Chapter 97 Good news again and again

Throughout June, there was no shortage of voices scolding Mr. Yuanhe in the contents of the newspaper.

Chen Heng stayed in the academy every day, so he naturally didn't care.Besides, what they scolded was Yuan He, so what did it have to do with Chen Heng?

The existence of the head of the mountain is like a barrier, isolating all disturbances from the outside world.This allowed Chen Heng to concentrate on his studies.

Such days continued until the end of the month, and Chen Heng finally waited for two excellent news.

One is the corvee service of the second uncle Chen Huaijin, which will end on the first day of July.The second is that grandfather Chen Yushan finally agreed to move his family to Yangzhou under the persuasion of Chen Heng's letter.

This matter is also interesting to say, two years ago, the old Chen family decided to save some money and open another shop for Chen Huaijin.It's just that at that time, everyone didn't think about what kind of business the second uncle would do.

Just in time for this period of corvée to end, rumors spread from the Yangzhou government office that they were going to move out the tea shops outside the city.

Chen Heng told Chen Huaijin the news, and the latter immediately wanted to sell the shop.

But the second uncle wants to live in Yangzhou, and the second aunt can't take care of the two children in Shanxi Village alone. Naturally, their second wife will come to Yangzhou for reunion.

Grandma Zhou has brought up two sons all her life, and she wants to go out to Chen Huaijin's family, so how can she be willing to part with it.

She inadvertently mentioned this distress to her eldest daughter-in-law.As a result, Mrs. Gu said on the spot: I miss Heng'er too, mother, why don't we go to Yangzhou together.

It turned out that with the increase in income over the years, Chen Heng had already moved his mind to bring his family to Yangzhou, but he was still a little unsure about the balance between scripts and reading.

Now with the publication of "Shu Shan Biography", the business of the newspaper store is on the right track again, and this idea is becoming more and more uncontrollable to him.

In the letter to Mrs. Gu, she also expressed her longing for her family over and over again.

Mrs. Gu took out the letter sent by Chen Heng from the house, and invited Shuangxi and Jixiang to read the meaning of her eldest brother to Mrs. Zhou.

"My son is away, and I miss my parents and relatives all day long. Although the family is far away, I can still meet in my dream late at night."

Shuangxi was already eight years old, and when she read this sentence, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

Mrs. Zhou raised her hand and couldn't help wiping away her tears. Chen Heng was thinking about his family, don't they think about Heng'er?

Thinking about the five years, the eldest grandson was studying in Yangzhou alone, and he only came back once a year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he came and went in a hurry.

Zhou's desire to go to Yangzhou became more and more intense.

The two headed women thought this idea was quite feasible.It's just that Zhou and Chen Yushan have been to Taixing County all their lives, and she knows very well that her wife will definitely not agree.

This matter has to rely on the grandson of their family.Zhou made up his mind and instructed Chen Heng to write a letter to his grandfather.

At the beginning, it was really not smooth.

How can Chen Yushan be willing to part with the old house and fertile land at home, and said stubbornly: "I want to go with you, I won't go anyway, you just leave me here alone."

His father is almost 60 years old now, how could Chen Qi dare to answer this sentence.

In the end, it was Mrs. Zhou who took hold of his wife, "Chen Yushan, you can plant the land for at most two years, and you will not be able to continue working hard. You have to think clearly, when the time comes, it will be those fields or your children and grandchildren that will support you in the old age."

When Chen Gaishan heard these words, he was also silent.

One cannot refuse to accept old age.

After hesitating again and again, Chen Yushan finally nodded in agreement.

When Chen Heng heard the news, he laughed happily in the academy for several days.Even when they saw Mei Shengjia, they smiled and nodded in greeting.

Xue Biao, Qian Dayou and the others were naturally happy for Chen Heng. They helped Chen Heng find news about buying and selling houses from the newspapers, and they went out with each other to check the house when classes were over every day.

