After lunch together, Xu Yi's family of three went home, and the two elder brothers planned to harvest all the remaining rice in the afternoon.

The village head took Qin Hao to see some vacant houses in the village.

Because it is only a temporary settlement, and later it will be demolished and rebuilt, Qin Hao does not have much requirements, the foundation is large, and the house can accommodate people.

After seeing three rooms, Qin Hao chose one.

The house is close to the mountain, there is a small road behind the house to go up the mountain, and there is two acres of open space in front of the house, which is very large.

There are only two neighbors around, and it is very clean. Qin Hao thought of his own space, it would be better if there were fewer people.

The asking price of the house is ten taels, and the owner has already moved to Fucheng. He entrusts the village head to make a deal, and the village head can decide for nine taels.

The two acres of vacant land in front of the house belonged to wasteland, four taels per acre, and the two items added up to 17 taels, and the transfer fee to the county seat was still one tael, and Qin Hao had to prepare 18 taels of silver.

The village chief was worried that he would not be able to provide so much money at once, so he told Qin Hao that he could lend him five taels first, but Qin Hao rejected the village chief's kindness.

The village chief was a little surprised, but he felt more at ease. It is better to have one more rich person in the village than one more poor person.

I made an agreement with the village chief to go to the county seat tomorrow to go through the formalities. The village chief gave Qin Hao the key to the house, and he can move in today.

Qin Hao thought about going to the mountains as soon as possible to get some space belongings.

After the village chief left, a small voice from behind the fence shouted, "Big brother, big brother, do you want to live next door to my house?"

The yard of Qin Hao's house shares a half-person-high fence made of stones with the neighbor's house.

He walked to the side wall, leaned on the wall, and saw a little bean standing on tiptoe under the wall. Looking at him, he was short and not much taller when he stood on tiptoe.

"So it's Xiaoshan, your family lives here, where are your brothers?"

Xiaoshan's big round eyes immediately turned into two crescent moons: "Big Brother, Second Brother is going to harvest rice, Xiaoshan is drying the millet at home, will Big Brother live next door to my house?"

"Yes, please take care of Xiaoshan in the future." Qin Hao bent down and hugged Xiaoshan directly to him like pulling a carrot.

Xiaoshan exclaimed a little, and giggled happily, it's amazing, the big brother is so amazing.

"Big brother will go to the mountain to pick up things later, can Xiaoshan help me keep the house key?"

Qin Hao arranged a task for the kid, and the kid puffed out his chest and nodded his head.

"That's right, Xiaoshan also keeps the keys of the house, and he has never lost them."

"Big brother knows you are the best." Qin Hao pinched Xiaoshan's nose, carried him out of his own courtyard, and carried him all the way into Xu's courtyard.

"Stay at home, big brother will bring you a little rabbit to play with when he comes back."

"Okay, the rabbit is delicious." Qin Hao was once again amused by the logic of the snack.

After giving the key to Xiaoshan, Qin Hao walked up the mountain from the small path behind the house, thinking of finding a secluded place to get some space belongings, and wandered around the mountain to see if he could get some pheasants or rabbits, and went to Xu's house for dinner at night eat.

Unknowingly, I walked to a deep mountain far away from the village, where the thatch was growing, and there was no road ahead.

Qin Hao looked around, and quickly disappeared into the space with no one in sight.

He found an ordinary cotton and linen backpack in the villa, took the Swiss army knife, and went to the grass where the gold and pearls were placed.

Under the sunlight, the gold and pearls looked even more dazzling, and even the jewelry in the sack and the pearls in the basket were of very good quality.

The gold bricks and pearls in the wooden box did not move, Qin Hao pulled out a sack of burlap, and picked out four gold bracelets from it, each of which was hollowed out and carved, gorgeous and shining, with different beauties.

He took more than a dozen gold and silver pearls from the basket, wrapped them in silk cloth and put them in the backpack.

Seeing that it was almost done, he left the space, with a backpack on his back and a saber in his hand, Qin Hao started chatting about pheasants and rabbits.

No one usually appears in such a deep mountain. The small animals here are relatively stupid. After a while, two pheasants flew out.

Qin Hao discerned the direction a little bit, swung the knife, and stabbed one of the pheasants.

He walked forward a few steps, drew out the knife, and threw it at another pheasant that was clucking and fleeing. Both pheasants were stabbed in the legs, and they lay on the ground unable to move.

Weaved a rope with thatch, tied the pheasant's feet together, and walked back with two chickens.

On the way back, I also met a gray rabbit looking for food. Not surprisingly, Qin Hao who was looking for food took it away without any effort.

Qin Hao picked leaves, wiped his saber, put it in the side pocket of his backpack, and went down the mountain contentedly.

It was almost dusk when he came back, and Qin Hao found that the three children of the Xu family were cleaning and tidying up in his own house, and there was also a thin and short middle-aged man.

Seeing him carrying three prey, Xu You and Xu Shan immediately threw away the rags in their hands, called Brother Hao happily, and trotted over.

Qin Hao handed the pheasant and rabbit to Xu Wei: "Take them back to your house, we will eat together tonight."

The two brothers looked at Xu Yi at the same time: "Brother!" The tone was hurried and nervous.

"Xu Yi, I don't have anything here, can I go to your house for a meal in the evening? This uncle also stay and eat meat, there is enough meat, thank you for helping me clean up the house."

