Chapter 54: Buying Land
A few days ago, Qiao Mo'er went to the town to sell crabs and bought him steamed buns, and after eating, the beans kept reminiscing. He thought that the bun was the best thing he had ever eaten, but now he felt that the bun made by his sister was even better.
"Eat slowly, it's still after eating." Qiao Mo'er rubbed his head and began to go back to the house to help Han Shi lift the pot.
Qiao Mo'er picked up ten meat buns, wrapped them in oiled paper, and put them into the basket that she asked her father to help weave in the past few days, and asked Dou'er to send them to Zhao Xiang's family.
"Uncle Zhao will definitely let you eat, don't be greedy, we still have more in the pot."
"I know."
Dou'er grinned, took the basket and ran out.
"Hu Langzhong there..."
"I'll deliver it."
Listening to Han's question, Qiao Mo'er said while picking up buns.
There is only one lady in Hu Langzhong's family, there are no children, Qiao Mo'er took care of it, picked up five meat and vegetarian each, and then went back to the house and took a string of money and stuffed it into his arms, and then went out.
Hu Langzhong's wife, Mrs. Hu, was cooking, when she heard someone knocking on the door, she put down the firewood in her hand and walked out, saw the small body outside the door, and opened the door with a smile, "Why is Mo'er here?" ”
This made Qiao Mo'er a little embarrassed, she had indeed been running here more diligently during this time.
"Is Hu Langzhong here?"
"You're looking for him, it's not a coincidence, he went out to see someone, and it is estimated that he will not come back until the afternoon. Who in your family is uncomfortable? My aunt also knows some medical skills. ”
After marrying her husband for five years, she has not been able to have a child, which is just Mrs. Hu's regret, so she likes children very much, especially for Qiao Moer, a clever little girl.
"I'm here to thank Hu Langzhong, I've been bothering him all these days, our family steamed buns today, so I'll send you some." As she spoke, Qiao Mo'er handed over the basket in her hand.
Mrs. Hu lifted the cotton cloth covering the basket, looked at the bun inside, and frowned: "The doctor is benevolent, he also collects money for medical treatment, and it is not easy for your family, our family is not short of this, you can take it home, I can't accept it." ”
Knowing that Mrs. Hu said this not because she was disgusted, but for their sake, Qiao Mo'er's heart warmed, and she said: "Auntie, this is a part of our family's heart, if you don't accept it, I won't come to Hu Langzhong in the future." ”
"You kid, you're threatening your aunt." Mrs. Hu glanced at Qiao Mo'er and said, "The two of us can't eat too much, I'll pick up half of it and take the rest back for you." ”
"Auntie, we still have it in our family, and our family has become better now, otherwise we can't afford to eat white flour meat buns, right?" Qiao Mo'er persuaded.
In the end, Mrs. Hu still accepted all the buns, looked at Qiao Mo'er's distant back, and muttered in her heart that this child was sensible.
………………
The steamed buns at home were eaten in one meal, Qiao Mo'er only ate three and already felt bloated, and Han ate two. The rest all went into the bellies of the four men.
"Dad, have you inquired about the earth?" After eating and drinking, Qiao Mo'er began to ask about business.
"I asked." Qiao Guangfa took another sip of bone broth, cleared his throat and said: "There are ten acres of high-grade fields to sell on the Xiliang River, and there is a high-grade paddy field of about ten acres in Xinghua Village next door. Another is that at the foot of the mountain in our village, there are 15 acres of medium fields. ”
"Did Daddy ask?" Qiao Mo'er asked again.
"The high-grade field is four taels of silver per acre, the medium field is three taels, and the paddy field is five taels of silver per acre."
"Then we only have fifty taels of silver to buy land now..."After calculating in her heart, Qiao Mo'er looked at her father, who was still injured on her head, but was full of energy when she talked about the ground, and asked with a smile: "That dad wants to buy that piece?" ”
"Supposedly, I want to buy paddy fields, but the land is a bit far away..."Qiao Guangfa hesitated.
"Mother, what do you say? Everybody talk. Qiao Mo'er asked Han again, looking at Qiao Wu and Dou'er blinking, and with a wave of their hands, they all took it with them.
