Liu Caogen took the book of severance, full of tears, kowtowed to his father and mother three times, and then led his children and wife back to his dark cabin, packed his luggage, and then, under the supervision of Mrs. Liu, opened the burden to make sure that he only took his own things and left.

Liu Xiagen saw Liu Caogen leading his children out of the gate of Liu's house, and hurriedly went over to pick them up, led them to his house, and let them live in their own house first, don't worry, let's talk about it later.

He also asked his daughter-in-law and children to help take out the wing house in the west and let Liu Caogen's family live. Originally, it was a place to put farm tools, I tried to check the arrival of the family, until the tools were put in the yard, the house was vacated, and the two benches were set up with a wooden bed, which was used as a temporary residence for Liu Caogen's family, and the two daughters were homeless and their daughters, and the male baby lived with their sons, so that the people were finally arranged, and after cleaning up, they let their daughter-in-law and girl go to catch a chicken and kill it, and let the son, and Rui Xi go to the canal to catch a few fish.

Because Yuxin's cooking is delicious, so Yuxin dictated, how many women are there? Together, they made a sumptuous dinner. In the evening, there is a large pot of braised grass carp, stewed crucian carp, stir-fried chicken nuggets, vegetarian stir-fried cabbage, and vegetarian stir-fried rape. There are a total of five dishes, the meal is very rich, according to Liu Xiagen's words, this is a welcome banquet for Liu Caogen to break away from the old Liu family. It is also a blessing banquet for Liu Caogen's family to have a bright future. The two families were full of red face and very happy.

During the meal, the two families had to discuss, it was impossible for Liu Caogen's family to live in the house for a long time, Liu Xiagen's family, so Liu Caogen still decided to go to the village chief and draw a piece of land to prepare to build a house.

Liu Caogen's family decided that after the village chief's batch of good land, they were going to go to Ma Yulan's house first to see the children's grandparents, aunts and two children. By the way, I also told my father-in-law what happened at home.

Early the next morning, Ma Yulan asked Ruixi to go to Zhang Yi's butcher's house in the village to cut two catties of pork, and then sealed a red envelope of one or two silver, and went to the village chief's house to ask the village chief to approve a homestead base.

The village chief was polite, accepted the gift, took out the notepad and looked at it.

"There are still three relatively large homesteads left in the village, one is close to your father's side, about one acre, and the other is near the foot of the West Mountain, the person is small and the land is large, about four or five acres of land, you can build a house on it, you can also build a vegetable garden, at home, raise some chickens, or something. There is also that news next to the land, it is convenient to do anything, but it is far away from the village and more remote. The one to the south is a little farther from the city, and it's still sandy land. It is not quite suitable to build a house. However, it is not far from the homestead at the foot of the West Mountain, and the two are still connected. The village chief told Liu Caogen about the places in the village that could be used as homesteads.

"The piece of land behind your father's house, you can give one tael of silver, the land at the foot of the mountain in the west is about five or six acres, you have to give ten taels of silver, and the southernmost piece of land, you can give two taels of silver, and the land is a little drought. You can't grow anything, the land in the south is cheap, if you can dig a ditch to force the water in that place, it's still pretty good, after all, the foundation is cheap, and your current situation is more suitable. "The village chief gave a builder yì, and sued Liu Caogen, the price of various foundations.

"Village chief, I'll go home and discuss it first, and when it's done, I'll bring you the money tomorrow, and you can assign the land to you and get the title deed right."

When he returned home in the afternoon, Liu Caogen told his family about the situation of the foundation he asked today.

As soon as Yu Xin heard about this situation, she hurriedly said that she would sell the homestead that connected the south side and the foot of the west mountain. Say it's useful for yourself.

In fact, Yuxin plans to use the sandy land in the south to grow watermelons in the future, and the watermelons grown in the sandy land are particularly sweet and sandy. There are still a few watermelons in my space that have not been opened to eat, and the watermelons can be used to farm the land after eating the melon seeds, and the watermelons will be planted in the future, which is a big income. In the two times she went to the county seat and the town, Yuxin didn't see any watermelons selling seeds, and later asked her father and mother, and she didn't hear of watermelons.

The next day, Liu Caogen took fifteen taels of silver and went to the village chief's house and bought the two plots of land in the west and south. It cost a total of thirteen taels of silver to sell the land, and the remaining two taels of silver, Liu Caogen asked the village chief to exchange the land deed for a red deed. (In this era, the white deed is used as a certificate for private transactions, and the red deed is used as a certificate for the government to keep the bottom line, which has legal effect)

The village chief saw that Liu Caogen was so upright, and immediately said that he would exchange the title deed for a red deed and send it to him the next day. Just let him wait at home and get it.

The next day, the village chief sent the red deed over, and Yuxin's family was very happy after getting the title deed. Liu Caogen called the village chief to come home for dinner in the evening. asked Ma Yulan to go to the village to buy two catties of meat at the butcher's house in Zhang, but asked her son to catch a few fish, and also caught a chicken at Xia Gen's house and killed it.

In the evening, the village chief came to Liu Xiagen's house for dinner and saw a table full of good dishes. I am also very happy, you must know that in the countryside, even if his family is the village head, he can't have meat to eat for many years. Eating meat was a luxury for the countryside at that time. Everyone was very satisfied with dinner, and praised the good taste, and the village chief also said that he would often go to Liu Caogen's house to eat in the future. The village chief felt sorry for Liu Tiehammer's family in his heart, this Liu Tiehammer was a brainless, such a good son, he just let him cut off the relationship, and he drove out of the house after watching it. After Liu Tiehammer, I was afraid that I would regret beating my chest.

Although Liu Caogen has always said that the family's silver was given by his father-in-law, the village chief did not say that he knew that Liu Caogen's family had a ability, and it was better to make friends. It is also because the village chief has a good heart with Liu Caogen's family, which makes him gain a firm foothold in the village head election of Liujiapu for decades, and he has been blessed by Liu Caogen's family.

"Grassroots, you just left the Liu family, nothing, if you need anything, just come to me to find me, I will do my best to help if I can, when to build a house, and say that I will let the people in the village help, but your usual popularity in the village is good, I believe that many people will be willing to go to your house to help." The village chief discussed with everyone at the wine table.

"Village chief, now is the busy period of spring farming, it is estimated that everyone will be very busy during this time, I think that when the farming is over, it will be built, and it will not be bad for these few days. Besides, I'm embarrassed to call everyone busy, and when the farm is busy these days, everyone's time is cheaper. I don't have to be embarrassed to call people anymore. Liu Caogen sincerely expressed his thoughts to his cousin and the village chief.

After all, everyone in the countryside is au pairs, in the past they have helped many people in the village, now the farm has not been fully completed, the village to help the people must be less, now recruit people to help the wages are more expensive, although they now have some silver, but now they can not do heavy work, a few babies and daughters-in-law can not do the work of farming, he does not want to because of farming to hurt the family people, that is not to taste.

In this way, several men ate and chatted at the wine table, and discussed the matter of building a house, but what kind of family they wanted to build had not yet been discussed. We'll have to wait until we build a house.

Even the grassroots asked the village chief to inquire about the village, to see who has old wood, want to buy it to build a house, after all, only old wood can build a house, the new wood just cut down trees, can not be used to build a house, wood does not put a year and a half, dry down the water is useless, even if it is used to build a house, it also leaks. After all, Yuxin's family is out of the house.

After eating, the village chief was sent away, and the family settled Liu Xiagen again, and Yuxin's family cleaned up the table, washed the utensils, and swept the ground before going to settle down.
