Spring comes to the desperate place

Upon learning that they had fled from the northwest, the manager of the pawnshop seemed to be thinking about something. Then he searched through the notebook he carried with him and finally found three houses that met the Song family's requirements.

One of the houses was not far from here. The Song family followed the manager of the pawnbroker and walked forward. The place became more and more secluded, and finally stopped at the gate of a yard in front of a big well.

The steward took out the key and said, "Although there is no well inside, there is a big well outside the door, so it is very convenient to fetch water. The yard is also big enough, and it is in the town, so it is very convenient to travel. Come on, everyone, be careful at the threshold."

After everyone walked in, they found that it was indeed very large, but it looked desolate and not very popular.

The manager explained helplessly: "The owner of this house was implicated and sent to the army a few years ago, and this house has been idle ever since. But don't worry, the man was sent to the army, not beheaded."

Although the manager said so, the Song family still felt uncomfortable and finally decided to visit the next family.

"The next one is the house in the village. It's big enough and has a well, but it's quite far from the town."

Gu Fengyue asked the steward to lead the way. This time the carriage took almost half an hour to arrive, but it was indeed bigger than the one in the town. There was a well in the corner of the yard. Song Dazhuang was the first to walk over and take a look. It was indeed a deep well, and he expressed his satisfaction.

The others looked around the yard inside and out. Apart from being far from the town, there were no other problems. Besides, their family had a carriage, so it was very convenient to go back and forth.

The Song family was very satisfied with the house. It was a two-story house with a backyard behind it, which was much more spacious than the front yard. Song Dazhuang planned to build a stable so that the horses would have a place to stay. If conditions permitted, he also wanted to buy a cow in a few years so that he could relieve some of the pressure.

After looking at the front and back yards, the Song family was most satisfied with this house. The manager asked them if they wanted to see the last one. Everyone thought about it and decided to go to the last one since they were already here.

The last one was not far from here. They went around the back of the village and arrived at the back door of the house. The courtyard here was not as big as the previous one, but there was also a well. Song Chunlin compared the two houses and found that the previous one was better.

The family gathered together to discuss it and unanimously agreed that the previous room was better and met their requirements in all aspects.

However, the Song family was unsure about the price, so they asked the manager of the pawnshop how much the two houses cost respectively.

The pawnbroker's manager quoted a price. The previous one was ninety-five taels, and this one was cheaper, at sixty-eight taels.

"Although the previous one is more expensive, the owner said that if you buy the house, you can also get the wasteland at the foot of the mountain. Although it is mountain land, it is still land. Plant some trees that are not picky about the land. When they grow into timber in the future, it will also be an income. After conversion, it is still very cheap."

The Song family was silent. Although what the pawnbroker manager said was right and it was indeed a good deal, they only had one hundred taels left. If they spent it all at once, what would the family eat for the next few days?

However, Song Chunlin didn't think so. He gently pulled Song Dazhuang's sleeve. Song Dazhuang looked down and saw his son, and suddenly reacted. Look at their memory. There is still room. What's there to be afraid of? Buy it!

So, under the witness of Gu Fengyue, both parties returned to the pawnshop, signed the deed, and paid the deposit. For Gu Fengyue's sake, the manager of the pawnshop even saved him the handling fee. However, it was already late, and they could only go to the government office tomorrow to exchange for a new deed. After getting the land deed, they would pay the remaining payment.

The Song family was very happy after buying the house they wanted. Gu Fengyue even took them to the largest restaurant in Beijing for dinner in the evening. During the meal, Song Dazhuang happily drank several glasses of wine and was glared at several times by Song Qinshi.

Grandpa Song wanted to drink too, but he didn't dare to after being warned by Grandma Song. However, Song Chunsheng and Song Chunlin ate until they were full.

The meal he had at the Marquis' Mansion at noon was already very delicious, but the table at the restaurant was not bad either. Song Chunlin discovered that ancient humans also had a high pursuit of food. There were several dishes on the table that he didn't recognize at all, and they all tasted very good.

The Song family, who had not had a feast for a long time, were very satisfied with the two meals and ate them all, finally leaving with their hands on their stomachs.

Before the city gates closed, Gu Fengyue sent someone to send them back to the villa. As soon as they returned to their own territory, Song Chunlin began to have fun. After closing the door, he distributed sour plum soup to everyone. They had just eaten too much and too greasy food, so some sour and sweet sour plum soup was perfect.

The Song family closed the door and hid in the house, each drinking a cup of sour plum soup happily.

After Song Dazhuang drank the last sip of sour plum soup, he felt that this was the most beautiful thing in life.

After digesting the food, Song Dazhuang asked Song Chunlin to take out all the silver in the space and count it. No matter how he counted it, it was a little more than eighty-four taels. It was better not to count the remaining copper coins.

It is true that a penny can make a hero fall. Grandpa Song and Grandma Song could not help but sigh. After paying the remaining house price, they would only have nine taels of silver left. Moving to a new house requires money for everything, and they didn't know how many things they could buy with these nine taels of silver.

The Song family members were a little worried. They didn't have to worry about food for the time being. There was plenty of food in Song Chunlin's space, but there was no furniture in his space. The house was empty, and every item was silver.

"What should we do? This is all the money we have left. How about buying some cheap ones to make do with? When spring comes, we can plant sweet potatoes at home and sell them for some money."

Song Chunlin looked at everyone's sad faces, sighed, and suddenly dropped a lot of gold and silver jewelry on the table, which scared everyone in the Song family.

The four adults thought they were dreaming. Song Chunsheng pinched his face foolishly. Hiss~ It hurts so much. It’s not a dream, it’s real!

"I, we are not seeing things..." Song Qin was incredulous.

Song Chunlin picked out a few gold bracelets from a pile of jewelry and handed them to Song Qinshi and Song A-mo: "Here, little grandfather, mother, pick one and wear it."

Amour Song looked at the golden table in front of her. She had been married to Grandpa Song for so many years, and had only worn a few silver jewellery on her wedding day. She dared not even think about wearing gold jewellery, not to mention this huge gold bracelet as thick as a chopstick. It felt heavy in her hand. She estimated that it must have at least two taels of gold!

That was two taels of gold! Twenty taels of silver! He had never worn so much silver in his life. Moreover, the gold was really bright, brighter than the ones he saw in the jewelry store. The carvings on it were also extremely delicate, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, auspicious and festive. Song A-mo fell in love with it at first sight.
