Chapter 125: Discussing the Purchase of the Wasteland
A lady shouted that Gu Mingzhu's old face turned red, but she couldn't attack in front of Yunchi and Qiao'er, compared to being cheeky, Gu Mingzhu sighed to herself, but she didn't expect the cold and silent general to be so brazen in private.
Gu Ming didn't dare to answer Chu Jing's tone again, for fear that this guy would say something red-faced and heartbeat-heartbeat, so he buried his head in the bowl and dropped a sentence, "I'm full." And he fled into the room in a panic.
Chu Jing looked at Gu Mingzhu, who had fled in the wilderness, chuckled, and continued to eat elegantly.
After Gu Mingzhu returned to the room, he thought that he would go to Lizheng's house, so he went to the kitchen and carried two catties of meat, a bag of brown sugar, and a few catties of white flour, and walked outside, Chu Jing saw that Gu Mingzhu was going out, so he put down his rice bowl and followed, "I'll go with you!" ”
Gu Mingzhu nodded, it was almost dark, it was really inconvenient for a woman to come out at night, the two walked towards Gu Mingzhu's house, when delivering food, Gu Mingzhu wanted Gu Jinkang to go with him, after all, he was a married woman, and it was more convenient to have Gu Jinkang to accompany him to talk.
Although Chu Jing followed, his cold aura and taciturn made it inconvenient to talk about things with Li Zheng.
Li Yanpin and Gu Jinkang have finished eating and are waiting in the house early! Today, Yun Chi led a few family members, and after a few trips back and forth, he carried back the sack of corn in the field, and the people in the surrounding fields were envious, and they all praised Li Yanpin for finding a good son-in-law.
Seeing Gu Mingzhu and Chu Jing coming, Gu Jinkang knocked on the cigarette pouch, and took the lead and walked towards Zhao Dongming's house in Lizheng, and I don't know whether Zhao Dongming built the house before it was premeditated or built anywhere, Zhao Dongming's family lives in the center of the village, and the location is the most thoughtful in the entire Zhengning Village, and the number of villagers next to each other is about the same. It's a little close to Chu Jing's big tiled house.
Unlike Gu Mingzhu's family, who lives at the end of the village, if he doesn't go out for a walk, he won't know anything about the big and small things in the village. Of course, the location of the Gu family's old house is also very good, just in the front half of the village, there is a grocery store, adults and children go there a lot, it is a lively area.
Walking to the door of Zhao Dongming's house, Chu Jing didn't plan to go in, and stopped under the big tree outside the house, and the whole person was hidden in the shadow of the tree.
Zhao Dongming's house is three main rooms, with two side rooms and a kitchen. In front of the three main houses are two large willow trees on the left and right, and the long willow branches hang down, leaving a large shadow under the trees, which is a good place for shade and shade in summer.
Although the three main houses are mud houses, they are spacious and atmospheric, and it seems that the conditions of Zhao Dongming's house are not bad.
Gu Mingzhu remembered that Zhao Dongming had two sons and a daughter, the eldest was a helper in the town, and the second and second seemed to have studied for a few years, could read and count, and worked as a bookkeeper in a restaurant in the town.
Zhao Dongming is also a diligent farmer, and he and his daughter-in-law take care of the crops in their fields quite well, and they still have surplus grain to sell after leaving rations and paying taxes every year.
Therefore, people are diligent and willing to work, and the days will get better and better, unlike the Gu family's old house, looking at a large family, but there are few people who are willing to contribute.
In the house, Zhao Dongming's family was eating dinner around the table, the eldest son Zhao Li, daughter Zhao Qin, and Zhao Dongming's wife Cheng. I just didn't see my second son Zhao Ling.
As soon as Gu Mingzhu and Gu Jinkang walked in, the whole family put down the bowls, stood up, and looked at the two.
It is also a form of etiquette that shows the importance and respect for the person who comes. It can be seen that Zhao Dongming and Cheng's upbringing is very good. Even the children have been affected.
Just imagine, if you go to the door of someone else's house, and the master sits at the table and only cares about eating and drinking, and ignores you, you will definitely feel angry in your heart, saying that the family is uneducated and has no manners at all.
