Reborn 1960 The little orphan girl has some money

It was already past four o'clock from the time she set off from the county town at two o'clock in the afternoon and returned to the village. An Moxue sent the food she bought back to the educated youth point, and immediately went out to the livestock shed to look for Lao Ma Tou, waiting for Lao Ma Tou to give her. The mules were fed with water and filled with hay, and then they walked toward the empty house together.

One house is on the east side of the village, close to the river, with three mud houses and a square yard; the other house is on the west side, which also has three houses, very close to the Educated Youth Institute. To the west of the house is a large dry field, which is still some distance away from the mountains and forests. Ma Tou is inclined to choose this room. This room can be lived in by replacing the roof and repairing the kang, because this room has been unoccupied for the shortest time, a little more than a year; the last room is at the foot of the back mountain, only 30 meters away from the woods. , it is a two-room stone house with only a frame left, surrounded by courtyard walls on three sides. The outside of the courtyard wall is covered with thorn plums, which grow very densely. Now the fruits are red, and the courtyard walls are all tilted here and there, but later There is a cellar in the garden and a well in the front yard. You can still get water now without having to dig out the well. Uncle Ma said that this place is too close to the forest. Although the stone wall is the strongest, the nearest houses are not. There are only a few scattered houses in this area, which are a few hundred meters away. They are all far away from each other, so it would be difficult for anyone if something happens.

After thinking about it, An Moxue still felt that this room was more suitable for her.She felt that the biggest danger in her current state was not the forest animals, but people.

There are many shelters in the woods, and the most dangerous places are the safest and have the greatest chance of escape. It is uncertain who will kill whom when entering the woods. Besides, she has a watch, so she will not delay her work.

So she decided on this house and asked Uncle Ma how to repair it. Old Ma said that if she went to the village chief to complete the formalities, he would help her find someone to repair it. If there were more people, it could be repaired in two days, and the kang would be burned in two days. It's done, and you can move in and have people living there in about three days.

With the house settled, An Moxue returned to the educated youth center happily. Today it was her turn to cook. She counted everyone's lunch boxes, steamed them all in the pot, and made a cucumber and a pickled beans. .

The meal is ready and the educated youths have returned from work.

At the dinner table, An Moxue distributed the dishes equally to everyone, and then took out her own spicy tofu. Everyone shared some, "I bought this today, share some with everyone," but did not share it with Wang Zhaodi.

Wang Zhaodi saw that everyone was divided and she was left alone, so she said angrily: "An Moxue, what do you mean? You are trying to cause division."

An Moxue: "Wang Zhaodi, you think too highly of yourself. I have already said that you can't touch any of my things. If you don't want to take advantage of me, it's not enough. Everything counts."

An Moxue took her lunch box into the house of the female educated youth, placed the food on the edge of the kang, and took out the crispy white meat and ate it by herself. The more she ate, the more delicious it became. The meat was so fragrant now, even if it was crispy. The white meat was made from fatty meat, but it was so delicious that I saved half of it for tomorrow morning.

At seven o'clock in the evening, every household should have finished dinner. An Moxue found two packs of cigarettes she bought before going to the countryside from the space, put them in her trouser pocket, and went to the village chief's house from the educated youth spot.

Walking to the door: "Uncle Guo, are you at home?"

An Moxue heard a woman say: "Come in! Here." Feeling that what she was holding was not appropriate, she took half a kilogram of brown sugar from the space and put it in another pocket, then entered the house.

"Uncle Guo, my aunt is at home. Uncle, I have something to ask you for help." As he said this, he put the things on the kang.

The village chief glanced at her and said, "What's the matter?"

"I want to find a house and move out of the educated youth area and live by myself."

"Don't you live well? Why did you move out? Is someone bullying you among educated youths?"

"No, Uncle Guo, I told you not to laugh at me. I don't practice martial arts and work every day. I just eat more. I ate too much at the educated youth point. Sorry, I didn't have enough to eat, so I wanted to find something to eat. Move out of a house and have your own food and accommodation.”

"Whether you want to rent a house or buy one, there are several houses, but they all need to be repaired and they are in remote areas."

"Uncle Guo, what do you think is appropriate?"

