Otherworldly Days

Chapter 212 Placement

The carriage went to the town, Cao Xiangnan first went to Yipinzhai to find shopkeeper Liu, and told shopkeeper Liu about the matter, it happened that shopkeeper Liu had an empty yard there, and he immediately gave him the key. "Take it, take it, why are you being polite to my old brother." It's just a yard, why are you being polite to him, shopkeeper Liu waved.

Cao Xiangnan stopped being polite to shopkeeper Liu, took the key, went upstairs and explained the situation to Zheng Shubo, took their family of three out from the back door, got into the carriage parked at the back door, and the driver took them to shopkeeper Liu. Said to go to the yard.

The carriage passed by along the way. Although this small town is not as prosperous and lively as Nanyang, the shops on both sides of the road seem to be old. People come and go on the old streets, and there are shouts from time to time, which has a special flavor.

Lifting the curtain, Liang Yan held the child in her arms and looked outside. The child giggled, and Cao Xiangnan introduced Fenshui Town to Zheng Shubo and the others.There are not many small towns, and there are many villages around it.

"Yu—" The carriage stopped at the gate of a yard, and everyone got out of the carriage. Cao Xiangnan opened the gate of the yard with the key in his hand, and led the people behind him in.

Looking at it at a glance, the yard is in order, and there are many flowers and trees planted in it, but in this season, the leaves on the trees are all gone, leaving only bare branches.There is also a well in the corner, which is also convenient for water.

Open the door of the room and go in. There is a main room, two rooms, and two rooms for storing sundries on the side. The kitchen for cooking is complete with pots, pans and chopsticks.Apart from being a bit old, the yard still looks good, "Shubo, is it okay for you to see here?" Cao Xiangnan asked.

"Okay, okay, it's already very good." Now it's good to have a place to live, Zheng Shubo doesn't dare to pick and choose, and this yard is clean, he can also read and paint here.

The yard is big enough, and the children don't have to stay in one room all day. Zheng Shubo is very satisfied with this place.Holding the child in her arms, Liang Yan looked at the two houses. There was only a little dust inside, and he would be able to live in after cleaning.

"It's so good, I'm afraid you don't like it. I'll take you around here for a while, so you can get familiar with it first, but if you come to live here for three or two days, you will get familiar with it." Cao Xiangnan Seeing that they really like this place, the problem of accommodation is temporarily solved.

As long as the academy is built, they can move to the academy, where they will have a place to live.When he was in Nanyang, Cao Xiangnan had already told Zheng Shubo about the situation here, and he would not turn bad into good, but told them truthfully.Zheng Shubo and his wife agreed, so they came to Fenshui with him.

Of course, he also understands that Zheng Shubofu is also desperate now, so he almost took his wife and children to sleep on the street, otherwise, as a scholar, he would not have followed him to such a small place as a small teacher.

But if people can't even fill their stomachs, how can they talk about ideals?

"Okay, okay, thank you Xiangnan. If it weren't for you and me today, we wouldn't even have a place to live." Zheng Shubo's words were full of gratitude. Grace.

"I won't talk about being polite. You will live here for the time being. After the academy is built, you can live there. When it's free tomorrow, I'll take you there to have a look." Cao Xiangnan said.

"Okay, okay, okay." Zheng Shubo responded repeatedly.

All the way along with the children wandering with Fu Lang, hungry, not even a place to live, I said in my heart that I am not afraid or not.Now that I have a place to live, I don’t have to worry about being hungry in the future. Liang Yan holds the child in her hands, with a smile on her face. The environment here is quiet. This area is all independent small courtyards, most of them live in the town It's a street outside, so it's convenient to go shopping.After looking at the residence, Cao Xiangnan took Zheng Shubo's family of three out for a circle, and told them that vegetables were picked up for sale every morning on the street, and there were also butcher stalls on the street.

They just walked around, not far away, had a simple lunch in a small restaurant outside, and bought them some daily necessities when they returned.The weather was cold at this time, and seeing that their clothes were thin, I even tore two bolts of cloth for them, and asked them to go back and make clothes by themselves.

In this way, it took half a day to send Zheng Shubo and his family of three back to the small yard, and help them move the things they bought into the house. "I'll go first." Knowing that they had no money, Cao Xiangnan stuffed Liang Yan with two coins for their living expenses.

Zheng Shubo and Liang Yan sent Cao Xiangnan out of the yard. Seeing that he left, Liang Yan still held two coins in her hand, and she couldn't express the feeling in her heart.

"Take it." They still have to eat and live, even if they don't have to eat or drink, the children can't go hungry with them.After studying hard for ten years, if the integrity of a scholar can be eaten, he, Zheng Shubo, will not be reduced to this today. Zheng Xiucai finally understands that it is not too late.

