Huang looked at Dabao on the side, his eldest son didn't come back for a long time, he was going out again, he could only come back once a month, saying that he was going to the store, and said that the food and accommodation in the store over there would not be bad, and no one would beat and scold him again, but after all, he was not by his side, and he would still be worried.

Huang was still a little reluctant in his heart, and asked Lin He, "He'er, does Dabao have to go out, he's still young, it's good to ask a gentleman to teach at home, these small ones can still be learned, and I can still watch Dabao every day." ”

Lin He knew what the Huang family thought in his heart, mothers are like this, they are reluctant to keep their sons away from them, and Dabao's age is indeed not very old, but Dabao has to go out.

Lin He smiled and said, "Mother, my brother is going to school in the town to do business, do you really want him to farm at home for the rest of his life?" Besides, the town is not far away, you can take an ox cart to see him when you have time, and he can come back once a month. ”

"That's what I said, but after all, it's not his own home, and there is no one to take care of him." Huang knew that Lin He's words were right, but he still wanted to insist.

Here Dabao opened his mouth to speak, "Mother, I have grown up, in the future, I will support this family, let my younger brothers and sisters have no worries about food and clothing, so that you and your father can live a good life, I want to go out, I want to go outside to see." Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself, and if there is something, I will ask someone to bring it back. ”

Lin He Dabao's words were full of confidence, as if success was just around the corner, Lin He had never seen Dabao so confident, and nodded secretly.

It turns out that people will really change with the growth of knowledge, I remember when I first came to this world, Dabao's appearance and current appearance are like two people, and now Dabao has undergone earth-shaking changes both on the surface and in the heart.

In the past few months, Dabao has studied with Mr. during the day, and at night Lin He will ask him to use Arabic numerals to count and read the account books when he has time. As the saying goes, "hard work makes up for mistakes" is completely true.

Dabao through a few months of study. I have learned a lot of things, some commonly used words are known, and the addition and subtraction within a hundred are almost mastered, Lin He said that he will go to the town several times a month in the future, and if he goes, he will bring some exercises to let Dabao do it, and Dabao can usually use the account book in the store to practice.

When Huang heard that Dabao could say such a thing, he was also relieved in his heart. No matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't stop his son's future, so he no longer objected, but just said, "Then you have to take good care of yourself when you go, don't let your mother worry." ”

Dabao nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Several members of the family chatted and did needlework, and soon it was noon. Huang got up and went to make lunch, which was white flour steamed buns, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried meat with potato chips, and a spicy cabbage.

Spicy cabbage was made by Lin He some time ago, when the weather was cold, Lin He saw a lot of cabbage in the cellar of his house, and remembered to make spicy cabbage. The process of making spicy cabbage is not complicated. Plus most of the condiments needed are available at this time, like leeks that are needed. Salt, sugar, chili noodles, etc. are available.

The peppers at this time are dried peppers one by one. Lin He dried the chili peppers and used that small mill to make chili noodles himself.

Seeing that these things were available, Lin He tried to make some of them first, and after making them, the family said that they were delicious, although they were a little spicy, but they were very appetizing. Lin He saw that everyone liked to eat, and then bought a jar to hold it, and his family could eat it whenever they wanted to.

At noon, Huang cooked the meal, but Lin Erniu hadn't come back yet, so he put the rice and vegetables in the pot and warmed them, thinking that Erniu should be back soon at this time, and wait for Erniu to come back and eat together.

After waiting for a while, I saw Erniu come back in a hurry, it turned out that Erniu saw that there was time in the morning, so he went to the government with the patriarch to get the land deed done, because there were only more than three acres left on the riverbank field, and the patriarch saw Erniu and said that he wanted to buy two acres, so he said that it was cheaper, four or two acres, and the rest was counted as three acres, so he bought it together.

Otherwise, the little bit left is not easy to do, Erniu looked at the price of only two taels more, but it was more than one acre of land, so he simply bought it, and the family can use more land in the future.

After the land was bought, in the afternoon Erniu planned to go to the town to invite the masons to come back, and together they would draw out the land for building a house, and see whether they were going to open it or fill it in, building a house was not the same as opening a pond, and Erniu didn't know all about building a house and laying the foundation, so they had to invite the masons to come and know.

Lin He told Erniu his thoughts, although there are so many places, but for the time being, build a small yard, there are a few houses in it is enough, and Lin He doesn't plan to use the top materials to build the house, just use a slightly inferior one, but Lin He feels that the inferior one is already very good at this time.

Lin He thinks that the kind of adobe brick house is still not good, not very strong, so it is better than the adobe bricks, but it is a little worse than the green bricks, the red bricks are also burned in the kiln, but the block is not as big as the green bricks, and the surface is not as smooth as the green bricks, of course, the price is much cheaper than the green bricks, but this kind of bricks are actually very good for building houses.

The roof is covered with tiles, and the ground does not use bluestone slabs, just use mud and sand lime to plaster a layer. Erniu listened to Lin He's idea, he was a little disagreeable at first, he originally planned to build a few simple houses, so that Hongyun and his family could live temporarily, and the cost was not much, and he could not want this house at any time in the future.

However, Lin He's thoughts in her heart are relatively long-term, she feels that when her family has money in the future, she will still buy more fields to plant, in this era, having land is the most practical thing, and it will not drop at any time, and if there is more land at home in the future, she must invite some people like long-term workers to come back and plant. At that time, these workers will definitely need a place to live, and the land bought is relatively large, and it is very suitable to build a house.

But these long-term plans Lin He can't tell Erniu for the time being, and when he heard Erniu's objection, he persuaded him, "Dad, we have invested in this fish pond, and we will do it for a long time in the future, it will be much better to have a house nearby, and when the time comes to fish, we are not afraid that someone will come to steal fish or people with ulterior motives to do other things, then we will build a house there to build a better, it can be used for a longer time, and the people who live in it are more comfortable." ”

After thinking about it again, he continued, "Red bricks are much cheaper than green bricks, we build a small yard, plus the wages of the masons, and the food and stuff add up to just over ten taels, but they can always be used in the future, so the silver is not expensive." ”

Erniu listened to Lin He's words and felt that it made sense, so he agreed to Lin He's proposal. (To be continued.) )
