Chapter 172 Buying a House

After returning from the garden, Chun Niang was in a daze for a long time.

By this time, the children had all gone to school, and she was the only one left at home.

Chun Niang went to see the peonies, roses, and wood dandelions planted by her little girl.

These flowers and trees not only grow luxuriantly, but also have blooms.

Originally, she didn't pay much attention to the growth of flowers and trees, but today she occasionally saw other people's flower seedlings, which were also planted just this spring and only grew to the length of chopsticks.

Looking at these, I have to sigh that it is amazing.

"Chun Niang, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Zhou came in from the yard and saw her three younger siblings squatting in front of the flower garden in a daze, so she asked.

Chun Niang stood up and said with a smile: "I didn't do anything, I just smelled the fragrance of the wood pill."

Mrs. Zhou also came over and smelled it, and the fragrance was fragrant. "Hey, this wood pill is so fragrant. The more I smell it, the more I want to smell it."

Chun Niang smiled, picked a few flowers from the tree branches and handed them to her sister-in-law: "Take them and sew them into a sachet."

Originally, the wood dandelion sachets were only available during the Five Poison Months. Now that they are blooming, I can use them to make a few sachets for the children to wear.

Zhou did not refuse and accepted the bouquet of flowers. "Chun Niang, I want to ask you for an idea today."

Chun Niang: "What's going on?"

"It's not our Dacheng family yet." Mrs. Zhou sat down under the grape trellis in the yard, "Yunniang helped Dacheng fall in love with a girl in the county town and agreed to go see her tomorrow, but Dacheng refused to go. "

Chun Niang: "Why don't you go?"

"Who knows." Mrs. Zhou was troubled by her eldest son's marriage. "He only said that he didn't want to get married for the time being, so let's not worry about it. Oh, can I not worry about it? He is seventeen this year, two Quan is also fifteen, and it seems that Quan and Quan are about to meet each other, but his eldest brother has not yet been found, so there is no way he can make a decision for his younger brother before his eldest brother."

Ms. Zhou was so anxious that she wanted to shed tears, "His father doesn't care about anything, he just wants to let it go. Chun Niang, tell me, can you just let it go?"

Chun Niang was also at a loss.

Since this eldest nephew was harmed by the Chu family girl once, he avoids all girls like a snake and a scorpion. Let alone let him go to see each other, if the adults casually mention which girl is good, he will leave. Nine-headed cow Can't pull it back.

Zhou continued: "Dacheng obeys his third uncle's advice. I want you to talk to his third uncle and let him advise Dacheng. There are no girls in the world who are as ignorant as that one from the Chu family. Don't be fooled." I’ll be afraid of the well rope if I bite it for ten years.”

"Okay, I'll tell Saburo when he comes back tonight."

Chun Niang comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. The Dacheng family is only seventeen, and we still have twenty people in our village to get married." For example, Chen Zhu, the youngest son of the patriarch's family, only got married when he was twenty years old.

The two talked for a while, and then Mrs. Zhou left with a handful of rosewood flowers in her pocket.

When Jiang Sanlang came back in the evening, he heard his wife mention the matter of Dacheng, and said indifferently: "Dacheng doesn't want to see each other, so let him do whatever he wants. He must have not met a good match, so this matter cannot be rushed."

Chun Niang said angrily: "Although I'm not in a hurry, my eldest aunt came here with a letter. She gave me one of the photos and promised to go see him tomorrow. I'm going to break the promise. I'm afraid it won't be easy for my eldest aunt to explain."

Jiang Sanlang: "If you break the promise, you'll break the promise. What's there to say? With such a long journey, who can guarantee that we will be there tomorrow?"

The eldest sister Yun Niang is really not smart about things. She casually sent a letter and asked Dacheng to go to the county town to visit her. She didn't even tell her what she was doing at home. No wonder Dacheng refused to go.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her husband, Chun Niang gave up, brought him a basin of water to wash his face, and asked casually: "Why did Chen Changsheng of the West Village call you to do today?"

