Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 273 Move to the provincial capital (1)
After buying the shop, the next step is to find a suitable small courtyard. Now that Chen Xuewen has suspended classes, most of the students in the academy have already embarked on a journey back to their hometown, so he has been accompanying Xiao Lin all day long. There are a few bridges, wandering around looking for a suitable house.

Walking around the vicinity of the academy, a few of them inquired and followed the dentist to see no less than a dozen sets of yards.

In the end, Lin Xiaoqiao made a quick decision. In comparison, he chose a small courtyard with two entrances, which was not too big or too small, at the border near the academy.

Looking at the area, it must be enough for their family to live in. Although the price is a bit outrageous, but Lin Xiaoqiao thought about it carefully, and the houses around the academy must be more expensive.

According to her previous life experience, as long as the housing price next to the school is always more expensive than other areas, even more expensive than the city center, but there will still be many people rushing to buy it.

Isn't it because the houses on the land border have more room for appreciation? Therefore, after Lin Xiaoqiao repeatedly confirmed the fact that their current academy would not fall down easily from Chen Xuewen's mouth, she resolutely He took out a bank note, 1000 taels of silver, and bought the nearby yard.

Even if their family doesn't live here in the future, they don't have to worry about the yard being empty, at least it can be rented out.

Lin Xiaoqiao thought about her father's distressed look when he took out the silver, so he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. He reckoned that when he went back, Mrs. Li knew that she bought a small courtyard for 1000 taels of silver. The look must be similar to her father's.

Maybe, she has to be given the title of 'prodigal' again. Lin Xiaoqiao felt a little headache when he imagined his mother-in-law Li's jumping feet.

After buying the yard, Lin Xiaoqiao even hired two wives to clean up the inside and outside of the yard. He even went to the furniture store and bought a few sets of furniture. The bed was changed.

In addition, she also found a well-known embroidery shop, ordered a few quilts there, and waited until the twentieth of the first lunar month to pick up the goods.

Originally, the boss didn't plan to take orders at the end of this year, but Lin Xiaoqiao gave an extra ten taels of silver to settle the matter.

On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, I set off to go home, and it was snowing heavily along the road, so the journey became more difficult. It was not until the 27th that Lin Xiaoqiao and his party arrived at home.

When I went there, I had 2000 taels of silver bills in my pocket, but now there are less than 400 taels left. The 600 taels of silver were exchanged for a few thin pieces of paper.

As soon as Lin Erniu arrived at home, he explained to Mrs. Li that the money they spent this time, when Mrs. Li heard that they bought a small courtyard with 1000 taels of silver, she really told Mrs. Lin As Xiaoqiao imagined, the expression on his face was really not very good-looking.

Although she didn't call her a 'prodigal', the look in her eyes clearly said 'ignorant' and 'prodigal', and the words of blame were really a lot to say.

Not only that, Mrs. Li is a caring child, she is not willing to scold Lin Xiaoqiao, but she is not so polite to Lin Erniu, blame him as an adult for not taking good care of the child.

Lin Erniu has been reprimanded for a long time, and there is nowhere to appeal for grievances. He kept clamoring in his heart: When is it my turn to call the shots in our family!

However, he would only mutter a few words in his heart, and the only thing he could do was to look at the culprit—his own son—with extremely sad eyes. The little girl, Lin Xiaoqiao.

When Lin Xiaoqiao received her father's eyes, she didn't feel any guilt at all, she still smiled heartlessly, but looking at her father's helpless and pitiful little face, she finally gave up. He glanced over.

Those sly little eyes seem to be saying: Dad, it’s just a few words, you can bear it for your daughter first, and when your daughter-in-law sees the value of that set of yards, your words will not be in vain suffered.

After the New Year's Eve, it is the first day of the new year, and the new year is here again. This year, Lin Xiaoqiao is 11 years old, and her sister Lin Xiaoxi is also a 13-year-old girl. This age can be said to be close. age.

And Dalang is a 15-year-old boy after the New Year, and Erlang is only one year younger, and now he is 14 years old.

In the new year, several children of the Lin family are one year older. Counting the ages of their four brothers and sisters, it is doomed that Li Shi will have more things to worry about in the coming year.

Dalang and Erlang need to seek fame and focus on studying, and they can push back the marriage, but Lin Xiaoxi has already reached the age of marriage, so in the past two years, the marriage has to be pushed forward. Set it down.

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was still not the beginning of silence. Li Shi looked at the two girls, who were getting taller and her eyebrows were gradually opening, and said, "My family has a girl who is just growing up" emotion.

Especially Lin Xiaoxi, in the past two years, her stature has grown a lot. Today she is wearing a tight-fitting little jacket with a pink rabbit fur collar and narrow sleeves, and a textured skirt of the same color. Her hair is tied into a wishful bun. There is only a butterfly pearl inserted in the hair.

A plain face without makeup, but it is still pink, with bright eyes and white teeth, just like a slim hibiscus flower in full bloom, nodding and smiling, making people look fresh and elegant, graceful and charming .

And Lin Xiaoqiao next to her was also dressed in the same way, only the bun she wore was different, her long hair was tied up in a bun, with a pair on each side of the bun, made of purple ribbons in the shape of a bow. Silk flowers, this is also a small gadget made by Lin Xiaoqiao himself, and he put it on his head today.

Although her stature is not as tall as that of her sister Lin Xiaoxi's chin, her girlish form has not been revealed, but her complexion is fair and greasy, her eyes are bright and her teeth are beautiful, and her long eyelashes glisten with big bright eyes, which are vivid and charming. Man, like a little butterfly spreading its wings to fly.

The sisters walked hand in hand on the small road in the village, which has attracted the envy and amazement of girls of the same age countless times.

Listening to the endless compliments all the way, Mrs. Li suddenly had the idea that she wanted to hide her two beautiful girls at home and not bring them out to see others.

Because I was going to the old house today, and told Mr. Lin and his wife about their family moving to the provincial capital after the Chinese New Year, so Mrs. Li didn't let Chen Xuewen and her son go into the old house with them to pay their respects. new year.

Looking at the dilapidated thatched huts in front of him, this is the only family left in the whole village, and they haven't gone in to pay New Year's greetings. This is the last family Lin Xiaoqiao doesn't want to go in.
