Chapter 4 The "New" House
With the notarization of the village head, Mei Berry and the hostess each received two taels of silver, one mu of paddy field, two mu of dry land, plus ten catties of wheat and fifty catties of corn after they separated.

After that, the village chief didn't care about the allocation of some pots, pans and pans, and let them go home to clean up by themselves.

But Old Man Mei and the others were also furious. After dividing the money and the land deed in front of the village chief, he threatened to tell them to go back and pack up and get out of the old house.

Looking at it like this, the Mei family doesn't want to take the two of them in tonight.

But at this moment, there were not many people in the crowd who were watching the excitement, complaining about Mei Berry and their two families because of old man Mei's actions.

Wei Meili, who was standing in the crowd and didn't step forward, could see this clearly.

These days, who doesn't have a few brothers living with the old man?

Even though there are quite a few people who know that Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Mei are eccentric or something, but with their fingers being long or short, none of them would dare to say that their home is level with a bowl of water?

If they all split up at the slightest disagreement like Lao Mei's, would they still have to live together?

Therefore, for old man Mei and the others to drive people away directly after they separated, many people in the village felt that it was reasonable, and they would have driven people out if they were so angry.

When the spectators dispersed, the hostess also took the opportunity to ask the village chief if there were any free houses in the village to live in temporarily.

Even if the homestead is applied immediately, building a house will not be completed in a day. They urgently need the existing house to live in, and then move in after building a new house.

The village head, Wu Youcai, was not unreasonable, and that was what he wanted to say.

He mentioned two houses, one at the head of the village and one at the end of the village.

One is an adobe house that has been in disrepair for a long time, and the other is an Orion wooden house near the back mountain where wild animals occasionally come and go.

Mei Berry remembered that in the original novel, the heroine’s family chose the wooden house at the end of the village near the back mountain, so she planned to remind her father to choose the house at the head of the village, but her father was obviously faster than her.

And he also took the initiative to choose the adobe house at the head of the village.

After hearing this, the village head added: "The house has not been lived in for many years, although the quality of the house is not satisfactory...but the land is good. If we build a new house on it in the future, it will be much better to tidy up."

The dilapidated adobe house at the head of the village, Mei Youqian, has memories in his body. The previous owner was also assigned to Jinshui Village after his relatives died because of the disaster in his hometown.

After getting married, he took his wife to other places to do business and never returned. The people who came back from the village many years later brought back the news that the owner of the house had died and his wife had remarried.

Even if the place is close to the stream at the entrance of the village, the terrain is high, and there is a bamboo forest behind the house, it is indeed a good place as the village chief said if it is cleaned up properly.

But people in the village are superstitious that the house is unlucky, the occupants are not of good status, and there is no good death in the end, so the house has been abandoned since then.

"It's not expensive to go to the town to apply for that piece of land..."

After the village chief finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the expression on Mei Youqian's face, and Mei Berry also secretly glanced at the village chief over there. She was quite confused. The village chief said so much. So you still don't want to live there?

"Thank you, the village chief. When the days are settled, the boy will come to thank the village chief."

Mei Youqian didn't immediately agree to come down to live there and then choose a new address to build a house. Wu Youcai didn't say much about it, but let them go home and clean up, don't make any more troubles, and live a good life.

What happened in their old Mei's house today is enough for the village name in Jinshui Village to chat for a while on weekdays.

After dividing the family property and confirming the new address, Mei Youqian proudly took the three of them back to Mei's old house to prepare for the move.

As a result, when they returned to the Mei family's old house, they found that the door was closed.

The baggage they had packed before had been thrown outside, including the dozens of catties of grain.

Although the baggage looks piled up now, the ashes rolling on it can tell how it came out.

Looking at the hostess's house with the same baggage piled up outside, what else can't be seen?
Miao, who was guarding the luggage of the two families, was restless. When she saw her husband, daughter, and the second bedroom family all came back, her eyes turned red, she opened her mouth, and spoke in a voice comparable to a mosquito's snoring.

Anyway, Mei Berry didn't hear what she was saying, but Mei Sanma heard it clearly, and helped Mrs. Miao and everyone explain that Mrs. Zhang came back and called Dafang and the others to help "move".

Huh, that's quite euphemistic.

Isn't it just sweeping the floor out?

Mei Youqian felt that the Mei family's narrow-minded behavior was due to their ability.

He looked up at the gradually rising sun, and took the initiative to step forward to carry the two burdens that the family of three barely got together with food and walked directly towards his new home.

But before leaving here completely, Wei Meili still remembered the leek box that her daughter was thinking about.

She asked Mei Youqian to tidy up the luggage in one step, and she called Miao, who was in the third room, to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden behind the old house.

As the heroine Mei You who traveled through time from the end of the world, she is absolutely obsessed with food. When she heard that she was talking about picking vegetables, she also went to see them.

Seeing this, Mei Berry naturally followed.

Seeing Meiberry following, Wei Meimei stared at Meiberry, which looked like a bean sprout, and said, "Don't move around, sit down under that tree."

Her daughter's figure is too abusive now. She is not as tall as an eight-year-old at the age of 12.

She was so sallow and thin that she couldn't bear to let her go to work in the field.

Although Mei Berry didn't intend to go to the field, but her mother's words were too fast, so she followed her mother's words and walked to the door of the vegetable field and sat down in the shade under the locust tree.

Then, seeing Wei Meili, she began to harvest leeks, the goal of her trip.

"Erya, third brother and sister, look at how beautiful the spring vegetables grow in the vegetable garden! This is all thanks to you and me, and we deserve the division of the family!"

Not only leeks, but also the Chinese cabbage on the side is also very gratifying.

Wei Meili kept moving her hands, and she also spoke a lot: "Third brother and sister, look at how tender these cabbage are growing, it's very fresh to make a pot of hand-rolled noodles this evening, adding a handful of cabbage!

Or fried is also delicious!And look at how tender this leek is, the first stubble leek in spring is delicious!I'm going to make leek boxes for my daughter tonight, how about you, third brother and sister? "

"It's all right, I haven't made up my mind yet..." Miao's voice was still small, but it was also filled with excitement and anticipation.

"It doesn't matter if you don't think about it. It's all thanks to you and me that these vegetables can grow, and we deserve it!"

Wei Meili said "You and I are credited" and said "We deserve it" like brainwashing, and successfully made Miao's soft bun and the fresh and brilliant heroine who is not clear about the situation but is very greedy in front of her eyes active .

As a result, Miao's and Mei You's actions became more and more fierce.

Seeing this, Mei Berry always felt that they were not picking vegetables.

Whose picking vegetables is the same as digging someone's ancestral grave?
