Chapter 32: It's done
"Uncle Village Chief, what's going on?"
Su Lao Er couldn't wait, so he asked again, and the village chief came back to his senses after hearing it.
couldn't help but glared at Su Lao Er, "You kid, you hide deep enough!" ”
Su Lao Er was stupid, "I didn't make some money by buying and selling chicken seedlings before, uncle, you also know that when you go out, your wealth is not exposed." ”
Village Chief Yu didn't believe it, just because the Su family had just come to that humble state, saying that his family had a hundred taels of silver, who in the village believed it? Now he could not believe it, and a hundred taels of silver were placed on the table in front of him.
"I'll do it for you at one time today, the thatched hut where your family lives now belongs to the village, and the price is two taels and one mu, I asked the boss to take two boys to measure it and see how much."
"As for the fields, there are now eighteen acres of land in the village that have no owner, and I will take you to see which one you like."
"Then I'll be bothered by the village chief."
The ownerless eighteen acres of land in the village, like the thatched hut where the Su family lives now, are all left over from the family, some of them were bought by the villagers in the village, and now there are only these eighteen acres left, which are usually planted for the people in the village who have few difficult fields, and wait for the grain to be harvested and planted, and keep half of the people, and the remaining half will be handed over to the village, and the village will store these grains, sometimes to help the people in the village who are really in difficulty, and the rest will be saved.
Next to the village Zongzi, there is a room dedicated to grain, and there are thousands of catties of grain stored in the past ten years, and these grains must be replaced with new grain every year, so as not to mold the grain over time.
I have to say that the ancestor of the Yu family was very prescient.
Su Lao Er wanted to buy the land, and the village chief Yu first thought of the eighteen acres, and if the field was sold, the villagers would not have any objections, because the silver obtained from the sale of the field would be spent on the village ethnology, and most of the families in the village had children studying in the clan, and those who did not have it did not mean that they would not have it in the future, and they would not easily talk about the ethnology.
The two groups of people acted separately, and when they were busy with Qing, it was already noon, Su Lao Er had a hasty lunch at the village chief's house, and then Yu Lao Da drove the family ox cart to the county office, and when the three of them arrived at the county government office in Qinghe County, it was already an hour later.
When the little official saw that there were still people to do things at this point, his face fell, but when the village chief said that he was going to settle down today, buy land and buy land, the expression of the little official was the same as just now.
The Su family bought a total of eight acres of land, the field is medium, one acre of five taels is forty taels of silver, five acres and a half of wasteland is eleven taels, plus a family of four settled in the silver four taels, the government can get seven or eight taels of silver, and the little official can also get half a penny of silver, which is higher than his salary in the yamen for a month, how can he not be happy, thinking that it is good that he is in office today, otherwise such a good errand will not be his turn.
When he passed by the street on his way back, Su Lao Er bought some cooked food, and by the time the ox cart arrived at the village chief's house, it was already dark. Su Lao Er left a bag of cooked food for himself, and gave the rest of the packs to Yu Laoda, and took out two taels of silver from his arms and handed them to the village chief.
"What are you doing! I'll keep the things, and you can take the money back. ”
"Uncle Village Chief, you and Brother Yu have helped me a lot, this silver is what I should give, you must accept it, otherwise I won't be able to ask you for help next time."
No matter what Su Lao Er said, the village chief, father and son, just didn't pick up, Su Lao Er was in a hurry, put the silver on the ox cart, and ran away, no matter how the two shouted in the back, they couldn't shout.
After running for a while, seeing that no one was chasing him, Su Lao Er slowed down and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, who would have thought that giving him silver would give him a sweat.
When they got home, the family of three sat in the courtyard and waited for a while, and they all looked at the movement at the door.
When Su Lao Er saw this posture, he didn't let the three of them worry.
"Everything has been done, this is the land deed and the land deed, as well as our family's household registration, and now it has been changed to Yujia Village, and we will be from Yujia Village in the future."
The three of them were very happy to look at the things in Su Lao's second-hand, when the household registration was not settled, they always felt that people were floating, and now the household registration has been settled, and their hearts have been steady.
"I also bought a piece of braised pork in the county seat, let's go, let's go eat first."
"The boss is right, let's eat first, and then talk about what we eat."
The family of four happily ate, and now no one can sleep, so they simply sit in the courtyard and chat, one of them holds a big bamboo leaf fan in his hand, this fan is still made by Su Lao Er in his spare time, not to mention that it is quite easy to use.
"Dad, should I send my brother to study, most of the children in Yujia Village go to the clan school to study, my brother should also go, not to mention that he will be famous in the future, but he has to recognize all the words, in the future, our family's business will get bigger and bigger, there must always be someone who can read, and my brother will go to study in the school, and he can teach me when he comes back."
If it weren't for the fact that the clan school didn't accept female students, Su Yu would want to be on his own, and he knew that it was impossible.
Let Su Sheng go to study, the husband and wife really didn't think about this, they didn't have that opportunity before, but now Su Sheng is old, he will be fifteen years old, and he will get married early in the village, and he should marry his daughter-in-law in a year or two. But think about what the girl said is right, Brother Sheng can't learn anything if he is so old, but he can recognize some words, and he can teach his daughter when he comes back.
"Brother Sheng, what do you think yourself?"
Su Lao Er turned his head and asked his son who was sitting on the side.
Su Sheng was still in a state of confusion, going to study, when he was very young, he also envied others to study, he knew that he didn't have that opportunity, and his envy and envy faded, especially after the age of ten, he never thought about studying again. Who would have thought that now that the opportunity was in front of him, did he really want to go to school? Even Su Sheng is not sure about this now.
"Listen to your sister, I'll go to Yu Xiucai tomorrow and see if he accepts you or not."
Su Sheng's lips moved twice and he didn't speak, but it didn't matter if he opened his mouth or not, his father had already set it for him.
Early the next morning, Su Lao Er really went to the clan school to find Yu Xiucai, and said that he wanted his son to come to the clan school to study.
"If I'm not mistaken, your son should be fifteen years old, has he ever studied before?"
"No, my son doesn't know a single word."
"Why are you thinking about letting him go to school now, will he be a little older?"
"Mr. Yu didn't know, I didn't have a few students in the village before, or I had to walk more than ten miles to the town, or I went to Gaojia Village, which is separated by two villages, and I didn't worry about my son going alone, and no one could send him at home, so I also rested that thought, didn't I move here, and the ethnography was close, I just wanted to let my kid learn a few words, and I didn't have any other requirements.
Su Yu was going to stare at her when she heard this, if she didn't say it, her father would remember it.
