The little peasant girl of Tianjia is mysterious and sassy

Chapter 18 Buying a House
Gu village chief's house
The family was finishing dinner, and while it was still dark, the village head's daughter-in-law Yang was weaving in the yard, and her daughter Gu Huai'en was learning embroidery.

Village head Gu was cutting bamboo strips.He plans to weave some baskets to hold grain during the autumn harvest.

Gu Zesen was reading under the eaves.

The family looked happy.

The courtyard door was wide open.

Gu's shouted from outside the door: "Yang Bin, Ze Sen's mother."

Xing Nong and Xing Qing also greeted each other: "Mr. Gu, Aunt Yang, Brother Gu..."

Seeing people coming in the yard, they all put down their work and stood up.

Village Chief Gu: "Auntie is here, come in quickly!"

"Auntie, Xing Nong, Xing Qing, come in and sit down!"

"Auntie, younger sister Xing Nong, younger sister Xing Qing."

Everyone greeted each other.

Mrs. Yang stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Gu: "Auntie, let's sit inside, the yard is too messy, don't be surprised."

Mrs. Gu hurriedly said: "No, just sit here. I'll leave as soon as I say something."

Mrs. Gu handed the meat in her hand to Mrs. Yang: "I don't have anything, let's add something to the children at home."

Mrs. Yang hurriedly refused: "I don't want it! Auntie brought something else! Isn't this offending me? Just now Xing Nong put a pack of meat buns on the ox cart. That's too polite."

Mrs. Gu didn't know this, but she naturally wouldn't take this meat back. She hung it on the bamboo pole under the eaves of the kitchen: "Xing Nong bought this too, and it's for the children's filial piety. You, an aunt, just keep it."

Mrs. Yang still wanted to refuse, but Village Chief Gu waved his hand: "Accept it! The child's heart, you can give some snacks to the children later."

After hearing the words, Yang did not refuse again, "Auntie, there is really no need to do this next time. You are too polite!"

She thought in her heart that she had just brought back a lot of seafood when she went back to her mother's house, so she would bring some of them back to Mrs. Gu to taste.

Gu Shi smiled and nodded.

Village head Gu: "Auntie, if you don't come, I want to find you. Your house is really not suitable for people to live in, and Meihua Village is not a place for people to stay. The people in Meihua Village are beasts."

Village head Gu began to curse, like a flood without a dike, rushing down, out of control!
The gossip woman's demeanor was nothing like his gentle appearance.

Xingqing was dumbfounded.

Xing Nong is used to seeing it, she just listened to it all the way.

Village head Gu repeated what he said to Xing Nong in the carriage with embellishments.

As he spoke, he even blinked at Xing Nong, as if to see if I was right?If you follow what I said, your grandma will come to see me.

Xing Nong couldn't laugh or cry.

Gu Zesen couldn't help but glance at Xing Nong.

The girl stood there quietly, listening carefully, looking very well-behaved and polite.

Xing Nong seemed to feel something and turned his head.

The eyes of the two met in the air.

Gu Zesen smiled, with helpless eyes, and said in a low voice: "My father is just a talker."

Xing Nong smiled.Everyone will have their own little temper, there is nothing wrong with it.

Mrs. Gu couldn't listen to it anymore, if he continued, the eighteen generations of ancestors would have no peace, so she hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Yang Bin, I'm here today just to look at your old house, and I'll move here sometime. .”

Yang Shi was also afraid of her husband-in-law, and hurriedly said: "Okay, don't talk about it, you can take her to see the house quickly! It will be dark after talking about it."

Village Chief Gu hadn't finished the speech he had prepared, and he closed his mouth somewhat unsatisfactorily: "Just move! I'll have someone repair the house in the next two days, and you can move in within three days at the earliest. .”

The house is at the end of Taohua Village, and we arrived after a short walk.

There is a river in front of the house, mountains behind it, a large field not far away, and a lotus pond.

It is the end of summer now, and there are still some lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond, and the scenery is quite good.

This large field belongs to the villagers of Taohua Village and the villagers of Meihua Village.

Xing Nong liked the environment immediately.

The house only needs to be remodeled, plant some flowers, build some flower stands and pavilions, swing, and sit on the swing to read a book, bask in the sun, and drink tea when you have time.

The village chief opened the courtyard door, and several people walked in.

The house is an adobe house. The house is surrounded by fences. The yard is very large and some vegetables are planted.

The vegetables in the field grow very well, which shows that the owner takes care of it with care.

The village chief smiled and said, "The child's mother has grown vegetables in this yard, and you will have vegetables to eat immediately after you move here."

"That's impossible! We can't have these dishes." Gu Shi hurriedly waved his hands.

Yang Shi and Gu Zesen were a step slower because they were packing their things.

Gu Zesen came in with a pannier on his back at this time, wearing a blue shirt and a square scarf on his head, which didn't fit into the pannier on his back.

He smiled gently and said, "It's okay, my mother grows so much that she can't finish it."

Mrs. Yang nodded: "I can't finish eating. There is a vegetable field at our house, which is closer to the water source. I just have nothing to do. If I have land, don't waste it. I distribute it to the village on weekdays." People eat. These dishes are reserved for you to bring over to eat, and in a few days, many of them will be ready to eat. This time, I will also bring some home to eat."

As she said that, the village head's wife bent down and began to pick out some relatively large cabbage hearts.

Usually the vegetables at the edge of the vegetable bed will grow faster and better.

"Auntie, let's go into the house and have a look." The village head led Xing Nong and the others into the house to have a look.

This is a courtyard with three rooms and two corridors.

"Sanjian" refers to three houses lined up in a row, with a hall in the middle and living rooms on both sides.

The hall is relatively deep and long, and the living rooms on both sides are opened separately. There are four rooms in total.

In front of the house is a patio.

There are two slightly lower houses on both sides of the patio, which are "corridors".

The windows on both sides of the room are opened very small and high for safety and confidentiality, so the room looks very dark.

One of the "two corridors" is used as a stove room, and the other is a gatehouse, which can be used as a firewood room and stacked sundries, such as farm tools and the like.

Although the house has not been lived in for many years, it is obviously maintained regularly and is very dry.

The most important thing is that the front and back yards are quite large.Coincidentally, there are many things that Xing Nong wants to plant.

At the back, a little far from the main house, several low chicken coops, pigpens and cowsheds were built.

"Uncle Gu, how much is this house?"

Upon hearing the words, Village Chief Gu said: "I don't need any money, I'll give it to you. We don't want to live in this house. It's been idle for many years, so it's not worth any money. You just live in it!"

Mrs. Gu hurriedly replied: "Then how can it work, we won't move if we don't collect the money."

Xing Nong: "Uncle Gu, we can live in peace of mind after buying it."

Gu Zesen said immediately after hearing the words: "Father, you can accept it. When I go back to the academy, I will go to the yamen to help my aunt and the others get the land and house deeds."

"Then five taels of silver!" Village head Gu also knew Gu's temperament, but he didn't like to owe people, so he said a compromise price.
