Shunniang was overjoyed when she heard that, she immediately grabbed Lu Zhan's arm and begged him for help, then she took her to meet his father-in-law, and said a few good words for her, if he could help her secure the house, she would definitely have good wine deliver.

Lu Zhan said: "I'm not greedy for your fine wine, but because you are friends with my incompetent brother, who always praises you in front of me, so I will take you to talk to my father-in-law. "

"Then I will thank Big Brother Lu first. If this happens, Big Brother will come to my little brother's house to have a drink when I move out. Let's get drunk!"

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk, let's go now, it's settled in a few words, so I can bring this wine back to my old father."

"go!"

Shunniang excitedly pulled Lu Zhan's arm and walked forward. Lu Zhan smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, good things are not too busy."

Seeing that Shunniang was about to leave, the landlord who was standing on the side of the street waiting for Shunniang to make an order loudly asked her if she was still sure. Shunniang said a few words, saying that she had something to do at the moment and would talk about it later.She thought, no matter how easy the landlord's house is to rent, it will be dark today, so he won't rent it out right away. If he tells Xie Yi that he doesn't want to rent it, it won't be too late to come back to find the landlord. Thinking of this, she bowed to him and said wait a minute, she will come as soon as she goes.

The landlord pouted, but didn't say anything after all, only said that if Shun Niang wanted to rent, she should come here as soon as possible to make a decision.

To be honest, the landlord in front of me was eager to let Shunniang make a decision, but let Shunniang judge that his rent was indeed more expensive as Lu Zhan said just now, and he was eager to rent the house to himself at this high price. Anxious.

Shunniang and Lu Zhan walked back and forth to the Xie's butcher shop at the west end of the town. Along the way, Lu Zhan kept talking about his brother Lu Quan, who was not up to the mark. I don't know where he went, and he didn't go home for two consecutive days, I hope he doesn't cause trouble outside.

"He is a sensible person, he knows what to do and what not to do. I don't think Brother Lu needs to worry too much about him, he will be fine." Shun Niang could only comfort Lu Zhan in this way, even though she was not sure Will Lu Quanhui cause trouble outside?

"I hope it's like the second brother said, hey, second brother, you are sworn brothers with him, you should always persuade him."

"Okay, Brother Lu, don't worry."

While talking, the two had already walked to Xie's butcher shop.

At that time, the butcher's stall in Xie's butcher's shop was empty, presumably all the meat and bones had been sold out, and the stall had already been closed.

Before Shunniang followed Lu Zhan into Xie's butcher's shop, she paid special attention to the room on the left side of Xie's butcher's shop that had never been noticed before. The shop of Xie's butcher's shop is one piece, look again, there is a window above it, presumably there is a building above the house.Such a small house with a building facing the street and a small yard at the back, Shunniang really thought that if she could rent it out, it would be perfect for a family to live in.

In short, Shunniang was satisfied when she saw the cluttered house of Xie Yi's family that Lu Zhan mentioned for the first time, and she didn't even go in to see it.

When Lu Zhan took Shunniang into Xie's butcher's shop and found Xie Yi, he was sitting down, planning to drink a few glasses of wine for dinner. When he saw the eldest son-in-law brought Kijiro, he didn't ask what they were doing. He shouted happily and asked him to sit down with Shun Niang and have a drink together.

"Yuezhang, my son-in-law brought Xijia Erlang here to ask Yuezhang for something." Lu Zhan refused to sit down and bowed deeply to Xie Yi.

"What's the matter, sit down and have a drink!" Xie Yi grabbed one of Lu Zhan's hands and pulled him down, then pressed him down and made him sit on a stool.

Lu Zhan was a gentle scholar, how could he resist his strong father-in-law's pull, and sat in front of Xie Yi with a crooked body, he said with a bitter face that he couldn't drink here, he came out to buy wine for his father, The wives, children, and parents at home are still waiting for me to go back to eat.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu laughed at Lu Zhan, saying why he brought Xi Erlang to Xie's house when he came out for a drink.

