The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Because she didn't see her uncle's family, Su He thought that they might have split up.

Seeing Sun happily eating pastries, I asked casually.

"Your grandpa and I followed your eldest uncle. Your youngest uncle's two children have grown up, so he has to save money to get married. There happened to be a job in the next village, so your youngest uncle took his two sons and went there. He will be back in half a month."

Su He was slightly surprised. She remembered that her uncle's eldest son was three years older than her. He must be 19 this year. He was still unmarried at such an age. It must mean that his family was too poor.

It’s not easy for my uncle and grandpa to think this way. They still decided to bring the three siblings here. I can only say that they really tried their best and really cared about them.

Su He knew that having a place to live was good enough, and they couldn't cause any more trouble.

Su He planned to go to the county the next day, pretending to take a walk, and transport some food, meat and vegetables from the space. Speaking of vegetables, the vegetables in Su He's space have been harvested for a crop, and judging from the growth, the second batch will be harvested soon.

Because she only has one acre of land, she spends her money carefully, using one acre to grow vegetables, one acre for spices such as chili peppers and cumin, one acre for fruit, and the rest is food. Because she has stored a lot of rice in the space, she currently mainly grows potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Although there is only one mu of land for vegetables, it is still an area of ​​60 square meters. Su He plans to plant six kinds of vegetables first, namely cabbage, bok choy, white radish, carrots, yam and pumpkin.

The staple food grows more slowly, but Su He estimates that it will be harvested in another month.

Now there are two more mouths to feed, and the rice stored in the space can last for five years, so Su He is not so anxious.

She thought about it carefully and decided that if she were to settle down in Willow Village, she would definitely have to choose a house close to her grandmother's family. The three siblings were too weak, and she would not be able to sleep well if they were too far away.

My uncle Wang Fugui's house is made of earth bricks and thatch, which is rare in modern rural areas, but in Liushu Village, it is already a nice house.

The thatch on the roof has to be replaced frequently, and walking on it when it rains is a disaster. This is the case for most people in the village. The poorer families live in mud houses with straw roofs.

"Grandma, when I came here by carriage, I saw that our neighbors' houses were all made of blue bricks and tiles. I wonder how much silver it would cost to build three houses like this."

"Hehua, you are talking about Wang Qingshan's family next door. They have a large family. There are six males of the same generation as your uncle, and there are even more below them. The house is twice as big as ours, but there are too many people. Three people can live in one room."

Zhou just walked in and heard Hehua's question. She couldn't help but answer it. They liked to gossip when they had nothing to do, and they talked about the village's family affairs.

"There are so many people here, and there are so many disputes. Apart from the village chief's family, theirs is the only one with a blue brick and tile house. It was originally a good thing, but there are so many of them. At first, each of the six sons could get two rooms. I don't know who started it, but every household started to have more children. Now, the grandchildren can't even get half a room."

Su He thought it was ridiculous, "Don't the elders in this family have separate families? How do so many people usually eat?"

Sun smiled, "At first, I was reluctant to do so. Wang Qingshan is the eldest son, and his father felt that no one would dare to bully his six sons living together. This is true, and no one dares to mess with their family, but now there are more and more people and it's a headache. It's difficult to divide it now. Not only the sons and daughters-in-law, but also the grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law. The sons and daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law each have their own families, so no matter how you divide it, there will be quarrels."

When Zhou heard this, she immediately stepped forward to compliment Sun.

Wang Daming waited until his youngest son got married before separating from the family business. At first, people thought he was stupid, but now everyone is envious of him. The relationship between the two brothers has become better after the separation, and they treat Wang Daming and Sun as well as before.

Su He sighed in her heart. She couldn't find a house near Wang Qingshan's house. There were too many things to do. Not to mention the far ones, just say she needed to borrow some salt and onions for cooking. For two onions from others, they would need at least a basket. Who could afford that?

"Aunt, these red dates with brown sugar were bought in my county. You can drink some before your period in winter to replenish your blood."

Su He thought of the gift forgotten in the corner and spoke quickly.

Zhou subconsciously refused after seeing it. Such two large bags would cost at least one hundred coins. Su He had to support two younger siblings and needed money everywhere. She could not take advantage of this.

"I don't want to hide it from my uncle and aunt, because the old lady likes me. When I leave the house, I have some silver on me. I can take out fifty or sixty taels of silver, not much. So, aunt, please take the brown sugar and red dates. And the cotton cloth, you can also make some clothes for the family. This is also my way of honoring the elders. Lotus will have many things to trouble aunt for help in the future."

Zhou didn't expect Su He to have so much money.

"Lotus, you must keep this money well. Mu Tou will get married in seven or eight years. Miao Miao is only three years old and you will have to give her a dowry in the future. You yourself will also get married sooner or later, so don't waste this money."

Su He just nodded and didn't talk much about getting married.

"Aunt, I want to go to the county tomorrow. How should I go?"

"Tomorrow is not the day for the village market, and most villagers don't go out, so Wang Laosan at the entrance of the village is taking a break. If you want to go, you have to charter a car, which costs 30 cents for a round trip."

Su He nodded. The price was not cheap, but it was just right for her. She bought a lot of things this time, and it would be more conspicuous if there were more people around. It was fine for her to be alone.

"Then I'll hire a car. Aunt, I don't know if my cousin has finished eating. Please ask him to accompany me. I don't know the way. I'll remember it next time."

Zhou patted Su He and tapped her forehead.

"Why are you being so polite? There's no need for a little girl like you to go. There are plenty of people at home. I'll let Binzi go in a moment."

"Yes, Hehua, if you have any problems, just go find your cousin. In half a month, your two cousins ​​will also be back. If you have any problems, just go find them. They are all family members."

When Sun heard this, she also felt that Hehua was being too polite, but after thinking about it carefully, she thought that she must have just arrived and was not yet used to it, and she just needed to wait for a while.

Su He nodded and agreed, but she didn't intend to trouble anyone. She was used to being independent since she was a child. If it were in modern times, she would at most call a moving company, spend some money, and do everything by herself, and she would be free to do anything.

"Aunt, are there any other empty houses in our village? I want to buy two."

"What?"

"Lotus, why did you buy a house? Just live here!"

"Grandma, you guys also said that Mu Tou will get married in seven or eight years. I happen to have money here, so if I find someone I like, I will definitely buy her first to make sure I'm safe. It doesn't mean we have to move out right away after buying her. We have to wait until the spring when the farming season is over to tear down and rebuild."

Su He's words convinced the two elders. After all, they also felt that continuing the family line was a big deal. Mu Tou would be nine years old after the New Year, so it was indeed not too early.

"If you're talking about vacant houses, there are definitely some, but most of them are quite far from us. Our house is in the back of the village. The closest ones are either at the foot of the mountain, where there are more vacant lots, but they're also far away, so you definitely can't go there. There's also the Zhao family at the head of the village. They're outsiders, with only one son and one daughter. The daughter is pretty and married well, and moved to the county. She gave birth to a son the second year after she got married, and once she had established herself, she took the old couple and her younger brother from the Zhao family over, so this house became vacant. I heard they're also selling it."

Su He listened carefully and decided that neither of these two places would work. The foot of the mountain was quiet, but it was not suitable for them. The head of the village was not a good choice either. Not only was it too far from his uncle, but there were also many strangers. If something happened, the head of the village would be the first to suffer.
