All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 318 318. Moving to a New House
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Yue Wenxuan returned home.

"I'm back so soon, is the house rented?" The old lady asked when we met.

"It's rented, it's a small courtyard with five principal rooms.

The house belongs to Uncle Wang's cousin's house. There are three west wing rooms in the courtyard, which can be used for storing sundries. There is also a well, which is convenient for getting water. "

The old lady was very happy when she heard that the house was rented by Uncle Wang's relatives, "It's very good, we rent a house to live in, I'm afraid that the landlord will not be easy to deal with, since the landlord is an acquaintance, it will save trouble in the future.

Is the rent expensive? How much does it cost per month? "

"For such a large yard, the monthly rent in the county is usually two hundred or tens of yuan, and the landlord is very generous, as long as two hundred yuan for the first month.

Because the current legal currency is getting worse and worse, the rent cannot be fixed, and it has to be re-priced every month. "

"Two hundred French currency a month, isn't the rent too high?"

The old lady was very surprised, she couldn't imagine that the rent would be so high.

You know, in [-], one legal currency was equivalent to a piece of ocean, and two hundred yuan of legal currency was already a great wealth.

Although the legal currency is becoming less and less valuable, the old lady still finds it difficult to accept the rent of [-] yuan a month.

"How long has it been since you spent money? The current legal currency is no longer as valuable as you think.

Ten days ago, our family just settled down in Sanjia Village. At that time, I still bought rice for eight yuan a catty. Do you know how much it is now?

The worst broken rice costs eight yuan and five pounds!
Do the math, if the 200 yuan of legal currency is used to buy rice, how much can you buy?

Now the world is difficult, prices are high, and the legal currency is still depreciating. The life of ordinary people is really getting harder and harder. "

"If you calculate it like this, it's really not too high, but the speed at which the legal currency depreciates is really scary.

It is not so obvious that we ordinary people have no savings in our hands.

But those well-off families with some savings in their hands are really in bad luck.

In [-], one hundred French coins could buy two big cows, but now we can only pay half a month's rent. How is this possible? "The old lady was very emotional.

"This is something that can't be helped, who made this world chaotic.

I've already contacted the carriage, and I'll be here at dawn tomorrow morning.

Let's pack up the things that need to be packed in advance, bring everything with us tomorrow morning, and then go to live in the county. "

Yue Wenxuan's words made everyone both excited and apprehensive.

Of course, everyone is very happy to be able to live in a county with better conditions and more lively conditions.

But with the experience of fleeing famine in the past few months, everyone worried that going to the county would cost too much.

After going to the county seat, Yue Wenxuan had nowhere to go fishing, so he could only spend the savings in his hand, which made people feel a little uneasy.

Although everyone was worried, Yue Wenxuan was the head of the family now, and since he had made a decision, no one objected.

At dawn the next morning, before the handlebars reached Sanjia Village, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang arrived first.

Yue Wenxuan hurriedly welcomed the old couple into the house.

Aunt Wang put the basket in her hand in the main room, "I knew you were going to live in the city, so I brought you some dried radishes.

It is inconvenient to buy vegetables in the city. When you are in a hurry, you can add something to the basket of dried radishes. "

"This basket of dried radishes is a good thing, whether it is fried or stewed, it is better than fresh radishes.

I am quite good at this one myself, thank you uncle and aunt. "

Yue Wenxuan didn't see anything, and the old couple were very happy to accept it so happily.

It was still early, and Yue Wenxuan's family had just woken up, and they hadn't had breakfast yet, so they just invited the old couple to eat together.

The old couple refused to eat, saying that they had already eaten at home, but Yue Wenxuan dragged them to the dinner table.

The breakfast made by my sister-in-law is very simple. I just boiled a pot of corn porridge. In addition, I heated up the sweet potatoes cooked last night, and made a few steamed buns with Erhe noodles for guests.

The old lady is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's care and prudence.

Yue Wenxuan has plenty of food now, so of course he won't let his family eat sweet potatoes as a staple food.

The sweet potatoes cooked at home are only eaten as snacks for children, not as a staple food.

The staple food that the family usually eats is mainly Erhe noodles steamed buns and white rice, and occasionally steamed corn buns.

