Chen Xuejiao and the others jumped into the carriage and went to Wang Shanwo.

Wang Shanwo is close to the mountain, and the field is at the foot of the mountain. Because they are all mountain roads, it is very difficult to walk, Chen Xuejiao sat in the carriage and felt a bump.

When the curtain is lifted, you will see a rolling mountain, the foot of which is a withered yellow, but from the halfway point to the top of the mountain, it is gradually planted with pine trees, and the layers of green add a touch of brilliance to the gray winter.

After walking for about an hour, I arrived at the land.

After getting out of the carriage, Fei Laoliu stood on a raised stone and pointed it out to Old Man Li and the others.

"That's the field." Fei Lao Liu jumped off the stone as he spoke, and walked towards the field with Old Man Li, Chen Xuejiao and others.

The environment of this field is relatively good, Chen Xuejiao looked around and found that there was a dry river along the field, and when spring came, when the snow melted, the snow water from the mountain would flow down the river to the field to irrigate the crops.

Old Man Li and Li Yuntian carefully looked at the soil in the field, put it under their noses and smelled it, and then crushed a few clods of soil and looked at it.

"This land is not as fertile as the old dog's land, and there is more sand." Old Man Li took a handful of soil and said.

Chen Xuejiao didn't understand the land, so she leaned over to take a look, and saw that Old Man Li was holding a large handful of soil in his hand, the soil was loose, and there was no sand.

Suddenly, Chen Xuejiao remembered that this sandy soil does not refer to the sand content, but to the alkalinity of the soil.

"The land around here is like this, and it is usually cotton, sweet potatoes, and watermelons." Fei Lao Liu nodded, and then pointed to a fruit forest in the distance and said, "There are also fruits that are grown, and the yield is good, like that piece of land is the fruit forest of Zhao Ping's family, and you can earn a lot of silver every year." ”

Chen Xuejiao thinks this place is not bad. In this era, the price of cotton was high, and it was possible to grow fruit trees, but the income would take many years later.

She was a little undecided.

"Dad, I think it's okay to grow cotton here, but it's a little far away from Maoshan Village, so I will loosen the soil, catch insects, and harvest cotton for cotton in the future. It's not very convenient to be so far away, so it's better to take a look at the third place. "Lee came up with his own Jianyì.

"Then I'm bothering Uncle Fei Liu." Chen Xuejiao smiled apologetically at Fei Lao Liu.

"What does my niece say, it's not troublesome, it's not troublesome." Fei Laoliu said with a smile.

The third place is on the west bank of the Xiaohuai River, relatively close to Maoshan Village, in the middle of Zhaojiazhuang and Maoshan Village.

When we reached the field, the sky began to fall with fine snowflakes, and it seemed that a heavy snow was coming.

Fei Lao Liu took Mr. Li and others to that land, and Mr. Li stood on the ground and looked at the terrain, and his heart was full of satisfaction. This place is not far from Maoshan Village, and you can even see the houses of Maoshan Village when you stand here. The road is also flat, and it is convenient to plant crops and harvest crops.

Chen Xuejiao looked around and found that a small stream of the Xiaohuai River was on the ground, which was full of water, and it was very convenient to irrigate during droughts. It seems that the owner of this land is very diligent, knowing that he wants to sell, still planted wheat, and the growth of wheat is gratifying. No wonder the asking price is slightly higher.

"Uncle Li, you have seen the world. It would be nice if you could buy a piece of land. Fei Lao Liu said to Old Man Li.

Old Man Li agreed with Fei Laoliu's words in his heart, held a handful of soil on the ground, looked at it carefully, and nodded slightly.

Twenty-five acres of land, each of which costs four taels of silver. That is, one hundred taels, but the silver that Chen Xuejiao plans to buy the land is eighty taels, if only she could bargain.

Fei Laoliu seemed to see Chen Xuejiao's thoughts and reminded her: "This family sold land because the male laborer was sick. Waiting for life-saving money, I'm afraid it's not easy to bargain. ”

Chen Xuejiao also made a mistake at this time, if ordinary people bargain, it is nothing, but it is too cruel to bargain with a family waiting for help.

