Chapter 22

Lizheng's daughter-in-law, who had been silent all this time, said in a low voice, "I mean, just now Jingde came to look for you in a hurry, and I felt something was wrong at that moment. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen to the Changyang family."

"But do they really have the money to build a house?"

Li Zheng glared at her, and said reproachfully, "You are as ignorant as Cuihua. You didn't see what was written in the divorce letter. In order to leave the main house completely, they spent 100 taels of silver. "

"What? 100 taels? Crazy! No, how could they have so much money? I have lived to this age, and I have never seen so much money."

As if thinking of something, Lizheng's wife patted her thigh fiercely, "Father, what did Dongyang just say? There is no place to live, right? You forgot, our old house happens to be empty, so let them live in it." Last few days."

Lizheng shook his head in disapproval, "Why do people live in that place? It's worse than their thatched house. There are air leaks in several places."

"That's easy! Tomorrow, ask the boss, the second, and the third to help with repairs. Why can't people live in it? You said before that you would let the children clean up the house when you're done with work. Did you forget? It's just a matter of our favor, killing two birds with one stone." .”

When Li Zheng heard it, it really made sense.He regretted it a little, why didn't he tell Xu Dongyang just now.

At this moment, a little boy ran out of the room, "Grandpa, grandma, eat meat. It's delicious!"

The boy held a piece of steaming pig's trotter in his hand, and handed it to Li Front, and Le De Li laughed loudly, "Oh, grandpa's grandson, he is so filial! He even knows how to send it here." Give it to grandparents."

The man who followed behind scratched his head in embarrassment, "Father, mother, I asked Yunniang to leave a bun and a pig's trotter for each of you. Not to mention, the girl from Dongyang's family is really good at making things eat."

Thinking of the business, Li Zheng stopped teasing his grandson and said to his eldest son: "Early tomorrow morning, you and the second and third children will go to repair our old house. I plan to let the Changyang family stay for a few days. It is not easy for them .”

"You guys eat, I'll go to Dongyang's house and tell them the news. In case they have to look for a place to live tomorrow."

Fortunately, the moon was very big, and under the moonlight, they soon came to the thatched house where Xu Changyang lived.

Before entering the door, I heard crying inside.

He sighed, and gently knocked on the door, "Is Dongyang asleep? I'm your Uncle Li."

Xu Dongyang, who was sitting in the yard to breathe, felt a little bit in his heart. Could it be that something happened to the house?

He rushed over quickly, quickly opened the courtyard door, and quickly welcomed Li Zheng in, "Uncle, what are you?"

The two Xu family sisters who heard the movement also came out of the kitchen and stared straight at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng didn't see their nervousness, and said on his own, "I came here to tell you that you don't need to find a place to live. Before the house is built, go to live in my old house for a while."

"However, you know that my house has not been lived in for a long time, and many places need to be adjusted. I have to ask my sons to fix the house. You can move things to the kitchen first. The kitchen is good."

As soon as Xu Dongyang grabbed Li Zheng's hand, he said gratefully, "Uncle Li Zheng, thank you so much. To tell you the truth, after returning from your place, our family discussed it. If it doesn't work, we will go Live in the cave for a few days."

He wasn't lying.Just now, their family really discussed it that way.Although it is a bit dangerous, at least there is a place to stay.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Zheng would bring this good news.This really surprised them.

After seeing off Lizheng, Xu Dongyang was still standing in the yard with a cheerful smirk.

Soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Ning'er, if we live there, what about the chestnuts we bought earlier? If someone finds out, won't we be unable to make money?"

Xu Jianing quickly comforted and said: "Father, this thing can't be sold for a long time, so I just want to find something fresh. Most of them come from the countryside, and people will recognize it after a long time. Let's take advantage of people's reaction. Time to make a fortune."

Xu Dongyang muttered softly, "What a pity!"

Xu Jianing said a little funny, "There's nothing to be sorry about! Dad, what do you think of the braised pig's trotters I made today?"

"It's not bad. I think it's delicious, and it's especially suitable for dinner! But Jianing, how do you know these things? I remember that no one in our family knows these things."

Xu Jianing touched his nose nervously, and lied without blushing, "I heard from Dr. Liu that many spices can be added to dishes. It is good for people's health. I listened to it and wanted to try it out." look."

Afraid that he would continue to ask, Xu Jianing quickly changed the topic, "I was thinking, we can buy some braised pig's trotters and sell them. Even if someone imitates them, they can't make our taste. And the cost of this thing is too high." Low, more suitable for us."

Xu Jianing's words ignited Father Xu's fighting spirit again.

He feels that he can't go on like this, and life has to go on. Now that everything is developing in a good direction, he has no reason to be negative.

After patting the ashes off his body, he followed the two children to the kitchen and continued to process the chestnuts.

Anyway, they don't have much stuff, and what should be packed has already been packed.

There are only some chestnuts left that have not been processed in time. While there is still time, as many as can be processed, and those that cannot be processed, get up early and store them somewhere, and then go get them back after they are settled.

After making up his mind, Xu's father felt a lot more relaxed.

Two hours later, with the joint efforts of the father and daughter, those chestnut fur balls were all disposed of by them.

Xu's father collected all the fur ball shells again, and planned to dry them and use them as firewood in the future.

After finishing all this work, Xu's father called two sisters to sit with him in the courtyard and chat.

He expressed his thoughts, "Jia Ning, Jia Yin, although we still have money, but for the sake of safety, I think our new house can be the same as an ordinary house."

"Early tomorrow morning, I will be hunting in the mountains. After delivering the things to Lizheng's house, I will accompany you to the town to sell chestnuts. When we come back, we will give Lizheng the money from the land."

Xu Jianing knew what he meant, but he was worried that he would spend too much money all at once, which was hard to explain.

After all, they are in the countryside, and the money, in the eyes of others, is something they will never get for a few lifetimes.If it is not guaranteed, someone will do something for money.

People say that if you eat something, you will gain wisdom, and you are right.

After experiencing this, Father Xu changed and became more cautious.
