Chapter 75 Fleeting Years 7
Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni found the courtyard where Huali lived. Some distance away from the courtyard, they heard the sound of hoarseness inside.
One of the voices was particularly familiar. If it wasn't their second daughter's voice, then whose voice it was.
The two walked a few steps and arrived at the gate.
The door was open, and the two of them did not enter. Standing at the door, they could see the scene inside the yard.
Jia Dongmei stood beside several young men and women, singing along with them, with an extremely serious expression on her face.
This was a serious expression that the couple had never seen before.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and Zhang Chunni's originally reluctant mood changed.
"Who are you? What are you doing at my front door?"
A seven or eight-year-old girl came home with breakfast wrapped in oil paper. When she saw two people standing at the door of her house, she immediately came forward to ask.
Zhang Chuni quickly smiled: "Well, we are Jia Dongmei's parents, come to see her."
"Oh, you are Junior Sister Dongmei's parents, so come in quickly."
The little girl used a mature tone to call an older girl her junior sister, which looked quite funny.
Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni followed the little girl in. The little girl ran into the house. After a while, a woman in her twenties or nineteen years old followed the little girl out.
This woman is Huali.
She is not particularly beautiful, but she is pretty and gives people a comfortable feeling.
Jia Dongmei also saw Jia Erzi and his wife, her face changed drastically, and she hurried over.
"Father, mother, let's go out and talk."
After saying that, she pulled Jia Erzi and Zhang Chuni out. She didn't dare to tell the master that she secretly took money to learn skills without telling her parents, and even ran away from home.
She was afraid that the master would let her go home with her parents.
However, Jia Dongmei was not as strong as Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni, so she could not pull them away.
Jia Erzi ignored his daughter and said politely to Huali: "Master Hua, we just came to see Erya. We are relieved to see that she can be your disciple. We came in a hurry today and didn't buy a gift. We will wait for tomorrow."
I’ll ask the child’s mother to come again.”
Jia Dongmei was surprised: Didn't her parents come to take her home?
Huali declined softly: "It's enough if people come, no gifts are needed."
"How can that be done?" Jia Erzi said, "Apprenticeship requires apprenticeship ceremony. Although we are rough people, we also know etiquette."
Huali had a good impression of the two of them, so she invited them into the room and called Jia Dongmei to talk together.
Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni said some good things about Huali, and told Jia Dongmei to listen to her master, study hard, and be filial to her master, then she said goodbye and left.
They still care about the house.
Jia Dongmei sent the two of them out of the door. She was still a little unable to react and felt like she was in a dream.
"Mom, Dad, do you agree with me adjusting my school hours?"
Jia Erzi snorted: "After all, it is a skill. After you learn it, you can support yourself."
Jia Dongmei was happy: "Not only can I support myself, I can make a lot of money in the future, so I can honor you!"
Jia Erzi: "Okay, your mother and I will wait for your filial piety."
The two of them parted ways with Jia Dongmei and hurried to Yahang.
The people in Yaxing saw the two men in shabby clothes and didn't bother to come forward to say hello.
Only an honest-looking middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "Two of you, how can I help you?"
Jia Erzi rubbed his hands and said excitedly and anxiously: "Well, we want to buy a house."
buy house?
The man's eyes lit up.
If you can successfully sell a house, you can get a lot of commission!
"Excuse me, do you have any requirements for the house?"
the man asked.
He began to think about which houses would be suitable for these two people.
Judging from their shabby clothes, you can tell that they are not rich people. They must have saved money for a long time before they had enough money to buy a house.
I hope they won't be so picky.
"A small courtyard is enough, and four houses is best. If not, three houses are also fine." Jia Erzi said his request.
The man went through it in his mind and said to the two of them: "There are three houses like this, located at xx, xx and xx. The prices are sixty yuan, fifty yuan and forty-eight yuan respectively."
Jia Erzi immediately rejected the first part.
Their total money now is less than sixty dollars.
"Can we go to the second and third places?"
"Of course." The man said cheerfully, "I'll take you there right now."
On the way, the man introduced his name as Li Dachuan. He had been a dentist for seven or eight years.
Jia Erzi revealed that the money he wanted to buy a house was pounds, which surprised Li Dashuan.
Of course, Jia Erzi did not say that his children earned pounds from singing. He only said that he helped a foreigner while working at the dock, and the foreigner gave him five pounds as a thank you.
Li Dashuan said with envy: "Brother is so lucky to be able to get foreign currency. If you use this foreign currency to settle the bill, the owner of the house will definitely give you a lot of discounts."
Jia Erzi: "Ah? Is there still a discount?"
Li Dashuan: "Of course, foreign currency is very valuable. Although the exchange ratio between British pounds and foreign currencies is one to ten, in fact many people can exchange it for one to eleven to twelve."
Jia Erzi: "Is foreign currency so valuable?"
At this time, foreign currency was indeed very valuable.
Therefore, Jia Erzi bought the second house for only four pounds. He also entrusted Li Dashuan to help him exchange the remaining one pound for Dayang.
Li Dashuan exchanged the pound for twelve oceans, and Jia Erzi reluctantly gave Li Dassuan an ocean as a reward.
He wanted to make good friends with Li Dassuan, but he was afraid that he would need Li Dashuan's help with many things in the future.
Li Dachuan is so happy. He made as much as one yuan from this single business today.
Haha, thanks to the other people in the dental shop who look down on others, he got the advantage.
Jia Erzi and Zhang Chuni returned to their original residence happily.
At this time, Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun had already returned home from school.
At the dinner table, the two happily told the children about their new home.
The new home is very close to the schools of Jiamancang and Jiamantun. From now on, the two of them can go home directly for lunch without having to carry dry food.
The whole family was very excited. After dinner, they did not sleep. For the first time, they lit two oil lamps and began to pack up their belongings at home and wait until tomorrow to move to their new home.
Zhang Chunni sighed: "Fortunately, we haven't paid next month's rent yet, otherwise it would have been wasted."
Jia Erzi nodded.
Although he now has more than ten dollars in his pocket, he still cares about the rent.
Save what you can!
However, there are some places that cannot be saved.
Jia Erzi gave Zhang Chuni a piece of gold and said, "You can buy some nice gifts tomorrow and send them to Erya's master."
