Chapter 230: The Mid-Autumn Festival is full
When Chen Yuanze was helped away, Xiao Ming said again: "Mother Yi, you go to the village to ask when you have time, but there is still land, I want to buy some more to build a house." ”
"Still building a house?" Song Shiqi said, the current house and the seven new arrivals can barely live in it, but they have bought a new house in the city, can they buy land to build a house?
"Well, I want to use it to build a school for them to study." Xiao Ming affirmed that whether Ming Sheng and the others choose to study, practice martial arts or other industries, they all have to invite Mr., and it is impossible to arrange them all to live at home, and it is impossible to place them in a new house in the city, so it is too far away to take care of it, so it is only convenient in the village.
She wants to build the house into a modern school, with a lot of dormitory areas, teaching buildings, sports fields, and living areas, and this place cannot be small, at least dozens of acres of land.
Yi's mother heard this and said: "This is a coincidence, a sister An also said that she would rent her family's land to us." Ann joked at the time that she would not take care of the land, so the land was still empty, and it was better to rent it to them to grow fruit.
This Xia family seems to really can't take care of it, only planted a few vegetable plots for their own consumption, leveled a few acres of land to grow food, and the rest are empty, Yi's mother thinks about the income of the fruit trees at home, it is a pity that it is empty.
Song nodded when he heard this, "There is such a thing." ”
"Really, that's great." Xiao Ming's eyes lit up, the open space of the Xia family was bigger than hers, and it was close to them, so it was just right to rent it to build a school.
"Tomorrow, your Aunt An will come over and ask again." Song said.
On the fifteenth, one morning, the family got up early, first sent Xiao Han and Xiao Yu a few out, brought the food prepared by Yi's mother yesterday, knowing that Mr. Wu likes wine and chrysanthemum tea, Yi's mother specially prepared a double, Mr. Wu taught Xiao Han and Xiao Yu, Xiao Ming's family is grateful, these days, Mr. Wu's food, clothing and travel are all sent by Yi's mother, and there are a lot of rice noodles and clothes for the four seasons.
Before going out, the big black dog Mao Mao jumped on the carriage with a leap of jump, and it actually wanted to follow.
"Good hair, don't bite anyone." Xiao Ming touched Maomao's head and said, she didn't object to it following, Maomao was just dangling around her own one-third of an acre on weekdays, and she had already suffocated it.
"Woo." Mao Mao screamed twice, as if in response to Xiao Ming.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll take a good look at Maomao." Chen Yuanze patted his chest and assured him, touching Mao Mao happily, but unfortunately Mao Mao didn't even leave him a look.
After sending Xiao Han away, Song and Yi's mother prepared a lot of gifts for the villagers, the village chief's family, the third grandmother's family, the Dawang's family, and the Li family, all sent people over, and Xiao Ming personally went to the Xia family in advance.
Before he walked into Xia's house, An greeted him: "Sister Ming is here, come in and sit." ”
An's enthusiastically pulled Xiao Ming into the house, Xiao Ming went out for a month, and when she went to Xiao's house yesterday, Xiao Ming entered the city early in the morning, causing her to see Xiao Ming only now.
"Hey, your kid has been out for a month." An Shi took Xiao Ming's hand and said distressedly.
Xiao Ming smiled helplessly, she felt that she was fat, and her face was full of flesh, why did everyone say that she was weak.
"Aunt An, this is a mooncake made by my godmother, you can taste it." Xiao Ming took out the things in the basket, in addition to a box of moon cakes, there were two jars of wine and a pack of chrysanthemum tea in it.
An Shi looked embarrassed and said: "Your godmother's hand is good, I go to eat every day, and now I eat and take, how can I do this." ”
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ming explained the intention, about the land.
"You and I don't know how to farm, this land is empty and empty, Sister Ming, you can take it and plant fruits." An said, without mentioning the silver, except for repairing the house and planting a few acres of grain for them to be self-sufficient, the rest is still empty.
"I don't need so much, I plan to build some more buildings for the school, fifty acres is enough." Xiao Ming said that renting it all to grow fruits is not taking advantage.
"It's good to be a school, for the benefit of one party, or Sister Ming'er, you have an idea, this is good, you can use all the land, let us also get some blessings." An's generous way, it is a good thing to build a school.
"Then Aunt An, you see how much the rent is appropriate." Xiao Ming asked.
An Shi was not very happy when she heard this, the two of them have always been close, she ran to Xiao Ming when she saw the sky, ate the Xiao family's and took the Xiao family, Xiao Ming also gave her silver, which is more than seen: "You can see the two of us, you can use it as much land as you want, and use it as long as you want, but don't mention the silver." ”
The land is the property of the prince, they can only be regarded as guarding for the prince, the prince has already explained to let them take care of the Xiao family, how can they still accept Xiao Ming's silver, not to mention that Xiao Ming saved her son again, she has no face to collect cash.
"This can't be done, Aunt An, I won't rent if you don't take cash." Xiao Ming said that she didn't take advantage of this cheapness.
"You kid, you really don't want silver, even if you use it, it's empty anyway." Ahn postponed.
"No......" Xiao Ming shook her head.
After a round of arguments, Xiao Ming still insisted on giving, An didn't want it, but he couldn't bear Xiao Ming's insistence, and finally An couldn't help but agree, but she rented all the land to Xiao Ming, and only took the whole number of 200 mu for 200 mu, and the lease period was ten years, and only one tael of silver per mu was charged, and 200 mu of land was only 200 taels for ten years, which was very low, and she refused to accept anything more.
After negotiating, Xiao Ming invited the An family to have dinner at home before returning to Xiao Ming.
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, several familiar families in the city sent a gift to the Xiao family early, the prefect Xu's family, the Lin family, and the three senior brothers of Guangjitang, Kong Lin of Hanhualou, and the Jiang family of the Four Seas Dart Line.
Su Wan'er also handed Xiao Ming a post, inviting Xiao Ming to go to Pingcheng to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival flower viewing party, but Xiao Ming politely refused on the grounds of keeping filial piety for one year.
In the village, Mother Song and Mother Yi came back with a Boxing gift, brought back the Boxing gift in the village, a basket full of eggs and cakes, and the village chief's family also caught an old hen and sent it over.
Song's family, Yi's mother, and Aunt Lin prepared dinner early, and a few small ones either lit the fire or washed the vegetables to help them down, and helped diligently, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles, whether they were flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, they did not escape Song's butcher's butcher knife today, and they have become delicacies on the table.
Xiao Ming turned her orchard in her spare time, and secretly put space water in the well, she was wandering around, either visiting the vegetable garden or going to the medicine garden, the Song family didn't let her do any work, and drove her out of the kitchen, she was the most idle in this family.
