When the village chief heard this, he smiled and laughed, the folds on his face were deeper, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Yes!" How can a farmer live without a field? You have to be close to the fields and sleep at night! ”

Xia Mei smiled and nodded.

The village chief took a puff of cigarette, spit out the smoke ring, and thought for a while before saying: "In this village, I have a number of fields in every household. ”

"Therefore, it is not up to me to say that you want to buy a field. In the end, you have to go to the yamen to register. ”

Xia Mei nodded, "Xia Mei knows, and she will have to trouble the village chief when the time comes." ”

The old village chief shook his head slightly: "It's not troublesome, I'll just take a trip when the time comes." It's just that in this village, whether there is suitable land, we still have to think about it. ”

The village chief slowly smoked the old tobacco leaves one by one, and thought carefully with his head down, and Xia Mei didn't bother.

The village chief is old, and it is inevitable that he will think slowly.

Seeing that the tobacco leaves were finished, Xia Mei hurriedly took the cigarette pouch next to her, took out a leaf of cigarettes, and rolled it thinly.

The old village chief found out that the tobacco leaves were finished, and smiled embarrassedly, "Look at me, I'm confused, don't mind the daughter-in-law of the Tang family, this person is old, it's just a good mouthful!" ”

"Village chief, look at what you said, the village chief is not old, it's just this cigarette, it's better for you to smoke less!"

As he spoke, the old village chief casually knocked the ashtray on the author's bench, and Xia Mei put the rolled tobacco leaves on it and re-lit it for the old village chief.

The old village chief took a puff of cigarette with satisfaction and said with a smile: "No way, I can't quit a lifetime of things." ”

"Most of the people in the village are honest farmers, but there are a few young boys who are a bit of a bastard, and there is nothing wrong with it. Therefore, the fields at home are all well planted, and there are no idle fields. ”

Xia Mei heard this. He frowned slightly, "Village Chief, you also know that I just bought some land for Tang Bao. If you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, it will be considered a family property, and you don't want much, so there are no more than ten acres? ”

The village chief sighed and said faintly, "Yes...... There is one. His land is just fifteen acres together, and it is at the end of the village, which happens to be close to yours. Just ......"

Xia Mei asked, "Just how?" ”

The village chief glanced at Xia Mei before sighing: "It's just that the field, but it belongs to the family of Wang Er Mazi." ”

Wang Er Mazi? Xia Mei frowned and thought for a while, before she remembered who it was, isn't this the family that the Luo family married?

Thinking of this, Xia Mei also hesitated, whose fault was it. If it's hers, if it's her family, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome.

Xia Mei thought for a moment and said to the village chief, "The village chief...... If there is really no other suitable one in the village, her family's is fine, but she just has to ask the village chief to call the shots and maneuver around it. ”

The old village chief smiled a little apologetically, "Daughter-in-law of the Tang family, I know you have been wronged. Those mothers-in-law in the village, sometimes they just can't see things clearly, and few people understand, so don't blame them. They didn't mean anything bad. ”

Xia Mei smiled, but did not speak.

Seeing this, the old village chief understood that Xia Mei had a pimple in her heart, and she had no choice but to give up.

"Well, everyone has his own fate. Go with you! ”

"Daughter-in-law of the Tang family, go back, I have written down this matter of you, today is the holiday, don't worry, you go back and wait for my news!"

Xia Mei got up, blessed the old village chief, and said gratefully: "Then it will trouble the village chief." ”

After solving this matter, Xia Mei went back, speaking of which, if it was this time, I bought the land, I was afraid that it would be a little late to plant anything, so I had to wait for the beginning of autumn to plant winter wheat, and wait for the beginning of spring next year.

On the way back, Xia Mei walked while thinking about her current family property.

It's been more than half a year since I arrived here, although there is no big change, but life is much better than before, and the things that should be at home are not bad, except that the house is a little small, there is nothing inconvenient.

The family's expenses have always been supported by the restaurant's own monthly money, and Qin Zhihan Renyi gave himself a very high monthly money, full of ten taels of silver a month.

On weekdays, there were some unused pork bones left in the restaurant, and she was allowed to bring some back for Tang Bao and Yunni to stew bone broth to drink.

The year-end dividend will naturally not be available until the end of the year.

These days, Qin Zhihan doesn't know where to go, and there is no news at all, Xia Mei sometimes thinks about it, worrying about whether he is wrong, but in the end there is nothing to be done.

There is no shopkeeper in the restaurant, so Mr. Ledger handed over the accounts to Xia Mei, Xia Mei carefully calculated, the restaurant has not made much money in the past few months, and was fined three hundred taels because of mushrooms, plus some days because of something to close, so these days, the net profit of the restaurant is only about four hundred taels.

The family still has sixty or seventy taels of money to spare, and it should be enough to buy land.

Xia Mei sighed faintly, this Qin Zhihan really doesn't know what he's doing, whether he wants this restaurant or not, if he continues like this, this restaurant will soon become hers!

Back at home, Yunni was teaching Tang Bao to read, and Wen Xi was doing needlework on the side to guard them.

Seeing Xia Mei come back, Wen Xi put down the needlework basket in his hand and greeted him with a smile, "Master, you're back, just now Tang Bao said that he wants you to teach him to read!" ”

Xia Mei chuckled, "Oh? Tang Bao, isn't Sister Yunni teaching you badly? Are you still picky? ”

Tang Bao raised his head and said with a sneer: "Mother, what Tang Bao means is that Sister Yunni teaches Tang Bao to read and write, and Mother teaches Tang Bao arithmetic, so that Tang Bao will be able to do it!" ”

Yunni smiled gently.

Xia Mei scolded with an angry smile: "Just your kid's ambition!" I want to learn that if I don't learn this well! ”

Tang Bao didn't answer, just smirked, making Xia Mei helpless.

"However, after the New Year, Tang Bao is a four-year-old child, and maybe he can consider going to school."

Yunni also smiled at this moment: "Yes! Brother Tang Bao, I look extremely smart, the hundred family names, the three-character scripture, and the thousand-character text, I have memorized it early, and if I want to come to the school, there should be no problem. ”

Xia Mei stepped forward, sat on the bench brought by Wen Xi, and smiled gratefully at Yun Ni, "Yun Ni, these days, I really thank you for taking care of Tang Bao for me," Seeing Tang Bao sitting and writing upright, Xia Mei said again: "Moreover, you also taught him to read and hyphenation, my sister really doesn't know how to thank you." ”

Yun Ni said: "Sister Xia Mei, if you are so polite to me, Yun Ni will be really unhappy in her heart." ”

"Sister Xia Mei is a life-saving grace to me Yunni, and she took Yun Ni in when Yun Ni has nowhere to go, and right now, Sister Xia Mei is going to marry Brother Wu Song again, and everyone is a family."

"Tang Bao can be said to be my own brother, I have nothing to do anyway, I should teach him to read and write, and I hope that Sister Xia Mei will not blame me for teaching badly."

Xia Mei's eyes flashed with emotion, holding Yunni's hand, Xia Mei said softly: "Sister Xia Mei has long regarded you as her own sister, we are a family, we really shouldn't be so polite, it's Sister Xia Mei who is wrong." ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