Shun Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and before Lu Zhan could speak, she explained why Lu Zhan brought her to Xie's house.

After hearing this, Xie Yi waved his hand, and said in a clear voice: "What am I supposed to do? So I want to rent the vacant room next to my shop. I will send you and your family to live in that room. You will move out soon. Come on, I will ask the guys in the shop to clean up and sweep it out, so you can move in!"

Shunniang didn't expect that Xie Yi agreed without saying much, and not only agreed, but also said that she would give her the house to live in.

But of course, she couldn't accept Xie Yi's proposal to live in other people's house for nothing, so she said that she must pay the rent, and asked Xie Yi to let Xi's family pay the rent according to the market price, otherwise the Xi's family would be embarrassed to live in.

Xie Yi was in a dilemma, so he took a look at Wu Shi and asked her to say a price.

Mrs. Wu then asked Shunniang how much the house rented by Xi's family cost per month, and Shunniang said it was [-] Wen, paid once a month.

"Then pay five hundred Wen, and it's also paid once a month." Wu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shunniang quickly thanked Wu and Xie Yi, saying that they helped her a lot, because the He family wanted the Xi family to move out within three days, and she had been looking for two days, but she still hadn't found a suitable one.

Xie Yi smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you. You saved my second mother. The house is nothing compared to her life. According to me, I shouldn't charge you a penny, but the little brother is stubborn. If we don't , you are embarrassed to live in, but you can’t help, so tomorrow I will ask the guys in the shop to help clean up the house and yard, and then I will call someone to help you move..."

The Wu family also echoed, saying that the Xie family was very happy to be able to help the Xi family.

As for Shunniang, of course, she thanked Xie Yi and his wife again, and said that everything should be done according to their instructions.

When Lu Zhan saw that his father-in-law had agreed to rent to Xi Erlang the room next to the butcher shop where the sundries were piled up, he stood up and said goodbye, saying that he had to go back quickly, and asked Shun Niang to accompany his father-in-law to have a few glasses of wine here, saying After that, he hurried away with the wine gourd.

As for Shunniang, it was not easy to leave under Xie Yi's kind invitation, so she could only sit down and drink with Xie Yi, because Shunniang, the "outsider" came, and originally sat at the same table with her parents Erniang Xie got off the table and took her younger brother Xie Sanlang to eat quietly at a small table beside her.

After Shunniang had finished her meal, said goodbye and left, she asked her mother, would Xierlang's family really want to move in tomorrow?

Wu Shi nodded: "Yeah, what's the matter, you don't feel good?"

Xie Erniang shook her head, didn't speak any more, helped her mother clean up the dishes and went downstairs with them.

She didn't feel bad, but felt very strange, as if she was vaguely looking forward to it, but also faintly apprehensive.

Here, Xie Yi and his wife just gossip, Xie Yi said that now Mrs. Wu can feel at ease, and the candidate son-in-law will live next door to his house, so that he can observe whether Kierlang is doing well, and if other women want If he wants to recruit him to be his son-in-law, Wu can also stop him.If this Xi Erlang has a good character and can support the family, and next year my second mother can't find a more suitable family, why not just betroth her to Xi Erlang.

Mrs. Wu pinched him, saying that his thinking was too simple, and that she agreed with his proposal because she really wanted to help the Xi family, and had no other intentions, to repay Xi Erlang for saving his family's second mother. That's all, I don't think that sending a few catties of meat and two bottles of wine is repaying others. As for choosing a son-in-law for my second mother, how can I be so hasty, let's wait and see.

But she said that Shunniang was full of wine and food at Xie Yi's house, and went home happily with a little drunkenness.

At home, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi were watching her return, they still hadn't eaten, and when Shun Niang came back to eat together, only Ke Cheng and Hui Er couldn't bear the hunger, so they ate some first.

As soon as they heard the sound of the courtyard door, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi went out together, and Ke Cheng followed behind.

