Chapter 52, Buying a House
"Finally got rid of that horrible family!"
Successful division of households and separation of relatives, the public opinion is still on their side, Li Wuya's family is very happy.
"Father, we are not military households anymore. Tianlingtun is too remote and barren. Let's leave here and make a living elsewhere."
Li Wuya suggested.
Li Qilang responded to Li Wuya the most, and immediately asked, "Then where are we going?"
Li Wuya: "Naturally, you can go wherever the prosperity is."
Personal development is inseparable from the place, just like in the Gobi Desert, where resources are scarce, and if you can do whatever you want, just hunt more and improve your life.
Li Qilang picked out a place from his limited knowledge: "Fan Xiucai in the village always said that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. It must be beautiful there. Why don't we go to the south of the Yangtze River that Fan Xiucai said?"
Li Wuya nodded fiercely: "Yes, yes, the Jiangnan water town is the most nourishing place for people. The northwest side is dry and dry. Look at our skin, which is dark and rough, not juicy at all."
Influenced by the old man in Tianchi, Li Qilang is also a beauty lover: "Then we have to take good care of it after we go to Jiangnan."
Seeing the younger sister and younger brother talk more and more vigorously, Li Sanlang had no choice but to interrupt the two: "Okay, no matter how beautiful Jiangnan is, it doesn't matter to us, because we can't go there at all."
"Why?"
Li Wuya and Li Qilang asked in unison.
Li Sanlang: "In order to prevent the loss of population in the frontier, our household registration cannot be moved out at will."
"What?!"
Li Wuya and Li Qilang frowned.
"Why is this household registration so troublesome?"
"That's right, it won't work to change from a military household to a civilian household, and it won't work if you move out. It's too difficult to be born in this borderland!"
"That is to say, we want to leave the Northwest?"
"If you can't do it, you have to do it, even if you throw money at it, we have to take it away."
Li Erya nodded Li Wuya's head: "The tone is getting louder and louder, let me ask you, how much money do you have to spend?"
Li Wuya choked, she hadn't told her family about the fact that she brought Li Qilang to Huyan's family and Tianluomen in Rongcheng.
She secretly calculated, that trip, she and Qilang earned at least ten thousand taels of silver, and they became proper little rich women and little rich men.
Jin Yue'e looked at the joking children with a smile, then turned to look at Li Changsen: "We have such a trouble with the other side, and I don't want to stay in the village anymore, or should I move to Xining City?"
Li Wuya immediately shook her head and vetoed it: "Xining City is too small, and it's still close to Tianlingtun." Then, she sat next to Li Changsen, "Father, you are the head of the family, where do you think we are going?"
Li Changsen didn't answer immediately, but became silent. He stared at the roof for a long time, looked at the four brothers and sisters of Li Sanlang, and said, "Let's go to Rongcheng."
As soon as Rongcheng was mentioned, Jin Yue'e and the others remembered what Li Changsen said in the Li family's courtyard.
Several people wanted to ask about her father's life experience. It can be seen that Li Changsen closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to talk about it, and then silently closed his mouth.
"Okay, your father is going to rest, let's all go out, what should we do?"
After coming out of the room, Li Wuya dragged her brother and sister to mutter.
"Brother, you said that Dad asked us to go to Rongcheng, do you want to meet relatives?"
"Whether father recognizes it or not, he is our father."
"I don't know this yet." Li Wuya stroked her chin, "Father said that man is a general, that is, a general, the family of a general."
Li Qilang looked at her curiously: "Sister, why are you sighing?"
Li Wuya: "I just feel that the family of generals, even if we recognize it, the benefits are not too great."
Hearing this, Li Sanlang and Li Erya stared over.
"What's good and bad? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Five Ah, if Dad wants to recognize relatives, it must be based on blood relationship, don't say so"
Seeing that Li Erya couldn't find the right words for a long time, Li Wuya couldn't help but fill in for her: "Don't be so utilitarian, it's for the benefit of speaking, isn't it?"
Li Erya: "Yes, that's what I mean."
Li Wuya curled her lips: "If recognizing relatives is of no practical benefit to our family, why should we recognize them? Brother and sister, please be more practical, don't live too ideally."
"Dad was changed when he was just born. We don't have any relationship with that family, blood relationship. Heh, haven't you suffered enough from the so-called blood relationship in the Li family?"
Li Sanlang and Li Erya were silent.
"Okay, this is not something we should worry about, everything is up to parents."
After confirming that he was going to Rongcheng, Li Wuya took his brother, sister and brother to discuss.
"If you go to Rongcheng, you must have a place to live? Are we going to go into the city to buy a house?"
"Buy a house? How much money will it cost?"
"Don't worry about the money. When we took Dad away from Dieling Pass, Governor Cai asked someone to give us one hundred taels, which is enough for us to buy a house."
