Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 30 To Renovate or Rebuild

Ding Shitou quickly took it and read it carefully.

The certificate of settlement is issued by the head of the receiving village, which proves the person's origin, identity and number of people. With this, he will go to the Yamen to apply for a household certificate and register it in the fish scale book.

The household posts are collected by each household to prove their identity. The fish scale book is the record book for the yamen to manage the information of the people. Your information on it proves that your existence is legal.

Ding Shitou said that the few of them were kicked out by their stepmothers and wandered all the way to Hangzhou to seek relatives, so naturally they couldn't provide any information.

Such a situation is not uncommon in this era, as long as someone provides proof, they can settle down.

A certificate issued by the village head is worth the joint guarantee of ten households.

Now the settlement certificate only has the text, and there is no name recorded on the back. After Ding Shitou finished reading it, the village chief pushed the pen and paper that he had brought over to her.

Since he can understand the settlement certificate, he is naturally literate.

"Write down your names, birthdays and ages."

"Yes." Ding Shitou picked up a pen and carefully wrote down their identity information in neat small letters on the paper.

A few of them didn't know their exact date of birth for a long time, they were just guessing the closest date.

After finishing writing, hand it back to the village head immediately.

"Well, I'll go and handle the account for you tomorrow. The handling fee is [-] cents a piece, and the five of you are worth a penny." The village chief looked at it and said.

"In addition, the transfer of the title deed of the house also costs a lot of money. This is because the house is more expensive than the house, and the people who do things always need some tea money."

Seeing Ding Shitou's embarrassment, the village chief said, this can't be avoided.

"Yes, Ding Shi has another problem, not this." Ding Shitou quickly explained, "Although I bought the house, it is actually too old, I don't know if it needs to be renovated..."

"The house title deed proves that the house and the land where the house is located belong to your property, including its measurement and size, and whoever bought it from should also be recorded in the fish scale book."

"The title deed doesn't affect whether you want to renovate or rebuild, but it needs to be marked in the fish scale register. You can think about whether to renovate or rebuild." The village chief patiently explained.

"I don't know how much money is needed for the reconstruction, how to build it? Ding Shi just arrived, and asked the village head grandpa to point out the way." Ding Shitou hurriedly got up and bowed to ask for advice.

She doesn't know how long she will live here, but living in that dilapidated house is really uncomfortable, and she can bear it, but the yard is fenced and not guarded against theft, so she has to be careful about what she says, for fear of being overheard.

"What kind of house do you want to build? You might as well give a general idea. The old man will help you figure out how much money you need. If you don't have enough money, you can renovate it first and live in it."

"I want to renovate the house like this..." Ding Shitou sat down again, picked up a pen and drew on another blank paper.

The village chief looked at it and nodded. It was similar to many families in the village, and there was nothing special about it, except that the yard was made of mud and walls instead of bamboo fences. It must be as tall as a person.

"The fence was built to protect against wind. In the past, we lived in dilapidated temples or even slept on the streets. What we longed for most was to have a solid and stable house that could prevent rain, wind, and warmth."

It is reasonable for Ding Shitou to explain his behavior.

"Well, the cost of the wall is not high. The structure of this house is simple and easy to build. There is a team of house builders in our village. Recently, we have no business and are staying at home. I will arrange a few more people to do small jobs and build it in ten days for you. .”

"However, the sum of materials and labor costs... is more expensive than buying a house for you. It's not worth the money." The village chief thought for a while while twisting his short beard, and finally looked at Ding Shitou in embarrassment.

　Conan-kun, do you know why you need to renovate the house first?
