Chapter 53
"Besides, after two months, I still need help from the village to harvest beans. The village head will buy me some rice noodles and steamed buns, and treat everyone to a home-cooked meal!"

Xie Wenjing's sincere attitude made Village Chief Li blushed and accepted the 20 taels of silver.

After the matter of the Li Family Ancestral Hall was settled, Xie Wenjing relaxed a lot.The group left the Li Family Ancestral Hall and returned to Hangzhou.

"Wen Jing, third uncle never thought that you would be so capable! Those villagers like you very much!"

The third uncle was a little ashamed. Speaking of which, he was also an elder, but after he came out, he was not as quick and capable as Wen Jing.Ashamed!

"Third Uncle, it's different. You can study for fame and become an official, but Wen Jing can't. Although this place is not worth our money, it is still a place for us to stay."

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Wen Jing, can you please keep it a secret, and don't tell that old woman about the [-] mu of land in the Li Family Ancestral Hall?"

Xie Wenjing's precious request.

"Well, the third uncle knows, Wen Jing, you can no longer say that she is an old woman, should you call her grandma or grandma, lest it becomes a habit, and if people listen to it, your reputation will be ruined!"

The third uncle also reminded Xie Wenjing that her words were inappropriate.

Xie Wenjing was taken aback, then nodded: "Thank you third uncle, I understand, I will always call her grandmother."

The third uncle's words were out of good intentions and necessary. Although he wanted to tear up that grandmother, even if he really had the opportunity to tear her up, he would call her grandmother while tearing it up.

When they arrived in Hangzhou and passed a crop shop, Xie Wenjing asked the third uncle and the others to wait for him. Xie Wenjing knew that this shop was called Tangjia Farm Shop.

Among the shops operated by Tangjia Farm in Hangzhou, it can only be regarded as a small shop, and the location is a little remote, not on the main street of Hangzhou.

But he didn't know who was behind him, and there were a lot of crops and seeds.The quantity is also sufficient, even in the next few years, this small shop will have what it wants.

Moreover, this Tangjia farm shop has branches in Yangzhou and Jinling. Not only soybeans, but also rice seeds and wheat seeds are abundant here.Later, the prince bought corn and sweet potatoes from other countries, and some of them were sold here.

Sure enough, in this shop called Tangjia Nongpu, Xie Wenjing bought all the soybean seeds and rice grains she needed in one go.

For rice planting, Xie Wenjing bought [-] mu at once, because the south of the Yangtze River will be seriously short of rice planting in the next few years, and the [-] mu of paddy fields in her family will save the grain for eight years.

Although Xie Wenjing also knows that after her family's next season's rice harvest, she can also choose to grow grain, but Xie Wenjing still feels that it is not wrong to buy more grain.

At this time, the rice seed grains sold by merchants are still relatively cheap, less than half the price of rice on the market.

Now the price of rice has risen to 3 cents per catty. When the price was low in the past, it was as low as [-] penny per catty.Even if it goes up, the highest is only two pennies.

Now that the snowstorm is severe, the price of rice has risen to three pennies a catty.As for the grain of rice, it is now two cents a catty.

Generally, one mu of land needs one catty of rice seeds, and [-] catties of rice seeds, Xie Wenjing spent one, two or six is ​​enough.Soybean seeds are less expensive than rice seeds. One catty costs one penny, and one mu of land needs forty catties of bean seeds.Xie Wenjing spent four taels of silver on one hundred acres of beans, and a total of five taels of silver.

Xie Wenjing is very satisfied, the future profits from this amount of money will be enough to support her family through the next few years of disasters and expand the business, Xie Wenjing no longer has such thoughts.

The business in the previous life was so big, but as a result, his parents were miserable, his younger brother was a dude, and his accidental demise made brother Xu tired.

In this life, it is enough to be able to take care of your parents, discipline your younger brother, and have enough food and clothing.

If the business really expands, it will be unavoidable to be entangled by the downtrodden Xie family, and the Zhao family will definitely not break the engagement, it's better as simple as this.

After buying these goods, Xie Wenjing made an appointment with the other party to pick them up in two days.

After the group returned to Du's house, they did not tell Du's grandfather that they had bought a courtyard and field at the Li Family Ancestral Hall at the foot of Fajing Temple.On the way back, Xie Wenjing made an agreement with the third uncle, and after she told her parents, her mother would come forward and tell her grandfather about it.

"Father, mother, it's done. The Li Family Ancestral Hall is very close to Fajing Temple. The place is very clean, and the villagers in the Li Family Ancestral Hall are also very honest. We will be very relieved to live there. Also, the seller is connected He also sold his [-] mu of paddy field to me, and I bought it for ten taels of silver per mu, father and mother, if we don’t go back to Yangzhou in the future, we will just live there like this, it’s simple, it should be very easy.”

Xie Wenjing carefully described everything that happened today, including the beans and rice seeds she bought, and how much money she spent.

"In this case, Juan'er, please make it clear to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't make them sad. The third brother and the others will indeed feel uncomfortable living here. Besides, when we came, we agreed to go to Fajing Temple to pray. Now we live in the village below the Fajing Temple Mountain, and we can maintain the face of the Xie family. The face of the stepmother cannot be torn away for the time being. The second brother is a dutiful son. If he embarrasses his mother, he will remember today if he goes to high school in the future. embarrassing."

Xie Chengyu explained to his wife apologetically. It can be seen that his wife is very happy to live in Du's house. After all, Du's house is his wife's natal family, and he loves his wife's natal family very much.

It's just that my daughter is thoughtful, and my family has a place that really belongs to me, so my heart is still relaxed and at ease.

Xie's house in Yangzhou, that's not my home, as long as there is a stepmother, it won't be.Although the Du family is good, it is inevitable that they feel like they are dependent on others.

To have a home that really belongs to you, no matter how small or simple, it is a place where you can rely on your body and mind.

"That's the only way to go. However, these few days, the doctor will come to see you every day. We will move there when you feel better, okay?"

Du Juan felt a little bit reluctant to leave Du's house, but what the husband told his daughter was right, it should be good to have a small family that really belongs to him.

That night, when the grandfather and the others learned that their granddaughter had bought a farmyard in the village below Fajing Temple, they were sad for a while, but fortunately Xie Wenjing could coax them.

"Grandfather, grandmother, we live under the Fajing Temple. With the Buddha as our neighbor, my father's health will definitely recover soon. My younger brother will also be able to read well. How can the Buddha and our family also be neighbors? !Yes or no?"

Xie Wenjing's words provoked the grandfather and grandmother couldn't help laughing.

"You girl, you are talking nonsense, but the Buddha must be respected in your heart!"