"Buying and selling land is a kind of fate, since you are satisfied with this land, I will take you to the master's house." Fei Laoliu said.

Old Man Li looked at the small river on the ground and said, "One hundred taels of silver is worth buying this land, and Xue Jiao has eighty taels of silver, which is not enough for me to add twenty taels, the sixth one, you take us to the master's house first." ”

Fei Lao Liu agreed with a smile.

The owner of this land is in Zhaojiazhuang.

Chen Xuejiao suddenly thought of something, she was only thinking about buying land just now, and she didn't pay attention to other places.

The owner of this land used to be in the rice and grain business in Xuzhou Mansion, but he sold the land because the male laborer was sick...... The owner of this land is in Zhaojiazhuang......

Why is it so similar to Zhao Yiming's family.

Chen Xuejiao asked Fei Lao Liu: "Uncle Fei Liu, what is the name of the owner of this land?" ”

"It's called Zhao Shun."

Chen Xuejiao was not sure if Zhao Shun was Zhao Yiming's father.

"And how many people are in their family?"

"There are three people, but the kid in this family is about the same age as you, and he is also capable, and he is in charge of selling land inside and out." Fei Laoliu said.

At this time, the Li family also felt that something was wrong, and they made a look with Chen Xuejiao, and they began to believe that the person who sold the land was Zhao Yiming's family.

I didn't have time to think about it, but the host's house had arrived.

Chen Xuejiao and Li got out of the carriage and walked in with Fei Laoliu, Old Man Li, and Li Yuntian.

"Is Zhao Shun's family here?" Fei Lao Liu shouted into the house.

"At home." A cheerful voice came out, "Oh, the sixth is here, but we got rid of it." ”

This voice is not Zhao Yiming's mother, and whose voice is Xu's voice.

Chen Xuejiao and Li were stunned together, Xu had already come out, and they were also stunned when they saw Li's mother and son.

"It's that their family wants to buy land, this is," Fei Lao Liu introduced.

"Oh, sister-in-law Xiucai, why are you, Xue Jiao and Qi Ping hurry up and sit in the house." Xu quickly regained his calm face and greeted.

Fei Laoliu, Li Yuntian, and Old Man Li looked at each other, and they bought land to buy an acquaintance's house.

Xu's Zhang Luo made tea, in and out. Chen Xuejiao took the opportunity to look at Zhao Yiming's home, the yard was cleaned up, and the house was also cleaned up, with the smell of Chinese medicine.

Xu poured tea for everyone one by one, and sat down to talk.

“…… Xiucai sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed, I'm happy that you bought my land, and I'm not at ease when that land is in someone else's hands. Xu said generously.

"But we bought the land, what did you plant?" Li asked embarrassedly.

"If you don't buy it, someone else will buy it. There are also five acres of paddy fields in the village, which is enough for us to live. Xu said.

As he was talking, Zhao Yiming came in. It turned out that Xu asked the second stunned man next door to go to the private school and called his son over, that is, to sell the land.

Zhao Yiming was not much surprised to see Chen Xuejiao, his wife and others.

Chen Xuejiao called Zhao Yiming to the courtyard, and the two of them spoke through the thin snowflakes, after all, they were the two sides who sold land and bought land.

Zhao Yiming's figure looked very thin in the snowflakes. is lovable, and the corners of his mouth stubbornly rise.

The two men talked for a while, entered the house, and decided that the deal was settled.

"Since the master bought the land, the land is eighty taels of silver." Zhao Yiming knew that Xue Jiao sold for a hundred taels of silver, but he still lowered the price.

"That's not good, you still have crops in your field." Chen Xuejiao said, "It's according to the original price." ”

"No, just eighty taels."

"No, I can't. One hundred taels. Fei Laoliu's eyes were straight, this was the first time he had encountered a business in which the seller had cut the price and the buyer had raised the price for so many years.

Zhao Yiming and Chen Xuejiao argued.

"I think that's it, one hundred taels of silver, Xue Jiao will give Yiming eighty taels of silver first, and the remaining twenty taels of silver will be returned later." Old Man Li made a final decision, "I am an elder, you have to listen to me." ”

Old Man Li spoke. No one dared to question it.

