happy apocalypse

Chapter 20 I bought a house in the mountains
Living in the city since I was a child, what I saw all day long was the bustling scene of people coming and going, and I never really experienced rural life.In just two days, I really experienced the unpretentious country style.

At six or seven o'clock in the morning, just as the sun showed its eyes, the industrious rooster began to blow the horn in the morning, and some housekeeping puppies barked "Wow, woof" not to be outdone.The whole small village is shrouded in a layer of mist, and wisps of cooking smoke curl up from the chimney. The scenery gives people the feeling of simplicity and nature!My mood also calmed down.

We walked with my aunt on the dirt road to Lao Jiatou's house, admiring the beauty of the countryside.

After walking for a while, the house is at the east end of the village, the closest to the forest.

The whole house is similar to my aunt's house.It's bigger than my aunt's house.The courtyard wall is the same as that of my aunt's house. It is a wooden fence, a kind of courtyard wall that prevents chickens and ducks from bad people.

I sentenced it to death in my heart, this kind of courtyard wall is not practical in the last days.This will have to be changed in the future, as there are so many secrets in our house, the fence needs to be changed to a taller one, which can block all eyes with bad intentions.It is also necessary to change to a strong gate to prevent all wolves, tigers and leopards from attacking.

We pushed open the fence gate and entered the yard, which was still quite large.My aunt introduced to us, "The one on the left is a chicken rack. In two days, I will ask you for a few chicks. They will grow up after a month, and they will be able to lay eggs next year. I will raise them for you when you are not around." , when you come back, catch them and raise them for play.” I looked at the place my aunt pointed at, and it was okay, I can have this, my son hasn’t raised chickens yet!

"This is the pigsty. When your mother comes to live here, I will catch two piglets for her. When they grow up, they can be killed and eaten. Don't worry if you raise them yourself." It can be, let’s not talk about how people will have extra food to feed pigs in the future, just talk about the smell, the summer is so hot, I don’t want to be suffocated to death, it’s better to completely eradicate it, plant two fruit trees in this place, just plant pomegranates and persimmons .Pomegranates represent a house full of gold and jade, with many children and grandchildren.Persimmon represents a lifetime.What a good meaning.

"It's a warehouse like ours. It can store a lot of sundries." I know this. I see that my aunt's house has grain, mountain products, firewood and so on.

My aunt went to the warehouse, scratched the ground, and opened a small board, "There is a cellar here, where all the winter vegetables are stored."

Hey, this is a surprise. "Auntie, do we have any?" I walked over and looked at the entrance of the cellar.It was so dark down there that I couldn't see anything.

"Yes, it's also in the warehouse, and it's not very useful at ordinary times." Auntie took the lead to climb down the ladder.Turn on the light in the cellar, the cellar is only 20 cubic meters, the size of a room.

I saw this cellar and came up with an idea.We can dig an ice cellar under the house, and discuss this with Jiang Zhi when we go back.

Jiang Zhi was also very interested in this cellar, went back and forth twice, but went up with us without saying anything.

My aunt took us into the house again to earn a round. The house is quite big, the kitchen and dining room are in the main room, and there are two large rooms on the left and right. room.The inner room is slightly larger than the outer room, and the layout of the two large rooms is the same.This is equivalent to having four rooms, but it is a bit inconvenient to get in and out of the inner room, and you have to go through the outer room, but this can be changed.If necessary, it is entirely possible to convert two connected rooms into two separate rooms.If we live at home, we live outside, and it is just right to contain the inside.Oh, I miss my son a little bit.

I am not very satisfied with the kitchen and dining room being in the main room. When I come to live by myself in the future, I will build another house next to the warehouse as the kitchen, and the stove will also be a new type.

Thinking about my own thoughts, I walked out of the house with my aunt and the others, planning to visit the backyard.

As soon as he left the house, he saw a young man wandering around outside the fence.

My aunt recognized that it was Li Feng, the son of old man Li in this village.

My aunt asked, "Li Feng, what do you do?"

Li Feng looks disgusting in his eyes, this is my first impression of him.Just looking at the face, this person looks pretty good, with a square face and thick flesh, giving people a simple and honest feeling.

"It's okay, I'm just passing by." Li Feng came back with a stiff tone, and my aunt said a word, then ignored us and walked to the village.

The aunt said angrily: "I can't tell a lie. This is at the head of the village. Where can I pass by here?"

It seems that my aunt doesn't like this Li Feng very much.My heart of gossip was ready to move, so I took my aunt's arm and asked, "Auntie, who is this?"

"He is the second son of Old Man Li in our village, he is always playing tricks, no one is the sixth.

I used to go out to work with people from our village, but he came back after not working for a long time, saying that he thought the job had no future and quit. We were still thinking about it, even if there was no future, it would be better than staying in the village It's better to face the loess and back to the sky every year, it's better than going up the mountain to work hard.

As a result, those who went to work in the same village came back, and we didn't know what was going on.It turned out that he had been stealing, raping, and playing tricks all day after he went there, and he didn't work hard. He stole and sold materials from other people's construction sites at night, and was discovered by his boss, who wanted to send him to the police station. Even crying and howling begging others, they saw him as pitiful, so they didn't bother with him, just let him lose the money and it was over.

