Chapter 14 Moving into a New Home
In an open space about five meters away from the courtyard wall in the backyard, three grapefruit trees, two longan trees, a yellow fruit tree, two lychee trees, and two peach trees were planted.

Zhao Xiang circled a small piece of land and said that he would plant a few bamboo trees at that time.

At this point, the family finally has a family and has officially taken root in Lingnan.

On the day they moved into the new house, the hearts of the whole family fell to the ground, and they felt at ease like never before.

After everything was sorted out at home, Zhao Liya asked someone to dig a well.

It was also lucky that the well diggers were optimistic about the place and chose the backyard. After drilling down less than two meters, there was water. Now, it will be much more convenient to use water in the future.

These six taels of silver are well worth the money.

At Zhao Liya's request, Aunt Li Shiyi did not go back for the time being and stayed at Zhao's house.

What Zhao Liya said was very pitiful. My family has no foundation here, and I don't have anyone to help me out. I'm afraid it will be easy to get into trouble. Moreover, Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin are still young, and their mother is weak, so it is difficult to take care of them. I don't have time to work, so I asked Aunt Li Shiyi to stay for a while and help out.

Of course, Aunt Li Shishi was willing to stay and help, including food and lodging, and a monthly salary of [-] Wen.

Aunt Li Shiyi agreed without much hesitation.

The Zhao family is good, and she and the Deng family can get along pretty well. These two little children are even more sweet-talking and cute. Aunt Li is actually willing to stay.

What's more, her husband has passed away long ago, and her daughter got married a few years ago, and she is the only one in the family. Life is not easy, and it is very boring.

Being able to stay in Zhao's house, where there are many people, the atmosphere is good, and you can get paid, where can you find such a good job?

Deng was very familiar with them, and was very happy to see her agree.

Aunt Li Shiyi went back to pack a few clothes that day, entrusted someone to take care of the vegetable garden at home, and came happily.

And early in the morning, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling went to the city again.

Although most of the things in the house have been added properly, there are still some things that need to be bought.

In Zhao Liya's words, if you don't take advantage of this time to purchase quickly, it will be inconvenient to purchase in the future.

They have already sent out words to cry about being poor, saying that they have spent all the money in the family and have no money in order to build the house firmly!

Then at least make it look like you have no money in the future.

The Gu family is still holding back their energy and looking for something to do. The money is too eye-catching, so they must not buy it frequently.

So today, Zhao Liya bought another [-] catties of rice, various seasonings of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, herbal tea herbs, anti-mosquito and heat stroke and other common medicines, fine cotton cloth, coarse cloth, kudzu cloth, needles and threads, etc. also bought a lot.

The fine cotton is cut into a middle coat and worn inside, and the coarse cloth clothes are put on outside, and two patches can be made after a while.

I also bought [-] adult chickens and kept them in the coop. They should be able to lay eggs in a short time, and I can kill one if I want to eat meat.

She wanted to buy ducks at first, but there were no ducks for sale.

The two hired a bullock cart to bring a cart full of supplies home. Instead of going directly into the village, they unloaded all the goods and piled them next to the path, and then carried them back from the path one after another, and entered the yard through the back door.

Fortunately, their family lived on the edge of the village and no one saw them.

So far, plus Zhao Liya's planned purchase of supplies during the construction of the house, they now have more than [-] catties of rice, which can last for almost four months.

[-] catties each of sun-dried soybeans, red beans, mung beans, and peanuts.Kohlrabi, pickled vegetables, dried vegetables, etc. are stored in a row of knee-high jars in the small storage room next to the kitchen.There are also dried fungus, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried tofu skin, dried sea fish, eggs, etc.

It's a pity that it's just entering June, so there's no way to store meat.Otherwise, Zhao Liya would buy half a fan of pork and store it up to eat slowly.

Don't panic if you have food in your hand, you can pretend to be poor in a low-key manner.

At noon, Aunt Li Shiyi came.

The Zhao family's main house and the wing rooms on the east and west sides are two-story buildings. The bedrooms of Zhao Xiang and Deng's couple, Zhao Liya, and Zhao Lixiang are all on the upper floor of the main house.

Hu Ling took Zhao Lin to live in the upstairs bedroom of the East Wing.

There is another bedroom upstairs in the main room, so Aunt Li Shiyi is invited to live in it.

The Zhao family wanted to make friends with Aunt Li Shiyi and Zaihu Village behind her, so naturally they refused to treat her badly.

Aunt Li Shiyi was very happy, and after a few excuses, she stayed.

The house built of blue bricks is clean and tidy. In the bedroom, there is a bed with a white cotton gauze mosquito net, a rectangular table beside the bed, a large wardrobe, and a chest of drawers, all of which are new.

Now that the house is finished, it's time to fence in the vegetable garden.

There is a large open space at the door, and vegetables can be grown by surrounding it to open up wasteland.

The next morning, Zhao Liya was going to go up the mountain to chop bamboo and vines to surround the vegetable garden, but Zhao Xiang insisted that she should go by herself, "Your girl is at home, let dad do this kind of hard work! Although dad can't, But I gradually learned that these things must be learned sooner or later."

Zhao Liya thinks it makes sense, her father is not yet 40 years old, and sooner or later she will be able to do farm work in this place!

"Okay, then you start slowly and be careful."

"Hehe, don't worry, your father is learning quickly!"

Hu Ling also smiled and said: "With me here, I will take good care of my adoptive father."

Zhao Liya's heart warmed, and she smiled brightly: "Well, it's lucky to have brother here!"

So, after breakfast, Zhao Xiang and Hu Ling went to chop bamboo and wood with hatchets on their backs.

Aunt Li Shiyi couldn't stay idle, so she looked for a hoe and a sickle, "Let's tidy up the land first, and it will be ready for planting when it is fenced. Oh, this season is going to pass, don't hurry, there is nothing to plant , have to wait until autumn"

Zhao Liya took it very seriously: "Aunt Eleven is right, let's open the land!"

It’s the beginning of June now, and the cucumbers, eggplants, beans, lettuce, corn, pumpkin, loofah, etc. in other people’s vegetable fields have all blossomed and fruited, and many things have passed the season for planting.

But the vegetable field still has to be opened, so what can be planted.

When Mrs. Deng saw it, she told the two children to play in the yard and was not allowed to go out, and she also wanted to help.

Before Zhao Liya could say anything, Aunt Li Shiyi stopped her with a "hey" smile: "Sister, you should stay at home and watch the children, don't be tired of the work in the field."

Deng hurriedly said: "Then how can I do it? I also have to do the work at home!"

"Mother," Zhao Liya said with a smile: "We have worked so hard all the way from the capital. You are not in good health. Take a break first, take it easy, and then work after a while. Otherwise, what if Wouldn't it be worse if you were sick?"

Aunt Li Shiyi nodded: "Yes, that's right, what Aya said is right, sister, don't be brave. The work in the field is not easy, you should rest first!"