"It's not just about growing golden ear. Many families in their village want to grow it and want to buy strains from me." Jiang Sanlang picked up a towel and washed his face. After washing his face, he poured the water from the basin into the footbath and began to take off his shoes and wash them. foot.

Chun Niang handed him a footcloth, "You agreed?"

Jiang Sanlang shook his head: "I would like to agree, but I don't have any germs."

Our own products are all high-quality golden ears and will not be sold to others under any circumstances.

At the end of February, Manager Zhou came and took away all the fine gold ears from the Jiang family, but he never asked about the gold ears in the hands of other villagers. He probably didn't care much about the ordinary gold ears and snow ears.

Before leaving, Manager Zhou also told Jiang Sanlang that there were many empty houses for sale in the county. If you are interested, you should buy them quickly. If you are late, you will not be able to buy them.

Jiang Sanlang seriously considered it once, but because he was too busy with things, he forgot about it.

Then I thought about it, a month had passed, and I was afraid it would be too late to buy it again.

But the little girl kept urging him to go to the county seat and have a look, saying that if Xiaojie and Huzi wanted to take the scientific examination, they must go to the county seat to study, otherwise it would not be easy to pass the exam.

After wiping his feet, Jiang Sanlang put on his wooden clogs and went out to pour water.

I went to take a look at my two sons' room again, and saw that they were already asleep, so I turned around and came back, took a look at my daughter's room, and turned off the lights to rest.

I went back to the house and lay down on the kang. I thought about it and said to my wife, "Chun Niang, let's go to the county and buy a house."

Chun Niang's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"

The family still has more than three hundred taels of silver, and originally wanted to buy some paddy fields, but the younger daughter disagreed, saying that in the future there will be floods, and those fields will be worthless. Buying paddy fields at high prices now is just a waste of money.

Chun Niang and her husband always obeyed their little girl's words, so they didn't buy it.

But with so much cash saved at home, she never felt at ease, fearing that another group of thieves would suddenly come and steal all the money.

"Of course it's true." Jiang Sanlang put his hands on the pillow and said leisurely: "Let's buy a house in the county, so we don't have to stay in an inn when we come and go. Besides, Xiaojie and Yuanbao go to the county to study. Without a house, it might be inconvenient to take care of them."

Chun Niang asked expectantly: "Then when are you going to buy it?"

"The day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow I will go to the town and hire a car to go to the county seat. If everything goes well, I will buy a carriage and bring it back." It is really inconvenient for me not to have a car at home. Going to the market and visiting relatives depends on my feet. Sir It's nothing, but the kids can't stand it.

Moreover, mules and horses can also plow fields. He also wants to reclaim the wasteland over the orchard. Having mules and horses can save a lot of time and effort.

"It's time to buy a car at home." Chun Niang suddenly remembered what my eldest sister-in-law said and asked, "Then will you take Dacheng with you? You should go and talk to eldest sister."

Jiang Sanlang: "It's up to him whether he wants to go or not. I'll tell my eldest sister."

The sister-in-law is also afraid that her son will not find a wife.

Apart from other things, just because of Dacheng’s good looks, good figure, and good character, there will always be a shortage of wives. Maybe he will be like his second uncle in the future and find a good wife to take home. Woolen cloth.

"That's okay." Chun Niang felt relieved when her husband agreed to come forward.

I'll tell my sister-in-law tomorrow, so I agree to her request.

Early the next morning, Chun Niang got up to check whether the chicks had hatched.

I saw many fluffy chicks crawling around under the wings of the three hens.

Chun Niang quickly picked them up into a large basket lined with broken grass, and then covered them with a small quilt.

There are still a few eggs under the hen's belly that have not hatched, but a small hole has been pecked.

Chun Niang directly peeled off the egg shell bit by bit, took out the wet chick inside, stuffed it again under the hen's belly and covered it.
