Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 79

At noon, Bai Shao's family sold out the Liangpi and iron plate tofu early, and then went to Hou's iron shop.

Hou Changping was sitting in front of the blacksmith shop drinking tea and chatting with Hou Changyuan. When he saw Bai Chuanbai, he stood up with a smile and said loudly, "Brother Bai, I found two for you in the house. Would you like to go and have a look?" ?”

"Found it?" Bai Chuanbai was taken aback. He originally thought it would take a few days to find it, but he didn't expect it to be so soon...

"Yes, I found it, but you can watch it two days later if you want." Hou Changping is a fine person, keenly aware of Bai Chuanbai's emotions, and said with a smile.

"No need, Uncle Hou, we'll go see it today." Bai Shao accepted the conversation with a smile.

Just kidding, the place of the Bai family is almost equivalent to the dragon's pond and tiger's den to the Bai Laosan family.

Especially last night when it came out, it strengthened the mother's heart to move away.

"That's fine..." Hou Changping glanced at Bai Chuanbai, saw that he had returned to normal and did not refute Bai Shao's words, so he nodded along and said, "Come on, I'll take you there to have a look."

Passing the specially left food to Hou Changyuan, Bai Laosan's family followed Hou Changping, and went to Izumo Town to check the two houses and shops that were rented out by others.

The first one is a little to the east of the market, with a slightly narrow facade in front and a private house in the back, which costs 45 taels of silver a year.

The second one is located very close to the center of the market. The facade is about half larger than the one just now. Behind it is a two-entry house with about six or seven rooms, which is relatively spacious. It needs more than 70 yuan a year. two.

According to the comparison, it is obvious that the second house is more cost-effective.

But both Wu and Bai Chuanbai thought the first house was more suitable.

Cheapness is of course the first reason, and the second reason is that there are not so many people in the family and there is no need for six or seven rooms.

Although Bai Shao now has more than 160 taels of silver in his hand, considering the current income of Bai Laosan's family, more than 70 taels of silver a year is still too expensive.

They only earn six or seven taels of silver a month, and their net income is only three or four taels, and it is only more than 40 taels a year. Renting the 45 taels, counting the grain harvested, may be enough for the family to chew.If I rent the 70-odd taels, I’m afraid I can’t even afford the rent.

But Bai Shao was determined to rent more than 70 taels.

In her words, "We only earn six or seven taels of silver every month now, but when we open a store in the future, we will not earn six or seven taels of silver. No matter how bad we are, we will not earn 70 taels of silver. After a year, we will Go to Shilibu and build a simple small house, and you can survive, right?"

When Bai Chuanbai thought about it, it was really like this. The more than 100 taels that the family now owns are all windfalls. If they followed the original idea of ​​the couple farming the land honestly, they might not be able to earn this money for a lifetime.

That being the case, then rest assured to rent boldly!
After finalizing the house with Hou Changping to rent more than 70 taels, Hou Changping found the owner, negotiated with the owner, and lowered the price to 70 taels, and then went to the government office and passed Minglu very neatly. After paying a year's rent, the matter of renting a house is considered settled.

Because they were thinking about the land where they planted rice seedlings at home, Bai Laosan's family rejected Hou Changping's warm invitation, only gave him a big red seal, and returned to Shilipu Village.

Along the way, the five of them had a good discussion, because the second courtyard is usually taken care of by the owner, and you can live in it with a mattress, so Bai Shao wanted to move tonight.

Bai Chuanbai was somewhat reluctant, he wanted to wait until the rice planting was over before moving, but the minority obeyed the majority, the family discussed for a while, and finally decided to move tonight.

Fortunately, Dad Chun and Dad Chun's brother-in-law worked very quickly. After a whole day's work, together with Bai Chuanbai and Wu's half-day's busy work, they actually planted more than two acres of land.

After paying Da Chun Dae and Da Chun Dae's brother-in-law the wages, Bai Shao's family began to sort out the things that were to be taken away.

At the very beginning, Bai Chuanbai wanted to talk to Mr. Bai and Mrs. Liu first, but was persuaded by Bai Shao.

Bai Shao said, "Father, grandma definitely doesn't want us to move away. If you go and tell them, they disagree with life and death, and we will be in trouble. Could it be that the 70 taels of silver will be paid for nothing? So Dad, if you want tonight To move away, we still have to pack our things first, and when the things are almost packed, the mule cart will come, and seeing that the situation is unstoppable, my master will definitely agree to let us go."

In doing so, it is actually a bit of a pre-emptive act.

But if this is not the case, it would be difficult for them to move smoothly.

So Bai Chuanbai reluctantly agreed, and quickly sorted things with Wu Shi.

When Bai Shao's family was about to pack up most of the things, Mr. Bai and Mrs. Liu finally found out what was going on in Bai's family.

"What's the matter, you need to clean the room?" Mrs. Liu asked casually as she stood at the door of the main room.

Because he hadn't seen Yan Shu for a long time, and suffered from lovesickness, the haggard Bai Kou narrowed his eyes, "Grandma, third uncle seems to be moving!"

