In this side of the countryside, in fact, not only is it difficult to find a side house, but it is also a problem to fetch water in this village. There is a big well outside the door of the house in the east of the village, and everyone has to go there to fetch water.

In the morning, the people who just fetched water had to go far away, and the big well did not have a platform, and it was frozen with ice in winter. It is said that in the past, some people slipped into the well in winter, but many people around them quickly caught it.

Su Tong pondered while eating, and said after a while: "There are four or five rooms that open the door at both ends, but the main thing is not to go through the door with the landlord." ”

"Okay, I'll go out with you tomorrow, and don't just go out on this main road, there are still several trips to the front and back."

Both of them were in a hurry to find a house, because Laneige, who had been sick all the way, was still living in the Qingshui Town Hospital.

This man used their five taels of silver, and at present, the two of them did not have much left, and bought some things for the family, leaving a little more than thirteen taels. This is still Yue'er pressed tightly, otherwise Su Zhi would be able to spend all this silver in one day.

As soon as Laneige came over, how could he sleep on this kang, besides, he was born as a girl, but he put a score of the prince's family, and he might have to wait for Yue'er, which is annoying to think about.

After breakfast the next day, the two of them locked the door of the West House, covered it tightly and went out. There is no hand stove, Yue'er has one hand in the placket, and the other hand is tightly wrapped by Su Zhi's big hand.

Walking around the village, most of them are in that situation, where a family has built about five adobe houses, and the whole family lives in these five rooms.

The wing room is Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Lizheng's house, but you can't drive Mrs. Yang away, and you can't live in Mrs. Lizheng's house.

In this small Beishan village of more than 30 households, there are only five or six households that open the door at the east and west ends. Just look at the chimney on the roof, and you can see that the houses are not empty.

On the way, he met a few village men, so Su Tong took the initiative to go up and ask about renting a house.

As a result, nothing was found, and the two returned home disappointed.

In this way, I have to continue to live in Liu Laoshi's house, this time Yue'er brought the stove into the West House, anyway, the two of them have enough food in a casserole. Usually, stir-fry some meat and pickles, even if you add a dish.

The big pot in the outhouse is only used for steaming dry food and cooking, and the time is a little staggered with the old Liu family, so I don't listen to Aunt Liu's chatter.

This is not a complete agricultural slack at this time, and the grain drying in the yards of every household should be beaten. Hit it out and sell it, and pay the rent of the person who should pay the rent, this year is the end of the busy work.

It only took five or six days to start collecting food, and Li Zheng asked his teenage son to come to Su Tong.

When I went to the kung fu that could have a stick of incense, Su Zhi came back, closed the door and whispered to Yue'er: "Give me eight taels of silver, Mrs. Yang's house is going to be sold, and I want ten taels, and I talked about eight taels." ”

Yue'er was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't Mrs. Yang pass this winter?" ”

"No, someone from her mother-in-law's family picked her up, saying that she wouldn't come back in the future, the house was sold by Yang Laoer, and it was originally in his name."

Yue'er took out the silver and gave it to Su Zhi and couldn't help sighing: "I don't believe that Yang Lao Er can treat her well, maybe I heard that we were going to buy a house, so I quickly got her away." ”

Su Tong rubbed her head and comforted: "We can't take care of this matter, and now Mrs. Yang has taken it away." ”

Speaking of buying a house, Yue'er couldn't sit still, so she got dressed on the ground and went to Lizheng's house with Su Zhi.

That Yang Lao Er is also a farmer, basically like Liu Laoshi, hunched over. But this person looks much more shrewd than Liu Laoshi, and his eyes roll from time to time.

When he saw that the man who wanted to buy his house came with his daughter-in-law, he asked again, "Do you want to buy a field?" I still have five large fields in this north mountain, and there are six acres of fireworks land. ”

Li Zheng also said: "His fireworks are behind your house, aren't there two empty room numbers behind your house, and after that house number is his land." ”

Su Tong asked, "How much is an acre?" ”

Yang Lao Er stretched out three fingers, and Yue'er immediately said: "That's a lot, at most it's only two taels of silver per acre, if you want to sell us, it will cost two acres, just forget it." ”

Yang Lao Er suddenly looked a little disdainful: "Two acres of land is enough for something, except for eating by yourself, you can't come out of anything, you have to plant half of the potatoes, then the food is not enough for your own family to eat." ”

Yue'er's words didn't let people go: "What am I doing with so many potatoes, two acres is enough for the two of us to eat for a year, if you want to sell it, sell it, if you don't sell it, wait for a high price." Saying that, she pulled Su Tong with a displeased face: "Hurry up and sign the house, you have to go home to work, how can you always waste time here." ”

Li Zheng glanced at Su Zhi, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he also urged Yang Lao Er. At this time, several respected people in the village who were looking for also came, signed the deed and handed over the silver, Yue'er said to Li Zheng with a smile: "Uncle Li Zheng, let my men go to the town to buy some wine and food, and come to my house to drink at noon." ”

Li Zheng waved his hand, got up and said, "Keep this wine for now, it's not too late to drink it when you have moved, hurry up and clean up the house, the house doesn't look like a decent place." ”

Su Zhi also spoke politely, but Li Zheng refused for those old men. He knows the identities of these two people, and this is not everyone's wine is delicious.

On the way back, the two discussed, how could they buy Yang Laoer's six acres of fireworks land.

What is the fireworks field, in fact, it is close to the village. There is an old saying in the countryside that an ugly wife is a treasure near the home.

This near the ground refers to the fireworks land, close to the village, every household burns the fire to cook, the smoke can smoke into the ground, and the ashes of plants and trees poured in front of the house and behind the house also drift to the ground with the wind. Over time, the growth of this fireworks field is exceptionally good, people at the time did not understand, in fact, the plant ash is not natural potassium fertilizer, floating into the ground as soon as it rains and is absorbed by the crops.

There is also the convenience of serving, the only bad thing is that the free-range livestock in the village, can not see the pigs who go in a piece of arch, when the ducks and geese go in a small green seedling, it is also a scourge.

Even if these six acres of fireworks land are talked about two taels of silver and one acre, it will cost twelve taels. After buying the house, the two of them left more than five taels of silver, this house is really as Li Zheng said, there is no appearance.

I didn't go home when I got out of Lizheng's house, so I went directly to Mrs. Yang's yard with things and wings. It may seem impossible to buy a yard for eight taels of silver, but you must know that in the backward countryside in the 80s, it was only about three or four thousand yuan for three adobe houses.

There is no doubt about this, and don't compare the price in your area at that time, now the country is not a uniform standard for housing prices, and there are great differences between cities, not to mention remote villages where transportation is underdeveloped and products are not abundant.

I want to talk about "Falling Branches Flying" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
