Chapter 26: The Red Deed

Lin Guilu beckoned Lao Sun to go to the house again, walked into the courtyard, closed the door, and also paid Lao Sun 500 Wen for the Chinese fee. I saw www.biquge.info old grandson take the money with a smile and put it in the bag he was carrying. He asked with a smile, "Boss Lin, do you want to go to the county government office to change the red deed?" I'm very familiar with the clerk who is in charge of this red deed, and I will take you over to keep it for a while and you can get the red deed. ”

"What red deed, my deed to buy a house is useless?" Lin Guilu was shocked, why did he have to make any red deeds after all the money was paid. The Qi family and their three children also don't understand what the red deed is. Lin Yujuan read novels in her previous life and saw that she wanted to make a red deed, but why she did it and the specific effect was not very clear.

"Hehe, Boss Lin, of course your deed is also useful. But if you make a red deed in the county office, you will file a case in the county office. In the future, if you accidentally lose this white deed, there are files in the county government to prove that this house is yours. Brother Lin, listen to me, although it costs some silver to set up a red deed, your yard is also a lot of money. You can't lose a big deal because of a small thing. Lao Sun said to Lin Guilu earnestly, of course, he wanted to make a red deed, and he had to make another thousand eight hundred.

"In this case, let's go to the county government to make a red deed. Brother Sun, how much does it cost to set up a red deed? "Lin Guilu has been thinking about it for half his life, and he can't afford to buy a house now, just spend money.

"Well, I'll do the math for you, this Brother Lin. The deed tax on your house will be four taels or two cents according to the lowest amount. Send some filial piety to the book office. It is estimated that it will cost seven or eight taels. This means that I have a cousin-in-law who is a bit related to the bookstore. can help me handle it faster, and the deed tax collected is also the lowest. I will also give him a lot of filial piety every year. Lao Sun carefully calculated the account for Lin Guilu and told him about the door inside.

"What, what about seven or eight taels of silver? If you add a little more to the countryside, you can build two more tiled houses. "The Qi clan was about to explode when they heard it, this is no different from robbing money. Lin Yujuan stepped forward and pulled Qi aside to slowly explain to her why she wanted to make a red deed.

Lin Guilu thought that he still had a few dozen taels of silver at home, so he was at ease if he went to change the red deed. "Cheng, Brother Sun, when will it be convenient for us to go to the county office."

"Tomorrow and tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow, and these two days are office hours. See which day it's convenient for you. Lao Sun said.

"Early tomorrow morning, I'll row here to pick you up." Lin Guilu said.

"Brother Lin, let's take my mule. The boat ride was too slow, and there was nothing heavy for just the two of us. Dozens of miles of waterway are still in a hurry, and people are too tired. "Lao Sun usually runs around to look at the house and the ground, and he has to run thin without a mule's legs.

"Okay, just shout at the bridge early tomorrow morning." Lin Guilu made an appointment with Lao Sun. Lao Sun saw that there was nothing wrong with him, and he also said goodbye and left.

When the family saw that there were no outsiders, they took a closer look at the house. We are talking about when we will move in. There was no furniture in the new house, and some had to be purchased. Qi complained that he had to spend money again, saying that he would just move the old house and use it.

"Mom, what furniture is there in our old house. The bed in your room is still functional, and there are two boxes. Nothing else. Aren't the beds of my sisters and my brother all made of wooden planks? Isn't Dad going to the county seat tomorrow, and I'll pick up my eldest brother by the way. My eldest brother has been learning carpentry for a few years, and our family buys wood by ourselves and calls grandpa to make furniture by ourselves. Lin Yujuan thought that her eldest brother Lin Yukou had learned the craft for almost three years, and it would definitely be no problem to follow her grandfather and have her father to make two sets of furniture.

"Okay, let's go home now, and I'll go discuss it with the old man." After Lin Guilu finished speaking, he locked the door and beckoned his family to go back.

After the family had lunch, Lin Guilu naturally went to the old man to talk about furniture. Qi took a few children to pack up their things. I took a few jars of sauerkraut and kimchi to the ship, and dismantled a wooden bed. After two days, the new house will be furnished, and people will live there. If you want to live in it, you will naturally pack up a set of bedding and move it to the ship. And then it's rice, oil, and salt. If you think about it, there are no pots in the kitchens on the street, so you have to spend money to buy some pots and pans and the like.

After the four of them carried all the needed items onto the boat, Lin Guilu also came back from the old man. The family sent all their things to the house in the town, and after packing up, they rushed back to the countryside without stopping. Lin Guilu is going out tomorrow, so he has to eat dinner early today, and he has to get up early tomorrow morning.

The family used to chat after dinner. I just bought a house today, and there is naturally no shortage of topics. First and foremost is the furniture thing. Qi said that there was no need to beat the bed, because in two years, Yukou would marry a daughter-in-law. When the time comes, it will be said whether it will be a new bed or a future daughter-in-law to marry. Hearing this, Lin Yujuan was going to speak for her sister again, of course, Lin Xiujuan didn't expect that.

