Chapter 81: Going to the City for Shopping and Changing Household Registration
After dawn, Lin Qingxue got up, had breakfast, and followed Lin Qingming, Lin Qingran and Lin Qingchu to the imperial city.
Standing at the foot of the city gate, looking at the bustling crowds and prosperous streets, an indescribable joy surged in my heart. I had finally ended my escape from famine and had finally returned to a normal and stable life.
As you enter the imperial city, what catches your eye are the busy streets with numerous people and all kinds of sounds intertwined together, creating a lively scene.
The street vendors were hawking their wares, the air was filled with aroma, and it made my mouth water. All of this made me feel extremely familiar, as if I had returned to a familiar scene in life.
The four brothers and sisters found a place to store the carriage, and then walked to the county government office to change the household registration of everyone in the village. Because someone had to stay to sort the silver, Lin Qingxue gave five taels of silver to Lin Qingchu, and then took her eldest brother and third brother to do other things. They agreed to come back at noon to pick up Lin Qingchu for lunch.
After coming out of the county government office, the three brothers and sisters asked their way to a shop selling blue bricks and tiles, where Lin Qingming asked about the prices.
After chatting for a few minutes, I felt that the price was a bit high, but considering that it was in the imperial city, I understood it.
It just so happened that there were earth bricks for sale here, so Lin Qingxue ordered the bricks directly from this store. With so many families in the village needing to build houses, the amount of earth bricks needed was also huge.
After paying the deposit and agreeing to deliver the blue bricks and tiles that Lin Qingxue and the others wanted to Linjia Village in the southern suburbs the next day, the three siblings left with the receipt.
Now that the house construction was completed, they naturally had to go shopping. Now that their lives had stabilized, they had to compensate their sisters-in-law and children at home, and buy some good things for everyone.
She especially went to see Liu Er's wife. Although she was not a member of the Lin family, they had developed some feelings for each other over the years. Besides, she was called "auntie". She couldn't just not show any appreciation, right?
So, Lin Qingxue, who had money and someone to carry things for her, felt a surge of shopping desire, her shopaholic nature was aroused, and she kept buying things all the way.
When I saw the beautiful hairbands and flowers, I thought of my two sweet daughters and bought them.
When I saw snacks like candied haws and sugar figurines, I thought of my nephews and two daughters at home and bought some for them.
Passing by a jewelry store, I saw a beautiful silver hairpin. Thinking of my three sisters-in-law at home, as well as Aunt Lin and Mrs. Lin, I bought it.
Passing by a cloth shop, Lin Qingxue saw some beautiful patterned cloth and bought several colors according to the number of people in her family.
Anyway, Lin Qingxue was only responsible for shopping, while Lin Qingming and Lin Qingran were responsible for carrying things. In less than an hour, the two brothers carried a lot of things in big and small bags.
When they came out, they forgot to bring the basket, so they had to carry it themselves.
Seeing that it was almost time and they were not hungry, Lin Qingxue found a place to eat, asked Lin Qingming to go to the county government office to ask Lin Qingchu to come for dinner, and then she started ordering food.
Thinking that her three brothers were all big eaters, Lin Qingxue ordered six dishes and three pounds of rice. Before the dishes arrived, Lin Qingchu and Lin Qingming came back.
"Cousin, how's things going? Are you still going in the afternoon?" Seeing them coming, Lin Qingxue quickly poured them a cup of tea and asked in a low voice.
"No need to go. We can just take the note and pick up the new household registration documents in seven days. Qingxue, have you finished shopping?"
Lin Qingchu shook his head and handed back the five taels of silver that Lin Qingxue had given him in the morning. Originally, this silver was intended for doing things, but since he couldn't give it out today, he naturally had to return it to Lin Qingxue.
"After dinner, go buy some chicks, ducks, and piglets, and then you can go home," Lin Qingxue said without hesitation. She took the silver and put it into her purse, then added, "The bricks and tiles I ordered will be delivered tomorrow."
Hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Lin Qingchu's eyes flashed with envy. His family also wanted to raise one! Unfortunately, it was impossible to raise one in a short time.
"Okay, I see you guys have quite a few things. Let Qingran go shopping with you. Qingming and I will go get the carriage and take the things to the carriage!"
Lin Qingchu said seriously. In fact, he just didn't want to go with them to pick up the things. He knew that if his two brothers didn't go with them, this cousin would be more restrained in buying things. If they went with them, she would definitely buy things endlessly and want to buy everything she saw.
"Okay!" Lin Qingxue nodded indifferently. She had almost bought everything anyway, so it didn't matter whether she went or not.
Soon, the dishes were served and the four brothers and sisters began to concentrate on eating.
After dinner, Lin Qingxue paid the money, Lin Qingchu and Lin Qingming took their things to get the carriage, while Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingran went to buy poultry.
The streets are lined with vendors selling all kinds of things, whether they are food or daily necessities.
Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingran walked through the crowded crowd and came to a vendor selling poultry. They bought five pairs of chicks and ducklings, and two pairs of piglets.
Fortunately, the seller gave her a cage to put it in, otherwise Lin Qingxue would really have a headache about how to take it back.
After reuniting with their two brothers, the four siblings went straight back to Linjia Village in the southern suburbs. It was an hour later when they arrived back at Linjia Village.
After working hard for most of the day, yesterday's three acres became at least eight acres. The entire village, regardless of gender, age or status, as long as they could walk, was clearing weeds and picking up stones, and everyone worked very efficiently.
Seeing Lin Qingxue and the others coming back, the Lin family looked up and let Li Yanniang and Liu Jiali go, not allowing them to continue working.
Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, I bought these things for the family. Please take care of them and share them with the children later."
Lin Qingxue looked at the two sisters-in-law who were walking towards her with a calm face and a very calm tone. She was not afraid at all that her sisters-in-law would say that she was wasting money by buying so many things.
"Okay, Qingxue, thank you for your hard work. You bought so many things," Li Yanniang said with a smile. She was not stupid. Although she bought a lot of things, they were all things she needed at the moment. She didn't buy anything blindly.
Liu Jiali nodded and said, "Yes, Qingxue, you are very thoughtful. We need to quickly take care of these chicks, ducklings, and piglets."
As they talked, they began to organize the things that Lin Qingxue had bought. Lin Qingxue, together with the three brothers Lin Qingran, Lin Qingming and Lin Qingchu, moved the cages containing the poultry to the side of the donkey cart and asked a few younger ones to be responsible for feeding them.
After placing the poultry, Lin Qingxue went to see the villagers who were working. Although everyone was tired, their faces were filled with anticipation for their future life.
Once the foundation for the house is cleared, everyone can prepare to build the house. With the efforts of so many people, they will definitely be able to complete the house before the New Year.
After the Chinese New Year, we can start clearing land and preparing for spring planting. After the crops are planted, each household can open up a piece of land to grow some vegetables, and life will gradually get better.
