Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 178 Buying a Yard

Liu Man'er really didn't understand the etiquette of these Lao Shizi, and most importantly, she didn't plan to get along with those relatives in the family, so she didn't think about it.

In the countryside, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, relatives and friends should visit each other and give gifts like moon cakes.Last year, Liu Man'er was busy with work, and Fang had already arranged these things. This year, Fang's health is not good, so she has to arrange these things.

"Okay then, let's go back. We'll see these lanterns later." Liu Man'er followed Fang's direction, "We'll come back during the Lantern Festival. The lanterns will be even more beautiful then."

"En." When Fang heard that Liu Man'er agreed with her to go back, she also showed a smile on her face, thinking about how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even went out to buy flour and other things by herself.

She planned to go home early and make mooncakes by herself, and Liu Man'er didn't stop her, as long as she was happy.

But before that, Liu Man'er hired a broker and planned to buy a yard in this county, because now the house she lives in is rented, and the rent is only three months, and it is about to expire. If they buy a yard, they can buy a yard at any time. It is convenient for Ye Feng and others to live in the county seat.

Now that Liu Man'er has gained a foothold in this county, she naturally knows these brokers, and has heard of which brokers have a good reputation and are honest.

Coincidentally, Qiao Yuliang, the broker who worked with him before, and his uncle Zhou Hongyi also happened to be a broker in this county, so Liu Man'er entrusted him with the matter of buying a house. Seeing his face, Liu Man'er did indeed have a square face, and he looked like a loyal person .

At any rate, he was considered a fellow countryman, so he probably wouldn't cheat her. Within a few days, he found out that there were three yards for sale in this county, so he specially brought Liu Man'er to pick them out.

There are three courtyards, one is in the west of the city, the other is near the college where Ye Feng is studying, and the other is near Liu Man'er's shop.

The courtyard in the west of the city is not considered for the time being, Liu Man'er doesn't know whether to choose near the academy or near the shop, after looking at both courtyards, Liu Man'er still prefers to be near the academy, mainly because it is convenient for Ye Feng to study.

As for the business, it is secondary, not to mention, the house in Liu Man'er's shop is only rented, and after three years, it is up to the shopkeeper whether he would like to rent it to him or not.

Of course, you still have to look at it. If the place is good and the family doesn't like the house, that's fine too.So after choosing a suitable day, Liu Man'er took Fang Shi to see. The two houses are three-entry, there is no problem, and they are still stylish. There is a screen wall in front and an inverted room, which is quite good.

After thinking about it, Liu Man'er chose the one near the academy. After all, this can be regarded as a school district room. Not only is Ye Feng studying close to home, but it will also be convenient for Liu Fusheng to be admitted to the academy.

What's more, there is a pear tree in the courtyard of this family near the academy, which is now bearing fruit. This pear tree is very happy for Liu Man'er. The owner said that if Liu Man'er wants to buy his yard, he will not pick the pear. Give it to Liu Man'er together.

Liu Man'er was very happy to hear that, but she didn't immediately make a decision to buy it, but said that she liked it very much, but she had to listen to her family for discussion.

After returning home, Liu Man'er asked Fang's thoughts, and Fang also liked the yard very much.She followed the broker and inquired about the family's personality, why they wanted to sell the house, and other questions, and the broker answered them one by one.

It turned out that this family was also considered a scholarly family, and their son was working in the county town, and they were planning to sell the house and go to the county town to change to a bigger yard.

Liu Man'er heard what the broker said, discussed with Fang's, and finally made a decision to buy the yard.

The owner of the yard offered 120 taels. Liu Man'er knew that others needed it urgently, so she asked the broker again. This was indeed the real price, so she didn't make any counter-offer. It just made the owner 12 taels less, and paid [-] taels of silver. buy it.

After buying this yard, Liu Man'er was very happy, and Fang Shi was also very happy, so she was not in a hurry to leave, but asked Yunniang to accompany her to the temple in the county town to ask the master to count it a good day, and invited Guanshi Wu to wait for some friends Gather for dinner, set off firecrackers, invite the Kitchen God and the God of Wealth, and move to a new house.

