Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 23 Want to Buy Land
Seeing that the daughter-in-law called out the little hoe that was staying in the elder brother's house, and took back the side house where she had lived in the east for more than [-] years, she led the daughter out of the house with confidence, and sent the three village elders back first. , just went to Lizheng's house, and saw the neat and orderly courtyard, Lan Lingxue gave a secret compliment in her heart, it really is Lizheng, although he is a small village official, he can be regarded as a leader, the conditions of this family really good,
"Aunt Li, you're at home."

After entering the house, Lan Erzhuang first greeted Li Zheng's wife,

"Hey, Er Zhuang is here. He is a rare visitor. Come in, come in."

The aunt of the Li family enthusiastically let the father and daughter into the house. The sincerity in her eyes made Lan Lingxue see that she was a simple and kind-hearted peasant grandmother, and she was definitely not the same person as her own grandmother.

"Grandma Li is good!"

Being held by Grandma Li, Lan Lingxue politely said hello,

"Hey, okay, you're so cute, Er Zhuang, your wife taught Xiao Basket really well, she looks so cute and obedient, but she likes it when she's gone."

The old lady affectionately let Lan Lingxue onto the kang, and sat side by side with her on the edge of the kang to talk.

"Old Uncle Li, I'm really bothering you today. I'm so tired of running this trip because of my business."

Seeing that there was no one else in the room except Aunt Li, Lan Erzhuang began to talk about serious business. It was not a glorious thing to be thrown out by his parents for nothing. Lan Erzhuang really didn't want too many people to know.

"What's the trouble? I'm here for nothing. I have to serve the common people too."

Looking at this funny old man, Lan Lingxue felt very close,

"Grandpa Li, thank you too, you are speaking for our family today."

Lan Lingxue raised her small face, and thanked Lizheng very earnestly. In other words, facing a grandfather in his 50s, Lan Lingxue pretended to be a little girl without any pressure.

"You little girl, you can talk."

Lizheng rubbed Lan Lingxue's little yellow hair, raised his head and looked at Lan Erzhuang, with the appearance of asking for a crime.

"Er Zhuang, tell me the truth, what is the purpose of today, do you want to separate?"

Lan Erzhuang scratched his head in embarrassment, really didn't want to say, what a shame,
"Is there anything you can't say to Uncle Li, or are you saying that you can't trust my old man?"

Rizheng straightened his face,

"How can you not trust Uncle Li?"

Lan Erzhuang hastily explained,

"Then just say it quickly, this man with a flat stomach doesn't look like a man. Tell me to see if I can help you, uncle. You have to think about it anyway. Don't let the children suffer."

Hearing this, Lan Erzhuang was a little sad, he couldn't feel the family affection with his own parents, he didn't want to, but he could feel it with outsiders, and he found an outlet for some words, since he was a relative, he wouldn't feel embarrassed,
"Old Uncle Li, that's what happened. Today my second uncle brought his second aunt and his eldest son to our house..."

Since he didn't want to keep it a secret, Lan Erzhuang explained today's matter in detail. Before the matter was finished, the Li family's aunt had already patted Kang Yan and started cursing, while cursing and pulling Lan Ling Xue's little hand kept rubbing, her affection was beyond words.

"Er Zhuang, I really didn't see that your father is such a person. This person has no strengths, and I really can't see the essence."

Lan Erzhuang really can't answer this question, after all, it's his own father, and the son doesn't say anything about his father's faults.

"Let's not say it's useless, Er Zhuang, just tell uncle if you have any plans, uncle who can help will never say anything."

"Uncle Li..."

Lan Erzhuang's eyes were hot, and he became more and more affectionate when he shouted.

"I want to buy a piece of land. I want it to be bigger and connected together. You can help my nephew find a way."

Lizheng thought about it carefully,

"Er Zhuang, this paddy field is really hard to manage. The few paddy fields left in the village are only two or three mu in size, and they are not connected."

"Uncle Li, I don't need paddy fields, just dry land."

"Dry land? We can't harvest dry land here. You will support your family in the future, so don't waste your money."

"No, I just want some dry land. I will wait for it. I have thought about it. I know that our village does not have large paddy fields. Instead of those paddy fields that are here and there, it is better to have a large one. What about the dry land, otherwise I would not have the energy to take care of it alone, and the little hoe is still small, so I can't help."

"That's right, let me think about it."

Li Zheng was thinking about it seriously, and Lan Erzhuang was not in a hurry, after all, buying land is not a trivial matter.

"Grandpa Li, you don't need a very good land, just a bigger area, and it doesn't matter if it's farther away. We will live our own life and save embarrassment."

