Chapter 377 The school also teaches Cuju (ancient Chinese football).
The old lady nodded. "Yes, that house is quite close to where he works, about a 15-minute walk away."
"And then what happened?" Lu Erbai asked. "That house is definitely uninhabitable. My third brother has two children at home, and safety is the most important thing. This isn't a village, and there aren't any familiar neighbors. If something happens, people might not even help you."
“That’s what I said too, so I didn’t take that house,” the old lady said. “But there are a few houses for rent in that alley. I went to see them all. One house is a bit small, but it’s enough for their family of four. There was originally only one room, but the landlord added a small room in the yard. Da Bao is older now, so it will be perfect for him to live in that room by himself later.”
The rent is a bit expensive, it costs 200 coins.
But now both the third son and his wife have wages. The third son earns a stable one or two taels of silver a month, and if he's clever enough to get a tip from a customer, he can earn even more. As for his wife, although sewing doll covers is not a stable job, she can take on other odd jobs. Anyway, she's quite good at making money, so they can manage to get by.
"Now the third son's wife is satisfied with this house. She took the initiative to rent it. She had already moved her luggage from the shop to the shop and left it there to tidy up the house."
As an elderly woman, she didn't want to join in the fun, and since she had Quan Quan with her, she went home first.
After the old lady finished speaking, she instructed Da Niu, "After dinner, go to your third uncle's house to sleep. Tell him that your fourth aunt and uncle are back, so he won't have to worry."
Da Niu nodded repeatedly, "I understand, Grandma."
Shu Yu silently looked up at the sky. Would his third uncle worry about this? He might be very angry that Da Niu wanted to move into his house.
The old lady gave a few more instructions, and seeing that it was getting dark, she let Da Niu leave first.
Also leaving were Yuan Shanchuan's family of four. Although the Lu family had three rooms, they were already quite large. Xiao Zhen and Quan Quan, being children, could squeeze in, but with Yuan Shanchuan and Lu Sixing joining them, there was definitely not enough room.
After resting for a while and taking some medicine, Yuan Shanchuan felt much better.
So the whole family arranged to stay overnight in the backyard of their shop on Ningshui Street.
Fortunately, Lu Sanzhu found a place to rent today, otherwise they would have had to rent two rooms at the inn.
Originally, Lu Erbai wanted to let Yuan Shanchuan stay at his home since he wasn't feeling well, while he and Dahu would stay at the shop. However, Yuan Shanchuan and his wife both disagreed, since they were traveling by mule cart and it wouldn't be a problem.
After Da Niu led them away, the Lu family finally quieted down.
The old lady was in a good mood and asked a few more questions about Da Hu's situation at school.
Da Hu, unusually talkative, said, "I've made several friends. They all like my backpack and looked at it for a long time, saying they want their mothers to make one for them when they get home."
"Today was the first day. The teacher introduced us to each other, gave two lessons, and we practiced calligraphy. Grandma, it turns out the school also teaches Cuju (ancient Chinese football). I played a little bit today. But it was my first time playing, so I wasn't very good at it and quickly had to leave the field."
Although there was regret in his tone, he was genuinely happy.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "You want to play Cuju? We can make one ourselves later. You can bring Sanya, Dabao, Erniu, and Xiaozhen along. You can play all day during your days off."
Sanya's eyes lit up instantly.
