They can't go to other people's houses to take care of other people's affairs.
It's just that in the current state, the only way is for them to live in another place.In this way, if they live with a few uncles and a few families, the elders can help him take care of the children at home.
"Well, if you live here, it's good to be close." There are some things in the village that the old man knows very well, and he knows what kind of family his grandson used to live next door to.
The eldest grandson is usually not at home, only the two little girls are at home with their younger siblings, so he is not very relieved.
"Our family didn't have much land at the beginning, and it wasn't connected together. In the past, your father and your uncles shared the land, and the land was drawn by lottery. The old man sighed, unwilling to bring up those things in the past again.
"Grandpa, please ask them what they mean, and see if the land next door can be used by our family. I will pay to buy it from them." Qiao Minglang calculated the money in his hand, and now he has to take out some money. It is a bit difficult for him to get a sum of money to buy land.
This matter will have to be done sooner or later, why not let the old man ask others what they think, if the price is right, they can buy the land and then talk about building a house.
"You bought a lot of money for the land, do you still have any money?" The old man was worried that his grandson didn't have much money in his hand. A group of them were all studying and needed food and clothing.Even though he knew that his two grandsons had opened a store in the city, the store has only just opened and how much money it can make.
The old man wanted his grandchildren to live in the elder son's house, but there were not enough houses on their side. The two elder grandsons were married and each lived in a house.The two of them lived in the same house for a long time, he lived in the old house, and the old woman lived in the same house, so he couldn't let his grandson live in the same house with him.
"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about this, I will find a way to solve it myself." Qiao Minglang understood the old man's worries, and just reassured the old man that he would handle these things by himself.Money comes in from the shop every day, and by the end of the year, he should be able to loosen up his money a bit, and it shouldn't be too difficult to buy a piece of land.
As long as we buy the land, we can find a way to build a house next year.
"Okay, grandpa will help you to ask tomorrow." Looking at his grandson, the old man sighed in his heart, and promised to help him to ask.
After talking with the old man for a while, Qiao Minglang got up, and told the old man that he wanted to go to his grandpa, "Grandpa, I'll go and see my grandpa, and I'll be back later."
Mr. Qiao showed some respect for the scholar to the old man of his in-laws. Seeing that his grandson was going to visit his grandfather, he didn't stop him, "Well, go. You haven't been back for so long, you are going to visit your grandfather."
"Okay, Grandpa, let's go."
After telling the old man, Qiao Minglang was ready to go out. He asked the two little girls in the family to play with the twins at the uncle's house, and he only took his younger brother Qiao Mingcheng out.
***
The two brothers walked four or five miles before they reached the village where their grandfather lived.
Just when the school was on holiday, Zhang Huaishan also returned to his hometown from the city with his wife and two children.Qiao Minglang took his younger brother there, and met his uncle and aunt who came back.
Zhang Mingde was very happy to see his two grandchildren, "I wanted to go over to see if you came back. It just so happened that your uncle and aunt came back today, so I was thinking of going to see you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you Two will come."
"Grandpa, uncle." Qiao Minglang greeted grandpa and uncles.
"Hey, you child, I still think about when you will come back, and wait for someone who doesn't see you." The aunt saw the nephew coming, and talked about the nephew who had been waiting for a month, " The school has just started, and our side is also busy. If it weren't for our side's busyness, I would have said that I would find you at your school some time, but I don't know which class you are in."
The last time we met, the uncle left him his home address and phone number, but Qiao Minglang really forgot about it, and after explaining it clearly to the two elders, he said: "After I go back this time, I will definitely find a time Visit my uncle's house."
"Oh, yes, your first-year freshmen are going to military training." The eldest aunt knew that her nephew went to military training for half a month before coming back after school, and it was quite understandable.However, my aunt still repeatedly told my nephew to go to their house to play when he went to the city.
Seeing his nephew, Zhang Huaishan asked about his nephew studying at school. He has been a teacher for more than [-] years, and he has taught tens of thousands of students, if not thousands.
Teacher Zhang treats this nephew just like he treats his own students. Chunchun told him that he must be serious, persistent and patient in studying.
For the guilt of his own sister, Zhang Huaishan put it on his nephews, trying to make up for them.Zhang Huaishan naturally hopes that his nephew can study hard and become a talent in the future, "You are studying in the city, and you will often come to your uncle's house when you have free time. We are a family, so don't treat others like that."
