Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

In the evening, the couple who got into the RV couldn't help but talk about this matter. Gu Huanxi was a little surprised, "You just said it so straightforwardly? Aren't you afraid that they will plot to criticize you behind your back?"

Xu Huaiyi chuckled, "I'm too lazy to argue with them about this matter in the future, so I'll just make it clear so that when the old Xu family comes, they won't have to talk about what's there and what's not. When I'm not at home, they won't be able to come looking for me." Are you in trouble?"

"Are you thinking of me?"

"Of course.

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes at him, "I thank you, are you asking me to take the blame for you?"

Xu Huaiyi chuckled and said, "I told them that you are the master of our family and all the property is in your name. Once I come to the door, I have no status myself. How can I have the nerve to arrange for others?"

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi said helplessly, "Why do you say that? Do you think your reputation is too good? You actually don't have to come out like this. When the old Xu family comes, I will come forward to solve the problem. What I say is not as good as Are you more suitable? Your reputation will still be flawless..."

"I don't care."

"But if someone uses this to criticize you in the future..."

"Then let's criticize. Don't think so far. There will be a road to the mountain. Let's live the life in front of us happily first."

"You are so thoughtful."

"It's not that I'm open-minded, but that I see clearly. My wife, if someone really wants to go against me in the future, then I will be the embodiment of perfection, and they will be able to find fault with it."

"..."

The next day, Xu Huaiyi wanted to sleep in, but he remembered that he had not interacted with his son for a long time, so he struggled to get up, put on his training clothes, and first ran with Gu Xiaoyu to practice boxing, and then guided him in archery, practicing for more than an hour. , in the middle of winter, the two of us broke out in a sweat and went to take a bath together.

Gu Xiaoyu protested, but after washing, his face was flushed, the smile on his brows and eyes was lingering, and he walked more briskly than usual, a little more lively as a child.

Xu Huaiyi pulled him and moved him to the stove to dry his hair.

Gu Huanxi walked in and out, preparing breakfast.

Now that there are more men in the house, it becomes obviously more lively.

After dinner, Xu Huaiyi took the money and went to the village chief Hu to buy land to build a village. By the way, he called Xu Maoyuan and the purchase went smoothly. There were still a lot of idle land near Hutian Village, but the price had gone up compared to before. It’s quite a bit, but compared to other places, it’s still a good deal.

Village Chief Hu knew that the tofu shop was doing well and that Xu Huaiyi was not short of money at the moment, so he sincerely suggested that he buy more. Anyway, buying land was the right way and he would never suffer a loss.

Xu Maoyuan also meant this, and advised, "Fields are family property. They can be left to children and passed down from generation to generation. It is much more reliable than money."

Xu Huaiyi originally wanted to buy more, but after hearing what the two said, he followed the trend and moved the land around the village to his own territory piecemeal.

More than two hundred acres of land, a total of more than six hundred taels of silver, which in the past would have been unthinkable, but now, Xu Huaiyi paid for it effortlessly without batting an eyelid.

The tofu shop dare not say that it will make a fortune every day, but according to this development trend, a few thousand taels per month can still be guaranteed, and we can develop other businesses in the future...

Even though Xu Huaiyi doesn't like to show off, he feels proud in his heart. As a man, how can he not feel a sense of accomplishment if he can allow his wife, children, and children to live a life without worrying about money?

After finishing this matter, Xu Huaiyi took his wife and children and drove a mule cart to Zhuangzi. There were quite a lot of people in Zhuangzi now. There were more than sixty men and women in total. The houses they built were enough to live in. However, those The woman just came yesterday, and she was still a little anxious.

Hu Yingjie had already sorted it out and secretly admired Xu Huaiyi's shrewdness in buying people. The women he chose were those who had no support at home and had children who did not want to remarry. Once such people were given a stable place to live and food and clothing for them, Don't worry, you will be devoted to your master for the rest of your life.

If he showed some kindness to their children, he would be willing to sacrifice their lives.

As he thought, as soon as Xu Huaiyi arrived, he went straight to the children, with Gu Xiaoyu and Wei Liang beside him, and asked them to choose suitable martial arts disciples.

Wei Liang stepped forward and pinched their bodies one by one. The younger ones were three or four years old, and the older ones were eleven or twelve years old. Without exception, they were all skin and bones from hunger. Fortunately, after they came last night, Hu Yingjie followed Xu Huaiyi's instructions. He ordered them to wash themselves thoroughly and change into clean clothes. Although they looked thin, they were no longer tired.

Those children probably guessed Wei Liang's intention. They all tried their best to straighten their little bodies, with eager eyes shining in the hope that they would be selected.

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Liang picked out twelve of them and said to Xu Huaiyi, "The rest of them are too weak. Even if they practice martial arts reluctantly, it will be difficult to make progress."

The eyes of those who were selected were bright, and those who were not selected almost cried.

Seeing this, Xu Huaiyi couldn't bear it and comforted him, "If you're not selected, I won't kick you out. Don't be nervous. Life is not just about practicing martial arts. You can learn other things as long as you work hard."

After hearing this, those children who were not selected no longer panicked like cubs who had lost their shelter.

Xu Huaiyi sighed secretly, turned to Gu Xiaoyu and said, "Go and pick a few that you are close to, and I will practice martial arts with you from now on."

Gu Xiaoyu nodded, and with a casual glance among the twelve people, he selected two people to come out, "Dad, just the two of them."

The two people who were selected were startled, and after they realized what they were doing, they quickly stood up in surprise, "Thank you, Master, and please give me your name."

Gu Xiaoyu pondered for a moment, "One is called Baopu, and the other is Shouzhuo."

The two of them had not read the book and did not know the meaning of the name, but it did not affect their excitement. If they could be given a name, it would mean that they were accepted. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed, which was regarded as officially recognizing the master.

Xu Huaiyi blinked, so rash? Isn't it time to think carefully about selecting people? It's like choosing between fat and thin people. Whoever you choose will be the one?

He looked at the newly appointed Baopu and Shouzhuo, but he really couldn't see anything special about them. One was seven or eight years old, and the other was about ten years old. In terms of appearance, they were pretty at best. The only thing that satisfied him was, The two of them had pure eyes and no timidity.

But since his son had already chosen, he wouldn't question it. He put on airs, said a few words, and asked them to go back and pack their things, and then follow them directly.

The others stayed on Zhuangzi and practiced with Hu Yingjie first.

On the other side, Gu Huanxi also had a general understanding of the dozen or so women he bought. He chose a lady with a neat and straightforward personality to be the housekeeper. She would be responsible for managing the down clothes in the future. They all signed death contracts, so she was not afraid that they would Pass on your down handling tips.

She selected four more young girls who looked honest and honest and handed them over to Wei Ci for training. If they were observed for a period of time and their character was good, they would be put to her to teach.
