Chapter 62 Acquaintances

Wang Zhuangzhi walked up the steps and knocked on the door. Liu Zhihua led the children and waited under the steps.

Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked around. The mountains and green trees are very quiet, and ginseng essence likes quietness, she likes it.

Knocked for a while, but there was no movement in the yard.

"I think the host is not here." Wang Zhuangzhi sighed and walked down.

Liu Zhihua looked to the south and said: "I see there is blowing smoke over there, otherwise let's go up and inquire."

"Also."

Wang Zhuangzhi walked over to lead the bullock cart, just as the family was about to leave.

"Ambition?"

Suddenly a male voice came from behind.

Wang Zhuangzhi glanced back suspiciously, seeing the person who was coming, he was puzzled and asked, "Hey, Sihai, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhihua hugged Jiaojiao and looked at the dark and thin man suspiciously, she had never seen it before.

Sun Sihai is tall and thin, with a bow and arrow on his back, with a very simple and honest face, he walked over with a smile and said: "I just came down from the mountain, and I looked like you from a distance, so I thought I had misidentified the person."

They were all acquaintances from hunting before. Wang Zhuangzhi took his wife and children and introduced them to them first.

"By the way, Zhizhi, what are you doing with your family?" Sun Sihai asked puzzled.

Wang Zhuangzhi explained casually: "It's not an important matter, just look for a yard that isn't free."

Sun Sihai was taken aback when he heard the words, then he clasped his fists and smiled with emotion: "You still have the destiny to get rich. I heard people say that you dug medicinal materials and earned some money a few days ago. I didn't take it seriously. I never thought that you would buy a courtyard. Congratulations what."

Wang Zhuangzhi waved his hands and smiled, and sighed: "My family followed me from morning to dark and went up the mountain to the woods. We have encountered poisonous weeds and poisonous things, and we earned hard money."

"That's right. It's hard for a big man to run in the forest on the mountain, and it's even more dangerous to drag his family with him." Although Sun Sihai envied him, as a hunter, he naturally knew that it was not easy to go up the mountain and drill into the forest.

"If you buy a courtyard, the original residence will be vacant. When the road is blocked by snow this winter, I can borrow your empty house to keep warm and rest." Sun Sihai joked.

Wang Zhuangzhi smiled helplessly, and explained: "It's been raining a lot these past two days. My original earthen house was dilapidated and leaky, so I came out to find a suitable courtyard. Then go and rest."

Hearing this, Sun Sihai raised his head and circled around, frowning and persuading him: "Zhuangzhi, if this is the case, it will not be easy for you to earn some money. You might as well go to the town to buy a yard at the foot of this barren mountain. There are so many people there. Traveling is also convenient.”

Wang Zhuangzhi shook his head and smiled, and said, "The prices of the courtyards in the town are far from those here. How can farmers afford them? Buying a new courtyard is saved by tightening their belts."

"Hey, I know a family in the back, why don't I ask you." Sun Sihai pointed to the south and said.

Wang Zhuangzhi and Liu Zhihua looked in the direction of his finger, it was the house they were going to that was smoking.

Wang Zhuangzhi greeted with a smile: "Coincidentally, we are planning to go over there to ask, let's go together."

"Row."

The distance is not far, and the bullock cart has just turned a corner and arrived.

Sun Sihai jumped out of the car first, walked over with ease, raised his hand with a smile and knocked on the door, and shouted: "Brother Zhang."

There was a sound of footsteps in the inner courtyard, followed by a squeak, and the door opened, and a slender woman with a veil came out. Seeing Sun Sihai and a group of strangers behind, she asked in a low voice, "Uncle Sun, what's the matter with you? "

Sun Sihai cupped his fists and smiled, and said: "Axiu is back, I'll ask your father about something."

Axiu frowned, pursed her lips and nodded and said: "My mother fell ill again today, Uncle Sun will wait here first, let my father come out and talk to you."

Sun Sihai nodded and smiled: "Okay, your mother is important, just ask your father a few words and we will leave."

The woman closed the door and left.

Sun Sihai turned his head and said in a low voice to the Wang family: "Brother Zhang lives in the same village as my father-in-law. The girl named Axiu just now works as a maid for a big family in Ancheng. Last year, she bought a yard here for her parents. She is very promising. very."

Wang Zhuangzhi smiled when he heard this, and Liu Zhihua looked at the door and said, "This girl is really filial, and being a parent is also a blessing."

"That's not true, it is said that the master's family is very rich, and often rewards them..."

While speaking, the door was opened again.

A middle-aged man in a blue shirt came out with a sad face. Zhang Ping looked at the unfamiliar face, frowned and looked at Sun Sihai again, and asked in puzzlement, "Sihai, who are you?"

Sun Sihai pulled Wang Zhuangzhi forward, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, this is my brother Wang Zhuangzhi who is hunting together. He wants to find a yard near here. Does Brother Zhang know if there is any free yard around here?"

Wang Zhuangzhi hurriedly cupped his fists and shouted, "Brother Zhang."

Spare yard?

Zhang Ping raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, then raised his finger and pointed to the road they came up from, and said: "The owner of the yard moved out a few days ago at the first house you passed by when you came up. There is a carriage parked in the yard and someone is moving things, so they probably left now."

Wang Zhuangzhi hurriedly asked: "Does that elder brother know, how long will the master come back?"

"This is not certain, everything in the yard has been emptied."

Erya heard that, pulled Mother and whispered: "Mother, we must have met those two carriages."

Liu Zhihua sighed, nodded Xiao Li's head, and sighed in a low voice: "You missed a big deal by urinating, otherwise we would have caught up."

Xiao Li pouted, picked his fingers and bowed his head in silence, Qiu Sheng patted his head to comfort him, squatted down and hugged him and coaxed in a low voice: "Don't listen to mother, if you don't go to Big Brother, you have to go, don't blame Xiao Li."

Xiao Li buried his head in his elder brother's arms, and replied muffledly, "Yes."

Liu Zhihua laughed when she saw this, and when she was about to say something, Jiaojiao put her hand on Mother's mouth and said in a waxy voice, "Mother, what you said is wrong."

"Hey, it's okay, mother will stop talking."

Mother and son murmured in the back, Wang Zhuangzhi, who was mentioned earlier, looked a little emotional, thanked Brother Zhang with his fists together, and said helplessly to Sun Sihai: "It seems that there is no destiny."

Sun Sihai didn't help, and sighed: "Zhuang Zhi, the weather has changed a lot in the past two days, and there may be rain in a few days. Since your house can't live in, you have to look for it in these two days."

Zhang Ping, who was about to enter the door, heard this, looked at the young children, couldn't bear it, thought for a while and said: "Sihai, there is another courtyard, and that place is the outer courtyard built by Qing'an Temple. It was originally for a nobleman, but when I heard that the nobleman died of a sudden illness, I guess it was unlucky to release the news a few days ago that it was going to be sold, the new house has never been lived in, but the price is a bit expensive."
