Chapter 70 The Deed
The county was very lively with people coming and going. Tong Zhixin's family of six stood at the entrance of the busy city, all of them were very excited.

"Let's go and buy the bowls, chopsticks and plates first," Fang Cuiwei said before heading to the porcelain shop.

Tong Duo'er said, "Mother, Zhi'er and I will go ahead and have a look," she pointed to the small stalls near the porcelain shop that sold small accessories and gadgets.Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu also said together, "Mother, let's go with eldest sister."

"Okay, okay, Nuo, take it, Duo'er, you can buy whatever you want."

Tong Duo'er took the few taels of silver handed over by Fang Cuiwei, and walked forward surrounded by Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu.

Fang Cuiwei looked at the four people's backs from a distance, Tong Zhixin said: "Come on, let's go in, Duo'er and Zhi'er will take good care of Zhu'er and Ah Fu."

"Ah."

The two entered the porcelain shop together, and the four of Tong Duo'er also looked at the small stalls selling various things.

Tong Zhu'er was very excited, looking at this and then at that.

"Candied haws, sell candied haws, delicious candied haws..."

The middle-aged man carrying candied haws yelled loudly on the street, seeing the bright red and shiny candied haws, Tong Zhuer's eyes went straight.

"Sister, I want to eat candied haws." Tong Zhu'er shook Tong Duo'er's hand, raised her head and said.

Tong Duo'er patted her head, and walked up to the middle-aged man selling candied haws, "How do you sell candied haws?"

"A string of three Wen coins."

"Give me four skewers."

The middle-aged man smiled, "Okay, girl, take it."

"Zhu'er, Zhi'er, Ah Fu," Tong Duo'er turned around and handed the candied haws she bought to her younger sisters and younger brothers one by one.

"Thank you, big sister." As soon as the candied haws came into her hands, Tong Zhu'er couldn't wait to take a bite. The sweet and sour feeling made her close her eyes comfortably.

Tong Zhi'er was biting the candied haws, watching while walking.Seeing Tong Duo'er walking to the stall of the old woman selling cloth, Tong Zhi'er greeted Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu and followed immediately.

"Grandma, how do you buy this cloth?"

"Girl, you bought it for your sweetheart. You have a good eye. This is the best material I have here."

Tong Duo'er's face flushed red.

"Sister, is it for Doctor Dong?" Tong Zhi'er whispered in Tong Duo'er's ear with a smile all over her face.

Tong Duo'er took the stuff wrapped by the old woman, stomped her feet, and ignored Tong Zhi'er's jokes.

"Second sister, what's wrong with eldest sister?"

Seeing Tong Duo'er leaving angrily, Tong Zhu'er asked nervously.

"Pearl, let me tell you, don't tell your parents."

Tong Zhuer nodded.

"Wow, Mrs. Dong is very nice. If Mrs. Dong becomes our brother-in-law, Zhu'er will agree with it."

After hearing Tong Zhi'er's words, Tong Zhu'er whispered excitedly.

Tong Zhi'er patted her head, "Well, let's help Eldest Sister well."

Tong Zhuer nodded heavily.

"Second sister and third sister, what are you two talking about?" Tong Zhaofu, who was left aside, asked eagerly.

Before Tong Zhi'er could speak, Tong Zhu'er turned around and said, "It's not convenient for a boy like you to listen to our daughter's family."

Tong Zhaofu blinked his eyes, his head drooping in depression.

"Eldest sister is waiting for us ahead, hurry up, let's follow up."

…………

When Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei bought the dishes and chopsticks and came out of the porcelain shop, several children were waiting at the door.

"What did you buy?"

"Eldest sister bought some materials, I bought some headbands, Zhu'er bought some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and Ah Fu bought a copy of "The Analects of Confucius."

Tong Zhixin's eyes lit up, "Ah Fu is going to start studying "The Analects of Confucius?"

Tong Zhaofu nodded, "When the master comes back from work, he will start to study "The Analects of Confucius". I bought it and reviewed it first, so that it will be easier to listen to when the master is giving lectures."

"Okay, Ah Fu studies hard, but don't tire yourself out." Tong Zhixin said with a look of relief.

In order to celebrate the completion of the new house, and to make up for Ah Fu, Tong Zhixin went to the vegetable market to buy some chicken, duck and pork.

Fang Cuiwei went to the place where he bought chickens and ducklings and bought some chickens and ducklings. It is now the middle of May, and although the best time for raising chickens and ducks is far away, it is still possible to raise them. , give more food and take good care of them, these chicks and ducklings can also grow well.

In the evening, under the red glow of the setting sun, Tong Zhixin's family returned home with a full load.

As soon as Fang Cuiwei returned home, she packed up a place to put the chickens and ducklings, and asked Tong Zhixin to build a fence tomorrow, which will be the house for chickens and ducks in the future.

Tong Duo'er's fourth siblings were picking vegetables at the back of the kitchen, while Tong Zhixin took a bucket to fetch water and came back. The place to fetch water was to the east of the forest, about two miles away.

After filling up the big water tank in the kitchen, Tong Zhixin changed his clothes, went to Fang's house to invite Fang Dalin and Yao Shi over for dinner, then went to Tong's house again, and secretly reported the matter to Tong Zhide. said.

Fearing that Mr. Tong would become suspicious, Tong Zhide was the only one who came to Tong Zhixin's place for dinner at night, plus Fang Dalin, Yao Shi, Fang Ruyan and the village head, there were only five guests in total.

Yao Shi and Fang Ruyan entered Tong Zhixin's house, and after sitting for a while, they went to help behind the kitchen.

Tong Zhide, Fang Dalin, the village chief and Tong Zhixin were talking in the lobby.

"Tong Laosi, your house is well built." The village head looked at it and said with a smile.

Tong Zhixin smiled, "Thanks to everyone's help."

"It's just," the village head frowned, and glanced at the woods behind the house, "Do you really want to buy this place?"

"En." Tong Zhixin nodded.

In addition to thanking the village head for his kindness, Tong Zhixin invited the village head over to buy the land of Linzi.Apart from the expenses of building the house and going to the county today, he still has five taels of silver left over, which is barely enough to buy this piece of forest.

"Hey, well, you can buy it if you want, but I'll put my ugly words in front of me. If something goes wrong, you can't make something happen and blame everyone." After all, when the family was separated, the village People have said that Tong Zhixin and others are not allowed to live in the village. If Tong Zhixin suffers accidents because he lives near the forest, it cannot be blamed on the villagers.

"Don't worry, the village chief, I will take care of everything alone."

The village head looked into his firm eyes and nodded, "Then let's go through the formalities."

Fang Dalin took out a deed to buy the land from his sleeve, asked the village head and Tong Zhixin to give his fingerprints, and then asked Tong Zhide as a witness to give his fingerprints, and finally wrote his name, and he accepted it stand up.

After dinner, the village chief left quickly, still feeling uneasy.
