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

We went to Fengyutun in the afternoon. I was prepared to walk a few more steps, and I didn’t even dare to bring Qiaoqiao and Xiaotuanzi with me.

Who knew that after walking north along the main road, it was not far and the distance was only a few dozen steps away from Jing Changming's house. The person who was giving directions pointed to a house and said, "That's it."

The house is right next to the main road of the village.

For the same price of thirty taels, Jing Yongqiang got a fairly large house. The layout of this house was similar to that of Jing Yongjian's house, except that each room was slightly smaller and not as spacious. It didn't have those acres of land or the four rooms at the door, but it still had a small yard, which was enough for growing vegetables and raising chickens.

After listening to Jing Changning's introduction, Jing Yongqiang realized that the three families lived so close to each other. He was so happy that his mouth was wide open, and he felt that he had got a great deal by buying this house.

When his grandchildren saw Sanlang and Silang, they were so happy that they were immediately taken away. He said that he was taking them to introduce them to the local area so that they could play together in the future.

Their family also received a notice that they had to go to the village chief's house to sign tomorrow. Jing Changning told him the location of the village chief's house and also told them the direction to his own house. In fact, if they followed the main road and turned a corner at Majiatun, they would find Jing Yongcheng's house not far away. Even if they went to the pier to buy vegetables, they could turn over and make an appointment before leaving together.

When they came back, everyone thought that the two nearby families had chosen better houses, while Jing Yongjian's family, who was the closest to them, was far away.

Hey! The family with the closest bloodline lives far away. What a twist of fate.

Seeing their funny talk, Nanny Wang beside them laughed: "We are still in the same village, and you think it is far away? There are so many officials who went out to serve as officials and still have people living in their hometowns! Some of them never go back in their entire lives.

If you ask me, this is still relatively close. I couldn’t even imagine it before I got here.

You live too close, your upper lip touching your lower lip, do you think it's okay?"

The old aunt also laughed: "When I first left the capital, I couldn't avoid them, but now I want to be closer. I think it's good this way, a little distance is good, so that we don't get too close, and then there will be constant quarrels and disputes, and we won't even be able to be relatives anymore."

Just a few words touched the old lady's heart, and since both of them were people close to her, the old lady also let it go.

In fact, people are like this. When they are far away from their hometown, they want to be more intimate with relatives they can talk to and express more homesickness. However, if they get along for a long time, things will become dull.

Even if they are brothers, they will eventually separate, otherwise they cannot be brothers without any conflicts.

Nanny Wang then told them about their day's haul: people along the coast don't keep many chickens, and those who do tend to keep hens for eggs rather than sell them. So, after being out for most of the day, they only managed to collect six chickens, two of which were older hens, which were expensive.

I bought a lot of duck eggs, but I didn't take any sea ducks home. I heard that almost every household raises sea ducks, so you can just catch them whenever you want to eat them. There's no need to raise them at home and make the place smelly and fishy, ​​and they take up space.

It was the right decision to bring Nanny Wang here. She is like a know-it-all in the village now. She can talk to every woman's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She knows everything and can get back any news she wants after going out.

On the other hand, a maid like Chuntao, although she put down her airs when she came here, was still a little reserved. She couldn't do the kind of thing that would make her humble to try to get friendly with others, let alone gossip about the Dong family or the Li family. She could only run errands for them.

Jing Mingrong was very well-behaved here. When the old lady was at home, she would serve her closely. She would not follow them unless they called her, and she would not come near them when they went out.

She would never be idle even when she was not needed. She would do all the chores around the house with Lin, such as sweeping the floor, cooking, feeding the chickens, etc. She was very flexible and she would sell herself if she said so.

However, her cheerful personality has not changed. Xiaotuanzi and Qiaoqiao are often with her, so she has company.

Nanny Wang also bought a litter of six little rabbits, some black, some white, and some spotted. Little Tuanzi became jumpy again when he saw people, and he squatted there holding Qiaoqiao and refused to move.

The two of them even begged Grandpa Xiaobei to make the cage quickly, which made Grandpa Xiaobei follow them around, so that he finally had something to do.

Little Tuanzi was afraid that her baby would be hungry, so she picked up any vegetable leaves in the kitchen and grabbed two big radishes to feed the rabbit.

Because of this incident, Qiaoqiao was slapped twice by Lin, who scolded her: "You don't know how expensive winter vegetables are. You just ate two radishes in one go."

Qiaoqiao didn't explain or quibble when being scolded, and even felt proud of taking two slaps for Xiaotuanzi. She also assured Xiaotuanzi, "It doesn't hurt at all."

While feeding the little rabbit, the two dumplings recalled the little rabbit that died on the road. They also felt upset and regretful that they didn't know when the little squirrel escaped, and they unconsciously talked about Heizi.

Qiaoqiao: "It would be great if Brother Heizi could come along."

Little Dumpling: "Yeah! Heizi brother is the best. He will definitely go with us to cut grass and feed the rabbits, so he won't get spanked."

Qiaoqiao sat on the bench: I had finally forgotten the pain in my butt, but it felt numb again.

Heizi, who had already moved into a wealthy family's mansion, suddenly felt an itch in his nose and sneezed loudly.

the next day,

Jing Changning was the first to arrive at the village chief's house because he lived relatively close. He also left home early just to be able to say a few more words to the village chief.

The house where the village chief lives is one of the best in the village, but the materials used are slightly inferior to the two houses they bought.

The layout was similar to theirs, with the gate being taller and larger. Entering the gate, there were five large rooms in the front yard. Village Chief Li had long been sitting in the main hall drinking tea and waiting for people, and with him was Village Chief Li Xian.

Jing Changning went out and picked up the food box handed to him by Si. This was the pea yellow that the old lady specially asked Wang Ma and Chuntao to make last night. It was especially suitable for the elderly and children to eat, and it could also be presented as a gift.

I heard that the village chief's eldest grandson had been enrolled in the county school and would take the imperial examination next year. Jing Changning also asked Jing Chunxi to prepare another gift. Jing Chunxi took out a roll of Jingxian rice paper and a Hu brush.

Even the wealthy families in the capital would not let their children who have just started learning to use such good things. They would only use them after their children have passed the imperial examinations.

The village chief's child had attended the county school and must have had some experience with fine calligraphy, so it was a very important gift for them. However, since it was their first visit, a larger gift was appropriate, so Jing Yongning brought everything.