Xu Yi and the uncle stopped what they were doing, especially the uncle, who corrected him with a smile: "Silly boy, do you call me Uncle Wang? I really come from overseas, and I can't tell the difference between a man and a brother."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Wang, is there any difference between a man and a brother?"

Qin Hao has been puzzled by the man for a long time, and he is already prepared in his heart. He should probably be able to accept any facts, Qin Hao thought to himself uncertainly.

"Xu Er, Xu Shan and you are men, and Xu Yi and I are brothers. My brother has a red plum blossom mark behind his ear."

"Then what's the name of the girl here?" Qin Hao asked suspiciously.

"What do you mean by girls? There are no girls." Uncle Wang and the third son of the Xu family looked puzzled.

"It's the one who gave birth."

"Oh, the person who gave birth to the child is my brother. Do you call it a girl?" Uncle Wang suddenly realized that he thought he understood Qin Hao's confusion.

Qin Hao's three views have exploded again and again. He thought he was very calm, but life still keeps challenging him.

Qin Hao digested this fact with difficulty, stood there with his mouth open, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Xu Er, take the rabbit and the chicken back to your house. If Uncle Wang agrees, your brother will agree too. When the place is cleaned up, I'll ask Ah Hua to come over for dinner."

Uncle Wang looked at Qin Hao standing there stupidly, thinking that he was embarrassed to know that Xu Yi was his brother, because Xu Yi also told him that Qin Hao thought he was a man.

"Then get busy, I'll kill the rabbit and the chicken." Qin Hao thought that the two brothers in front of him were equivalent to his real-life women, how could he stay with them calmly, at least not yet.

So Qin Hao followed the two young men and hurried away.

Ignoring the excited chirping of the two children, Qin Hao absently asked them to boil water, and sat on the bench in Xu's yard by himself, staring at the millet drying in front of him.

Qin Hao has many friends, both male and female, but he has never had a girlfriend.

Girls who have been chasing him since he was a child have never stopped, and he has never taken it seriously.

Old Lu always said that he was not enlightened, and that he had never been in a relationship at the age of 25.

Sometimes jokingly, Lao Lu would also say that it’s okay for a woman to find a man if she doesn’t like it, son, of course you want to fall in love when you’re young.

Qin Hao also asked himself, it seems that he just didn't find the right person, not a male or female problem.

Since I plan to live a good life here, let it be, it doesn't matter whether Xu Yi is a man or a brother, when I have an extra brother, I will get along with him how I want to get along with him in the future.

After figuring it out, he happily shaved the chicken and rabbit fur with the brothers Xu Wei, skillfully disemboweled them, cut them into small pieces, and waited for Xu Yi and the others to cook when they came back.

There is so much meat today, Qin Hao is willing to chop it all at once, and the two brothers are not stingy with seasoning.

Potato-roasted chicken, red-braised rabbit, stir-fried chicken offal and rabbit offal, boiled a big pot of thick chicken soup, put some mushrooms picked in the mountains, it was very fresh.

Fry two more vegetarian dishes. I just harvested the grain and the granary is full. I didn't make porridge, but stewed a big pot of brown rice.

The two little ones who were harvesting millet in the yard slipped to the kitchen after a while, inhaling the aroma and being very satisfied.

I was lucky enough to get one or two pieces of meat, and I was so happy that I couldn't bear to spit out the bones, and I sucked it in my mouth with relish.

When the dishes were about to be served, Xu Yi sent Xu Er to call Uncle Wang's son Xu Hua to have dinner.

Uncle Wang and his son live in another courtyard next door, the Xu family is in the middle, the three families are close to each other, and there is a distance from the center of the village, and they usually have a close relationship.

Especially after the original owner of Qin Hao's house moved to Fucheng, the relationship between the two of them became even better.

Uncle Wang lost her husband when she was young, and depended on her son for life. She had a very strong temper and refused to remarry.

He and Xu Yi are best friends, and the Xu family and his wife helped him a lot in the past.

After Xu's husband and wife passed away, he saw Xu Yi, who was 14 years old, with two younger children. He was afraid that something would happen to the three children, so he had to come to Xu Yi's house to take care of them every day for the first year.

Although he doesn't come here every day, he still visits occasionally, and he can be regarded as the only serious elder of the three Xu Yi brothers.

When Xu Wei called Xu Hua over, all the food was served. Xu Hua and Xu Wei were about the same age, and the two younger ones soon got along with Qin Hao.

After a sumptuous meal, Qin Hao gained another fanboy.

The portion of the meal was very large, and there was not even a drop of soup left in the end. Except for Qin Hao, everyone else ate their stomachs round and their hearts were full of joy.

Farmers can’t open their stomachs to eat meat during the Chinese New Year, not to mention that in normal times, cooking and cooking oil have to be considered carefully.

The big guy sat on the stool, hugging his belly and having endless aftertaste.

Qin Hao is not used to eating rough and throat-grinding brown rice, so he can barely squeeze a bowl of rice. He thinks that the most urgent thing is to lead everyone to earn some money, at least to be able to eat rice and meat every day.

After dinner, Uncle Wang sent Xu Hua home, and stayed with Xu Yi to live in the same room.

Qin Hao's house can't live in people today, so he can only squeeze in with Xu Wei for a night.

Unmarried brother, a man still needs to avoid suspicion, and there must be an adult at home.
