When there was still almost half a month before the beginning of winter, the main players of the Ming family who were doing farm work were finally idle, and Mrs. Ming finally saved enough of the three hundred and ten taels of silver that the old man Ming expected.

The old couple didn't sleep all night, and early the next morning, the old man Ming took his eldest son Mingdi and his second son Mingcheng to find He Shigui, the only tooth man in Taiping Town.

Back then, the Ming family sold land to find He Shigui, and it was he who helped the Ming family catch up with the Wu family, the leading wealthy family in Taiping Town.

The head of the Wu family, Mr. Wu, is the only one in Taiping Town, and the Wu family has been building bridges and paving roads for many years to benefit the township.

When he bought the fields of the Ming family and several other families in urgent need of money, Master Wu once said in advance, saying that everyone was welcome to come to him at any time to redeem the fields.

Of course, the price of the redemption will be based on the price of the land at the time of redemption, not the price of the land at the time of purchase.

It's not that no one stands and talks without backache, criticizing Master Wu for having a good reputation, but Old Man Ming has always been grateful to Master Wu.

In his words, "No one's money is blown by the wind, and you can't think that just because they are rich, they deserve to let you take advantage of it." ”

"Brother, this is a fortune." Knowing that Old Man Ming wanted to redeem the land, He Shigui complimented Old Man Ming and immediately found someone to deliver a message to the Wu family.

The Wu family is still in charge of the Wu family, and after listening to the housekeeper tell the ins and outs of the matter, the old man Wu immediately asked his eldest son Wu Dehui to bring the title deed of the Ming family's twenty acres of land to He Shigui's family.

It is not the first time that Wu Dehui has been supported by his father to do a similar errand, when he came to the He family, he first greeted the old man Ming and others with a familiar car, and then very happily sold all the twenty acres of land of the Ming family back to the old man Ming at a price of two hundred and ninety taels.

Old Man Ming was excited and burst into tears, and thanked Wu Dehui and He Shigui again and again.

While comforting his father, Mingcheng offered to gather Fude at the best restaurant in the town to thank Wu Dehui and He Shigui.

Wu Dehui smiled and declined, he said a few polite words to the father and son of the Ming family and He Shigui, and then took the little servant back to his house.

If he doesn't go, how can He Shigui be embarrassed to follow the Ming family father and son alone to eat a good meal?

So in the end, no one could eat this banquet.

The father and son of the Ming family were reluctant to go, and gave He Shigui ten taels of silver, He Shigui smiled, and immediately took the father and son of the Ming family to the county seat to exchange the red deed.

Because of the silver to open the way, this red deed was done very smoothly.

The old man Ming was like a piece of hot charcoal with the deed paper, and he couldn't wait to fly back to his house with his wings, so that Mingcheng couldn't complete his daughter's entrustment.

Before they went out to buy land, Mingyue asked her father to help her find old medical books and novel seeds.

Ming Cheng has always kept it in mind, but Old Man Ming is not willing to stay in the county for a minute, he just can't spare time to walk around.

He Shigui obviously understands the excitement of the old man Ming finally buying back the ancestral property, he helped the Ming family father and son rent a carriage over, and after getting in the car, he did not forget to comfort Ming Cheng, who failed to complete his daughter's entrustment, "Isn't it just an old medical book with medicinal materials and novel crops that were not available before, Uncle He is looking for someone to help you pay attention." ”

Mingcheng was overjoyed, "Then if you have news, ask someone to bring me a message." ”

He Shigui is doing this kind of business, and he responded very sharply at the moment, "Don't worry, as long as you are sure that you want to buy it, Uncle He will definitely be able to buy it for you." ”

Mingcheng hurriedly said that he really wanted to buy it.

Old Man Ming and Ming Di did not say anything against it, and the great contribution that Ming Yue has made to the family in the past half a year has made Old Man Ming and Ming Di have the confidence to be fascinated by her.

Even after settling the carriage fee, Old Man Ming specially took two taels of silver to He Shigui as a deposit.

***

"This is the title deed, you can lock it up." When he got home, Old Man Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he handed the deed paper to Mrs. Ming, "There are only two taels of silver left, and there are two strings of thirty dollars left." ”

While speaking, Old Man Ming took out the remaining silver money to Mrs. Ming.

Mrs. Ming touched the deed paper, her face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and Mingdi and Mingcheng, who were sitting and listening to the second elder, were also smiling.

"What about the kids? Why haven't you come home yet? After the joy passed, Old Man Ming found out that there were only Mrs. Ming and Xiao Mingxue at home.

"I said I had to dig up the yam today." Mrs. Ming didn't care much about the sky.

Mo said that today, Xie's, Tao's, Zhou's and Mingtang all went up to Nanshan with the children, even when there were only a few children going up the mountain together, Mrs. Ming never worried about the safety of the children.

Who made Nanshan not only have a gentle slope, but also have no poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and no wild animals larger than rabbits and pheasants?

With such a hill that is barely lethal, what danger can it be even if it is a little darker?

"Then my second brother and I will go to meet them." Akichi stood up as he spoke.

Mingcheng also had this intention, and the two brothers walked out of the courtyard gate one after the other and walked in the direction of Nanshan.

At this time, at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, Mingyue and the others were carrying their backs, hugging them, carrying them, and carrying them, all of them were sweating profusely and panting.

Speaking of which, this matter was all provoked by Mingyue.

Because she was worried that the wild yam they found in the spring would be attacked by others in advance, Mingyue did not save the wild yams that grew this year until next spring before digging them up and selling.

In her mind, instead of taking the risk of being attacked by others first, waiting for the price of the yam to rise by a penny and a half, she might as well dig up the yam home as soon as possible, take the money in her hands, and settle down.

Out of this mentality, as soon as he went up the mountain today, Mingyue asked Erlang to take Mingtang, Xie, and Zhou to dig yams.

As for the others, her mother Tao, Shiro and Goro, two small ones, were assigned a task by her to collect nuts, and Da Lang, San Lang and Jia Yan were taken by her to Xishan, which is adjacent to Nanshan.

Xishan is also called Luofeng Mountain, it is the highest and steepest mountain around Wulitun, because it is located in the west of Wulitun, so the people in the village generally call it "West Mountain".

The grass in the western mountains is deep and dense, and it is said that there are also large animals such as deer, roe deer, badgers, wild boars, foxes, and wolves.

And the reason why Mingyue was willing to go far and risked a wolf to come to Xishan was entirely because Nanshan had no medicinal materials for her to collect.

In the past half a year, she has always taken a few boys from her family to look for medicinal materials in Nanshan, and with their general digging method of locust crossing, Nanshan, a small mountain bag that does not have many resources, can insist on being dug by her for more than half a year, all thanks to the accumulation of years and months before.