"Mom, isn't our family going to pay a dowry for my sister? You want your daughter-in-law to accompany you to a bed, and my sister will at least accompany a bed when she marries into someone else's family, right? My sister is going to get married first. ”

"Ahh I didn't remember to get your sister a dowry. If you don't give Xiujuan a set of furniture, it will be placed in the wing room where the two of you live. In addition, one piece of the family god cabinet should be made and placed in the middle of the hall. There are two more bills on both sides. A square table for eating, four wide benches. One more big tall wardrobe is enough. Qi slapped his thigh before remembering that the eldest daughter also began to talk about others.

"Mom, let's open two more bedside cabinets and put some clothes or something. Drink saliva at night, and there is no place to put the bowl. Lin Yujuan felt that it was too inconvenient before, and the clothes were either placed at the head of the bed or on the stool.

"Wait until your grandfather comes and asks how much wood you want. Let's hope it's not too expensive. "When Qi thought of spending so much money at home, where would he be willing to spend it again.

Lin Xiujuan looked at where her dowry was, and she was embarrassed to say something. Brother Lin is not interested in these, and the family is in charge. But I'm happy to think that I won't have to live in a mud house for another month. But tonight there seems to be no place to sleep, so the wooden bed has been dismantled and taken to the town.

"Mom, where do I sleep at night?" Little Brother Lin muttered.

"Let's sleep with your dad, I'll squeeze the Xiujuan sisters together." After arranging for his son, Qi took a quilt and went to the bed of Lin Xiujuan and the sisters.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, the rooster crowed three times, and Qi got up in black. After tidying up, I went into the kitchen and boiled six eggs and cooked breakfast. Then he called Lin Guilu up. She found another cloth bag, which contained some dried sweet potatoes from last year, some fried peanuts, and boiled eggs. These are all dry food for Lin Guilu along the way. The husband and wife had breakfast, and the Qi family sent Lin Guilu to the town and then rowed back. When the Qi family returned home, the sky was only slightly bright. After the children in the family also got up for breakfast, the four of them continued to row to the town. Fortunately, now the three children can row, and they can all replace Qi. Otherwise, she would have woken up so early and rowed back and forth without stopping.

Lin Yujuan and her sister Xiujuan each had a wooden paddle, chatting and paddling at the same time. Spring is still very cold, but after the two sisters have been paddling for a while, they are sweating slightly. Lin Yujuan wanted to open her padded jacket, but remembered that she had been scolded by Qi Shi for doing so before. It's too unreasonable to say that you have an open shirt for a girl's house. There are obviously several clothes inside.

"Sister, it was interesting when the two of us learned rowing. Hehe. Lin Yujuan remembered the scene when the two of them learned to row again.

"How old were you, and you were still rowing, and when you rowed, the boat went straight in the middle of the water. Didn't go any further. Lin Xiujuan remembered her sister's funny appearance at that time.

"Hehe, I think it's easy for others to row boats. By the time I rowed, I just felt that the boat was not obedient at all. After a long time, the ship will only turn in circles. I'm almost. Lin Yujuan felt funny when she thought about it. It's not that simple to do anything.

The four of them went to the town to set up a stall and clean up the house, not mentioning it for the time being, but said that Lin Guilu rode the old grandson's mule cart and bumped all the way for more than an hour before arriving at the county government of Taixian County. Although Lin Guilu's ancestral home is still on the edge of this county, it is the first time he has visited the county seat since he was born. In the past, I used to take the waterway to send my son to Uncle Shi's house, and the boat rowed to the pier behind Uncle Shi's house to send people back. It's not like walking all the way and watching all the way now. It's so much livelier than the town. Lao Sun was familiar with the road and drove the mule cart outside the gate of the county government. Lin Guilu raised his head and looked at the tall county gate, and knew in his heart that this was the place.

Lao Sun said hello to the official at the gate of the county government and kept the mule cart away from the gate. Then led Lin Guilu into the gate of the county government and walked to the house on the left. Lin Guilu naturally followed behind Lao Sun honestly when he came here, and he didn't dare to look around. In fact, he was also curious in his heart. I followed all the way to the house, and I saw a lot of people busy there. There are those who crack with abacus to settle accounts, and there are those who copy or something there. Anyway, I saw that Lin Guilu was all a big man in his eyes. He only stood aside and looked secretly, and his own grandson went to negotiate with the clerk of the deed. On the way here, Lin Guilu had already given Lao Sun ten taels of silver, and it was his business how to deal with it.

After waiting for a while, Lao Sun came over and asked him to take out the deed of purchase and go to the bookstore to add a red seal. Lin Guilu naturally did the same. It took a while to get things done. Lao Sun rushed over with the red seal stamped with the official seal in his hand and called him back. Lin Guilu put the deed in his arms and put it away closely, and then he was completely relieved.
