Chapter 33: The Huang Family Cornucopia

Because of the construction of a house and a home, Huang Laohan also deliberately led the patriarch and the seventh grandfather to discuss the price of buying land with the mayor of the town. In the end, it was agreed that the homestead would be sold for one or two silver per acre, but the house must be built according to the requirements, and the 200 acres bought by the Huang family were not within the scope of this care.

The little brother of the Huang family was still a little indignant when he heard the news, but Huang Laohan and his sons were the same as Spiegel in their hearts, their family spent 400 taels, and really bought 260 acres of wasteland, 200 acres of beach land, and a whole small hill.

The extra fifty acres were also secretly divided among the warehouses. That is, they have an extra sixty acres of land to build a warehouse.

However, the Huang family did not prepare to use these fifty acres of land separately, but was ready to give it away one day.

As for who to give it to, that's all it can say, and we'll talk about it when the time comes!

Starting from the place where houses can be built on the shore of East Lake, the Huang family left a whole range of nearly 100 acres of land, and this 100 acres will be a copy of the Qianjia Warehouse A and B Warehouses at Nanshan Wharf.

And Huang Dou's heart is bigger, and the warehouses she planned are three rows of front warehouses, middle warehouses and back warehouses, and there are drainage ditch firewalls between each warehouse to ensure adequate security.

This 100 acres is empty here on the surface, in fact, it has already been divided, and the five brothers of the Huang family have 20 acres each, and they are divided face to face, that is, ten acres to the south and ten acres to the north.

In the other 100 acres, the Huang family is also divided into 10 acres according to the five brothers facing each other, a total of 20 acres. Temporary building is to build a south-facing house first, and the opposite side is temporarily immovable, so that you can make a vegetable plot and raise chickens and ducks.

The Huang family's 200 acres of beach land was selected by soybeans, more than a mile away from here, and it is a piece of land that has been silted up for many years, just under the small hill of the Huang family's own house.

It's not exactly a beach, and there is a pond that is washed out and recessed, so the extra 50 acres of Huangjia's beach land is this pond.

The land next to the pond is very fertile, and the soybean is planned to be developed to grow food. When the water rises in the summer, the pond is flooded, and when the summer passes and the water recedes in autumn, the pond is completely exposed.

For others, this pond of dozens of acres is basically a waste, but soybeans feel that it is a cornucopia, which will bring a large number of fish and crabs from East Lake into the pond in the rainy season, and what soybeans have to do is to lure fish and crabs into and stay.

In fact, soybeans also thought about raising pearls by raising pearl mussels. However, this method is a bit difficult for the uncle to accept. And the time is also long, it is not as quick and easy as waiting for the fish and shrimp to enter the pond.

The Huang family was so busy that they began to buy land and prepare materials for building the house.

And Huang Deming's future father-in-law's family is very noisy.

Huang Deming's future father-in-law's surname is Xu, Xu Tugen, a monkey, known as Xu Monkey, because he is thin and shrewd, he got this nickname.

Xu Monkey gave birth to three sons and a daughter, all of whom were mediocre in appearance, but only one daughter, who was indeed very good-looking, with a thin waist and plump buttocks, a white face and slender eyes.

The matchmaker who was the matchmaker was Xu Matchmaker of Xujiazhuang, and her daughter married in Huangjiawan and was the youngest daughter-in-law of Grandpa Huang Douqi's family.

The Huang family has a lot of good land, and anyone who knows Huang Laohan will not agree with the daughter of the family to marry the Huang family. His family not only has a good family background, but also has many children and grandchildren, which is a proper marriage and will not be bullied.

Huang Deming followed Xu Matchmaker to Xujiazhuang to see the girl Xu Caixia, passing by Xu Monkey's house, the courtyard wall was low, Xu Xiuxia stuck her head out of the wall to look, and was seen by Huang Deming at a glance.

Actually, Mrs. Xu is a little reluctant, because Xu Monkey is the kind of person who is lazy and scoundrel.

And Xu Xiuxia's three elder brothers are not bad to say, like their mother, honest and honest. Although Xu Xiuxia is a girl, her personality is like his father, and she has been a strong master since she was a child, and she has to be unforgiving.

Huang Deming saw Xu Xiuxia in the courtyard wall at a glance, but he didn't react yet. Xu Monkey was so coincidental, opened the door and walked out, and stopped Mrs. Xu with a spring breeze on her face: "Auntie, you are kissing my family Xiuxia, which young man is this young man, look at the head, not bad, hurry up...... Sit in the house. ”

As he spoke, he dragged Mrs. Xu to the house, shouting while dragging: "Xiuxia, your grandmother from Nanzhuang is here, give your grandmother a few eggs in sugar water." ”

Xu Xiuxia, who was still looking at the wall just now, walked out of the house shyly and shouted softly: "Grandma." After glancing at Huang Deming again, he went into the kitchen, and after a while, he brought out two bowls of poached eggs in sugar water, a bowl of three white and chubby poached eggs, and two red dates.

What can Mrs. Xu say, she swallowed her anger and ate three sugar water eggs and sent Huang Deming home. And Huang Deming ate three sugar water eggs, his heart was sweet, and when he went home, he said to his mother, I want to talk about this Xu Xiuxia.

Huang Erniang was also happy when she saw that her son liked it, and after discussing with Huang Laoer, she found Xu Matchmaker to be a matchmaker. The two families verbally agreed, just waiting for the Huang family to come to talk about the dowry after the autumn and marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year.

