Steamed buns, go farming with your mother

Chapter 55 Buying the Bamboo Forest
Mrs. Wang thought for a while and said, "Let's get up here. Clear up the open space next to our house. It's the biggest piece of land! Besides... we moved, and Zhi'er can't find us when he comes back..." Mrs. Wang The voice behind was very low, but Su Ho still heard it.

"Well, mother, let's get up here. However, we built our house in the bamboo forest. Firstly, it is clean, and secondly, it is relatively hidden in the bamboo forest. If something happens, we can also fight for us. The time is not!" Su Ho thought for a while and said to Wang Shi.

In fact, Su Ho didn't expect that Mrs. Wang would agree to go back to live in the village. She knew that Mrs. Wang still hoped that her son would come back in her heart.Su Ho originally considered persuading Mrs. Wang to move back to the village, but when she came to the village, she would be driven crazy by the trivial matters of the parents every day. I won't be so lonely, I can have someone to talk with, but when I think of returning to the village, the villagers must be very curious about the way I get rich quickly, and I will definitely try my best to figure it out, then there will be no more secrets in my family.Moreover, there are good and bad people in the village, and the leek is still so small, like a piece of white paper, Su Ho is afraid that the people in the village will lead him to ruin.

After much deliberation, Su Ho thinks that he should build a new house outside the village. Su Ho is familiar with a place here. Besides, Su Ho is also reluctant to part with his own vegetable garden. After two years of maintenance, his own vegetable garden It is also very fat, and the vegetables grown are growing well.

Now that the decision has been made, Suho acted quickly.

Su Ho packed up his things, took a small piece of bacon, filled a small jar of sauerkraut, carried it out the door, told Mrs. Wang, and then entered the village. Along the way, he chatted with familiar people in the village. He greeted each other with a warm smile on his face all the time.

"Zhi's daughter-in-law!" a woman called out.Su Ho took a closer look and saw that it was Third Aunt Qian.

At this moment, Third Aunt Qian took out the corn cobs while the sun was shining, and broke off the corn kernels at the door. Seeing Su Ho coming from a distance with something, she yelled.

Ever since they met at Pan's family during New Year's cakes last time, the Qian family and Su He's family have been close. When the third aunt is free, she will take her little grandson with her when the Wang family is free. Go to Soho's to play.The little grandson of the Qian family is also five years old, the age at which cats and dogs would hate him. Every time he went to Su Ho's house, he would hold on to the sheep, making the Su Ho family's sheep hide when they saw the child.

"Third Aunt, have you finished confiscating all your land?" Su Ho asked enthusiastically: "My mother originally said that she was helping the big guys, but, as you know, my family set up a stall in the town. There's another child, I can't leave..."

Third Aunt Qian took Su Ho's hand and said, "Look at what you said, our two families have known each other for more than a day or two, and we all know about your family's situation, so why would we take it to heart..."

"By the way, I seldom see you in the village on weekdays. Is there something wrong today?" Third Aunt asked, and she was telling the truth.Su Ho's family is outside Treading Bu. Although they have to go into the town to set up a stall every morning, they don't need to pass through Tshuibu Village to enter the town. It's fine on weekdays, and the Su Ho family seldom enters the village.

"You are carrying something, you are going to your Aunt Pan's house! Besides, you have something to do with your Uncle Pan, right!" Third Aunt Qian said looking at the things in Su Ho's hand.Every time Su Ho went to the village, he always went to Pan's house.

Su Ho grabbed Third Aunt Qian's arm and said with a smile, "Third Aunt, you are so wise!" Su Ho picked up the things in his hand and said, "I have entered the village this time, and I really need to find something. Where is my Uncle Pan! When the time comes, I’m afraid I’ll ask my third uncle for help!”

Just as he was talking, Pan Ming's voice came out: "He'er, what do you need from me? Seeing that you are carrying big and small bags, there must be a lot to do. Come into the house with me!"

Pan Ming nodded to Third Aunt Qian, and walked into the Pan family without saying a word. Although the relationship between the Pan family and the Qian family was good, it was very difficult for Pan Ming to talk to Third Aunt Qian without Uncle Qian present. It is easy to provoke criticism.

After Su Ho said goodbye to Third Aunt Qian, he trotted a few steps and followed Pan Ming's footsteps into Pan's house.

In the yard, Yu Yueyue was playing games with Xiao Miner, who was already three years old. She saw Pan Ming come in and said hello, and then she saw Su Ho who came in, greeted Su Ho with a smile, and then turned to Pan Miner Said: "Min'er, look who is here, call someone!"

Pan Min'er, who was following Yu Yueyue, raised her face and called out sweetly, "Hello, Aunt Su, did you bring something delicious for Min'er?"

When Yu Yueyue heard this, she patted Pan Min'er's small shoulder and scolded her.It doesn't matter if Su Ho keeps saying that it doesn't matter. To be honest, Su Ho likes Pan Min'er from the bottom of his heart. Yu Yueyue is a more particular woman who loves to be clean. Not only does she keep herself clean, her husband Pan Mu , daughter Pan Sen is also neat and tidy, the couple looks not bad, Pan Miner also passed on the advantages of the two, young age, pink and tender, so Pan Miner is very popular in Treading Water.

