Chapter 28 Eating Dirt
Liu Shiqi was stunned when he saw the bunch of wild flowers handed to him.
Old Man Zhong smiled and said, "This is what I saw when I was climbing the mountain this morning. You can take it and play with it!"
Liu Shiqi blocked his mouth and thought.
[This is the first time I received flowers in my previous life and this life.] 】
[I didn’t expect it to be a gift from my own grandfather! 】
[This is really, very touching...]
There are a bunch of little yellow wild flowers, just like a sky full of little stars.
There is dew on it, which makes me happy just looking at it.
Liu Shiqi took it carefully, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
“I love it!”
Mrs. Hao was also very considerate. She quickly found a small clay pot and filled it with some clean water and brought it over.
"Come on, Shi Qi, you can put the flowers here!"
"Put it on the table in your room!"
“It’s a pleasure to watch!”
Liu Shiqi nodded, "Thank you, mother!"
Liu Shiqi sighed, recalling a sentence he had heard in his previous life.
Children who have been accompanied and cared for by their families since childhood have the highest emotional value.
You don't need to seek outside, and you won't be deceived by scumbags...
Of course, even if Liu Shiqi didn't have family members who loved her, she wouldn't be bullied by a scumbag.
Because she will beat the scumbag to death...
Her breakfast consisted of a cornmeal bun, a plate of pickles, and an egg.
This was already the best meal in the house. Everyone else was eating black grain steamed bread, which did not even have pickles, let alone eggs.
But Hao was afraid that she would not be used to the food, so she spoke quickly.
"Shi Qi, you eat first. At noon, mother will buy some meat and cook for you."
Liu Shiqi knew that his family had taken out all the money for Liu Zheng's matter.
The fact that we can still open the pot now is a testament to the Hao family's good housekeeping.
"I'm fine," Liu Shiqi ate with big mouthfuls, "It tastes good!"
After hearing her say this, Mrs. Hao felt much better.
After Liu Shiqi finished her meal, Hao asked her if she wanted to go to the village chief's house together.
It turned out that Hao and Liu Changying were discussing buying the old courtyard next door.
Because there are more people in the family and the children are grown up.
Some are too crowded.
I also thought that if anything, Chunmian would come and live with them.
Liu Shiqi immediately agreed to go with him.
[Let’s go to the village chief’s house!] 】
[Then maybe you can meet the male protagonist’s white moonlight!] 】
What’s it called? 】
[Hao Qianrou! 】
The two went to the village chief's house together.
The village chief's house is located in the center of the village.
The village chief went to the county yesterday, so he only found out about Zhuang Yan being sold last night.
When Hao and Liu Shiqi went over, they could still vaguely hear the village chief cursing.
Saying that the Zhuang family is good-for-nothing.
After listening to him, Liu Shiqi realized that Zhuang Yan’s adoptive father Zhuang Yu and the eldest and third sons of the Zhuang family were half-fathers.
No wonder...he sold out Zhuang Yu back then and still treats Zhuang Yan like this now.
Liu Shiqi followed Hao into the village chief's house.
I found out that the village chief was a middle-aged fat uncle who always smiled when he saw people.
When he saw them come in, he stopped talking.
When the village head's wife, Mrs. Zhu, saw the two men coming in, she started to talk to them warmly.
"Sister Fu, you are here. This is your daughter!"
"Oh, it's so white and so beautiful!"
"Looking at it this way, this is indeed your child!"
Zhu was very smart and never mentioned Liu Qiao.
When Mrs. Hao heard her praising her daughter, she was in a very good mood!
"Yeah, her name is Shi Qi!"
"Shi Qi, hurry up and say hello to Aunt Zhu!"
Liu Shiqi greeted him obediently.
Zhu praised him again.
The village chief looked Liu Shiqi up and down and nodded repeatedly.
I thought to myself, she is indeed a girl raised in a wealthy family.
Look at this look.
Look at this style.
She is much better than the girl he raised.
But my daughter is not bad either.
After they chatted for a while, Hao finally explained the purpose of their visit.
"Village Chief, I came here today mainly to buy the old yard next to our house that used to belong to Uncle Lin!"
"As you know, we have too many people in our house now! We just can't accommodate them all!"
The old courtyard next to his house used to belong to an old bachelor named Hao Lin. After he passed away, the courtyard was taken over by his nephew, who was not in the village most of the time.
So I asked the village chief to help look after it. If someone wants to buy it, the village chief can make the decision.
The yard was only half the size of Hao's house, with three main rooms and a small house on the east and west sides.
Because it is being taken care of by someone, even though it is a little old, it can be lived in after a little tidying up.
Hao thought about it and realized that the two courtyards were separated by a wall.
She only needed to open a door in the east wall to connect the two courtyards.
It's very convenient no matter who lives there.
The village chief was not surprised. He thought about it and said, "Of course, I can. I was originally planning to sell it."
"But there is still some land in front of that yard, behind it, and beside it!"
"You want all of them too?"
Hao asked him, "How much is the price?"
She was afraid that she didn't have enough money.
The village chief held up three fingers and said, "If it's just that house, it'll cost three taels of silver!"
"If you add the land next to it, it will cost four taels!"
"This is a bit expensive!" Hao wanted to bargain.
The village chief shook his head, "It's not that I want your money, it's the landlord who offered this price!"
"I can't help it!"
Zhu interrupted with a smile.
"Fumei, this isn't expensive at all!"
"All that land adds up to several acres!"
"And the land is close to the ditch, so watering is very convenient!"
She lowered her voice again.
"You don't know, but that house and yard have actually been spotted by someone else!"
"We saw that family was not able to fall to the ground, so we didn't let go!"
"Otherwise it would have been sold long ago!"
Hao asked hurriedly, "Who wants to buy it?"
Zhu's voice lowered even more, "I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else!"
Hao also lowered her voice and said, "Okay, I will definitely not tell you."
Zhu pointed to the east, "It's the Yang Shi family who wants to buy it!"
"I don't know how their family got rich. They were usually so poor that they could barely make ends meet, but now they are suddenly rich!"
“You can still sell houses and land!”
Hao frowned, "Wasn't his Yang Xiao still in prison a while ago? How come... he was released so soon?"
Zhu shook her head, not really understanding. "I don't know. Anyway, I've been wandering around the village these past two days."
"A chicken was lost from Old Man Jiang's house yesterday, and some vegetables were lost from Granny Li's house."
"Everyone spread it privately, it was the thief Yang..."
Mrs. Hao was embarrassed because she had actually stolen the food from Mrs. Li's house.
The reason was that Mrs. Li was foul-mouthed and scolded her daughter.
Zhu continued, "It seems that his family suddenly became rich because he brought it back!"
"I think he's going to cheat again..."
When Mrs. Hao thought about the possibility that a family like Yang Shi could be their neighbors.
I felt uncomfortable.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and paid four taels of silver to buy the yard and land next door.
Hao felt helpless. Now, their whole family would have to eat dirt...