But such a good living condition, of course, cannot be revealed in front of outsiders.

The sister-in-law's approach was not to be wary of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, but out of a consistent cautious mentality.

During the three months of fleeing, if the family had not been cautious enough under Yue Wenxuan's advice, they would have been in danger for a long time.

My sister-in-law will definitely keep the cautiousness developed during the escape.

The family had just finished breakfast when they drove the carriage to Sanjia Village.

The luggage was already packed last night, and the family worked together, and quickly loaded all the belongings into the carriage.

In the end, only the shelf car was left, which took up too much space and could not be moved.

If Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang hadn't come, Yue Wenxuan originally planned to let Yue Jiashi pull the shelf cart behind.

Even if you move to the county town, this shelf cart is still useful. You can use it to buy rice noodles or firewood.

But since Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang rushed over to see him off, Yue Wenxuan didn't intend to take this van to the city again.

They live in the city, this shelf car is not necessary, even if they don't have it, it doesn't matter.

They were going to Chang'an next year, and they couldn't take this van with them, so Yue Wenxuan simply gave it away now.

Yue Wenxuan left a few fish on the shelf cart as a return gift to Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang.

He pulled the shelf cart, walked up to Uncle Wang, and said, "Uncle Wang, when we go to the city in the future, this shelf cart will no longer be needed, and I will leave it to you today."

"Such a good shelf car, you'd better take it away, I dare not take it, it's too expensive." Uncle Wang refused very simply.

Although this small car is not very eye-catching, it is considered a considerable fortune in ordinary people's homes.

Especially in rural areas, the function is even greater. It is used to pull various things, and the function can almost match a strong labor force.

Uncle Wang would not dare to accept such a valuable item for nothing.

"You don't need to be polite to me, this van is really of little use when I go to the city.

If you feel bad, just treat it as keeping it for me for a few years. In case our family returns to Sanjia Village one day, you can return it to me, right? "

"It's okay to keep it for you. It's settled. When your family comes back in the future, I will return this shelf car to you."

It wasn't long before Yue Wenxuan's family came to Sanjia Village, and they didn't buy much. They put all their luggage on the carriage, and the remaining space was just enough for the whole family to do it.

The whole family got into the car, and Yue Wenxuan waved goodbye to Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, and shouted to let the two have time to visit the city.

Even though so many people were pulled, the speed of the three animals driving the shaft was faster than that of people walking, and they arrived outside the city gate in less than two hours.

The carriage entered the city, and with so much luggage, Yue Wenxuan paid a full 50 yuan entry fee before he was allowed to go.

It cost so much money to enter the city, but the old lady and sister-in-law were so distressed that they kept talking about it along the way.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Qingniu Lane.

The alley was too narrow to accommodate a carriage, so the family got out of the car here and started to carry their luggage to their new home together.

Yue Wenxuan led the way. As soon as he opened the door, Luo Kaiyin's family heard the movement, and they all followed to check.

After Yue Wenxuan introduced the two parties, Luo Kaiyin and his three sons also started to carry their luggage.

There was not much luggage, so many people worked together, and moved everything to the new home in two or three trips.

The luggage has been moved to the new home, and the most urgent thing is to buy more coal and start the stove first.

The father and son of the Luo family still had nothing to do today, and they were idle when they were idle. The boss of the Luo family volunteered to take Yue Wenxuan and Yue Jiashi out to buy coal.

The prices of everything are rising now, and coal is no exception. What Yue Wenxuan buys is the most expensive clean coal.

Clean coal cost [-] cents a catty, Yue Wenxuan bought [-] catties for the time being, and with Luo Kaiyin's eldest son following him, he didn't want to reveal his wealth too much.

There are three hundred catties of clean coal, which is enough to burn for the time being, and I can buy it again at any time.

In addition to the coal, Yue Wenxuan bought three and a half old stoves, two kettles and a set of pots and stoves at the coal yard. Together with the coal, he hired a cart to deliver them.

Although Yue Wenxuan tried his best to keep a low profile, the eldest son of the Luo family was still dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that the Yue family who fled all the way here would be so rich.

