Chapter 11 Buying Fields

Lin He said, "Otherwise, no one in our family will feed this cow anyway, you bring your grandson to my house to help me feed it, when you want to do farm work, you use the cow to help us plow the field, you can carry people when you are in the market, you can take care of the cow when you are fine, I will give you two hundred dollars a month, and the money for you to carry people will belong to you, and the grandson is also young, take it home to play with my little brother, my little brother is only three years old, my family also has a room where I usually put sundries, and my grandson lives in my house, and eats and lives with us, But my family is just an ordinary farmer, so it's good if you don't dislike it."

The old man was grateful, and hurriedly said, "Someone took in my old man and his young grandson, and he also received monthly money every month, and it was too late to be grateful, so how could he say that he was disgusted."

Lin He nodded and said, "Then let's say it." ”

The old man's surname is Qin, and Lin He's family calls him Daddy Qin, and his grandson is called Qin Junze, so he calls him Xiaojun. After more than an hour of sitting in the ox cart, I finally returned home.

Huang and Xiaobao saw an ox cart parked outside at home, thinking that it was a guest at home, so they hurriedly came out to see that it was a few children who had returned. Huang was taken aback when he saw Dabao coming back, happy but also a little worried, seeing that they had brought back so many things from the ox cart, the boss with his mouth open could stuff an egg into it.

When Lin He saw his mother like that, he just said, "Mother, I'll tell you later." ”

Then he introduced Father Qin and Xiaojun to the Huang family. The Huang family asked Dabao to take Sanya and Xiaobao to clean up the utility room, and Father Qin and Xiaojun also helped clean up together, Lin He returned to the house and told the Huang family what had happened, and gave the remaining one hundred and twenty taels of silver ingots to the Huang family, and today I spent dozens of cars in bits and pieces.

Then he told the Huang family about the situation of Qin Laohan's family, but he didn't expect the Huang family to be very enthusiastic, and greeted Qin Laohan and Xiaojun with warmth, and also moved an old quilt from home and said that their grandchildren would get together for one night first, and then find a way tomorrow.

The Huang family plans to make quilts of these cotton first, and it is not too late to buy some cotton in a few days, and it is not too cold now, since the daughter has left the two grandchildren of Father Qin, she has to treat them as family, and the situation of Father Qin's family is really pitiful.

But in this way, Dabao is back, originally Dabao was still young when he was at home, and several brothers and sisters lived in a house, but it was fine, but now Dabao is ten years old, and Erya is also seven years old, and it is not good to live in a house again. In ancient times, there was a saying that seven-year-old men and women did not sit at the same table, although Dabao and Erya were brother and sister, but they could not live together, only let Dabao and Qin's grandfather and grandson temporarily arrange in the same room, and then make plans later.

Lin Erniu came back in the evening, and heard that the puppet made by his daughter was sold for such silver, and he was indeed happy, and he went to the place where the wine was sold in the village to buy a few taels of wine and came back, and he had a few drinks with Father Qin in the evening.

When they were going to bed at night, Huang and Er Niu said, "Don't you think Er Ya seems to have changed a lot recently, and she is smarter than before, and she is not like my original Er Ya?" ”

Erniu felt that the Huang family was thinking too much, "It's not your daughter Erya, after all, it's true that she is older and more sensible." ”

Huang thought about it, how could it not be his daughter, I really thought about it, Erniu hugged Huang, put his hand into Huang's dirty clothes, and began to move, Huang's face was red, and he blew out the oil lamp.

Father Qin and his grandson lived in Lin He's house, Dad often sighed that his family had suffered so many things, and encountered a lot of cold eyes during this time, as the saying goes, "there are more icing on the cake, less charcoal in the snow" There are not many kind-hearted people like Lin He's family after all, not only to give their two grandchildren where they live, but also treat them as a family, even the youngest child in the family, Xiaobao, is very polite Grandpa Qin is long and Grandpa Qin is short, and he has never treated himself as an outsider, and he can meet such a family, It's finally time to put an end to that wandering life.

Lin He saw that his family also had money to spare, and he wanted to renovate his family's house, saying that it was a renovation, but according to Lin He's statement, the original house was simply demolished and rebuilt, Er Niu and Huang were opposed, and felt that Er Ya was too risky, although it was to make some money, but it couldn't be spent like this, in case Lin He's toy puppets were not easy to sell, the family had to live on these silver money.

There are a lot of places where the family wants to use silver money, Lin Erniu wants to buy some fields back, now his own fields are rented to plant others, and it costs a lot of money to pay rent a year, just about to enter the winter, take advantage of this time to buy some fields back, raise them in the winter, and you can plant them yourself next year, no matter what, with your own field, next year the family will not be hungry even if there is no other account, and buying fields in such an era is the best choice.

Lin He thought about it and felt that it was, and he was also in favor of taking some silver money to buy land, but the home really needs to be renovated, at least the fence and gate of the yard and the courtyard need to be renovated, plus Dabao also needs a room of his own, and it is best to add a house in the yard. The current courtyard wall is fenced with corn stalks, which is not safe at all and has no secrecy at all, and everything can be clearly seen outside the yard.

In the past, this family was poor and white, but the days will get better and better in the future, and I can't stand some people with ulterior motives. Lin He knew that the last house to build a house in this era was green bricks, which were similar to the red bricks in the previous life, but now they are cyan, and they are bigger, which is the strongest material for building a house.

Like the Xia landlord's family to build a house with all that kind of green bricks, but the price is also the most expensive, if the renovation of the fence all with green bricks costs about ten taels of silver, not counting the labor and other costs, in the end, it is still not enough money, and finally the whole family decided to maintain the status quo for the time being, if the next time Lin He's toy puppet can be sold at a high price, he will renovate the house, Lin He also agreed. She is confident that her toy puppets will sell for a high price.

The next day, Lin Erniu began to buy land, in ancient times, buying land or something was done through the tooth couple, Lin Erniu found a tooth farmer in the village to help him inquire, whether there is anyone in the vicinity who wants to sell the field, if there is one, notify him. also gave Yayu a reward of 100 yuan, and explained that these are hard work, and whether it is successful or not, he will not go back.

Lin Erniu only said that he asked for someone else, and did not say much. Yayu knows the situation of Lin Erniu's family, and also knows that Erniu's family must not be able to buy land, this Lin family is notoriously poor and white in the village, in the past years, they couldn't eat enough, I want to know which family wants to buy land, and they are so generous as soon as they make a move, Yayu is a person who is extremely clever, seeing that Lin Erniu is unwilling to say more, he doesn't ask anymore, but just promises to try his best to inquire about him, and notify him as soon as there is news.

This ancient field is a valuable thing, an acre of high-quality fertile land can be sold for six taels of silver, and the second point is also four taels, if such a field is bought back and raised for two years to fatten, it can also be cultivated into good land, and there is a kind of sandy land, there is no way to grow a village to marry, usually can plant some sweet potatoes and other grains, all two taels of silver per acre.

Lin He's family plans to buy ten acres of fertile land as their family's ration field, and the farmer feels that his family has property when he has his own land, especially in ancient times, a place that attaches great importance to agriculture, Lin He is also understandable, and he is not opposed to the family buying land.
