Chapter 113 Keeping People
Gu Qingqing, who had heard everything, came over again and said, "Wu Yan, they don't build bamboo houses. Can they find a suitable house in the next half day tomorrow?"
Wen Wuyan was also a little worried. He had just turned his head halfway and was about to talk to Gu Qingqing when he suddenly heard Niu Yuzhu beside him say, "Brother Wuyan, don't worry about this. I have already made an agreement with them. When the three of them come, they can come to my house and squeeze in with me. My room has a big kang and can accommodate several people."
"This, this is inappropriate, right? Do you want to talk to your uncle and aunt first?" Gu Qingqing was surprised by his decision.
Niu Yuzhu chuckled, "I'll go back and tell my parents, don't worry about it, I'm familiar with them, a few grown men can squeeze in together and wait for your small house to be built, then let them come over."
It would be a lie for Wen Wuyan to say that he was not grateful. Not to mention him, even Gu Qingqing looked at Niu Yuzhu with gratitude. After all, they were the ones who recruited these people but were unable to solve their accommodation problem right away. Now that Niu Yuzhu spoke up, it solved a big problem for them.
Niu Yuzhu felt frightened by their gazes and leaned back, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Wen Wuyan slapped Niu Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "I owe you a drink. Let's wait for them to come tomorrow night and drink together. It's a lively drink. As much as you want."
When Niu Yuzhu heard that he could have a drink tomorrow and that he could have as much as he wanted, he immediately nodded excitedly.
He didn't stay here for long. After he finished speaking, he went back.
In the evening, after everyone ate a crystal shrimp dumpling, Wen Wuyan passed the remaining one to Gu Qingqing, who passed it to Dahua, who then passed it to Wen Wuyan.
In Dahua's words: Erhua has eaten today, and she doesn't like this thing either, so let dad and mom share the remaining one.
The corner of Gu Qingqing's mouth twitched. It's just a thing and we have to share it?
When Wen Wuyan was about to give her another one, she glared back at him. Finally, she said, "You are injured, so you can eat one more."
After dinner, Dahua took out the candied haws again.
She gave one to her father and mother, and two to her and Erhua.
That night, Gu Qingqing cut the pig intestines and three pig stomachs into strips and stewed them together, along with two pieces of pig liver and a pig heart.
The pig intestines have been identified by some people, and she is destined to encounter another wave of looting when she goes to the town.
Gu Qingqing still took Erhua to the town, and Wen Wuyan went to Niu Zhanghe alone with a big bowl of pig intestines. Although Niu Yuzhu would tell his family, Wen Wuyan still had to express his gratitude.
"Look at you. They have come from far away, so we should arrange a place for them to stay first. Besides, regardless of whether they come to your house or not, just because Yuzhu knows them, we can't just ignore it!" Niu Zhanghe scolded Wen Wuyan.
Wen Wuyan just kept smiling and finally left his things behind and left.
Before noon, Old Yang and his three companions arrived with their simple luggage.
"Wu Yan, you're great. It's only been a few days and you've already started to plan everything." The voice came before Zhao Dongren entered the yard.
"Uncle Yang, Brother Dong and Brother Xi, you are here. You must have worked hard on the journey. Come in quickly. Dahua, go and bring out the steamed buns from the kitchen." Wen Wuyan first greeted them hurriedly, and then shouted to Dahua who was embroidering in the yard.
When Dahua saw someone coming home, she hurriedly put down her sewing basket and ran to the kitchen.
First, he brought the steamed buns to the table, then the porridge, and then brought out the bowl of pork intestines that mom had left in the morning, and a portion of cabbage and salted radish strips that dad had just fried.
On the other side, Wen Wuyan asked them to put their things down and then asked them to wash their hands and eat.
Zhao Dong had been here before, so he was no longer surprised by where Wen Wuyan lived.
This was Zhao Xi’s first time here, and also the first time Wen Wuyan saw him after he was injured.
He first looked at the yard at the foot of the mountain, and his first question was, "You guys live here?"
Before Wen Wuyan could answer, he said, "Wuyan, you've gained weight!"
Wen Wuyan was shocked!
I subconsciously touched my face and was about to say that I didn't gain weight, but then I remembered that the weight gain was all due to Qingqing's hard work.
He suddenly smiled with a worthless look on his face and said, "My mother always nags me at home, saying that eating more is good for my health. She always tells me to eat more."
Single old Yangtou "......"
Single Zhao Dong "......"
Zhao Xi, who has a wife, "......"
Wen Wuyan didn't feel like he was showing off his affection, and he still greeted them warmly, "Come on, take a seat and eat. Have a bite at noon, and we'll have a good meal in the evening."
After sitting down, Old Yang looked at the pig intestines on the table and first exclaimed, then said, "Then we won't be polite." After saying that, Old Yang picked up the chopsticks and put a piece in his mouth.
His eyes widened instantly, "Wu Yan, you still have this hand? I haven't heard you mention it before."
"Uncle Yang, this is Qingqing Shao, isn't it delicious?"
"This is the skill of the people in your house." After saying this, Old Yang gave Wen Wuyan a thumbs up.
Wen Wuyan was happier to see Qingqing being praised than he was to be praised himself, and said with pride, "Qingqing's cooking is delicious. You will know it after you stay here for a while."
Wen Wuyan and Dahua had eaten in the morning, so they didn't eat now. Just as the three of them started eating, Niu Yuzhu arrived.
While they were eating, Wen Wuyan asked about their plans again.
"To be honest with you, after we build the house for you, if we can find a suitable job in town, we will live here. If not, we will have to go to Shangyang County. We have so many mouths to feed, and we don't ask for good food and drink, but we must at least have enough to eat and wear." Zhao Dong expressed his concerns in front of Wen Wuyan.
Although Zhao Dong and his family were no longer slaves, they were still penniless. They could not buy a house and could only make do with enough food and clothing.
He also wanted to find a place to settle down, but the savings he had were only enough to buy one acre of land.
"Brother Dong, if that's the case, I think you should build bamboo houses first. There are so many of you, and the houses you rent in town are too small to fit in. The monthly rent for a larger yard is estimated to be around one or two taels of silver. You can see that I have nothing else here, but there are still some vacant land. These vacant lands are not suitable for farming, and they are just sitting there. You can build a bamboo house first, so that the rest of you can rent a smaller yard near the town, which can save a lot of rent money."
Seeing that he was still a little hesitant, Wen Wuyan considered it for a while and said, "Brother Dong, why don't we wait for Qingqing to come back and discuss it. I'll tell you something and you can make a decision later. It won't take half a day."
