On New Year's Eve, Chen Jianguo held Tian Wenjun tightly in his arms and refused to let go.
In my ears I could hear the two children playing with Feng Xueqin and the others. It was almost dawn when the children finally fell asleep.
Snowflakes are flying outside the window, and lovers are whispering to each other inside the room.
Tian Wenjun always thought that snow was silent, but in fact, falling snow does make a sound.
In that mysterious silence, there is the gentle breathing of the earth.
That night, Chen Jianguo felt that it was the most peaceful day he had ever had.
After the three-day holiday, Chen Jianguo returned to the team.
Tian Wenjun opened for business on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
In the past few days, many people in the county have gone out to play.
In the past two months, the capital and Haicheng have developed rapidly. I heard that the taxi business is very good. Many people in the county have gone out to drive taxis, and many people have gone to the south to work in factories.
Many houses in the county town are idle.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Guilan came to the store early.
Tian Wenjun: "Sister Zhang, your home is considered the center of the county town, can you do me a favor?"
Zhang Guilan asked: "What can I do for you?"
"I want to buy a house in the provincial capital. Can you help me find one?"
Zhang Guilan smiled and said, "You want to buy a yard?
OK, I'll help you find out."
"Thank you, Sister Zhang."
"It's okay, it's not a big deal."
Tian Wenjun knew that this matter could not be rushed, so after asking Zhang Guilan, Tian Wenjun rented a small house next to the restaurant.
The rent for a room in a house is sixteen dollars, two dollars a month.
This house is less than ten square meters, so it is completely suitable to open a small shop.
She signed a three-year contract with someone and gave the other party thirty-six acres at once. After that, she took some time to clean up and tidy up the place.
In her free time during the day, she took a piece of cloth to measure the length, and then designed two shelves and a glass cabinet on the paper.
She found time to have it custom-made at the lumber factory. At the beginning of the month, when Tian Yuhu found out, the small shop that Tian Wenjun had given him had already been opened.
They also sell newspapers inside.
You know, selling newspapers is a really profitable business.
Tian Hu felt like he was dreaming.
After the convenience store opened, the couple took their two children to the convenience store next door during the day.
When Zhang Meilan is free, she helps Tian Wenjun feed the chickens and ducks, and Shunqi cleans the backyard. The family works together and lives a smooth life.
At the beginning of March, Zhang Meilan had also found out about the small courtyard for Tian Wenjun.
This family is a group of intellectuals, and their small yard is full of peonies. They are not locals, but were transferred here to work when they were young. Now that they are older and their children are working in other places, they have decided to return to their hometown.
This yard is also a siheyuan, with a piece of land in front of the gate. The house cost two thousand yuan.
This kind of house is considered good in the county town, and it is not far from restaurants.
Zhang Guilan said: "Sister, I think two thousand yuan is a bit expensive, but the yard looks okay."
Tian Wenjun said: "Sister Zhang, when you return, please ask them when they are free. I want to see the courtyard."
"Okay, I'll ask for you when I get home tonight."
Zhang Guilan replied and asked, Tian Wenjun can come anytime she wants.
The next day, Tian Wenjun went back to look after the yard.
When the courtyard door was pushed open, the fragrance of peony flowers greeted me.
Next to the peonies, there are also many lilacs, and the flower buds are about to bloom, which are very beautiful.
Maybe, buying a house also requires feeling and eye appeal. To her, it looks good and comfortable.
The old man and the old lady looked very gentle. They were scholars after all, and their every move was calm and elegant.
The old lady and the old man also looked at Tian Wenjun.
The old lady asked: "Are you going to buy this yard?"
Tian Wenjun: "Yes, auntie, your yard is really clean."
"Come in and sit down first."
Tian Wenjun glanced at the houses on three sides and followed the old lady into the house. When she came, she brought two kilograms of snacks and gently placed them on the table.
The old lady took one look and smiled.
He is a particular person.
The old lady smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang has told you about our situation, right?"
Tian Wenjun: "Auntie, Sister Zhang told me."
"That's good, I see you are also a particular person.
To be honest, we have lived in this yard for more than ten years and have some feelings for it.
We wouldn't have left if our children hadn't seen that they couldn't take care of us when we got old.
The lilacs and peonies in this yard were planted for me by my husband.
Oh, I really want to take them away.
But, I can’t take it with me, so I’ll just leave it here.”
Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "Auntie, uncle is so good to you.
These peonies look pretty good.”
"Yeah, more than ten years old.
Xiao Zhang also told me about your situation.
If you really want this yard, plus the two acres of land at the door, we'll give you 1,800 yuan. I hope you can help me take care of these flowers."
Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "Sure."
She knew that the old man and the old lady were easy to talk to, but she didn't expect them to be so easy to talk to.
After the three of them discussed it and signed the contract, Tian Wenjun paid a deposit of RMB 100.
The old man and the old woman will pay the remaining balance when they move out at the end of March.
Before leaving, Tian Wenjun took a closer look. This courtyard house is very large. If you ignore the peonies and only look at the houses, they are actually very ordinary. However, some places always have their shining points.
Tian Wenjun thought about it and realized that if she deposited money in the bank, she wouldn't make much money just from the interest, so buying this house would be like a disguised investment.
She didn't know how many days she could stay here.
Anyway, for now, she still has to stay here.
She thought the valuable part of this house was the several thousand square meters of land and the two acres of land at the door.
In the future, it will at least increase by dozens of times.
By the time Chen Jianguo learned that Tian Wenjun had bought a house, it was already May.
He feels that his wife is becoming more and more capable, which makes him feel uneasy.
What if my wife is being targeted by someone?
If anyone dares to target his wife, he will break his legs.
No, no, I have to go to the city more often when I have nothing to do in the future.
Tian Wenjun discovered that Chen Jianguo came to the restaurant more and more frequently.
Every time I come, I follow her around like a follower.
Sometimes I would bring a wood carving or something for Tian Wenjun, and sometimes I would use discarded bullet shells to paste an airplane or a ship for each child.
Anyway, every time I come, there are little surprises.
After a long time, Tian Wenjun got used to it.
As for Zhang Qingdong, their exam was quite special. He took the exam in the provincial capital two weeks ago, and the results came out in the past few days.
In the entire team, he was the only one who passed the exam with excellent grades and good physical fitness.
Political Commissar Zhou looked at the notice in his hand and laughed wildly in the office.
He slapped his hands on the desk and laughed, "Good boy, I knew this guy could do it."
Political Commissar Zhou called the clerk, and the clerk pushed the door open.
