In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

Ye Lingyao nodded.

The smile on Xi'er's face became even brighter, "I know, I know he went to the mountain."

Ye Lingyao was slightly surprised, "Does Xi'er know what he did in the mountains?"

Xi'er tilted her head, as if she didn't understand, but also seemed to be thinking.

It wasn't until Ye Lingyao thought he wouldn't answer that she said, "He is carrying a small backpack."

Ye Lingyao thought about it and probably guessed what he was doing there, it was just looking for food.

Ye Lingyao didn't ask any more questions. It was quite good for a child to know so much. If she asked any more questions, she wouldn't get any useful information.

Then he put the person on the ground, took out a piece of candy from his arms, and put it in her hand, "Thank you Xi'er for helping sister Yao. This candy is a thank you gift."

Xi'er didn't understand what a thank you gift meant, but she was very happy knowing that she had helped Sister Yao.

And she also likes sugar.

So he quietly put it in his little pocket, "Then I'll put it back and eat it with my brother."

Ye Lingyao's heart melted when she heard this.

The relationship between these two sisters is really good. Xi'er will think of his brother if he has any delicious food. The same goes for his brother. If he thinks of his sister in danger when he has delicious food, he will protect her in front of her.

Ye Lingyao touched her head again and left.

She had more important things to do today.

This was something she had thought about before going to bed last night. Now that she had settled down, she could no longer squeeze into this shabby house. She should have a place to live.

And the place to live should not be too shabby, otherwise, if the parents are found back, there will be no place for the whole family to live.

During this time, she had been crowded with others and had no private space at all. Let alone entering the space, it was not convenient for her to even get something from inside.

She hopes to have a small room of her own, her own private space.

If she wants to build a house, she needs a place. The village chief should probably know where to build the house.

So the first thing she did was go to the village chief to find out about building a house.

When she arrived at the door of the village chief's house, she stopped. The door was ajar. She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

After a while, a woman's question came from inside, "Who is it?"

Ye Lingyao heard that she was about 40 to [-] years old, so she asked, "Auntie, I settled here yesterday and came to see Village Chief Yang to ask something."

She waited outside for a while, and the door opened from the inside.

What came into view was a kind-hearted old woman.

In fact, he is not very old, he just looks a little vicissitudes of life.

"Hey, girl, come in quickly. Your village chief grandpa is at home. Why did you come here alone? Didn't you come with them?"

Ye Lingyao is still wondering, why come with them?

As a result, I met an acquaintance as soon as I entered the door.

But I didn't expect to meet Mr. Chen, Chen Daya's husband Cao Xinyuan, and Yang Orion here again.

After entering, everyone was a little stunned.

Mr. Chen asked with a smile, "Girl from the Ye family, why are you here? But what's the matter?"

Ye Lingyao smiled and nodded, "There is something wrong. I came to see Village Chief Yang. I want to ask about something."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, "Isn't this a coincidence?"

Ye Lingyao was also slightly startled, but she quickly came to her senses.

How could Mr. Chen and the others not think of the things she could think of?

They probably all came here for the purpose of building a house.

She didn't hide anything and said directly, "Village Chief Yang, I'm here to ask about building a house."

Village Chief Yang said cheerfully, "Tell me, you all have the same purpose, and you came in several batches?"

Everyone also laughed in agreement. Village Chief Yang shook off the pipe in his hand, and Guozi said, "Okay, since you are all here for this, let's go and have a look. I've just said what I need to say." That’s it, let’s introduce it to the girl on the way, and let’s go take a look at the place where the house is being built.”

With that said, everyone walked out, and Ye Lingyao followed behind, listening to what they said all the way.

Nothing else is important, it's still a matter of buying land.

Even if they are fleeing from famine, they still have to buy the land themselves if they want to use it.

Ye Lingyao didn't interrupt, and listened to them carefully talk about the places where houses could be built.

Many places in the village with better locations have been taken away. The best location right now is at the entrance of the village. Firstly, it has convenient transportation. Secondly, the environment is good. There are not so many people around and it is not noisy.

Ye Lingyao didn't think that was the case.

Although there are not many people around, it doesn't seem to be noisy, but if it is at the entrance of the village, everyone has to pass by this road, and everyone has to talk at the door, wouldn't it be more noisy?

Anyway, she first rejected this location at the entrance of the village, and then Cao Xinyuan was a little moved.

They don't have land now, so they still need to go out to work. If it's at the entrance of the village, it's easier to get in and out. Oxen carts will pass by the door, so they don't have to walk much.

Then I looked at a small house that was originally very dilapidated.

"A businessman came out of this family, and he took his only wife into the house. Now there is only a small house left, which is ready to be sold. This location is quite good. You can consider it. Just knock down the house and rebuild it. That’s it.”

Mr. Chen is very satisfied with this place.

Once here, the house is almost in the center of the village, making it more convenient to do whatever you want to do.

Secondly, it is safer. Now that they have just arrived, they don’t know the surrounding situation yet. It is best if there are more people living there, so that they will feel more at ease.

Village Chief Yang looked at everyone and asked, "Are you still satisfied with these two places? If you are satisfied, then make a decision. If you are not satisfied, I will take you to other places to have a look."

Ye Lingyao frowned, not satisfied with either place.

She looked up and looked around, and saw Ye Lingzhi walking towards them with a small backpack on his back.

Ye Lingyao was not in a hurry to deny it. After all, she still had a chance to take another look, so she was not in a hurry to make a conclusion so early.

Seeing him coming, she waved to him, "Ye Lingzhi, this way."

Ye Lingzhi originally wanted to go back to the small house first, put down his things, and then think about where to find a job.

As soon as he reached the center of the village, he saw Ye Lingyao waving to him.

A smile couldn't help but appear on his face, "Here he comes."

As he said that, he strode over.

After walking over, he asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
