Chapter 22

He also knew that there were all kinds of people in the Youth League. Just as he was about to say something, a woman came out of the kitchen and said, “Hey, this is the new Youth League. She’s really pretty.”

“My goodness, this girl has delicate skin and tender flesh. How did she grow up? She is really rare.”

“I am the wife of your team leader. My name is Liang Xiu, and they all call me Aunt Xiu.”

Si Yinni was so sweet-talking that she went up and hugged Liang Xiu’s arm: “Aunt Xiu, please talk to Uncle Liang and rent us a yard. We have never experienced that at home. The Youth League Home is too messy. We like quietness. Please help us.

I miss my mom. This is the first time I’ve left home. Those people in the Youth Farm were so fierce just now. I almost cried.”

Liang Xiu also has a son who is still in high school. When he saw this delicate and tender daughter, he felt so distressed.

“Laoliang, please help them, they are such poor children.”

“Come to Aunt Xiu’s house for dinner if you have nothing to do. Aunt Xiu’s cooking skills are great. I guarantee you’ll want more after eating.”

Si Yinni blinked and looked at Feng Moyan, “We also invited Uncle Hao to dinner tonight, but how can we invite him if we don’t have a place to stay? Why don’t we bring some food and cook at Aunt Xiu’s place? We won’t eat for free and bring our own food. Is that ok, Aunt Xiu?”

Zhang Liang’s face tightened: “What are you talking about? As the captain, I can’t even afford a meal.”

“My eldest brother’s family has a house. Their children have moved to other provinces because they are successful. You can rent it. Pay the one-time fee for one year. It is non-refundable!”

Wow, Liang Xiu was surprised. When did the old man become so easy to talk to? He even rented out his eldest brother’s house.

This house is one of the best in the village. Many people are eyeing it and don’t want to rent it out. The old man also likes these children.

Who doesn’t like good-looking girls? Whenever she has a cute girl, her life will be complete.

“Come on, I’ll take you to see the house. It’s not far from us. That kid is going to be very successful. I heard he’s going to be a high-ranking official.

My eldest brother is really enjoying himself. He usually looks after the kids, cooks, and has gained weight.”

It was obvious that Liang Xiu praised everyone she met, with a big smile on her face. It was obvious that she had a good relationship with her uncle.

Hao Han watched them walk out the door, then followed them. Looking at the place they parked at the door, he was a little stunned, “Are you finally willing to rent it out?”

Zhang Liang has always been afraid that this place would be destroyed. This is the house that his eldest brother built with his lifetime of hard work. Even if his eldest brother will never come back in this life, he has to guard it well.

“Come in, there are five rooms here, one main room, four side rooms, and a warehouse for miscellaneous things.

The toilet is probably a bit broken, it can be repaired. There is a well here, so you don’t have to go to the village to fetch water. The rent is five yuan a month, which is 60 yuan a year. Is that acceptable?”

Feng Moyan was very satisfied with the location here. It was not far from the deep mountains at the back and he was considered to be a resident in the back row of the village. There were not many villagers around and whatever he did would not attract attention.

“I am very satisfied. How about you?”

What opinion could a man like Jiang Yuxuan have? He nodded immediately. It was enough for a man to have a bed to live in.

Si Yinni smiled and said, “It’s great that this place is so close to Aunt Xiu. I like it.”

Feng Moyan took out 100 yuan from his bag and handed it to Zhang Liang: “This is for the three of us, just write the contract.”

“For the remaining forty, can you arrange for someone to repair the roof for us? I see that several tiles are broken, and we also need to rebuild the toilet and bathroom.

I’ll draw a picture when the time comes. After all, Jiang Yuxuan lives with us, otherwise it would be inconvenient.”

“Since this is our home, we won’t move around. It will remain the same as when we came.”

Liang Xiu looked at the pile of luggage in the car and said, “Hurry up and go home to eat, and then pack up properly after dinner.”

Feng Moyan picked up the package and walked towards the yard. “I’ll finish unloading first and then go. I have some food here. I’ll take it with me.”

Hao Han felt that the girl was a bit reckless. He also felt that the ox cart was a little lighter. He didn’t know what was so heavy on the ox cart.

The three of them agreed that Feng Moyan would live in the main house, and the other two chose the ventilated side room.

Feng Moyan held a heavy bag of rice, bacon, noodles, and brown sugar in his arms and said, “Let’s go eat.”

Zhang Liang’s eyebrows twitched a little. What’s wrong with this girl being a little silly? “We have everything at home. No need to bring anything.”

“I didn’t bring this for you, I brought it for Aunt Xiu. I want to eat meat, too. I haven’t cooked by myself since my parents left. I want to eat some.”

Liang Xiu looked at her with pity, tears in her eyes: “Come on, Aunt Xiu will give you some noodles and two eggs. They are delicious. I will cook meat for you tonight.”

“Let me tell you, the braised pork and fried bacon I made are delicious. Give me a bowl of rice. I won’t trade it for anything.”

Zhang Liang pulled Hao Han along, but Hao Han shook his head and said, “Your aunt is waiting for me. I’d better go home to eat and come to your place in the evening.”

“You need to keep a close eye on the educated youth and the villagers. These three children are not bad. Don’t let them get bullied. One of them has a better family background than the other. Maybe you can even get promoted.”

After Zhang Liang retired from the army, he could work in the county according to his military rank, but his father was ill at the time, his eldest brother was taking care of the children and sister-in-law, and his wife could not support herself with the children.

He had no choice but to give up his job and ask for money, then returned to the village to farm and became the team leader.

He has ambitions in his heart, but he is worried because the village has not been able to develop.

When Zhang Jiacheng returned home, he saw a chubby kid waiting at the door. “Dad, why did you come back just now? I’m hungry.”

“Niuniu is hungry, why don’t you ask your mother to feed you.”

Niuniu hugged his neck and said in a baby voice: “Mom said that we must wait for Dad to come home for dinner. This is the rule.”

Zhang Jiacheng loves his little daughter very much. She is not only obedient but also well-educated by his wife.

“Laimei, is daddy back? It’s time to eat.”

His wife Hu Lai was serving food in the kitchen. “Okay, I’ve been waiting for you.”

“I was thinking of asking Fat Tiger to call you. Hurry up and wash your hands. Your daughter is hungry just now.”

Zhang Hao poured him half a glass of water: “How are the educated youth this time?”

Zhang Jiacheng took the food from his wife, put the child on a small stool, and shook his head: “It’s hard to say. Three people moved out to live alone. They rented the yard where my uncle used to live. Uncle Liang brought them there.”

“The one you told me about is in there. I guess Uncle Liang has considered this as well.”

“That Shao Wenwen is not someone you can get along with easily. She keeps finding faults along the way and keeps saying dirty things. Keep your children away from people like her.”

Hu Lai and Jiang Cuihua came in with bowls in their hands: “Eat quickly, we still have work to do in the afternoon. The educated youths are just that, and they are annoying all day long. You better stay away from them, because they have evil intentions.”

Hu Lai laughed out loud: “Don’t worry, Mom. Jiacheng never talks to female educated youth. Besides, we have children now, and our life is good.”

They were all eating their meal in a warm atmosphere, but waves of people were arriving at the Youth League Home one after another.