Originally, Fang was anxious to go home, but when she came to the new house, she was satisfied with everything. She planned to wait for Ye Feng and others to go back together after the holiday, and asked Yun Niang to come to the new house to cook. More fireworks.

If so, she felt that the breath of the house had not yet come alive, so she simply asked people to move things into the new house first, and made moon cakes, potstickers, and pastries in the new house.

Yun Niang was also helping her, and she kept doing it for several days until the whole yard was filled with the aroma of the food before she gave up.

If they were in the countryside and moved to a new house, they would send some pancakes to acquaintances, but this is a county town, Fang and Yunniang made several bamboo sticks, but they didn't know where to send them.

In the afternoon, she took Yunniang with her basket and eagerly wanted to give it to the neighbors around, but she found that the neighbors in this area were all big houses, and the courtyard door was locked. Feeling embarrassed to knock on the door, he backed away.

In the evening, Liu Man'er came home with a few girls to eat, but found that there was no fire in the house. Fang just took out these pancakes and said, "Man'er, mother and Yunniang have made a lot of pancakes these days, so Let's eat these pancakes tonight, or we won't be able to finish them."

"It's okay, but mother, didn't you say that you made these pancakes to give to neighbors?" Liu Man'er asked puzzled.

She likes to eat the crispy pumpkin balls, potato cakes, and fried meatballs, but she is not used to eating them as a meal.

"The neighbors in this neighborhood are not very familiar with it, so I thought I'd better forget about it, and then give it away when everyone is familiar with it." Fang said, she was embarrassed to tell Liu Man'er that she was too embarrassed to knock on other people's doors with a basket.

The most important thing is that such a wealthy family does not lack her pancakes. Standing in front of the vermilion gate, Fang felt a little timid.

"So that's how it is. In this way, you give them to me. I'll put them in the store tomorrow. If you buy more, you can give this cake as a gift. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to enjoy our joy?"

As soon as Liu Man'er said this, Fang's eyes lit up, and she said straightly: "Yes, Man'er, what you said is true, and it makes sense. Then I will cook now. Your shop is so good. Let's make some cakes."

Seeing Fang's hastily getting up and leaving, Liu Man'er smiled helplessly, and asked the maid to eat some pancakes to pad her stomach, and then asked Piaohong and Feihua to give these pancakes to Liu Yunsheng, so it was right to eat.

Anyway, Liu Yunsheng has never disliked eating. With these cakes, if he told him that Yunniang made them, it would be too late for him to be happy, so why would he dislike them.

After Liu Man'er ate a piece of pancake by herself, she was waiting for dinner. Now that she was double, she just wanted to eat something spicy, and she couldn't just eat pancakes.

However, she is only three months pregnant, and her belly is not obvious, but she still likes to touch her belly every day, to feel the beating of life in her belly, even though sometimes she doesn't feel it what is the difference.

She transferred all her thoughts about Ye Yuan to the child in her stomach.

The past two months have been very busy, and Liu Man'er has no time to think about it. Recently, when she was free, Liu Man'er remembered that Ye Yuan hadn't written a letter for a long time, and she didn't know how he was doing outside. I heard that he was going to guard the border again. , Liu Man'er was quite worried.

Last year, she was able to visit him, but this year she was pregnant with a child, so she definitely couldn't go there.

This year's Chinese New Year is destined to not be able to reunite again, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will soon be. Unfortunately, they can only miss their relatives on the moon.

But that's fine, as long as he is safe, she is not lonely anyway, with such children by her side to accompany her.

The two little girls, Ye He and Cao'er, have grown a lot in the past two years. They are wearing plain and clean clothes and tied in a bun. They have fair faces, big eyes, are docile and well-behaved, and are very cute.

Ye Feng has grown a lot taller, and now it is close to her ears. The boy has not yet put on a crown, but only half of his hair is raised up with a headband, and he is wearing a long gauze. His immature eyebrows and eyes are very light, and his eyes are shining. Xingchen is really a handsome young man.

