Zhao Dawen wandered around the county town for a day. He could not afford to rent a good house, and he did not like the shabby and small ones. Moreover, there are very few houses in the county that are willing to rent on a monthly basis. Everyone rents on a yearly or half-year basis.
With limited money on hand, he was very constrained. After searching for most of the day, he still couldn't find a small house that he liked.
In the end, I had no choice but to choose a small house with no well but relatively less shabby. Feeling aggrieved and helpless, he couldn't bring himself to ask his friends in the county town for a loan.
After renting a house, I have to go back to the old house again. Where are my family and luggage? Now that he was poor, he couldn't just throw things away. He planned to move everything that could be moved from the old house, including pots and pans.
"Da Wen, what are you doing?"
"Dad, when we divide the family property, you should give me a share of the things in the kitchen. If you don't give me the pots, you can exchange them for silver. And all the farm tools, nothing should be left behind." They can all be sold for silver, so why should he let that ungrateful old man take them for free.
Wang felt that Zhao Dawen had finally done something useful. They had nothing in their county, so they could just take as much as they could.
After a night of quarreling, Zhao Dawen's family was carried away on a bullock cart, leaving only Old Man Zhao lying on the kang in anger and Zhao Dayong's family who wanted to curse.
"Forget it, it's fine if they're gone. Hey, this home is finally peaceful."
"That's what you said."

"Dad, the school has started. Do you want to go there to study?" She always felt that what she taught was not authentic. She didn't understand many of the profound meanings of ancient Chinese texts, and she couldn't even write traditional Chinese characters clearly. Now I am relying on my old knowledge to teach, and I often can't answer Zhao Dashu's questions.
"No, I'm too embarrassed to study with a bunch of kids who haven't even grown all their hair yet." He's a grown man, why is he sitting there? He can't afford to lose that person.
Zhao Xiaoyu thought about it and it made sense. At her age, she wouldn't want to study with a bunch of kids in kindergarten. It would be too abrupt.
"Then why don't we hire a teacher for our family? You learn, I learn, and we all learn."
"That's fine." Zhao Dashu knew that his daughter was also a half-baked person, and he asked a lot of questions, often leaving her confused. "After your uncle Liu moves, we will go to the county town and find a live-in teacher."
"No, let's go to Dongfu City and look for someone with deep knowledge and who can teach well."
"Run so far?"
"The weather is fine now, so let's buy a carriage and go to the city to find a teacher. We can also go out for a trip. How about that? Isn't that great?"
Spring is here, isn't it a good time for an outing? In ancient times, the mountains and rivers were beautiful and the environment was great. She was at the same age as a flower and there were no elderly people at home, so she should have a good time.
"Buy a carriage and go out for fun? No, to find a mistress?" Zhao Dashu, who always liked to have fun, thought his daughter's idea was very good, and he felt a little restless.
"Well, what do you think, Dad? Not a bad idea, right?"
"Great! Your uncle Shunzi said he would move the day after tomorrow. Are they still moving?"
"Why move? They're going to build a house after the spring ploughing, so we can just live here. It won't be too late to move after the new house is built. When we go out, we need someone to look after the house."
It’s okay for the teacher to come. We can accommodate another family in the front yard.
"You're right. I'll tell him later that we've moved. After the spring ploughing, they'll build their house and move again. It's tiring to go back and forth. Girl, how long are we going to play?"
"It's been more than a month. I have nothing to do at home. I climb mountains when I see them, and go down to have a barbecue or a picnic when I see a river. How about that?"
