Chapter 141 Xiao Yan is back
Chapter 141 Xiao Yan is back
The sky of northern Xinjiang,
It gets dark at 3 p.m.
So after signing the contract with Boss Lu, Zhou Lingling and the others hurried back to the inn.
Chen said in a daze, "My daughter, have we bought another house?"
Why did she forget to remind her daughter that she could rent it?
Zhou Lingling swallowed the hot tea in her mouth and nodded: "Yes, mother."
Zhou Lingling secretly rejoiced when she realized what her mother meant.
I thought her mother was immune, but it turned out to be too late!
So she said, "Mom, a good house is hard to come by, and it's safer to live in your own house. No one will drive us out, right?"
"And if we leave Northern Xinjiang in the future, we can just sell this house."
Of course, it's impossible.
If she were to live her life again, Zhou Lingling's wish would be to lead her family to progress every day, and then to rest in peace, and it would be best if she could travel around the Yuan Dynasty.
Yes, the Yuan Dynasty would be great, there would be no need to travel around the world.
Hey!
It’s such a simple wish, I wonder when it will come true?
So buying a house now is to prepare for the future.
Having my own houses all over the country, I can go straight home wherever I go. Just thinking about it makes Zhou Lingling feel happy.
She couldn't fulfill this wish in her previous life, but she can try in this life.
the next day,
Zhou Lingling first found the Tang family and asked them about their next plans.
What’s next?
Widow Zhao and the Tang brothers were both stunned.
Because they haven't thought about this issue yet.
But Widow Zhao had a vague idea in her mind and decided to wait and see before making a decision.
"Miss Zhou, to be honest, our family hasn't thought about this matter yet."
"I, an old woman, would like to ask you, are you coming to the Northern Frontier to visit relatives, or are you doing some other business?"
Zhou Lingling was also surprised that the old lady asked this question only now.
During this journey, all the people from the Tang and Sun families, young and old, just worked hard, fearing that they would not be able to afford their daily meals.
Regardless of the purpose of their family's visit to Northern Xinjiang, or the food that was obviously something they had never seen before, the whole family didn't say a word or ask.
Zhou Lingling chuckled and said, "We came to the Northern Frontier to live with relatives. After we settle down, we plan to farm."
Farming?
Widow Zhao's eyes lit up.
"Farming is good! Farming is good! The boys in our family have been tending crops in the fields since they were young. No matter what they grow, they can grow it well!"
Having said that, Widow Zhao felt a little embarrassed about what to say next.
She stammered, "Well... Miss Zhou, if your family needs someone to farm in the future, you can take care of our children."
Widow Zhao also knew that the life-saving grace and care along the way could not be repaid by helping them to farm.
However, their family is now so poor that only one of them is left. Apart from contributing their physical strength, they can't think of any other way to help their benefactor.
Besides, Widow Zhao is not without selfish motives.
The Zhou family is kind-hearted. If the children help with the work, they can at least have enough to eat.
This is already a great help to their family who have nothing now.
Zhou Lingling understood what the old lady meant.
Coincidentally, that was exactly what she meant.
"Grandma Zhao, we've been through thick and thin together, so I won't tell you anything fancy. Since you don't have any plans yet, why not listen to my plan?"
"We've bought a small courtyard to accommodate us and Uncle Tie and his family. We still have a few small rooms left in the front. If your family doesn't have a place to stay for the time being, you can squeeze in there."
"Until you find a house and move out, you have to work for my family to pay the rent."
The Tang family is hardworking and down-to-earth, and they are tight-lipped. They have no one to rely on in the northern border, so they will undoubtedly be great helpers.
So Zhou Lingling changed her mind about not wanting to care about this family anymore.
Widow Zhao and brothers Tang Biao never thought that pie would fall from the sky.
The people who came looked at each other, unable to hide their inner excitement.
Widow Zhao, who has lived and been strong for most of her life, wishes she could kowtow to Zhou Lingling!
"Ms. Zhou, you have helped our family so much..."
Now that we've agreed, let's pack up and move over.
Even the two rows of houses on the front porch of the courtyard in Northern Xinjiang have firewalls, but Tie Yuan and his friends still have two people in each row.
Zhou Lingling waved her hand and let the Tang family divide the remaining houses among themselves.
There were only six small rooms in a row, barely big enough for a bed and a small table. They were originally used by the servants in the mansion.
So the three married brothers of the Tang family each had a room, Sun Yan and his wife and the old couple each had a room, and Tang Jun slept on the floor in his mother's room.
Zhou Lingling did realize her wish of having a small courtyard to herself.
The four small courtyards were divided into one for Doctor Lao Bai and his apprentice. My parents lived in the largest one, and my two brothers only had one courtyard to live in.
The Tang family and Sun Yan and his wife threw their bags into the room and came to the back to help clean the room.
Meixiang and her son moved into the side room in Chen's yard because there was a ready-made small kitchen next to it.
With the Tang family around, Meixiang was afraid that she, who had signed the contract, would not be as good as those who helped her.
They simply threw Zhuqing into the room, took out the kitchen utensils they brought with them, and started cleaning up the kitchen.
The men moved things, moved cabinets and fetched water, while the women swept the floor, wiped the tables and cabinets.
A large group of people started working busily.
As soon as Zhou Lingling and the others stretched out their hands, someone would rush to take the job, and the family could only stand aside and watch.
The gauze wrapped around the little tiger's head had not been taken off yet, but he was already following his parents around.
He handed the handkerchief his father had wrung to his mother.
Little Huzi woke up three days later. The family was mentally prepared. As a result, Huzi not only woke up, but also did not become a fool.
Hearing the child's eloquent call, the Tang family cried with joy.
Tang Biao and his wife brought their child to kowtow deeply to Doctor Lao Bai. They also wanted to kowtow to Zhou Lingling who had brought the ginseng slices, but she dodged them.
Zhou Lingling was very relieved that the little guy was safe and could even help his parents with work.
With no work to do, Zhou Lingling was happy to be a hands-off boss and turned to her mother and said:
"Mom, we have nothing to do here, why don't we go boil some hot water!"
She saw that everyone's hands were red from the cold.
The temperature outside is at most zero degrees now, but fortunately the well water is steaming hot.
Chen also saw it and nodded.
at night,
Meixiang, Widow Zhao and the other two cooked two large tables full of food.
Fortunately, the lobby was large enough to accommodate the thirty or so of them.
Zhou Lingling rubbed her face, which had been stiffened by the wind when she first arrived, and said, "Let's have something warm to eat tomorrow."
Zhou Yun knew best that the food his sister was talking about must be something special, so he nodded in agreement immediately, earning another slap from his mother.
While everyone was eating, there was a knock on the door.
Sang Lin went to open the door.
Zhou Lingling heard Feiyu's deliberate complaining voice:
"Uncle Sang, you're already eating? Why didn't you wait for me..."
