Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

On this trip to the Lu family, they spent fifty-three taels to buy the land, paid another thirty-two taels for the red deed at the government office, gave Uncle Quan two taels of silver as an introduction fee, and paid sixty taels for hiring a carriage, all counted. , it actually cost nearly sixty taels of silver.

After buying the fields, they went to the vegetable market, cut a few cuts of pork, bought some food, and hurried home.

When they went back, they missed the ox cart going back to the village. In addition, Father Lu spent nearly sixty taels of silver today and refused to hire another cart, so the few of them had to walk back.

When they got home, Mrs. He was standing at the door looking around. She saw them coming back from a distance and hurriedly greeted them.

"How is his father?" He asked.

When Mr. Lu saw his wife, he couldn't hide the smile on his face: "It happened that the shopkeeper Wang of the embroidery shop knew this man. I went to see the land today and thought it was good, so I bought ten acres."

"Ten acres? That much?" He was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

I originally thought that I could only buy seven or eight acres of medium-sized farmland at most, but I didn't expect that I bought ten acres at once.

"Yes, they are all connected together. The location is good. It's right in Xipogou. Let's go take a look this afternoon."

Gu Yunxi took out the red deed from his arms and handed it to Mr. He. He was illiterate, but looking at the red government seal on it, he knew it was the red deed. He couldn't even close his mouth with a smile.

After dinner, Mr. He and Father Lu carried a knife of pork and a basket of eggs and went to the village chief's house.

If a family wants to buy land to build a house, they must first inform the village chief. Moreover, obtaining land deeds will inevitably trouble the village chief.

The village chief's wife happened to be at home. When she saw Father Lu and his wife, she greeted them warmly: "Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here? Come in and sit down."

"Brothers and sisters, is Lihua at home? We have something to do with him." He said with a smile and handed over the basket in his hand.

The village chief's wife waved her hands repeatedly, pretending to be angry and said: "Sister-in-law, you can come as soon as you come, why are you bringing things? We are all members of our own family, so we are not so polite."

Mrs. He smiled, stuffed it into her hand, and said, "Brother and sister, today I got some money from selling my wife. This is just a small token of appreciation, so don't shirk it."

When the words came to this, the village chief's wife had no choice but to accept it, and went into the house again to call the village chief out.

"Brother, why are you here?" Village chief Lu Lihua and Father Lu are from the same clan and are of the same generation. Father Lu is older.

Father Lu smiled, sat down, and got straight to the point: "That's right, didn't my family sell some money yesterday? With some money, our family wants to buy a piece of land and build a house in the village."

"As you know, the mud walls where our family lives now are cracked. I don't know if they can survive this winter."

This is true, but nowadays, building a house with mud walls costs at least six or seven taels of silver including labor. How can the Lu family's seller get so much money?

"How big do you want to build it?" the village chief asked.

"There is about half an acre of land behind your house, next to your vegetable garden."

Before Mr. Lu and Mr. He came here, he had discussed it with his family members. He still had forty taels from selling his son yesterday, plus the money from selling fancy goods these days, which was nearly fifty taels, so he could build a brick house. Just enough.

Half an acre of land is almost enough. Father Lu thought for a while and said, "That's enough."

"As for that piece of land, the price is three taels of silver. I'll go to the government office tomorrow to get the title deed for you."

Father Lu asked He to take out three taels of silver, and then gave him another half a pound. Silver is also required to apply for the land deed.

"When are you going to start building a house? I guess if things go well tomorrow, we can get the land deed." The village chief put the money in his pocket and asked.

Father Lu smiled and said, "Of course, the sooner the better. If the land deed can be processed tomorrow, I will go to the town to hire someone to build a house later."

The village chief was a little confused when he heard what Father Lu said. He went to the town to hire someone to build a house?

Normally when villagers build mud houses, they make mud bricks and walls themselves, and rarely ask for help. If they do, it is enough to ask people from the village.

"That's right, we plan to build a brick house." Father Lu looked at the village chief's doubtful eyes and said quickly.

The village chief was shocked and curious at the same time. What was shocking was that their house was going to be built with blue bricks and tiles? What I'm curious about is how much money did their recipe cost?

You know, within a radius of ten miles, only landlords can afford to live in blue brick houses. Even the village chief himself lives in an ordinary brick house.

"People in the village have no experience in building brick houses, so I thought of going to the town to find familiar masters. As for the laborers, I would just find a few in our village." Father Lu continued to explain.

"Well, that's alright. I'll ask ** Yuancheng and his two to go over and help later." The village chief said.

It was decided when it came time to buy land and build a house. When she walked out of the village chief's house, He couldn't help but smile.

When the village chief's wife saw this, she asked the village chief why they came here. She was shocked when she found out that their family was going to build a house. Life is really booming for Father Lu and his family.

Back home, Father Lu took a hoe and went to see the homestead with Lu Jianchuan and He, while Gu Yunxi and Lu Qingqing were painting at home.

Gu Yunxi finished drawing the patterns to be handed over to the embroidery shop next time, and then checked Lu Qingqing's practice today.

"Yes, it was done very well this time. Keep up the good work!" Gu Yun was delighted to see that it was done well and gave him full affirmation.

The child Lu Qingqing is as smart as her brother. If he were a boy, he might also be a budding scholar. Gu Yunxi thought, so he gave her some exercises and asked her to practice by herself first.

She has more important things to do.

After returning to the room and closing the door, Gu Yunxi quickly took off his shoes and lay down on the bed. She wanted to go into the space to check how the herb seedlings sown two days ago were growing.

"Good guy!" Gu Yunxi entered the space and found that the young leaves of the herb that only grew yesterday morning were now almost as high as her knees.

The space does not even need to be watered. The spiritual spring water can flow freely and water these medicinal seedlings as if it is alive.

Then, she plowed the remaining soil into ridges, and sprinkled medicinal seeds in the ridges closest to the spiritual spring. Once these herb seedlings have grown, transplant them to other ridges.

After doing this, Gu Yunxi felt that his whole body was sweating, tired and thirsty. He washed his hands clean and drank a few handfuls of spiritual spring water, which made him feel relieved.

When I went out, the room was still quiet. Father Lu and Lu Jianchuan hadn't come back yet. Only Lu Qingqing was practicing tricks outside the room.

Gu Yunxi was just thinking about getting some water to wipe away his sweat, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Could it be that Father Lu and the others are back?
