After quickly packing up, a large group of people set off towards the village.
The rice ball followed He Zhiran sluggishly, for fear that the owner would leave it behind.
There were many people in the village, and He Zhiran was worried that the rice balls would be too conspicuous, so she slowed down her pace. When she fell behind the crowd, she waved her hand and put the rice balls into the space.
Everyone is busy moving now, so no one will notice that the rice balls are missing.
Even if he finds out, he can say that the little guy ran out to play.
Clan Chief Zhao and Clan Chief Zhou led several clan members to wait in the direction of their homes. When they saw a large number of people approaching, they hurriedly greeted them.
Mo Jiuye walked at the front. He first introduced the two clan heads to the Fang family and the Xie family.
Both the Fang family and the Xie family knew that they were renting the Zhao family yard.
The two went directly to Patriarch Zhao to pay the rent.
Mo Jiuye did the same, and he and He Zhiran went to the Zhou clan leader to pay the rent.
"Clan Chief Zhou, how long do you think we should pay the rent first?"
What Mo Jiuye thinks is that they can rent a house for more than half a year at most. When spring comes next year, they can build their own house. After the house is built, they will naturally move out.
If the other party asked for a year's rent, he would definitely say something.
Patriarch Zhou was also honest and honest, and said with a smile: "I guess you came here from the capital and don't have much money. You can just pay the rent monthly."
This was something neither of them expected.
When they rented a house in the Salt Lake area, the landlord insisted on paying at least three months' rent.
Later, if it weren't for the high rent and Peng Wang's eloquence, I'm afraid they wouldn't have rented a house to them even if they paid one month's rent.
However, the old man was able to consider that they might not be wealthy and asked for only one month's rent.
The two people's good impression of the old patriarch gradually increased.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran accepted this favor.
Just as He Zhiran was about to withdraw money from the space, the fifth brother was supported by the fifth sister-in-law and came over.
"Ninth brother and sister, your fifth brother said that he saved some money from hunting. We will pay the rent."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fifth Brother had taken out a cloth bag whose color could not be seen clearly from his arms. In front of everyone, he poured out a few pieces of silver from it and took a piece out of it and handed it to Patriarch Zhou.
Clan Chief Zhou held the broken silver in his hand and weighed it, and found that there was only a lot more.
The old man is quite serious in his work.
"This silver cannot be weighed now. Let my family take it to the city tomorrow to support it. I will give you the extra money in copper coins."
He Zhiran really liked such an honest old man.
"No, old man, you can keep the extra money to buy meat. If there is less, you can ask us for it."
A person who spends his whole life digging in the soil can't wait to grab water for a copper coin.
Moreover, over the years, he has been taken advantage of by the Cui family. He does not want to be like the Cui family, taking advantage of others everywhere.
"No, no, no, renting a house is renting a house. If you have too much money, you must return it."
Seeing the old man's sincere attitude, He Zhiran decided not to waste any time on this topic.
"Old man, it's getting late. Let's go to the yard to clean up earlier, and you should go back and rest earlier."
Clan leader Zhou nodded with a smile, and thoughtfully called on a few young clan members to help the female relatives move their things.
The Xie family and the Fang family also received the same courtesy. Patriarch Zhao only collected one month's rent from them and sent someone to take them to their residence.
The Mo family arrived at their residence. After checking it, Mrs. Mo personally assigned rooms to everyone.
The main house was naturally intended for her, an elder, to live in. The five main rooms on both sides were for Mo Zhongyuan and his wife, Mo Chuhan and his wife, and Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.
The remaining two rooms were given to the third sister-in-law alone, considering that Mo Yunfeng was still alive.
In the remaining room, the sisters-in-law agreed that living together would not only keep them warm, but also provide someone to talk to, so they collectively requested to live in one room.
Seeing this, Mrs. Mo gave them the largest room with Tukang.
As for Mo Hanyue, she was assigned to the east wing near the main house.
Mrs. Mo did not forget Liang Hao and others, and the five of them temporarily lived in the west wing.
The fifth brother already had some experience in village life. Seeing that the room was freezing cold, he went to collect some firewood and came back to keep everyone warm.
Collecting firewood was inevitable, but there were so many grown men around, and they couldn't let him do it anyway with such a weak body.
Mo Jiuye and Mo Chuhan had just stopped Fifth Brother and were about to go by themselves when they heard footsteps coming from outside the hospital.
The brothers strode to the door to investigate.
I saw two men from the Zhou family walking over carrying several bundles of firewood.
They placed the firewood directly at the door of Mo's house.
"This is what the clan leader asked us to bring. He said that you can't go up the mountain to collect firewood at night, so you can use these first."
Looking at the four large bundles of firewood in front of him, He Zhiran quickly took out a bunch of copper coins from the space and gave them to them.
The two men quickly refused.
"These firewood are all brought back from the mountains, and we don't need to pay for them."
After saying that, the two turned around and ran away.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
The gap between people in a village is so huge.
The Cui family always wants to take advantage and find trouble, while the Zhou and Zhao families are simple and honest.
It will be a blessing to be able to be neighbors with such people in the future.
Brothers Mo Jiuye and Mo Chuhan each carried two bundles of firewood and returned.
The sisters-in-law rushed forward to light the fire.
Along the way, they have basically learned life skills, and it is no longer difficult to make fire and cook.
Liang Hao and others were not idle either. Seeing a large water tank in the kitchen, they took the water tank to the well, cleaned it, and filled it with water.
The others went back to their rooms to simply clean the dust before going to bed.
It was already late at night after I finished my busy work.
After the sisters-in-law put out the stove fire, they went back to rest.
The rooms of Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were used as cover, and the two of them ducked directly into the space.
He Zhiran had been busy outside all day and his body was covered with dust. At this time, it was absolutely necessary to take a hot bath.
She played with the rice balls for a while, then went into the bathroom to wash up.
Mo Jiuye also washed herself and climbed into the double bed after she washed herself.
He Zhiran was so tired that not long after his head hit the pillow, he went to see Duke Zhou.
Mo Jiuye gently kissed her forehead, then lay beside her contentedly and fell asleep.
No matter how tired they were, the two of them could still wake up at dawn, tidy up, and leave the space together with the rice balls.
Liang Hao and others also got up early and went to the mountains to chop firewood. The sisters-in-law also came out of their rooms to prepare breakfast.
