The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 217: The Small House on Changshui Street

As soon as Su He saw that her goal had been achieved, she made an excuse to go to the next door to see Zhang's mother. Her mission was completed. The rest was up to the old lady, and the eldest daughter just had to not hold back.

Su He received an approving look from Zhang's mother and left proudly.

She took the carriage that came from the Zhao Mansion back to the inn. It was already dark.

As soon as we entered the inn, Liu Bai appeared and said, "I've bought you food. It's in your room."

Su He looked at Liu Bai in surprise, "Have you eaten?"

"No."

Su He hesitated for a moment, "Then come and have some food with me. The old lady gave me a house. Let's go and have a look together tomorrow, and then go back to Qingshan Village."

Liu Bai nodded and obediently followed Su He upstairs.

The table was filled with Su He's favorite dishes. The food was warm and tasted quite good.

The two of them ate in silence, neither of them spoke. Su He had been over-tasking all day and was tired. She planned to finish her meal quickly and rest in bed.

"Wait until you wake up tomorrow morning."

Perhaps noticing Su He's tiredness, Liu Bai took the initiative to talk to her.

"Well, if I'm still awake by noon, you must wake me up."

Liu Bai chuckled and said, "Okay, then you should go to bed early."

Su He waited for Liu Bai to close the door and then locked it. After getting fully armed, he went into the space to wash up.

A quarter of an hour later, he was lying on the bed eating an apple. After washing up, he felt more energetic lying on the bed. Su He crossed his legs and thought about something.

It’s no big deal now. She doesn’t have to worry about building a house. She can just farm the land and hire a tenant.

However, they have to hire everyone in the Tianyuan group. Can they find so many tenants at once?

There are too few honest and hardworking people.

Su He shook her head. She might as well just buy a few people. They would be nice to have. Her house was big, so they could live in the front yard. If Mu Tou needed anything, there would be someone to take care of him when she was not at home. Her uncle and his family would also be more relaxed.

It’s just right for me to buy it with Wang Qingqing then.

I will go see the house tomorrow, and then buy some food. There are piles of modern snacks in her space, but she is reluctant to eat too much at once. I will go to the snack shop tomorrow to buy some food of this era.

Su He was thinking and talking at the same time, and he finished eating in a short while. After eating, he threw the fruit core into the space, rolled up the quilt, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Not a second wasted.

The night was finally spent peacefully. Su He woke up by herself before ten o'clock in the morning. She packed up her things in the room and went out to find Liu Bai. They were going to check out today.

The two of them went to eat breakfast near the inn. Su He ate a meat bun and drank two bowls of seafood porridge, and then called it a day. Liu Bai finished the rest.

The two drove to the small house on Changshui Street. It was another 10 minutes' drive along this street to the pier. The pier was already very busy at this time, and Suho could feel the lively atmosphere across the alley.

This small house is quite nice. It is close to the downtown area but not too noisy, making it suitable for her to live in in her old age.

Liu Bai parked the car, and Su He jumped out by herself. This small house originally had a door plaque, and the mark on it was still there. It was probably prepared to be given to her a long time ago, so it was taken down in advance. There were three steps beside the door. The width of the door was about 1.5 meters, and the height was less than 3 meters.

Su He walked up and took out the key given by Zhao Qingli to open the door. When the door opened, there was a screen wall and she could walk to either side.

Su He walked to the left, and what came into view in front of him was a row of houses, the main house and two wing rooms on the left and right. The left wing was connected to a small kitchen, and the right wing was next to a small storage room. There was a large open space in front.

Blue brick and tile houses are common in the county town.

Liu Bai walked quickly forward and opened the doors one by one. After a quick inspection, he came back to report to Su He, "The furniture in the room is complete and everything looks good.

Su He nodded, and her satisfaction level rose little by little. The interior furnishings of the rooms on both sides were similar, with wardrobes, beds, washstands and dressing tables, all the basic necessities.

The main room is the living room, and there is an inner room inside. The furniture inside is relatively exquisite, made of pear wood, and Su He decided to use this as her room.

The front yard is very clean, and the backyard is even more pleasing to the eye. There is a big tree taller than the wall of the house. It is now February, and some buds have already appeared on the branches. It looks full of spring. Su He is already imagining the scene of flowers blooming in spring.

There was an open space on the side, with a stone table and four stone benches on it. The backyard here was far away from the dock. It was a good place to lie down quietly and have afternoon tea. However, she didn't like this stone table. It was cold to sit on it. She would find time to replace it later.

Su He was quite satisfied and took Liu Bai back to the front yard. The kitchen was next to the west wing. The east wing was empty and could be converted into a stable to store her mule carriage.

Su He looked around and thought about how to turn this house into his own warm home.

By the time I came out of the small house, an hour had passed.

"Xiaobai, this door has steps. If we want to let the carriage in, we need to put up a board. In this case, the screen wall will have to be moved back."

"You can ask a carpenter to make one. The screen wall should be at least three feet back."

Su He nodded. It was too late to make the wooden bridge today, so she asked someone in the village to make it and bring it next time so she could use it whenever she needed it.

"Let's go to the dock and have lunch there, then buy some food and go back to the village."

Liu Bai never had any objections. Su He got on the carriage with satisfaction. The nearest pier was Tianshui Wharf, where there was also a fish soup shop. Su He ordered a large bowl of fish soup and bought four white flour cakes. He and Liu Bai slowly enjoyed the soup at the busy pier. The boiling hot fish soup was very fresh, and the white flour cakes were white, soft and easy to chew. Su He could eat half a cake in one breath with the fish soup.

"Hey, have you heard that a group of disaster victims from the border went to the capital, most of them died on the way, and some were unlucky enough to be infected with the plague. The day before yesterday, I heard from a brother who just came from the capital that the remaining disaster victims were scared, and many of them came to our south."

"Come to our place? They have nothing to eat or drink along the way. They might die halfway."

"I heard that there was an order from above not to stop the disaster victims, and to give them porridge whenever they came across them. They came all the way to our south."

"Where can we put them here? You are well-informed, don't you know?"

After hearing this, Su He lost interest in even eating the bread. He held the bowl and pretended to drink the soup from the steamed bun, but in fact he didn't drink a single sip.

"There is no hope for Guangyuan County. It's just the outermost area. The farthest place is Qingshan Village and beyond. My brother-in-law's cousin's third uncle's grandson has acquaintances in the government office. He said that they are planning to gather all the disaster victims who come to Guangyuan at the outermost area and rebuild a village. They will give them some land and we can live like this."

Su He felt uncomfortable. Why couldn't the people be treated well under the emperor's feet? They, the people from the north, had finally escaped to the capital, thinking they would be rescued, but they didn't expect that they would still have to flee. It was really heartbreaking.

Sympathy aside, she should build her wall higher and protect her own family first.

Thinking of this, Su He wanted to go back to the village. She wanted to quickly tell Tian Yuan's group and make preparations early.
