Chapter 18

"Good...... "Ah Shu hasn't communicated with people in the mountains for too long, and his language function has slowly deteriorated a little when he was a wild man, and it has not yet returned to normal.

"I'm fine, you go to sleep. Luo'an is asleep. Luo Zhi said, let him go to Grandpa's place to sleep.

Ah Shu seemed to be a little hesitant, but he quickly closed the door for Luozhi obediently and went back to Old Man Mu's room.

Luo Zhi took a rag bag and carefully wrapped the silver ticket, removed the wooden cabinet, took out a wooden box from the wall, took out the key from his neck and stabbed it into the lock, the wooden box opened, and there were rows of silver neatly stacked inside, and the silver glowed white, like a moonlight treasure box, which contained all her belongings, which was her treasure box.

She poured the silver on the bed, counted it several times, and played with it for a while, her eyes shining, and then she bent down and hid the locked box back in its place. Before she fell asleep, she was still calculating how much money she should earn to be able to live without food and clothing for the rest of her life......

A night of dark and sweet dreams, the refreshed Luozhi began to work in the morning light. The plan of the day lies in the morning, and breakfast must be well eaten and full, not sloppy.

There are few old and young people in the family, and healthy collocation is indispensable, well, it is good to eat pasta for breakfast, delicious and easy to digest.

There was still a little bit of yesterday's big bone broth, just to make the base soup of the noodles, she asked Luo'an to go to the chicken shed to pick up eggs, but he and Ah Shu came in with a chicken feather, one holding an egg in his hand, Luozhi was very happy to see their bear-like appearance, and asked them to hurry up and wash it.

On low heat, add oil, sprinkle with fine salt to prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan, crack open the eggshells, and fry four golden poached eggs on both sides.

Take a gourd scoop of water into the pot, boil the underwater wide noodles, and go to the backyard vegetable garden to pinch a handful of water spinach and scald it in the noodles, so that there are meat, eggs and vegetarian, which is very good.

After the family "purred" breakfast and cleaned up the stove room, Luozhi quickly cleaned the hygiene of each room, and arranged for Luo'an and Ah Shu to go to the hillside to pick a large handful of roses and come back to insert a bottle, and clean the yard with a bamboo broom.

The old man took a break from the chicken and duck shed, the chicken and duck feces are the best farm fertilizer, but if you don't clean up, you will be sad, and others will smell this smell as soon as they enter your yard, and the impression is not good.

The old and the young are all people who work hard, and with little effort, there are a lot of lights at home and outside. The old man washed his hands and face and deliberately changed into a better dress, and dealt with the people of the government for a while, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, although it is not a good fabric, at least it is clean and neat.

Luo Zhi looked at the coarse cloth clothes on Grandpa's body, and reminded himself that he must go to Fu Ruixiang to make everyone's new clothes in the past two days.

Li Yayu and Li Zheng, the official Ya (equivalent to the current real estate appraiser) sent by the government to measure the land went to Luozhi's house before and after, and the three of them met halfway, so they made Li Yayu's carriage together.

Everyone greeted each other, and then they sat down at the table in the hall and began to talk, Luo Zhi brought sugar water to the person, stood and listened for a while, and then understood. It turns out that the name of this official tooth is Li Haiping, and Li Yayu is from the family, and the two of them have a kiss. No wonder Li Yayu keeps saying that he is familiar with the government office, isn't this someone in the court who is easy to do!

"It's a family, so it's easier to do this." Old Man Mu said with a smile.

"The person Li Yayu said was going to buy the land, is you, the old man?" Li Haiping asked Old Man Mu.

Old Man Mu nodded.

"Luozhi, hurry up and arrange breakfast," said Old Man Mu, Li Zheng and his party went out too early, and they went out before breakfast.

"Okay, Grandpa. Everyone took a short rest, and breakfast was soon ready. Luo Zhi replied.

"Uncle Mu, Luozhi, this is too troublesome for you, just get some of it," Li Yayu arched his hand.

"What's the trouble here, I'm going to work a lot hard today, I don't have the strength to work if I don't eat enough," Old Man Mu joked with a smile.

Li Guanya swept his eyes and looked around, the family's house is a little broken, but this hygiene is rare clean and tidy, there are not many people in this village who pay attention to hygiene like this, a fragrance of flowers lingers on the tip of his nose, he turned his head to look for a place, and found that there was a large bouquet of delicate roses on the cabinet against the wall of the hall, no wonder it was so fragrant!

This is a family that has lived a poetic life, which is good.

Luozhi took out all the meat left over from yesterday and cut it into shredded meat to make a base soup, and lay six eggs in to cook poached eggs together. Boiling the water over a big fire, Luozhi was afraid that everyone would not have enough to eat, so he put a full pound of wide noodles into it, and went to pick water spinach and chives, and soon the three big sea bowls of lean meat and eggs and green vegetable noodles were ready.

Li He looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him, green and green, white and delicate, poached eggs were round and slippery, and a little red spice was dotted in the middle, he picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, the noodles were soft and elastic, the broth was rich, and there was a little bit of hot and spicy taste, this taste was simply amazing.

He looked at Guanya and Mu Lizheng, hey, just like him, he was fragrant and beautiful.

"This little girl's noodles are well done, delicious. It's better than the pasta shops. Li Haiping praised that this little girl has amazing cooking skills.

"It's just right, it's good!" The old man sat on the side and smoked a big dry cigarette, and when he heard the official speak, he knocked the cigarette stick on the sole of his shoe.