"Do I need to buy a house? Can't I rent a house?"
“It’s better to buy a house. Renting a house always feels like floating, and it doesn’t feel like home at all.”
"The Chinese New Year will be in about 20 days, brother, let's go to Rongcheng to look at the house immediately, and try to live in the new house during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, okay, go buy a house now!"
"Then who will go?"
"I'm definitely going." Li Wuya raised her hand without hesitation, "By the way, there is also my brother, and my brother has to go too. He has to come forward to buy a house."
Li Sanlang is fifteen years old, and he can be considered a half-adult outside the home, so he won't attract the attention of others when he buys and sells houses.
"I'm going too." Li Qilang followed immediately.
Li Erya also looked moved, but she knew that her father was injured and was bedridden, and one of the siblings had to stay at home to help mother, so she took the initiative to say: "Then I will stay at home."
Li Wuya looked at Li Erya, and put his arms around her neck: "Sister, you are so kind, don't worry, I will definitely choose the best house for our family."
Li Qilang also followed suit, and also stepped forward to hug Li Erya: "Sister, you are really my good sister, I love you to death."
Li Erya rolled her eyes when her siblings embraced her, and hurriedly pushed away these two annoying little goblins. Knowing that her little sister had big ideas, she couldn't help but give her some advice.
"Brother, you have to watch Wuya closely, don't let her mess around."
Li Wuya stared: "When did I mess around?"
Li Sanlang smiled and said something for her: "Wu Ya still knows how to do things properly." After speaking, he got up and went to talk to Li Changsen and Jin Yue'e.
The next day, after breakfast, Li Sanlang took Li Wuya and Li Qilang and set off towards Rongcheng.
Watching the three children go out, Li Changsen looked a little dazed.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"You said, is it right or wrong for us to move to Rongcheng?"
"this"
Jin Yue'e was a little hesitant. Wuya had a good saying, the more prosperous the place, the more opportunities there will be, and the better the future will be.
So, in order to have a good future for the four children, she agreed to go to Rongcheng from the bottom of her heart.
After all, Rongcheng is the largest city on the border, and the Protectorate of the Western Regions was established there.
However, she also understood her husband's hesitation and worry.
She knew that her husband actually longed for the love and care of his parents, otherwise, facing the harsh treatment of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li, he would still be responsible for most of the livelihood of the Li family.
But if you come to recognize each other, will people recognize him?
The husband is just a low-grade military general who grew up in a military family. He is very different from the son and master of a rich family, and the rich family is the most prestigious.
At this moment, she understands her husband's worry, hesitation and low self-esteem.
"The head of the family, the four children in our family are all good. I believe that they can make a difference even by themselves."
Hearing this, Li Changsen stretched out his hand and held Jin Yuee's hand tightly.
Does he want to recognize relatives?
Thought.
On the one hand, I want to know what kind of people my biological parents are, and on the other hand, I also want to plan for the four children.
There is a huge difference between a child from a good family and a child from an ordinary family, even if he is as shallow as him.
But, do people want to recognize him?
His wife saw his worries in this regard, and she comforted him so much, which made him very heart-warming. With her understanding and support, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
He is so old, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, he is afraid of delaying the four children.
Guangwei General Mansion Jiang Family.
Before, he only inquired about the Jiang family roughly. He still didn't know anything about the situation of the Jiang family.
That's all, let's wait until we go to Rongcheng in the future.
On the other side, on the way to Rongcheng, Li Sanlang is struggling to catch up with his younger siblings who have left him behind.
"Brother, admit defeat, you can't catch up with me."
Li Qilang ran ahead, looking at Li Sanlang who was following behind him, feeling extremely happy.
Li Wuya smiled and said: "Qilang, you should take it easy, if you are approached by brother, he can knock you down with one punch."
Li Qilang: "I know I can't fight in close quarters, so of course I won't let my brother catch up."
That afternoon, the three brothers and sisters arrived under the city wall of Rongcheng.
"Sister, our qinggong has improved again."
It was dark when they came last time, but it was still bright this time.
The three of them entered the city, found an inn to stay in, and started looking at the house early the next morning.
Thanks to the search for Huyan’s stronghold in the city last time, Li Wuya now has a preliminary understanding of Rongcheng, and roughly knows the distribution of houses in the four directions of east, west, north, south.
This saved them a lot of time in finding a house.
One hundred taels of silver, Li Sanlang originally thought it was a huge sum of money, but after looking at several houses, he realized that one hundred taels of silver could not even afford a decent courtyard house.
Either the size is not suitable, or the location is not good. Anyway, the price of the house that suits your heart is basically more than one hundred taels.
This stumped Li Sanlang, especially when he saw that Li Wuya and Li Qilang chose a courtyard house with a good location and many rooms, he was even more worried.
