Two yamen runners came out and saw that they came in a mule cart, so they didn't have to walk, and the two men were very satisfied.

He took the measuring tools and went back to the village without saying a word.

While driving on the road, Mu Feng chatted with two yamen runners.

Fang Lai asked, "Are you the one who wants to buy the hill?" Wang Jian also stared at him.

Mu Feng replied calmly: "Ye Fang, Ye Wang, yes, my future wife asked to buy it, so I came to invite you."

Fang Lai interrupted him and said, "Just call me Brother Fang and call him Brother Wang. There's no need to keep calling him the yamen runner. It seems strange."

Mu Feng changed his words: "Brother Fang, Brother Wang."

"That's right. I'm tired of being called a yamen runner in the government office." Wang Jian said with a silly smile.

Fang Lai and Wang Jian, seeing that Mu Feng was so young and yet he was planning to buy the small hilltop, guessed that his family must have some financial resources.

A few people were chatting on the mule cart and stopped at the entrance of the village.

Mu Feng pointed to the house at the edge of the village and said, "Brother Fang, Brother Wang, that's my home. You can go in and have a drink of water and rest for a while. The hill you want to measure is this one."

When Fang Lai and Wang Jian saw the house that Mu Feng was pointing at, their fantasy that Mu Feng had a wealthy family was shattered.

So he refused and said, "No, we can finish the measurement earlier. We don't have to go back to town today. It's better to be lazy and go home early."

They went forward with measuring tools, and Mu Feng and the village head followed.

I saw them pulling a line, measuring back and forth, and writing and drawing on paper. The small hill, which was originally about 20 acres, was reduced to 15 acres by the yamen runners with a wave of their hands.

If there is no good harvest from growing crops on a small hill, it is not expensive. Nowadays, the value of land and hills depends entirely on whether the harvest is good.

Such a hill only yields one tael of silver per mu, so fifteen mu would yield fifteen taels, leaving a full five taels, which is the entire annual harvest of many villagers.

Fang Lai looked at Mu Feng and said, "I can't see anything special about this hill, except for some bamboos."

Mu Feng rubbed his head and said, "My two brothers, I don't know what to do with it now. I think my wife has her own plans."

Seeing that they had already measured the land, the specially signed contract they brought was stamped with the government seal. They just filled in the number of acres and the contract became effective.

Seeing that they had all filled out the form, he gave one copy to Mu Feng and asked him to take one copy back to the government office, and that was considered the task completed.

The village head said at the right time: "Now that you two have finished measuring, Mu Feng's house is nearby, why don't you go home and have a drink of water and rest."

"Yes, brothers, come to my house and rest for a while, so I can ask my wife to give you the money." Mu Feng said.

Fang Lai and Wang Jian were indeed a little thirsty, so they agreed.

The head of the village and Mu Feng took them home. When they entered the house, Luo Yu saw two yamen runners following them, who must have come to measure the house.

Mu Feng came up to Luo Yu and Luo Ci and introduced them, "Brother Fang, Brother Wang, this is my future wife Luo Yu. Luo Yu, these are the two servants arranged by the government office to help with the measurement. This is Brother Fang and Brother Wang."

"Hello, Brother Fang and Brother Wang. I'm thirsty. I'll go get you some water." After saying hello, Luo Yu carried Luo Ci to the kitchen.

Mu Feng followed, took the water and brought it out to Wang Jian, Fang Lai and the village head to drink.

He went to the kitchen again, and Luo Yu said, "Mu Feng, I have prepared the food, and it is all warming in the pot! You take the table out, and I will take the food out."

Mu Feng was impressed by her attentiveness and had to obey her and take the table out.

Fang Lai and Wang Jian originally just wanted to drink water, but they were a little surprised to see Mu Feng carrying a table out.

Mu Feng said, "My wife has already prepared the food, and it's all warming in the pot. Brothers, please do me a favor and have a meal together."

The head of the village is now even more satisfied with Luo Yu. He does his job very well and makes people happy.

Fang Lai and Wang Jian wanted to refuse, but the village head persuaded them, "You two should stay and have a simple meal. If you go home now, you will have to trouble your wives, right?"

Come to think of it, it was already past dinner time, and they probably wouldn't leave any food for the family, so they agreed, "That's a bother."

"It's no trouble. I'll bring it to you and you can eat it." Mu Feng took over and went into the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Luo Yu wanted to take it but was stopped by Mu Feng. It was the first day they met and they were not familiar with each other. Also, because of the difference between men and women, Luo Ci was afraid of strangers, so he asked her to go back to the house to get the money and give it to them later.

Luo Yu cooked three dishes and a soup, including meat and vegetables, with large portions, and meat buns. Eating these in the village was already a very sumptuous meal.

The food was ready, and the village head also went to get some wine. This wine was specially given to Mu Feng by the village head yesterday, saying that he could entertain anyone who came to his house.

It came in handy today.

After pouring the wine, the four of them started eating in the yard.

Luo Yu didn't know when they would come back at noon, so he took Luo Ci to eat first.

The two people, who were not very hungry at first, regained their appetite after tasting the food and meat buns made by Luo Yu.

Mu Feng was afraid that they would take a long time to eat and Luo Ci couldn't stay in the house, so he brought the rabbit cage into the house to keep her company. It could be said that he was very considerate.

Fang Lai and Wang Jian only drank a small amount, so in the first round, they were asked to pour less and just drink enough to pass the time.

He ate very quickly, finishing in less than half an hour.

Mu Feng gave them money and specially gave them two purses. Before leaving, he asked them to take some buns back for their children.

Fang Lai and Wang Jian ate the food at the table and found it really delicious. They did not refuse and took it back to feed their children and also to please their wives.

Fang Lai and Wang Jian were very satisfied with the couple's handling of the matter. They said goodbye to Mu Feng with a smile and told him to come to the government office to find them if he had any problems in the future. They would definitely help if they could.

He also said the same thing to the village head, asking the villagers to find them if they had any problems.

After seeing them leave, Luo Yu brought Luo Ci out of the yard.

The village head also stood up and prepared to go back. Luo Yu gave him a small jar of pickles and some buns, but he refused without thinking.

But the young couple were both good at speaking, and the village head was no match for them, so he took them back again.

Seeing that they had all left, the two of them cleaned up the table. Luo Yu rushed over to wash the dishes, allowing him to take a break.

Mu Feng wasn’t actually tired, he didn’t do anything, he just went through the motions.

But he couldn't snatch it from Luo Yu, so he went out to find Luo Ci and handed her the candied haws he bought in town.

Luo Ci happily took it, smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Brother Mu Feng."

Mu Feng heard the little one calling him, and he looked at her lovingly. Afraid that she couldn't bite it, he specially made a small piece for her.

Luo Yu came out and saw Mu Feng looking at Luo Ci lovingly, and thought to himself: Will this guy be a daughter slave in the future?

Seeing her come out after washing the dishes, Mu Feng took another skewer and handed it to her to eat.

Luo Yu took it without hesitation. Seeing him watching the sisters eat, she asked Mu Feng, "What about yours?"

Mu Feng shook his head and said, "I only bought two bunches. I don't like sweet things."

Seeing you guys enjoying your meal makes me feel even happier. Mu Feng thought.
