Chapter 246: Buying a Homestead
In the blink of an eye, the snow began to melt, the temperature began to rise, and the breath of spring had arrived.
"Old woman, go and bring out two boxes of snacks, and bring out a five-pound piece of meat." The old man stood in the courtyard, looking at the snow that had melted so much that the earth could be seen in many places.
This year, the snow fell early, and it also fell heavily, and all the insects in the fields must have frozen to death. As long as the weather is good this year, the harvest will be very good.
"Old man, what are you doing with snacks and meat?" Zhou, who had just instructed his daughter-in-law to feed the chickens, asked strangely.
"The snow has melted, so it's early. Go to the village chief's house and buy the homestead where the workshop is to be built. "The old man is in a very good mood, and the whole person seems to be much younger. And we should buy this land before the spring is busy, and see if we can hurry up and repair it, so that it can be built in advance.
"It's right, it's right. Go get it now. ”
Zhou didn't object this time, and quickly brought things out. The old man didn't call his son, and went out alone with his things. He had already put the silver ticket on his body. The old man didn't meet anyone on the road, after all, the snow hadn't melted yet. This is when the road is at its slippery. Stepping on it is the easiest to slip and fall, and it is very dangerous. The average person doesn't go out at this time.
The distance between the village chief's house and Zhou's house is not short, and in modern terms, it is still a quarter of an hour's walk to walk. The old man carried things with big steps, but it didn't take long to arrive. Knocking on the door, the old man calculated in his heart how much silver he would spend to buy the homestead in a while.
As for the place to buy, the family had already discussed it at home, so the old man knew it.
After a while, the door opened from the room, and there stood a woman who seemed to be younger than the old man. , wearing sapphire blue clothes, and his hair is very neatly combed.
"Sister-in-law, is the village chief at home?" The old man asked. The woman in front of her was none other than the village chief's daughter-in-law.
"The Zhou family, the old man is here. Let's get inside. ”
"Sister-in-law, don't dislike this little thing, you accept it."
"Oh, come on, it's really good to bring something. Okay, I'm not polite to you, and when I go back later, I'll bring you some things from my sister-in-law's house. The village chief's daughter-in-law was not polite and accepted it directly. But it doesn't mean that the old man will bring back the gift after a while.
It's not the first time the old man has come to the village chief's house, so he knows him very well. It seems that in such weather, there is nothing to do every day, and it is very idle, so the village chief is also in the house. Seeing Old Man Zhou, he was also enthusiastic. After all, there are many people who speak, and the old man talks to the old man, so that's the right taste.
The two old men talk a lot together, and they are both old farmers who love to do farm work. Speaking of words, I am getting more and more in love. Of course, the old man came to his senses and did not forget what he said today. You want to buy land and build a house.
"Old man Zhou, do you want to buy a homestead to build a house? Your house isn't enough to live in? Your grandson hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, right? The village chief asked strangely, generally buy a homestead to build a house, that is because the family can not live in it, so they will buy land to build a new house. Of course, there is also a kind of separation, which is not willing to live in the original place and needs to buy a homestead. But in this case, the Zhou family obviously did not agree, first, did not hear a little wind. Second, the person who came to buy the homestead would definitely not be the old man of the Zhou family. It will definitely be one of his three sons.
