Farmhouse strong man

On the morning when Uncle Tian asked them to go to Litang Town to transfer the house deed, the two of them piled up all their silver and counted it together. Recently, they made almost 15 taels of silver by selling spicy sticks and crispy rice. There are five taels, five taels have already paid a deposit to Uncle Tian before, and the sum is 12 taels, and the rest is some change. Yuan Liuzhen took out 32 taels of silver for the yard from all the money, and pushed the remaining seven taels of silver to Tao Fu said beside him, "You take the remaining seven taels of silver."

Because Tao Fu was a little unclear about Yuan Liuzhen's actions, Yuan Liuzhen didn't shy away from it, but mentioned that Uncle Man said that Tao Fu owed money, "I heard that Uncle Man said before that you have been paying off your debts for the past few years, I don't know How much silver taels do you owe now, you need money after all. I can talk about it here."

Tao Fu was very moved when he heard this, and wanted to refuse, so he pushed the money towards Yuan Liuzhen. Yuan Liuzhen stopped Tao Fu and said, "If you want to do business together in the future, why bother so much? If you want to refuse, I will find someone else to do business together." .”

Tao Fu had no choice but to put away the seven taels of silver, "There is not much money owed, and I didn't press too hard. There is still a shortfall of 50 taels of silver, and I can pay it off within the year."

Yuan Liuzhen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, 50 taels was not much, and he was afraid that the money Tao Fu owed would not be cleared for several years.

"When I figure out a new snack, I can pay off the 50 taels within a few months." Yuan Liuzhen still has this confidence, and Tao Fu naturally believes in Yuan Liuzhen.

The two packed up and borrowed an ox cart to drive to Litang Town early in the morning.

In ancient times, house deed transfer was very simple. Basically, it was handled at the county government office. Sign a transfer house deed to explain the transfer and deposit. However, the county government office is far away from here, and an office will be set up in the town.

After they met Uncle Tian, ​​they went to the house transfer office together. Uncle Tian had been in Liyao Village for a long time, and then went to the county. He had been to the house transfer office and was familiar with it.When going through the formalities, Tao Fu can't write, so the adults on duty can only write the name and then Tao Fu draws it.

Yuan Liuzhen carefully read the contents of the transfer deed, and after confirming that there was no problem, he signed it with Tao Fu.

After this incident, Yuan Liuzhen felt that it was not good for Tao Fu to be illiterate, at least he had to be able to write his name, otherwise he would suffer a lot when he went out in the future.

He decided that the two of them would live in the same courtyard in the future. If they had more time, they could teach Tao Fu some characters at any time.

After completing the transfer of the house deed and getting the key to Uncle Tian's yard, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu invited Uncle Tian to dinner in the town, and they chatted a lot.

Yuan Liuzhen knew from Uncle Tian that Uncle Tian was also in business, but he was not like a traveling merchant like their family, but had a cloth shop in the county. As for the matter, it is estimated that the original body did not often go shopping or go to the cloth shop, and it had nothing to do with his family's business.He didn't think too much about it either.

An enjoyable meal for all three.

When returning from Litang Town, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu bought a lot of soybeans and a lot of meat together, planning to go back and celebrate.

They spent the night in Litang Town, and returned to Liyao Village the next day. Tao Fu first sent Yuan Liuzhen to their newly bought yard, and then went to return the ox cart.

After Yuan Liuzhen got off the bullock cart, he took the key in his hand and opened the gate of the yard, entered the yard, and once again lamented that this was probably similar to the layout of the courtyard house in City B, although the house was not as exquisite as the courtyard house in City B, but this did not affect their living.

Just clear the weeds in the yard and clean the rooms.

He turned around the room again, and felt that the large rooms on the left and right sides of the entrance gate were the most suitable rooms for him and Tao Fu.One of the small rooms on both sides of the hall facing the gate can be used as a study.

Just as he was thinking about the usage of each room, Tao Fu brought in all the things they bought at the door.

Seeing Tao Fu come in, Yuan Liuzhen hurried over and said, "Which room do you want to live in? I think the rooms on the left and right are good. How about we share one room?"

"Okay, you choose first." Tao Fu smiled.

Yuan Liuzhen pointed to the house on the right and said, "Then I live on the right, and you live in the house on the left."

"Yes." Tao Fu felt that it didn't matter, anyway, he could live in thatched huts on the mountain, and he could live in caves, he didn't care about these.

The two chose a house, and seeing that it was still early, they began to clean the room. They first fetched water from the well, and then cleaned the rooms on both sides that needed to live in one by one.Tao Fu is a little taller and is responsible for cleaning the room and walls, while Yuan Liuzhen is responsible for wiping the furniture inside after Tao Fu cleans.

It has to be said that almost none of the furniture from Uncle Tian's house was taken away, and most of the things taken away were personal items.

After cleaning one room, they moved on to the second room.

Afterwards, they cleaned the other rooms briefly, and when they felt that the cleaning was about the same, they simply cleaned it with well water, locked the gate of the yard, and walked to Tao Fu's thatched cottage with the vegetables they bought from Litang Town today.