Liu Fusheng has also grown a lot taller, but he has not lost his childish appearance, his bright black eyes are full of aura, making him pleasing to look at.

As for Ye Tianchen, he is now her favorite. His eyes are like black gemstones, and his long eyelashes are like water plants. Especially when he looks at you, you are like looking in a mirror in a lake. Mirror Inside is your shadow, and that pink face makes Liu Man'er want to reach out and pinch it from time to time.

Ye Tianchen now takes Shuai Shuai to play or study with him every day, because he has grown up a bit and is more flexible. After changing to such a big new house, he often makes troubles with Shuai Shuai, climbing trees, rolling, all day long There is no clean place on the body.

Every night when Liu Man'er asked him to recite the book, sometimes he couldn't recite it. Liu Man'er made a gesture to hit him, but he didn't beg for mercy. Come down, although Liu Man'er will stick to her heart every time, but Fang's side will always come to persuade her.

The current Fang Keshi is his exemption token, but because of illness, Fang Keshi still looks ten years older even though she has been recuperating for a few months because of her illness. She was just a woman in her forties, but now she looked like an old man in her sixties, and there were a few strands of white hair on her forehead, which made Liu Man'er feel distressed.

"It's time to eat, why are you in a daze." While Liu Man'er was silently thinking about the changes in her family, Fang reminded her from the side.

Liu Man'er was startled, and then came back to her senses, glanced at the people sitting, and then raised her chopsticks: "Come, eat."

After dinner, Liu Man'er went to rest early today. It's rare that he didn't test the homework of several children. Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng have always been hardworking children, but they don't think there is anything wrong, but Ye Tianchen feels very uncomfortable.

In the evening, when he washed up and went to bed, he stood beside the bed and recited Liu Man'er's homework.

Seeing his action, Liu Man'er felt a little strange, so she opened her eyes and asked, "You didn't ask about your homework this year, why did you take the initiative to memorize it?"

"It's all my fault, mother, are you angry? So don't ask me." Ye Tianchen just rolled onto the bed.

"No." Liu Man'er shook her head, stroking his little head, thinking of what she said last night, she couldn't help but laugh again.

Ye Tianchen couldn't recite his homework last night. At night, Liu Man'er wanted to beat him, and he cried and asked Fang to be a rescuer. Liu Man'er said: "If you still behave like this, I won't care about you." 'I didn't expect him to really take it seriously.

"If you are obedient, mother will not ignore you." Liu Man'er gently hugged the child into her arms, and said: "Every day, mother does not assign much homework for you, so it will not delay your play, but every day you I forgot this every time, isn't my mother angry?"

"I'm sorry." Ye Tianchen admitted his mistake to Liu Man'er, and the soft and soft voice reminded her: "Sometimes I see a handsome and mischievous person, and I want to chase him, but after chasing him for a day, I forget about it."

"Then you mean it's Shuai Shuai's fault?" Liu Man'er raised her eyebrows and looked at him. Is this kid bullying Shuai Shuai and can't speak?
"No, it's my fault." Ye Tianchen knew that he would be beaten if he continued to make up, so he had to admit his mistake.

"Then you said you made a mistake, how should mother punish you?" Liu Man'er said with a smile, but she was a little frightened in Ye Tianchen's eyes, and involuntarily moved away from Liu Man'er, he didn't want to be spanked flowering.

"Can I recite one more poem tomorrow?" Ye Tianchen raised his head and said timidly.

"What do you think?" Liu Man'er said suspiciously.

"Or I'll make up for it?" The child Ye Tianchen was quite spiritual, and said: "Otherwise, I'd better go to sleep with grandma, she's tired from making pancakes all day, so I'll go and press her."

Seeing that he really got up from the bed, Liu Man'er stretched out her legs and tripped him on the quilt, then patted him lightly, hugged him, and said, "Forget it, I forgive you today."

Liu Man'er would not really be willing to beat him, not to mention, the child is quite obedient, a little mischievous, there is nothing wrong with it, she does not kill the child's nature, but only guides it.