They finally selected a private house in the east of the city, which is a two-story private house with a courtyard.Because it is close to the noisy city gate, the original landlord's asking price is not high, only 120 taels for the house and furniture.

Chen Heng has seen it twice with his own eyes, and he likes the layout of this house very much.Immediately, 20 taels were paid in advance from the newspaper shop as a deposit, and the sales documents were initialed.

Just wait for Chen Qi to come to Yangzhou today, and take the 200 taels he saved at home to make up the shortfall.

During the noon break, Qian Dayou saw Chen Heng pacing anxiously in the room, and couldn't help but comfort him with a smile.

"Uncle should have arrived. Isn't there someone to pick him up? Brother Heng, please rest assured."

"Brother Hu is here to pick you up. He is calm and reliable in his work." Xue Biao pulled Chen Heng to sit beside him and sat down. "Brother Heng, wait patiently for half a day, and you will be able to see Uncle."

Chen Heng slightly nodded, it's not that Chen Qi has never been to Yangzhou to see himself in the past.

Only this time, Chen Heng couldn't restrain his excitement when he thought of his family reunion in Yangzhou in the future.

Jiang Yuanbai can empathize with him the most. The families of Xue Biao and Qian Dayou are all in Yangzhou. If you miss your family, you can go back and visit at any time.But Jiang Yuanbai's home is also far away.

"Let's think about which restaurant to invite uncle to eat at night?" He raised a topic, "Dr. Heng's family is coming to Yangzhou. We students, we can't just say we don't have it."

Chen Heng just wanted to refuse, but Xue Biao nodded in agreement, "Let's go to Yangji Restaurant, and I can let my uncle read the newspaper shop, and it will also make him feel more at ease."

"Very good." Qian Dayou bowed his head and thought, "We have to order a plate of lion's head with crab powder. Their family is famous for this dish. Three-spice bamboo shoots and chicken and soup dumplings are also a must, and I will give uncle a couple of taels of wine. Brother, what kind of fish do you want to eat?"

Interrupting them back and forth, Chen Heng's mind also turned to other places.

While they were discussing, Chen Qi was also confused at the moment, and followed the Hu brothers to Yangji Restaurant.

Opposite him sat the two brothers Hu Yuan and Hu Xiang. They were entrusted by Chen Heng to guard the gate of the city early in the morning.

As soon as Chen Qi walked through the city gate, the two of them recognized Chen Qi through Xue Biao's portrait.The two parties exchanged Chen Heng's information with each other, and the Hu brothers dragged Chen Qi to the restaurant for dinner.

As soon as everyone sat down, the second brother Hu Xiang took over the task of ordering food, while the eldest brother chatted with Chen Qi.

"Uncle, don't be too polite. I have known Brother Chen for a long time, and we love brothers. Today he is studying in the academy and wanted to ask for leave.

I don't think it's necessary to affect Brother Heng's studies, so I decided to stop it on my own.Uncle just treats us two brothers as his own juniors. "

Chen Qi couldn't handle the enthusiastic attitude of the two of them at once, so he nodded slightly, showing the formality of a farmer in his attitude.

But Hu Yuan didn't dare to underestimate him, who said that his son is now the cash cow of the library.

After dinner, Hu Yuan followed Xiao Er again, and sent Chen Qi to the upper room he opened, and asked him to take a rest in the room.

The three of them would not go to the landlord together until after Chen Heng finished class.

Chen Qi didn't refuse either, and was sent into the room in a daze.Waiting like this until evening, when he saw his son appearing in front of him with a group of classmates, he finally felt at ease, knowing that the Hu family brothers really did not lie to him.

"father!"

"Heng'er."

As soon as the two father and son met, they couldn't help hugging each other. Chen Qi looked at the son in his arms left and right, and said comfortingly: "Grow taller, grow taller."

"Uncle, we are classmates of Brother Heng. I am Xue Biao."

"You tell me to be successful, uncle."

After Xin Suzhao and Jiang Yuanbai finished their introductions, Chen Qicai nodded to them with a smile, "They are all good boys, Heng'er, please take care of them on weekdays."

