As soon as the sky was dark, everyone packed up, and they arrived at Nanshan Village after it was dark. There are not many households in the village, and there are a few mud houses scattered at the foot of the mountain.

Most of the families in the village have not been moving in for a long time, and each family has built two or three houses, and their own homes are not enough to live in, so there is vacant land to rent to others.

In addition to the two officials who sent them over to live in the village chief's house, the Su family, together with the Zhang family and his wife, as well as Yun Niang's mother and son, all continued to sleep outside directly with the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed. But luckily, everyone got used to it.

When the day dawned, Qingling and they saw the appearance of the village clearly, this village was built at the end of the stream, built on the edge of the stream, there were only forty-three small courtyards in total, some of the homes were two earthen houses, some of the homes were three, and there were no more.

I think that the population of the whole village will not exceed 200, and it is really pitiful that the population is small.

After waiting for the official to have breakfast, Su Jingyun and his brothers accompanied the official to go to the land, this time the land was not only the reclamation task of their exile, but also the land for housing in the future.

They had been reminded before, and there were two measured officials on the way here, so the reclamation area divided for their group of people was relatively flat, and it was not far from the village. There are not too many large stones, but mostly wild weeds, which proves that this land is easy to cultivate.

Next is the homestead, which is vast and sparsely populated, and the officials who received the benefits let them pick their own places and help them draw the foundation of the homestead to a great extent.

Moreover, the homestead chosen by the Su family is connected, although the family is separated, but after all, they are still brothers, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons. It is convenient to take care of it after living closer.

The place chosen by the Su family is backed by the mountains and at the source of the stream. The only downside is that it's a little far away from other households in the village. Not very concentrated.

Yun Niang and the Zhang family chose to be closer to other households in the village, but it was not too far from the Su family, about two or three hundred meters away.

Things are handled more or less smoothly, and now it is not easy for the people in the village, even the village chief's family has nothing good. And after their group came, the village chief has been busy, and it is not easy.

In the end, he didn't greet a few more officials to eat, and while it was still early, Su Jingyun and his brothers gave the leader of the official errand three taels of silver, and they were happy to pay for the money and wine in front of everyone.

Three taels of silver is not a small amount of money, plus the Su family gave some money before, this time I made a lot of money. The Su family is good, and they will come to trouble. A few officials left with a smile on their faces.

In the next two days, a group of people from the Su family partnered to build four straw huts, which were only used for temporary living, and they would be for a period of time. I also sorted out some materials by the way, and also helped Yun Niang's mother and son build a grass shed in the place they chose, and there was only so much to help.

The Su family spent some money and invited all the laborers in Nanshan Village, and a total of sixty men in Nanshan Village came to help. But the effect is obvious.

Two months four courtyards were built, each courtyard was built into a simple version of the courtyard look, in the middle is the lobby hall, wide and spacious, there are two slightly smaller ear rooms on the left and one on the right, one side is set aside to be a kitchen, one side is used to put some sundries. There are two wings on the east and west, left and right.

This kind of yard looks very good here, and the people in the village look good, but unfortunately their house has been built, and when the baby in the family gets married, their own house will be repaired like this, which is beautiful enough.

The Su family, regardless of adults or children, was very happy looking at the house, and finally settled down. The people in the village took the last income of the day, and they were not satisfied. Fifteen copper plates a day, they worked for two months, which was worth a year's income for the family.

Hey, however, this house has already been built, and it will be difficult to find such a good thing in the future.

After sending off the people in the village, the Su family and a group of people looked east and west. It's all good. But I didn't rush to move into a new home. Instead, they each returned to their own huts, and the family began to think about the things they needed to do at home, and then moved when they had bought all the things.

Now that I have a home, I want a lot of things. All kinds of furniture to buy, bedding and clothes to buy, especially when the weather is getting colder and colder, there are pots and pans.

Su Jingyun and Qingling and Mingzhu discussed, and several children also gathered around them, looking like little adults, as if they were racking their brains to figure out what to add to the family, if the adults affirmed their suggestions, they immediately raised their heads and raised their chests like a little rooster. provoked the corners of the adult's mouth to curl secretly.

In this desolate realm, there is also a vigorous life.

In the early morning, everything was silent, the sky had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, everything was so fresh, the eastern horizon was shining with a hint of light, carefully encroaching on the light blue sky, and the sound of insects began to sound not far from the house, and a new day gradually moved from afar.

The families got up, and after packing up, they took the children to the village chief's house, because the new house had nothing, and they had made an appointment to start a fire at the village chief's house, and the grain was moved to the village chief's house.

