With the help of Mr. Wang, Li Jin only had to wait for a cup of tea, and then he got several suitable house sales information.
"These three households are all second-entry yards, and these two households have eight rooms and two courtyards.
The last house has eight rooms, but there are three yards in total. It is said that the old lady in the family likes to grow vegetables, so she bought a little more land. "
Mr. Wang said: "These three households are not located on the main street, but the location is not too remote. One room is calculated as 4 taels, and the total is 32 taels. Two yards are six taels, three yards are nine taels, and the price is also Pretty much the same."
Li Jin wrote down the addresses of the three households and the names of the main households, and after thanking Mr. Wang, he lifted his feet and walked towards the nearest household.
Of course, along the way, he bought two egg pancakes to pad his stomach.
Li Jin is actually more optimistic about the house with three yards. After all, there are small buns at home, so it would be better to have more places to play.
The owner of the first household, whose family name is Qian, was originally from Dengquan Village. When he was young, he had a big business, so he had the opportunity to buy a house in Fucheng.
Now that his fateful year (fifty years old) has passed, he yearns for Ye Luo to return to his roots, and the children of the family do not plan to develop in Fucheng, so he thinks about selling the house.
When Li Jin came to the door, he was greeted by a young man in his twenties.
The man saw that Mr. Wang's seal was on Li Jin's hand, which was equivalent to 'certification' of purchasing power.
Therefore, his attitude is quite enthusiastic: "The house has been vacated, you can take a look at it. We only repaired this house once the year before, and it is still new."
Li Jin looked at the yard carefully. There was a shadow wall directly opposite the gate. After entering, there was a small yard with a hand veranda on the left and right.
It was built strictly according to the format prescribed by Fucheng.
The first yard is called the outer yard, with a main hall, a study and two ear rooms.
As for the inner courtyard, that is, the second entry and exit, there are also four rooms, but the courtyard is twice the size of the outer courtyard, and there is a well near the courtyard wall.
The courtyard between the first entrance and the second entrance is separated by a hanging flower door, which can not only block the view of visitors from the inner courtyard, but also is very economical. When spring and summer come, there will be bursts of flowers.
This courtyard is indeed as the seller said, the walls and blue bricks are clean, and you can even live in it directly.
As for the neighbors, according to the owner of the house, the two families are also in business and are very good at talking.
Li Jin nodded and said that he knew it, but after he went to see the two families again, he would give an answer the next day at the latest.
The young man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to arrive the day after tomorrow. All the items in the house have been removed. I've been laying the floor for the past few days. If I trade earlier, I'll be able to go back as soon as possible."
Li Jin watched the first one, and the sky was still bright. He thought that he still had time to see the second one.
As a result, the family was not at home.
If I go to the third household at this time, it may be dark before halfway through the visit.
The inner city has strict rules, and Li Jin is not arrogant enough to challenge the authority of the government.
Although he was a little regretful about this, he could only go out of town after strolling on the main street for a while.
There are a total of four main streets in the east, west, north and south in the prefecture city. People who come and go are always doing business, which is very lively.
On the second day, Li Jin got up early. After the daily exercise was over, it was not so early. It was a good time to visit others.
But the remaining two houses are not as refined as the first house, and even some houses have a large piece of wall peeling off, which looks particularly rough.
With such a comparison, Li Jin also had his own plans in mind.
Although he originally liked the house with three yards, the environment was really hard for him to accept.
Li Jin went to visit the neighbors of the first family in the afternoon of the second day. Although they were not scholars, they had wandered around in the business field.
Li Jin took the initiative to say that he will have a ten-month-old child. Although he is usually well-behaved, he will occasionally shout, hoping that it will not affect them.
He thought the neighbors would think about it, but they all waved their hands and said, "It's okay, this house has good sound insulation.
I was worried about this before because my children were young, but I asked the neighbors later, and they all said they didn't hear it. "
In this case, Li Jin was relieved, and he quickly arranged the transfer procedures with the host.
A total of 38 taels of silver, under Mr. Wang's inspection, the money and goods are clear.
The boat returning to the town leaves every three days, and can only go back tomorrow. Li Jin simply used this time to clean all the rooms in the inner courtyard.
Naturally, I stayed at the inn at night. After all, when the original owner left, except for the rags and brooms, the other bedding used for the floor was taken away.
After another two days, Li Jin finally returned to the village.
Now, everyone in the village knows that he is going to study in the academy in Fucheng, but they are worried about the husband and children at home, so they have to take him to live in Fucheng.
Li Zhuzi grabbed Li Jin's hand, and the burly man spoke with a vibrato: "A Jin, can you come back later?"
Li Jin also felt parting sentimental in his heart: "I only study for one year, and of course I will come back after that. Hongyan Village is my root."
"That's fine, that's fine."
In the next two days, Li Jin and Qin Muwen packed and packed everything they could take away from home. The furniture is too heavy and will be used when I come back, so I just leave it at home.
The remaining fruits and vegetables and live hens are distributed to the villagers.
Of course, Li Jin also packed a suitcase with all kinds of gadgets Li Dahe made for Xiao Baozi.
