Two days later, Hou Wu followed Ji Ming back to Taoyuan Village. Ji Ming's shop had already been signed.
Hou Wu also showed Song Yuehua three very good shops and wanted her to go and take a look in person.
After listening to Hou Wu's description, Song Yuehua was very interested, except that the price was a bit high.
The first shop is the largest, costing 1,200 taels, and the second shop is slightly smaller, but has a backyard and a residence, and costs 600 taels.
The third shop had a large space, but it was a bit old, and there was no place to live in the back. There was only a kitchen, a toilet, and a small storage room, which also cost 500 taels.
"Shouldn't the price be very low now?" Song Yuehua asked.
Hou Wu said, "Yes, it's very low!"
Song Yuehua, "..."
The next morning, Song Yuehua took Ji Ming with her, and the three of them went to the county town to look after the shops.
These three shops are all pretty good. The big one has spacious front and back yards, almost enough to open a teahouse.
There are four residences behind the smaller shop, with a kitchen and firewood room all available, which just meets Song Yuehua's expectations.
The cheapest shop is indeed quite large, but it is severely damaged. The storage room at the back is relatively small, and the kitchen space is also a bit cramped. No wonder it is the cheapest.
Song Yuehua felt that the two rooms at the back were both fine, as business should still be based on shops.
Watch carefully, it’s Ji Ming’s turn.
Ji Ming asked in a low voice, "Are you really not going to say a word?"
"What I said was all nonsense. You are an expert in this matter, so you have to do it." Song Yuehua said, "See if you can cut it in half."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ming raised his leg and was about to leave, but Song Yuehua pulled him back, "Why are you leaving?"
"I can't do your job." Ji Ming felt that Song Yuehua was just teasing him.
Song Yuehua then calmed down and said, "One is 400 taels, and the other is 300 taels. Cut them down for me."
"No, 500 taels for one and 400 taels for the other." Ji Ming stretched out five fingers and said.
Song Yuehua didn't expect that Ji Ming would have to negotiate the price with her first.
After agreeing on the price, when Song Yuehua was about to go back, Hou Wu caught up with her and said with an embarrassed expression, "Miss Song, can my daughter Yaya also be enrolled in your school to learn a few words..."
"Of course," Song Yuehua said with a smile, "Girls don't have to pay tuition, but they still need to buy some pens and paper. Food and lodging in the school will be a bit expensive, so you can find a family in the village to stay with. You can discuss the price between yourselves."
"Okay," Hou Wu said happily, "I'll send the girl over next spring."
A few days later, the clinic opened and the old doctor looked much older.
Zhou Dafu had finally invited him from the county to the village. When he saw the yard full of seriously injured people, he sighed lightly and did not ask anything, and began to see patients one by one.
The medicinal herbs in the county are not complete yet, but fortunately there are some left in the village, and together with Song Yuehua’s stock, they are barely enough to complete the medicine.
The old doctor's consultation fee was in silver. When he left, he looked at the village wall and asked if he could exchange the consultation fee for food.
Zhou Dafu was stunned for a moment. Although they had all received the food, it would be troublesome to ask them to distribute it.
"Let me change." Song Yuehua said in a low voice.
Zhou Dafu asked, "Do you have enough food at home?"
"It's okay, there's still enough food." Song Yuehua took the medical fee and exchanged it all for corn for the old doctor.
Before leaving, the old doctor examined Zhou Lizheng's lung disease. After the examination, the old doctor prescribed a prescription and said, "Don't worry about it anymore. Take good care of yourself."
Zhou Dafu took the prescription and sent the person back respectfully.
The county distributed disaster relief grain and set up soup kitchens, and the situation outside has become much more stable.
Many people from other villages have returned to their own villages one after another. Although they are dilapidated, they are still their homes and they still have to go back.
As for Tian Duo, Niu Cai, Wu Datou, Zeng Zhi, and Wang Gangzi, they agreed with Song Yuehua that they would come to work in five days, send their families back first, and pack up their belongings.
There is actually a doorway in the wall of Dongshan, but for the time being, Song Yuehua has no plans to open it.
In order to build the wall, a lot of cotton fields were occupied.
The unoccupied land was flattened and turned into a martial arts training ground. If we want to plant cotton next year, we have to plow the land again.
Song Yuehua estimated that there was only about 40 acres of usable land. Although cotton could not be grown this year, potatoes, radishes and cabbages could be grown.
Before that, the land has to be plowed again.
After a few more days, the wounded living in the school were taken home one after another for care, and the students and teachers of the school also moved back.
Xie Yu lay down on the kang, stretched his waist and said, "I don't have to crawl through the secret passage every day anymore."
"Isn't it fun?" Dabao asked.
Xie Yu pinched his nose and said, "You think it's funny, but I don't think so."
Xiao Bao also sat up happily and said, "I'll have plenty of time to play Go with Sister Xie in the future."
"Well……"
Xie Yu laughed awkwardly and said, "Xiaobao, I still have to attend the class of Class B. I have a lot to prepare, so I might be a bit busy. Master Yi is an extraordinary chess player, why not go and have a competition with him?"
"Xiaobao likes playing chess," Song Yuehua smiled and hugged Xiaobao, "I'll buy you a Go board next time I come back."
Conditions are limited now, so Xiaoyu and Xiaobao play chess by drawing chessboards on paper, using black and white paper as chessboard.
Xiaobao's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Okay."
Looking at the three people playing on the kang, Song Yuehua also smiled, feeling that life was getting back on track day by day.
