Chapter 39
While repairing the pavement over there, the disposal of the old house is also arranged here. After Dahu sold the fish, he found Tang Zhengfu's house one night and discussed with the village chief. Sell ​​the old house.

The land was public in the village back then. Three years after it was allotted to the Hu family to build a house, the Hu family spent ten taels of silver to buy it and exchanged the private property title. The cost of the house itself is about ten taels of silver, a total of 21 taels of silver, counting as an integer of 20 taels, to see if anyone needs it.

Tang Zhengfu said, this is also a happy event, anyway, your house is also considered a good feng shui, with a prosperous population and a lot of money, someone should want it.So he did it himself, wrote a notice in a fluent manner and handed it to Da Hu, telling him to just post it at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Da Hu was plastering mud on the wall of the ancestral hall, and was about to post the notice, but Tang Zhangzhang, who had left his relatives and returned late, saw him rightly, and said, "Brother Hu, what are you posting there so late?" Da Hu then Telling the truth, Tang Zhangcheng was very surprised, and said: "Your family is going to move out? How can it happen? I plan to work hard with you for a year next year!"

Da Hu said: "The shop over there has been rented and is being repaired. If you need me for anything in the future, just go to me. Fortunately, we are not too far from Fucheng."

Tang Zhangcheng sighed: "It's better than living next door!" Then he said: "However, just now you said that you want to sell the old house?"

Da Hu replied yes, Tang Zhangcheng said: "Brother Hu, you don't need to post it anymore, I bought your house. Seeing that my Dabao is getting older, I am planning to give him a separate room to sleep in. We live in your house as a family of three. It’s still spacious, and my parents are getting old, and I’m suffering from seeing them at the elder’s side. I plan to take them over and live in my current two thatched cottages, which are close and easy to take care of. Your backyard I can also use the chicken coop and coop, and I plan to raise dozens of chickens next year, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Use a lantern to illuminate the words on it, and say: "20 taels of silver..." Think about it: "Brother Hu, I don't have that much money at the moment, so I'll pay you half first, do you think it's feasible? The rest you delay me One year, and I will give it together at this time next year."

Da Hu said: "As long as you can really use it after you buy it, I will be relieved. As for the silver, you can give it to me when it is convenient for you. We have been neighbors for so many years, so I still don't trust you?"

With such a few words, the place of the old house has been settled. Father Hu heard that it was bought by Zhang Cheng's family, so he can let go of his worries. He believes that Zhang Zhang's family will take good care of his hard work if they live here.

Mrs. Zhang used to come to the farm in early September and go back in early October. This year, she came to the farm a month earlier for the Hu family's several acres of experimental fields. It was also a happy and busy scene, but Mrs. Zhang was a little bit less interested, and only in mid-September did she have the idea of ​​returning to Fucheng.

Mrs. Zhang specially called Yang Feier for this matter and asked her: "I plan to take Fuzhen back in two days. I wonder if Mrs. Hu would like to go back to Fucheng Zhang's house with us?"

I don't want Yang Feier to agree, and said: "To tell you the truth, my family rented a small shop on Shuyuan Street in Fucheng. For more than a month, my shop opened, and I will go back to help my family with business, so I thought, if my wife is satisfied with my cooking skills during this time, I will stay in the kitchen for another month, and take care of my wife on weekdays. I have to teach the cooks of your favorite dishes and dim sum, so that I can resign and go home with confidence."

It was breakfast time, and Zhang Fuzhen was also listening, just eating the egg tart with his eyes downcast.

Mrs. Zhang said in surprise: "Really? Your family doesn't farm anymore?"

Yang Fei'er said: "Yes, a few days ago, my father asked Mrs. Qin to return the rented land."

These matters have always been handled by Mrs. Qin, so Mrs. Zhang didn't know about it.

Mrs. Zhang snorted, nodded, and said, "I don't know what kind of business your family plans to do?"

Yang Feier said: "I don't know how to do anything else, I just plan to sell some desserts."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "That's what you are good at, and your business will definitely prosper."

Yang Feier smiled and thanked, and asked, "I wonder when Madam is going to leave?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "It's only an hour's journey. I didn't know that you planned to wait for you. In that case, it depends on when your family will move. How about we set off together?"

Mrs. Zhang was so interested in inviting her, Yang Feier didn't disappoint, so she agreed right away.

When I got home at night, I told Father Hu and the others that, Father Hu was flattered, and immediately went back to the bedroom and took out a Chinese almanac, put it on the table and squinted his presbyopic eyes to look through it for a while, wondering: " The wing rooms on both sides of the courtyard have also been built, plus the old wing rooms, I am afraid it will take two or three days to clean up, and there are small tasks in the yard... It's just a good day for traveling and housewarming or the next day. The eighteenth of the month, or the twenty-eighth of September.

Shen said: "September [-] is Xiu'er's birthday!" Originally, she was planning to have a good time, but after so many years, every year is in the busy season of farming, and this year's busy season was finally moved one month earlier.

Yang Feier said: "It doesn't matter what the birthday is, but that's all."

Father Hu thought for a while and said, "Since Mrs. Zhang said she would come with us, we can't make people wait too long. We will all go there tomorrow and clean it up as soon as possible, and move the beds and pots and stoves over there first." , other things can be moved slowly.”