"Okay, Minglang will go." Qiao Minglang respectfully listened to the elder's instruction, and promised to visit his uncle's house more often.
Seeing his uncle and aunt bringing the children back to accompany grandpa for the festival, he was worried that grandpa would spend the festival alone, so he wanted to take grandpa to their house for the festival.Now that his uncle and aunt were back, he gave up on this thought.
After sitting at his grandfather's house for a long time, thinking about the other children, he told the elders that Qiao Minglang rushed home with his younger brother.
The old man stood at the door, looking at his grandson who came and left in a hurry, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
***
When they got home, they didn't expect someone to be there, so Qiao Minglang guessed that the person might still be in their uncle's house, so he went to their uncle's house again.
At this time in the afternoon, Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao had already sold out their items and returned home from the outside.
Seeing the two nephews coming back, Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "I was wondering when you would come back from grandpa's house. Do you know that Xiaohui and the others are here with me. Fortunately, you were smart enough to find them yourself."
"I'll have dinner at my aunt's house tonight, so I don't need to go back home to cook. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you also come to my aunt's house for dinner, and celebrate the festival with my aunt."
"That's right, you guys have to cook for yourself when you go back, so you'll stay at Uncle's house to eat, and you'll come over tomorrow." Uncle Qiao said.
"Brother." Seeing that her brother was back, Qiao Xiaohui ran over and whispered something about how the aunt had asked them to stay for dinner.
"This will trouble you, auntie." If it was normal, Qiao Minglang would not bring his younger brothers and sisters to eat at his uncle's house. It happened that tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he would not have disobeyed the elders' good intentions.
"It's nothing troublesome, we are all a family, so don't say such polite words in the future." Aunt Qiao said with a smile.
At this moment, the kitchen was still cooking, and after a few words with her nephew, Mrs. Qiao went into the kitchen to help.
Uncle Qiao left his nephew to talk. Yesterday when his son came back, he already told him about opening a shop in the city.If his son is in business with other people, he is not at ease, but if it is with this nephew, Uncle Qiao has nothing to worry about.
If it weren't for this nephew, the few of them might not even be able to eat enough.
It has only been a few short months now, and the life of their family has undergone earth-shaking changes. The most obvious thing is that there is now a bit of meat on the dining table where they eat every day.Even if adults like them are reluctant to eat, they will give their children some meat.
The two little grandchildren in the family have been raised for several months, and each of their little faces has grown a little flesh, and they are better raised than before.
"Minglang, you're back from your grandfather's house." Seeing his cousin talking to his father, Qiao Mingshan also sat down on the small stool next to him.Qiao Minglang responded with a smile, and asked the eldest brother if he was going to sell things with his sister-in-law, with a hint of humor in his words.
"Haha, yes, seeing that your sister-in-law is working so hard, I'll come back and help her." Faced with his cousin's joke, Qiao Mingshan admitted generously. He couldn't bear his wife's hard work. What's the matter?
The sun in the west is about to set, and the meals in the kitchen are ready.
Aunt Qiao brought her two daughters-in-law and nieces to help, and a group of women cooked the meal, "The meal is ready, everyone is coming to eat."
"Let's go, let's go eat." Uncle Qiao got up and called his son and nephews to eat together.
The two families ate together, and they couldn't sit at one table, so they divided two tables before they could sit down.
After having dinner at the uncle's house, Qiao Minglang took a group of brothers and sisters home after talking to the old man and the uncles.
After the autumnal equinox, the sun goes down quickly, and it gets dark quickly.
When they got home, a group of people lined up to take a shower one by one, and it was getting dark.
After sleeping until midnight, Qiao Minglang woke up when he heard a man's cries and roars from the yard next door. He sat up from the bed and felt the little guy beside him tremble. He patted the child's body lightly. .
Hearing this sound in the middle of the night is really a bit creepy.
"Brother." Qiao Mingcheng also woke up, and leaned against his brother, feeling a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, it's fine. We've closed the door of the house. Before you go to bed, you must check the doors and windows of your house and close them." Qiao Minglang did not live in the previous house when he came back this time. Go, but live in a house with two younger brothers.
Xiaobao pestered him to sleep with him, so he didn't want to take the child to another room to sleep alone, for fear that after he went back to school, the child would not get used to sleeping with another brother and would make trouble at night, so he stayed Sleeping in my brother's house.
