Chapter 42 Buying land and building houses
"Mother, you are to blame your sons, if it weren't for the sister-in-law who said that Shanxing had something to do yesterday for us to come today, my father would have arrived yesterday morning. When he went back and heard his sister-in-law talk about the situation here, he couldn't sit still, but today he called us all up before dawn to hurry," the third uncle replied wrongly
"Old woman, what do you say they are doing, there are only three children left here, can I not worry about it, come over early and have a look, I have a number in my heart, and I feel uneasy at home" Grandpa said
"Grandpa," Yama called out as he pulled one of his arms and reddened his eyes
It's a good feeling to be cared for,
"Grandpa, grandpa" Xiaoshan and Xiaozao also ran over and pulled Grandpa's other arm and called
Several people present couldn't help but have red eyes. If it weren't for the fact that this child's father and mother didn't get early, how could they suffer so much, and they were separated from each other at a young age, how could they not worry after they knew about it, no one in the Li family had a conscience, how could they treat a few such young children like this. When Li Dayin was alive, he didn't earn much money for their family.
"Okay, okay, there are grandparents here, there is nothing that can't be done, no one will dare to bully you in the future, our family has three uncles and five cousins, hmph, we are not afraid of them, we will support you, see if they dare to bully you in the future." Grandpa used to mistakenly believe them, they are just a bunch of wolves," Grandpa said with some anger.
"Okay, old man, I'll go to have breakfast with Shan Xing Zhang Luo, and you guys go and see the yard, they have been turning over for several days, but it's just a corner, you go and see," said my grandmother.
So, Xiao Zao went to feed the pair of chickens and ducks, Xiao Shan went to practice writing, the master took the farm tools he brought and went directly to the yard, and Shan Xing and his grandmother went to the stove.
Shan Xing first lived a piece of noodles, a pancake, the man worked hard, to be full, and then took out two stick bone stewed soup, fried a lung slice, a large intestine, two vegetables and one soup in the morning. It's all done with a lot of weight, and the grandmother who watched it said that it was enough.
Grandma gave Shan Xing a hand, she lit the fire, Shan Xing pancakes, and then stir-fried vegetables, watching Shan Xing skillfully do all this, Grandma felt uncomfortable, this child is in their Li family, this is how much cooking has been made, so that everything can be done.
In a quarter of an hour, Shan Xing made three dishes full of three dishes, a large pot of soup, and a large pot of white flour cakes. Shan Xing made a big pot, and the uncles were moved, this niece is a person who will hurt her uncle, she must be distressed that their family has a large population and is not rich, so give them food to make up for it
"Shan Xing is so powerful, she has made so many delicious things in such a while," the third uncle praised her
"Yes, Shan Xing, you are the same year as your cousin. In addition to being a female worker, she can't go to the kitchen, or you are amazing," the second uncle also said
"Shan Xing will definitely be a promising person in the future, so capable, we can rest assured," the uncle said
"Okay, let's eat it all and get down to business when we're done," said my grandfather
When everyone finished eating, they knew that the meat they just ate was actually a pig in the water, and the master was surprised that he admired, this foreign girl was young, but she had the ability, so many years none of them could put the stinky water that everyone didn't want, and it was so delicious. They have eaten up all the food on the table.
After breakfast, Shan Xing asked Xiaoshan to take a piece of meat she cut off and send Xiaozao to Zhang's sister-in-law's house to learn female workers, because of what happened at home in the past two days, it was delayed to go
Shan Xing looked at it as if it was just a burst of work in the morning, and his grandfather and uncles turned over all the soil in the yard. I can't help but sigh in my heart, I still have the strength to work.
I was so happy to see my grandfather and them make the yard into ridges, straight one by one. The seeds in the bowl are about to germinate, and he will be able to plant them in a few days, full of anticipation, and silently calculates in his heart, this ridge is planted with peppers, and this ridge is planted with tomatoes,......
Grandma was sitting on a small stool at the door, doing needlework, and Shan Xing suddenly had the happiness she wanted, and it was good to have relatives by her side.
After the grandfather and the others finished the ridges, Shan Xing quickly poured tea for the uncles, and then discussed with them about building a house.
