Chapter 23 A new life has just begun

That night, Xu Jianing slept soundly.

She woke up just after dawn.

After coming to the kitchen, the elder sister Xu Jiayin was busy as usual.

There are already several pots of steaming honey chestnuts on the side.

Xu Jianing looked at her with some distress, "Sister, you got up so early to do it! There is no need to work so hard, really, our family can still survive. I have other ways to make more money. "

Xu Jiayin smiled at her and rubbed her hair with her hands, "It's okay, I can't sleep anyway. Dad went out very early, I'm afraid I don't have time to go to town with you today. I'll follow you later Together. You try and see what I make."

Xu Jianing took one sadly and ate it.

I have to say that her eldest sister is better than her in every aspect.

She nodded in satisfaction, and boasted without hesitation, "Sister, it would be a waste if you don't open a restaurant with your skills. Wait, when I make money, I will definitely set up a restaurant for you."

Xu Jiayin smiled, "That sister is waiting, I believe there will be such a day."

When it was completely dawn, there were knocks on the door, "Brother Dongyang, it's me, Jingde."

Mother Xu, who heard the voice, stumbled out of the room, "Jingde, why are you here so early? Your Brother Dongyang has gone to the mountains and hasn't come back yet, but is there something wrong?"

"Sister-in-law, I just wanted to ask, where are you going to settle down? After returning, I discussed with Xiuyun and the others, why don't your family go to my house first?"

Father Xu, who came back from hunting outside, just heard his words.

"Jingde, thank you for your kindness. I went to Lizheng again yesterday and asked him to help me find out where there is land for sale. We need a new home. It just so happens that there is an open space at the bottom of the mountain that is more suitable for us to settle in."

Xu Jingde looked at him in surprise, "Brother, are you going to buy land and build a house?"

Father Xu didn't treat him as an outsider, so he told him everything Li Zheng said.

When he learned that all the land would cost six taels of silver, Xu Jingde sighed, took out a tael of silver from his pocket, and handed it to him, "Brother, this is my private money, you take it first."

"How can it work? You don't have to worry about the money. Look, I hunted a lot of things today. I reckon I can make some money by selling them. It's not easy for you. You should take the money back. Just make up your mind."

Xu Jingde was determined to let him keep it, "Brother, you take it. If it wasn't because you wanted to save me back then, you wouldn't have broken your leg because of an accident. I'm the one who hurt you."

It turned out that there is such a story.It's no wonder that Xu Jingde is particularly concerned about their family affairs.

The two chatted for a long time, but it was Xu Jianing who made the decision and repaid in another way, so they stopped.

Xu Jianing, who was sitting on the bullock cart, hummed a little song with some complacency.

While driving, Xu Jingde said: "You girl is in a good mood. You are clever, you know that I want to give the money to your father, but you still don't tell me for me. Tell me, I will go to town later, I will What can I do to help?"

"Uncle Jingde, your task is very difficult. My father can't come today because of something, you have to help protect our two sisters! When we sell chestnuts later, you will help pack the chestnuts. This is also a kindness gone."

Xu Jingde shook his head amusedly.Even if she didn't say it, he would watch them from the sidelines.

After all, the two girls are doing business there, which is somewhat worrying.

Soon, they came to the town.

According to her father's instructions, Xu Jianing asked Xu Jingde to send them to the back door of the restaurant first, and after bringing the prey to the steward inside, she quickly got four taels of silver.

After such a delay, when they arrived at the place where the stall was set up before, there were already many people around.

After seeing them, someone in the crowd shouted, "Hurry up, line up. The girl who sold chestnuts is here."

"Girl, you're here. I thought you wouldn't be here today. Your chestnuts are really good. Both my old lady and children love to eat them."

The person who said this is someone who bought it before, and he is a repeat customer.

Pharaoh, who sells pork, also saw them.Hurry up to help, "Girl, you are here. Look at these people, they came here a long time ago. They have been waiting to buy your honey chestnuts."

"Also, I brought you a lot of those pigs that you wanted this time. No girl, why do you want those things? It's fishy and smelly, how can you eat it?"

Xu Jianing smiled, and said to him with a mysterious face, "Uncle Wang, when I make something delicious, I'll let you try it, I guarantee you will regret saying so."

After leaving this sentence, she started to get busy.

This time she took an extra bowl.Two people sell honey chestnuts, one collects money, and the three are busy.

Soon, the two baskets of chestnuts were sold out.

Xu Jianing rubbed his sore wrist, turned around and said to Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, do you still have pig's trotters and the like? Gotta sell something worthwhile."

"Yes, yes, I can help you get as much as you want. However, you have to tell me in advance."

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Jianing threw those pigs into the basket, went to the grocery store to buy something, and left.

When they got home, there were many people around the door.

Mrs. Xu Wang was leading people, guarding the gate, and said in a bad tone: "What's the matter? Haven't left yet? Didn't you agree to finish moving today? Do you want to hang on? It's okay if you don't leave, take If you get the money, the house will be sold to you.”

Xu Jianing jumped down from the bullock cart, "I think you are poor and crazy! Who cares about your broken house. Father and mother, we are back. Now we can move. Uncle Jingde parked the bullock cart at the door."

"Yes, let's load the car right now. Huh, it's like who cares about it. After Changyang and the others get along well, someone must not post it again. Bah, what the hell!"

Xu Jingde spat a little angrily.

"You..." Xu Wang jumped angrily.But no one paid any attention to her.

The people who were watching the excitement consciously stepped aside.Someone kindly offered a helping hand.

In fact, Xu Jianing and the others had very few things, two wooden boxes, a few old quilts, and some pots and pans, all of which could be accommodated in an ox cart.

After tidying up, Xu's father handed the key to Mrs. Xu without hesitation, "This is the key. We have moved all our things. From now on, we will be independent!"

This time there is no regret.The family walked cleanly.

For them, a new life has just begun.