This group of students waved their hands again and again, saying no.

After chatting for a while, everyone immediately set off for Chen Hengxiangzhong's house.

When Chen Qi saw this two-story courtyard surrounded by blue tiles and white walls, he couldn't believe it. He held his son's hand and asked in surprise, "Heng'er, do we really want to buy such a house?"

"Father, think about it, grandpa and grandma need a house, you and mother, and second uncle and aunt, two older sisters, two younger brothers." Chen Heng broke his fingers, "If it weren't for Erjin's yard, it would be too much. Expensive, I can't afford so much money for a while, in fact, it's more appropriate to buy a secondary hospital."

Erjin's yards are mostly good in Yangzhou, and the price is not a little bit high.

"That's amazing." Chen Qi shook his head, feeling quite emotional in his heart, he never thought that he would live in Yangzhou City one day.

The landlord's surname is Huang, and he is a 50-year-old man of duty.His son works as a waiter in Hu Ji's library, and Hu Yuan brought him and Chen Heng together on this line.

This house can be sold at such a low price, and it is indispensable for Hu Yuan to secretly work hard.

"If there is no problem, then we will write the paperwork and hand it over to the government office tomorrow."

The landlord smiled and urged, their family has moved to another house in the west of the city.The expanded Gongyuan, together with the Confucius Temple, is located there, which is considered to be an excellent location in the future.

Since the son liked it, it was his son's money that was spent.No matter how painful Chen Qi was, he still made up the last 100 taels on the spot.

The old Chen family is good at this. Whoever pays for the affairs of the family has the final say.

Seeing that the 100 taels disappeared, Chen Qi, who was in pain, quickly turned his attention to all parts of the house, thinking about how to make drastic changes when he moved in.

The landlord greeted Hu Yuan, but ignored the other idlers.After packing up the last bit of things, he got up and left, leaving the house to its new owner.

It was the first time for Jiang Yuanbai and the others to see someone buying a house. Seeing that there were no outsiders, they immediately walked around the house excitedly.

"Brother Heng, wait until the next time you take a shower, and we'll help you clean it together." Jiang Yuanbai poked his head out from the window of the attic, waving his hand on the tip of his nose, obviously bumped into some dust.

"Okay!" Chen Heng nodded with a smile. The more he looked at the house he bought with his own hands, the more he liked it. This will be his new home from now on.

Xue Biao pointed to the courtyard and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I'll go home to get some seeds, Brother Heng, you can build a pergola here, and within a few years, they will be able to cover the pergola."

"Then when it's summer night, we have to bring some food and come to Brother Heng's house as guests." Qian Dayou nodded repeatedly, and said, "Brother Heng, I'll bring you some tables and chairs later."

Xin Suzhao saw that everyone expressed, hesitated for a long time, and then said to Chen Heng: "Brother Heng, how about I give you a filly? She has a gentle temper and is very easy to ride."

Chen Heng was dumbfounded immediately, quickly waved his hands, and said with a wry smile: "No, no. Brother Su Zhao, you have to see if I can afford it."

Xin Suzhao had no choice but to give up.

"Brother Chen, while there are many good things going on today, brother will tell you some good news." Hu Yuan came to Chen Heng's side and said with a smile, "I have found the carpentry shop you asked me to find, brother."

Chen Heng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed to thank him, "Brother Hu is really troublesome."

"What's the trouble with this? I didn't buy it for you." Hu Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently, "But I negotiated a low rent for you. You can take your uncle to have a look. If you don't like it, big brother I'll find you again."

　Ah, I thought about it for a long time last night, but I missed a sentence of "my son is outside". I always feel that something is missing, and I have been very anxious.

　　When I woke up this morning, my mind was calm.It naturally appeared in the mind, which is also very magical.

　　By the way, the book friend group: 670332809 is this, if there is any update or change news, I will directly say it in the group.

　　By the way, there is a chapter about Baoqin's easter eggs, brothers, remember to read it.
