Buying a mountain forest can still have such benefits, which is indeed something I didn't expect before.

Hu Laohan was a little unhappy and said: "Isn't this disgusting to the poor and loving the rich? Can such a person be good? ”

Mrs. Hu glanced at her wife in disgust and said, "Who doesn't love their daughters like this?" We also have a girl in front of us, if when we are looking for a son-in-law, the son-in-law has nothing at home, the poor jingle rings, no matter how good the young man is, we can't let our big girl marry him? ”

Saying this, Hu Laohan thought about it, and this is also the truth, maybe the parents who love their daughters all over the world are like this.

Mrs. Hu said: "We are not exaggerating. I worked with the girl's aunt and met the girl's mother a few times. That girl is working in our workshop, I can see it every day, after watching it for so a year, what is the character, can I not know? What is our family like, can people still not know? I told the girl's aunt that although our family has now bought thousands of acres of mountain forests, it was bought with a loan, and it will take six years to pay off the debt. ”

"We didn't lie to anyone, what are we afraid of. The point is that this girl has a good character and good looks, but I have been looking at it coldly for a long time. You don't know, because this girl is good, how many people think about it, and now they have a fancy to the boss of our family, which is the luck of our family. I don't know how many people are jealous of us. ”

Hu Laohan said this happily and said, "Then where is this girl's house?" ”

Hu Kun on the side had already blushed.

Mrs. Hu said: "Their family conditions are very good. There are about 20 acres of land outside the city, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. There is an ancestral shop in the family, which specializes in selling tofu. Didn't we suffer a military disaster at Tiebi Pass that year? Many families in the city have fled. Our family came back from hiding in the countryside for a while. Their Song family went all the way south and went to Jiangnan. In the end, not only did he not starve to death in Jiangnan, but also made a fortune, and when he came back, he would not only make tofu, but also make a kind of stinky tofu and fragrant tofu, and the business was very prosperous. ”

Hu Laohan understood and said, "You are talking about the Song family who make tofu, I know this." The boss of the Song family is still in Jiangnan. I heard that there is a big workshop over there. Got rich. took out the money and gave it to his brother Song Xiaoshi, rebuilt the house in Tiebiguan, opened a shop, and bought land outside the city. ”

Mrs. Hu said, "Yes. This girl is Song Xiaoshi's daughter. His name is Song Ye'er. ”

Hu Laohan said: "Since this is the case. The Song family is also a responsible person. Brothers are very friendly, such a family can't be broken, and the daughter raised at home should also know the truth. Let's settle it. ”

Hu Pozi said: "It can't be decided. The Song family wants to see our boss. ”

Hu Laohan said: "This is as it should be, you take the boss to go tomorrow." ”

Hu Pozi responded, Zhang Luo found out the new clothes to Hu Kun to wear for the New Year, packed them up, gave many instructions, and went out with Hu Kun the next day.

Hu Bao and Hu Laohan took advantage of the sunny weather in the past few days, there was no snow, and the ground was not muddy, so they hurriedly went into the mountains to cut wood.

I was busy until the evening, and I pulled a large cart of firewood back, and Hu Leopard saw that the eldest brother was alone there and was stunned, so he hurriedly came over and asked, "Eldest brother, how is it?" Did you see that girl today? ”

Hu Kun paused for a moment and said, "I didn't see it." ”

The old man Hu on the side was strange, and asked his wife who had just walked out of the house: "Why didn't the boss see anyone today?" Could it be that this family affair is yellow? ”

Mrs. Hu came out with a smile and said, "How can it be yellow?" Our family is getting better and better, our family boss is a talent, how can it be yellow? ”

Hu Laohan asked strangely: "Then why did the boss say that he didn't see anyone?" ”

Mrs. Hu glared at Hu Laohan with disgust and said, "The child is not sensible, and you are also confused?" Of course, the woman looks at us, can we see other girls? We went to a teahouse, the girl secretly hid behind the screen, has seen our family boss, her mother and I drank a little tea, said a few words, very satisfied, in the middle of the excuse to go behind the screen to ask the girl, come back and tell me, want me to ask the matchmaker to go to her house. Isn't this done, you say? ”

Hu Laohan thought about it, and couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm really confused, how can other people's daughters show our sons?" In this way, this is done, and we have to prepare. ”

Hu Bao and Hu Kun were stunned, it turned out that this was the case. Hu Kun has never seen the girl, so he beat the drum in his heart, guessing that it may be that the girl's family is not satisfied with him, so he has been thinking about what he did wrong. It turns out that there is still this rule.

Hu Kun couldn't help laughing, it seemed that he was about to marry, it turned out that people had already fallen in love with him, and it wasn't that he did something bad.

Hu Bao frowned and asked, "But the eldest brother hasn't seen the girl yet, what if it's an ugly monster?" ”

As soon as he asked this, Hu Kun became nervous again.