After breakfast, Luozhi washed the bowl with grass and wood ashes, put on a straw hat to shade the sun, and followed everyone to the backyard river.

The backyard of Luozhi's house is less than ten minutes away from the river, and when I got closer, I heard the sound of the river flowing. This rural area is sparsely populated, said to be a close neighbor, Luozhi's family to the left and right two families also have to walk three to five minutes to arrive, her home is in the south of the village, is close to the village entrance of the avenue is not far, from the official road is also quite close.

She had long taken a fancy to the large river beach next to the backyard, so she usually paid attention to inquiring about anything else. In this piece of land, the industry near the river is collectively owned by Mujia Village, and part of it is an ownerless miscellaneous forest, and there are two pieces of land, which belong to two families in the village.

Several adults stood together to look at the terrain and the quality of the soil, this Li Yayu seemed to be a good farmer or well-informed, he directly took a hoe to the ground, grabbed a handful of soil and crushed it, and knew that this land was fertile and barren.

"This land is not bad, the top looks average, the soil below here is black and brown, quite fat, if you bring river water in for a year, it is no worse than good land." Li Yayu patted the dirt on his hands and said.

"This location is also good, close to the river, don't be afraid of drought, you'd better drain the water over, dig a pond to raise fish and lotus roots." Li Guanya is also optimistic about this place.

Old Man Mu nodded when he heard this, Luo Zhi didn't speak, this Li Guanya praised this land like a flower, and he wouldn't ask for a price! No, she's going to have to pick a prick out...... Before she could pick a thorn, two people staggered over from not far away.

"Oh, Old Man Mu, are you going to ...... Buying land? One of the thieves said in a loud voice when he was far away.

Luo Zhi was shocked, this person's rough voice was like a duck's call, she remembered, this person was Song Jinhua's man, Mu Simao. The other is his friend, who looked at Luozhi a little obscenely, Luozhi didn't know her, she turned to the back of her head to face him, but Ah Shu stood behind her with the basket on her back, and Luozhi's hair was invisible.

Mu Simao and his friend had already approached at this time, and a few steps away, everyone smelled the smell of wine on their bodies, and they came back from somewhere early in the morning.

"Old man, are you going to buy land?" After greeting each other, Mu Simao looked at Li Yayu, and then looked at Guanya and Li Zheng standing next to him, and asked Old Man Mu. He didn't believe that this well-known poor ghost family in Mujia Village could buy land, but Li He was a tooth boy who specialized in real estate trading, and he also knew that Old Man Mu had obviously invited them to come here to see the land.

Buying land is a big deal, and naturally it can't be hidden. However, it would be best if it could be bought and let other people in Mujia Village know. The old man knows very well that Mu Simao is a dumb guy, but he is afraid that this land purchase will give birth to branches.

"We're here to take a look." Li Yayu is a seasoned person, looking at the situation of Old Man Mu and Luo Zhi with cold faces, he laughed beside him.

"yes." When Old Man Mu saw Li Yayu say this, he also picked up the words: "Seeing that the children are growing up day by day, my family's two acres of thin land are not enough to eat, and I can't afford to buy fertile land, so I can only look at this barren mountain and wilderness."

"You still have to buy land." Mu Simao's leaning tower eyelids said.

Luo Zhi listened to it on the side, and his heart was anxious, what does this drunkard mean?

"Mu Simao, what does it have to do with you whether this person buys land or not?" Murry was standing aside and said, I couldn't see the appearance of this crowd, he was drunk and wandered around early in the morning, how could he live a serious life.

"Yo, Li Zheng, their family's purchase of land really has something to do with us, this land is collectively owned by Mujia Village standing at my feet, and I am also surnamed Mu, if this land is to be sold, do you have to agree to it with the surname Mu?" Mu Simao said with a snort of wine and a smug expression.

In ancient times, selling collectively held land, it is logical that every household in the village needs to nod and draw a mortgage before it can be bought and sold, but in private, no one will do this, they are all fathers and villagers who look up and don't look down, and everyone will not be embarrassed. This Mu Simao is married to the Luozhi family, and now he is holding on to this problem.

"Mu Simao, what do you mean by that?" Old Man Mu asked calmly.

"I don't mean anything, I just tell the facts, Old Man Mu is also thinking about you, you don't want to buy land in the future and have disputes, right?" Everyone who said this was angry, and he wanted to stir up the situation and reap the benefits.

Luozhi's eyes purred, she quietly called Luo An and Ah Shu, who were catching ants on the ground, and whispered a few words to Luo An, and Luo An ran away with Ah Shu.

"Mu Simao, what's the matter, are you going to be the master of Mujia Village? Are you not panting in this one? You give me a quick go, why is it your business anywhere? Murry was looking at his eyebrows and eyes rolling around, and he knew that this man was uneasy and kind.

"I'm not doing this for myself, it's for the benefit of all the people in Mujia Village" This person is full of benevolence and morality, and the ghost in his stomach knows what to calculate, and his friend is a little embarrassed to pull him, asking him not to mess things up to the point of being difficult to clean up.

Who knew that Mu Simao saw that everyone's attention was attracted by himself, and he was as proud as a peacock on the screen, and he couldn't listen to the advice at all.

"The money you bought the land is ready, you can't owe the money to buy the land, you have to take out the real money and silver to check it, and you will know", dare to love this person is trying to take the opportunity to extort, Old Man Mu was so angry that his eyebrows stood up.