"It's okay. Whether you rent or buy, you have to spend your own money to repair it. There is a house in the west not far from the Educated Youth Center, a house in the east near the river, and a house at the foot of the north mountain. Currently, these three empty houses are single-family houses. .”

"Uncle, I think that house at the foot of Beishan is far away from the educated youth point. No, Uncle Guo, I'm not, that -" An Moxue said eagerly, but the more she said, the more wrong she said, as if she said something she shouldn't have said. If so, I didn't know what to do, and my face turned red.

"Uncle Guo, I get along well with the people in the Educated Youth Institute." Finally, he said this feeble sentence.Then he changed the topic quickly, "Uncle Guo, how much does that house at the foot of Beishan cost?"

"That house is too remote, too close to the mountain."

"Uncle Guo, don't worry. When I was little, my parents went on a mission, so I lived alone. Later, they sacrificed me and I still lived alone. I know Kung Fu, and most people can't do anything to me." Aunt Guo listened. I feel very uncomfortable, this child is really having a hard time.

"Do you know which house that house is?

"Uncle Guo, I know there is a well in the courtyard of the stone house."

"Oh, it seems you came to me after searching for it."

"Well, Uncle Guo, I took a look this afternoon."

"That house is more expensive because it is made of stone. It also has a well, but it is so remote that it can be kept until now. But to be habitable, it needs major repairs, which cost about 50 yuan. But I can't decide by myself. Tomorrow, a few cadres in the village will I'll give you a confirmation letter after the total is completed. Just go to the village brigade headquarters to pay the money tomorrow morning before starting work."

"Thank you, Uncle Guo. I'm going back, Auntie, I'm leaving." An Moxue got up and walked out.

"Take the things back." Aunt Guo chased after her with the things. An Moxue had already left the house and trotted away.

An Moxue ran out for a while, and when she saw that no one was chasing her, she turned around and went to Lao Ma Tou's house, where the old couple were enjoying the cool air in the yard.

"Uncle Ma, Aunt Ma, I'm coming!"

Old Ma Tou said disgustedly: "I heard it, shout whatever you want, just come in."

An Moxue took a small stool and sat next to Aunt Ma, not forgetting to complain to her: "Auntie, Uncle Ma is cruel to me."

Aunt Ma said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him, he is a bad old man."

"Uncle Ma, I just went to the village chief's house to talk about the house. The village chief said that he would set a specific amount for selling the house tomorrow morning and let me hand over the transfer."

"Did the village chief say how much it would cost?"

"Said fifty."

"Not much, how do you plan to fix it?"

"I just want to build the courtyard wall to a height of [-] meters, and put a layer of glass ballast on top. The kang in the house should be bigger and have more fires to keep warm in the winter. I would also like to build a toilet and a bathing place."

"Okay, the cellar can be used after some repairs. It will be convenient for storing vegetables in winter. You also have to buy two jars for water and pickled vegetables. If you want to pickle pickled vegetables, you have to buy a small jar. How do you want to repair the roof? Tiles The straw ones are almost enough for my house, but I have to buy tiles.”

"Uncle Ma, can you buy tiles? It's just a favor. I'll pay for them. I think the scrapyard in the county has glass shards. Is there any scrapyard in our town?"

"No need to ask for favors. Small green tiles like ours are easy to get. Unlike the big red tiles, you have to go to the brick and tile factory and have a approval slip before you can buy them. I can just go to town to buy some glass tiles for you the day after tomorrow. Work. I'll find six people who can do all the work in two days. Their wages are [-] cents a day and they will take care of the food."

"Uncle Ma, I don't care how much food is appropriate a day? Two meals a day or three meals a day."

"Two meals, three cents is enough."

"Uncle Ma, four cents is enough. As long as you work hard and don't miss this cent, you can do it."

"Okay. I will help you prepare the adobe bricks, yellow mud, sand, etc. you need, and you can just take the money."

"Uncle Ma, why are you so good?"

"Go away, forget about what you just complained to me about! You have to take a day off tomorrow and keep an eye on it. You won't need it the day after tomorrow. Just take a look at it when you get off work."

"Do you want to stay here chatting with your aunt or go back, I'll go find someone. Then we can start working tomorrow morning."

An Moxue waved her hand, "You go, I won't go, I'll stay a little longer."
