On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 103 Arrangement

Xiao Xiao suspected that she heard wrongly: "Can such a good thing happen?"

Could it be that she thought too much, or that her heart was too dark, and she always suspected that this house was a haunted house or a house with disputes?

Mrs. Liu gave her an angry look: "There are still many good people in this world, what are you thinking about? People have specially given up their houses for us to live in, and he has borrowed money to live in other people's homes."

Mrs. Wu also looked happy: "Fortunately, we met the uncle. The houses on both sides of the ancestral hall are not spacious, and it is not easy for so many of us to live there."

She could only take out twenty taels of silver, and she was afraid that her elder brother and sister-in-law would dislike her, so she rarely became diligent: "I will boil hot water first, scrub the kitchen, and then boil a few pots of hot water for bathing."

Xiao Xiao saw that her brothers and sisters were cleaning tables and chairs, so she also went in to help.

There were only three wooden beds with stools in the room. Fortunately, it was not very cold yet. The landlord pointed to a straw shed and asked them to move a few bundles of straw to spread on the ground, so they could make do with it first. Make the floor.

I also bought some rice and noodles when I arrived, and Li Zheng also asked his wife to bring some radishes, as well as some green vegetables, long beans and loofah.

Everyone had dinner and took a shower. That night, most of the Xiao family slept soundly.

Only Boss Xiao and Xiao Xiao were afraid that this was a dark shop, or no, a dark village, so they slept very vigilantly.

But they didn't know that Old Man Xu had gone to talk to Li Zheng for a while, and then went for a walk around the village, also busy without stopping.

The next day, after the Xiao family had breakfast, they began to discuss buying a house.

Old man Xiao held the cigarette pole and was reluctant to smoke: "This house is spacious and there is no air leakage."

"It's just too expensive." Mrs. Xiao sighed: "We can only afford twenty-three taels of silver."

Wu pushed her man.

Xiao Laoer could only say dullly: "We only have twenty-four taels of silver."

Mrs. Wu next to her rolled her eyes and was almost mad at him. She whispered to him countless times last night and asked him to just say that they only had twenty taels of silver in their hands, but this idiot still confessed honestly.

Boss Xiao also had a righteous look on his face: "You can't have no money in your hands, so just give me twenty taels each, and I'll pay for the rest."

He didn't ask for all the money in their hands. It wasn't because he was filial, but because the family was short of a lot of things. If he had to collect all the money, wouldn't he have to give up all the money for buying things?

He didn't want to be taken advantage of.

The reason why Lao Er's family is allowed to live here is because they are new to the village and are afraid that there are gangsters in the village.

If he didn't live together, his wife and three daughters would be as beautiful as flowers, so he wouldn't feel safe going out.

Moreover, it has been confirmed that Mrs. Liu is pregnant before. She is not young yet and needs to be taken care of well. She must be counting on her own mother to help.

Although Mrs. Wu is a bit stupid and lazy, and her cooking skills are not as good as those of her daughter-in-law, she is better than my mother. If she stays, she will leave the kitchen to her.

The kitchen was filled with smoke, and he couldn't bear to let Mrs. Liu work in the kitchen with a full belly.

It didn't matter if his daughters cooked occasionally, but when the weather got cold, he didn't want them to just hang around the kitchen.

He would rather let his daughters do needlework in their free time, or go hunting with him in the mountains.

That's right, even when he came to the countryside, he didn't plan to open up wasteland and farm the land. He heard that there were many wild animals in the nearby mountains, so he planned to go hunting in the mountains.

He had already thought about it. If he encountered a wild boar, he would run away. If he encountered a hare or a pheasant, he would chase him.

Anyway, this is a business without capital.

Although they are allowed to open up wasteland, it does not say how much wasteland they must be allowed to open up.

When the time comes, let Lao Er and his son go to open up wasteland and carve out three or four acres of land to grow fruits and vegetables.

Although he has never done business, he has seen a lot and knows that growing melons and fruits is more cost-effective than farming.

So he said: "Father and mother will not go to work anymore. I am going to go into the mountains to see what is going on in the mountains."

"The second brother will go to open up wasteland with Da Lang first. When Jiang Yu comes back, I will ask him to help Da Lang find a job in the city."

"Erlang will recover from his injuries first, and we will send him and Sanlang to a private school next spring."

"Big girl Lin, girl and the others can do some needlework and help with the washing and brushing." "My mother is old and Mrs. Liu is pregnant. From now on, the kitchen at home will be handed over to her younger siblings."

Then he looked at Mrs. Wu and drew a pie for her: "Practice your cooking skills more, and I will find a way to open a small restaurant in the future, and you will be the chef."

As expected, Mrs. Wu was fooled, and she agreed happily: "Okay, I will definitely cook with my heart."

Even if he didn't open a restaurant and asked him to send his two sons to private schools, Wu would be willing to work more.

It's not like she doesn't know what's good or bad. She knows that her family can survive till now, thanks to her eldest brother.

If you don't have enough money, you'll have to use your energy to get it together.

Hey, who told her to give birth to sons?

Xiao Xiao admired his father in his heart, who went beyond his grandfather to arrange the whole family clearly.

Now Xiao Xiao also admitted that the cheap dad was still eloquent, and he made his grandparents happy by telling them to stop working and rest more.

What made her most happy was that he didn't let them go to open up wasteland and do farm work.

Xiao Xiao admitted that she was lazy and really didn't want to do farm work.

As for the embroidery work, why not kill her?

She would rather go hunting.

So after Boss Xiao finished speaking, she smiled flatteringly at him: "Dad, father and son are going into battle. I also want to go hunting with you."

Xiao Lian followed immediately: "Me too!"

Even Xiao Xiu said: "If we want to go hunting, we must buy bows and arrows first."

The bows and arrows they originally used were also lost in the river, and it still hurts to think about it now.

Xiao Xiao waved his hand: "Don't worry, I can do the bows and arrows this time."

The bows and arrows she uses for competition have carbon fiber or aluminum alloy arrow bodies, tungsten alloy arrowheads, and natural feathers for their tail feathers.

There are also accessory equipment such as sights, which are well made.

So much so that after she got her current bow and arrow, she felt very uncomfortable using it.

Fortunately, during those two months, she repeatedly observed the structure of the bow and arrow, carefully explored it, and now she had a firm idea.

Xiao Lian looked suspicious: "Can you do it?"

Xiao Xiao raised her chin: "I can impress you."

Xiao Sanlang and Lin Long both cheered and said in unison: "Third sister can definitely do it."

Xiao Xiao waved his hand with satisfaction: "Don't worry, you have your share."

Then he laughed at Mr. Xiao: "When will Dad go to the city? I want to buy some horns, tendons and the like with Dad."

"We'll go when Mr. Xu comes." Mr. Xiao knew that she had a lot of money in his private house, so he was willing to let her go with him. He could also get some delicious food.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Mr. Xu came in through the gate at this time. Seeing that the whole family was there, he smiled and asked, "Are you satisfied with the house?"

Boss Xiao stood up and said, "We can go to the house now."

It is also troublesome to apply for household registration now. You have to get a certificate from Li Zheng, and the buyer and seller have to go to the Yamen to pay the transfer tax before they can go through the transfer procedures.
