Bai Taotao smiled and said: "It's the Chinese New Year, so I can't give New Year's gifts to my parents' family. I can't just give them to people who are celebrating the New Year."

At this time, the rule of the New Year is to give all the gifts before the New Year. During the New Year, you only need to go directly to pay New Year greetings.

If you can't walk there, or it's far away, it doesn't matter if you don't have to go.

When Bai Taotao said this, Bai Chuan smiled sheepishly and said, "Haha... It's not like I didn't react."

"If I don't talk about it now, you won't forget about my second sister-in-law's natal family, right?"

"No, no, I've been with your second sister-in-law for so many years, and I will definitely never forget to give you New Year's gifts every year. On your side, it's not because you are only getting married in the second year, and giving New Year's gifts in the first year is the same as returning home. , so it’s not like I didn’t react.”

"That's pretty much it. Then when you return to the village, send me a letter, and I'll go over and deliver the New Year's gift, saving you a trip in vain."

"Okay. You eat something first. After the water boils, the hot water bottle will change the hot water for you. Then you go to your sister-in-law and they go shopping together." Bai Chuan said and brought a bowl of her favorite food to Baitaotao. Dumplings stuffed with wild shepherd's purse and meat.

There was also a lying egg inside for her.

After eating, Bai Taotao took a hot hot water bottle and went to the rented courtyard to find her sisters-in-law.

But as soon as I entered the small courtyard, there was an old woman standing in the courtyard.

I know this old woman, Bai Taotao, who is the owner of this courtyard. She is also the owner of another courtyard that the second brother and second sister-in-law first shared with others. It was Boss Zhu who introduced her to her.

Later, Bai Taotao handed over the braised food business to Bai Zhou. After Bai Zhou came to the county with her three daughters-in-law, they changed the yard. Unexpectedly, the landlord was Granny Qiu again.

Although she was still in confinement, her sister-in-law mentioned these things when she came to see her.

Granny Qiu is a very nice and kind person. As soon as Bai Taotao entered the house, she greeted her with a smile, "Grandma Qiu is here, why don't you go sit in the house."

Granny Qiu replied with a smile on her face: "No, I'll just tell your mother something and leave. Madam Chen hasn't shown up for a long time. Have you finished confinement?"

Bai Taotao nodded, "Yes. Since Granny Qiu has something to tell my mother, let's talk while I go into the house to find my sister-in-law and the others."

After saying that, Bai Taotao went into the house.

After Bai Taotao left, Granny Qiu said to Mrs. Bai Zhou who was cleaning up the yard: "I have no choice. My grandson is in a hurry to use money. I have no choice, so I have to think about selling the yard." ”

Bai Zhou also knew that there was nothing they could do, but she was also in a dilemma, so she said: "But you are too sudden. If you say you don't want to rent, you won't rent. You have to ask us to move out today. We will be here for a while." Where to go to find a house, if you want to give us a few days, it's okay."

Bai Taotao, who had just entered the house, happened to hear the conversation between Granny Qiu and Mrs. Bai Zhou, so she turned back and asked, "Grandma Qiu, are you preparing to sell this house or have it already been sold?"

Granny Qiu knew who Bai Taotao was, so she answered with a smile: "The buyer paid some deposit and said he would vacate the house today, so that they can give the remaining money."

"That means the deal hasn't been completed yet. In this case, you return the deposit to the other party. We will buy the yard and pay for the formalities now." "Tao, no, no." Bai Zhou didn't want to take advantage of her daughter again. , quickly refused.

And now that the son-in-law is back, it becomes even more difficult.

They don't want the couple to be embarrassed because their daughter is subsidizing their parents' family.

When Granny Qiu heard this, she smiled and said, "You have such a filial daughter. She is willing to buy this yard for you. You accept it in a down-to-earth manner. It won't be a good life!"

Bai Taotao nodded in agreement: "That's right. At the beginning, I said I would buy a yard to live in and live in a down-to-earth manner, but the two elders were unwilling. I said I would wait until they make money before buying."

Granny Qiu: "Buy early or buy late, it's not the same as buying, so why bother paying for the extra rent? If you can raise such a filial daughter, you must be good to your children. Children are grateful. , when you grow up and have the ability, you will not forget your parents, brother, when this child is filial to you, you should not be so clear-cut, so as not to hurt the child. "

Bai Taotao: "Mom, you see, Granny Qiu has many insights, but don't hurt my filial piety towards you. Since this yard will be bought sooner or later, if you buy it early, you can save a lot of rent money. This money Wouldn’t it be better to save some money and buy school supplies for Zhengwen and Zhengqi later?”

Seeing that her daughter had a firm attitude, Mrs. Bai Zhou had already said so. She couldn't shirk it anymore and make others laugh. The money used to buy the yard should be returned to her daughter and son-in-law when she earns money.

"Then let's talk inside. It's cold outside. Be careful of catching a cold."

Mrs. Bai Zhou nodded, and Bai Taotao helped her into the house with Granny Qiu.

Xu Daya, who had already prepared the tea, saw everyone entering the room, so she followed them back into the room, and then poured bowls of sweet rice wine and tea to everyone.

After Granny Qiu finished drinking the sweet rice wine and tea, Bai Taotao slowly spoke: "Grandma Qiu, how much money are you prepared to spend on this yard?"

Granny Qiu looked up at everyone, and then replied: "You knew about my yard when you rented it. Although it doesn't have a shop, the street in front of the yard is the main street. You can get there through the small alley next to it, and it's convenient for doing things. . There is an academy at the back, so it will be convenient for the children at home to study in the future. You can also inquire about the house prices in this area, so I don’t need to lie to you. In this case, for three hundred and forty taels, this courtyard will be yours."

They had learned about the house prices in this area when they first rented a house. They were basically between 330 taels and 350 taels. This was one of the reasons why the Bai Zhou couple were unwilling to buy a yard.

Grandma Qiu's asking price of three hundred and forty taels is reasonable, discounted to the middle price.

And based on the location of her house, there are actually a lot of people buying it for 350 taels. After all, there is an academy not far behind.

It is very convenient whether you live on your own or rent it out.

In addition, the yard is quite large, with a main room, a main room plus two side rooms, and four side rooms, which are enough for their family.

The yard in the middle is also very large. After buying this yard, they can dig a deep underground water well in the corner of the yard, so that the family can use water conveniently in the future.

Bai Taotao nodded and said, "Well, when I rented this house, I heard from my sister-in-law that the rent was for one year, which is eighteen taels. But my parents have only lived here for more than a month. In a few days, there is no need to refund the remaining money. I will give you another three hundred and twenty taels to Granny Qiu, and this house will belong to us. Do you think this will work?"

After hearing this, Granny Qiu calculated carefully in her mind, and realized that it was only three hundred and twenty taels less, so she did not bargain any more, so she said: "Sure, just as you said, just give me another three hundred and twenty taels." ." (End of chapter)
