Chapter 61 The ups and downs of life...

 Landlord Lin greeted these grandparents, and called uncles, aunts, and aunts one by one.

Someone recognized Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu, "Hey, isn't this the little girl who sells mushrooms in the market? Her last name is Lin or something? Oh, Xiaolin, are they your relatives? I bought them with your mother last time

Home mushrooms, why didn’t you hear your mother mention them?”

The owner of the forest waved his hand, "No, it's just a coincidence. They came to see my house. If they like it, they will live here. Aunt Zhao, please tell the uncles and aunts in the building and take more care of it in the future."

/p>

"What do you need to say? Little girls and young men, you can live in peace. Our area has good security. Grandpa and grandma sit downstairs every day. I'm sure no bad guys will dare to come."

"That's right, if you have anything to say, any grandparents who can help will be able to help."

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu thanked their grandparents and then followed Mr. Lin upstairs.

The room was more than 60 square meters, but the house at that time did not have a shared area, so it seemed larger than the current 70-plus square meters.

There is a rather small hall at the entrance. Beyond the hall are two bedrooms, one large and one small, next to each other. There are two large beds with a width of 1.5 meters. There is a wardrobe in one room, both of which are empty.<

/p>

The bathroom is opposite the small room. It is not big and has a toilet that can be used for one person to shower.

Refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, gas stoves, and range hoods are all available.

The siblings looked around and were quite satisfied, and finally rented the house with Landlady Lin. After signing the contract, they paid one year's rent and one month's deposit.

Landlady Lin left two keys, one for the door and one for the door of the building. He said: "You can go back and find someone to change the lock on the door. It won't cost a lot of money. Change it."

You can rest assured when you live there, and I can rest assured when I rent it."

After saying that, the person left.

Aunt Qi asked the siblings to stay and clean up. She went out and bought two beddings, a lock and lock-changing tools, and she changed the lock cylinder herself.

Aunt Qi taught Lin Xiaoman and her brother how to use water, electricity, and gas. After they learned how to use it, she felt free to help clean up the house.

The house was very clean, just wiped with dust. Aunt Qi took them out for a meal again, and it was already past seven o'clock when they were sent back.

Aunt Qi asked them to lock the door inside at night and taught them how to lock it before leaving.

The siblings moved to a new home, took a bath here, and had a good sleep.

They still remembered to move the wardrobe to the river, set the alarm clock and got up at two o'clock in the middle of the night. They were still a little confused. After lying there for a while, they remembered that this was the house they rented, and they could live here if they wanted to in the future. They were very happy.

I’m excited. Life here is so convenient. You don’t even have to go out to take a shower or use the toilet.

I heard that the heater is also very warm in winter, and the temperature in the room can be more than 20 degrees.

It’s just that the fifth floor is too high. If their wardrobe wants to pass through, it has to be hoisted into the sky.

Back there, there was no one in the village. Lin Xiaoman picked up the wardrobe and walked towards the river. Lin Erhu followed behind to help keep an eye on whether anyone was following.

Fortunately, the night was cool, the country people went to bed early, and no one was seen outside.

After Lin Xiaoman adjusted the direction several times, he finally determined the location of the warehouse on a piece of uncultivated wasteland.

After drawing a big circle and placing a pile of stones in the circle, with a branch stuck on top, Lin Xiaoman carried the wardrobe back home.

Get up early and go to the west of the village to find craftsmen from the city. I want to ask them to help me build a few stone houses in the open space by the river.

At this time, the houses in West Village were being repaired and they no longer needed to keep an eye on them. Two people were left here to watch, and the rest followed Lin Xiaoman to the river.

Lin Xiaoman pointed to the marked location, "Five stone houses will be built here. I marked this place to build a bedroom. I will use the remaining rooms to grow vegetables in winter."

The craftsmen were all old craftsmen, and after listening to it, they all understood what Lin Xiaoman wanted to do. However, it took them a long time to build five stone houses, so Lin Xiaoman turned to the people who were opening up wasteland over there.

After all, they come here to work for themselves, whether it’s clearing land or building houses, there must be priorities.

Lin Xiaoman called for Peng Guancha, "Uncle Peng, I want to build a few stone houses there, but we don't have enough manpower..."

Before Lin Xiaoman could finish speaking, Peng Guancha continued: "Should we employ people? How big of a deal is it? I'm worried that we won't be able to use so many people to open up wasteland. If we let them get together, they will start fighting every day. It's better to work separately.

."

Then, he pointed to several people including Xu Qiuliang, "You go over there and help build the house."

Lin Xiaoman recognized that these people were all close to Xu Qiuliang, which showed that Peng Guancha really wanted to separate the two groups.

There are a lot of rocks in the wasteland, but there is a steady supply of supplies there. Under the supervision of the craftsmen, Lin Xiaoman does not need to worry.

Looking at Xu Qiuliang's slender figure and slightly pale face, one doesn't know whether he is born this way or whether it is caused by suffering too much on the way to distribution. We are worried that he will collapse while working.

Thinking of Qingshu's words to ask her to take care of him more, Lin Xiaoman went home and boiled a pot of brown sugar water, put it in a bucket, picked it up with a pole, and distributed a bowl of brown sugar water to each of the people building the house.

Holding the brown sugar water in his hand, Xu Qiuliang felt a lot of emotion. He thought that when he was an official in the court, he could eat all kinds of delicacies, let alone this bowl of brown sugar water.

But he has fallen from high places to low places, suffered so much and suffered so much, and he can’t even remember how many times he fought with the National People’s Congress over a piece of cake. Being able to drink a bowl of brown sugar water at this time is no different to him.

.

Life is full of ups and downs... After the crown prince was established, those courtiers who were related to or had close contacts with the second prince began to be suppressed. It is conceivable that when the prince ascends the throne, their fate will only be worse.
p>

Now three people have been exiled before him, and he has already followed suit before he can resign.

Alas! He didn’t know where the future was, but something seemed to be stirring in his chest, giving him the urge to throw a bowl and sing to his heart’s content.

He raised the bowl in his hand, and just when he was about to drop it, he heard a voice that was not soft but crisp, "Uncle, do you want another bowl?"

All emotions and impulses were gone. Xu Qiuliang looked down and saw Lin Xiaoman’s smiling face and the bowl of brown sugar water in her hand.

Looking at the bowl in his hand, Xu Qiuliang felt that if he dared to drop the bowl in his hand, this little girl would never boil brown sugar water for him again.

While secretly rejoicing in my heart, I nodded my head very spinelessly, "Yes!"

"Okay, uncle, bring the bowl over and I'll pour it for you."

After Xu Qiuliang drank another bowl of brown sugar water and was still unsatisfied, Lin Xiaoman said: "Don't drink too much water. I put the bucket here. Uncle will fill it up when he wants to drink it."

Xu Qiuliang hummed softly, and when the official over there asked him to work, Xu Qiuliang put down his bowl and ran over.

He was escorted all the way, protected by several brothers from his own mother. He had never been whipped, but he often saw his head being beaten, especially his biological eldest brother, who had a weak tongue and could not even look at eyes. He received the most whipping at the beginning.
