Chapter 019 New Home (1)

Chapter 019 New Home (1)

As Cao Peng expected, the conversation between Deng Ji and Mrs. Deng went smoothly.

The abandoned house in Taolin was like a worthless existence to Old Madam Deng and had no meaning. When the Niyang Zhang family gave up this land, it was certainly due to the Taiping Road Rebellion, but more importantly, it was because of this land.

Of little use.

Taolin is a piece of wasteland, and the soil quality is not very good, so it is not suitable for farming.

The old man Deng took over this land and paid a full 20 yuan. Jiyang County believed that this land was close to Deng Village and should be taken over by Deng Village. Even if the old man was unwilling, he had to bite the bullet and pay. But so

Many years have passed, but this piece of land has not brought him any wealth. Therefore, in the heart of old Mrs. Deng, he had long wanted to throw this piece of land away, otherwise he would have to pay a certain amount of taxes every year.

Deng Ji is willing to use the house in the village in exchange, so the old lady will naturally have no problem.

In addition, he was determined to make friends with Deng Ji and did not deliberately make things difficult. After all, Taolin was remote and not as good as the village... Moreover, someone in the village had long wanted to take away Deng Ji's homestead and use it to expand the house.

In terms of value, the old lady still made a little profit.

However, the house in Taolin is indeed a bit dilapidated.

It will cost a lot of money to repair it. Deng Ji is not rich, but he still has some savings. In addition to the gold cake contributed by Cao Peng, it is worth about thirty guan, so it is not too tight. He is just repairing it.

When they were in the house, Cao Peng had a different opinion.

According to Deng Ji's idea, he naturally wanted to make some repairs and buy some new furniture.

But Cao Peng disagreed, thinking that there was no need to spend such money. His opinion was: repair the courtyard wall and make it taller; replace it with two doors and add windows to the house. Basically, that's it. The inside of the courtyard

The house is generally well-preserved. Some leaky and damaged areas can be used again after being repaired. Even the furniture does not need to be rebuilt.

You can buy some old furniture and have it painted over, and that's it...

"Afu, since you have moved into a new home, why don't you decorate it properly? Wouldn't it make people laugh if you make some tattered things?"

Cao Nan also expressed that he did not agree with Cao Peng's opinion, so he raised questions.

Cao Peng said seriously: "Of course it makes sense for me to do this.

First, my parents, uncle Wang, and I are all outsiders. Although we have a relationship like you, we are still outsiders after all. If we spend so much money at once, will it arouse suspicion?

If you don't do it well, it will cause unnecessary trouble... You know, wealth should not be exposed. Brother-in-law, can you guarantee that no one in this village is jealous of us? Brother-in-law, you just got a benefit in the county government, and you beat Ma Ying violently, offending a group of people.

Xiaoxiao. Aren’t you afraid that if you carry out large-scale construction projects, it will attract prying eyes from others and cause trouble?"

After hearing what Cao Peng said, Deng Ji couldn't help but agree.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable and sea water is difficult to measure. Although Dengcun is an ethnic village, who can guarantee that the people in the village will have other ideas?

"Father, mother, what Ah Fu said makes sense."

Cao Nan asked again: "If there is one, then what about the other?"

"certainly!"

Cao Peng took a deep breath and said softly: "Who can guarantee whether this Jiyang will ignite the flames of war? Once war breaks out, if we make the new house too good, we will definitely be in trouble. Besides, what if?

When you are fleeing, you must have some money on hand to prepare for emergencies. Is it possible to sell the property when the crisis comes? Haha, let’s not talk about whether it can be sold. Even if it is sold, how much will it be worth? "

Deng Ji took a deep breath and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

He had personally experienced the Taiping Dao Rebellion during the Zhongping Period. Although he was young at the time and did not have a deep experience, he still left an indelible memory.

"Don't expose your wealth, be prepared for any trouble!"

He said to Cao Nan: "Afu has thought more carefully than me. In my opinion, I will do as he says."

Cao Nan said: "It's so good, why is it involved in war again? There is Liu Jingzhou in Jingxiang, who is a member of the Han clan, who dares to invade?"

Who dares to attack?

At least Cao Cao dared to...