Su Ho took out two sweet potato candies from his small pouch and handed them to Pan Miner. The colorful candy wrapper made Pan Miner's eyes light up instantly.

Pan Ming looked at Su Ho and Yu Yueyue exchanging greetings, but he didn't urge him, but Su Ho felt embarrassed, talked to Yu Yueyue, and went to find Pan Ming.

The two sat in the yard in early autumn, the warm sun was shining, Pan Ming moved a bunch of corn cobs and piled them in the frame, breaking them, Su Ho gave the things in his hand to Yu Yueyue, and also took a corn cob , Breaking off the corn kernels, it took a while for Su Ho to explain to Pan Ming why he came.

"It's easy!" Pan Ming put down the corncob in his hand, "Tell me about the foundation of the house, and then we'll go through a procedure in the town and have a record at the town government office. As for The fee is five hundred for less than one mu, one thousand for more than one mu and less than two mu, the more land you occupy, the more fees you have to pay!"

Pan Ming stood up, patted the corn dust on his body, and said to Su Ho, "Let's go!"

Su Ho was taken aback for a moment, not understanding where Pan Ming was going. Only after seeing Pan Ming take out a tape measure from under the eaves did he realize that he was going to measure the foundation.Su Ho got up quickly, patted the dust off his body, and followed Pan Ming out of the Pan's mansion.

Pan Ming stood in the bamboo forest, looked around, and said, "The place you chose is not bad!"

This bamboo forest covers a very large area. It extends to the foot of another mountain beside the courtyard of Su Ho's house. The mountain behind it is gentle, but after crossing the bamboo forest, the mountain becomes steeper.The bamboo in the bamboo forest grows so tall and dense that hundreds of Tibetans can't see it at all. What's more, the lighting in the bamboo forest is very good, and it faces south from the north.

"Uncle, look, I want to buy this piece of bamboo forest, can I?" Su Ho looked at Pan Ming and asked.

Regarding this plan, Su Ho only remembered it now. This bamboo forest covers a vast area, with mountains and rivers behind it, and the scenery is pretty good.

Pan Ming took a deep look at Su Ho, finally showing a smile on his face, and said hehe: "It's possible, but I'm afraid the land is more than one mu, it's close to two mu, and you have to pay a fee of one thousand Wen. Can your family... afford it? If you pay this fee, do you have any money left to start a house?"

Su Ho lowered his head to think, and Pan Ming waited patiently beside him. In the end, Su Ho said: "Uncle, I want to buy this land, but I'm afraid there won't be enough money to build a house later. I want to borrow some from you, I don’t know if it’s okay!”

In fact, according to the savings of the Su Ho family, the money for building a house after buying the land can be taken out. However, for unnecessary trouble, Su Ho decided to borrow some money from the Pan family first, and then slowly pay back the money. .She knew that for a family with only two wives, she would be on the cusp of building a new house. If someone had malicious intentions, her family would have no way to resist, so she could find an excuse to borrow some money. For the villagers, it was easier to pass away.

Suho didn't notice another mountain top, the man sat on a chair and added a stone table next to it, and put a jug of wine on the table, drinking for himself, but his eyes were looking at Suho who was standing by the edge of the bamboo forest .Today's Su Ho is wearing a light blue cotton dress, which looks more pure against the backdrop of the green bamboo forest.

The man watched Su Ho and Pan Ming talking by the bamboo forest. He knew that Pan Ming was the village head of Tieshuibu. Seeing the tape measure in Pan Ming's hand, the man guessed that Su Ho was planning to build a new house.

In the past two years, the man has never left Treading Port. Occasionally, when the money is not enough, he will go to the mountains to hunt, and then sell it in the town.

Pan Ming seemed to know that Su Ho would say this, so he agreed without thinking about it, and said that there was no rush to pay back the money.

After a lot of work, sure enough, this bamboo forest covers an area of ​​less than two acres. Su He and Pan Ming returned to the Wang family's yard first.Mrs. Wang had already boiled water, and made him a pot of mint tea made by Su He himself.

Su Ho went into the room and counted ten coins and handed them to Pan Ming. In addition, he also took out one hundred coins and stuffed them into Pan Ming's hands, saying it was money for running errands for Pan Ming.

"Girl, are you treating Uncle Pan as an outsider?" Pan Ming took out the one hundred Wen and put it on the table.

Su Ho smiled, and handed one hundred Wen to Pan Ming, and said, "Uncle, I will only give you one hundred Wen if I don't treat you as an outsider, but if I treat you as an outsider, it will be more than two hundred Wen. Uncle, I I have inquired about it, this errand fee is a statute, and the fee I pay is relatively small, if you don’t charge it, you will treat us as outsiders!"

On the other side, Mrs. Wang also chimed in, saying that Pan Ming had to accept it no matter what.

In the end, Pan Ming took the money and left.
