Because there is still pork at home, I quietly steamed a pot of pork-filled buns at night. After dinner, I instructed several small ones to close the door at home, quietly carry a basket, load ten meat buns, push the cart, and walk to the village under the slope in the sunset. She was going to the village chief's house, and the purpose of her visit was to buy land.

Every house in the village is filled with smoke. When he came to the village chief's house, he stood quietly outside the gate and shouted, "Is the village chief's grandfather at home?" ”

Grandma Zhao, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, heard the movement and hurriedly walked over, "It's Jing girl, come in, the old man is in the house." ”

"Grandma Zhao, you feed the chickens, I sent the cart back to you."

"Okay, let's get inside!" Grandma Zhao said and took a quiet hand and walked into the house.

The village chief was sitting on the kang, smoking a cigarette pouch and seeing that the silence came, he knocked the cigarette pouch on the kang wall and said, "Your brother and sister have returned from the town. Seeing that Jing Jing carried a basket and put it on the table, he said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Why do you bring me something again?" It's not easy for you to pull your younger siblings, don't always pay attention to these false courtesies, my old man doesn't pick this. ”

Quietly smiled and said: "It's nothing, the steamed buns at home, I eat them quite fragrant, so I will bring them to you and Grandma Zhao to taste, I still have something to trouble the village chief and grandfather." ”

The old village chief raised his head, looked at the quiet and asked, "What's the matter?" You can do whatever I can for you. ”

"That's right, this month I went to the mountains to hunt and saved some money, thinking that I would buy a piece of land to keep for building a house, and then buy some land and grow some food, so that our brothers and sisters could have a place to eat. After all, it is not a matter for our village to always rely on buying food to get by. ”

Listening to the quiet words, the village chief nodded, "That's right." You're a capable and successful person. Where are you going to buy this foundation? What kind of land to buy? Do you want to buy dry land, paddy fields, or sandy land? How much are you going to buy? ”

"I'm going to buy the piece of land we live in now, it's high and spacious. And it's close to the foot of the mountain, so it's easier for me to go up to the mountain to hunt. I can't afford to buy the sandy land next to it, this paddy field or something. "These are quiet before coming, and the sisters and brothers have already discussed it at home. None of them wanted to go back to the village to build a house. There are many people in the village, and she is often not at home, living in the village, for fear that a few small ones will be bullied. And the younger siblings don't want to see the people in the old house.

"The slope is spacious, and the terrain is high enough, but it's too remote. Although it is far away from the village, it is quiet enough, although there are many people in the village, but there are also many rights and wrongs, and you few adults are not in charge, so it is good to stay away from these people. And there are a lot of people in this village, and it's not convenient to do anything. The slope is also clean and comfortable. Because the land on the slope is far from the village, it is cheaper. This sandy land costs one or two silver per acre, and the piece of land you said is more than ten acres, even if it is ten acres! This foundation is also a tael of silver per acre, how big are you going to buy? ”

"I'm thinking of buying something bigger, just five acres of land. In the future, when Jiaming's biological children are large, the place can also be spacious and sufficient. ”

"That's it, I'll go to the county seat tomorrow to drop the deed." The old village chief never thought that this quiet could take out fifteen taels of silver in one go. That's fifteen taels? It's not two-by-two. Besides, how long has this girl been on her own? It's not been a month, right? It's really a great ability.

Jing Jing took out twenty taels of silver from his bosom and the letter of severance and put them on the small square table on the kang. "To do the deed, I have to work on the village chief's grandfather to go to the county seat. The house and the land were in Jiaming's name. The house deed, the title deed, and this severance letter, and asked my grandfather to cross the clear road for me in the official mansion, and all of them became the red deed of the official mansion. It's not clear what to say in the future. I know that this red deed costs one tael of silver, and the remaining two taels of silver, the village chief's grandfather will keep it up and down. "The land and the foundation are fifteen taels of silver, and the three deeds are three taels, and together they are eighteen taels. The remaining two taels of silver are reserved for the village chief to eat and live in the hotel, and he can't be stingy in terms of money and money. As the so-called Lord Yama is easy to deal with, the little ghost is difficult. If the four siblings want to live in this village safely, they must have a good relationship with the head of the village.

When the old village chief saw that he was quiet, he took out twenty taels of silver without blinking, and the words on his lips were also beautiful. I appreciated this girl a little bit in my heart. This girl is capable, transparent, neither humble nor arrogant, and is a rare good child. If you are a man, you must have something to do. It's just a pity that I'm dragged down by my younger siblings. Now there is not even a matchmaker who comes to the door to say goodbye.

After talking about these things, the village chief said goodbye to the enthusiastic Grandma Zhao, and quietly walked out of the village in the twilight to the house on the slope.

Walking on the way home, I was still thinking quietly, I finally saved thirty taels of silver, and now I spent twenty taels at once. I originally planned to build a courtyard wall as soon as possible, but the ten taels of silver were not enough. Looks like I'm going to have to go to the mountains tomorrow. It just so happened that it was time to pick the honeysuckle.

When I returned home, the two little guys were practicing the second sister, and when they saw that they were quietly entering the house, they sat on the kang and embroidered the handkerchief, and raised their heads and asked, "Eldest sister, but it's all done?" ”

"Well, it's all done, the foundation was bought for five acres, and the sandy land next to it is more than eleven acres in total, and the village chief calculated it according to ten acres, and spent a total of twenty taels of silver. The village chief said that the deed would be sent the day after tomorrow. Okay, we're also landed. Second sister, are you happy? ”

"Rejoice! Eldest sister, I never thought that we would have such a good life today. Everything is thanks to the eldest sister. ”

"Silly girl, how can it be thanks to me that she said stupid things? It should be thanks to us. Each of us has contributed to the fact that this family can be where it is today. If we want to make our future life better and better, we should continue to work hard. ”

"Okay, keep up the good work!" The four sisters spoke in unison.

"By the way, second sister, do you remember the piece of honeysuckle I told you about last time?"

"Remember when the eldest sister said that it was about to be picked? What's wrong? Is it possible to pick it now? ”

"Actually, it's okay to wait a few more days, but in a few days the whole land will be spring sown, and the two will collide together, I'm afraid we won't be busy. Besides, the flower is only valuable if it is picked before it blooms, and if it blooms, it is worthless. ”

"Okay, let's have an early meal tomorrow, I'll put on a few more oil cakes, bring some water, and we'll all go pick honeysuckle." An Xin said while embroidering a handkerchief.

Since the last embroidered handkerchief was sold for a lot of money, I am relieved that I have been working hard to embroider a few stitches these days. Vowed to use their own skillful hands to make another contribution to this family.

Quiet doesn't care about her, everyone can have their own favorite things to do, and what they do can help the family, which is a lucky and happy thing. She likes to see Anxin looking radiant and confident now.
