Old man Xiang thought very thoughtfully, Grandma Xiang held Fubao and looked at the gate of the courtyard from time to time, but the time for lunch passed early, why didn't I see the father and son come back.

Fugui didn't go to chop wood anymore, he decided that his father and younger brother would not come back in another hour, so he would go to the county to see.

Fu Bao originally wanted to close her eyes and sleep, you must know that her sleep is different from the sleep of other children, it seems to be sleeping, but in fact she is cultivating, absorbing the aura that can be absorbed between heaven and earth, in order to strengthen her own spirit.

But seeing that the family is so concerned about grandpa and uncle, they can't help but exude spiritual power, trees and grass roots are not only on the mountains, but also in the village, county, and everywhere on the road.

Underground, trees and grass roots began to crisscross and exchange information, all the way to the county, and soon, the trees and grass roots near the county office also got the news.

Fu Bao closed his eyes, and his mind received the information from the trees, auspicious drums and grievances, the county magistrate returned the silver, the two thieves were beaten to death, and the toe hunting was arrogant.

Then there is the appearance of his grandfather and uncle groveling to the shopkeeper, the appearance of standing anxiously waiting in front of the mansion, the appearance of auspicious regret kneeling, and the appearance of father and son rushing home.

Fu Bao exhaled, used too much mental power, his brain was dizzy, and he insisted on saying two words to Grandma Xiang before he fell into a coma: "Back." ”

Grandma Xiang was still looking out, and suddenly heard what Fu Bao said, her heart couldn't help relaxing, and she gently kissed Fu Bao's cheek, so that Fugui didn't have to go, they were about to come back.

Fugui was a little suspicious at first, but when his eyes fell on Fu Bao, who was already asleep, his heart also settled: "Mother, Fu Bao is asleep, I will take her to the house to sleep." ”

Grandma Xiang nodded, and handed Fu Bao to Fugui lightly, it was windy outside, although Fu Bao was wrapped in a small quilt, but sleeping on the kang was definitely more comfortable than outside.

"Ping'an's family, let's cook dumplings and eat them today, your father-in-law and Jixiang should be back soon." Grandma Xiang walked into the kitchen and bought pork today, and the amount was not much, so she made dumplings to eat.

When the sister-in-law heard this, she slowly put down her heart, and hurriedly scooped out two spoonfuls of white flour from the jar, thought about it, added half a spoonful of cornmeal, and began to mix noodles.

Grandma Xiang washed the pork, then peeled it, cut it into small pieces, slowly chopped it with a knife, and washed the wild vegetables dug by the children, and chopped it with a knife, stirring it in the meat.

The dumplings were almost wrapped, and the old man and Jixiang also entered the courtyard door, and the children came to the hall happily when they saw that their grandfather and uncle had finally returned.

"If you're hungry, eat two bites of dumplings first."

Grandma Xiang didn't ask the reason at all, but asked the sister-in-law to make two bowls of dumplings first, nothing is more important than having a full meal.

The children also washed their hands, helping the people who took the dishes and chopsticks to take the chopsticks, and the old man Xiang looked around and asked, "Where is Fubao?" ”

Fugui hurriedly whispered in the old man's ear: "Fubao is asleep, originally I wanted to go to the county to find you, but Fubao said that you are back, and my mother let me cook dumplings." ”

Old Man Xiang nodded, saw the dumplings on the table, and hurriedly ate them, he was really worried and scared for a long morning, and after running so many roads, he was hungry.

Seeing that Jixiang was still standing at the door, he couldn't help but scold angrily: "What are you doing at the door, don't come in to eat dumplings." ”

Jixiang hurriedly ran in, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms, and the silver given to him by the county magistrate: "Dad, you keep these." ”

When the old man Xiang saw the silver ticket of one hundred taels, he couldn't help but be stunned, where did this come from, Ji Xiang stammered and said what the head catcher had done, and the old man Xiang was so frightened that he gasped.

"Jixiang, have you ever been beaten?" Grandma Xiang asked nervously.

"It's just that I've been kicked a few times, and it's out of the way." Jixiang said with a smile.

"Then how do you go about beating the drums?" Old Man Xiang didn't understand that Jixiang was not imprisoned, why did he come out to beat the drum and voice his grievances.

"It's this county lord, let the head catcher take me and the master to the warm pavilion, it was at this time that the head catcher gave me a hundred taels of silver tickets, I don't think it's good, so I took it." Jixiang said.

Old Man Xiang put down the chopsticks in his hand, he was originally very hungry and suddenly felt that he couldn't eat, and remembered the words of the shopkeeper of Hanzhuang in his mind, "If it weren't for the help of nobles......

"Jixiang, suffer a loss and grow wise, since you don't want to go to a private school, just do carpenter work at home, say three hundred and sixty lines, and the line will be the champion." Old Man Xiang took out the pole of the cigarette pouch and smoked it slowly.

Now that the family has money, and the two grandchildren will be able to go to private school in February next year, it is time to buy land and build a house, but now is definitely not a good time to mention this.

The family in the village has run out of food because they can't pay the taxes, and they live by digging wild vegetables every day, and the big family in the east has also been dragged away by four adult men because they can't pay the levy tax.

If your family rushes to buy land and build a house now, it won't be a proper hatred, and this kind of stupid thing will never be done by the old man Xiang.

But my house is really hard to describe, if this year's snow is a little heavier, a little longer, it is estimated that it will not be able to withstand and collapse.

Old Man Xiang's brain was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly had an idea, that is, to go to the county to buy a house, safe in the county, and the two children will also go to the county to study after the New Year, so it is also necessary to buy a house in the county.

"Wealth, auspiciousness, fragrant beginning, you eat quickly."

The spirit of the old man Xiang came, beckoned the children to eat, walked to the yard by himself, looked up at his house, and then walked out of the yard and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

If the house collapses this winter, he will go to Li Zheng to discuss with the village chief to exchange this land for the land at the foot of the mountain, so that building a house will not only not attract jealousy, but also make people think that there is no way for his family.

The old man walked to the back mountain and observed carefully, this place is too close to the mountain, once there is anything to escape, it is too late to escape, and it is too close to the villagers, and it is not convenient for Fubao to do anything in the future.

Walking around, I don't know how much time I walked, I felt that the sky was darkening, and I couldn't find a good place, forget it, let's hold Fubao tomorrow, let her choose the most correct.

The old man walked to his house with his hands behind his back, and when he met the villagers who were collecting firewood and digging wild vegetables, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he could dig more wild vegetables.

Grandma Xiang has already picked up needles and threads in the house, the first one is to make cotton clothes and pants for Fubao, and the quilt is also small, so she has to make a new one.
