Chapter 8 Buying a House
It wasn't until dark that Jiang He returned home with a cold body.

Ning made ginger tea and warmed it in the pot. When he came back, he quickly served it to him, and then asked Jiang Ning to serve hot dishes and rice on the table.

Seeing that his wife and daughter hadn't eaten, Jiang He quickly told them not to wait for him next time, but to eat when they are hungry, and don't starve themselves just to wait for him.

Ning smiled and said that they would not treat her badly, and then asked about Jiang He's visit to the county today.

Speaking of this, Jiang He beamed with joy: "What a coincidence today, when I was looking for Ren Yazi, I happened to meet a seller who was telling Ren Yazi about selling a house. situation, it turned out that the location, size, and price of the other party's house were quite suitable, and then I followed the seller to take a look at it on the spot, and I was immediately moved."

"That house is a two-entry courtyard. There are more than a dozen rooms in the front and back. It is very spacious, and it is in the middle of the best medical center and county academy in the county. It is close to any direction. And that area, Most of the residents are scholars, the security is good, and it is quiet.”

"The seller, his son was admitted as a scholar this year, and then he went to Fucheng Academy to study, because he and his wife were worried that his son would study in Fucheng alone, so they sold all their property except this house. We moved to Fucheng together, but who knew that Fucheng cost too much, and the seller failed in business again, so he had to come back and sell the house."

Upon hearing this, Ning asked the seller how much silver he planned to sell.
Although she hadn't seen the house yet, she was a little moved when she heard what her husband said.

Jiang He chuckled: "The seller asked for 20 taels, and the base price was 18 taels, but in the end I cut it down to 16 taels, and I also gave away the current things in the house."

"At the beginning, he left this house because he planned to come back for the elderly in the future, so the furniture in the house is still complete. We only need to clean it a little bit, buy some pots and pans, and bring our own things to move in."

"I came back so late today because I cleaned the house roughly after completing the business procedures. I want to go back tomorrow to clean the house carefully, and then add some things, so that I can wait for you soon." When it’s time for delivery, we can move in anytime.”

Ning heard the words: "Then Ning'er and I will go with you tomorrow. First, we will take a look at the house, and second, we will help clean the house together so that it will be faster."

Jiang He shook his head: "Let me go alone. You can go after I have cleaned up the house and added everything. Then we will sleep there at night, so that you won't be tired from running back and forth all day."

Jiang Ning reminded his father when he heard the words: "We agreed yesterday that today I will be with my mother at home, will you be with my mother tomorrow?"

Jiang He: "Isn't there a reason for this? When Dad finishes packing up the house in the county seat, he will take you and your mother to the county seat. It will only take a day or two. Why don't you wait a little longer?"

Ning said: "It's your birthday in a few days, why don't we wait for your father to clean up the house, let's stay in the county for a few more days, and then when it's your birthday, let's go to the best restaurant in the county to have dinner How is it?"

Jiang Ning: "...OK."

Speaking of the best restaurant in the county, Jiang Ning remembered that when Fu Changqing was a scholar in his previous life, he went to the restaurant in the county to treat guests to dinner. She spent her hard-earned money, but she didn't let her go with her, even though she packed two When the food came back, most of it went into the mouths of the Fu family, but she only tasted one flavor.

I have to say the taste is really good.

Maybe it's because it's rare, so she can't forget it even more.

She once vowed to go to the best restaurant in the county to have a meal, but unfortunately she failed to do so until she died.

After all, after Fu Changqing passed the exam, she spent even more money after she went to Fucheng to study. The money she earned was taken away by her mother-in-law every time before it was warmed up. No matter how much money she made, it would never be enough. How could she have the money to go to the best restaurant in the county? How about a meal?

Now that I think about it, she is really stupid, so stupid.

When she was desperately working hard to make money, Fu Changqing took her money and was unrestrained in Fucheng. Fu Changqing's mother and younger sister often called her poor, but they didn't know how many small troubles they started in private. She died of a cold.

Thinking of that old woman from the Fu family, Jiang Ning felt her fist harden.

She'd better not bump into her in this life, otherwise she won't show mercy.

The next morning, Jiang He went out again before dawn. After spending half a day cleaning the houses in the county thoroughly, Jiang He bought some pots, pans and daily necessities.

Considering that his family would occasionally come to the county to stay in the county and couldn’t carry big bags, Jiang He bought a few more quilts and a change of clothes. They will go to live in the county tomorrow.

When Ning heard the words, she immediately packed up her things with great interest.

Jiang He told her not to clean up: "I have added pots and pans, daily necessities, quilts, and a change of clothes. You can go to the county tomorrow to see if there is anything missing, let's buy it directly." That is, don’t take the things at home with you. If you take them so far away, do you have to bring them back when you come back? Trouble.”

Jiang Ning also nodded in agreement: "Since the county has settled down, it should have all the things ready, so that we can live there anytime, but we can't move things once."

Ning thought it was reasonable, but she wanted to take some bacon and pickles away: "We'll be staying for a few days, so we can't buy everything, can we? Besides, when I go back to production, I have to bring these things. Anyway, salty goods are not easy. Bad, we can take some of it first."

Jiang Ning wanted to say that confinement should have a bland taste and that salty foods should not be eaten, but after thinking about it, she felt that a ten-year-old child like herself should not know this, so she suppressed what she wanted to say.

Fortunately, Jiang He had served Ning's confinement child before, so he knew the details, so he immediately said what Jiang Ning wanted to say.

The salty food is eaten at home, and when they go to the county for a short stay, they buy fresh food to eat. When Ning is in confinement, he and Jiang Ning will bring the salty food to eat, and Ning still wants to eat fresh food of.

Under Jiang He's persuasion, Ning finally brought nothing but her own sewing basket.

When they arrived in the county and saw the new house, both Ning and Jiang Ning showed satisfaction.

Due to time constraints, there are still some things that need to be added at home.

Ning checked the house, and after she had a general idea, she asked her husband to take her to the market.

Jiang He took his wife and daughter out and turned right, and while walking forward, he introduced: "We will pass the medical hall when we walk from here, and we will go back to the direction of the academy. If you are interested, we can go to the academy later. .”

Jiang Ning knew a few characters, which she learned from the Ning family when she was a child. Later, after marrying Fu Changqing, she studied with Fu Changqing for a period of time. Although she couldn't recite poems, she didn't have much problem reading and learning.

In Fu Changqing's words, she is very talented in this area, but it's a pity that she is a daughter.

Later, after Fu's father died, she took on the responsibility of supporting Fu's family. Coupled with Fu Changqing's increasingly busy studies and Fu Changqing's mother's intentional or unintentional stop, she had no time or thought to learn from Fu Changqing.