Seeing Shunniang coming in, reeking of alcohol, Mrs. Liu blamed her for not doing business, why did she go out to drink, and did she find the house?

Shunniang didn't take the old lady's blame seriously, instead she laughed out loud. Her laugh stunned Liu Shi and Qi Shi, and wondered if she was just laughing like this when she was drunk.

He hugged Kecheng who jumped up to hug her leg, kissed his little cheek, and then Shunniang smiled at Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi: "Mother, sister-in-law, I'm not drunk, let's go in Speak, I tell you that I have found the house!"

When Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi heard what Shunniang said, their hearts were relieved for a moment, and they were all happy. They hurriedly followed Shunniang into the house, and asked Shunniang to quickly tell what kind of house they found and how much it cost. Where is the town.

Shunniang asked them to eat first, and then she sat down and talked to them slowly.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi scooped up the porridge and ate it. Shunniang told her that she had a bad time finding a house this afternoon, and when she met Lu Zhan, he told her all about taking her to Xie Yi's house to rent a house, and finally laughed from ear to ear, saying The small room next to Xie's butcher's shop is the house that suits her best in Yangliu Town, besides, Xie Yi and his wife only charge [-] Wen for the rent, and the rent is paid once a month. It was time to start selling bean sprouts, she said: "I have already thought about it, you live upstairs, I live downstairs, and the backyard is used to pile firewood and grow seeds. When the seeds grow, we will be in front of the door." Set up a stall to sell raw seeds, my mother watched the business, and my sister-in-law took the children to cook..."

"Oh, this is really great! After all, our family has met a noble person, and the Xie family is willing to help us like this. I really don't know how to thank him!" Mrs. Liu clapped her hands and said with a smile. It was obvious that she was very happy.

Qi's eyebrows and eyes were also crooked with a smile, she said: "I'm really going to move, our family will walk around with Xie's family more often, and often send some of the seeds we send out to Xie's family. Although it is not worth much, is it our family? mind."

Shun Niang then said: "I've thought about it. When our family moves in and settles down, we'll choose an auspicious day and arrange two banquets. Please invite the Xie family and the Lu family to one, congratulate the housewarming, and express A token of our gratitude."

Mrs. Liu has always been a person who is reluctant to spend money, but this time she did not give up, but agreed to Shunniang's proposal, and said that even if it costs a few hundred Wen to treat guests, it is worth it.

Shunniang asked the old lady and sister-in-law if they had packed up all the things they were going to take away from home.

Liu Shi and Qi Shi told her that all the clothes and other things were packed, only some pots and pans and firewood, rice, oil and salt were confiscated, thinking that they would have to cook tomorrow.

Shunniang said: "Tomorrow we will get up early to cook and eat, and we will tidy up all the things that are going to be moved at home, and then I will go to the lady of the He family and let her watch us move. Take this and that from her house."

Liu Shi and Qi Shi nodded together: "Okay, let's do it like this."

When she got up the next day, Shunniang didn't go up the mountain to cut firewood. She was in charge of bundling the firewood. The firewood weighed at least several hundred catties. When moving, she had to rely on her to move it.Mrs. Liu continued to tidy up the things in the house, while Mrs. Qi made a basket of biscuits in the kitchen. She thought that she might not have time to cook when she moved there today, so she planned to move the biscuits there to eat.

After making breakfast, the family ate together, and then they were busy with the work at hand.

Moving house has always been a trivial job, especially tiring, and it is the same for Shun Niang and others.

Seeing that everything was almost packed, Mrs. Qi went to call Mrs. He over, saying that she would be moving out in a while. Mrs. He checked the furniture and other items in the house for damage, and if there was anything missing.

The lady of the He family looked at it carefully, and didn't make things difficult for Xi's family. She insisted on saying something was rotten or something was missing, but it was because the lady of the He family still didn't want to offend Xi's family publicly. The old Kijiro made friends with the villains in the town, and he really couldn't afford to offend them.

Therefore, she politely said nothing to Mrs. Liu, and expressed her apology tactfully again, saying that her relatives had come and had to let Xi's family move as a last resort.

