Chapter 12: New residence

The village chief took some of his old bed mats and two old quilts, a small bag of coarse grains, and sent these three people to the west of Xishan Village, in front of the house at the foot of the mountain, and left.
Before An Xiaojiu, An Xiaoqi, and Qing Niang had time to take a closer look at the house, they heard a child's words.
"Well, are you going to be our neighbors?"
When An Xiaojiu turned around, she saw a little boy, about five or six years old, leaning forward from behind a clump of bamboo, looking at them with a pair of big eyes.
The eyes were black and white, innocent and clear.
At first glance, it makes people feel good.
An Xiaojiu recognized the little boy and replied: "Xiao Anan, Huan doesn't welcome us to be your neighbors."
The original owner was often beaten by Yang and Jingniang. After each beating, he would run to the creek at the foot of the mountain and cry.
A few hundred meters into the stream, there was a resident. It is not a villager in Xishan Village. There is nothing to do with people in the village alone.
The head of the household was an old man in his fifties. Everyone called him Rong Rong, a six-year-old young grandson Rong An, and a 25-year-old nephew Rong Jing.
Because Rong Jing had been a soldier, he had scars on his face, and he was silent, so no one had come to say pro.
This grandfather has been living like this for a long time, but Rong Rong's bamboo puppet skills are good, and Rong Jing will hunt again, so this grandfather's life is not bad.
Rong An, who cares for her, will know it.
Rong An also recognized the arrival of An Xiaojiu, and jumped out from behind the bamboo. She took An Xiaojiu's hand with joy, and was very happy. Did I play? "
The child's black and white eyes were full of longing.
An Xiaojiu's heart was sour.
Uncle Rong doesn't interact with people in the village very much, so the children in the village don't play with Rong An. In addition, the scars on Rong Jing's face scare the children from coming to Rong An, so Rong'an Very lonely, only after meeting An Xiaojiu became friends.
"Yes, my sister will always play with you."
"An'an." Uncle Rong's voice came over. After a while, Uncle Rong came over, watching An Xiaojiu, An Xiaojiu and Qingniang, and asked, "Do you need help?"
An Xiaoqi quickly waved his hands. "It's not a problem, let's clean up ourselves."
"This house has been unoccupied for more than ten years. It will be very tide if you live in it, otherwise you will live in my house for two days first? There is an empty house in my house, and the three of you can live together."
Mr. Rong Xu was because of Rong'an's sake, he was very kind to An Xiaojiu.
An Xiaojiu also refused, "No need, it's too troublesome for Rong Rong, we just burn more fires."
"Um." Uncle Rong responded and said nothing, took Rong'an's hand and left.
"Xiao Jiu, you haven't told me yet, you ..." An Xiaoqi looked at Qing Niang, and stopped talking to An Xiaojiu.
An Xiaojiu laughed and explained: "Sister, I met the nobleman, please the nobleman save you, but I also promised, in exchange, to give the nobleman 200,000 silver for five years. This is that A noble sent to help us. "
An Xiaoqi is not stupid, naturally knows why Qingniang came.
just……
"Two hundred thousand two?" An Xiaoqi exclaimed, looking anxiously and tugging An Xiaojiu, "Little nine, isn't that two hundred thousand two too many? How about two or five years ..." "
The farmer's family can't spend twenty-two dollars a year.

In the same way, I can't make much money. The 200,000 yuan of silver ... I'm afraid I can't make it?
"It's okay, sister, you believe me." An Xiaojiu squeezed An Xiaoqi's hand and said seriously, "Moreover, compared with you and my life, 200,000 is not much."
This reason convinced An Xiaoqi.
Indeed, compared with life, these 200,000 yuan are really not much.
Although it seems to An Xiaoqi, earning 200,000 silver in five years is tantamount to foolish dreaming, but anyway, isn't it?
It's better than spending the rest of my life in that kind of place.
"Qing Niang, you ..." An Xiaojiu looked at Qing Niang and didn't feel any disgust, but he didn't know how to arrange Qing Niang.
Qing Niang smiled heartily, "I fled from the south. The family died on the road, leaving me alone. I was bought by the young master a few days ago. The young master said, let me be like you , Just live together. "
Of course, you also have to watch An Xiaojiu don't run away.
For Lu Li, in fact, An Xiaojiu was just a pleasure, and it was precisely because it was a pleasure that he became interested.
"Just you two treat me as a distant relative." Qing Niang said generously.
"Okay, then my sister and I will call you Aunt Qing."
After the discussion, An Xiaojiu began to look at the house.
The house is not large, there is no courtyard wall, just a fence wall
There are two adobe houses, juxtaposed, facing the door is the cooker room, and to the east of the cooker room is a room, which should be inhabited.
An Xiaojiu didn't go in to see, there was a thatched house, a shed, and a well in the courtyard.
"Come on, Xiaojiu, you actually have a thatched house behind you." After looking into the room, An Xiaoqi found a small door in the stove. After opening the door, there was a small house inside. .
It is a thatched house. Although it is relatively sturdy, it is very small. It is a next to the wall of the stove. However, this ridge is a bit narrow and very long.
Then in the two corners were two large vertical cabinets, with a door in the middle, and a small window to the east of the urn.
An Xiaojiu went over, opened the door and took a look. The back was quite empty, and it was surrounded by a fence. It looked like it was a vegetable before.
Qing Niang said with a smile: "There are still crickets here, it's fine, then I'll sleep here, you two sisters live in that main house."
"This is not good, this room is too small ..." An Xiaoqi said with some concern.
Qing Niang waved her heartily and said with a big laugh: "What is this? On the way to famine, if you can live and eat, that's just dreaming."
For those who are used to suffering, the conditions here are good.
An Xiaojiu thought about it and agreed.
This way, she will also be convenient.
"Come, let's start packing." Qing Niang lowered her things, said her sleeves and said, "I'll go to that thatched house to see if there is any firewood or something. We should burn the fire first, so that the cricket is hot, but it's a bit hot. . "
"it is good."
An Xiaojiu and An Xiaoqi smiled.
They are about to clean up their new home.
