Chapter 24 My Grandpa Calls You for Breakfast
Qi Yougui knew that house, and he was a little reluctant, "Those two houses are really dilapidated, and they are on the edge of the village. The old/second is with a granddaughter. It's always inconvenient to live in the side."

As he said that, he turned his head and complained to Qi Younian: "Tell me about you, you are old and old, and you still have that stubborn temper. We are brothers, why can't we live with our own brothers? You have to come out to find a house to live in, how can there be such a ready-made one?" Is the house reserved for you? You can find out when you go and have a look, that house can’t live in people at all.”

The three of them were followed by Ye Xinyan and Jinmao. If the house was finished and needed to be tidied up, the two of them would naturally follow.

Hearing He Quantai and Qi Yougui talking, Ye Xinyan had already made up her mind that no matter how dilapidated the house was, they would live here too.It's better than sharing the same yard with the landlord. Not only is it inconvenient, but when they do business or something, if they encounter many things, they may be harassed to death.

When I got to the ground, I saw that it was no wonder that the original residents built another house and abandoned this place directly.Not to mention the dilapidation of these two adobe houses, the main reason is that the location is not good, they are not next to each other, and they are alone in the northwest corner of the village.There is a large open space behind the house, which looks full of gravel and has no cultivation value. It looks very desolate.

Qi You looked back and forth, and it was better than expected.There are two adobe houses facing south, with a small kang connected to the stove on the outside and a slightly larger kang on the inside.It happened that Ye Zi and Jin Nai lived in the inner room, and he lived in the small kang outside.

Near the wall in the courtyard, there is also the outline of a shed, which has been rebuilt and a roof is erected, which can be used as a barn.There are walls around the yard. Although it is a bit dilapidated and there are gaps, it is not troublesome to repair it.

They walked all the way, but they couldn't find a place to stay. They also slept under the eaves of other people's houses. At least there is a shelter from the wind and rain here, which is already very good.

Thinking of this, Qi Younian ignored Qi Yougui's repeated objections, nodded directly, and decided to live here.At most, he would spend some effort and repair it well.

Seeing Qi Younian nodding and nodding, Ye Xinyan was also happy.The grandfather I recognized was indeed the boss who had been the head of a local snake. He never hesitated and made a decision immediately when he was in trouble.

Once the matter is settled, it will be easy to handle, and the few people will return to Qi Yougui's house.

Ye Xinyan asked Qi Younian to rest at his uncle's house and talk to his uncle and uncle.She and Nanny Jin led the donkey cart, together with two cousins ​​from the uncle's family, and went back to the abandoned yard to clean up.

The settlement of Qi Younian and the three of them in Qinghe Village still needs to be discussed with He Quantai.Therefore, Qi Younian didn't argue with Ye Xinyan, and asked his two nephews to help Ye Xinyan and Jinmao clean up the house.He himself stayed behind, and finalized the household registration of the three of them in Qinghe Village with his elder brother and He Quantai.

After discussing the business, Qi Younian didn't go back, and went to work in the field with Qi Yougui, chatting.Now is the busy farming season, because I have already delayed my brother and family for a long time because I came back, and it would be even worse to let someone sit around with me.

What Qi Younian wanted was not to delay the farming work of the two brothers, but Wang and Song were even more worried about whether Qi Younian would have the desire to divide the family property, asking for it while he was working in the field.The sister-in-law also locked the door and followed them to the field.

Ye Xinyan and Nanny Jin wrapped their hair with handkerchiefs, and with the help of Qi Cheng and Qi Ercheng, they spent half a day tidying up the two rooms.

As for the yard and the shed where animals can be tied up, I had to leave them alone and tidy them up slowly when I had free time.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Xinyan had no property now, so she could only pour two bowls of water, thanked Brother Qi Cheng, and said that the house was settled, and then invited them to come over as guests, and let the two go back to help in the fields knock off.

The three of Ye Xinyan's things were simple. After tidying up the room, the luggage, clothes and some simple utensils carried on the donkey cart were neatly arranged in the room, and it was regarded as a preliminary appearance of a home.

Do these things well, the sun is already westward.

The seven or eight-year-old Qi Sanshun from Qi Yougui's family ran over and said that his grandmother asked Ye Xinyan to go to Qi's house for dinner.

Ye Xinyan saw that the pot used on the road had been set up, and even the water in the pot was boiled, so she smiled and said to Sanshun, "Sanshun went back and told Aunt and Grandmother that our mush will be ready soon. Don't go there, just let the second uncle eat at your place."

Sanshun looked suspiciously at the strange cooking stove at Second Grandpa's house, and then went back to spread the word.

When Qi Younian came back, it was already dark.Taking advantage of the light at dusk, he looked inside and out, and said with a smile, "It's not bad. Only the doors and windows are broken. I'll find some wood to repair it tomorrow, and I'll make do with it today."

After finishing speaking, he suppressed his smile and sighed, "It is said that we just came back, so we can stay at your uncle's grandfather's house for a few days. But, I think my two nieces and daughters-in-law seem to have different ideas. There, I am afraid that some disputes and disharmony will come out. Alas, I have wronged you."

Ye Xinyan supported Qi Younian's arm and walked into the room, she smiled and said, "What did grandpa say? People say that the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as our own grass nest. This is our own home, of course we live in our own It’s more comfortable and comfortable at home.”

Then I remembered what Qi Younian said about repairing doors and windows, "Isn't grandpa a mason? You can also repair doors and windows? Otherwise, we'd better hire a carpenter to do it."

Ye Xinyan really planned, how come she still has some money at home, so she can find a carpenter to repair the doors and windows.

Qi Younian said with a smile: "A lot of us worked together back then, and we saw a lot. Even if we are not proficient in carpentry, we can do some general repairs."

Ye Xinyan said with a smile: "That's good, it can save you a lot of money. I'll help you when the time comes, let's do it together."

Nanny Jin smiled and said angrily, "You little girl, what can you do, just don't make trouble."

Nanny Jin was also happy to be able to live in her own home. After nearly half a year of ups and downs, she finally settled down this time.Although the house and yard are dilapidated, it is better than sleeping on the street without household registration.Speaking of which, they had actually slept on the streets a few times along the way.

The three chatted a few words, took a rest early, and slept soundly.

After a whole night of silence, Qi Younian got up early the next morning. Although he tried his best to keep his movements light, Ye Xinyan heard the movement and got up with Jinmao.

After washing and feeding the donkeys, the sun just came out.

When Nanny Jin went to cook breakfast, Ye Xinyan discussed with Qi Younian: "Grandpa, let's not repair the doors and windows today, and leave Nanny to clean up the yard at home, and you and I will go to town to buy some urgently needed things at home."

Now they only have the small pot and three sets of bowls and chopsticks.That small pot couldn't even hold the big stove in the room.There are also washbasins, foot basins, panels for cooking, water tanks, buckets, pots and pans, etc., all of which have to be repurchased.

Qi Younian thinks about it, it's better to live a tight life, and the doors and windows can make do for half a day.

As soon as the three of them started drinking, Sanshun ran over, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they called out, "Second Grandpa, my grandfather is calling you and my cousin to go home for breakfast." in the house.