"Grandpa, I want to cover it a little bigger, in the future, Xiaoshan may take the road of the imperial examination, and I want to give him a rich backing. If the conditions are right, I will buy a few people in the future. I also want to buy all the vacant land around here. Let's see if you can do it," Shan Xing asked
Grandpa and a few uncles who drank water were almost choked by her words, this child, still young, has just eaten a full meal, and now he is thinking about how much it will cost to buy someone.
"Shan Xing, you have a big house, you plan to build a few rooms, there are only three of you in the house, I think it is enough to build three rooms, where do we countrymen use to invite people, you kid must not talk nonsense and make people laugh" Grandma said
"I want to build a three-entry house, and I have to build a two-way house at the very least, and I will talk about it later, and now we will discuss the matter of building a house, grandfather, uncles, do you think we have enough money to build this house, how much silver will we get" Shan Xing asked again
My grandfather and a few uncles were also very surprised, I didn't expect this little girl to open her mouth to build a big house with three rooms, don't we all have five rooms and three rooms in the countryside, let alone invite people. After all, the eldest uncle had a lot of contact with the house, and after thinking about it, he said, "A three-entry house has at least three hundred taels, and if it is just an ordinary five-room house, one hundred taels is enough."
"Your old house is definitely not big enough, this place is relatively wide, you can move it back, put this old house in the yard, and then tear it down when the new house is built, so that you still have a place to rest and a place to cook." The third uncle said
"I just don't know, is the land here easy to buy," the second uncle asked worriedly
"It shouldn't be difficult, there is nothing but water and bamboo forests here, what is the value. Later, you can ask the village chief," said my grandfather
"That's not in a hurry, we called the village chief at noon, and had dinner with my grandfather, and it's not too late to ask again, let's plan it in detail first, how to lay out here," Shan Xing said
So, my grandfather took his three sons and a granddaughter around the old house, walked around, measured the size, and finally finalized the location of the new house and the overall layout
Then everyone did it together again, and studied where to find a craftsman, of course, the eldest uncle is a carpenter, and he must be present, so he will hand it over to him to find a craftsman, and although the second uncle has no skills, he has strength. The third uncle said that he knew many bosses in the town, and the purchase of the house was handed over to him. So the problem was largely solved
At noon, Shan Xing asked Xiaoshan to invite the village chief to dinner, and Shan Xing made five dishes, a soup, and white rice, and asked Xiaoshan to fetch some wine, so that all four men could drink some.
At the dinner table, my grandfather asked about the surrounding land, and the village chief said that because it was sandy land, no food was needed, so no one wanted to buy it at all, and persuaded Shanxing not to buy it, but to buy some good land, and not to waste the silver. As soon as the apricot heard the music, no one bought it, so she bought it all, and the rest of the sandy land apricot planned to grow watermelon melon and peanuts. No one else uses it, but she uses this just right
"Village chief, I don't know how to sell this sandy land," Shan Xing asked
"Our fertile land is eight taels of silver per acre, and the soil quality is slightly worse than five taels of silver per acre, and sandy land like this is only three taels of silver per acre, if you want all around here for two taels of silver, you can buy it," replied the village chief
"Village Chief, can you bring in that bamboo forest and spring?"
Yama asked
"Shan Xing, it's not me saying you, what's the use of what you want, this bamboo forest has been here for many years, even if you don't buy it, it can't run away, you can use it as you like." But if you have to buy it, I can call the shots, and ten taels of silver will be transferred in," said the village chief
When Shanshan Xing heard this, he hurriedly poured a glass of wine for the village chief, and said, "Thank you so much to the village chief, I like to have mountains and rivers, as well as bamboo, how comfortable it is to enjoy the cool in summer, then I will want it, then please help the village chief measure how much land there is around me, I want it."
Although the village chief was a little surprised when he heard this, he was also expected, he knew that this child was a promising person, and this village could not trap her. "Okay, I'll find someone to pull the ground later, and I'll go through the formalities for you tomorrow."
In this way, with the help of her grandfather and several uncles, Shanxing cooperated with the village chief to measure the surrounding land, a total of fifty-three acres, and Shanxing gave the village chief one hundred and fifty taels. Please ask him to go through the formalities, and the name of the hill should be written on the land.
