"Sister, it's not all of them, there are some leftovers, some leftovers..." Tang Wen quickly comforted her.
"How much is left?"
Tang Tang grabbed his brother's arm.
The strength was so great that even Tang Wen, whose physical attribute was as high as 1.09, not inferior to a healthy adult, felt raw pain.
"I have to pay 300 kilograms of grain to move, and the annual rent is 240 kilograms, but there is a yard there, with a well and a woodshed. It is very safe..." He observed his sister's face and said carefully.
Tang Tang stood up straight: "300+240, 540 pounds! It scares me to death. We still have a lot left. I packed the pheasants and gave them more chestnuts. It won't be easy for us to move."
Tang Wen:......
A few minutes later, he came out with a small sack and handed it directly to Xiao Liang.
"Pheasant? The little brother turned out to be a hunter?" Xiao Liang took the bag and smiled again.
The driver unloaded a scale from the donkey cart.
Tang Wen took a few more glances and felt that this scale was more like a technological product.
He asked casually: "Is this a scale? I've never seen it before."
Xiao Liang said proudly: "There are also new gadgets brought by the caravan, including clocks and textile looms. You will know about them when you join the guard in two years."
As they talked, the siblings took out cans and buckets of corn from the house and poured them into the sacks brought by the driver.
Once the bag is filled and tied, it's time to weigh it.
The driver and Tang Wen put the huge bag on the scale together.
Tang Tang stared at the scale.
The driver distinguished the numbers on it and read: "One hundred and seventeen, uh, one hundred and eighty-nine pounds."
While he was reading, Xiao Liang, who was standing nearby, suddenly stepped on a scale with one leg and asked calmly: "Do you see clearly?"
"See clearly! One hundred and eighty-nine pounds! It's tall." The driver was very sure.
Tang Tang looked at the scale and his legs, with a hint of "this is okay" in his clear eyes.
"Okay, 189 kilograms of chestnuts." He shouted, his voice so loud that even passersby heard it.
When passers-by saw his red armband, no one stopped, as if if they stayed for a second longer, they would be asked for rent.
A few minutes later, the second bag of chestnuts was weighed.
Xiao Liang repeated his old tricks, and one hundred and fifteen pounds became one hundred and ninety-three pounds!
Tang Tang's eyes showed an unprecedented look: his brother gave him a pheasant, it was so worth it!
Adding up the two bags, the weight of the grain handed over by Tang Wen reached an astonishing 382 kilograms.
Just short of one hundred and fifty-eight pounds.
Xiao Liang pulled Tang Wen aside: "Brother Tang, you'd better hand over some chicken for the rest."
"Okay, easy to talk."
Xiao Liang smiled and explained in a low voice: "We can't hold the chicken, so I can arrange for everyone to eat it tonight."
"Understood, understood!" Tang Wen's doubts disappeared. He was still worried just now. Can he settle the account if he does this? He doesn't need that much food, so don't cause trouble and end up with nothing.
After hearing this, he understood, and he yearned for the guard organization even more.
I went back to the house and took out two pheasants, weighed them, and weighed 11 pounds.
"One pound of meat is worth fifteen pounds of rice. In addition, Brother Tang had paid 30 pounds of rent before, so it's too much!"
Xiao Liang looked at the driver and said, "We can't take advantage of Brother Tang. Let's work hard and drive the driver to help Brother Tang move."
"Okay, it's up to you!" the old driver agreed.
He drove the donkey cart back to the guard station and delivered some chestnuts, then hurried back and helped Tang Wen move things with Xiao Liang.
The donkey cart can be loaded very well and can be pulled in one trip.
When the hut was vacated and the siblings really wanted to leave, Tang Tang was reluctant to leave and looked back many times along the way.
"No. 6, 5th Street, that's right here."
Liang Min, also known as Xiao Liang, took out the key, opened the copper lock, pushed the door open and entered.
Tang Tang looked around curiously.
The yard is not small, and the donkey cart can easily turn when it comes in. It is about the same size as the backyard of the blacksmith shop not far away.
The toilet is in the corner of the yard, and the woodshed is next to the toilet, which is empty.
The house is made of blue bricks, with three rooms in it, with doors and windows.
Inside, there was nothing but dust and cobwebs.
Liang Min handed several keys to Tang Wen and left with the driver.
Before leaving, Tang Wen quietly gave the old driver three red-billed birds.
"Brother Tang, when you need the car, come directly to the guard camp to find me!" The old man who drove the car smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his teeth.
"It's easy to say, walk slowly, Brother Liang, walk slowly."
Tang Wen went to the blacksmith's house to borrow tools to clean his new home. When he arrived at the blacksmith's shop, Li Daniu also became happy: "Brother Tang, you have moved here? It's at No. 6, 5th Street? Okay, okay! This is No. 18, we can't live apart." It’s quite close! Wait, I’ll close the door right now and go help you clean together.”
"That's not possible. My sister-in-law is pregnant. How can she be home alone?"
"Ahem," Li Daniu suddenly blushed: "She is not alone. I bought a maid to serve her."
"Oh!" Tang Wen suddenly realized and looked at him with a smile. It turns out that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have taken a concubine.
It's really enviable.
There are many boys and girls in the camp. It is normal for one strong laborer to have multiple women.
"It's your sister-in-law. I, Lao Li, insisted on buying it. She's a girl from a poor family and is a quick worker."
"Yes, yes, I understand." Tang Wen gave him a look.
Lao Li was anxious: "It's true!"
"Yeah, yeah, really really..."
The two of them came to Tang Wen's new home carrying brooms and dustpans.
The three of them worked together until dark, and finally cleaned up.
Li Daniu didn't stay to eat, so the Tang Wen siblings simply set up a stove in the yard and gave him a good meal.
"There are two pheasants left, two bags of corn, half a bag of potatoes, half a bag of sweet potatoes, and five bundles of firewood..." Like a little squirrel about to spend the winter, Tang Tang carefully counted the remaining supplies at home, determined to put all the food in their bedroom.
Considering that the weather is getting colder, Tang Wen plans to set up a fire pit in the house in a few days.
Although he has never done this job, he lived in his hometown when he was a child and saw others doing it.
He understands the principles and the materials are not difficult to find, so it should be feasible.
The next day, there was heavy fog.
Tang Wen braved the thick fog and came to the carpenter's house.
For the price of a pheasant and thirty kilograms of chestnuts, he took away a set of tables, chairs and benches, a cupboard and two single beds.
After moving the things back, the empty room suddenly felt like life.
Li Daniu brought a large iron pot, as well as some iron kettles, shovels and the like that were commonly used.
As courtesy, Tang Wen gave him the last pheasant.
Although it's a bit cheap, I'll pay it off slowly in the future.
In this world, he has friends.
The two siblings were very excited to switch from a shack to a brick house.
In the evening, Tang Wen practiced swordsmanship, eight steps of Vajra Kung Fu, and flying knives in the yard.
After practicing, I boiled water and took a shower.
Although only plant ash and rice water can cleanse the body, I still feel relaxed after taking a bath.
Before going to bed, Tang Tang suddenly said: "Xiao Wen, this is better than our home."
After a moment of silence, Tang Wen said softly: "It will be better. Go to sleep."
"Well, now that we have a house, it's time to marry my brother a wife."
"Ah?" In the darkness, Tang Wen shook his head repeatedly. In troubled times, becoming stronger is the last word. Women, please wait a moment!