He had no money and no place to go, so he returned to the village. "

"Then tell me, what does it mean for him to come today? I don't think he seems to be passing by." Eyes are the window to the soul. You can see whether a person is upright, but you can't look at the appearance. Appearance is very deceiving. Look at the eyes.I was smug that I could recognize Li Feng as a wolf instead of a sheep at first sight.

"It's hard to say." The aunt was also very confused, "Could it be that he wants to buy this house, he can't, and I haven't heard of it!"

We can't guess Li Feng's intentions here, so we don't want to worry about it anymore.

We then went to see the backyard, which was so big that it was as big as a basketball court.It used to be a vegetable field, but now it is overgrown with weeds, and there are only a few stubbles left on the land.I think it would be nice to set up a greenhouse here.

The house is basically finished. There is nothing in the house except the kang. I don’t know who took the big black pot on the stove. That’s fine. If it stays, I don’t know what to do with it. , is used by others, I Fan Geying.Don't keep it here, just throw away the good things, isn't it a waste, the **** said that waste is a crime.So it's best like this now, if we want to come and live, we'll have to buy everything from scratch.

Before we went back to my aunt's house after seeing the house, I took out the tape measure I had prepared in advance, and measured the size of the kang and the windows one by one, planning to go back and ask Mama Qu to make a few thick kang quilts.

Back at my aunt's house, we went to pick up the village chief and went to the county to go through the transfer procedures.

We also told the village head that Li Feng also went to Lao Jiatou’s house today, and the village head told us that Li Feng’s father also wanted to buy this house.

It turned out that old Litou wanted to buy a house for Li Feng to marry a wife, so he fell in love with Lao Jiatou's house, but he thought it was too expensive, so he wanted to wait, thinking that if no one bought it after a while, the village would have to be cheaper If it is sold, he will buy it again at that time.Unexpectedly, we, Cheng Xiaojin, came out halfway, and settled the house without saying anything after asking the price.

He went to Lao Jiatou's house today, probably to see if we are not satisfied with the house.

Didn't realize we had competitors!

We really can't do anything about this, and we can't stop us from buying it because you think it's too expensive. We don't think it's too expensive.

There is someone above the village chief. Under the leadership of our acquaintances, we quickly completed the formalities.In the county, I had a banquet with the village head and the people he invited to help, and then separated after a lunch, because we had to buy some things in the county, and we had to go to the bank to "draw up" money to pay off Chen Cuihua's debt, ha~ha ~
There is a bazaar on the small street we visited today, it is very lively and sells everything.

As we walked and strolled, we stopped to look at things we hadn’t seen before, and bought them for fun or future use.When I saw the snacks I hadn’t eaten, I bought more of each and brought them back to my aunt and the others. I also gave out a small portion, which I put in the ring as a gift for my son.

In a corner of the market, we found something that can be used in the space, bamboo baskets.The kind of barrel-shaped basket whose mouth is slightly larger than the bottom.Now we still use plastic bags to store vegetables and fruits in the space, which is not easy to use, and we can’t hold things that are afraid of being pressed, such as strawberries.So if the price is right, we should buy more spares.

Walking to the stall selling bamboo baskets, I saw bamboo baskets of many sizes on the stall. The smallest was a small basket with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 5 cm. The largest was a large bamboo basket with a diameter of about 80 cm and a height of 80 cm.There are also different shapes, garden ones, square ones, and there are many types.When I saw these things, I couldn’t move forward. Look at this one is cute, and that one is also cute. What should I do?

I look at the shape, while Jiang Zhi looks at the quality and practicality.He saw that the bamboo baskets here should be made by machines and of good quality, so he chatted with the seller.

After understanding, the stall owner can provide a large number of high-quality and cute bamboo baskets, so we negotiated a good price and went to the factory to get the goods with him. This time we bought 3000 bamboo baskets from Everbright. They are small, cute and practical. (Square flat ones can be used to hold strawberries or eggs, which is very good and practical.) I also bought a lot of bamboo baskets.Jiang Zhi also said that he knew that there were people selling bamboo baskets in Tashan Village, but they were all handmade, and the weaving speed was very slow, so they could not be supplied in large quantities.But if we don’t have enough bamboo baskets in the future, we can also make a reservation with him, as long as we don’t need them in a hurry.

I also want to pickle some salted duck eggs in the space, pickle some sauerkraut, kimchi, and pickles in winter, and make some homemade fruit wine, white wine, etc. All these need a container, which is a "tank".We didn't find it in the market, but bought it in a hardware store on the street. We rounded up all the tanks for others, including those in the warehouse.

I was dumbfounded looking at these things in the ring, Jiang Zhi patted my head, "Why are you silly, this is not a good thing."

"Who said that this is very useful, and it solves a big problem for me. You don't even know that every time I go into the space to pick up eggs, I have to be careful, lest I break one. Now there is this kind of basket , it would be much more convenient for me."

"Why don't I go do the farm work." Jiang Zhi took my hand distressedly, trying to find the traces of hard work all day from my soft and fair palm, but he was disappointed.Although I do farm work every day, picking vegetables and picking eggs, my hands are still very tender.

"No, you can't take my job." I said firmly, this is my pleasure, I am a stingy person, I like picking vegetables in the field, I like picking eggs on the grass, I like harvesting that feeling. "You can only do your own work." I left all the things I didn't like to do to Jiang Zhi. He is now responsible for collecting fish, honey, and all heavy work in the space, such as digging pits and feeding puppies.

Jiang Zhi was speechless in the face of me.
