The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

In the afternoon, Zhang Huan invited the government officials to come with the government seal and signed the contract on the spot.

After the two parties exchanged the contract, the first house exchange was completed. The people who changed houses in the manor paid the money and took the contract back to happily prepare to move.

Those were all new houses built last year, with brick and stone walls and gray tile roofs. Whether it was raining or snowing, there was no need to worry about any problems with the house.

Rainwater flowed to the ground along the tiles. In winter, even if there was snow on the roof, as soon as the sun came out, the snow melted into water and could flow down the roof immediately instead of being frozen again, with all the weight on it.

Lao Zhou was in charge of the overall situation here. Someone came to the house and came to Lao Zhou.

"Housekeeper Zhou, take a look at this. This is what Langjun gave you. He said that you should post it on the notice board of the manor." The servant in the house handed the recruitment notice written by Li Fu to Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou opened it and read it once, then nodded in response.

"Okay, I got it, I'll do it." Lao Zhou said.

It's just right that there are many people coming here today, so posting it on the notice board will allow more people to see it.

In the house, Li Fu also told Liu Niang that he wanted to train more chefs.

"I will follow my husband's instructions. If my husband wants me to help, then I will help. If my husband asks me to teach people how to cook, then I will teach them how to cook." Liu Niang smiled and responded.

"Then when you are free, go to the canteen of the academy and see if there is anything else that needs to be added. I estimate that we can recruit people in the next two days. When the people arrive, our family members will have to teach them immediately, otherwise, we will miss the start of school in the fall." Li Fu said, "Time is still a bit tight. I don't have time to look after this matter personally. Before school starts, there are still many things in the academy that need me to deal with."

"My dear, just leave it to me." Liu Niang patted her chest and promised, "I can't do other things, but I know everything about the kitchen."

"Okay, then it all depends on you." Li Fu nodded.

At critical moments, someone still needs to help do some things, so that you can relax a little.

After seeing the notice, the people in the village were all tempted to go to the academy to work and earn money.

But the women who stayed at home to take care of the family were worried, as Xiaotao said, that they were afraid that they would not be able to take care of the family affairs when they went to the academy.

For the farmers who moved to a new house, it only took one or two hours to pack everything and move to the new house.

Some were even quick to light a fire and cook in the new house at night.

When the men in the family came back from the construction site at night, they saw the new house, which was tidy and well organized, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

Three generations of Zhang Zhong's family have lived in this farm. Now his parents are still alive, his wife takes care of the household affairs, and he has a son and two daughters. Last year, the couple worked with the owner of the farm for more than a year and saved a lot of money. Last year, they sent their eldest son to the academy to study.

When he came back from the construction site at night, Zhang Zhong didn't know that his family had won the lottery, so he went back to the old house directly. When he got home, he found that the house was empty.

Zhang Zhong's son ran out of the wing room.

"Dad, you are back. We won. Our family won the lottery. A new house." Zhang Zhong's son Zhang Daniu said to his father excitedly.

After moving everything at home, Zhang Daniu's grandfather asked him to wait in the old house until his father came back from the construction site and took him to the new house.

"Really? That's great." Zhang Zhong's face also showed joy: "Oh, I was thinking, I thought, there should be quite a few people who want to change houses in the village, but there are not so many empty new houses there at the moment, how to replace them, I didn't expect to win by drawing lots, our family is so lucky."

Zhang Zhong is not afraid of spending money at all, he works hard to make money, isn't it just to improve the family's life?

And living in the village in the future, there will be more jobs to make money.

Let the family live a good life, is the most important thing.

"Is there anything left at home that hasn't been moved?" Zhang Zhong asked his son.

"Everything has been moved. Those boxes and cabinets were pushed there by my mother and grandfather with a cart." Zhang Daniu said, "Dad, let's go to the new house. Mom has prepared the food and is waiting for you to come home."

"Okay." Zhang Zhong smiled and responded.

Just as he was about to turn around and walk out the door, he stopped.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Zhang Daniu asked.

Zhang Zhong looked back at the old house where he had lived for half his life, and a little reluctance flashed in his eyes.

But he also knew that in the future, thisThe house is no longer my own.

I felt a little reluctant.

But life has to look forward.

People always want to live a good life.

"Nothing, let's go." Zhang Zhong said.

Zhang Zhong took Zhang Daniu out of the yard, closed the door, thought about it, and didn't lock it again.

The things had been moved to the new house a long time ago.

When I arrived at the new house, the sentimental mood in the old house was swept away.

The spacious yard, the brand new house, look at this house, no matter how you look at it, it feels upright.

Brick by brick, solid, and beautiful.

There are tables and chairs in the yard, and incense sticks made of wormwood are lit next to it. The family eats in the yard at night, which is much cooler than in the house.

Zhang Zhong's wife went out to clean up the food and dishes.

After the family sat down, they couldn't help but talk about the new house.

"We live in the west room in the north, and my parents live in the east room. We clean up the east and west wing rooms for the children to live in." Zhang Zhong's wife said, "When winter comes, we can cook in the north room, and the kang in my parents' room will be warm."

In summer, we cook outside.

"The south room is where we put the things we moved from the old house."

Zhang Zhong listened to his wife's words, and the smile on his face never faded.

"Oh, it's worth it, it's really worth it. You said that we have lived in this village for so many years, and we have lived in poverty for so many years. Who would have thought that in just two years, our lives would be able to turn around? It's really worth our hard work and earning money."

"Yes, look at this house, this yard. We used to live in an old house. Although my daughter-in-law cleaned it every day, they were all thatched houses. How clean could they be? This house is different. After a little cleaning, it looks spacious, bright and clean." Zhang Zhong's old father also had a smile on his face.

The happiest ones are the children. In the future, they don't have to squeeze in the same bed with their parents, and they even have their own house.
