Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 108 Buying Land
Although Banxia's words seemed very abrupt, she still said it.

How can a family pay so much attention.

Su Youli's hand holding the chopsticks was startled, "Okay, what are you doing with that vegetable patch?"

Li's focus is not on this, "We still have money, buy land?"

Ban Xia is very satisfied with their reaction, at least they have no intention of objecting.

So she smiled and said, "Father, mother, do you know how much silver we have now?"

Of course, there is some money, not to mention that the family is eating very well, at least there is no shortage of meat and eggs that they want to eat. Yuan Chen Gu Ya'er is still so young, even when he is growing up, it is especially unlucky.

What's more, how much can you eat?

The family situation is good, and Su Youli has no intention of objecting.It was normal for him to ask that question, because the land was originally in the vegetable garden behind someone else’s house, and there were two grapefruit trees planted on one side of it. Ye gave Li Shi to make sugar cakes.

Now, there is already a lot of silver in the jar of Pinellia. There is also a large windfall, that is, when it came to cassava flour, it was agreed to be one tael of silver per catty, and there were dozens of catties, but I don’t know how to deduct part of it..."

This 01:30 Xia still can't forget, how can a good-looking person be able to make a fortune?It doesn't look like someone who cares about that little money.

Hearing this, Su Youli coughed a few times in embarrassment. Ban Xia didn't delve into this further. It was raining when we went out that day, so it was good to be able to send it. Did it rain or what? Anyway, Su Youli didn't ask for full money, so it's hard to say for Ban Xia.

"No matter what, we now add up to 67 taels..."

"69 taels." Yuan Guang said firmly from the side.

While eating, Ban Xia didn't intend to go through the account book, "Well, my brother must understand when he kept the accounts. If he really bought the paddy fields for these 69 taels, there would be more than ten mu, so he can be regarded as a small landlord!" Ban Xia smiled. You have to look satisfied.

Li Shi was surprised, she just felt that life is so easy now, at least she doesn't need to be wronged and condescended all the time, Su Youli loves others in the first place, let's just say this planting, let her take a rest or go pull it out For rice seedlings, he hunched over and planted rice seedlings quickly. With less than three acres of paddy fields, Li felt that he hadn't done much at all.

It's a world of difference from the previous appearance where I was so tired that I lost a layer of skin every time I was busy with farming.

As soon as I got home, I didn't need to do the work on the stove. Ban Xia could still bathe Gu Ya'er and watch Yuan Chen without any delay. Just half a year ago, such a day was unimaginable.

It turned out that it wasn't that difficult to implement.

But all of a sudden, she was still shocked when she heard that her family had tens of taels of wealth.

"so much!"

Ban Xia naturally understands Li Shi's surprise, but she will never be satisfied with it, "Mother, don't look at our family's money now, but when my grandfather helped us buy the land in Banjiaoling, he also helped us He gave a part of the money, and he didn’t say the exact amount, but I think it’s 20 taels, so we only have less than 50 taels. My brother and younger brother are studying, so I want to leave 20 taels for them to use for studying. For example, to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones, as well as Mr. Shuxiu and other things that need to be used, we will not move this sum of money, and we will put in some money every year according to the situation, but after deducting that part, we still have 30 Two surpluses, although not too small, may not be enough to build a comfortable big house, let alone where to build it..."

While talking, Ban Xia also expressed her thoughts.

"Building a house?"

Li Shi's eyes flickered, then dimmed again.

Ban Xia nodded vigorously, "So we can't just sit and eat. The cassava flour is just an accident. It doesn't make so much money every time. Although bean sprouts, fried tofu, and fermented bean curd can make a little money, they really don't have much. We still have to be smart about it.”

"Ban Xia, what did you just say about the vegetable shopping field?" Seeing that the topic had drifted away, Yuan Guang came back.

The rest of the people also looked at her.

Ban Xia swallowed her saliva, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and patted Yuan Chen's shoulder, some things still have to be faced, "Father, mother, when Yuan Chen was seriously ill, in fact, that morning, I met the person in the bandit den you mentioned That man, surnamed Di, took us to find the place where Dr. Mu gathered medicine, and Yuanchen saved his life from the gate of hell.”

As soon as she said this, Li's tears were about to flow down again, and she silently scooped custard into Yuan Chen's bowl, one spoon at a time, and couldn't stop it.

Seeing that she had no intention of stopping, Gu Ya'er stretched out her small hand, and scooped part of the custard from Yuan Chen's bowl into her own wooden bowl, her eyes met Yuan Chen's, and her smile became more similar.

