Chapter 302: One Acre More Than Expected
"Uncle Zhao, just dig this pit here, and after planting it, remember to sprinkle some of this soil!" In a corner of the slope, Ye Hao said to a middle-aged man.
"Don't worry, girl, I wrote it down!" The middle-aged man smiled kindly and did what she said meticulously.
Ye Hao nodded, turned around and went to inspect elsewhere.
Counting my father and Zhang Zhiyuan and others who came to help for free, there are a total of nineteen people on this slope, well, only eighteen people can do things, except for her.
There were three hundred and fifty-three apricot trees, and they were distributed among each of them, which was the number of nineteen to twenty.
This task is really not difficult for these men who are used to doing farm work, Ye Hao just said the main points, the things that need to be paid attention to, around the time of the afternoon, all the apricot trees were planted.
"Thank you for coming to help, time is in a hurry, and I don't have time to do anything good, I made some buns to bring, come, one person takes two cushions to cushion the stomach."
Xing and his youngest daughter, with a full bamboo basket covered with coarse cloth, came to the slope and said to the men who had just finished their work and had not even had time to wash their hands.
"Oh, what's so embarrassing, let's work, that's also the money." A man wiped his hands and looked at the white fat bun's eyes shining.
This asks someone to do the work, either to give money or to take care of the food, and the two only need to be the same.
I didn't expect that this Ye Er's family not only gave Wuwen the money to plant trees, but also gave it back to Baozi? It's so kind.
Ye Zhengming washed his hands with the water in the barrel beside him, picked up a bun and took a big bite.
While eating, he said to the men around him: "The big guy has worked for a day, and he is hungry and tired, so eat quickly!" ”
There was a person who took the lead in eating the buns, and the rest of the men stepped forward and took two each, but the vast majority of people took the buns but didn't mean to eat them at all.
After collecting it, they said goodbye to Ye Zhengming and the Xing family: "It's not too early at this hour, after the work is done, we will go home." ”
"Go back, go back!"
Xing Shi carried the empty bamboo basket and walked to her husband's side, with a trace of distress on her face: "Your leg is just right, let you rest for a few more days, why are you disobedient?" ”
"This kind of tree is not a trivial task, what if you tire out your legs again?"
Ye Zhengming smiled honestly: "This is our own land, why don't I come to work?" I can still save five cents! ”
Although he objected to writing this land in his daughter's name, he really bought it, and his heart was still very happy.
Even if it's not good, it's still a field!
On the way back for the family, Ye Hao thought for a while and said, "Father, it's okay to say that this apricot tree hasn't bloomed now, but when it really blooms and bears fruit, it's not okay to leave it like that." ”
"The children in the village don't know that it's grown by our family, so how can they pick it casually?"
"I've thought about it, and now there are still a few days before spring ploughing, and I'll cut down more trees these days, make stakes, and fence them up!"
"Even if you can't finish it for a while, it's nothing, after spring ploughing, I will continue to do it, and I will definitely protect them before they bear fruit!" Ye Zhengming said confidently.
These are the things he is best at! He couldn't be happier to be able to contribute to his family.
..............
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed, and it was the end of the second lunar month.
And the tooth man finally found a suitable seller, because something happened at home and he was in a hurry to sell the field.
There were six acres of land in total, one acre more than the amount originally agreed upon by the people.
Ye Zhengming went to see it with the tooth people, and when he came back, he chattered to his wife and children with a heartfelt face: "I have been to see it, it is indeed a high-quality field, and it is very carefully taken care of." ”
"It's decided to sell, that family still has someone to weed in the field, at first glance, they cherish the field, the place is not far from us, and it takes less than half an hour to walk out of the village!"
"That's the amount, one acre more than we originally agreed..... The family only bought apricot trees and eleven acres of sloping land a few days ago, and the remaining silver is enough to buy these acres of land, right? ”
The meaning revealed in the words is that I fell in love with this land and wanted to buy it.
Xing hesitated: "After this spring ploughing, you can build a house, if you buy these six acres of land, I am afraid that the money for building a house will be a little nervous." “
Moreover, you can't spend all the money, and your two sons still need money to study.
"Or... Will the house be built later? Or build one? Ye Zhengming discussed.
In his opinion, building a house is not at all as important as buying land, and the house at the head of the family is either uninhabitable, or the place is smaller, and chickens and pigs cannot be raised.
But these can be overcome, the field is the root of everything!
"No! I'm still waiting for the house to be built, catch a few pigs to raise, and raise some chickens and ducks, the eggs that the family eats every day are all asked others to buy, and it will cost a lot of money in January! ”
Xing refused without even thinking about it.
She has been thinking about her plans for a long time after moving into a new house, and now she tells her that she can't build it for the time being? Don't even think about it!
"But that's really a good field...."Ye Zhengming's face showed a trace of reluctance.
Ye Hao on the other side of the kang interjected with a smile: "Mother, there is still silver at home, have you forgotten?" ”
Xing Shi paused: "You mean those jewelry?" But it was left for you and Xing'er as a dowry, and now you will use it, where will you go to find such a delicate gold hairpin and silver bracelet when you marry in the future? ”
Ye Hao smiled confidently: "Mother, if you don't have any money at home now, let's use it first, and in the future, maybe there will be a better one?" Don't you have faith in your daughter? ”
In fact, to put it bluntly, she doesn't like those golden hairpins at all, gorgeous is gorgeous, but it is too gorgeous, she still likes to be simpler.
"Of course my mother has confidence in you." Xing didn't hesitate at all.
"Since you have found the right land, let's buy it first, isn't it a while before building a house? If the silver is not enough, we will sell two golden hairpins! ”
Ye Hao's words can be regarded as talking about Ye Zhengming's heart, and even the anger of writing his daughter's name on the slope land deed a few days ago has disappeared a lot.
He nodded happily and replied, "Yes, yes." ”
After discussing it properly, Ye Zhengming went to the tooth man on the second day and settled the matter.
Because the other party was in a hurry to ask for silver, the land that could have been sold for 16 taels of silver per acre, this family sold 15 taels of silver, and there was only one requirement, the deed tax had to be paid by the buyer.
In this regard, Ye Zhengming naturally has no opinion.
Six acres of land, a total of ninety taels of silver, plus the silver of the white deed, a total of ninety-three taels.
The next night, Ye Zhengming took the title deed sent by the tooth man, and the whole person was not happy, and he didn't even say anything about Xing's name that appeared on the title deed.
It's his wife, isn't it appropriate to write it together?
