Li Zheng shook his head, not understanding the young man's thoughts. "Our village is dependent on the fields for food, so no one will sell, and now there are two famous, paddy fields and dry fields with a total of 20 acres, but they are all scattered, one in the east and one in the west. As for the wasteland, there are a lot of them in the village, so it's better to talk about them. ”

Lei Biao said, "It's hard to take care of it if it's not a film." ”

Lin Xia nodded in agreement.

"There's no way, who would sell so much land in one go." The road that is in trouble.

"Can you exchange land with a few neighboring houses? It's all the ground anyway! Lin Xia said, took out a small dark blue money bag from his sleeve and handed it to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng touched the money bag, touched a silver ingot, estimated that it was about five taels, smiled and put the money bag into his sleeve, "Yes, after the autumn harvest, I will talk to a few villagers and mark the location of the paddy field and dry field together for you." ”

Lin Xia nodded in agreement.

Li Zheng asked again, "Where are you going to choose your homestead?" ”

Lin Xia glanced at Lei Biao, she probably knew the terrain of the village, and she couldn't get a good location.

Lei Biao also glanced at her and said, "Just near Qingyue Mountain, just mark the wasteland in a contiguous position." ”

Li Zheng nodded, took out a booklet and looked at it and said, "Two two or two hundred yuan per mu of paddy field, two taels per mu of dry land, one mu and one tael of wasteland, and five taels and three hundred yuan per mu of homestead." You bought five acres of paddy and dry fields, twenty acres of wasteland, and one acre of homestead land, for a total of forty-six two or three hundred yuan. In addition, it costs 100 yuan to apply for a title deed. ”

Lin Xia nodded, glanced at Lei Biao, Lei Biao immediately took out four small ingots of ten taels and one five taels, and then took out a tael of broken silver, and four small circles of one hundred copper coins each.

Lin Xia suddenly asked, "Uncle Li Zheng, I want to ask if Qingyue Mountain can be sold?" ”

Li Zheng was surprised, and Lei Biao was even more surprised, because Lin Xia didn't tell him about buying a mountain.

Li Zheng wondered if this Lin Xia was stupid, this mountain was mostly wild beasts, and it couldn't grow food, so it had no value at all, so why did he think of buying a mountain?

But he still replied with a good temperament, "There is nothing that cannot be bought, but it is more expensive, Qingyue Mountain is the largest mountain in our Qingxi Village, and it costs seven or eight hundred taels of silver, to say the least." ”

Lin Xia nodded, as if thinking about something, and then smiled, "I'm just asking." ”

Li Zheng glanced at Lin Xia, didn't say anything more, straightened his clothes, "Then we will go and draw the land now, and I will go to the county to get the land deed for you after it is over." ”

Lei Biao arched his hand and said, "There is Uncle Laurie." ”

Li Zheng took a helper to measure the ground with a measuring tool, inserted sticks around to make marks, and then tied a thread between the sticks and sticks. After marking the circle, Li Zheng hurried to the county to get the title deed.

When the deed was in hand, Lin Xia never put down his grin, and sighed, "I'm finally a little landlord!" "After counting the money in the small treasury, there are more than two hundred and eighty taels, which should be enough.

The golden rice was harvested by the people, and after the busy autumn harvest was over, he finally took a breath, and Li Zheng greeted several villagers in the adjacent fields, and quickly divided the fields, and the people in the village knew that Lei Biao's little couple had bought the land and were ready to build a new house.

And Lin Xia didn't care about these rumors at all, she was frowning and holding her chin to draw on the paper with a brush in distress, and she worked hard for three days and three nights, and finally painted her little world.

The small building is located in the middle of the homestead, the first floor is divided into living room, kitchen, guest room, bathroom, and the second floor is divided into bedrooms, study rooms and bathrooms. Thinking that it would be wet and cold in winter, I specially drew a small bedroom on the first floor and built a fire kang to penetrate the fire wall, so that I could sleep in a warm room in winter.

The first floor also draws a corridor through the back door, behind the door is to dig a pond and plant some lotus flowers, and then raise some small fish and shrimp, plant willow trees and bamboos next to the pond, and specially set aside a pavilion in the middle of the pond, put tables and chairs in it and hang white yarn, the breeze is gentle and cool in summer, and it is also very pleasant to think about.

In front of the house, a large piece of wasteland, Lin Xia has already thought of planting fruit trees, vegetables, and building a row of double-storey buildings next to it, specially for the next person to live in the house, in Lin Xia's words, it is a dormitory, a kitchen and bathroom are built next to the dormitory, and a stable is built not far away.

Such a perfect paradise has been built in this way!

However, they all need financial support.

Lei Biao also yearned for the picture drawn by Lin Xia, but said with a wry smile, "You will also have four or five hundred taels of silver if you say the least." ”

Lin Xia cried with a sad face, looking at the paradise he had drawn, he only felt sorry, and for now, he still asked someone to build a house first.

Lin Xia chose an auspicious day to set the time for breaking ground, and asked twenty-five helpers to notify them one by one. She specially inquired, the salary of the helper to build a house in the village is about 30 yuan a day, Lin Xia wanted to be a landlord wife who does not squeeze or exploit, so she opened a salary of 25 yuan, including a meal at noon, three dishes and one soup, two meat and one vegetable, and vegetarian soup.

When inviting people, they said these things clearly, and everyone was still a little unhappy when they heard it, these helpers are all from a village, and it stands to reason that they can eat three meals a day at home, but Lin Xia provided two meats and one vegetable and vegetarian soup, which was obviously much more hearty than what they usually ate, so they all agreed.

The people who were invited were very happy, and they would have a period of free time after planting wheat after the autumn harvest, so they would go to the county to find a job, and sometimes the wages were very unsatisfactory, and the boss squeezed them. Now there are people in the village who are invited, the wages are not bad, and they can eat meat at noon, and everyone is willing to come.

I hired the helpers who built the house, and hired five big men to help me plant wheat and corn, reclaim wasteland, transplant fruit trees, and plant vegetables. Fifteen cents a day, like the helpers, pack a meal at noon, and then eat with them.

Lin Xia thought that they all lived in the mountains, and it was inconvenient to walk up and down the mountain every day, and he also promised two meats, one vegetable and vegetarian soup at noon, so he rented a house near Jianfang, and the rent was twenty wen a day.

Before the day of building a new house, Lei Biao went up the mountain to hunt a lot of pheasants and hares, and had excellent luck to beat a pair of roe deer, both of which weighed 60 pounds. Lin Xia picked a lot of mushrooms, chestnuts and wild vegetables, and when she returned home, she was happy to see that the female rabbit in the rabbit nest was pregnant, although her body was exhausted, her mood was getting better and better day by day.

After packing up all these things, I transported all the meat and vegetables to the rented house, and then specially invited Aunt Zhang and another Aunt Guo with better skills to cook and help.
