Chapter 147
Liu Jixiang didn't raise his head, continued to hold the cake, and said: "I naturally have my use, by the way, you go to Liu Shuan's place and say that you have something to find him." ”
Liu Ruyi obediently agreed, rushed into the rain curtain with an umbrella, and when he came to the uncle's house, he found that they were eating, and the food was not bad, and there was a roast chicken on the table.
If it was before, Liu Shuo would definitely not give his eldest nephew a good look, but now it is different, Liu Ruyi is their God of Wealth.
"Yo, what kind of wind blew you here for your eldest nephew, have you eaten? Would you like to eat some here? Liu Xuan asked enthusiastically.
Liu Ruyi shook his head, "I'm not hungry, my sister asked you to go to his side, saying that she had something to tell you!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Xuan didn't even care about eating, and followed Liu Ruyi to his house.
"Big niece, what do you have to explain!" Liu Shuan asked flatteringly.
Liu Jixiang said without raising his head, "I'm going to sell the land!" ”
"What?" Liu Xuan almost jumped up and pointed at Liu Jixiang, crying and shouting: "Eldest nephew, you can't be like this, I haven't offended you anywhere, if you sell the land, our whole family will have to drink the northwest wind!" ”
Liu Jixiang finally raised his head, looked at Liu Xuan and said: "I naturally have my intention to sell land, and besides, I am selling our own land, what reason do you have to cry on my side!" ”
Liu Xuan wiped his tears, "Eldest nephew, I'm different from you, you have opened a small workshop now, eating and drinking, but I and your eldest aunt have no ability, we can't do anything, so we live on those dozens of acres of land.
The eldest niece asked, "That's good, why did you suddenly sell the land?" And this brother is going to be an heirloom, even if you want to sell it, your father and father under Jiuquan will not agree! ”
"He'll agree!" Liu Jixiang said bluntly: "Because there will be a flood, don't believe it, you look at the sky outside, you go to the river to take a look, the river has grown to the shore, if it rains for a few more days, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no flood!" ”
"But...... We have a dam......" Liu Xuan said aggrievedly: "Big niece, you can't sell the land because it has been raining for a few days, if this is spread outside, others will laugh at us!" ”
"The dam is in disrepair, it must be unreliable, don't think I'm lying to you, I have a long-term vision, you listen to my advice, go buy more food and come back, so that your family can have a guarantee in the event of a flood!" Liu Jixiang. Looking at the sky outside, "It's unreliable here, in case of a real flood, my brother and I will definitely move out, the house and land can't be carried, so I will definitely sell it to others, after all, if I can sell a little more, I will be able to earn a little more, if you want, I can also sell it to you, I will sell it to you at the lowest price of 12 taels of silver per mu, I can sell it to you at the price of ten taels of silver per mu!"
For the sake of our relatives, I advise you not to buy it, take the money to buy, try to buy as much food as possible, and it is better to buy a big wooden basin back, oh, your family should not need a large wooden basin, but two, after all, your family is very fat! ”
Liu Xuan looked at Liu Jixiang and was also a little anxious, "Is what you said true?" ”
"I don't need to lie to you on this little thing, and I am also prepared, if I sell the land to others, I will try to keep it for two years, you will still plant your land in these two years, and the rent collected is still yours, but after two years, you have to ask others if they are willing to rent it to you, which can be regarded as our last family affection!" Liu Jixiang continued: "I've said everything that should be said, you can leave first if there's nothing to do!" ”
Liu Xuan returned home in despair, it is said that he should not believe this eldest niece, after all, the eldest nephew will not be able to pinch the calculation, it is impossible to say that there will be a flood in the event of a flood, but this eldest niece is too powerful now, opened a small workshop like this, can make so much money every day, what if there is a real flood?
Back home, Liu Xuan told Gao Cuiniang about the incident, "I think she said it very firmly, I'm really afraid that there will be a flood, otherwise...... Let's get ready...... Anyway, you have to buy the grain, and it doesn't matter if you buy more and put it over there, there are also wooden basins...... Don't you have a distant relative? Just let him help make a ......."
Gao Cuiniang saw what the head of the family said, and she was also a little uneasy in her heart, "That...... Then let's go buy some food first, after all, food will not be bad at home, and ...... We can also make wooden basins, after all, wooden basins are also used at home......"
Although it is more hurried to sell the field, Liu Jixiang still sold it, but lost some money, and under the premise of this foundation, the field must be recovered after two years, and the buyer agreed, after all, the field is a good field, but it is impossible to find, even if there are some small requirements, what can it be, two years only, it is not a problem at all.
After dealing with these things, Liu Jixiang looked at the heavy rain and fell into deep thought, in the next few days, the rain became heavier and heavier, and in the second half of the night, there was a boom, and everyone woke up from their sleep, raised their heads to look at the sparkling waves on the ground, and instantly realized that the dam had collapsed, and the ground was full of water.
"Sister......" Liu Ruyi ran over from that room, "My room is full of water ......"
Liu Jixiang also woke up when he heard the movement, he pulled the wooden basin in the corner unhurriedly, and at the same time threw their clothes, bedding, and said: "Don't worry, I have prepared a big wooden basin, and we will drift down the wooden basin later, there should be no problem!" ”
When Liu Ruyi heard this, his heart calmed down a little, and he was not so flustered, and followed his sister to put the clothes and quilts in his room into the wooden basin, and the two sisters and brothers sat in the wooden basin, and then put the tung oil umbrella on the wooden basin and floated down the river.
Along the way, they heard the voices of many people, the screams of animals, the cries of people, the rain and thunder in the sky, rumbling, following the light of lightning, they also saw the surrounding scene clearly, most of the houses were flooded, unknown debris floating on the water, and some animal carcasses, not only that, but there was also a fishy smell in the air.
Liu Jixiang took out the simple mask he made, asked Liu Ruyi to bring it, and took out the prepared water wolf and dry food, after doing all this, the sister and brother fell asleep, and when they woke up again, the sky was already bright, and the sister and brother were still floating.