Zhao Dongming first left the table and greeted him, his dark and tough face was full of smiles, "It's Brother Jinkang who is here!" If you don't eat, if you don't eat, you'll have a meal here, although there are no good dishes, you can still be full. ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at the table, a plate of fried green beans, a plate of tofu, a plate of scrambled eggs, plus two plates of pickles, meat and vegetables, the food was not bad, and it was already a middle and upper standard of living to be able to eat such a meal in Zhengning Village.
Many people in Zhengning Village are still eating grains, so they live on pickles?
When Gu Mingzhu first crossed over, he was so hungry that his stomach rumbled every day, and he had never eaten enough.
"No, we've eaten." Gu Jinkang hurriedly excused himself.
"Then do you have something to do with me?" Zhao Dongming asked.
Gu Mingzhu put the things in his hand on the table, turned his head and said to Zhao Dongming, "Last time we split up, Uncle Dongming helped us a lot, Mingzhu always wanted to come and thank Uncle Dongming." I'm free today, so I'll bring my dad with me today. I didn't expect Uncle Dongming's house to be eating, so I disturbed Uncle Dongming's dinner, so I was embarrassed. “
After Gu Mingzhu finished speaking, he said to the few people who stood up, "Aunt Cheng, you continue to eat, I have something to discuss with Uncle Dongming." ”
Zhao Dongming glanced at the gift on the table, this gift is a bit heavy! I just don't know what Mingzhu has to ask myself for help.
"child, you keep eating, let's go talk next door." Gu Jinkang and Gu Mingzhu followed Zhao Dongming into the next room, Zhao Dongming pointed to two round stools for the two to sit down, and then asked, "I wonder what Brother Jin Kang is looking for me today?" ”
Gu Jinkang rubbed it, and then said with a smile, "Brother Dongming, isn't there a big barren beach by the Liushui River?" I want to buy them. ”
"What? Do you want to buy land? "Zhao Dongming knows that the second room of the Gu family has just been separated from the Gu family's old house, and the matter of dividing the family is still presided over by him, he didn't get any good things, he is so poor that he is so poor, and now the money comes from to buy land, and the area of the barren beach is not small, and it costs a lot of silver.
Looking at Zhao Dongming's puzzled eyes, Gu Mingzhu immediately answered, "Uncle Dongming, it's like this, I am now married into the Chu family, not to mention how much ability I can have, but I still have the money to buy that barren beach." ”
"Oh! I see. Zhao Dongming nodded, the Chu family is a big family, and General Chu is taking the national money, the dignified general, I am afraid that there is a lot of money, and there is still money to buy this land.
And I heard that after Gu Mingzhu got married, he actually invited a doctor from the Ghost Doctor Valley to cure Chu Jing's illness, just because of this, the Chu family would not treat Gu Mingzhu badly, and naturally she would not be harsh in terms of money.
It seems that the money to buy the barren beach was made by Gu Mingzhu.
"Uncle Dongming, how much does our barren land sell for per acre, you can give Mingzhu a bottom!" Gu Mingzhu asked with a smile.
Thinking of the gift that Gu Mingzhu brought in just now, Zhao Dongming said, "That barren beach has been empty, as long as the barren grass grows, no one wants to plant, if it is sold, it will be calculated at a compromise price of good land in the village, the good land in the village is forty-five yuan per mu, and the barren beach is twenty-three yuan per mu, if you really want to buy it, let's find a few people to measure it tomorrow, but one of the pieces of land is your grandmother's, I'm afraid it's not very easy to talk." ”
Thinking of Mrs. Gu's nonsense, Zhao Dongming had a headache, and the second room and the Gu family's old mansion were now so stiff.
Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "My grandmother's land will not be taken care of for the time being, I will discuss it with them." ”
Zhao Dongming looked at Gu Mingzhu, he had also heard the people in the village talk about it, since this Gu Mingzhu was hit on the grinding plate and picked up a life, his temperament was no longer as cowardly and incompetent as before, and he had become decisive and strong.
