After everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, Fan Jin and his mother entered the door.
These two days, Fan Jin had also asked Wei Wenqian to get someone to clean up.
He shoveled away the rotten fallen leaves.
Bird feces.
Then, he wiped it clean.
The entire house and courtyard had been renewed.
Wei Wenqian joked. Looking at the current state of the mansion, he was a little reluctant to make a move.
The mansion faces south.
The door was covered with green bricks, and the windows were carved with stone.
After passing through the gatehouse, the second door, and the front hall, there was a large courtyard with excellent lighting.
There was a door to the inner chamber on the front and a side room on both sides. There were corridors from both sides. Apart from being able to reach the hall and the rooms on rainy days, one could also pass through the corridors to enter the side courtyards on both sides of the courtyard and the courtyard at the back.
There was a flower hall in the middle of the main hall and bedrooms on both sides.
The rooms on both sides were also bedrooms, and there was also an inner study room for personal use.
The outer study was located in the courtyard.
After passing through a small backyard, they arrived at a garden that was about two acres in size.
Wei Wenqian invited the idlers from the nearby villages to pull out the weeds, cut down the shrubs, and take away the garbage.
In autumn, there was also a Chinese rose in full bloom, which was also pleasing to the eye.
From the front yard to the back garden, there were deep wells made of green bricks.
In the garden, there was also a nest of wild cats. The kittens that had just given birth were less than a month old. When they saw Fan Jin and his mother, the female cat roared, but the snowball-like kittens meowed and rolled around in the flowers to play.
This scene really made one feel happy.
"If this cat is kept, it will not be fierce after being fed a few times. If it is kept, it can even catch mice…Mother, don't you think so?”
" He's talking about…my son…" Mrs. Fan said in a trembling voice,""Such a big house, so grand and so beautiful. Can we really buy it?”
Fan Jin had a relaxed smile on his face.
He had always been worried that his mother would not be able to take it and become bewitched.
Yes, it was alright.
Originally, Fan Jin's mother was already in her seventies after passing the imperial examination. She really could not bear the sudden wealth.
Now, although life was poor, he still had hope.
There was also a recent buffer period.
It seemed that although her mother was agitated, she could still hold on.
"If mother is satisfied, I will pay the money and transfer the ownership.”
"Satisfied, satisfied!"
What was there to be unhappy about?
This mansion was a hundred times better than Fan Xi's mansion.
Fan Xi's green brick house made countless people jealous.
"After we settle down, we'll invite Wang Caifeng over for dinner.”
Fan Jin accidentally read his mother's thoughts.
He was also stunned.
Wang Caifeng?
Oh, Eldest Aunt…
It seemed that although Mother was kind to him, she was not to be trifled with.
Thinking about it, it wasn't strange. Eldest Aunt's nose looked at people's behavior and her strange way of speaking. Who knew how much anger she had given her mother over the years.
……
Fan Jin moved the thirty strings of money that he had prepared from the carriage.
He also gave it to the Department of Household Science and Technology.
Then, the people from the Household Investigation Department signed the new house deed and land deed on the spot.
The transaction was completed.
From then on, this big house was called Fan.
"Little friend Fan, don't forget the promise of the literary gathering. It's very important.”
"Alright, after settling down in a few days, I will pay a visit to my husband's residence.”
"Yes, the student union will send an invitation over.”
Wei Wenqian and the Department of Household Science and Education left together.
Fan Jin went to a nearby village and hired 30 idle villagers for a total price of 30 Guan. He asked them to dredge the river and widen it.
Ask someone to move the tree again.
He asked a carpenter to come over and make some furniture and beds.
He found a bricklayer to remove the fence and courtyard wall and replace it with a green brick wall.
All the damaged areas had to be washed again.
As for bedding, he could just buy new ones in town.
With all of this done, plus the money to buy a house, it would cost 80 strings of money for this big mansion to be habitable.
This was equivalent to ten to twenty years of income for ordinary people.
Soon after, someone rushed over after hearing the news.
He wanted to sell servants, maids, and cooks to this newly moved rich family.
Fan Jin rejected all of them.
When they moved over, they would hire two families to help guard the door, sweep the house, and cook.
Fan Jin didn't plan to buy a servant. In this day and age, either the master was harsh on the servant, or the servant was the master.
Either he was ruthless, or he was bullied by a slave.
It was better to hire him.
……
Several days later.
Under the envious gazes of the villagers, Fan Jin and his mother moved.
The items were thin and soft, and they were placed on a hired ox cart.
Fan Jin and his mother still took the carriage of his eldest uncle's family.
Before they left, Eldest Aunt and Mother cried.
She was reluctant to part with him.
Fan Jin didn't want to hear the thoughts of these two female elders even if he was beaten to death.
It was too terrifying.
He went out in the morning and arrived at the new house at noon.
Then, he placed the things he had brought over.
There were very few of them.
It was quickly arranged.
The wall in front of the house had already been built and washed.
There was the smell of all kinds of noodles.
The turbulent bay in front of the gate had been widened, and the rapids had calmed down.
By the river bank was a continuous willow forest. In summer, the green grass was like a carpet, and the willow trees were like a canopy.
It was a good place to fish.
As for his mother, she went into the kitchen to prepare the food.
In the afternoon, they had half a steamed chicken, braised sea cucumber and prawns, cut half a ham, and stir-fried a clear dish made by their mother.
It had to be said that Fan Jin was getting more and more satisfied with the food at home.

I'm begging for some support. The data hasn't changed for the entire afternoon. I'm a little flustered.