The wife of the He family asked where the Xi family would move to, and Liu told her quite proudly that the Xi family would move to the house next to the Xie family's butcher shop, which faced the street, had a well in the yard, and rented But [-] Wen, still paid once a month.

The implication could not be more obvious, your He family refused to rent us a house, and let us move out within a time limit, but we still found a house, and it was better than yours, what's so great about you...

The wife of the He family never thought that Xi's family could find a house within three days, and the conditions were obviously better than hers, and the rent was the same as the one she had rented to Xi's family before.To be honest, she knew about the house next door to Xie's Butcher Shop, the facade house facing the street, besides, it was at the west end of the town, which was the entrance and exit from Yangliu Town to Bianliang City, and it had always been the busiest place in the town.There were no vacant houses for rent in that place, and even if they wanted to rent them out, the price would be the highest in Yangliu Town.

But I don't know how the Xi's family was able to rent it, and the rent is so cheap, the lady of the He family can't figure it out.

She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't delay Xi's family moving.

At the end of the day (around 11:[-] a.m.), the Xie family sent a buddy to drive an ox cart to help the Xi family move. This ox cart belongs to the Xie family and is usually used to collect pigs in the countryside. Xie Yi thought Xi's family moved only by people, and going back and forth was tiring and time-consuming, so he sent a butcher named Hei Wa to drive a car to help Xi's move.

This Heiwa is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youngster with dark skin, like an iron tower, with a simple and honest appearance, but he is flexible in his hands and feet. He usually helps Xie Yi collect and kill pigs.

Hei Wa drove the ox cart to the gate of Xi's yard, and Hei Wa jumped out of the car, went directly into the yard to find Shun Niang, and introduced herself as Hei Wa, who was sent by Xie Yi, the owner of the butcher shop, to help Xi's house move. car, he asked Shun Niang to take him to help move things.

Shunniang didn't expect that Xie Yi would send someone to drive an ox cart to move Xi's family, so of course she was overjoyed.

So she took Hei Wa into the house to help the old mother and sister-in-law move things. She planned to use the ox cart sent by Xie Yi to move three times, once for daily necessities, including clothes, quilts, pots, pans, rice, oil and salt, etc., and for the remaining two times. It was the firewood she had chopped down.

Xi's family moved to Yangliu Town for a few months, and they have been living a difficult life, and they didn't buy anything. The old furniture in the house belonged to the He family, and the only things they bought were those things in the kitchen.So in the first car, I finished moving the daily necessities. Shunniang asked my mother and sister-in-law to take the children to go first, move the things into the house, and settle down. She stayed in the yard and carried the firewood later.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi carried Kecheng and Hui'er and followed Heiwa's ox cart to their new home first.

When they arrived, Mrs. Wu and her daughter Xie Erniang were in the hut next to the Xie's butcher shop, and they were instructing the people from the furniture store to move furniture into the house. It turned out that the hut where Xie's family piled up sundries was unoccupied. So there is no furniture in the house.

Xie Yi and his wife got up early in the morning and sent two men to clean up the house, and then thought that the house was empty, and Xierlang's family had to buy furniture after moving in, so they decided to go to Wang's house not far from this street. Buy some simple tables, chairs, cabinets and beds in the furniture store.It cost two or three pennies to buy these furniture, but Xie Yi and his wife didn't care about it. Their butcher shop sold pork and made them more than one penny a day. It's just profit, so I didn't take it to heart.

But this is a big event for Xi's family, so when Liu Shi and Qi Shi saw Wu Shi and Xie Erniang ordering the furniture store's guys to move new furniture into the house, they immediately understood what was going on, and they burst into excited voices. Thank you Wu.

Wu waved her hands with a smile and said it was nothing, since Xi's family was going to move in, she, the landlord, of course had to buy some furniture for Xi's family, otherwise it would be nothing to move in.

After the clerk of the furniture store moved in the new furniture and arranged it according to Wu's wishes, Hei Wa helped Liu and Qi move things into the house.

