Chapter 9: Pheasant?
But there are other things to think about besides being happy, the first is the house. Although the people in Qingshui Village agreed to let them settle down, there was no good place to build a house in the village. After discussing for a while, the adults finally unanimously decided to build the house at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village. Built here, not only the people of Qingshui Village can rest assured, but they can also take care of their in-laws who live alone on the mountain.
However, Wushan said that he was only living here temporarily, and he had no fixed place to run around, and he would not live on the mountain all year round. This year, it's just because it's not peaceful, and I just happened to live here for a few months.
Ning Ning suddenly raised her little face, full of reluctance.
"Grandpa, don't you live here?"
“…… Does Ning Ning want her grandfather to live in the mountains? ”
Ning Ning wrinkled her little nose and shook her head unexpectedly. The adults around were interested, smiling at the little guy, wondering what she was going to say.
As a result, the next moment, Ning Ning crossed his fingers and counted the heads of his family for Wushan seriously.
"Ning Ning misses grandpa and grandparents, father, mother, eldest brother and second sister...... Live together. ”
Wu Shan subconsciously wanted to laugh, but suddenly remembered that there were many people watching here, so he immediately took it back, still with that cold expression, but his voice was uncontrollably soft.
"Ning Ning wants to live with grandpa?"
You Sifang on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard his father-in-law's voice, but he had already put away his shocked expression before Wu Shan looked at it.
And Ning Ning didn't notice everyone's strangeness, she just nodded very seriously. In her immature world, aren't all relatives supposed to live together?
Wu Shan couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still held back, gently rubbed the child's head, and nodded under the nervous gaze of Wu An and others.
"Since Ning Ning likes it, then grandpa will continue to live in the mountains. As long as Ning Ning is free, she can come to play with her grandfather. ”
Although they can't live together, Ning Ning compared the distance up and down the mountain, it doesn't seem to be very far? So I was happy.
You Quartet breathed a sigh of relief. The wife has never said it before, but now that the father and daughter are together, the wife must want to continue to get along with her father, and it is a good thing to be close to each other. He was sincerely happy for his wife.
In the middle of the afternoon, Li Zheng came again and marked the ground for them. The location at the end of the village is close to the mountain, and sometimes there will be wild things rushing down, so this lot is really not very valuable, even so, their bustling yard where a large family wants to live adds up to ten taels of land deeds.
This is still the lowest price given in Wushan's face.
It's just that the You family has been on the road to escape for more than two years, and at the beginning of the escape, You Laohan exchanged most of the family's money for food.
“…… I still have to make money. ”
You Laohan subconsciously took out an oily black smoke gun from his arms and knocked it on the table in front of him, but nothing came out.
Li Zheng also came out of the hard days, so he naturally knew that a few taels of silver was a large expense for ordinary farmers, not to mention a large family that survived on the way to escape the famine? If he is alone, he will be spared. But as Lizheng, so many villagers trust him and rely on him, he can't act recklessly, so he can only strive for the lowest price.
At this time, he hurriedly said the deadline.
"Don't worry, just pay back the money around the Chinese New Year next year."
The You family breathed a sigh of relief, and was very grateful to pull Li Zheng to talk about homely things for a while. After sending Li Zheng away, the adults of the You family couldn't help but frown. They are all authentic peasant families, so many people need to eat and drink, and how many harvests can they have in a year? What's more, they don't have land at all now, and buying land is a big expense, not to mention that it's still winter, and they don't even have to dig wild vegetables, and even eating and drinking are problems. They can't rely on their in-laws, can they? How humiliating is that?
Boss You slapped his thigh hard.
"Daddy! Why don't I go and be a servant for others? I inquired just now, and there are also a few big families in the town thirty miles away from here......"
"Okay, shut up. How old are your kids?! How could people be willing to ask for a guy of such an age? And you think the little guy is so easy to be? There is no way to enter at all, and besides, you have to sign a deed to be a small servant, and from now on, freedom will not be up to anyone! ”
You Sifang went out with a caravan when he was young, and it was because of this that he met Wu An, so he has a deep understanding of the outside world. At this time, he directly denied the boss's suggestion. It's not that he said, some big families don't treat their subordinates as people! With the boss's simple temper, how can he stay?
The adults are so worried, in fact, the children are not heartless, and they noticed that the atmosphere at home was not very good, none of the dolls spoke, just listened quietly, and even the youngest Ning Ning couldn't help but hold up her chin and listen hard. It's just that You Laohan looked at the children with a little panic in his eyes, and couldn't bear that they were worried about their livelihood at a young age, so with a wave of his hand, he asked You Lao Liu to take the children out to play.
You Lao Liu was reluctant, but as soon as Ning Ning stretched out his hand, he immediately hugged her with a smile and led a group of children out.
Grandpa said that he was just staying on this mountain temporarily, and he really didn't lie, after leaving the courtyard of Wushan, there were fewer and fewer traces of pedestrians, the leaves of many trees were dry, and occasionally a few green pines were still standing, and they were also very tall.
Ning Ning was held by the sixth brother, looking at the six roads with his eyes and ears, and feeling strange about everything around him. After a while, I asked myself to come down and walk. For more than two years, I often stay in the back basket, and I always feel that I can't run fast. You Lao Liu was originally reluctant, but he quickly gave up his principles to Shang Ningning's black grape-like eyes.
Ning Ning was down-to-earth, she felt very novel, and tried to walk a few steps, but the uneven mountain road made her a little staggering, and immediately grabbed the sixth brother's pants.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
Well? What was that? Ning Ning seemed to hear something, she immediately looked at the sixth brother and them, but everyone didn't seem to hear this voice, and behaved normally. Ning Ning wanted to ignore it, but the cooing sound sounded again, and it seemed to be closer. Does this sound sound like a chicken?
Ning Ning still remembers that when she was in her hometown, she had a group of majestic chickens at home, and sometimes she could eat a steamed egg. You can also eat chicken during the New Year!
