The next day, after the return banquet of Hongguo, the groom of Hongguo was entertained, and the wedding event was completely over.

Xiaohu and they don't have a chance to stop here, because there are still many things they need to do, especially Liao Chengzhi's choice of land to build a house is an imminent matter. Liao Chengzhi also knew that it was not reasonable to urge others like this, but he really needed to do his best to determine the place where he would live his life in the future, and even his children and grandchildren would take root here.

Seeing that her father and mother were dressed neatly and ready to go out, Xiao Holly also made a fuss about following her legs: "Dad! Mother! I'll go too! Although Liao Chengzhi is usually very accustomed to this son who was scolded at home with his mother at a young age, he has never been soft-hearted in teaching. immediately scolded with a straight face: "What are you doing with a little little kid?!" Now there is a school to give you the opportunity to study, it is a beautiful thing that fell from the sky, you have to cherish it for me! I'll send you to the school in a moment. ”

Liao Lin interjected on the side and asked Liao Chengzhi: "Father of the child, do you want to talk to Mr. when you go to the school to study?" You can't just say go, can you? ”

"No, you don't! My Shoucheng brother had already greeted me before I arrived, and he didn't even need to be restrained. Liao Chengzhi had some pride in his tone, and faintly boasted that he had a brother surnamed him who was more useful than his own brother.

Liao Lin also praised his husband's wishes: "This brother you have met is really good, although this Wang family is not big, but you can feel that their hearts are very aligned." And they are also sincere and honest to others, and they know that after I have settled here with a man, they are still warm, polite, and respectful to me, and they do not reject the contempt and hostility of outsiders at all. Now my heart is really down-to-earth! ”

Liao Chengzhi listened to the place his own woman chose to come. With such a good compliment, it is beautiful in my heart. hugged Xiao Dongming with a smile, pulled Xiao Dongqing, and said to the child's mother: "It's good if you like it here!" Otherwise, for the sake of your mother, I can't say that I will have to move the nest again in the future. Anyway, I said I wouldn't let your mothers be wronged. You have to do it. If I can't even do this little thing, then what's the point of me working hard to make money outside?! After speaking, he didn't wait for his own woman to reply. He asked, "Have you packed up?" Pack up and go! I'll take Dongming to the school first, you wait at the door, Xiaohu is in the backyard to set up a carriage, and we will leave when Brother Shoucheng comes over. ”

Liao Lin responded: "You go and send Holly to school first!" I closed the door. Just come here. ”

The guest rooms that were later built by Xiaohu's family were connected to the house. But they all open independently. However, they are all in the courtyard, and they can lock or not lock when they go out, and Liao Lin's family doesn't want to be embarrassed as if they don't trust the master's family because they don't have anything of value. I didn't think about locking the door, I just closed the door with my hand.

Third Uncle Wang was already waiting there at the gate, and Liao Lin saluted and greeted him with a little embarrassment.

"I'm so embarrassed. Instead, let Brother Wang wait for our business! ”

Third Uncle Wang hurriedly waved his hand and replied, "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. I only arrived when Brother Liao sent Xiao Dongqing into the school, and I haven't stood firm yet! ”

Liao Chengzhi came out of the school, and Xiaohu also tidied up the carriage and pulled it out. Xiaohu drove, Uncle Wang sat on the side, and let Liao Chengzhi and his wife sit in it with their children.

They came to the barren hill to the east of the town, which had been turned over by grass, and Liao Chengzhi stood on a high place, looking at the left and right A few miles away, there were several villages. It's just that the town is not close, how can it be connected to the town? He felt in his heart that Wang Shoucheng's statement to him was a bit exaggerated! However, in order to be able to get along for a long time without guilt in the future, he still asked the doubts in his heart.

"Brother Shoucheng, you said that you want to build a new town on this wasteland, but this is not close to that town! I'm afraid I can't connect it in a few decades, right? ”

Wang Shoucheng actually didn't know the plan of Xiaohu and his wife very well, so after listening to Liao Chengzhi's questioning, he turned his eyes to Xiaohu on the side.

Xiaohu seemed to have known that Liao Chengzhi would ask such a question, so he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and spread it on the ground. Half-squatting, he raised his head and said to Liao Chengzhi: "Uncle Liao, you squat down and take a look at this drawing, I will tell you that you will look at it at the same time, it will be easier to understand!" ”

Xiaohu pointed to a part with a dotted shadow and said: "This is the current town, although the population is not large, but the land here is not easy to buy, it is too difficult to build here." Xiaohu pointed to the blank space on the south side of the shadow and said, "Look at a large blank space here, it is all wasteland, we have bought it, and it is connected to the foot of the barren mountain here in my house."

We were going to start building our house here at the southern end of the old town, four acres of land next to each yard in the town. Houses are connected by houses, extending in a straight line to the west, building four rows of houses, with the portals facing each other in pairs, and a two-zhang wide street in the middle, and stalls can be set up on both sides of the street to do business. ”

Xiaohu paused, then pointed to a large blank space marking the barren mountain, and scratched from the southern foot. He said, "We are going to build a stone road three zhang wide from here, at least two carriages can run in parallel, and there are pedestrian avenues on both sides, directly across the old town to the official road." On the east side of this road, which is the land under our feet, we are going to divide the land boundary and build a house with twenty acres of land in each yard. As with the previous layout, the straight line runs eastward, with the portals facing each other. It is also necessary to build a two-zhang wide walking road, but no stalls are allowed here, just for the convenience of residents. ”

Liao Chengzhi looked at the drawings and did understand a lot, and it can be imagined that once this place is built, it will be no less than a small county seat. "Just this time?" Liao Chengzhi thought in his heart, and asked unconsciously.