The matter was settled in this way. In the early morning of the second day, everyone except Yang Feier went to Shuyuan Street. There were many people and strength. First, we sorted all kinds of sundries and sent the useful ones to the business area designated by Yang Feier. , Clear away the useless ones, first clear out the so-called living area, so that you can put all kinds of household items in tomorrow.

On the morning of September [-]th, three ox carts swayed on the official road leading to Fucheng in the autumn morning light. Two of them were loaded with various furniture items, and the one in the back was filled with the Hu family. There were three carriages driving ahead, slowing down and walking with the ox carts.

Xiao Hei Xiao Hua did not accompany her, but was still taken back by Uncle Tang's house, and was going to be raised by his parents, so as to be a companion for the second elder.

When passing by their own field, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Wang saw the old holly tree standing green and straight in the field from a distance, and watching the dilapidated shacks built by the fish collapsed on the side. The 30 years of changes in the Hu family, how much sweat, laughter and tears have been condensed, how many times I have witnessed the hope of spring and the comfort of autumn, and now only memories remain.Looking at it, I couldn't help crying.

Da Hu and Shen Shi were also filled with emotion.

Yang Feier felt uncomfortable when he saw a carload of people so hurt, and comforted him: "Grandpa and grandma, don't be sad, remember that back then, you took my father all the way here to flee famine, and you also left your hometown. After so many years, didn't you Have you taken root here? Believe me, our family of eight will be the same as you were back then, and we will settle down in Fucheng. In the future, the eldest brother and Xiaoguang Xiaochang will study and take the exam for the number one scholar, and they will go to Kyoto When the time comes, I will invite you to live in the capital when the time comes. Is it possible that grandparents will also be sad and reluctant to part with Academy Street? It’s just that people go to high places and water flows to low places!”

A carload of people was relieved by Yang Feier. Thinking about it, one tree was moved to death, and people were moved to live. I hope that changing a place of life can bring a better future for this family.Gradually, my heart became less sad, and I chatted about the arrangement of various arrangements in Shuyuan Street one after another, and before I knew it, I arrived at the South City Gate.

Qingluan got off the carriage in front, came to Yang Feier and said, "Miss Hu, our eldest lady said, please go over and talk."

Yang Feier agreed, jumped out of the bullock cart and went with Qingluan to see Mrs. Zhang.

When I got into Mrs. Zhang's carriage, seeing Zhang Fuzhen sitting on one side, she sat on the other side. Mrs. Zhang said: "I will pass by my house in a while, and I will get off first. Let Fuzhen take a few people to help you move your family." , I’d better put the house in order soon. You know my body, I’ll let Fuzhen go for me when your family is moving.” Qingluan, who was sitting on the shaft of the car, lifted the curtain and smiled He handed Yang Feier a red purse, Yang Feier didn't know why, so he reached out to take it.

Mrs. Zhang said: "This is to congratulate your family on your housewarming, and to express your heart." Only then did Yang Feier realize that it was a red envelope, and quickly declined it. Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "You are welcome, just accept it. If you If you don’t charge it, it’s too little.”

Yang Fei'er was not good at pushing and pulling, so he had to accept it, saying: "The shop in Shuyuan Street hasn't been cleared yet, so it's a bit dirty. Mr. Zhang is a noble person, so I dare not ask him to go to that low place."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "You little girl, at such a young age, why are you more pedantic than me? If I say I can go, I can go, as long as you don't dislike him for making trouble."

Yang Feier said with a smile: "Having a distinguished guest like Mr. Zhang come here, it will only make my small shop flourish, how can you say you don't like it."

Yang Feier and Mrs. Zhang walked all the way to Changning Street, and watched Mrs. Zhang go in. Madam Zhang arranged for two servants and Zhang An to follow Zhang Fuzhen. Madam Shen handed over the red purse to Shen Shi, and said: "Mother, this is a favor from Madam Zhang, you keep it." Shen Shi opened it and couldn't help but exclaimed, and showed it to everyone. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be A brand-new silver ingot worth twelve taels, how dare you accept it, Wang said: "Let Mr. Zhang take it back when he goes back." The whole family said it was, and it was better to return it.

This side also asked the handlebars to copy to the front of several cars to lead the way, so a carriage followed three ox carts and continued on. After walking for another three or four miles, they arrived at the shop on Shuyuan Street.

Da Hu and Father Hu jumped out of the car to unlock the door first, and removed the door panel. They saw that the wall separating the backyard had been demolished, and the original [-]-square-meter pavement became a spacious passage leading to the backyard.

The six back yards at the back are divided into two parts. The three yards on the west and the three wing rooms are the business area, and the three rooms on the east are divided into the living area as a whole, separated by a courtyard wall in the middle. A wooden door, usually locked.

The two courtyards on the far left and the right were covered with houses along the courtyard walls, and a small courtyard of [-] square meters was left on each side. If you don't live here in the future, you can still take the slate here.The inner and outer walls are painted white with white lime. Although they are all civil structures, they look neat and delicate.

One ox cart backs up into the aisle first, unloads the objects on it, and then drives it out, letting another ox cart back up to unload the goods, after unloading the goods, pay the fare for the three ox carts, and the three handlebars drive themselves The ox cart went to pick up the work and left.