Today's life is so difficult, even in the severe winter, ordinary people seldom have a stove, let alone expensive clean coal.

Compared with ordinary people, the life of the Luo family is considered good, but their family also does not have a raw coal stove.

When the weather is extremely cold, at best, burn more firewood.

The mountains to the south of the county seat are full of trees of all kinds. Even buying firewood for burning is much cheaper than buying coal.

After the coal was bought back, several members of the family had already packed their luggage.

The Luo family tidied up the inside and outside of the courtyard very cleanly. After packing up the luggage, there was no need to tidy up, and the windows were already clean.

Luo Kaiyin's eldest son sat for a while, then got up to leave.

Yue Wenxuan asked, "Aren't you going out this morning?"

"There is still nothing to do today, so I can only continue to hold back at home."

"It's actually at home, so let's make an agreement in advance that you three brothers and Uncle Luo will come to our house for lunch. I just moved here, so I have to set a table anyway."

After all, there was Uncle Wang's relationship, Luo Kaiyin's eldest son thought about it, and agreed without hesitation.

In this day and age, even if you treat guests, there is no need to make the food too rich.

Yue Wenxuan asked his sister-in-law to stew a fish, then made cold cabbage heart, cold radish shreds, and a plate of stewed potato cubes, which was already very good.

Yue Wenxuan asked Yue Jiashi to go out and buy two catties of loose wine. At ten o'clock at noon, he called the four Luo family father and son over.

Luo Kaiyin is also a fastidious person, so he didn't come here empty-handed, but brought two gifts.

As soon as he entered the door, he handed the things into Yue Wenxuan's hands, and said at the same time:

"Wenxuan, this will be your home from now on. Today is the first day of moving. I wish your family a prosperous and smooth future."

"Thank you, Uncle Luo, you have a heart."

The door-to-door gift that Luo Kaiyin brought was a bag of brown sugar and a bag of snacks. The things were not too expensive, but they were also handy.

People in this era, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, attach great importance to etiquette, far more than later generations.

Luo Kaiyin is a very face-saving person, that is, life is really hard now, and the family has no better things to offer, so he brought two home gifts.

If Luo Kaiyin came here alone, he would be able to do it with these two gifts.

But the father and son came to eat together, and they only brought two gifts, so it was a bit difficult for him, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

Luo Kaiyin, father and son are all carpenters, and of course the various furniture they buy for their home are not bad.

All the original furniture in the small courtyard remained, and the dining table naturally also remained, so there was no need for Yue Wenxuan to buy something else.

The table for eating is a large Eight Immortals table with eight chairs, which is suitable for Yue Wenxuan's family of eight.

Today, the four members of the Luo family, father and son, were invited to a banquet at noon. Only Yue Wenxuan and Yue Jiashi accompanied them, and no one else came to the table.

The first thing that was brought to the table was a large bowl of fragrant home-cooked fish stew. After smelling the aroma, the four of Luo's father and son swallowed secretly, and no one knew whose stomach was growling.

This is really embarrassing, so Luo Kaiyin could only say:
"I made my nephew laugh, there's not much work to do during this time, and we have a lot of expenses as a family, so we can only reduce expenses.

My sons, such young lads, can only drink a bowl of porridge every meal.

There is no food in this stomach, and I can't stand it after smelling the fragrance. "

Yue Wenxuan said understandingly: "In today's world, life is getting more and more difficult, and it is not easy for Uncle Luo to let the family drink gruel every meal.

Our family escaped from the enemy-occupied area in eastern Henan. Not to mention how difficult the journey was, we encountered life and death crises many times. Now that our family can come here safely, it is considered lucky. "

The relationship between Uncle Wang and Luo Kaiyin must be closer than that of Yue Wenxuan. Luo Kaiyin must have been told about the situation of their family, so there is no need to hide it. Even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it.

"The virtuous nephew is really admirable. Being able to bring a whole family here from the enemy-occupied area is not something that ordinary people can do.

Although I have no such experience, I have heard many similar things. My admiration for my nephew is definitely from the bottom of my heart. "

This was Luo Kaiyin's real thought. After learning about the origin of Yue Wenxuan's family from his cousin, he was very shocked.