Hu Pozi patted Hu Leopard on the head and said, "You stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about?" Am I not your own mother? Will I find an ugly bastard for my son? That girl and I are in a workshop, I don't know what it looks like? If you don't believe me, go and ask your sister, Miss Ye'er and your sister work together every day, it's very good. ”

As she was talking, Hu Chun'er just finished cooking, came out of the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, Ye'er looks much more beautiful than me, similar to my size, her eyes are big, but her skin is not as white as mine." People are good, and if they marry into our family in the future, it will be a blessing for our family. Big brother, you have to be kind to Ye'er in the future. ”

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "How is it?" ”

In fact, Hu Chun'er is very beautiful, otherwise, Lu Fengcai would not have fallen in love at first sight. Hu Kun was a little unconvinced when he heard that he was more beautiful than his sister, but since his sister said so, even if he didn't have his sister's beauty, it should be about the same.

Thinking of the whole thing, Hu Kun couldn't help but laugh.

Hu Pozi scolded with a smile: "Look at the stupid look." ”

Hu Laohan frowned and said, "So, we have to invite a matchmaker and give a dowry, what can we do?" Where does our family have so much money now? Do you have to clean up the house and build the house? ”

At this point, Hu Pozi was not worried, she said: "I heard that there are now that kind of built houses in the city, just one street in front of us, we pass by every day, and they are close. What kind of construction team built it, and sold it outside, and I heard that I could go to the bank for a loan to buy that house. Let's go to my son-in-law and ask. If it is suitable, I will give the boss a loan to buy that house, and when we have two years of money, we will be able to pay it back. ”

"As for the dowry, anyway, Chun'er's dowry is still there, and it won't be spent for a while, her wedding date will be after next year's autumn harvest, let's do it first, and after the autumn harvest, our crops will be sold and it will be enough to pay it back, and it will not delay Chun'er's marriage."

Saying that, Mrs. Hu looked at Hu Chun'er with her eyes. Hu Chun'er blushed and said, "Mother, you can use it first." I'm not in a hurry. ”

Hu Laohan thought about it and said, "Well, that's it, tomorrow the boss and I will go to ask my son-in-law." ”

Hu Chun'er hurriedly ran to the house shyly.

The next day, Hu Laohan took Hu Kun to Lu Fengcai's bank to ask. Lu Fengcai saw that his future father-in-law and eldest brother were coming, and he was busy entertaining them warmly. After asking about the matter, he thought for a while and said: "The house of the engineering team is very good, practical, and strong, and it can also be used as a housing loan here, in installments." There are several. One is to make a down payment, and then pay a part of the interest and part of the principal every month. It can be divided into ten years, five years, three years. You can also take out a full loan and wait until the end of the year, or two years later, with interest, to pay off all of them. ”

Hu Laohan groaned for a moment and asked the price of those houses.

Lu Fengcai went to get the dossier, looked through it and said, "I know the people over there, and I know that house better." We buy it ourselves, and I suggest buying this one with a yard on the east side, with the street on both sides, so that there is more room for appreciation in the future. This is the price of twenty taels of silver. There is also the third house on this second street, which is also very good, the orientation is good, and the yard is also large, this is eighteen taels of silver. Why don't you go and see it and settle down? ”

Hu Laohan happily asked his son-in-law to take him and Hu Kun to see the two houses, and in the end, he fell in love with the twenty-tael house. There is a large courtyard, facing due south, with five houses and three wings. One serves as a kitchen, and two rooms for miscellaneous items. If you have more children in the future, you will be able to live there.

Hu Kun and Hu Laohan are very satisfied with this house.

I went back to discuss with Mrs. Hu, and finally, I decided on the twenty-tael house, signed the contract, and repaid the bill two years later. Because Hu Laohan's family has good credit, they don't have to make a down payment, but the house deed has to be detained in the bank.

After doing this, he took out one tael of silver from the family's money, and put two taels of silver into the red seal. A tael of silver bought some food, pastries, wine, and the like. Two taels of silver were given to the matchmaker, and the matchmaker invited Song Ye'er's aunt and two sons.

The dowry was two red cocoons of silk that Hu Pozi had obtained in the workshop, as well as twenty taels of silver. Although this kind of dowry is not as good as Hu Chuner's dowry, it is already first-class in the general neighborhood, and the woman's family and the matchmaker are very satisfied.

In order to take care of Hu Chun'er's wedding date, Hu Kun and Song Ye'er's wedding date is set for next summer, and Hu Chun'er will get married one step ahead of him.

All this is over, more than half of the winter has passed, and the New Year is still a month away, but the Hu family is extremely busy, because there are many things to do in the future and many places to use money, so the family is working hard. Hu Kun and Hu Laohan are busy in the mountains all day long, either cutting wood or chopping firewood, this winter, they have cleared more than half of thousands of acres of mountain forests, and it is estimated that they will be able to clean up these miscellaneous trees before spring comes, so as not to delay planting fruit trees in spring.
