The house at the end of Shizuizi is backed by the mountain, and the terrain in front is flat and open, with a small yard and a large vegetable garden.

Qiao Lian took a cursory look, and it was estimated that there were about two acres of land in the vegetable garden alone.

In front of the vegetable garden, there are six or seven acres of land, and a little further on, there is the river beach.

On the other side of the river, there is a stone stone, a bit like an eagle's beak, and a little bit of Wang Ba's head, so some people also call this place Wang Ba's neck.

The house is generally not too good, three woodcarved houses, it seems that it has not been repaired for several years, and the yellow mud pasted on the outside is a little off, but fortunately it is OK inside, not breathable.

The roof was covered with shingles, and it was a little dilapidated, and there was grass growing on the roof. The house is similar to other people's houses, the east and west houses are spread on the south kang, and there is no partition between the kitchen and the inner room, only a section of earthen wall.

There was no furnishings in the house, it was bare, and the pot stove was gone, only the black hole was left.

This is not difficult to understand, as soon as the old couple who originally lived in this house died, the things in the house should have been taken away by others while they were not paying attention.

Qiaolian's mother and son don't have any luggage, and they don't care that there are no furnishings in the house, so they will slowly add it in the future, as long as there is a place to live and shelter from the wind and rain, the rest are not in a hurry.

"The place is a little simple, wait for me to get you two boxes and a few cabinets for you when I'm free."

Zhang Wenguang is a capable person, he knows carpenter's skills, and he can make boxes and cabinets at home, anyway, it is a little rougher, not as good as a serious carpenter, but it is still very good for home use.

"We still have an idle pot at home, I'll bring it to you to use first, and there must be a cook.

Tomorrow I will bring you some food and vegetables, and I can't let you buy all of them to eat, so I should deal with the past few months before the beginning of spring, and then talk about it later. ”

Zhang Wenguang said so, and he really did it the next day, and his younger brother Zhang Wenxing and the two of them drove the horse and the plow to pull Qiao Lianniang and the three over.

There was also a big iron pot in the car, 50 catties of small ballast, 50 catties of bud grain noodles, 20 sauerkraut, 10 Chinese cabbage, more than a dozen large radish, and half a pocket of potatoes.

In addition, there are some miscellaneous things such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which are full of climbing plows, and they send Qiaolian's mother and son to Shizuizi.

"Okay, second sister, the pot is set up for you, and the kang will not smoke when it is burning. You can keep this food for now, and if it is not enough, tell me, and I will bring it to you.

The three of you live in peace, no matter what happens, don't panic, if anyone dares to bully you, remember to go back to the village to find me, I am here, and I will not let others bully you. ”

Zhang Wenguang and the two brothers helped Qiaolian settle everything up, and gave a few more instructions, so they left with confidence.

"Brother-in-law, I just settled down and don't have anything to entertain you, wait for a few days for me to come over, invite my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, as well as Second Brother Zhang and Second Sister-in-law Zhang to come over, and the big guys will be lively together."

Qiao Lian chased out and shouted at the back of the Zhang brothers.

Zhang Wenguang waved his hand, "Okay, don't worry, let's talk about it when you're settled."

At night, you must remember to plug the door well, this side is close to the mountain, there is nothing to eat in the mountains in winter, so you are afraid that wild beasts will come, so be careful. ”

Zhang Wenguang said a few more words, and then drove the horse to climb the plow and left.

Seeing Zhang Wenguang leave, Qiao Lian turned around and entered the courtyard and closed the gate casually.

When I turned around, I happened to see Jiakang Jiayuan and the two children, staring at her with big eyes. "Why don't you two come into the house?"

Jiakang looked up at his mother, "Mother, is this our new home?" In the future, we won't have to live at my aunt's house? Jiakang seemed to have something on his mind, and he looked a little happy.

Qiao Lian stretched out her hand and led the two children to the house.

"Yes, this is our home, we will live here in the future, and my aunt's house just has to sit and sit in the empty space, and I don't live in my aunt's house."

Although the house is not very luxurious, fortunately, it is also her own home, Qiaolian suddenly felt a sense of belonging, and her heart suddenly settled down.

"Great, so that Brother Wan Qi won't always scold us.

They always said that we were poor worms that no one wanted, so we lived on my aunt's house. ”

After all, Jiakang is a small person, so he can't hide his thoughts, and as soon as he is happy, he tells the gossip he heard before.

Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment, and her face was a little not good-looking.

Wan Qi is a child of the second brother's family, six years old this year, how can such a young child say such a thing, he must have heard what his family said at home and remembered it in his heart, and then when he saw Jiakang, he used this to hit Jiakang.

Qiao Lian sighed, she really didn't expect her brother and sister-in-law to say this, she had only lived in her sister's house for a few days, and these people looked at her with red eyes, and squeezed her openly and secretly.

Fortunately, now that she has moved out, she is far away from the village, so she doesn't have to look at her brother and sister-in-law's face in the future, and Jiakang doesn't have to listen to what those children say when she goes out.

"Jiakang, Jiayuan, now that we have our own house and a place to shelter from the wind and rain, we will depend on our mother and the three of us in the future."

"You are both sensible and good children, and you will help your mother more in the future.

The three of us must live a good life, so that those who look down on us will admire us and dare not speak ill of us again. Good no good? ”

Qiaolian squatted down, looked at the two children at eye level, and made a request to the children.

"My mother said well, we all listen to my mother's words, I will be older in the future, I can help with the work at home, mother, don't worry.

I want to grow up quickly, grow into a man, and protect my mother and sister. Jiakang said with a firm gaze.

"Mother, I will definitely help you work more in the future, our family will be fine, we will all help my mother." Jiayuan also expressed her position.

Qiao Lian stretched out her hand, hugged the two children in her arms, and patted the two children on the back, "Okay, as long as you understand and support your mother, our family will definitely be able to live a good life."

Let's go, let's go into the house, my mother will cook for you, and tomorrow my mother will buy some household goods for living. Qiaolian straightened up and stepped into the room with one hand in her hand.

There were piles of grain and vegetables sent by Zhang Wenguang on the ground, Qiao Lian took a look, and there was no place to put them in the house, so she simply moved all the grains and vegetables to the West House Kang.

At present, a pot is installed in the stove pit on the east side, and the three of them live in the east house, and the west house is idle and does not burn the fire, so it is good to put things, and then find someone to build a shelf in the future, and then settle the food again.

Qiao Lian put away all the food and vegetables one by one, sorted everything in order, and then turned around and went out to the yard to fetch water.

There is a well in the yard, but there is no need to go all the way to the river to fetch water, Qiaolian is still very satisfied.

Carrying a bucket of water back, Qiao Lian started to make dinner. There are no dishes and chopsticks at home, so I can only paste cakes and nibble on some pickles, so I deal with it.

After dinner, the three mothers laid out a set of bedding borrowed from the Zhang family, and Qiaolian left a warm place for the two children on the kang, and coaxed the two children to sleep.