The two little ones are making trouble here, but the adult's focus is obviously not here.

Ban Xia's voice was a bit bitter, "Doctor Mu said that Yuan Chen is always bad, but the weak disease is almost the same, but he thinks too much and always thinks that we will lose him."

"How could this happen!" Li Shi couldn't believe it.

Don't talk about her, even I don't believe it, but the matter has come to this point, so what if I don't believe it?
"At the beginning, she wanted Yuan Chen to be taken away by Jane's. We jumped out of the stove, and when we robbed him, Yuan Chen stayed at Grandpa's house for a while. He must want to stay at his own house. Now that we're back , I also specifically asked the person in the fourth room, she scared Yuan Chen, always saying that he is useless, and the one in the main room, Yuan Chen is young, he will believe what others say, father, mother, don't you Did you find that Yuanchen always shrank when he scolded people over there? Also, how long has he been afraid to cry because he was afraid that he would be useless and that he would be thrown away because of it.”

Li Shi covered her eyes with her hands, letting the tears stay silently.

Yuan Guang looked angry, "It's too hateful!"

This time, Su Youli didn't say a word. He had witnessed with his own eyes the last time the family split up. How much the Li family had been wronged. At this time, he could have no other emotions besides anger.

After going around in a circle, he came back, "So, I want Yuanchen to stay at home for a while, and then go to study in the summer, so that he won't think too much. Now we can't let him live in fear all the time. But it is difficult for us to build a house now, so I want to buy that vegetable field and go out from there, so that we don’t need to go through this yard. We have our own separate yard, and this side is at most one. The back door, with the door closed, no one can control it.”

Su Youli made the first decision, "That's it!"

Li Shi suddenly hugged Yuanchen, tears could not stop falling down.

Yuan Chen sat blankly, with a look of bewilderment.

Seeing this, Gu Ya'er pouted and struggled for a while, then put the wooden spoon beside it, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll eat it for you."

Ban Xia on the side burst out laughing, "Eat yours!"

But at this time, there was still a problem, because the shed where Yuan Guang lived was built next to a wall of the main house, if he really didn't pass through this side, in case Mrs. Su Qian said something sour, he would not beautiful.

Li Shi kept comforting Yuan Chen, Su Youli also expressed his opinion, and Yuan Chen fell softly into Li Shi's arms.

After they calmed down a bit, they talked about the issue of Yuan Guang.

Su Youli thought about it this time, "Since we can't build the house so quickly, and these two rooms are not enough to live in, why don't we build two walls on the side of the vegetable garden now that the busy farming season is over, otherwise we will always The fence is not very good, anyway, it needs to be a yard, at least a gate is needed, and a pigsty will be built at one end by the way, and we can build two thatched huts here, and it doesn’t cost much money. Just ram it yourself."

Once he made up his mind, Su Youli was still very reliable in doing things, so it started to count.

"The shed that Yuan Guang lives in now, if they have something to say, we don't want it." Mrs. Li is also stubborn. It is very aggrieved to let Yuan Guang live there all the time in that very cramped and small place.

Now that the family has money, Yuan Guang and Yuan Chen are going to study, at least they need a decent place to live.

Ban Xia rolled her eyes, "Father, since we have already decided to build a house, can we build a place to take a shower, it's too inconvenient!"

"cover!"

So, on the account book, Ban Xia drew out another 20 taels of silver, and another sum that needed to be studied by Yuan Guang and Yuan Chen, she bumped into a jar outside the two, like the usual jar of silver , plus bits and pieces, it is only about ten taels.

But it’s not that it takes so much money to ram a courtyard wall and build a thatched hut, but the most important thing is to buy land. If the vegetable field over there cannot be bought, it will be impossible to build a yard behind, otherwise there will be no roads, and What's the point?
They are all neighbors, and the person who planted this field is an outsider in the village, surnamed Zhang. I heard that they have moved here for a long time, and their house is next to the vegetable field. The house was just opened. The back door is just connected to the vegetable field.

It's just because the roads that everyone walks in and out are really not close, and they don't have many contacts.

Su Youli went over with the gift in hand. Logically speaking, for a vegetable garden of more than two acres, 15 taels would be about the same.

Who knew that the members of the Zhang family refused without even thinking about it, and Su Youli didn't even have time to mention the matter of money, the Zhang family was considered polite, but the tone of the refusal was unquestionable.

A well-planned game, but in the end it was a pot of cold water poured down.

It always makes people panic.

When Mrs. Su Qian heard the news, she was very happy, "What a skill! I don't know where the money came from. I'm going to buy land. If I don't go to my yard, I really don't want to go!"