Just as Shunniang had expected, two small wooden beds, a box, and a cabinet were placed upstairs. Mrs. Wu said that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi could live upstairs with their two children.A wooden bed, a box and a cabinet were also placed downstairs near the west wall. Wu said that Xi Erlang could live downstairs, and it would be convenient for guarding the door.As for the backyard, she said that she would invite two craftsmen to build a simple kitchen and firewood house for Xi's house tomorrow. The fence between the original killing room and the yard here was demolished, and a new wall was built, which was higher. A door is opened on the wall so that Xi's family can carry water from the well in the courtyard, so Xi's family can live in peace of mind.

When Liu Shi and Qi Shi heard this, they could only say that they were grateful, what else could they say.

Mrs. Wu has thought so much about Xie's family. Mrs. Liu can't express any more except that Xie's family is a good person, and she will go to the temple to pray for Xie's family and burn incense, bless Xie's business prosperity, people and wealth. I am grateful.

Shunniang and Heiwa really used the bullock cart to carry the firewood twice before they finished moving the firewood in the woodshed of the He family's old house that they rented.

The yard behind the hut next to Xie’s butcher’s shop is about the same size as that of He’s old house. Shunniang put the firewood she brought over on the east wall, and planned to ask the masons to build a firewood house on the east wall when they came tomorrow. So as not to move firewood again.

On the west wall, she decided to build a kitchen and a house for growing seeds. Of course, in order to save money, these houses are the simplest adobe houses.

Even so, it costs a lot of money. Shunniang estimated that to build these adobe houses, labor and materials would cost three to five yuan. It cost at least five or six pennies to live in, which is way too much compared to the five hundred yuan a month's rent from Xi's family.

Shunniang thought, except for the generosity of Xie Yi and his wife, I am afraid that there will be no such people in Yangliu Town.

Hey, how should I repay this kind of kindness?

Shunniang thinks that apart from villains like Zhao Sanlang, there are many good people in this world, such as Sister Song Yu, brothers Lu Zhan and Lu Quan, and Xie Yi and his wife.

In short, she thought that when she was capable and promising, she would try her best to repay them.

With the help of Mrs. Wu and Erniang Xie, Xi's family finally put all the things they moved in in Hei. Considering that the Xi's family could not get angry today, she even brought them some congee and vegetables, and asked them to bring them together. just eat.

Since moving here, Shunniang and the others have expressed their gratitude to Xie's family countless times. Now that Mrs. Wu sent someone to send porridge over, they can only keep this gratitude in their hearts, thinking about repaying it in the future family……

After eating, Xie Yi, his wife and Xie Erniang came over to have a look again, and asked Shunniang, Liu Shi and the others if there was anything missing, just let them know.

Shunniang hurriedly said that everything was ready and there was nothing missing, and she was really grateful to them.

Xie Yi said with a rough laugh: "It's nothing, you live well, and I, the owner of the house, are also happy. My second mother also said that the little boy in your family is about the same age as my Sanlang, and Sanlang will find a playmate in the future." It's..."

Mrs. Liu said: "Our family is full of companions, but now we have someone to play with. Even my wife and I have someone to talk to. This move is really the right move!"

After exchanging some pleasantries, Xie family said goodbye and left. Shunniang closed the door, went to the backyard to get a bucket and a shoulder pole, went to the well in the big yard next door to fetch some water, the family scrubbed it, and went back to the house sleep.

Today's move really exhausted Shunniang and the others. The joy brought by moving to such a satisfactory new home did not dilute their sleepiness, and the family went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, Shunniang was woken up by the howling of pigs next door. There was a lot of movement in the killing room over there, with pigs screaming and people talking loudly.

Shunniang lay on the bed and thought, maybe the only unsatisfactory thing about moving here is that there is too much noise in the middle of the night next door to slaughter pigs, which is not as quiet as the small courtyard where she used to live, and she doesn't know if the old lady and sister-in-law upstairs have been woken up.