They planned to live in the newly bought yard after they moved all the things from the thatched hut on the mountain and cleared the grass in the yard.

After returning to the thatched cottage, the two of them were in a very happy mood, especially Yuan Liuzhen. He felt that in this world, he had bought the first yard through his own efforts. Before buying Tao Fu’s yard, he didn’t use the money he earned. No, anyway, the yard will be returned to Tao Fu in the future.

Tao Fu also felt in a good mood. With the yard, the two of them would not have to live on the mountain in the future, and Yuan Liuzhen could sleep better. The bed he made at will is definitely not as comfortable as the bed in the yard now.

Today I bought pork in the town, Yuan Liuzhen wanted Tao Fu to cook braised pork, and Tao Fu happened to be able to cook this dish.

Back at the thatched hut, Yuan Liuzhen helped cut firewood for the fire, and Tao Fu was in charge of cooking and cooking porridge, and the rice was cooked in a short while.

Yuan Liuzhen was completely satisfied after eating braised pork that was better than he remembered after a long time. It had been a long time since he had eaten this kind of braised pork that was not greasy at all, the meat was so rotten and full of flavor.

After eating and drinking enough, it was already very late. Tao Fu took a look at the sky and thought it might rain, so he put away all the dried fruits on the thatched roof. Anyway, they will move things here starting tomorrow.

After collecting the dried fruit, Tao Fu fed A'Ban, and the two of them slept on the wooden plank on the floor and the other on the bed as before, and soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the ground was a little wet and the sky was gloomy, but it hadn't rained, and it should rain again.

Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu packed the things in the thatched cottage one by one, and they went to the cave where Tao Fu had taken Yuan Liuzhen to before. There were a lot of things in the cave. Then I packed it with the things in the thatched hut and took it down the mountain.After the rain, the mountain road was very slippery. They carefully carried their things down the mountain and returned to the newly bought yard.Along the way, Ah'Ban has been following them not far or near.

After returning to the yard, they arranged the things they brought back and began to clean the room carefully.

After cleaning and wiping the room thoroughly, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu decided to clear the grass in the yard first. It happened to be raining last night, so they just need to pull out the grass.

Just do it, the two of them started to get busy without saying a word.

After pulling the weeds for a while, it started to rain, and Tao Fu had to take the things he brought from the thatched cottage to the kitchen to cook.

Uncle Tian previously placed the kitchen on the left side of the gate of the yard. There is a complete stove and a chopping board inside. It is much more convenient to cook than on the mountain.

While Tao Fu was cooking, Yuan Liuzhen was not idle. Instead, he set up the study room. In fact, there was nothing there, but the pens, inks, papers and inkstones were neatly arranged in the room for his next use.

After tidying up the study, he went to the lobby, took out the soybeans he bought with Tao Fu yesterday, and began to pick fresh soybeans with plump grains and round luster.He is going to pick out the beans first. The weather is bad now. When the weather is better, he can make tofu and spicy slices.The picked beans can be made into bean sprouts if he is free, which is convenient for cooking.

While picking beans, Yuan Liuzhen couldn't help laughing while watching Tao Fu cook and wash vegetables by the well, fetching water from time to time.

He and Tao Fu bought a yard, one cooks, two wash pots, working together, isn't it just a life for newlyweds?

However, he didn't think too much about it, he just made fun of it.

He didn't dislike the current state of the two of them getting along at all. On the contrary, he felt that this was very good. Tao Fu's cooking was so delicious, and he was very satisfied to be able to eat Tao Fu's cooking every day.It would be great if he could live like this all the time, but he knew that in this era, few men live alone, not to mention that there are few men in this era, even if any brother or girl is not married, there will be no man left.

Thinking of this, he didn't know why he let out a long sigh.

They bought two big bags of soybeans. Before he finished picking the beans, Tao Fu asked him to eat together.

He ran to the kitchen, put the food on the table with Tao Fu, and started to eat after washing his hands. Today, he fried cabbage, fried pork slices, braised pork, pickles, porridge, and pancakes.

Yuan Liuzhen picked up a piece of braised pork with his first chopsticks. He ate the taste last night, and he is still relishing the taste. When he picked up the first chopsticks with braised pork, Tao Fu couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Liuzhen glanced at the smiling Tao Fu and said nothing. She put a chopstick of braised pork into the bowl for Tao Fu, "Ah Fu, eat more, it's delicious."

After a meal, Yuan Liuzhen was full again. Together with Tao Fu, they cleaned up the stove and picked beans for a while. When the rain stopped, they continued weeding in the yard.

The two of them weeded very quickly together. Before it was dark, they weeded the entire yard.

Yuan Liuzhen looked at the cleaned house and the weeded yard, and said to Tao Fu: "It's not raining now, let's tell Uncle Man, how about asking Uncle Man to bring Xiaoman over for dinner tomorrow? Let's let him come tomorrow too." Li Niang and the others come over for dinner. How about tomorrow as a housewarming?"

"I think so too. I originally discussed this matter with you." Tao Fu didn't expect that he and Yuan Liuzhen would like to go together. He also planned to inform everyone today to come over for dinner tomorrow. After the meal, they can start tomorrow. Officially live here.
