An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

After taking a short rest after breakfast, Jing Chunxi went into his grandparents' room. Thinking of the large amount of food and furniture he had in the space, he couldn't help but ask them for advice.

If the warehouse is full and she still has to spend money to buy New Year's goods, she will feel uncomfortable and feel that she has made this trip with the space in vain.

She couldn't just leave nothing behind and take everything back to the capital. What would be the point of her space then? If she didn't find a way to empty out some of the things inside, she would be worried about having no place to put the treasures she wanted to collect when she returned to the capital.

Then there was the issue of their land. She wondered when it would be divided up. What should she plant? Should she start planting seeds now? She wanted to get the two elders' opinions on all of this. Although she had already prepared everything in her space, she couldn't have the final say. What if the family members who had the final say didn't support her? Her efforts would be in vain.

"Changning, come in too."

Jing Yongcheng ordered his youngest son, who lowered his head and continued to struggle with the plate of salted fish. He thought that his children and grandchildren would not be used to eating here, but who knew that not only did everyone like to eat seafood, but they also praised the plate of the least valuable salted fish.

The old couple also thought that salted fish with white porridge was very delicious, so they asked Lin to cook half a pot of porridge every day and fry two plates of salted fish.

"Why don't we let Zhou Wei buy a house in the county first?"

After hearing Jing Chunxi's words that he wanted the fairy aunt again, Jing Yongning made a suggestion.

It is not impossible to rent a house, but I am worried that I cannot prevent the owner from visiting. However, it is different if I buy a house. I can entertain guests in the front yard and lock everything behind the door.

After buying a house, it must be filled with things and guarded by a reliable person. It is normal to go to the county town once every ten days to buy food and daily necessities, and then the things will be slowly brought back.

The original furniture certainly cannot be used in the village, but there is a place to stay in the county house and a room for drinking tea. When meeting Zhou Wei and others, we can't squat like we did in the wild.

"Then let's do this. Let Zhou Wei buy the house first, and then take Sister Xi to the county town someday. The house can't be too small. The front yard should be decorated properly like a well-off family. The backyard must be large. Tell others that you are a business family. The young people have gone to the prefecture, and the old people still live in the village. The house is just a transit point."

Finally, the four of them agreed to wait until the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month to kill the New Year pig before going to the county town.

Naturally, the old lady couldn't go to buy chickens and ducks herself, so Nanny Wang took the old concubine and a groom with her. On the way there, they first went to the grocery store and bought two chicken cages.

Jing Yongcheng and the old lady took their son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren to the homes of Jing Changming and Jing Changchang, who lived nearby.

Why are there so many people going there?

The main reason is that everyone is free and wants to get familiar with the entire village as soon as possible.

Furthermore, if you don’t let your sons, grandsons, and daughters-in-law know where other people live, they will have to choose someone to pass on a message in the future, which is really inconvenient.

Having settled here for a long time, we not only need to move around between the houses, but also get familiar with the villagers as soon as possible.

Jing Changming and Jing Changdu had spent a lot of money since borrowing the thirty taels of silver, but they hadn't complained about their poverty. They'd thought they'd come out yesterday to lend them some money to buy a house, and they'd been thinking of helping them, but they hadn't seen any movement so far, so they needed to find out more.

Tianshuitun and Majiatun were separated by a road less than ten feet wide. Silang had originally intended to find the head of Majiatun to inquire about their residence, but just as he entered the first house in Majiatun, he struck up a conversation with a boy who was sitting at the gate of the yard repairing a fishing net.

Silang stepped forward and said a few words to the man, acknowledging his eldest brother: "Brother, where does the family we resettled yesterday live? Can you help us find the way?"

The boy wasn't very old, no more than eleven or twelve. He looked older than Shilang, but he was still two inches shorter. He blushed a little when he was called "big brother". He hurriedly dropped his work, stood up, rubbed his hands, and said, "Is this the Jing family who were exiled yesterday? I'll take you there. It's not far from our house, but you have to turn a few corners, so I'm afraid you won't be able to find it."

The boy said his name was Haizi and his surname was Ma. He stood up and greeted his family members in the house. Then he heard a woman respond from inside, and Haizi hurriedly led them out.

"Were you also exiled with the Jing family?" Haizi just smiled and didn't salute. He only spoke to Silang along the way. However, seeing their family's neat and new clothes, and thinking about the family that was assigned here yesterday, he felt a little strange.

Shiro: "Yes! Our last name is Jing too."

Dalang helped out from the side: "We are from the same family."

Xiao Hai: ...

After a moment of silence, Haizi said, "That family said they had no money, so they rented the house from my aunt Eleven."

Everyone:…

Haizi added: "My uncle's ship capsized a few years ago, and my parents-in-law died last year, leaving a vacant house.

Aunt Eleven lives next door with her son and daughter. The rent is not expensive, only two taels of silver a year."

Everyone understood. No wonder Jing Changming's family did not borrow money from them. If you want to buy an ordinary house with three or four rooms in the village, you can't do it without twenty or thirty taels. Renting a house solves a big problem.

Jing Yongcheng and the old lady looked at each other, nodded and said nothing.

I think the two brothers Jing Changming and Jing Changdu are quite good at living and have long-term plans.

In fact, if they were willing to lend him money to buy a house, they would not urge him to pay it back.

But these two brothers are tough and they gritted their teeth to support the family. They know very well which is more cost-effective, renting or buying a house.

They never thought of being completely dependent on their clansmen. They would rather live a hard life with their whole family than go to their homes to ask for a few kilograms of rice.

Haizi: "Early in the morning my mother said that Aunt Eleven was trying to sell the donkey, but a butcher came and said it was too skinny and had no meat, so they didn't sell it.

We people living along the coast don't like to eat donkey meat, and we can't afford to sell it at a high price."

No one said anything, and some even thought that their family might have run out of money to eat, otherwise why would they want to sell the donkey to raise money?

As they were talking, they had already turned two corners and passed two houses, arriving at Aunt Eleven's house. As Haizi passed the corner of the last house, he shouted, "Is Aunt Eleven home?"

"here I am!"

A woman's voice answered.

When they walked over and saw the gate, a middle-aged woman had already come out to greet them. Zhuang Shi saw that it was a woman and hurried forward to greet her: "Sister, we were also exiled yesterday and settled in Tianshui Village. Today, my mother-in-law and father-in-law are free, so they brought us here to visit our family."

Jing Yongcheng also bowed and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

Seeing a well-dressed, handsome, and burly man bowing to her, Aunt Eleven was startled and quickly turned aside to give them a strange bow. Then, feeling embarrassed, she walked over and pulled Zhuang closer, saying, "Our two houses are connected! There's only a wall between them. They're currently living in the house where my parents-in-law live. I'll take you there."

As he said that, he took them to the next door. A boy who was also about twelve or thirteen years old and a little girl who was about five or six years old also ran out. The little girl went to hold her mother's hand, and the boy stood next to Haizi and smiled at Sanlang and Silang. Silang hurriedly introduced himself, and the boy also said his name was Ma Xiaofeng and he was Haizi's cousin.

Just a few steps from Aunt Eleven’s house is the gate of the other house side by side.