Lan Lingxue thought, the farther the better, the land in her home needs to use spring water, and it will definitely grow well, but don’t be discovered by others at that time, it will be bad, and it will not be good if it is far away. People will notice, just don't know if there will be such a place,
"Hey, old man, when the girl said this, I remembered a place, that is, at the entrance of our village to the back mountain, not far from the small river, there was a small warehouse that was not used, and that small warehouse happened to be abandoned. No need, why don’t you just give Er Zhuang and his family a place to live first, it’s better than sleeping in the open air, isn’t there a large area around the small warehouse, you can measure out as much as Er Zhuang wants to use That's it, you say okay?"

"No, it's too desolate there, and the nearest house is about a hundred meters away from our village..."

"Okay, okay, Grandpa Li, that's fine."

Hearing that there was such a large area, Lan Lingxue was about to drool, and Lan Erzhuang saw her daughter nodding, so she knew that her daughter must have something on her mind, so Lan Erzhuang also nodded firmly.

"Girl, you've never been to that place, it's not suitable for people to live in, it's called a village when people gather together, how can they be far away from people, it's so impersonal and lonely, isn't it, live for a day or two It’s okay, but it’s unbearable after a long time.”

Li Zheng was still worried that if Lan Erzhuang's family moved to such a remote place, they would become more and more estranged from the people in the village, but he didn't know that Lan Lingxue still wanted to stay away from the village, with some secrets, to stay away from people , it will last longer,

"Okay, Grandpa Li, why don't you take me and dad over there to have a look, if not, we'll pick another place."

Looking at her father's eyes, Lan Lingxue thought, it's better to go to the field to see, if she makes a wrong decision, there is still room for redemption, so don't mess up this time because of her own self-assertion. Chance,

"Er Zhuang, do you mean that too?"

"Well, listen to my daughter."

Anyway, I have to go to the field to have a look. Although Lan Erzhuang thinks what Uncle Li said is right, he still decides to follow the wishes of his daughter.

"Since you two are so persistent, let's go and have a look, maybe you will give up when you see the place."

Just do what you say, Lizheng stood up, stretched his waist, lifted his feet and walked outside,

"Uncle Li, it's really hard for you to be old and busy with us."

Keeping up with Li Zheng, he didn't forget to grab his daughter's little hand,

"What's the hard work? As long as you live a good life in the future, no matter how hard I work, it's worth it."

Li was walking in a hurry, without looking back,
"Hey, Uncle Li, just take a look, I will live my life well."

A few people chatted and chatted, and soon arrived at the entrance of the village,

"Turn around here, and you'll be there after a while."

Did not go outside the village, just walked east along the village entrance,

"Er Zhuang, you have been here before."

"Of course, I always ran here when I was a child. I have been to the small grain warehouse in the village many times, but I haven't been there in recent years. If it hadn't happened, it would be a good place. place."

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Hearing that something happened, Lan Lingxue became a little worried, could this place be unsafe? Personal safety is the first priority. Without people, what is the use of money.

"Girl, don't be afraid. It's actually not a big deal. It's the small river over there that drowned Wang Laoshi's son in the village. I remember it was seven years ago. It seemed to be around the time of the Chinese New Year, right? uncle?"

"Ah."

Li Zheng casually agreed,

"Because it was too cold, and the water was very bitter. Although we were rescued in time, we finally suffered from the wind and cold, and our body never recovered. Now, the whole family is protecting us like eyeballs, and they still have fever and headaches. If you blow the wind and get a cold, you will be sick for several days, and you have spent a lot of money, but your health has not improved. No, people in the village are afraid of this river, and they are afraid that their children will also be drowned by the river. Drowning, the child is not allowed to come, after a long time, no one will come again."

It turns out that this is really not a big deal, it is very common for people to be drowned in the river, just be careful,

"Actually, I don't blame this river. It's not because I was careless, but everyone is afraid of this river for some reason. What's wrong with this river? The paddy fields in the village point to this river to irrigate Now, why is this place a restricted area?"

Li Zheng was complaining that the small warehouse was used well to help the village store food, so that it could be used in times of disaster, but because of this incident, even the warehouse was abandoned. It is really distressing to think about it, thanks to There have been no famines or disasters in the past few years, otherwise I will regret it to death.

"Father, is there really a river there?"

"Of course there is a river. Otherwise, why would we call Banhe Village here? That's why it's named here. However, this river circles from the other side of the mountain, and there is only such a small part of the river to our village, so it's called Banhe Village. It’s called Banhe Village.”

While speaking, the two adults stood still,
"Look, little basket, here we come."

Lizheng raised her finger to point to the small warehouse. Lan Lingxue looked over and saw that it was about [-] square meters. The higher the expectation, the closer to the warehouse. Although it is a bit dilapidated, it is not lacking in bricks and tiles, which is much better than the old house I live in.
