four and a half year old farm family pet

Chapter 172 Land purchase is on the agenda
Miao's eagerness to convene everyone for a family meeting made even Jin Zhong a little confused.

"Mom, what happened in such a hurry?" Jin Da was fine just now, but he still wanted to buy two kilograms of wine, stir-fry peanuts, and wash away the dust for his brother.

Miao held Yuan Bao in her arms, sat beside Jin Zhong, and said to Jin Si: "Lao Si, when are you two going to do what you two talked about earlier?"

"Something? What's the matter?"

"Buying land!" Mrs. Miao scolded with hatred, "Didn't you want to exchange the 50 taels of silver from Yuanbao's portrait for fields to be used as a dowry for Yuanbao when he grows up? Why, you want to settle down? , for the baby in your belly?"

"Oh, mother, how can you think of me like this? The time has not come yet. Why, we have to wait until the plowing time to see whether God will reward us with food and whether it will rain. Then we can go out and lobby. Buy the land, mother, your son will be sad if you say this."

Jin Sixuan was about to cry and said aggrievedly.

Miao waved her hand and said, "Don't do this to me. It will be the eighth day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow and we have to start farming. It's time to go to the fields to work in the spring on the third day of the Lunar New Year. But there is no rain in the sky, so it doesn't work. This way, we can save ourselves from a long night of sleep." Duo, go to the village chief tomorrow and help me finalize the purchase of the land. In addition, you can also take the money from your father-in-law and exchange it for me into fields."

This time it was Jin Zhong's turn to be surprised, "Old lady, do you have a high fever?"

In the years of famine, it was inevitable that the family would have to spend money at some point. The old woman had held his ear and told him that the money was for the family's emergency needs. He must not let his cousins ​​know about it so that he could borrow money. .

Now it's good, but Miao will use all the money from his father-in-law to buy land?

This time, let alone Jin Zhong, the five brothers of the Jin family were also very confused.

"Mom, what aroused you?"

Miao held her soft and yawning granddaughter in her arms and gave everyone in the Jin family a blank look.

"Who is stimulated? Look, what is this?" Miao put a piece of ginger on the table.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yu was naturally the first to ask: "Mom, isn't this just a piece of ginger?" Mrs. Miao said cheerfully: "Yes, this is indeed a piece of ginger, but this is an ingot that our family has saved for more than a month. The ginger is still fresh.”

The Jin family couldn't figure out what the connection between fresh ginger and the old lady was spending all her family's money on to buy land.

Bao Juhua boldly said: "Mom, do you want to drink ginger soup? My daughter-in-law will make it for you..."

"What should I drink? Are you just thinking about eating it? I don’t need to say more about how good ginger is in winter? Ginger water and ginger tea can warm the body. Usually, ginger is planted in spring and harvested. It will go bad after a few days, and there will be no more. If it really doesn’t rain this year and we can’t plant spring rice, our family will plant ginger instead. Anyway, growing ginger doesn’t require much water. We can just go to the mountains to get a bucket and water it, and wait until the rice is harvested to harvest the ginger. Dig it up and keep it. When the weather gets cold, you brothers will transport it to the city. If our family doesn't make money, who will?"

Yuanbao echoed in a sweet voice: "No one makes money, only our family makes money~~Grandma is so smart~~"

"Grandma's sweet granddaughter has such a sweet mouth. It's thanks to your filial piety that you cooked that bowl of ginger soup for your father. Otherwise, grandma would have been broke and she wouldn't have been able to come up with such a good idea!"

Seeing her granddaughter's cute appearance, Ms. Miao couldn't help but lowered her head and kissed her hard.

Jin Zhong said: "Old lady, you also said that ginger must be preserved well so that you can make a lot of money when the weather is cold. The problem is that this ginger cannot be stored at all."

He is also a farmer and knows as much about crops as Miao.

Miao said cheerfully: "I dare to propose using the money given in the gift to buy land to grow ginger. There is a way to store ginger. But it's just the beginning of spring, and the rice harvest is still far away. I won't tell you how to store ginger for now. You guys, Brother Zhong, I will go back to the house and talk to you in detail later."

Jin Zhong nodded, the couple were of the same mind, he had nothing to doubt.

With her husband's support, Miao didn't need to say anything more. She carried Yuan Bao, who was sleeping quietly, back to the house, put it down, and took out the money jar.

Pa Pa poured out more than 30 taels of silver, pushed it in front of Jin Si, and warned: "Tomorrow you go to the village chief and buy as many acres of land as possible!"
