Jin Liangyu

Chapter 219 Buying land and building a house
When Jin Sheng came over, he happened to hear the Yang family's father and son talking. He stepped forward and said hello: "Lao Yang!"

"Hey, which fragrant wind blew you here?"

"East wind."

"People say northwest wind, but how did it become east wind here?"

"I only owe the east wind, do you remember?"

After hearing Jin Sheng's explanation, Village Chief Yang knew that Jin Sheng wanted to see him for something. He was not a Moji person either, so he immediately asked: "Is something wrong?"

The codes matched, and Jin Sheng told him about relatives who wanted to settle here.

"It's not difficult to settle down, but there is no idle land in our village right now."

“There’s always a wasteland!”

"There are wastelands, but they are all wastelands. Will your relatives be happy with them?"

“How much does one acre of wasteland cost?”

"The wasteland north of Zhou Dalang's yard is worth one tael of silver per acre and is tax-free for three years."

When Village Chief Yang said this, he felt a little unsure. Afraid that Jinsheng would run against him and "demand money", he offered to make up for it, "Buy ten acres of wasteland to add to the one-acre land, and then give him a homestead."

After Village Chief Yang finished speaking, he looked at Jin Sheng eagerly.

"To the west is the forest, and to the east is the official road?"

Village Chief Yang wants to go next to the official road, but that's not the price. But he thought about it, if he didn't sell it to relatives of the Jin family today, he wouldn't know which grandson it would be given to at a cheaper price in the future.

At least if I sell it to a relative of the Jin family, Jin Sheng will be kind to him. If there is any big or small incident in the village in the future, with relatives around, Jin Sheng will be obliged to help, so he happily agreed.

Jin Sheng didn't expect Village Chief Yang to agree so readily, so he said, "I will go back now and ask my relatives to come and let them decide how many acres to buy."

"Okay, look after it and then come find me."

The matter was settled, Village Chief Yang and his family continued harvesting, and Jin Sheng rode back to the mountain.

Tang Hu and Mr. Liang had breakfast, walked and talked by the river, and were also waiting for Jin Sheng to come back.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, the two brothers knew that Jin Sheng was back without turning around.

"How's it going?" Before Jin Sheng could get off his horse, Mr. Liang couldn't help but ask.

Jin Sheng dismounted and told the two elders the good news: "Village Chief Yang promised to settle the village, but there is no extra land in the village."

Jin Sheng then explained the matter of reclaiming wasteland to the two elders in detail.

Tang Hu thought it was feasible, so Mr. Liang said, "Let's go and take a look first. My second brother is making plans."

"Row."

Jin Sheng rode a horse, and Zhou Erlang drove the carriage to take the Tang family to see the wasteland.

When the group of people came out of the valley, they saw Shangyang Village not far away filled with smoke and smoke.

There were people harvesting crops in the fields, there were children running around in front of and behind the houses, there were also sounds of chickens crowing, dogs barking, and a woman scolding her children.

It was the first time that Tang Qingqing and Tang Cheng approached such a village. Both siblings looked curiously at a woman chasing a boy about the same age as Tang Cheng.

The boy cried very loudly, but this did not slow down his escape at all.

The two short legs were stretched tightly, and the woman behind kept yelling and cursing loudly, but none of her raised hands fell on the boy. Soon the siblings figured out the secret. Tang Cheng smiled and rubbed Lu's arm, saying, "Mom, when I make you angry, you beat me like this."

Lu didn't speak, but the corners of her pursed lips betrayed her good mood.

Mrs. Qiu and her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, were looking around secretly, wondering if there were any girls of the right age in the village. The two boys in the eldest house were both old enough to marry.

Tang Hu and his two sons kept looking at the wasteland, which was overgrown with weeds and grew luxuriantly.

The father and son looked at each other and already had a plan in mind.

"It is said that the land here is fertile, and today it is indeed well-deserved." Tang Zheng's eyes were bright, and his words made his father and brothers feel comfortable. "Dad, let's buy thirty acres. At least thirty acres, otherwise I think we'll be at a bit of a loss."

"Okay, we will listen to you."

The Tang family still doesn't know what a right choice they made today by purchasing the thirty acres of wasteland without hesitation.

After breakfast the next day, the Tang family, led by Tang Hu, went to level the newly purchased wasteland yesterday in order to find a high ground to build a yard.

The family is very satisfied with this piece of wasteland, which is adjacent to the official road on one side and the mountains on the other. No matter how you look at it, your heart is open.

Mr. Liang also slowly followed behind to help Chang Yan. Tang Hu was unable to choose between the two areas he was optimistic about, so he asked his elder brother to help him come up with ideas.

"Brother, I think the side of the road is pretty good, and I also think the side at the foot of the mountain is also pretty good..."

Although Tang Hu was usually vigorous and resolute, in front of his sworn brother, he became the one who had no idea.

Mr. Liang also sincerely considered this brother, "If my family doesn't open a store, I won't advocate living on the side of the road." When Mr. Liang looked over, Tang Hu understood what was going on.

It would be better for their family to live alone on the side of the road. This is an official policy. If you are unlucky enough to meet someone who has met Tang Hu before, he will not make the same mistake even if he thinks about it.

The eldest brother was right. Tang Hu was willing to listen to advice, so he decided to locate the yard near the foot of the mountain.

"The terrain here is high, so you don't have to worry even if it rains a few times."

"Well, brother is still thoughtful."

They chose a place here, and Jin Sheng rode to the town himself to help find the craftsmen who built the house. He just left the building of the house to those people.

The leading craftsman was a responsible man, and since Jin Sheng was there, he discussed with Tang Hu what kind of yard to build.

In the countryside, except for landlords and wealthy people, ordinary homes just have a small yard. There are three main rooms. If the family has a large population, the left and right side rooms will be built in the yard.

Tang Hu was very moved after hearing this. He is getting older day by day and will grow old soon.

Both sons are good, the two daughters-in-law are also good, and the grandchildren are also good children.

But he still understood the saying that the tree has big branches, so he told the head craftsman his plan.

"I want to build four yards in one row, one yard for our old couple, and one yard for the remaining three children."

After hearing this, Lao Hong was particularly moved. He was rescued from the wolf's mouth by his uncle, and he didn't know who his parents were.

He has been following his uncle in the mountains since he can remember. He can proudly say that neither Tang Zheng nor Tang Rong stayed on his uncle's back as long as he did.

Later, when he grew up, his uncle also married him a wife. Now he has a wife and children, all thanks to his uncle.

Even this time when my uncle's family came to Northern Xinjiang, they took him with them. Even if they wanted to build a yard, they didn't forget him.

Tang Hu saw that the circles under Lao Hong's eyes were red again, so he pretended to be impatient and said, "What's going on with you recently? You can't help but wipe your tears. You were bitten by a wolf when you were a child, and you didn't even cry for a few days."
