Chapter 354
"Grandma, and my melon field also needs to be watered now." Liu Yiyi said hastily. Recently, everyone is busy with wheat harvest and has no time to take care of her melon field.

She was too young to do anything, so she finally waited for everyone to be free, and hurriedly asked everyone for help.

"Okay, water the melon field too." Zhao Xiaolan said with a smile, that is, her mother-in-law dotes on this girl.

The daughter said that she wanted to eat melons, so the mother-in-law found melon seeds and took the children to open a field to plant more than an acre of cantaloupe and cold melons.

Every day when I go to the vegetable garden, I can see the melon fields over there, which are actually not bad.

Mrs. Liu is at home, hiding the silver in another place, and no one knows except her.

Liu Zhijiang and Liu Zhihe stayed behind to pull the cart, and bought two thousand catties of wheat at a price of six fen per catty, which cost 12 taels of silver.

Old man Liu only spent 15 taels of silver to buy a large area from Shuiwazi to the foot of the mountain.

"Cheng Xiang, what did you buy that puddle for?" Patriarch Liu took Li Chang Zhao to measure the large area.

Although it is very cheap, the puddles are too shallow to raise fish.

Old man Liu smiled, "Patriarch, to tell you the truth, in fact, I was interested in being close to my home. I took my son and grandson to dig the puddle deeper, and it became a small pond. The surrounding land, As for me, I picked up the small stones inside and planted some soybeans. "

"Actually, it's more cost-effective to buy fertile land!" Patriarch Liu felt that it was not worth it, so he still tried to persuade old man Liu.

Of course, old man Liu knew that Patriarch Liu had good intentions, but they had already discussed that they must buy that Shuiwazi.

Of course, the reason cannot be said to be requested by the little granddaughter, it is too unimaginable.

In addition, the little granddaughter is a very blessed child. It is enough for their own family to know, and they do not want others to know, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and disputes.

So old man Liu thought about it carefully and found a very reasonable excuse.

"Patriarch, in fact, I also want to buy fertile land, but the weather has been smooth and the weather has been good for the past few years, and the people's harvests have been good, and the county magistrate is not the kind of person who oppresses the people.

The life of our common people is easier, so there are very few things about selling children and daughters and selling fields!Besides, in addition to buying rations, my family can't buy a few acres of land with the rest of the money.If you buy a few acres of land in a distant village, it will be difficult to manage!
So I thought about buying it closer. After thinking about it, the piece of land in front of my house is good.As long as I take the children to work hard and raise the land, it will be good. "

Li Chang Zhao nodded after hearing this, "Cheng Xiang is right. My natal brother bought a few acres of land ten miles away from home. It's usually fine, but when it's time to harvest, it will be taken away." People stole more than half of it. Later, there was no other way, and they were directly leased to nearby villages for planting.”

Hearing what Zhao Lichang said, Patriarch Liu was too embarrassed to try to persuade him.

"Since you have made up your mind and considered all aspects, then I won't talk about it anymore. Let's go to measure the land now, and we will go to the county government office tomorrow when we have time to get your land deed." Patriarch Liu nodded and said .

A group of several people came to the vicinity of Shuiwazi and began to measure.

I thought it was only five or six mu of land, but after measuring it, it turned out to be more than eight mu. Including other corners and corners, it is estimated to be ten mu.

If the Liu old man's family is diligent and well-raised, it would be a good choice.

Li Chang Zhao thought for a while and said, "Chengxiang, we originally thought there were only five or six mu of land here, but now we measure it to be eight mu and six cents of land, so 15 taels of silver is a bit small! Think about it, even a homestead More than this money!"

Of course, old man Liu knew what Li Zhang Zhao meant, so he asked with a smile: "Since Li Zhang Zhao said so, how much money do you think is more appropriate?"

Zhao Lichang's family had a bumper harvest of wheat and rice, and they also bought seeds from Old Man Liu's family, so they owed a favor.

"Then you can add another five taels of silver, so that it will be easier for us to go to the county government to handle these procedures for you, otherwise the county government will not be able to talk about it!" Zhao Lichang said, adding up to 20 taels of silver, reluctantly Barely enough.

Patriarch Liu wanted to say more, but was stopped by old man Liu, and he didn't want to get into trouble with Li Zhang because of this matter.

What's more, Li Zhang Zhao is right, such a large area has received less income, and it is really hard to explain it to the county government.

"Okay, 20 taels of silver is 20 taels!" Old man Liu said with a smile, leaving no trouble.

Excluding the silver used to buy land and grain, there are dozens of taels left.

With this money, I can build another yard. The homestead has already been bought before, and now I just need to buy the materials for building the house.

After returning home, Old Man Liu told his wife, Mrs. Liu, "We still have dozens of taels of silver left, let's build another house! This one has five big tile-roofed houses, with four wing rooms on each side. It took a whole 55 silver."

"Is it the same size to build a house for the second and third family?" Mrs. Liu thought more.

Old man Liu shook his head, "Of course we can't build such a big house, we will live with the boss's family in the future, so build a bigger house!
The second and third children are going to be separated, and their population is not large, so I plan to build three main rooms for them, and three wing rooms on each side.

In this way, only 35 taels of silver is enough.If they think it's too small, let them pay for the house themselves! "

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she smiled slightly, "Master, why do I think you are getting smarter now?"

"I'm at this age, and I don't want to understand that I'm so confused! These years, the three of them went out to work. Half of the money they earned was kept, and the other half was handed over to the public office. How much more is in the hand? At least they have saved a lot of money! If they want to build a big one, they just pay for it themselves, and if they don’t want to build it, that’s enough!" Old Man Liu said with a smile.

Mrs. Liu nodded, her face was full of red, "Okay, let's build the house of the second family first, and when the money is collected, we will build the house of the third family!"

"Then it's settled!" Old man Liu said with a smile from ear to ear, the life at home is getting better and better.

In the evening, everyone heard from Old Man Liu about buying land and building a house.

Especially Wu Xiao'e, who was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, but she was afraid that her parents-in-law would think that she couldn't wait to move, so she kept holding back her smile.

Old man Liu decided to speak more clearly to avoid conflicts in the future, "Zhihe, Xiao'e, when we built the current house, your mother and I also told you that I will take care of your elder brother, so the house is well built. bigger.

You and the third child are both going to be separated, so your mother and I have agreed to build three main rooms and three east and west wing rooms with your house now.If you feel small, you can add money yourself, and you can build whatever you want. I will pay 35 taels of silver here! "
