Chapter 32
"Uncle Village Chief, how are you doing?"

Su Lao Er couldn't wait any longer, so he asked again, and the village chief came back to his senses after hearing this.

I couldn't help but glared at Su Laoer, "You boy, you are hiding deep enough!"

Second Su laughed silly, "I didn't earn some money by trading chicken seedlings in the past. Uncle, you also know the reason why you don't reveal your money when you go out."

Village head Yu didn't believe it, just like the shabby Su family who just came here, said that his family had a hundred taels of silver, who in the village would believe it?Now he couldn't help but not believe it, and there was 100 taels of silver on the table in front of him.

"Middle, I'll do it for you in one go today. The thatched hut where your family lives now belongs to the village. The price is two taels per mu. I'll ask the boss to take two boys to measure it and see how much it is. .”

"As for the fields, there are [-] acres of unowned land in the village. I'll take you to have a look and see which one you like."

"Then please trouble the village head uncle."

The ownerless eighteen acres of farmland in the village, like the hut that the Su family lives in now, are all leftover from the extinct family. Some of them were bought by villagers in the village. Now, only these eighteen acres are left, which are usually given to the village. Families with little land in need will plant it, and those who wait for the grain to harvest will keep half of it, and the remaining half will be given to the village. The village keeps the grain, and sometimes provides relief to families in the village who are really in need, and keeps the rest. If there is a famine, this food can save lives.

Next to the Zongci in the village, there is a room dedicated to storing grain. Over the past ten years, thousands of catties of grain have been stored. These grains must be replaced with new grains every year to prevent the grain from becoming moldy over time.

It must be said that the ancestors of the Yu family were very foresighted.

The second child of Su wanted to buy a field. Village head Yu first thought of the [-] acres. If the field was sold, the villagers in the village would not object, because the money earned from the sale of the field would be spent on the ethnology of the village, and most of the people in the village had it. The boy is studying in ethnology. If there is no family, it does not mean that there will be no one in the future.

The two groups split up, and it was already noon when they were busy clearing up. Second Su had a hasty lunch at the village chief's house, then Boss Yu drove the family bullock cart to the county government office, and the three of them arrived at the county government office in Qinghe County. It was already an hour later.

The little official who was in charge of the business saw that there were still people coming to handle the business at this point, so his face was pulled down, but when the village chief said that he would come to settle down today, buy fields and buy land, the small official's expression was the same as before. land.

The Su family bought a total of eight acres of land. The land was medium-sized. One acre was worth 40 taels of silver, and five and a half acres of wasteland was worth 11 taels. In addition, a family of four settled in the country and it cost [-] taels of silver. After taking the commission, the government could get it. Seven or eight taels, a small official can get half a penny of silver, which is higher than his monthly salary in the yamen. How can he not be happy? He thought to himself that it was lucky that he was in charge today, otherwise such a good job would be better. It's not his turn.

When going back and passing by the street, Second Su bought some cooked food, and when the ox cart arrived at the village head's house, it was already dark.Second Su kept a bag of cooked food for himself, and gave the remaining few bags to Boss Yu, and took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the village chief.

"What are you doing! I'll keep the things, and you can take back the money."

"Uncle Village Chief, you and Brother Yu have helped me a lot. This money is what I should give. You must accept it, otherwise I won't be able to ask you for help next time."

No matter what Su Laoer said, the village chief and his son just refused to pick it up. Su Laoer was in a hurry, put the money on the bullock cart, and then ran away, and the two shouted in the back.

After running for a while and seeing no one chasing him, Su Laoer slowed down and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves. Who would have thought that giving him money would make him sweat.

When they got home, the family of three sat in the yard waiting for a while, and they all looked over when they heard the movement at the door.

When Su Laoer saw this posture, he didn't let the three of them be anxious.

"Everything is done. Here are the land deeds and land deeds, as well as our family's household registration. Now they have been changed to Yujia Village. From now on, we will be people from Yujia Village."

The three of them were very happy when they looked at the things in Mr. Su's hands. When the household registration was not settled, they always felt like they were floating. Now that the household registration was settled, they felt more at ease.

"I bought a piece of stewed pork in the county seat, let's go, let's go eat first."

"The head of the family is right, let's eat first, and we'll talk about what we have after we eat."

The family of four ate happily, and now no one can fall asleep, so they simply sat in the yard and chatted, with a big bamboo leaf fan in one hand. It was quite easy to wear.

"Father, shouldn't I send my brother to study? Most of the children in Yujia Village go to study in the ethnology school. My brother should also go. Not to mention that he will get fame in the future, but he must learn all the characters. In the future, our family's business As it grows bigger and bigger, there must be someone who can read, and my brother goes to the school to study, and he can teach me when he comes back."

If it weren't for the ethnology school not accepting female students, Su Yu would have wanted to go by herself, and knew that this was impossible.

The couple had never thought about letting Su Sheng go to school. They didn't have that opportunity before. Now that Su Sheng is older, he is fifteen years old. He got married very early in the village, after one or two years. It’s time to get a wife.But thinking about it, my daughter is right. Brother Sheng can't learn anything even if he goes to school at such an old age, but at least he can recognize some words and can teach his daughter when he comes back.

"Brother Sheng, what do you think?"

Second Su turned his head and asked his son who was sitting beside him.

Su Sheng was still in a state of bewilderment, and went to study. When he was very young, he also envied others to go to school. He knew that he didn't have the opportunity, and his envy faded away, especially after he was ten years old. , He never thought about studying again.How could he think that the opportunity is in front of him now, is he really going to study?Even Su Sheng is not sure about this point.

"Listen to your sister. I'll go find Yu Xiucai tomorrow and see if he accepts you before it's too late."

Su Sheng moved his lips twice but didn't speak, but it didn't matter whether he opened his mouth or not, his father had already decided it for him.

Early the next morning, Su Laoer really went to the ethnology school to find Yu Xiucai, and told him that he wanted his son to study in the ethnology school.

"If I remember correctly, your son must be fifteen years old. Has he ever studied in school before?"

"No, my son doesn't know a single word."

"Why are you thinking about letting him go to school now? Is he a bit older at this age?"

"Mr. Yu didn't know that there were not many students in the village I was in. Either I had to walk more than ten miles to the town, or I went to Gaojia Village, which was two villages away. My son was alone. I’m not worried about going there, the family is too busy and no one can take him there, so I stopped thinking about it, didn’t I move here, and the ethnology is close, so I just wanted to let my kid learn a few words, I don't ask for anything else.

If Su Yu heard this here, she would definitely stare. If she didn't say it, her father would remember it.
