Chapter 194 I’m going to notify my family to move.
After introducing each other, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran first followed the Zhao clan leader to visit the two empty courtyards of the Zhao family.
When a group of people entered the Zhao family's territory, the first impression Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran had was that it was completely different from the brand-new brick and tile house of Cui Lizheng's family.
These are all adobe houses. Although there are some signs of repairs, they still look solid.
Patriarch Zhao pointed to a courtyard with the shortest wall in front and said: "This is our family's old house. Later, because our sons were getting older and wanted to marry wives, it was a bit crowded to live here, so we moved to a new place and built a new one."
A slightly larger yard.”
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran looked at each other and walked towards the yard together.
The yard is not too small, with three main rooms in the middle, two wing rooms on the east and west sides, and a half-acre vegetable garden in the backyard.
Patriarch Zhao saw them looking around, came over and asked with a smile: "This house looks a bit old, but the good thing is that the walls are tight, so it will definitely be fine for winter."
Mo Jiuye did not express his opinion. There were only three yards available for rent, and he couldn't be picky.
"Clan Chief Zhao, let's go and see another place!"
Chief Zhao knew that there were many exiles sent by official missions this time, but he did not know how many families there were in total.
Seeing Mo Jiuye say this, he guessed that Mo Jiuye didn't like this courtyard.
Chief Zhao is not discouraged. The other courtyard also belongs to his clan. As long as he can rent one out, it can be considered as income.
Patriarch Zhao called a clan member.
"Zhao Fu, take Lao Jiu and his wife to see your yard."
Zhao Fu quickly ran in front of a few people to lead the way, praying in his heart that the house could be rented out successfully, so that the family would have an extra income.
The yard of Zhao Fu's house is similar to that of Patriarch Zhao, except that the house looks slightly better.
After checking, Mo Jiuye looked at Patriarch Zhao and Zhao Fu who were staring at him eagerly.
"I wonder what the price is for renting these two yards of yours?"
Zhao Fu always listened to the clan leader and directly gave him the right to speak.
Patriarch Zhao is a kind man. Even if he knew that Mo Laojiu was eager to rent a house, he would not open his mouth like a lion.
"These two yards have been idle for several years. If they are idle, they will be idle. You can just give them two hundred coins a month."
This price is really cheap for Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.
You know, renting an inn for ten people will cost at least one hundred yuan a night.
A large courtyard with several rooms only costs 200 yuan a month, which shows that this patriarch is a very down-to-earth person.
Mo Jiuye also knew in his heart that he had to rent this yard no matter what. After all, the three of them needed to rent a house, and there were only three free yards here.
"Clan Chief Zhao, we have rented both of these courtyards. We will discuss the details with you after we have seen the Zhou family's courtyard."
This news was very shocking to Patriarch Zhao. He thought that the two courtyards were the same, but he didn't like the first one, and he didn't like the second one either.
Unexpectedly, they were all rented out.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you to the Zhou family right now."
As Patriarch Zhao spoke, he made an invitation gesture and planned to personally send Mo Jiuye and his wife to the Zhou family.
"No need, I will take them to see the yard myself."
Patriarch Zhou followed them from a distance, thinking that after seeing the Zhao family's yard, nothing would happen to the Zhou family, so he followed them just to watch the fun.
Unexpectedly, someone actually asked to go to Zhou's house to look at the yard.
How could Patriarch Zhou not be more positive about such a good thing?
Patriarch Zhou seems to be much older than Patriarch Zhao, and he walks a little slower.
Fortunately, the distance between the two families' residences is not far, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk.
The Zhou family's courtyard is indeed, as Patriarch Zhou said, larger than the two courtyards of the Zhao family.
It is also an adobe house, with six main rooms, two east and west wing rooms, and the entire courtyard is rectangular.
There is also a vegetable garden in the backyard, which can cover an area of one acre.
Although they are all adobe houses, they are much larger than the Zhao family's yard, and there is a well in the center of the yard.
Comparing the three houses, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran liked this one better.
However, with the Xie family and Fang family still present, it was difficult for them to settle down quickly.
At least inform the other two companies before making a decision.
Mo Jiuye still asked about the price first: "Clan Chief Zhou, how much is the rent for this yard?"
Patriarch Zhou said with a smile: "The Zhao family's yard is not as big as mine, and the rent is two hundred cash per month. My place is slightly bigger, so how about three hundred cash?"
He was afraid that if the price was too high, people would not rent, and he would lose an income in vain.
Compared with the Zhao family's house, the price is very reasonable.
Mo Jiuye nodded without hesitation: "Okay, we will rent this yard too."
Winter in the northwest is cold, and snow may fall. Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran have already seen it. Basically, there is an earthen kang in every room. This not only plays a role in keeping warm, but also saves them time.
No worries about bed for now.
Therefore, Mo Jiuye decided to move in tonight. Although the house was a bit deserted without anyone living all year round, it was still warmer than living in a tent.
After making up her mind, Mo Jiuye spoke: "Two clan heads, we plan to move in overnight, do you have any objections?"
"No objection, no objection. If you need help, we can all help." Patriarch Zhao said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go and notify my family to move."
After saying this, Mo Jiuye pulled He Zhiran and strode towards the foot of the mountain.
Everyone is still awake at this time.
Fifth Brother is also coming back from the house on the east side at this moment. Although he still looks a little weak, as long as he doesn't make any big movements, he will be fine.
Besides, he has his fifth sister-in-law taking good care of him all the time, so there is no need for anyone to worry.
After the two returned home, they told the good news.
Everyone seemed very excited when they heard that they had rented a yard.
The feeling of biting cold wind in the tent last night was still fresh in their memory. Thinking of that coldness, they all didn't want to sleep.
It's good now, they finally rented a yard, and they don't have to suffer from the cold tonight.
After everyone's excitement subsided, Mo Jiuye told the situation of the three yards and asked the Xie family and Fang family where they wanted to rent.
There is no doubt that the Fang family and the Xie family have already followed the Mo family, and of course the good yard should be given to them.
The two families offered to rent two courtyards of the Zhao family respectively, leaving the largest courtyard of the Zhou family to the Mo family.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were already optimistic about the Zhou family's yard, and there was no dispute about it.
After agreeing, everyone got up and packed their bags.
They were all exiled, and they had nothing with them except some luggage and a few simple daily necessities. Moving was very simple, as long as each person carried a few belongings.
