MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 204
The next morning, Lu Gu woke up and lay on the bed for a while. When he sat up and got dressed, he turned his head and found that their brother Ling was also awake. He stared at him with **** eyes and smiled. .
Today was really embarrassing, he didn't cry a single word, he smiled and lowered his head, making a tongue out to tease Lingjun: "Look who's awake."
He got dressed and stood by the bed, moved the child over to put on thick clothes, it was a little cold in the morning.
Shen Xuanqing, who had washed up in the courtyard, came in. Seeing that Brother Ling was awake, he smiled and took him from Lu Gu's arms.
"He doesn't want to pee at the moment, remember to wait outside and get to the other end." Lu Gu urged, and went outside to scoop up water.
I'm going to take the child to town today. It won't be too late to go when it's not so cold. Shen Xuanqing hugs his son with joy. He hasn't been at home often these days. Although Brother Ling recognizes him and lets him hug him, it's obvious that he can't see him. After Lu Gu, the smile on the child's face gradually disappeared, and there was no expression on his face, so he had to whistle a few times to tease him.
In the yard, Lu Gu scooped up the wash water. Seeing the good boy yawning and stretching his waist, he scooped a spoonful of water into the dog food bowl, and the good boy walked over and lowered his head to drink.
It is not late autumn and winter now, and there is no need to burn the face wash water. Shen Xuanqing woke up the earliest, and had already ordered the water to be boiled in the clay pot.
After he washed up, he went into the kitchen to cook a big pot for breakfast, and heard the movements of Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan in the main room.
"Mother, Brother Ling has peeed. Change your pants."
Before seeing the two of them come to scoop the water, Shen Xuanqing's voice sounded.
"Come here." Wei Lanxiang agreed as she walked into the room.
He heard the voice and sat down again. He just changed his pants. He didn't need so many people. He usually carried him when he woke up early. He could remember to let the child pee. Shen Xuanqing didn't take the child very often. if.
"Brother Guzi, you go to see the house today." Shen Yan came in with a wooden basin and said while scooping up water.
"Well, what do you want, I'll bring you back when you come back." Lu Gu smiled and just went over to see the house. Before moving, he, Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yaoqing would go, and Shen Yan would stay with Ji Qiuyue housekeeping at home.
"I don't have anything to bring. I told my mother to ask her to come back and buy me two shortbreads." Shen Yan scooped up the water and carried the wooden basin, and said with a smile, "When the second brother really buys the house, I will Look again."
Lu Gu nodded and smiled, "That's natural."
After eating breakfast, the sun came out to dispel the coldness of the morning. Seeing that the water tank was almost bottomed out, Shen Xuanqing carried two wooden buckets and ran back and forth several times to fill the water tank. Only then did a few people go to the big house. .
Wei Lanxiang brought a bamboo basket with milk nuts and two clean diapers in it, and Shen Yan also brought one, which was a breakfast meal for Ji Qiuyue and the others.
As soon as he came over, he saw that Shen Yaoqing had pulled both scooters to the gate of the courtyard, and even carried out two large sacks of grain for Li Laiqing.
The carts used for the two mule carts were all new, bigger than the old one that pulled grass at their house.
"He came early, and before I got up, I heard a knock on the door outside, gave him a straw basket, and told him that he would come over if he wanted to drink tea and hot water." Shen Yaoqing said with a smile.
The grass pulled from the ground is usually brought back to the pigs and sheep to eat. It takes time and effort to pull the grass. Once you pull it, you can just throw it away. There are a few more baskets of grass every day, so you are not afraid of starving animals.
"These two bags." He patted the sack and said, "He went home for dinner at noon, and it happened that Uncle He and the others didn't need a scooter at that time, so he asked them to pull them back, and the two hundred catties of grain for the first year were given."
"Alright." Shen Xuanqing nodded, and first rolled up his sleeves and went to the backyard to feed the livestock with Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan.
As soon as Zhaoer woke up, Linggeer rubbed his eyes and looked lazy. Lu Gu pulled out the wooden cradle and let the child lie in the cradle.
Ji Qiuyue and Shen Yaoqing were having breakfast. He poured water and asked Zhaoer to squat down. He wiped his eyes and wiped his face. Dumpling, he wiped and smiled.
"Happy to see the auntie?" Ji Qiuyue sat beside the cradle, nibbling on the steamed buns and shaking the rattle to Ling Ge'er. Seeing the child laughing at her, she started talking to Ling Jun.
Shen Yaoqing finished eating two steamed buns in a few mouthfuls, then got up and went to the backyard to work.
When the work was done in the middle of the morning, a few people loaded 20 rabbits onto the trolley again. The butcher shop was closed for several days, and it had to open for business tomorrow. It was also for this reason that Shen Xuanqing did not come back at night. Shen Yaoqing had to drive the car to pull Wei Lanxiang and Lu Gu.
Before leaving, because there were only Ji Qiuyue and Shen Yan left at home, and the house was too big, Li Laiqing had to come over to pull rice noodles. He was a man, and he was a bit shy, Wei Lanxiang told them after getting on the scooter: "No. There are also cakes, get some hot tea, and ask your third grandma to come and accompany you, Xinlian and Yu Geer are also there, if they are doing needlework, let them come over."
"I know mother, don't worry, Yuping said two days ago that he wanted to borrow a dog to go up the mountain to chase the rabbit, I even called him." Ji Qiuyue agreed with a smile.
The mule cart swayed, and Lu Gu hugged the child and joked with Wei Lanxiang all the way, and arrived at Jixing Town.
After unloading the rabbit, I saw that it was almost noon, so I simply had a meal at the noodle restaurant next door.
