Because he had pulled Feng Xiaoqi's tiger skin, the trip to Qianshui Village to view houses and land went very smoothly. After Lao Zhangtou and his four sons came back from viewing, they directly held a family meeting.
“We went to see the situation in Qianshui Village. The land was all good, and among the fifty acres of land, only ten acres of medium-sized land were separate. The other forty acres of land were all connected together. Dachuan saw that He has decided to buy the ten acres of medium-sized farmland, and I have no objection!"
Old Zhangtou said first.
“Dachuan is our son-in-law, but he also has to support us and establish a household. They and their family of four can take care of ten acres of land. During the autumn harvest, we can help each other and be busy.”
“I listen to dad.”
Song Dachuan expressed his position at the right time.
"When these lands are sold, they are sold with the grain in the fields. I saw the wheat and they are all growing well. After buying these lands, we will be busy with the autumn harvest, so that next year Our family has enough food for the year.
The house is also ready. Mr. Liu was in a hurry and sold it to us together with the furniture in the house. We can just live in it with our people and things. < br>
When the autumn harvest is over, we will hold a housewarming party and invite the village chief of Qianshui Village and some highly respected people to be guests, so that our family can move around the village more conveniently. "
The Zhang family listened. In the end, they were all very happy, and the sisters-in-law all whispered to each other. The courtyard with two entrances was more than enough for them, and the couple could have a separate room, which they had never dared to think about before.
"If everyone has no objections, we will go to pay the money and go through the formalities tomorrow."
Of course everyone has no objections.
Song Dachuan mentioned something:
"Dad, Hui Niang and I have discussed that we can make do in dad's yard temporarily before the autumn harvest. When the autumn harvest is over, we will build our own house. .”
“Have you got the money?”
"It's all planned, and we have enough money. We saved some before, and with the unexpected gains along the way, it's enough."
"Okay, you are the one who is in charge, so just make up your mind."
The day after the family meeting, the entire Zhang family went out to Qianshui Village, where they delivered the silver face to face with Liu Yuanwai, who was so fat that he looked like Maitreya Buddha, and then took the Liu family's carriage back to the village. Huang Fengcheng transferred the house and land deeds to Old Man Zhang, and the family officially settled in Qianshui Village.
Old man Zhang also signed the red deed for the land and house, paid the tax, and returned to Qianshui Village with the registered household registration.
The family has already allocated a house and put all the things they carried along the way into the new house. The move-in of the Zhang family also attracted people from Qianshui Village to watch.
This village does not have the same surnames and clans, but a village with mixed surnames. This is why Lao Zhangtou was finally willing to spend more money to settle here.
As newcomers to the village, they will not be squeezed out. Although everyone is not familiar with them at first, their family's character will definitely be recognized by the indigenous people of Qianshui Village. Ten days later, the Zhang family joined the autumn harvest team. In the past, Liu Yuan and other people hired short-term workers to harvest in the autumn. Now the Zhang family has bought these fields, but with their few strong laborers, they can't finish the harvest in a while, so for When the day laborers came to his door, Mr. Zhang decided that he would also hire day laborers to reclaim the land.
“The autumn harvest waits for no one. If it rains, the food in the fields will be ruined. We have been fleeing the famine all the way. Although we will not go hungry, there is not much food to eat. Food, the body has not recovered yet.
If you work hard, you will inevitably get the root of the disease. You are still young and you will not realize it when you are my age.
< br>
So this year we hired people for the autumn harvest. We collected copper coins a day. Those who did a good job and did it neatly would come back tomorrow. Those who cheated, cheated and bullied us would not come here, and we would not hire him again in the future.
We don't cause trouble, and we can't be afraid of trouble. If we can't stand up this time, people from Qianshui Village will step on us in the future, and we won't be able to survive this life. "
After hearing this, Lianyi silently praised Lao Zhangtou in his heart, otherwise he would say that people become mature with age.
After the general tone was set, the thoughts of the Zhang family It's time for the autumn harvest, and the Zhang family has four strong laborers, even a young man can help. Plus, with the day laborers, no one dares to do anything.
On the contrary, it was Song Dachuan. Here at home, there is only one strong laborer, Song Dachuan, Huiniang and Lianyi are both women, and the tiger's cub is only a little bigger, so some people with evil intentions come to work part-time to help harvest wheat, hoping to make some coins.
After Lianyi finished cutting a bunch of wheat, she saw that the few men who came to do part-time work had only cut less than half a bunch of wheat. They were not even as good as a woman like herself. She didn't say anything and went directly to give the bones of the four men. He unloaded it and threw it to the ground, letting the people in Qianshui Village come and see that there was a scoundrel who wanted to lie on the ground of their house to earn copper coins.
These four grown men seemed to be paralyzed. They lay on the ground unable to even move a finger and started crying. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to them. After all, these people's little thoughts, as fellow villagers, How could the villagers not know this? They all despised them, scolded them for being embarrassing, and kicked the iron plate.
"Don't howl here. Do you think our family members are easy to bully? Don't go to Feng Xiaoqi to inquire. He has half the credit for killing the barbarians!"
Then Ripples simply I no longer care about these people, and let them be admired over and over again by the passing villagers. They are also thrown straws and stones by the children playing in the field. They are exposed to the sun for another day. When the sun sets, the ripples are picked up by these people again. Pick up the bones, throw a copper plate into each person, and let the four people get out.
After these four people were able to move, they didn't even dare to take the copper coins. They rolled and crawled back home. They lay at home for three days before they felt no pain in their bodies. But later, their bones all over their bodies They are easily dislocated and are as fragile as pieces of paper.
After Lianyi showed such a trick, no one dared to go to their land to mix copper coins anymore. The people who came to work as part-time workers were also people who had difficulties at home but worked hard. These people can get wages every day. He also knew that the Song Dachuan family was reasonable, so he worked harder and harder and finished harvesting the ten acres of grain early.
After the autumn harvest, the Zhang family held a housewarming banquet. They invited the village chief and the respected elderly people from Qianshui Village, plus a few well-spoken and well-characterized women, and it was a lively party. After a long ceremony, it can be regarded as informing the people of Qianshui Village that they have officially settled down.
The Maodong and Chinese New Year are coming soon. Since they just arrived in Qianshui Village today, the Song Dachuan family’s plan to build a house has been postponed until after the spring plowing of next year. By that time, everyone has finished the work in the fields and the labor force There is enough to build the house before the autumn harvest, and the family can move into the new house when winter comes.
This is something that Song Dachuan's family has been looking forward to for a long time. Lianyi drew the house pattern himself, focusing not on novelty and uniqueness, but on practicality.
Then she didn't go out much throughout the winter, just to heal the scars on her face. (End of chapter)