Of course, it was also paid, but the village chief kept refusing, and finally was slanted by the village chief's daughter-in-law and took the money. After that, it was attentive, and every time the portion was full, there was no shortage of catties or two. also keeps changing the dishes to make them for them, and they are kind-hearted.

Today is also the last meal at the village chief's house, and he will have to fire himself in the future.

The daughter-in-law of the village chief, everyone calls her Aunt Qian, today they boiled millet porridge, and fried a lot of cakes, which tasted like eggs, although it was light but it was already a good thing that could be provided at present, how many people were reluctant to eat eggs, and kept them to sell them or use them for exchange, which was hard currency.

After eating, the village chief took them to the town to buy things, they had a lot of things to buy, and the village chief drove the ox cart to the town, and there were too many children to take with them, and finally decided that Su Mingzhu and Lin would take the children to stay and watch the children, while the others went shopping together.

A few children are also well-behaved, they didn't make a fuss to go, if they are obedient, when their parents come back, they will have sugar and pastries to eat, and Lin has repeatedly told her to buy some pancreas and bath beans, rouge, etc. Finally settled down, she had to clean herself up.

Qingling touched the heads of several children, there is no danger here, it is inconvenient to buy things with small buns, so she has to hand over the little buns to Mingzhu and Lin, and they help take care of them.

"You follow your aunt and aunt, you have to be obedient, and your mother will come back after buying things and bring you delicious food." Qingling told the three children, and several children looked at Qingling reluctantly. But he nodded obediently. Su Mingyuan and Su Mingxi also repeatedly said that they would help take care of their younger brother.

After instructing the children, he thanked the second sister-in-law and said, "Second sister-in-law, the children will bother you." ”

"Little things, I must take good care of a few children, don't worry. But you remember to help me remind your second brother, remember to buy all the things I asked him to buy. Lin promised.

"Okay. Thank you, second sister-in-law, then let's go. Qingling replied, waiting for them to finish speaking, before turning around with Su Jingyun and following the others.

This time they plan to buy daily necessities, furniture these do not need to go to the city to buy, the village chief introduced the village Lao Ding, he is a carpenter, simple wooden, stools and basins are still good. The Su family ordered a batch of stools and basins from him.

In the reluctant and expectant eyes of several children, several adults of the Su family embarked on the journey to the city with the village chief in a rickety ox cart. The ox cart here is not easy to sit on, and it is swaying along the way, and because of the large number of people, a few men have to come down and walk a long way. This cow is precious, and it is not easy for them to have one in their village.

After four hours, they arrived in the town, and the village chief wanted to buy some vegetable seeds, and by the way, he visited Xie Lao's neighborhood, and said that he would wait at the city gate in the afternoon, and then separated. When they arrived in the town, Qingling and the others found the money village and exchanged their silver tickets for cash or copper plates.

After Qingling and Su Jingyun discussed, they exchanged a silver ticket of one hundred taels into four ingots of twenty taels, one of ten taels and one of five taels, and after paying the fee of one hundred and sixty yuan, the rest was exchanged for copper plates.

Out of the money village, Qingling and a few of them still came to the West Street together, on the way to the village chief told them if they want to buy daily furniture to buy here, this street is complete, the price is affordable, as soon as you enter the street, all kinds of shouting and selling are endless, it is very lively.

Qingling and their family went down and bought a lot of things, picking out more than a dozen white porcelain bowls, a few single dishes, some chopsticks, and some pottery cups. Compared with the other large pottery bowls that are painted black, you don't need to touch them to know that they are not smooth, and there are many small bumps on them when they are not burned well when they are fired. It's already a good calculation.

In fact, there are very few people who buy this kind of white porcelain, but it does not affect the content, and the common people who will care, most of them buy pottery bowls. I paid for it, and carefully tied it with straw and put it in the back basket, which was still from the village chief's house.

Qi and Yang also picked up and bought some, tied them up like green lings and put them in their respective baskets. Su Jingchen saw it and hurriedly bought some.

A few people went to the place where the iron was struck and bought a spatula, a big one, a small one, quite heavy, and bought farm tools and kitchen knives under the reminder of the shopkeeper, but fortunately, the shopkeeper promised to help deliver it to the city gate, and they didn't need to take it, and they could put it directly on the ox cart when the time came.

After making an appointment, everyone continued to buy and buy, bought all kinds of grain, bought a lot of store also promised to send it to the city gate, bought all kinds of spices, but the seasoning here is still relatively monotonous, only salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and a kind of sauce, the same bought some, also weighed some sugar, these to directly put in the back basket. There are also vegetable seeds in this store, and Qingling also bought some by the way.

After walking around this street, things have increased a lot, large quilts and cotton cloth of various colors, needles and threads, a few catties of ordinary pastries of various colors, and I also bought some pork and plate oil.