Who knows, before the autumn harvest, Huangjiagou was flattened by a mudslide, and although the people were fine, the family business was gone. Xu Monkey inquired and found out that the future aunt's family lived in his fourth uncle's house in the town.

After waiting for more than a month, it should be harvested, it should be done, I only heard that the Huang family built three straw huts on the ground, and I didn't hear that the Huang family was going to buy a house in the town, but there was news that they were going to buy land and build a house on the wasteland in the east of the town, and Xu Monkey couldn't sit still.

Originally, he thought that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and Huang Laohan's confidence was so hard, it would definitely be no problem to buy two suites in Nanshan Town, but now that he looks at it, he miscalculated.

Who doesn't know the wasteland in the east of the town, and when you go to Nanshan Town in the nearby villages, you can see that land from afar, and it is desolate. No one asked for it, and the Huang family went there to buy land, obviously because they had no money, and built a village with the victims to rub off on the welfare of the town.

Xu Monkey wants to find Xu Matchmaker's wife to go to the Huang family to say that this kiss is not done, he is like a flower-like daughter, and he feels wronged when he marries the town, not to mention that the Huang family is now broken.

Originally, Mrs. Xu heard that Xu Monkey was looking for her, and she was quite happy, thinking that she had seen Xu Monkey before, but she saw that the Huang family had an accident, and people took the initiative to talk to her about her family, which shows that Xu Monkey is still an authentic person.

She is a person, and she never does one thing behind her back, she has one thing to say and two things to say, so she has a good reputation.

When I entered the courtyard gate of Xu Monkey's house, I saw Xu Monkey sitting in the yard basking in the sun, and his daughter-in-law and two daughters-in-law were sitting in the yard, peeling corn kernels.

They are not outsiders, and in terms of it, Mrs. Xu is still the distant aunt of Xu Monkey.

When Xu Monkey saw Mrs. Xu come in, he didn't raise his eyelids, and he didn't say anything about moving a stool for Mrs. Xu to sit on. Or Xu Monkey's eldest daughter-in-law, lowered her head, brought a small stool from the side and handed it to Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, you sit." ”

Here, Mrs. Xu's ass hasn't fallen off the stool, and over there, Xu Monkey spoke: "Auntie, you see that my Xiuxia is also sixteen, not to mention that people will be older." I invited my aunt to come today, I want to take a look, and let my aunt find a family with a solid family. ”

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was stunned: "Tugen, what are you talking about, didn't your daughter look at Huang Jiagou, the eldest son of the second son of the Huang family?" ”

"Auntie, you can't ruin Xiuxia's reputation, she's your own granddaughter. The Huang family has never said anything, nor has it given a dowry, nor has it been a Gengti, so this matter cannot be counted. ”

"Why can't it be counted, didn't you promise to be good at the beginning, wait for the autumn harvest to pass the Geng post, and prepare for the dowry?" Mrs. Xu was anxious and couldn't help raising her voice.

"Auntie, I call you an aunt, that's respect for you, how can you push my Xiuxia into the fire pit, the Huang family is now poor and wants to marry my daughter after building three grass sheds, that's such a good thing." Xu Monkey saw that Mrs. Xu was angry, and couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Xiuxia, you come out for me." Mrs. Xu said and walked into the house.

The third daughter-in-law of Xu Monkey's family just came out of the room: "Grandma, Xiuxia has a cold and is lying down after drinking medicine." ”

"It's okay to lie down, I'll ask her a word, she still can't talk about the Huang family's relatives." Mrs. Xu pushed the second daughter-in-law of the Xu family away and kicked open the door of the West House.

Where is Xu Xiuxia lying, sitting upright in front of the window embroidering: "Grandma, don't ask, I listen to my father." ”

Xu Matchmaker scolded angrily: "A shameless rag, Xu Monkey, you are not a thing, the Huang family does not look at my face, how can you fall in love with your daughter, now that someone has an accident, your family will quickly clear up, I am afraid that one day, the Huang family will make a fortune, and if you ask for the door, people will not look at you." ”

After scolding, he walked into the yard and kicked down half of the jar of pickled vegetables in front of Xu Monkey's house, and a sour smell suddenly filled the entire yard.

The courtyard wall of Xu Monkey's house is made of rammed soil, and it has peeled off from the wind and sun.

Mrs. Xu's voice was loud again, and immediately someone looked inside from outside the courtyard wall: "Aunt Xu, Xu Monkey intercepted the son-in-law of Xu Laoshi's family and regretted it?" It's good to regret it, you go to Xu Laoshi's house again and say that you go, I think Caixia is much better than Xiuxia. ”

Xu Caixia is the girl that Xu Matchmaker wanted to tell Huang Deming at the beginning, her father called Xu Honest, and Xu Monkey is a cousin. Xu Caixia has an elder brother above and a younger brother below, although the family is not rich, they also live in harmony.

Xu Caixia is also a diligent person, helping her father and mother go to the ground every day, bringing nephews and nieces to her brother and sister-in-law.

Mrs. Xu went out of Xu Monkey's house, thought about it and thought about it, and sure enough, she turned into the courtyard of Xu Laoshi's house.

The courtyard of Xu Laoshi's house is also a rammed mud wall, and the wall is lit with evening beans and autumn loofahs, and the flowers are blooming. There was a jujube tree in the yard, the jujube was gone, and the ground was clean, with only a few fallen leaves floating.

Mrs. Xu knew about the Huang family's purchase of land, and she didn't know how much she bought, but there must be a lot, indicating that people's waists were still thick, and she was still reluctant to go back like this, so she came to Caixia's house with a cheeky face.

Another reason is that she really values Caixia as a girl.