"What?" Mrs. Liu was shocked, "You want to move this third thing?"

The last time Bai Chuanbai came to mention the matter of moving, she didn't hear it, but she always thought in her heart that it was impossible for Bai Laosan's family to save enough tens of taels of silver to rent a house, so she didn't take it seriously.

Now that Bai Laosan's family is about to move suddenly, she is shocked and angry in her heart.

"This unfilial bastard just wanted to leave me behind like this. He grew up in vain. Now that he has money, he can go outside to enjoy himself and leave his mother at home to die of poverty and starvation. Don't worry about it, I will give birth Such a son, if he knew about this kind of thing, I would have strangled him to death when he was born, so I would not raise such a white-eyed wolf." Liu yelled in the yard at the top of his voice.

In the room on the west side, Bai Chuanbai's hands froze when he was packing the quilt into the bundle.

"Grandma has four sons in total. How can I put it like this? It's like father has one son." Bai Wei muttered beside him.

Bai Chuanbai lowered his eyelashes dejectedly, and did not speak, but the action of loading things was a little faster.

When Bai and Lao San's things were almost packed, they asked Bai Chuanbai to go out and call for a mule cart to load the things. He also wanted to take this opportunity to go to the main room and talk to old man Bai about moving tonight.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Bai stood at the door of the main room, standing shoulder to shoulder with Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu was still arguing there, but Old Master Bai didn't stop her. He just put his hands behind his back and looked at Bai Chuanbai quietly, "Sir, do you really want to leave?"

"Father, it was agreed at the beginning..." Bai Chuanbai suddenly felt a little guilty for no reason, and he said in a somewhat muffled voice, "We are tired from running back and forth every day to do business, so we just want to set up a shop there, and Dad will go to town later. If you want to eat, come there."

"What's the name of the shop, is it up?" Old Man Bai asked with narrowed eyes sadly.

"Not yet." Bai Chuanbai shook his head, "I will live in the house first, and the shop will be tidied up later."

"Let's call it Manchuntang." Old Master Bai pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "I'll go congratulate you when the shop opens later."

"Okay...Okay." Bai Chuanbai nodded, turned around and left the Bai family with some difficulty.

Bai Shao stood at the door of the west side house, watching the scene coldly, did not speak, just hugged the things they wanted to take away with Bai Wei, and piled them at the door of Bai's house, waiting for the mule cart to arrive, Then put it on a mule cart and transport it to the house in Izumo Town.

Of course, one trip is not enough, at least two trips are needed.

On the first trip, Wu shi and Bai Chuanbai followed the car, and when they reached the house in Izumo Town, Wu shi stayed behind to dry and spread the bedding brought over.

Bai Chuanbai came back with the mule cart for the second ride.

The Bai Shao brothers and sisters are very diligent. When Bai Chuanbai came back, they had already emptied out all the things that needed to be taken away and left them at the gate of Bai's house. They just waited for Bai Chuanbai to pack the things and then brought the children with them Come on, leave this disgusting Bai family.

During this period, Mrs. Liu has been standing at the door of the main room to scold Bai Laosan, scolding him as a wolf-hearted dog and calling him not a thing.

But after Bai Chuanqiong walked over to persuade Liu Shi for a while, Liu Shi stopped talking, which made Bai Shao's heart ring loudly.

For Mr. Liu, not speaking is more terrifying than speaking.

When she talks, she loses her temper and swears at others. When she is not talking, she is holding back her energy and making big moves. And the most important thing is, next to her is Bai Chuanqiong, who is full of bad things. Together, it can be described as amazingly destructive.

Bai Shao was afraid that Bai Chuanqiong and Liu Shi would hold back something bad, so she put down her things, approached the main room and asked, "Grandma, why don't you swear? Are you tired?"

"Get out of here, little bastard, what are you talking about, I'm not calling it a curse, I'm calling you a reprimand!" Mrs. Liu gave Bai Shao a vicious look, "Aren't you going to move, aren't you going to leave Bai's house? What is my grandma doing!"

"Grandma, does this mean that my surname will not be Bai after moving?" Bai Shao was amused by Liu's strange brain circuit, "Then grandma said what should my surname be."

"The surname is Wu, and the surname is Wu after Wu Laolai. You are not children of the Bai family anymore. You are wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, just like your father." Mrs. Liu cursed at Bai Shao.

"So grandma wants us to be named Wu in the future." Bai Shao narrowed his eyes, "It's not impossible, as long as my parents agree, I don't mind being called Wu Shao."

"Look, it's such a wolf-hearted thing. Before I left, I was thinking of changing my surname to Wu. Third son, third son, if you teach such a girl, if I let you go, won't my son be in the future?" Is he also surnamed Wu? That’s not acceptable, that’s my Liu Xianxiang’s son, I was born in October, I will definitely not let him be surnamed Wu, and I must not let Wu Lai’s family take advantage of it.” Liu stared at Bai. Shao suddenly muttered to himself.
