Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 58 Lu Laoer returns empty-handed
The children were immediately stumped, mainly because they didn’t know how to name it, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Hong sounded pretty good!

He Jiuniang thought for a moment and then said: "Black and red are their characteristics and can be retained. Just add another word at the end."

The children suddenly frowned and thought hard, what should they call it?
"Yes, they can run as fast as the wind. How is the wind, mother?"

Gouer looked at He Jiuniang with a smile, hoping to get her approval.

"Black Wind..."

He Jiuniang thought about it and thought it was good, so she said, "The black horse is called Black Wind. The red horse is a girl. You have to give it a gentler name."

"It's a girl!"

Little Huzi scratched his head, no wonder it was red, it was so beautiful.

"Sister Lianhua's name is nice, why don't we call her Honghua!"

Leizi once again made a shocking statement, and He Jiuniang's face wrinkled up. This child... what should I say?Pretty much that!
So, she guided the children: "Begging is good, tell me what flowers do you know?"

Leizi was the first to speak out: "Wild flowers and wild flowers!"

He Jiuniang:......

In order not to damage her child's self-confidence, He Jiuniang smiled on her face and said: "That's right! What else?"

The dog raised his hand: "I know! Chrysanthemum!"

On her way to Jingzhou, He Jiuniang took her dog to pet. When she saw a bush of wild chrysanthemums, He Jiuniang gave him some knowledge about flowers. Unexpectedly, he still remembered it, and the old mother was very pleased.

"Cockscomb!"

Youyatou also raised her hand.

"Osmanthus fragrans!"

Ting Yatou, who has always been quiet, couldn't help but speak.

He Jiuniang smiled and nodded: "You are all right. Do you know what flowers are?"

Leizi is still not far behind: "Caihua!"

He Jiuniang's smiling face suddenly froze, this child is really awesome!
She has given up struggling, thank you!
At this time, Old Man Lu also came out. Hearing their discussion, he couldn't help but join in: "I went out to escort people earlier, and I know that noble people like orchids and peonies very much. You can see many of them on the orchid mountain, and there are many kinds. There are many peonies, but I have never seen them before. I only know that they are flowers that symbolize wealth and are very precious!"

"Wow!" The children all opened their eyes wide, "Peony, what a nice name!"

You Yatou said again: "Third Sister-in-law, can we just call Ma'er Peony?"

red peony.

It sounds a bit like the name of a certain flower shop, but it sounds really good. At least it is better matched and smoother than the ones mentioned before.

He Jiuniang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then it will be called Red Peony from now on. You can call it Peony if you want!"

The children started cheering around the two horses to celebrate their having such a cool and catchy name.

Seeing his children smiling so happily, Old Man Lu was in a good mood. He took the initiative to lead the two horses out and waved his hand: "Let's go, grandpa will take you to let the horses go!" A group of children just ran away with Old Man Lu. He Jiuniang smiled and entered the house, helping everyone clean up.

The Yu family members were talking: "Mom, now that we live here, the land has not been settled yet. Men are building houses, and we women can't help. I am thinking about going to the nearby mountains early tomorrow morning to see what we have to offer. Can we open up some land so that we can still grow our own food?"

Qin, Lu Guilan and Shen immediately said, "Sister-in-law, let's go with you!"

He Jiuniang stood at the door, a little embarrassed. She didn't want to go anyway.

In order to ease the embarrassment, she said: "You can also visit the nearby barren mountains, but you still have to ask if there is anyone in the village who wants to sell land. Let's buy some and plant it. Otherwise, we will only rely on the barren mountains and the barren land." It can’t support our big family.”

Everyone nodded, but suddenly looked sad. Lu Guilan said: "Normally, people are not willing to sell their land. What's more, there are few fields in Anping Village. Maybe each family doesn't have much land. We are willing to buy it, but others may not be willing." Sell ​​it!”

"There are always people who are willing to sell, such as those who have a small family but a lot of land. Just ask more. I will take care of it."

He Jiuniang patted her chest and promised that although they had asked the village chief to ask for help before, they could not do nothing themselves. They had to at least inquire about the price of land on the market first, so as not to be cheated.

"Okay, then I'll bother my third brother and sister!"

The sisters-in-law and others were chatting and laughing, and Mrs. Sun reminded: "Be careful not to be tricked."

She didn't worry about anyone else, but she couldn't worry about He Jiu Niang, the big grievance. She just had some money and didn't consider the price at all.

He Jiuniang only thought it was funny and nodded her head: "I know, don't worry!"

The family quickly packed up the thatched shed to ensure that it would be more comfortable to sleep at night. Mrs. Yu was going to kill the chickens and fish and stew soup first so that they could eat it at night. As for Mrs. Qin, they wanted to dig in the mountains. Wild vegetables, and I can make soup for lunch later.

Sun doesn't need to worry about these things, everyone will consciously find something to do.

He Jiuniang also wanted to visit the mountains. People say that the people who depend on the mountains live on the mountains. She had to go and investigate the conditions in the mountains to see what she could do to make a living. Otherwise, when would the big family be able to get rich just by farming?

Just as they were about to go out, Mr. Lu and a group of men came back. They were arranged by Mr. Lu to buy stones to build the foundation, but they came back empty-handed.

"What's going on? Didn't you go buy stones? Why did you come back empty-handed?"

Lu Laoer sighed: "It's too expensive. The bigger one costs thirty cents a piece, the smaller one costs more than ten cents a piece, and the broken one costs ten cents a carriage. I don't think it's a good deal, so I'll come back first." Let’s ask everyone what they think, otherwise we can just go up to the mountain and quarry the rocks ourselves!”

This price is indeed ridiculously expensive. In the past, thirty cents would have bought at least five large stones.

Sun asked: "How could this happen?"

"It is said that because there are so many refugees coming to Jingzhou to seek refuge, the prices of all kinds of things have increased, so the prices of stones have also increased."

"It's ridiculous! It's just that the price of food has increased. Why are stone sellers joining in the fun?"

Mrs. Sun was so angry that she exhaled. Lu Guilan was worried that the old man was angry, so he hurriedly patted her chest to calm her down.

Lu Laoer nodded: "I think so too. It just so happens that several elder brothers in the village said that there are a lot of rocks on the mountain. It's better for us to mine it ourselves. It's a little more troublesome, but we can save a lot of money."

Qin said: "But will it be dangerous to mine it by yourself? That stone is a big one. If you are injured..."

As she spoke, she pulled Lu Laoer's hand with concern, her eyes filled with worry.