Turning around the corner on the east side of Xixing Street, and walking forward a section of Nanji Street, Shen Xuanqing pointed to the alley in front and said with a smile, "This is Pearl Alley."
As he walked, he said, "Yaxing is on the other side, you wait here, I'll go call Yazi, the key on the door is in his hand."
Shen Yaoqing nodded: "Go, we will wait at the entrance of the alley."
So Shen Xuanqing quickened his pace and went forward, Lu Gu changed his arms to hug Brother Ling, and the three walked slower, looking at the shops on the street as they walked.
After reaching the entrance of the alley, Wei Lanxiang stuck her head out to look inside. The Pearl Alley was wider than the Willow Branch Alley behind the butcher's shop. She secretly felt it, it was definitely not cheap.
Not long after, Shen Xuanqing and Shao Yazi came over, and they walked into the alley and stopped in front of the sixth courtyard.
Shao Yazi unlocked the lock, raised his hand in a gesture of "please", and stepped into the door with Shen Xuanqing.
This is a small house with one entry. It is not big or small. It is enough for a family. There is a stone table and four stone benches in the open space in the east of the front yard, a persimmon tree in the west, and a stove in the southwest corner. house.
Lu Gu walked around the courtyard with the child's eyes in his arms. Now he is a bit knowledgeable. The layout of this house is simple and there are not many houses.
"Don't think there is only one wing of this thing, but the room is big. If there are many people, it can be divided into two rooms." Shao Yazi walked to the east wing door and opened the door for them to see. A small house like this is naturally better than A big mansion that does not allow two-entry into three-entry.
Wei Lanxiang took a look at the east wing, and then went to the west wing to look again, it was a big one.
Going to the main house on the north side, there are three even the main room and the houses on both sides. Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang looked everywhere.
And what Shen Xuanqing liked about this house was that it had a backyard, with firewood and livestock sheds, and a well in the backyard, so there was no need to go out to fetch water.
As soon as he came to the backyard, Shen Yaoqing walked to the well, lowered his head to look at the well water, dropped the bucket of water, filled half a bucket of water, grabbed the well rope and hung it up, stretched out his hand and picked up a handful of water, then raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Well water It's cold, I heard people say that people who eat melons and fruits in summer, people who have wells hang melons and fruits in it, it's cold and cold."
"That's what our family is like." Shao Yazi grinned and said, "If you have water from this well, you don't need to go outside with a bucket, and you don't need to pay attention to the water seller. You don't talk about it for a year or two, and you don't need to talk about it for a year or two. It will save a lot of water money every year.”
It is precisely for this well that an extra 10 taels of silver will be spent. Ordinary people will have to live for a long time to buy a house.
There is a well and a front and back yard. Even if the family comes over, there are several houses that are enough to live in. It is only a street away from the butcher's shop. This house is the best that Shen Xuanqing can buy. There is actually another one on Xixing Street, but It was a big house with a second entry, and the price was naturally high.
Shao Yazi was the most able to wink. When he saw that they were going to discuss, he immediately went to the front with a smile, and said to let them turn around and wait in front of him. If there is anything, he will come.
"Mother, how is it?" Shen Xuanqing naturally wanted to ask the old lady.
Wei Lanxiang looked around and said, "It's good, but I don't know the price."
He paused for a moment, thinking that it was meaningless to hide it, and then said: "This is a shop facing the street, not in a remote place on the outskirts of the town. Fortunately, the house is small. On the well, there are eighty-two in total."
Not to mention Wei Lanxiang, even Lu Gu opened his mouth, eighty taels.
Seeing the two of them looking like this, Shen Xuanqing took Linger from Lu Gu's arms and said with a smile: "Eighty taels looks like a lot, but it's close to the shop, I can take care of it, it's convenient to come back to eat, like a remote alley, cheap It’s cheap, and there are even a small courtyard of thirty-five taels with five or six rooms, but it’s far away, and I’ll go to the shop by then, so how can you rest assured that you and your child are at home alone.”
Ling Jun was held in front of him, facing Lu Gu, Xu Shi reached an unfamiliar place, and he stretched out his arms to return to Lu Gu's arms.
"These 80 taels have been agreed with Shao Yazi, and you don't need to pay for other money. He will help you run when you set up the contract and seal the official seal." Shen Xuanqing gave the child to Lu Gu, and he searched for half a month in Jixing Town. , I am still satisfied with this house, otherwise I will not bring my family to see it.
Wei Lanxiang looked at her eldest son, saw Shen Yaoqing nod lightly, thinking that it wasn't her who paid for the house, she gritted her teeth and nodded, it was eighty taels of silver.
After Shen Xuanqing looked over, Lu Gu hesitated, and finally nodded, but he was also thinking about eighty taels of silver.
Since everyone is willing, the matter is settled like this. A few people pushed open the door of the firewood house, and even opened the backyard door to take a look. Behind them is Pearl Alley, a row of back alleys where people use livestock and firewood carts. , which is important.
A few people came to the front yard again. Shao Yazi was waiting. When he heard that he wanted to buy it, his smile became even more attentive.
"After moving here, mother, if you want to come, you have a place to live." Shen Xuanqing was very happy.
When he said this, Lu Gu looked around with a slight smile on his brows, which was completely different from Fang Cai's mood. They will live here in the future, close to Shen Xuanqing.
It's better to hit the next day than to choose another day. Since everyone came here today, the matter of establishing the deed will not be postponed. Shao Yazi asked them to wait, and then went back to his own house to get the house deed, land deed and pen and paper.
There are exactly four stone benches in the yard. After sitting down, Lu Gu looked up at the persimmon tree in the west. Just like at home, you can also eat persimmons here. Thinking of the name of Pearl Alley, he frowned and said to himself. nice.