Xiaohu replied with a smile: "It may not be long before we are ready to build it ourselves, and after we build it, we will sell it to the outside world if we can't digest it at home!" I think three years is enough. ”

Liao Chengzhi originally wanted to ask, will anyone buy this? I just felt that it wasn't something I should worry about, so I swallowed this question mark!

He pointed to a place near the shadows and said, "I want to choose a piece of land here, closer to the old town." ”

Xiaohu asked suspiciously: "We have already laid piles on these lands, and the area of a piece of land has been divided." There are only four acres of land here, if you plan to settle here, don't you think it's a little small? ”

Liao Chengzhi nodded affirmatively and said, "I can buy three pieces of land at one time and build a house on one piece of land to live in." If the children are too old to live together, give them a piece of land to build a house and divide it out. It's also convenient. Save them from having to mess with me about whose land is bigger and whose land is small! ”

Third Uncle Wang laughed when he heard Liao Chengzhi's words, "Big brother! You're thinking too far, aren't you? Your eldest son is only six years old! ”

Liao Lin looked at his man with a calm smile on the side, but he was moved to cry in his heart. The child's father said something similar before. said that if the future daughter-in-law is an ignorant person, he will separate them and never let her be angry with the child. When she listened, she only acted as a child's father, just talking casually. Now it seems that he really thought about it seriously.

Xiaohu agreed with Liao Chengzhi's plan. said: "Uncle Liao's calculation is good, as the saying goes: people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries!" You can think so far ahead, and if you are open-minded and forward-thinking, I believe that the family you have established will also grow in harmony! ”

Liao Chengzhi was originally worried that Xiaohu would think that he was a little cold and ruthless towards his children. I was disgusted with him, and I didn't expect him to think that he was doing the right thing.

In this period, the society was very disgusted with the practice of a family splitting at every turn. The elders will take the initiative to divide the family will make people say that they are unkind, and the younger generation will take the initiative to divide the family will make people say that they are unfilial. So. There are many big families in this era, and some of them are barely able to maintain themselves even if they are noisy and noisy, you are tired of me and I am tired of you.

Therefore, it is very rare and bold for someone like Liao Chengzhi to dare to speak out if he has an idea. And Xiaohu has lived in Erya, a later life, and has the influence of people-oriented advanced thinking, and admires and appreciates Liao Chengzhi's enlightened ideas and willingness to implement and act.

They descended the barren mountain and returned to the open space in the south of the town, and Liao Chengzhi chose three connected premises on the side of the road marked by Xiaohu. Xiaohu originally didn't want Liao Chengzhi's money to buy land, but Liao Chengzhi insisted on giving it, so Xiaohu had to give another piece of connected real estate, and said: "Uncle Liao, according to my daughter-in-law's estimation and me, the land here will be very valuable in the future, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to buy it if you want to, so I'll give you a piece of land to keep now, so that if you have another son, you won't be afraid that there will be no land to build a house for him, right?!" ”

Third Uncle Wang also persuaded on the side: "Big brother, my nephew gives it to you, you can take it!" When this is settled, we have another thing to discuss with you! ”

Liao Chengzhi's heart sank immediately, they treated themselves so enthusiastically, it turned out that they had a purpose! But what do they need?

He had an idea in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just asked Xiaohu carefully: "Boss Wang, if you have anything to tell me, just say it, it is something I can do, and I will never refuse." It's just that I really can't want this place!! ”

Although Xiaohu is not very old, he has also been in business for many years, and he has dealt with a lot of shrewd and capable shopkeepers of all sizes. In this aspect of observing words and feelings, and figuring out people's hearts, they often accept the teachings of the shopkeeper Chen. When he saw that Liao Chengzhi's originally relaxed and happy face immediately became cautious, and he spoke cautiously, he knew that he was thinking too much. But instead of being upset, he felt that such caution was exactly what they needed.

In order to dispel the burden in Liao Chengzhi's heart, Xiaohu had to say that he was going to hire him first: "Uncle Liao! Don't worry, we don't have anything to do for you. You also know about my brother's stay in the army this time. Now my third uncle is alone with such a large team of people, and some of them can't take care of it. My third uncle said that you have more experience in running a business than him, so he recommended you to be the vice captain. Now I just want to ask your opinion, are you interested in following my third uncle to manage this caravan? If you wish, we can pay you an annual commission or give you half a share at the end of the year. ”

Liao Chengzhi only thought that people would receive his family so enthusiastically, and he must have to pay something for himself, but he never thought that such a good thing would fall on his head. For a while, I was ashamed of the bad intentions of others just in my heart, and on the other hand, I was excited and excited that I finally didn't have to do the small business that I had to do alone, just to fight for a little money, and even disregard my life, and from then on I could be the second leader in the big caravan that others envied in the eyes.

In the face of such a temptation, how did you refuse? (To be continued)