But even so, the family didn't have much luggage. The bedding and clothes were all rolled up and tied up. There was a relatively heavy box containing the "Four Books", "Five Classics" and "Sacred Mandate Guangxun" handwritten by Li Jin. Manuscripts of drawing books.
The original book, Li Jin, has long since returned to Zhao.
Early in the morning on the third day, before Li Zhuzi's ox cart arrived, Li Jin was just wrapping the little bun in a swaddle when he heard a knock on the door of the firewood.
The person who came was actually the village chief, Li Jin welcomed him into the study, and Qin Muwen hurriedly brought hot water for the two of them.
After Qin Muwen went out, the village chief said, "The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes. If you only live in Fucheng for a year, why should you buy a house?"
Li Jin didn't have time to speak.
The village chief said: "I also watched you grow up. You were so sensible when you were young, although you were a little lazy later, but you also turned back in time.
I never had bad thoughts for you, Li Jin. "
"Thank you uncle for taking care of me over the years. I also have my own selfishness to buy a house..."
The village chief gave him a deep look and interrupted: "It's getting late. Before you asked me to sign the 'information letter' for buying a house in a different place with the name of the village, I signed it for you without a word.
Li Jin, tell me if you will ever go back to our village in the future. "
Li Jin stood up and said, "Naturally. But it should be more than a year."
The village chief got the answer he wanted and smiled, "A year is indeed too short, and you can't learn anything really useful. It is also important to gain knowledge while you are young.
But with your words, as long as my old bones are still there, it means that Hongyan Village has been waiting for you to come back! "
Li Jin gave the village chief a deep bow, and the village chief wanted to stand up, but seeing the firm look in Li Jin's eyes, he accepted the salute abruptly.
After the village chief left, Li Zhuzi arrived. He helped Li Jin to carry things onto the ox cart and remained silent.
Li Jin was holding the little bun, and Qin Muwen was holding the rice cereal that the little bun wanted to eat and drink on the road.
Everyone in the village also knew the news. In the early morning, basically everyone came out.
Although Li Jin is not a member of their clan, and his surname is not Li, but everyone is in the same village, and the level of intimacy is better than that of a clan.
"A Jin, next year's entrance exam will be a master scholar!"
"A Jin must be titled on the Gold List!"
There are even children's wishes: "Uncle A Jin can eat delicious braised pork every day!"
Li Jin also returned greetings to everyone: "Uncle Dahe, don't always smoke in the future. When your throat is uncomfortable, let Brother Da Zhuang take the prescription I prescribed last time to Xinglintang to get medicine."
"Brother Erniu, you..."
"And Da Hei, I hope you can live a life of eating braised pork every day in the future."
After saying this, Li Jin waved to everyone, and when he raised his feet again, his eyes were full of tears.
But he still took one step at a time, holding the child and walking out of the village firmly.
When Li Jin got on the boat, Li Zhuzi said silently all the way: "You go to Fucheng, you have to pay attention to dealing with people, don't be bullied. Even if you are bullied, brother can't help you find your way back... "
Li Jin said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Brother Zhuzi for your concern. I will pay attention to dealing with my classmates. You can rest assured, Brother Zhuzi."
"Well, if your mother is still alive, I must be very happy to see you so promising."
Not long after the boat left the shore, Li Jin stood on the bow, looking at Li Zhuzi who was secretly wiping her tears on the shore, her tears couldn't help falling.
The little bun looked at Li Jin shedding tears and widened his eyes, which made the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows especially cute.
"Whisper!"
He called twice, seeing that although Li Jin stopped crying, he still didn't laugh, and he didn't kiss himself as usual, so he could only turn his head to ask for help: "Ahhh! Hah!"
Qin Muwen was actually beside Li Jin all the time. He was holding a bowl of hot soup in his hand, but now the wind was blowing, and the temperature was just enough for the entrance.
"Husband, have some soup."
After Li Jin took it, he entered the cabin with him. Earlier, Li Jin greeted the boatman and said that he would charter a boat today. The owner kept the cabins clean.
More than half of the cabin was filled with luggage, but there was still some open space. Li Jin sat down directly and drank the hot soup.
Qin Muwen said, "Don't be too sad, husband, Baozi and I will always be by your side."
Li Jin clasped his shoulder tightly with one hand and nodded: "Fortunately, there are you guys."
Qin Muwen whispered, "If A Jin feels lonely, does she still want another child? Me, I..."
Li Jin's heart softened because of the little husband's words.
"I don't want to worry about the next child for now. The bun is still so small. I don't want you to be too tired."
Qin Muwen muttered in a low voice, "I'm not tired."
Li Jin looked at him: "Do you want to give birth?"
Qin Muwen nodded and said, "Well, I want to give Xiaobaozi another brother."
Seeing that Li Jin didn't speak, he asked again, "Does Ah Jin like girls? But it seems that it is difficult for my brother to have girls..."
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking, Li Jin gave Qin Muwen a quick kiss on the face, and said sternly, "Wenwen, you are not allowed to tempt me like this in the future."
Qin Muwen's face is unclear, so he really feels that he is comforting his husband very seriously, and by the way, he is discussing the matter of having another child...