It's just that people who met by chance, but they helped their family again and again, Zheng Shubo was also full of gratitude in his heart.

"En." Liang Yan responded, feeling indescribably happy.

After resettling the three members of Zheng Shubo's family, Cao Xiangnan went back to his shop. During these days, he went to and from Nanyang several times, but he was left behind.It is not a problem to make money from the shop here to support the family. If it is said to make a fortune, it is not too much, but after all, it is the first shop I opened here, so the meaning is different.

Their shop has been here for a while, and now there are more regular customers. Except for the men who come to eat every day on the pier, the shopkeepers on this street also love to eat here. So business has been good.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is getting colder day by day, and before winter comes, they have to prepare for winter.

It would be inconvenient to travel back and forth between the town and Caojia Village in winter. He thought that there might not be many customers coming to eat in the shop at that time, and Cao Xiangnan wanted to close the shop here when the weather got cold.

As soon as he said this, he was opposed by everyone.

If they don't do business here, will some restaurants in the town stop delivering orders?If it's a delivery, then open the store by the way, the business is not as good as it is now, but people will come to eat more or less.

Once the store closes, how much is the loss?

"No, no, no." Sun Yanshan was the first to object.

"Some people will come to eat when there is not much business. Shopkeeper Wang and Boss Li and the others will come to eat every day." Cao Dapeng, this idiot, really thinks that the men working on the dock will not come. The shopkeepers of the nearby shops Will come to eat again.

If the shop does not open for business, it means that they will not have any income in the next few months. Everyone lives on the wages of this shop. Even the two guys hired by the shop don't want the shop to close. No wages for a month.

"Then how about this, Aning's side will be closed later in the evening, and the shop here will continue to open. Aning, you can bring Xuanxuan to live with me when the time comes, and it happens that Xuanxuan doesn't have to go to school anymore , you will live with me in winter, and when you find a shop next year, you will also live in a new residence with Xuanxuan, not here." Cao Xiangnan thought for a while and told everyone his thoughts.

It just so happens that Wanfeng will be born later, and Ah Ning can help take care of Wanfeng when he goes.

"As for this place, don't you have three rooms in the backyard? When the time comes, Dapeng, you will move here, and the two guys will also move here. I will go to Shimo to order a stone mill and have it delivered to me later. The pho is made here in this town, so there is no need to run around every day.” Originally, Cao Xiangnan wanted to move the pho to the town to make, but Aning lived here, and he couldn’t let Aning move away. Just keep doing it at his house.

He originally planned to wait until March next year to find a new shop, move Mala Tang to the new shop, and open another shop to sell snacks and snacks. These things are made by brothers and children. They like to eat, and it's just right to drive together.

But now everyone disagrees with him closing the shop here, so let’s move the pho here to make it in advance, and don’t have to worry about not being able to come to town when it snows.

"Okay, then I'll take Xuanxuan to live with you." Ah Ning also knew that Cao Xiangnan was concerned about his single brother living in the backyard with a child, so it was not good to let other people live in, otherwise the three rooms They only lived in one room, and the other two were wasted.

In addition, he also thought that Wanfeng's belly was about to give birth, and he could help take care of Wanfeng in the past, and Xuanxuan would have playmates there, so he didn't have to stay in this small yard in winter.

Cao Dapeng agreed without thinking.

"What about me?" Seeing that Cao Silang didn't mention him, Sun Yanshan asked.

"It will be cold by then, and there won't be many people eating here. Uncle Sun, you can stay in Caojia Village and don't use the shop here. Aji will be back next month. If there is anything to do, let him Sun Jilai ran away." Cao Xiangnan thought of Sun Yanshan's old father and old mother at home, and when the cold winter and lunar months were unusual, the two old people also needed personal care.

Instead of Sun Ji coming back to take care of grandpa, it is better for Sun Yanshan, a son, to go back and take care of old grandpa and grandma. It is better to let young people run outside in winter, than Sun Yanshan, grandpa, to run outside.

"Aji is coming back?" Sun Yanshan thought his son was going to stay in Nanyang, but when he heard that his son was coming back, he was very happy.After listening to Cao Silang's arrangement, he also felt good, "Then wait for A Ji to come back, and I'll go back home and let A Ji come over here."

After discussing with everyone, it was decided that the shop will continue to open for business in winter, and the food for the winter must be prepared in advance, and it will start to prepare in a while.Fortunately, it is in the town here, and it is convenient to buy rice and grain. If you go to the grain store to order it, someone will deliver it. The problem is not very good.
