Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

  Chapter 97 News of the house

  The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the exact day when Xu Shide got married.

  Wake up early in the morning, the courtyard of Xu's family is extremely lively, there is an endless stream of helpers and congratulators coming in and out.

   From Dongjiangyan to Qingling Balidi, the road is not too far.

  At eight o'clock in the morning, four horse-mounted sledges were stopped at the gate of Xu's house, which were borrowed after discussing with the brigade in advance.

  Groom officer Xu Shide, uncle Zhou Anping, aunt Li Shi, younger brother Xu Shixiang, cousin Zhou Wanxing, younger sister Xu Shiqin, and cousin Zhou Lirong.

  Accompanied by matchmakers Jianshe Niang, Chun Mingniang, and a few young men from the village, they drove the horse sledge all the way to Qingling.

  When the relatives went out, the Xu family hurriedly set up a banquet for noon, and congratulatory guests also came to the door one after another.

  Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong's natal family also arrived at this time, and it was naturally a joy to meet their relatives.

  Even Zhou Changhe, who lives in Donggang, came here with his son Zhou Qingguo and generous gifts.

   "Second aunt, second uncle, congratulations."

   Zhou Changhe met Xu Chenghou and his wife, and came forward to congratulate him with a smile.

   "Yo, Changhe, how do you know Xin'er?" The arrival of Zhou Changhe and his father surprised Zhou Guilan.

   It is necessary to know that the two families have no real relationship, they are just fellow villagers, and it is not too close to have contacts on weekdays.

  When the eldest brother Xu Shixian got married, Zhou Changhe came, and when Zhou Changhe's father passed away, Xu Chenghou went to offer his condolences.

   Later, when Xu Shian and Xu Shiyan got married, there was no notice.

  The main reason is that the Xu family has too many sons, so it is not good to be notified every time. It is not easy for any family these days, how can they come back to catch up?

   "Well, I heard someone say it a few days ago.

  Second Aunt, you are too alienated. The younger brothers in the family don’t even send me a letter when they get married. "

  Zhou Changhe said with a smile, while beckoning his son to come forward.

   "Second Aunt, this is the Qing Kingdom, do you still recognize it?"

  Zhou Qingguo came forward and saluted wholeheartedly, "Hello, Second Young Master, Second Auntie, I am Qing Guo."

   "Hey, is this the Qing Dynasty who has changed jobs and returned?

   Let the second aunt see that she is stronger than before she went to the army. Look at this appearance, she really has the air of a strong man who defends the country, okay, okay. "

  Zhou Guilan has met Zhou Qingguo a few times, and she still recognizes him. Zhou Guilan is also happy to see the junior so promising.

   "By the way, do you have work arrangements when you come back?"

   "Second Auntie, I have a job arrangement. I am in Donggang Commune, the militia company commander and security assistant." Zhou Qingguo answered honestly.

   "Okay, okay, very good, let's go, let's go inside and chat."

  Xu Chenghou and his wife were very happy. They led Zhou Zhang and his father and son into the house, looking for a place to sit and chat.

  The Xu family has handed over many people over the years, and there are many people who come to congratulate him, and they can't always chat with Zhou Zhang and his father and son.

  Fortunately, Zhou Zhanghe and Zhou Anping are also familiar with each other, and everyone gathered together to chat and laugh very lively.

  Zhou Qingguo is a young man, he has nothing to talk to the older ones, so he goes outside to see where there is help.

   It turned out that Xu Shiyan was walking out with a table under his left arm and a few stools in his right hand.

   "Third Uncle, what are you doing?" Zhou Qingguo hurried forward, took the stool, and asked casually.

  Xu Shiyan turned his head and saw Zhou Qingguo, "Oh, Qingguo is here?

  I moved a few tables to the neighbor’s house in the West Courtyard. The house is too small to hold banquets, so I borrowed the space from Jin Hai’s house in the West Courtyard. "

  The Xu family has a total of three rooms. Even if the east and west rooms are all composed of north and south kangs, there will not be too many tables.

  So I negotiated with the neighbor's house in advance, and borrowed the place of the neighbor's house to hold a banquet.

  The person who went out to borrow tables and chairs just now didn’t understand that there were fewer tables at the end of Jin Hai’s house, but more tables at this side. So we have to move tables and benches over there.

   "Oh, that's the case, then I'll be with you."

  Zhou Qingguo followed Xu Shiyan to the neighbor's house to the west.

   "By the way, third uncle, my mother found the house you were looking for for you."

  Walking on the road, Zhou Qingguo suddenly remembered this, and hurriedly told Xu Shiyan.

   "Just to the east of the martyrs' tomb, next to the woods, there are three adobe houses.

  There is quite a large open space next to it, there is a small hill in the back, and there is a large **** to the east. "

   "That family, there used to be an old couple with a daughter, but later the old couple disappeared, and the daughter married an educated youth who came to the countryside.

   The couple have a very good relationship and have three children.

   Isn’t this the resumption of the college entrance examination? The educated youth was admitted to a university in our provincial capital, which happened to be his family.

  So they want to sell the house and go back to the provincial capital with their wife and children. "

   As the two walked, Zhou Qingguo told Xu Shiyan about the house.

  In his previous life, Xu Shiyan lived in Donggang for so many years, so he knew which house it was from as soon as he heard it.

  When Xu Shiyan moved to Donggang in 1987, he lived in the house in front of the martyrs' tomb, not far away.

  I also heard others mention the matter of the house in the back.

   It is said that the woman sold the house and happily returned to the provincial capital with the man, but was rejected by her husband's family.

   Fortunately, the man is not bad, he is good to his wife and children, and the woman is also capable, so he found a temporary worker in the university cafeteria.

  The couple rented a house and lived outside. A few years later, the man graduated and went to work in the hospital, and the woman set up a stall to start a small business.

  The house is indeed as Zhou Qinguo said, the surrounding area is quite large, and there are several more houses to be built in the west.

   "That's good, how much does his family cost?"

  Although the place is big, it is not in the center of the town, it is close to the woods, it is already on the edge, and it is an adobe house, so the price is probably not too high.

   "The asking price is four hundred and five. My mother said that if I talk about one piece, I can get it for about four hundred."

  The price mentioned by Zhou Qingguo was similar to what Xu Shiyan estimated, Xu Shiyan nodded.

   "Okay, you go back and tell my second sister-in-law, let her talk about it for me.

   Years later, I will go there, and if it is ok, I will make a decision directly. "

  More than 400 yuan, it is very cost-effective to buy three rooms with a large open space around it.

   Live in the adobe house for the time being, and then build five large tile-roofed houses on the west side. After a few years, the adobe house will be rebuilt.

   At that time, there will be eight big houses in a row, and the living space will be spacious, and a few goods houses can be left, how good?

  In his previous life, Xu Shixian followed Xue Xiulin back to the city, settled in Donggang Commune, and then built a house in front of the martyr's tomb.

  By the time Xu Shiyan moved in 1987, Donggang had already been converted into a town with a large population, and the homestead was not easy to approve.

   It happened that there was an open space to the west of Xu Shixian's house. Xu Shiyan gave his brother some money to buy the land and build four houses.

   It is precisely because of this incident that I left a word.

  Xue Xiulin later said that Xu Shiyan had taken over his house.

   He also said that Xu Shiyan moved out of the big house because he had a good time with their family, and that Xu Shiyan didn't know how to be grateful.

  This time Xu Shiyan moved away first, bought a piece of land and built a house by himself, and his household registration is not with his parents. I don’t believe they will talk about it in the future?