"Wuya, Qilang, we don't have much money, why don't we go to the outer city?"
"Outer city? No, the law and order in the outer city is not as good as that in the inner city."
"The inner city is indeed much better than the outer city in all aspects. Why not, but let's choose a smaller yard. You see, our family doesn't have many people. We share one room for parents, one room for me and Qilang, Wuya you One room with Erya, plus the kitchen, four or five rooms are enough."
Li Wuya shook her head even more fiercely: "Brother, we are all grown up, we should have our own room, especially you, you are fifteen, and you should get a wife in two years, how can you live with Qilang for a while?" room?"
"Brother, buying a house is a big deal, and you can't be careless. Let's buy a bigger yard. Even if you have a baby in the future, you won't have no place to live."
Li Sanlang: "." The little girl thought too far, but it was a bit expensive.
Looking at her brother's sad face, Li Wuya suddenly realized: "Brother, are you worried that you don't have enough money?"
Li Sanlang glanced at her, and thought to himself, it can be considered that he has reacted.
Who doesn't want a large yard with a good location and many rooms?
Isn't it just that the money is not enough!
Li Wuya thought that she should tell her brother about Bai Yueguang and Hei Lianhua's disturbance in Rongcheng, and was considering how to speak, when Li Qilang said proudly: "Brother, money is not a problem, we have money!"
Li Sanlang glanced at him: "Where did you get the money?"
Li Qilang quickly looked at Li Wuya.
Li Wuya didn't care about it anymore, and directly told Li Sanlang all the things he and Li Qilang did in Rongcheng last time.
"From the stronghold of Huyan's family and Tianluomen, we should have earned about 10,000 taels of silver. Therefore, the money for buying a house is definitely enough, and there is still money left over to buy land."
Li Sanlang was stunned when he heard this, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was half-opened, and he looked at his younger siblings in front of him dumbfounded.
Take down the stronghold of the Huyan family!
Destroyed the lair of Tianluomen, the first organization in Northwest China!
Oh my god, is Wuya telling him the bible?
Looking at his younger siblings who were only waist-high, Li Sanlang felt as if he was dreaming. This incident had too much impact on him, so he had to take it easy.
However, seeing Li Wuya take out more than ten ingots and ten taels of silver, he had to wake up even if he wanted to dream.
Li Sanlang's eyes are extremely complicated. Looking at his younger siblings at this moment, he really feels that he is weak: "You... are you really" so awesome?
Li Qilang happily helped him make up: "Brother, fifth sister and I are good?"
Li Sanlang: "Bull!"
After touching the silver for a long time, Li Sanlang calmed down. Once he calmed down, he sensed the danger inside, and said with a full face of disapproval:
"You are too courageous, how dare you provoke the Huyan family and Tianluomen? Have you ever thought about what will happen to you if they have a lot of people, if you lose to them?"
Li Wuya snorted: "If the Huyan family dares to stare at you on the battlefield, I dare to destroy their stronghold. If I do this, it can be regarded as a good deed for the country and the people."
"As for Tianluomen, they are going to kill me and Qilang, of course I have to take the initiative to attack, otherwise, are you really waiting for them to kill me?"
"Assassination organizations, all they do is assassination, no one is innocent, either kills, or is killed, there is nothing to say."
After speaking, he smiled confidently.
"Brother, don't worry about my work. Since I dare to bring Qilang to the door, I am sure of it. I cherish my life very much and will not mess around."
Li Sanlang sighed, the little girl is so courageous, at the age of ten, she dared to take her younger brother to destroy the Beiyan spy and assassination sect, can he rest assured?
Second sister's advice was right, he had to take good care of his younger sister.
Li Wuya pushed the money to Li Sanlang: "Brother, don't worry about the money, go pick the yard with confidence."
Li Sanlang silently put the money in his pocket, it feels good not to worry about the money, but he would be happier if his younger siblings were not so bold.
Finally, after negotiation between the three brothers and sisters, they bought a two-entry courtyard house in Dongcheng, one street away from Fuxue.
The former owner of this courtyard house was a scholar, and the courtyard was tidy.
Entering from the gate facing the street is a shadow wall. On the left side of the screen wall is a moon gate. When entering, there are three inverted houses, plus a stable for cars and horses. There is also a well dug next to the stable.
The inverted house is facing the vertical flower gate, and on both sides of the vertical flower gate are Chaoshou verandahs. Entering is the living yard.
There are three upper rooms, one bright and two dark, and a side room on the left and right; the east and west wing rooms are also three rooms, one bright and two dark, and many plants are picked and planted in the courtyard.
This courtyard, whether it is Li Sanlang, Li Wuya, or Li Qilang, is very satisfied.
Firstly, the location is good, secondly, the yard is neither too big nor too small, and there are not too many rooms, which just meet the needs of their family.
