Chapter 89 Buying land
The smile on Mr. Zhao's face never stopped.
"A great thing, a great thing!"
"Miss Qin San is a good person!"
The more Mr. Zhao praised Zhao Changan, the more anxious he became.
"What's going on?"
"Grandpa, don't just praise me, tell us about it first."
Only then did Mr. Zhao talk about what the great thing was.
"Miss Qin San is willing to open a branch in our Jiangcheng County."
"We will harvest our pears and Kapok Village's fruits! Let us just plant them."
"When the shop is built, a manager will come to the village to negotiate the price with us."
"Also, Miss Qin San knows that our village has experienced flash floods, and many families still live in shacks."
"Winter is coming soon. I'm afraid we won't survive it, so I donated eighty taels of silver to build a house for us!"
Wu Yang said at this time, "Not only our village, but also other severely damaged villages in Jiangcheng County, Miss Qin San has donated money."
Zhao Changan sighed: "What a good man!"
"Miss Qin San is so rich! She has a kind heart!"
Wu Yang said with a smile, "Miss Qin San has now become a legend in the capital."
"I am only fourteen years old this year, and I haven't even got haircut yet."
"I have never been out of the house before. I heard that I hurt my head when I was young. The prime minister's wife protected her closely and didn't let outsiders see her."
"When I was twelve years old, I accidentally fell into the water again. After I was rescued, everything was normal. She is a little girl with many ideas. She always has many novel ideas."
"On the other hand, the eldest lady in the family has become famous early and is known as the pearl of the capital. She has become a poem in three steps and is unparalleled in beauty."
"The eldest young lady and the third young lady were born from the same mother, and now they are both the twins of the capital."
Lu Ming listened, why did Miss Qin San’s experience look so like time travel?
Yeah?
Could it be a fellow countryman!
Li Xiuxiu was heartbroken as she listened, "Miss Third has had a rough life, but she is still such a kind-hearted person."
"She's still a little girl."
Wu Yang: "She's fine, she's quirky. Everyone in the capital knows that the third young lady is the treasure of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one is allowed to bully her."
Lu Ming wondered if the plot was similar to a time travel novel he had read before. Could it be that he had traveled through time?
There are still many people in Lihua Village who have not built houses. In the afternoon, the village chief held a village meeting and told the villagers about this matter.
Now the whole village is happy!
The money is used to build houses, and there has been a quarrel for a long time about how to distribute the money.
Eighty taels of silver, plus the previous fine from the Ma family.
Ten taels of silver were left to build the village temple, and the rest was divided.
The Zhao family already had money to build a house, so they offered not to take a share.
Others, led by the Ma family, who were already building houses, were not convinced that everyone should have a share and divide it equally.
The village held a village meeting for two consecutive days, and finally it was decided that each family should share the money.
But families who don’t have the money to build a house will get more points. At least they have to keep enough money to build a house.
With the money in hand, the sweet pears in Lihua Village can also be sold.
In the next month, Lihua Village was either hiring people to build houses or planting pear trees.
Winter has come, and it is really cold in the shed, so we have to burn firewood to keep warm at night.
At the beginning of the winter month, the temperature drops sharply. At this time in previous years, it would snow in the middle of the winter month.
Lihua Village has lost its previous dullness, houses are being built, and there is hope for life.
I have already started to go to the county to buy new year's goods.
The Zhao family's house is just missing the last few pieces of furniture.
The children wake up every day and go to the newly built house
I ran and asked every day when I could live in a new house.
I just had lunch, and the new batch of New Year’s goods I bought in the morning haven’t been put in the warehouse yet.
Zhao Changfu saw his father and two uncles leaving and quickly followed them.
"I'm going to help too!"
Zhao Laoer turned around and patted Zhao Changfu on the shoulder, "Okay, you have to work hard!"
Zhao Changfu patted his chest, "Of course!"
As soon as I reached the door, I almost bumped into the village chief who wanted to come in.
Zhao Laosan took a step back, "Village chief? Didn't he hit you?"
The village chief was also shocked, "It's okay, it's okay."
"Are your parents here?"
Zhao Laosan made way to let the village chief enter.
"Yes, my whole family is here."
Mr. Zhao was making tea when he saw the village chief coming and asked quickly.
"Village Chief, what's the matter?"
The village chief came in with a smile, "The land at the east end of the village used to be Sun's family, and there is also the wasteland connected to his house."
"Recently, all the pear trees have been cleared."
"The Sun family has been driven out of the village. His family's land is not large, but it is connected to more than ten acres of wasteland."
"Your land is sold out, do you want to buy it?"
"Every household now grows pear trees, but your family has no land. I'm always thinking about this."
"It just so happens that this land is vacant. Before I tell anyone else, let me ask about your home first."
Mr. Zhao looked at Mrs. Zhao. All the money was in the hands of the old woman. Of course, the old woman had the final say.
Mrs. Zhao didn't hesitate at all, "Buy! I was thinking about buying land, and I gave her a pillow when I fell asleep."
The village chief also wanted to get this matter done as soon as possible, lest other families notice and worry about it.
The land at the east end of the village is the most fertile land in Lihua Village and the most sought-after.
"Okay, take the money and follow me."
At home
There was no shortage of money. Mrs. Zhao took the money bag and said, "Boss, second brother, you come with me."
Zhao Laosan also wanted to see it, "Mom, I want to go too."
Mrs. Zhao still wants to leave someone to look after the house. There are too many things in the shed, so she has to be careful.
Since Zhao Laosan has taken the initiative, let’s go together.
"Okay, the third child can come too."
In just a few words, the matter of buying land was decided.
Zhao Changan scratched his head, "Grandpa, don't we need to plant pear trees?"
Li Xiuxiu was in a good mood, "It's great. You can also grow some vegetables without having to go out to buy them every time."
Li Yuebai looked at her white and tender hands. She was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family before she left the palace. It could be said that Li Yuebai's hands were clean and she had never done any dirty work since she got married.
She is already a mother of two children, but Li Yuebai's hands are still as white as jade.
Li Yuebai, who had never farmed before, was worried that he would be held back.
He Sutong looked at Li Yuebai looking at his hands with a frown, and knew what the third brother and sister were worried about.
She liked her third younger brother and sister very much. When she first got married, she was worried that the eldest daughter from a wealthy family would be coquettish and difficult to get along with.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuebai was a coquettish person with no squeamish temper at all. He didn't know how to do anything when he first came here. He followed He Sutong and Li Xiuxiu all day long and learned from them.
It was a trivial job in itself. Li Yuebai was too delicate and young to let her do it, so she found work by herself.
"Third brother and sister, don't worry, you don't need to wield the hoe yet."
Li Yuebai smiled helplessly, "Sister-in-law, then I have to do some work."
Li Xiuxiu held Li Yuebai's arm and said, "Don't worry, third brother and sister, just follow me and my sister-in-law to pick vegetables."
That's it. "
When the Zhao family had land before, He Sutong and Li Xiuxiu were not allowed to farm it.
The two of them just picked vegetables and fruits, and all other menial tasks were taken care of by the men.
Even if I want to help with some work, the men will push me back. I was a little embarrassed at first. Which family's daughter-in-law doesn't have to farm?
Later, Mrs. Zhao also persuaded them several times. Marrying a wife is not something you get back to work.
After a while, Mrs. Zhao came back with the land deed happily.
"Come on, let's go see our land together!"