It cost a full sixty-three taels of silver to buy so many things, which is worth the savings of ordinary people for several years.

Everyone bought almost it, and Su Jingchen was a little embarrassed and said to the others, "I, I want to buy some pen, ink and paper, don't buy too expensive, just buy some casually." Are you going? ”

Su Jingyun's eyes lit up and dimmed casually, and he turned his face to the side and pretended not to care, but his ears were secretly pricked up and waiting for Qingling's reply, the family is all under Qingling's tube, and the money spent now is Qingling's, what kind of request is he having there.

The others also looked thoughtful, the Qi family and the Yang family were still hesitating, but Su Jinglan and Su Jingli were quite moved.

Qingling didn't know what Su Jingyun thought, he was still not interested when he bought things just now, especially when he bought pork, he had a loveless expression on his face, and finally put it in his back basket, and he didn't refuse. Qingling smiled secretly.

Looking at Su Jingyun now, Qingling coughed and said, "Okay, we're going to go and see it too, a few children always have to study." I still have to buy some paper and ink."

As soon as Qingling's words were said, everyone no longer hesitated, and children's education was still very important.

A few people walked through the alley and came to another street, as if they had entered another world, the noise suddenly disappeared, the street was quiet and tidy, and the people who came and went were well dressed, mostly bookstores and expensive jewelry rouge and gouache shops, high-end silk clothing stores.

Qingling and they picked a study that looked small but very neat, they bought a lot of paper, and also picked out some brushes and inkstones. The shopkeeper's smile wiped their spare parts. In the end, each of them picked two books, and this time the shopkeeper was even more happy.

Looking at the books in the bookstore. Several men in the Su family were reluctant to give up, but they didn't sell a copy. They don't know how to farm, they don't have the ability to make a living, if they sit in the museum, they are waiting for sins after all, and ordinary people will not choose them to teach the children in the family.

This means that they may have no income for a long time, especially since their two families have a total of five adults, and they need to reclaim 50 acres of wasteland in a year, and their family will definitely not be able to complete it, which also requires a sum of money to hire someone to reclaim, and there are many children in the family, and there are still more places to use the money, so the money should be saved.

It cost sixteen taels to buy it like this, and reading in this era is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

When paying, Qingling did not use the remaining silver, but took another hundred silver tickets to pay the bill, this street usually uses silver tickets and silver two, unlike the place where they bought just now usually uses copper plates and broken silver, the little brother in the store didn't say anything when he saw it, and soon opened it for them, but charged the same handling fee of twenty yuan.

Su Jingyun went to buy what the Lin family wanted, and Su Jinglan and the others also went to other places to shop. Qingling's side, Qingling's medicinal materials have long been in mind. During this time, Qingling picked and chose to search in her mind for a long time, and finally found a prescription suitable for ordinary people who have not cultivated to refine their bodies, most of the medicinal materials in it are common, and this world has them. If you don't have it, you have to find something similar to the medicine instead. There may be a discount on the efficacy, but it is sufficient.

"I want to buy some medicinal herbs, I have a prescription for Johnson & Johnson here, it's not convenient on the road, now I can buy all of them to recuperate your body."

"Listen to you." Su Jingyun was happy in his heart, it was good to be remembered, and said with a smile.

Fortunately, there are a few pharmacies at the end of this street, Qingling walked three in a row to buy them all, Qingling bought a three-month amount at one time, and also bought some commonly used medicinal materials by the way, put them at home for backup, this medicine bought more, the price is not light, and it cost more than eighty taels at once. It is no wonder that in ancient times, the birth of a disease usually caused the farmer who had been making a living in the soil all his life to smash the pot and sell iron.

Most of the medicinal materials were concocted, and they were not heavy, and Qingling carried them and left.

Qingling bought two hairpins for Su Mingzhu, picked out a few chic head ropes for Su Yunxi, and bought some pastries, which were almost done, and Qingling and they were also busy meeting with the chief under the big willow tree at the city gate.

When they arrived, the chief of the village was waiting there, chatting with a stocky young man, and there were some pots on the ox cart, and he saw them coming and beckoning them

Meaning, Qingling paid the money to this young man who came to deliver the pot, and after receiving the money and saying a few words, he bought the pot and came to their store to buy it, and left happily.

At this time, the food I bought was also delivered, and after paying the money, I set out on the way back to the village in an ox cart. On the way, I thanked the village chief for accompanying them to buy things. With dusk, it was not until night fell that a few stars appeared in the sky, and then I arrived home.

Several of the children in the family rubbed their eyes and refused to sleep, waiting for them to return.
