Xu Hao and Liu Zhixuan walked all the way and stopped for a whole day, until the sun set when they really arrived at Aoki Village, Aoki Village was bigger than expected, and it was better, Xu Hao and Liu Zhixuan stepped in hand in hand.

There is a big locust tree at the entrance of the village, it is the time to eat at this time, there are a few villagers chatting while eating dinner under the big locust tree, for a while the fun of the farmhouse is undoubtedly revealed, those village names are eating and eating and seeing a man and a woman holding hands into Aoki Village, this is a living person, and it is just in time for this big night, the villagers have stopped the chopsticks in their hands and looked at Xu Hao, one of the old men quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice and said: "Who are you? Did you come to Aoki Village to find relatives or something else?"

Another village name smiled and said, "Young man, don't be afraid, this is our village chief, he just asks." ”

"Oh, it's the village chief, the two of us are from Linyin Town, my name is Xu Hao, this is my wife Liu Zhixuan, my family originally opened a blacksmith shop in the town, but because of poor management, and the government came to find fault and make trouble for three days, so we had to move, we thought about it or felt that Aoki Village was suitable for us to move to, and we also decided to reopen our blacksmith shop here from the old business, so after a long journey, my daughter-in-law and I came to this Aoki Village. Xu Hao pulled Liu Zhixuan and those people and said with a smile, his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, which made people feel that he was an honest man at a glance.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be a blacksmith? Now it's good, we have everything in the village, but there is no blacksmith, every time my family strikes iron, either to the town or to the village next door, this road is tired, the point is that the things that are beaten back are not durable, but the distance is so far, there is no way to find someone to reason. A young village name said with some excitement.

But as soon as his words fell, the old village chief looked back and glared, and the old man stroked his beard and said to Xu Hao: "So you want to settle down in our Aoki Village?"

"Exactly, we will stay here for a long time. Xu Hao said.

"Then how can you solve the problem of your residence? To tell you the truth, the vacant land in our village has been divided, and there is really no suitable place for you to build another house. The old village chief said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Xu Hao's eyes rolled until he was thinking about something, but he didn't break it but followed him and said: "Oh, the kid doesn't plan to build a new house to live in, don't hide it from everyone, this time we came with some savings saved over the years, so I plan to buy an empty house in everyone's hands nearby, and I don't have any requirements, as long as it's big enough, spacious enough, and can shelter from the wind and rain." “

Sure enough, the village chief's eyes lit up when he heard what Xu Hao said, and he coughed twice and said: "Oh, I'm really confused, after your reminder, I really think of such a place, I really have such an empty courtyard under my hand, which definitely meets your requirements, but it is the property of the village, and the old man can't decide to give it to you without authorization." In his words, he deliberately made the word "send" a little heavier.

Xu Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, village chief, public is public, private is private, you are the village chief, of course you have to distinguish between public and private, as long as the house is good, I will definitely not pay less money in the village, after all, everyone will be a family in the future." “

"Oh, that's very good, the old man will take you two to see the house now, don't worry, it's definitely worth the money. The old man put the bowl in his hand on the table under the locust tree, and he took Xu Hao and the two of them in front of him while talking about some customs and customs of Aoki Village, and the rest of the village names also hurried home to tell their relatives that there was a blacksmith in the village, and the speed of spreading news in the village was quite fast, and after a while, someone followed Xu Hao and them together, and it looked lively.

It didn't take long for the village chief to take Xu Hao and Liu Zhixuan to the courtyard he said, to be honest, this courtyard looks good, anyway, it is much bigger than Xu Hao's house, but this yard is too broken, I saw that the windows were broken by the naughty children in the village, and a section of the wall collapsed, and all kinds of weeds in the yard also looked pleasant, it seems that this yard has really been uninhabited for a long time.

But this yard also has benefits, that is, it is very spacious, there are stables in the yard, sheep and pig houses, but it is very desolate if it has not been taken care of for too long, walking into the main house, Xu Hao and Liu Zhixuan nodded secretly, this main house is still okay, the kitchen, bedroom and living room are all available, although it is not as grand as Liu Zhixuan's house, but it is still completely enough for the level of a well-off family, to be honest, Xu Hao is very satisfied, but he is pretending to be disappointed on the surface, Liu Zhixuan on the side is actually very satisfied, but she saw that Xu Hao did not say anything, so she was also well-behaved and did not say a wordXu Hao gently picked up a piece of window fragments, shook his head and asked the village chief, "Village chief, are there any other houses in the village?"

In fact, don't look at the village chief's cunning greed for money, but he has never been out of Aoki Village in his life, he can't see that Xu Hao is pretending at all, looking at Xu Hao's appearance, the village chief guessed that Xu Hao must be dissatisfied with this house, he smiled wryly and said: " This yard was originally a house of a large family in the village, but later the family made a fortune and moved away, so this house became the property of the village, because it was a little long, and it fell into disrepair so it became like this, but this house used to be really good, you look at it again, if you really don't like it, I am introducing someone else's house to you, but it is not the property of the village, so the price will naturally be a little higher. “

Xu Hao could probably guess what he was thinking when he looked at his expression, and he whispered to the village chief: " Village Chief, we are all our own people in the future, this house is bought by whoever buys, and if I buy the village, it will be regarded as my contribution to our village, although this house is in tatters, but I also admit it, it's a big deal to spend more time and money to repair, you just say the price, to be honest, I knew at first sight that the village chief was a good person, and the two of us will ask the village chief and the villagers to take care of it in the future. Xu Hao made a circle around and said.

Seeing Xu Hao so polite, the people of Aoki Village suddenly had a good impression of him, the people in the village are simple, as long as you treat them well, they will treat you better, at this time, the people in those villages looked at Xu Hao so politely and spoke for him: "Village chief, how many years have this big family moved away, this house is broken like this, you might as well sell it to this little descendant cheaply, everyone will be from the same village in the future, and you won't see anyone looking up all day long." “

"Yes, village chief, Uncle Liu is right, you can sell it cheaper, with this Xu family minister, it will be much more convenient for our village to strike iron in the future. Another villager opened his mouth and said.

The village chief looked at the courtyard and heard the people in the village say this, so he was also relieved: "This way, the prince of the Xu family, we will be a family in the future, and this house will be sold to you for a thousand yuan." “

A thousand wen is equivalent to one tael of silver, and Xu Hao plus Liu Zhixuan and Wang Sichun gave him almost three taels of silver, originally he thought that he had to spend at least two taels of silver to buy, but he didn't expect that now he can buy it for one or two silver, and the rest of the money can also add some new furniture to their home, and he can also buy some of the tools he uses to strike iron, which is great, so when he heard the village chief say this, Xu Hao also knew that the village chief didn't pit him, and if such a big yard was simply cleaned up, it would definitely be sold for more than three taels of silver, and now the village chief only accepted one or two for himself, which is also very conscientious。

"Okay, just a thousand Wen, village chief, then give me the deed, and then write me a note, our brothers will settle the account, pay the money with one hand and call the deed with the other, and save more entanglements in the future." Xu Hao said with a smile.

"Okay, the prime minister of the Xu family has thought it through, just do as you say, I will send someone to my house to get the house deed, and then write you a note. The village chief sent a child from the village to his house to get the deed and pen and ink.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Hao can also take a good look at this place, although this place is in tatters now, but it is also the home of the two of them, he turned his head to look at Li Enjing, and sure enough, her eyes were also full of joy.
