Gu Anning, who was on the way to the village chief, exhaled deeply and put away all kinds of thoughts in her heart.

In the kind of dealing with just now, it's really not my strength that I always like to be alone, and I'm more or less uncomfortable.

As she walked, she collected her thoughts, and then turned her attention to the winding river beside her.

The river is one of the two largest in the village, and is about as deep as an adult's thigh and more than three meters wide.

On the edge of the river, the villagers paved a smooth stone path with stone slabs about four meters in length, so that people could wash vegetables and clothes on it.

In the memory of the original owner, the former owner often came here with the family's clothes to wash. And searching her memory, in the memory of the original owner, she found a very important treasure.

When she arrived here, Gu Anning's eyes suddenly brightened more and more when she looked at the river.

But for now, let's get down to business first, and come back here later.

After thinking about it, she couldn't wait to get up, and the steps under her feet were even bigger.

In more than half an hour, Gu Anning appeared in front of the village chief's house.

Seeing that the courtyard door was open, Gu Anning stepped forward and stretched out her hand and gently knocked on the open courtyard door, and said in a crisp voice: "Is the village chief here?"

The people inside heard the sound of someone knocking on the door and the sound of inquiry, so they hurriedly walked out, and when they saw the person, the face of the person who came out showed a slightly surprised look.

Gu Anning adjusted the posture of the little bun she was holding in her arms, so that the little bun that fell asleep could sleep more comfortably.

"An Ning, why are you here?"

When Gu Anning heard this, she raised her eyes to look at the person who was talking to her, and when she saw the person who spoke, a polite smile appeared on her face, and she nodded at her and said, "Aunt Liu, you took the liberty to come and disturb."

Hearing her so polite, the woman known as Aunt Liu suddenly became a little embarrassed, and then rubbed her palms a little nervously, and said with a iodine face: "Don't bother, don't bother, An Ning, go inside."

The embarrassed and shy woman in front of her was none other than the daughter-in-law of the village chief's uncle.

In the memory of the original owner, this Aunt Liu is very kind and honest, and after marrying the village chief, she gave birth to a male and a female baby for him, which can just form a good word, and the family is very happy.

By now, the two children have grown up, and they are almost in the age of marriage. It is said that the village chief's family has already made a marriage contract for the two, and it is believed that it will not be long before they get married.

Unconsciously, Gu Anning, who was thinking about things, followed Aunt Liu into the hall inside.

"An Ning, you sit here for a while, and I'll call Ade."

Aunt Liu said after pouring tea for her, and then hurriedly left the hall.

Gu Anning, who was pulled back to her senses, heard this, looking at her back as she left in a hurry, and a shallow smile appeared on her face.

……………………

Not long after, Aunt Liu, who went out, and Gu De, the village head, walked in together from outside.

Just now he heard his daughter-in-law say that An Ning's girl came to look for him, so he put down the hoe in his hand and came back.

He had been working in the field for a short time, and when he came back he walked faster again, and he was sweating and steaming, and his mouth was very thirsty.

When he entered the hall, he saw Gu Anning, who was sitting on a chair holding the child in his hand, and said with a smile: "Girl Anning, you wait for your uncle for a while." After finishing speaking, the village chief hurriedly drank a large bowl of tea without waiting for her to respond, and then brought a cloth to wipe the sweat off his forehead and face.

Only then did he sit down when he had simply cleaned himself up.

"Girl Anning, I heard Guixiang say that you came to me for something?"

Gu Anning looked at him and nodded with a smile, and responded, "Yes, village chief." I came to you this time, first, I want to thank you for my mother's affairs. The second is to buy the piece of land where I live now. ”

"You girl is too polite, you don't need to thank you or anything, everyone is from the same village. But...", the village chief's smiling face became serious.

"But girl, if you want to buy that piece of land, it will cost you a lot of silver. Anyway, there is no one living in that house now, so you can live in peace of mind and don't have to buy it. ”

"I can live there safely, but I still want to have a real home of my own. Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, I earned some silver yesterday, so it is estimated that it will be enough to buy that piece of land now. After finishing speaking, Gu Anning gave him a brief and rough explanation of yesterday's events.

After listening to her narration, the village chief nodded with some relief, and was relieved that her money came from.

"Girl, since this is the case, then I will also let Jing Cheng take the title deed of that place to the official to stamp a seal when he goes to the town academy, and then put the title deed in your name."

The Jing Cheng he mentioned just now is his son, and now he is still studying at the academy in the town.

He is very hard-working, and now he has passed the Tongsheng exam, and in the exam three years later, it is estimated that he will be able to be admitted to a show.

These make him very proud as a father.

Looking at the proud look on the village chief's face, Gu Anning, who was thoughtful, guessed what he was thinking at a glance, but he didn't bother.

After he came back to his senses, Gu Anning asked with a light smile: "Uncle Village Chief, I don't know how many taels of silver that piece of land is?"

When the village chief heard this, he thought about it, and then said, "Just give one or two pieces of silver."

This price is already very low, because an acre of fine land here can cost four taels of silver, a medium one also costs three taels of silver, and the lowest one costs two taels of silver.

The place where they lived now was about an acre in size, but many of them were unusable.

If it is calculated according to the price of the inferior land, it is also two taels of silver. Two taels of silver, that's already a lot, and he himself can try to help her reduce the silver to a minimum, because he also wants to help the girl in front of him who is going to live with her younger brother at such a young age.

Hearing that it was one or two pieces of silver, Gu Anning glanced at the village chief, and the thoughts in her heart were constantly changing.

After she heard the low price of one tael of silver just now, she already knew that the village chief in front of her was helping her, and she was very grateful to him.

"Uncle Village Chief, thank you! This is a tael of silver and five hundred wen. One tael of silver is needed for the title deed, and these five hundred wen are the money used by the village chief when you bought the coffin and the paper for my mother. Uncle Village Chief, you have put it away. ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Anning took out a tael of silver and five hundred coins from his arms and put them on the table in front of the village chief.

The village chief was not polite to her, and reached out to pick up the money on the table and put it away.

He knew that the little girl in front of him was a little stubborn, so he didn't continue to worry about the silver with her
