Chapter 194: What is the purpose of life?
Zhou Lang first went to visit Ohara Academy, felt it was okay, and went to report.
Ohara Academy, they have read the original book and are quite familiar with it.
Zhou Qinan will come here to study and meet many close friends who will become his right-hand men in the future.
Ohara Academy is indeed a place where hidden talents are lurking.
When the teacher learned that Zhou Lang was willing to come to Dayuan Academy, he was very enthusiastic and told him a lot about Dayuan Academy.
Later, the two went to the county town to look for a house.
There are no suitable houses near the academy. They are either too small, too remote, or have a bad layout.
Ohara is very big and they were not familiar with the place, so they ended up going to a dental clinic.
I spent money to ask the broker to help me introduce houses. I took him to see several houses and I chose two. One was large, with a three-story courtyard, a well, and a backyard where I could grow flowers, vegetables, raise poultry, etc., making life very convenient.
The other one is located on the street, which is convenient for doing business, but it is a bit small, with only eight rooms in total, which might be a bit cramped for a family to live in.
Lin Shiqi calculated that she and Zhou Lang would share a room, the third wife would need a room, the mute girl would have a room as she had a secret, and Mrs. Zhou would need a room, so when Old Man Zhou came, she would need a place to stay. Aunt Zhou had been spoiled since she was a child, so she would definitely need a room as well, and Daya and Erya would have a room...
According to this calculation, there must be at least six rooms.
We also need to set up a tofu shop, warehouse, kitchen, etc.
Finally, after much discussion, they decided to take the spacious house.
They have buyers for the tofu they make, so there is no need to open a tofu shop on the street. If they open a tofu shop, they have to hire people to sell the tofu, which is another hassle.
Anyway, they have enough money now.
After Li Zhu learned that they used silver here, he specifically inquired about the patterns, patterns and quality of their silver ingots, and then customized a batch and put them on the DY mall. Lin Shiqi and the others had plenty of money, and silver was cheap in modern times. They found the store provided by Li Zhu and could buy as much as they wanted.
As long as you successfully buy something, the courier will deliver it to your door.
To put it bluntly, whether she does the tofu business or not is not about making money.
Rather, it was to make Mrs. Zhou happy and give them an excuse for spending their money lavishly.
It wouldn't be a big problem for them to buy the house, but it can't be too exaggerated.
It makes people suspicious.
It would be better to rent it and pay the rent every month.
So, the two of them got together and rented the courtyard with three entrances.
Zhou Lang and his wife, along with Xiao Yan Niang, lived in the last courtyard, and the others lived in the second courtyard. The first courtyard was used as a tofu shop.
They paid the agent the commission promptly, and the agent was efficient in serving them, so they just paid a deposit and signed a one-year lease.
Because the landlord was a wealthy man, many properties in Dayuan County were rented out under the name of the rental agency. The rental agency could sign the rental contract on behalf of the landlord, so it was done quickly.
After settling the matter, the two drove the carriage back to Taohua Village.
It wasn't completely dark yet.
When Mrs. Zhou learned that they had accomplished everything, she praised them again without thinking.
I just heard that the rent is a bit expensive, which makes me a little sad.
Lin Shiqi said, "Mother, don't worry. We, the fourth family, have already paid the rent. My husband passed the imperial examination and got a lot of money as a reward. We just used it to pay the rent. You don't have to worry about it. If you live with us, how can we ask you to pay the rent for us..."
"How can we ask you to pay? We should pay from the public. Since we are doing business..."
“Really.”
Mrs. Zhou was so moved that her eyes became moist, but she held them back.
"Everyone in this family asks me for money, and everyone is eyeing the little money I have for my coffin. Only you two make money every day, and don't let me take a penny from outside. I must have accumulated good deeds in my previous life, so I gave birth to such a good son and married a good wife like you..."
Thinking of the first wife and the annoying second wife, he couldn't help cursing, "Those unlucky ghosts!"
Old man Zhou was smoking a pipe nearby, and he understood Mrs. Zhou's feelings.
The next period of time is to pack up and prepare to move to Ohara County.
A notice was posted at the tofu shop at home. When the villagers learned that Mrs. Zhou and her family were going to live in the county town, they were reluctant to let them go.
Find Mrs. Zhou and talk to her.
"Old sister, I envy you so much! Your son has passed the imperial examination and is the top scholar. You are going to live in the county town with your son and daughter-in-law to enjoy a good life."
"I have never been to the county town in my life. Sister, you are still the one who gave birth to a son. You are going to be a city dweller and do big business in the city. If you become rich, don't forget us..."
"Speaking of which, your fourth son is the only one who is filial. He brought you with him right after he passed the imperial examination. Some people forget their mothers after getting married, and there are quite a few who are ungrateful after achieving fame."
"Old sister, I can tell from your appearance that you will enjoy great fortune in the future..."
…
Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed.
What is the purpose of life?
Just a picture of the face!
Who gave her this honor? Her good son and daughter-in-law.
She was a concubine in this life. When she married and came to Taohua Village, many people looked at her strangely and despised her.
She was always compared with Old Man Zhou's eldest wife who had died earlier.
She didn't want to be a concubine, but her family let her marry him for the higher betrothal money.
But she refused to give up. She did everything better than others. She gave birth to many children, and none of them starved to death.
She treated Zhou Lao Da like her own son and raised him with great difficulty.
Over time, the villagers finally let go of their contempt for her.
But behind her back, sometimes she would scold her for being nothing more than a concubine...
Now, her son Zhou Lang is promising and filial, and her daughter-in-law is capable and polite. Deep down, no one dares to talk nonsense to her anymore.
All that is left is sincere envy and jealousy.
When the rest of the family learned that they were moving, the third family was very excited and happy.
Liu said that she would definitely go to the county town and run a tofu shop.
The two little kids, San Ya and Xiao Si Lang, clapped their hands for joy because they could see the man selling candied haws every day.
Zhou Laosan was naturally willing to do so. He knew best how much fun there was in the county town.
After hearing this, Daya and Erya were afraid that Mrs. Zhou would not take them, so they volunteered to help make tofu...
Little mute girl, plain and simple.
He goes wherever his parents go, and it's the same everywhere.
…
On the first day of moving, Old Man Zhou also went to see the place, found out the route and where they lived, and helped with the arrangement of things. Only after all the moving matters were in order did he return to Longquan Town.
Zhou Laosan drove the carriage to take Zhou Laohan back to the village, but Zhou Laohan said it was not necessary. He was afraid that Lin Shiqi and the others would need the carriage in the county town, so he asked him to go back first and he could walk back to the village by himself.
I walk there every day anyway, it’s not far.
