Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 272 Buying Field

At the dinner table, several people were chatting and laughing.

Zhu Danian looked at Shen Wenshan and asked, "How is your study at the carpenter's house?"

"Carpenter Li said I was doing well, and he taught me very seriously, without hiding anything."

"Li Mu is a good carpenter, and his craftsmanship is top-notch. Learn well and don't let your elder brother and sister-in-law down."

He nodded: "Oh, I'll remember it and learn from Carpenter Li."

Then he looked at the two people beside him and asked, "Do you have money to buy land in the spring?"

"Yes." Shen Rongshan saw that he had finished the soup in his bowl, so he stood up and filled another bowl. "Master, don't worry. We have money in our hands and can buy some land."

"You all have a hard time. Tell me if you have any difficulties. Although I don't have much money, I can still help you a little."

"Thank you, Uncle Danian." Ji Wenhe said gratefully, "I have enough money to buy the land, and there will be some left after buying the land."

After receiving these two dividends, I should be able to buy a residential plot. It all depends on how much dividends I can get.

After the meal, it was getting dark.

The two twins cleaned up the dishes, Ji Wenhe used wood ash to clean the pot, and then boiled some hot water for soaking his feet.

Shen Rongshan sent Zhu Danian to the foot of the mountain: "Master, remember to come tomorrow, I won't call you."

"Okay." He took out a small bag from his arms, "Here, take it and use it. Five taels, that's all Master has. I can't give you more."

"Master, we have money in our hands, so we can use it for ourselves."

"Just take it if I tell you to." The small cloth bag was stuffed into his hands. "My family needs money everywhere. Master can help us buy a few more plots of land and grow crops to sell for money next year."

Shen Rongshan returned the cloth bag to him: "This is your retirement money, I can't take it. We really have money in our hands, we didn't lie to you."

He hunts and sells the game in town. How can I accept the money he earned from hunting?

Zhu Danian glared and said, "Just take it if I tell you to. Don't make me angry. The doctor said I can't get angry at my age. If I get angry and something bad happens to me, you'll have to support me for the rest of my life."

The cloth bag was stuffed back into his hands: "Just think of it as Master lending it to you. Return it to me when you have money in your hand."

After saying that, he turned around and left with the two big black dogs.

"Master!" Shen Rongshan took two steps forward.

He turned his back and waved his hand: "Go back, I'll come over tomorrow."

The two big black dogs turned around and barked, then trotted after the people in front.

Ji Wenhe came out of the kitchen and saw him holding a cloth bag. He walked up to him curiously and asked, "Did Uncle Da Nian give this to you?"

"Yeah." Shen Rongshan told her what happened.

"Then take it. He won't want it even if you return it now. We can return it to him later."

There were no firecrackers or fireworks during her first Spring Festival here, but she had the person she loved by her side, which made her feel at ease and happy.

End of March.

Ji Wenhe poured out all the money in the pottery jar.

I went to collect my dividends at the end of last month, and including the one from the little doll, I was short of a hundred cents to eleven taels.

The small glutinous rice balls style sells the best because the eyes are embroidered in different shapes, such as a closed eye, half-open eye, angry eyes, etc. Girls will buy three or four at a time.

When there were only a few left, the girls started to raise the price.

I received 753 cents as dividend this month.

We received goods once in early January, once when we delivered the Yuanxiao styles, and once again at the end of this month.

One thousand kilograms of black flour, fifty kilograms of brown rice, thirty kilograms of coarse flour, thirty kilograms of corn flour, and ten kilograms of fine flour.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he said, "Brother Shen, we should buy less goods at the end of next month. We can't sell all the goods in a month if we buy them once."

A few days ago, I saw a strange peddler entering the village, selling everything.

Shen Rong sat on the bedside and pulled the quilt over her feet. "Five hundred kilograms of black flour, twenty kilograms of brown rice, twenty kilograms of coarse flour and corn flour, and five kilograms of fine flour. Only that much will be purchased by the end of next month. We will go once a month."

If you can’t sell all of it, keep it for yourself.

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Last time we sold the wild boar for nearly ten taels, and the dividends added up to less than twelve taels, plus our previous savings, and Uncle Da Nian's five taels."

"After deducting the money for buying the land and the daily expenses for buying meat, we have less than twenty-three taels left. After returning the five taels to Uncle Da Nian, we will have nearly eighteen taels left."

Shen Zhong sold Shen Dadong's two acres of land to them for five taels.

The two fields next to their house, the field at the foot of the mountain, plus Shen Dadong's seven-mu vegetable plot, totaled five thousand eight hundred wen, a difference of two hundred wen to six taels, so the price was given at a bargain.

I also bought a second plot of land, one acre, at the foot of the mountain on the south side.

The total cost of buying the land was nearly thirteen taels, six acres of land, plus seven mu of his own land, and six acres and seven mu of paddy fields.

The vegetable plots together occupy one acre.

When the twins get married, each family will get two acres of paddy field, the vegetable land will be divided into seven parts and divided among the two families, and the three pieces of wasteland will be divided into one acre each.

Ji Wenhe told him all his plans.

"Brother Shen, now that we have bought the land at home, let's buy the homestead as well. We have enough money, and once we buy the homestead, we can build a house quickly."

At this time, Shen Wenshan came into the house, stood at the back and asked: "Brother, are you still going out? I've closed the door."

"Close it." Shen Rongshan put the money into the pottery jar, took off his cotton jacket and got into bed, holding the man in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "How much homestead should I buy?"

"It should be at least 100 square meters. We already have a residential plot. If we buy the land next to it, we can have more than 100 square meters, no more than 120 square meters."

"Fifteen taels, can I buy two hundred square meters, plus the piece of land next to the homestead?"

He was silent for a while and said, "I will discuss it with the head of the village tomorrow."

Ji Wenhe leaned into his arms and said, "Well, you can talk to Li Zheng about it tomorrow. And you can deliver Uncle Da Nian's five taels to him."

"Okay, go to sleep."

After buying the residential land, I didn’t have the money to build a brick house, so I could only build a wooden house.

If they are sure to buy it, the two twins will be allowed to choose the location of the two residential plots themselves. After all, it will be their own place to live in the future, so they still have to take care of it.

Early the next morning.

Shen Rongshan finished his meal early and went to find Shen Zhong.

Ji Wenhe took a sip of egg soup and looked at the two of them: "Your eldest brother will go to the head of the village to discuss the purchase of the housing plot. If the head of the village agrees, you can choose two housing plots by yourselves."

"The homestead our family has bought, your eldest brother and I have decided to take this one. It will be more convenient to feed the chickens in the wasteland, saving us from having to travel far."

"Big brother mentioned this to us before." Shen Yuanshan lowered his eyes, "Wait until big brother comes back and the village head sells it, and we go pick out a residential plot."

He didn't want to separate the family, but he also knew that if they lived together after marriage for a long time, there would be conflicts between them.

But when I thought that it was just in the village and I could see it in a few steps, I didn't feel so sad.
