Chapter 212 That family of five

In fact, before they got married, Qin Zhiyi had already set his sights on a manor outside the city.

It happened to happen when she was out of boredom.

The officials said that their owner had not been in Yunyang County for many years, and that the manor needed to be dealt with. There were radishes, cabbages, and even a large patch of winter melons growing in it, and several pigs and more than a dozen chickens and ducks were fed.

There are still a lot of empty places left, and there are seven or eight wing rooms. Although the layout is not as good as the one she lives in in the city, it is still a good place after all.

Especially the more than 20 acres of land around it, Qin Zhiyi immediately took a fancy to it.

Although she asked her brother and sister-in-law in Qinjiazhuang to collect things, fresh vegetables are best.

Qinjiazhuang is dozens of miles away from Yunyang County. Even if you take an ox cart to get there, it will take you most of a day.

Not to mention the trouble, the dishes that were delivered were also quite wilted.

Especially in summer, the dishes delivered cannot be used in time and can only be used the next day. No matter how well she preserves them, many of them are spoiled.

It would be most convenient if you had your own farm outside the city, where you could grow vegetables and raise poultry to directly supply the restaurant.

Now that she has the manpower, Zhuangzi is convinced, and she plans to go over and negotiate the price when she has some free time.

Qin Zhiyi asked He Changxuan to take a few of them to fill their bellies first, and then take them back to the house to wash up and change into clean clothes.

And she and Fei Chengsheng took a carriage to the manor outside the city.

The person who guards Zhuangzi is an old housekeeper who is already in his sixties, with a sparse beard and gray hair.

When he saw them coming, he greeted them happily.

After all, when they inquired yesterday, the old housekeeper told them that the master limited the sale of the manor to this month, and if he could not sell it, he would not be able to stay here any longer.

Qin Zhiyi finally understood that if Zhuangzi could not be sold, the old housekeeper would have to move out.

So when I saw her coming again, my eyes were full of joy.

Qin Zhiyi got off the carriage, and Fei Chengsheng reached out to help her down. The old housekeeper came up to meet her from a distance, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My wife brought the master with her today, but she has taken a fancy to this manor?"

Qin Zhiyi nodded: "I took a look at it yesterday and thought it was good, so I'll come over to take a look today."

After saying that, she looked at Fei Chengsheng, who followed, "If you think it's appropriate, there's no problem in buying it."

The price of this manor and the land is not expensive at all.

With only three hundred taels in total, Qin Zhiyi took Fei Chengsheng in and walked around. Although there were seven or eight houses, they were all tidied up.

The old housekeeper only lived in one room, and it seemed that he had always lived here before.

There is a vegetable garden outside the house. Perhaps one person cannot plant too much, just a few vegetable plots.

But those vegetables were full of vitality, with green and plump leaves, and they looked like they had been carefully tended.

She took Fei Chengsheng to see other places. Even the more than twenty acres of land were all planted with wheat. It was green and beautiful at this time of year.

The old housekeeper followed behind and explained: "I am alone, and I am too old to farm so much land. I also told my master that I originally suggested that he rent it to people nearby, but my master asked me to find someone to farm it."

I got the seeds and said it would be easier to sell them when the next owner takes over."

She nodded and said: "Your master is really a smart businessman. The reason why I took a fancy to your house yesterday was because I took a fancy to the wheat."

The old housekeeper smiled with mixed feelings.

Qin Zhiyi knew what he was thinking and handed him the money that he had prepared before: "This is the money your master paid for selling the house. After you have collected it, you should still go by the original statement. The house, including the fields outside the house, will

It's all mine, right?"

The old housekeeper held the silver in both hands and replied respectfully: "To my wife, that's exactly what I said. I will hand over all the deeds of the house and land to my wife."

She nodded with satisfaction. The wheat was so green and the growth rate was so good. In addition to the daily maintenance of the old housekeeper, it also had something to do with whether the land was fertile.

Seeing the old housekeeper still standing there with a bitter look on his face, Qin Zhiyi said again: "You go back and give the money to your master. If he is willing to take you to a new place, he will be free to go or stay as you please. If he refuses to take you,

, you will still stay here and be your housekeeper."

"I live in the city and will often come over to see everything in the house, including the poultry inside and the crops outside. I will also bring some people over later to take care of it with you."

When the old housekeeper heard this, he was so grateful that he burst into tears.

He was bought back by his master when he was eight years old. He worked hard all his life and was alone in his family.

I thought I would be taken in by my master for the rest of my life, but who would have thought that the master would have a son, and several sons would fight for the family property. In the end, the master would be the only one left.

It is difficult for the master to handle household chores, and he is too old to be the master. When he left, he had been told clearly that he could not be taken with him.

The young master will not want an old loser like him anymore. At such an old age, he has already tried his best even if he is looking at the manor.

If the manor is bought by someone, he will be left to fend for himself.

And he also made the worst plan. If the new owner bought a house and didn't want him, he would pack his bags and go out to beg for food. He could live day by day. If he couldn't survive, he would dig a hole somewhere and bury himself.

Now that he heard his new master's words, his legs stopped working and he knelt down with a plop.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, madam. As long as I can still walk, you will leave this manor to me. I will take care of it."

Fei Chengsheng stretched out his hand to help him up, but the old housekeeper was already in tears.

Qin Zhiyi knew that this world was difficult.

There are wars to be fought on the border from time to time, coupled with drought, and due to development reasons, ordinary people can live a good life.

And she is just one of the ordinary people. She does her best to run the restaurant well and expand the business, so that she can better benefit the people.

Her heart is just that big. If she can do her best, she will do her best. If she can't, she will try her best.

After returning from the manor, Fei Chengsheng didn't say a word.

Qin Zhiyi gently put her hand on his, and then said: "Although it can be considered a peaceful and prosperous time now, God has not shown favor in the past two years, so that's all we can do. The rest is to live peacefully.

What do you think?"

She knew what Fei Chengsheng was thinking.

This man is definitely no smaller than her, but he is just not good at expressing himself.

After hearing her words, Fei Chengsheng's slightly frowned eyebrows relaxed: "Yeah."

He responded softly, holding her hand but tightening it slightly: "It will definitely get better and better in the future."

After returning to the house, the family of five was already fully dressed.

The old lady seems to be a little sick and has been coughing non-stop since she came out.

The young woman looked at her with some worry, and whispered a few words into the old woman's ear. The old woman had tried to hold it back, but she still coughed.

In this era, if you are not treated in time if you are infected with cold, it can be fatal.

She was afraid that the old woman would infect the two little ones, so she hurriedly asked someone to get her a facecloth to cover her mouth and nose, and then changed a carriage to take the family to a house outside the city.

Then he specifically said to He Changxuan: "When we get to the house, arrange for her to live in a separate room. After everything is done, call a doctor to take a look at her."