However, it was impossible for Cao Peng to say such words, so he simply said: "Sister, be careful when sailing the ten thousand year ship.

If we are more careful today, we will have less trouble in the future. Anyway, the land title is in our hands. If we want to renovate it in the future, it will not be too late to do so."

"Caution is the boat?

Ah Fu, you always like to say some weird things. However, what you say is not unreasonable... Since everyone agrees, I have no objection. Ah Fu, I remember you didn't like to talk when you were a child, why are you talking now?

Come, but become eloquent."

As he spoke, Cao Nan stretched out his hand and ruthlessly ruffled Cao Peng's hair.

Although Cao Peng was dissatisfied, he could only endure it silently. After all, he had ruined his sister's dream of moving to a new home...

It was cold, so most of the villagers were idle.

Deng Ji asked Mrs. Hong to talk to the village, and the villagers immediately agreed.

They were all members of the same clan, so talking about money would inevitably hurt their feelings. Deng Ji did not need to pay a penny in wages, but he had to prepare two meals as payment.

At this time, prices in Jingzhou were not high.

Two meals for twenty or thirty people does not need to cost much.

With Mrs. Hong's help, even the people who had to buy vegetables and cook were saved. Deng Ji gave Mrs. Hong three ounces of money, and Mrs. Hong readily agreed.

So, starting from the next day, Deng Ji and Cao Ji devoted their energy to the repair of their new house.

Wang Mai was a restless man and went to Taolin with Cao Ji. Only Zhang and Cao Peng were left at home, responsible for taking care of Cao Nan.

Cao Peng refused to allow large-scale construction projects and had his own plans.

He knows very well what will happen in the future. All the good things at the moment are just a mirror, so why should he care too much? Since he is reborn once, and it is still an era he is familiar with. If he does not make a career, wouldn't he be living up to God?

Gift? In Cao Peng's heart, Jiyang is just a temporary resting place. His destination is definitely not here...

Everyone is starting to get busy!

Cao Peng was finally able to calm down and think seriously about the future.

Cao Peng could more or less guess the reason why Sima Hui gave the car. In his heart, why didn't he hope to go to Xiangyang to study? But he knew that he couldn't go.

I know how many bowls of dry rice I can eat.

Yes, he is familiar with this era, but so what?

Not to mention the big difference between the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the real Three Kingdoms. Even if he understands every step of the process of this era, what else does he know? He studied criminal investigation, and most of what he mastered were some miscellaneous things.

Learning. If you want to integrate into this era, it is impossible without some real skills. The saying of ten wins and ten losses is not from his handwriting. Once or twice, he may be able to get through, but ten or twenty times, he can

Can he pass the test every time? In Shuijing Villa, it is impossible to just talk about the general trend of the world. How much does he know about those basic things? Rather than waiting for others to find out that he actually understands nothing, it is better to stay away from him and keep it a bit mysterious.

Cao Peng was very calm, but he is still very weak now.

Therefore, every step you take must be controlled within what you can control...

Instead of thinking about how to get rich and prosperous, it is better to think about how to protect this family and how to let the people in the family live a good life.

After taking some time off, he carefully sorted out what he had learned in his mind.

You need to practice kung fu and be in good health... In addition, you also need to learn the lessons of this era. Otherwise, how will you fool others in the future?

If you think about it this way, there is really a lot to do.

It’s hard to talk about other things now, so let’s just do some exercise.

This sick body and bones are really getting in the way... Cao Peng doesn't want to be like Guo Jia, who dies before his ambitions are fulfilled!

But where to start?

Baiyuan Tongbei Quan emphasizes that when gathered, it forms, and when scattered, it forms wind.

Take the power of an ape, but not the shape of an ape. The requirements for physical fitness are very high. In his current situation, it is difficult to achieve results.

What's wrong is that he failed to practice kung fu and trained himself to death first.

His body is congenitally malnourished. Therefore, his top priority is not to practice, but to nourish himself. But it is not easy to take good care of his body. In addition to his own conditioning and exercise, he also needs to

It requires the help of some external forces.

Just like...diet!

Cao Peng discovered that traveling through the crowd is not an easy task.

After carefully recalling it, from among the various boxing techniques he had learned, he finally chose Tai Chi, which was well-known to almost everyone in later generations.