So, it was settled. Chen Xuejiao paid Zhao Yiming eighty taels of silver first, and the remaining twenty taels of silver will be paid later.

So Zhao Yiming took everyone to his own land to measure the land, and after the results of measuring the land were not wrong, he had to write a document to buy and sell the land.

In the past, Chen Xiucai wrote the documents for buying and selling land, but it was the Chen family who bought the land, so he had to find another person. So Zhao Yiming asked Huang Xiucai to be a witness to write the deed.

Generally, after the end of such a sale, the buyer has to buy a table of banquets to entertain the tooth and the middle. Chen Xuejiao thought that it was too late to go home to cook now, and she didn't want Shangfang and others to know before she got the title deed, so she decided to invite Huang Xiucai to Qingfeng Village in the town.

In this way, the title deed is written. Directly in Qingfeng Village to set up a banquet to entertain everyone.

Old Man Li listened to Chen Xuejiao's advice and nodded again and again, saying that Chen Xuejiao was thoughtful.

Zhao Yiming went to the private school to invite Huang Xiucai, and Chen Xuejiao and others went to Qingfengzhuang.

In the carriage, Li asked Chen Xuejiao: "Let's buy land and let your grandfather follow each other, isn't it good not to invite your grandfather?" ”

In the countryside, buying land and building a house is a very important thing, which requires the participation of elders, and it is nothing to involve Old Man Chen. But Chen Xuejiao didn't dare to guarantee that everyone in the room would be as happy as Old Man Chen was to buy land for them, and maybe they would insert a lever halfway, which would be bad.

This is the land they bought with money after they split up, it doesn't matter if they give it a house or not, Chen Xuejiao wants to wait for the matter to be established to tell Old Man Chen.

"Mother, when we sign the title deed, it's not too late to tell the master. Huang Xiucai wrote the paperwork, let's take the master to Qingfeng Village. Chen Xuejiao said to Li.

Li Shi is not stupid, and quickly thought of the deeper meaning of these words, which was Xue Jiao's thoughtfulness.

Chen Xuejiao and the others arrived at Qingfeng Village on the front foot, and in less than a cup of tea, Zhao Yiming also came with Huang Xiucai and Chen Qi'an.

The matter of selling land, on the way here, Zhao Yiming had already made it clear to Huang Xiucai, without further ado, Chen Qi'an grinded, and Huang Xiucai wrote the paperwork.

Halfway through the writing, Huang Xiucai asked the buyer whose name to write.

"Just write Chen Xuejiao." Old Man Li spoke.

Huang Xiucai didn't care and wrote Chen Xuejiao's name.

The Li family, Qi An, and Qi Ping did not object, and Old Man Li breathed a sigh of relief. Writing the names of Li and Chen Xiucai, Old Man Li was not at ease, afraid that this land would be calculated by the big house, and he could only rest assured by writing the name of his granddaughter Chen Xuejiao. I heard the eldest son say how good Chen Xuejiao was at buying duck eggs in Weishan Lake, he didn't think anything, Tong Guò bought the land this time and found that Chen Xuejiao was indeed a capable person, so he made the decision to put the land under Chen Xuejiao's name.

After the writing was completed, Chen Xuejiao had already entrusted Li Yuntian to exchange the silver, and gave eighty taels of it to Zhao Yiming, and Zhao Yiming took it generously. The seller Zhao Yiming, the buyer Chen Xuejiao, together with the witnesses Huang Xiucai and the shopkeeper Han, all signed the documents and signed the paintings.

Chen Xuejiao looked at her name on the paperwork and smiled happily, now she is also a small landlord.

This document is only a white deed, and it also needs to be exchanged for a huàn red deed.

The so-called white deed is not certified by the government, and the red deed is certified and stamped by the government, and taxes need to be added. Chen Xuejiao thought that it would be more secure to change it to a red deed, so she entrusted Fei Laoliu to go to the government to redeem it.

"Thank you for your hard work, I will make the decision to buy a banquet in Qingfeng Village to treat you." Old Man Li said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Han, trouble Lao Miao to take charge of the kitchen himself." ”

"Master Li, that's nature." Shopkeeper Han smiled and went out to order. (To be continued......)
