The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 73 No.70
At the entrance of Dali Village, a group of villagers were discussing a lot. Their village head just brought everyone news: the villages of Dali, Qingzao, and Hongguo have changed their masters.

In these three villages, 50.00% of the households live on the more than 900 mu of high-quality farmland. The nearly [-] mu of fertile land is divided into three Zhuangzi. Because they belong to the same owner, the Zhuangzi are very close. Everyone exchanged information very smoothly.

Although the annual rent is not cheap, the land of these three villages is very fertile, and everyone's life is better than other villages.

According to the names of these villages, in addition to the land, they also have hundreds of acres of mountain forests, where pears, dates, and red fruit trees are planted. Every year, the host family will invite these tenant farmers to help pick them, which is another income.

Suddenly, it was time to change masters, and everyone was very nervous:

"Have you found out the origin of the new master's house? Is it an official or a merchant?"

"I don't know, the village chief has stuffed 5 taels of silver, and I didn't find out, but was notified by the housekeeper sent by the former owner."

"I also asked to find some daughter-in-laws to tidy up the big house in the village. It must be tidy. It seems that the new owner is not easy."

"What we are most worried about is those contracts. Don't raise the rent anymore. There has been little rain in the past two years, and our life is really difficult."

"Yes, yes, yes! This is the most important thing, but don't make new rules as soon as you come here."

In the mud yard rented by the old Yuan’s family, Mrs. Ma listened to the gossip at the entrance of the village for a long time before returning home, and worriedly said to the old Yuan who was still polishing the small bowl: “Old man, I heard that the village here will be replaced. The master's house is gone, shall we still rent it?"

Old Yuan didn't raise his head, and said for a long time: "Wait a minute, there are quite a few households renting land in this village. When the new owner comes, if the rent remains the same, let's rent a 4-acre land. Anyway, we There are all crafts, so you don’t have to worry about running out of food.”

Mrs. Ma nodded: "The people here are all wheat growers. It is said that the land is fertile. The yield per mu is 3 shi, which is much more fertile than the land in Sichuan."

"Otherwise, how can the high-quality farmland here be sold for 35 taels per mu? The 20 taels per mu of high-quality farmland in Sichuan is not just bought casually. There is a reason why it is expensive."

Looking at the two daughters-in-law who were making dinner, Mrs. Ma's stomach was full, and her heart was full of enthusiasm. Her old Yuan's life was going to be prosperous.

The third father can now earn three or four taels of silver every month, and the family's expenses are not large. He raises some chickens and ducks, and grows a la carte. This year, he will rent some more fertile land to earn back his rations. This day should not be too beautiful.

On the concrete official road, five carriages drove up, and there was a child's voice in the carriage: "Father, I'm going to see grandma soon! I miss them so much!"

"There are also parents-in-law, uncles, brother Xiaoshan and brother Xiaochuan!"

"I brought gifts for everyone. I guarantee that they will like those shells and conchs. They are fished in the sea!"

"Understood, this is the wish of our two heads, they will definitely like it." Mr. Yuan Qian echoed, thinking about the surprise the family members would have when they saw them.

The carriage drove into the mansion, and the house, which had been sorted out in half a day, opened its doors to welcome the new owner.This house is the closest to Dali Village, not far from Zaozi Village and Hongguo Village.

"Wow, Auntie, this house is so big, it's bigger than the place we used to live in!" Xiaocao exclaimed, this house can accommodate everyone in the family!
Isn’t that right, a courtyard house with three entrances and three exits, the gate is on the right, and on the left is a row of inverted houses, and when the door is opened, there is a screen wall.There are three front yard rooms in the first entrance, and the second entrance is very spacious, with three wing rooms on the left and right, separated by independent flower walls and circular arches.

The three main rooms are spacious, and there is a row of back rooms behind. The overall layout of this house is very square, and there are complete sets of furniture inside, and most of the wood is huanghuali.The couple looked at each other, how much would it cost to put it in modern times, it was really a billionaire mansion.

I chose the room on the right side of the main house to settle down, leaving the middle and left side for Lao Yuan and his wife to choose. In this situation where the family is not divided, it is not easy for them to live in the wing room as family members?

Mr. Fan also came to the village. The old man refused the new emperor's invitation and was happy to continue to be the tutor of the Yuan family. He took the old servant and guards directly to the front yard without being polite.

It was arranged for Ding Jia and Mrs. Li in the inverted room. Lu Xiuniang brought her daughter and sister Yuan to temporarily live in the left wing courtyard. Of course, the right wing was reserved for Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao San's family. Everyone still doesn't know the two brothers at this time. They have already married, and the back room is a large kitchen and warehouse.

The mother's family has made good arrangements. Isn't this piece of land belonged to the daughter's family? The foundation is laid out and repaired casually.

After everyone settled down a bit, Cuihua's family of four and sister Yuan took Xiaocao to the village on foot, led by a guard sent by the empress. It was very close, less than 10 minutes away.

"Grandpa Yuan, Grandpa Yuan, you have a distinguished guest!" A group of children came to the courtyard gate and shouted.

Before everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, two little calves had already galloped in.

"Master, Lord! Your precious little grandson is back! Hahaha." Old man Yuan was so surprised that he put his arms around his two grandsons, and looked up to see his eldest son, his wife and his eldest daughter.

Wiping the corners of his eyes, he didn't know what to say, "Eat, have you eaten?" trembling.

"Father, we're back, we've already eaten!" Hei Wa supported the old man to sit down, a group of people asked questions in one go, and the two sisters-in-law of the Yuan family also came up to say hello to their elder brother and sister-in-law, and it was lively.

Father Hu's family also rushed to hear the news, and his house was only a few houses away, so the response was very fast.

"My in-laws, my in-laws, is my daughter back?" Father Hu strode in with a blushing face.

Cuihua went up to greet her: "Father, we are all back, neat and tidy!"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Cuihua and wanted to hit her twice. How long have they been waiting for this?When she came back, she saw her belly with sharp eyes, and her joy increased to a higher level: "Is she pregnant again?" Seeing her daughter nodding, she slapped her hands and smiled and said, "This is really good news, many children and many children!" Fu!"

Xiaocao looked at her father, and the stepmother who was next to his father, her eyes were red when she saw the pregnancy portrait, it was obvious that it was a reunion, why did she want to cry so much?
Hu Sanniu was at a loss, looking at his daughter with red eyes, he didn't know how to explain.Qian Alan held Xiaocao's hand generously: "Girl, we're home, your father misses you, the family has prepared a new bed for you, we mother and daughter will get along slowly in the future, what can mother do?" No, just say it directly."

Cuihua and her mother whispered, "How is the new daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Zhang said cheerfully: "It's much better than the previous one. He's very capable. She's pregnant and doesn't miss out on housework. Your third brother is finally not blind this time."

It seems that because the strength of the control group is too weak, the satisfaction value of the new wife and mother is very high. However, it takes time to see people's hearts, so there is no rush.
