Chapter 40 Buying Land
Shen Chengyao wanted to inform the village head about the land purchase before leaving for the neighboring county, and he took a basket of fruits to the village head's house early in the morning to discuss the land purchase.

In the west wing room, since Jing Rui and Jing Hao got pen, ink, paper and inkstone, they have to practice handwriting for an hour every morning. The weather is very cold now, and the two brothers' hands are flushed from the cold after practicing handwriting in the morning. It's embarrassing. They also enjoy it every day.Liu's heart ached when she saw it, and she thought about giving them a set of gloves, but they said it was inconvenient to practice calligraphy with them, and it was even more difficult to practice well.

Xiao'er sat on the kang and made puppets and silk flowers, and Liu Shi followed suit.The little girl was lying next to Mrs. Liu, waving her hands non-stop. Now the little girl is already very pink and chubby, and she is very cute.The most important thing is that she is very well-behaved. As long as the diaper is clean and the stomach is not hungry, you can play for half a day on the kang or with the rattle on the cradle. When you are tired from playing, you can fall asleep by yourself as long as you are not hungry. If she can sleep until dawn, of course Mrs. Liu will get up in the middle of the night to change her diaper.Now every time Shen Chengyao hugs his younger sister, he will say, "My younger sister looks really good, my brothers and sisters have never been so white and fat. It's all thanks to my brothers and sisters."

In fact, the water that the whole family drinks every day is the space water that Xiaoer secretly replaced, and they often eat the food in the space. Obviously, that's why we control the amount of things in the space.

The seeds given by Manager Chen last time have been planted several times in the space, one is hyacinth, one is tulip, one is lavender, and the other is crabapple.Xiao'er took the seeds harvested in the space to replant outside, poured some water in the space every day, and now they have germinated.When I go to get the wine jar after a while, I can take it to Shopkeeper Yao and ask him to help Manager Chen.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west every day. The pheasants, hares and robes I raised before have grown up a lot with the food in the space. There will be some changes in the family every day. Xiaoer looks at the few relatives around her, Suddenly it felt good, and she would work hard to make their life better.

Xiaoer kept thinking about things, doing the work at hand, and paying attention to the movement outside the door, and finally saw Shen Chengyao and the village head passing by the door.Xiao'er hurriedly put down her work, noticed that no one had seen the upper room and the east wing, and called Jing Rui and Jing Hao to walk towards the village together.

When the three of them arrived, the village chief and Shen Chengyao pointed to a pond and didn't know what to say.The three of them greeted each other politely, and the village head nodded as a response, "This wasteland, you see, these grass roots are thicker than hair, and these stones are as numerous as stars in the sky, it will be harder to handle than our ancestors , such a big pond is at least half an acre here, what is it used for, are you still sure you want to buy a whole piece of wasteland?"

The three of Xiao'er couldn't help laughing after hearing the description of the village chief. The village chief is really talented, and Xiao'er praised him in her heart.

Shen Chengyao glared at the three little kids, the village chief is the one you can laugh at!
He nodded to the village chief again, "Our family has already discussed it."

Sometimes the village head is really pissed off by his friend's paranoid temper. You say that this person treats other people's demands on him and is easy to talk about, but you're all slobbering when you talk about what you think, and you can pull ten more cows Come to pull him, he will not listen to you, let you finish talking there, and then continue to insist on your own opinion.

"Okay, buy it all! Such a cheap land, if you don't buy it, you don't buy it." The village head was so angry that he said ironically.

Xiao'er stared at the wasteland opposite for a while, "Uncle Village Chief, does the wasteland opposite also belong to our village?"

The village head glanced at the opposite side, "Twenty acres belong to our village, and the remaining ten acres are not."

"Why don't dad also buy the 30-odd mu across the street, and it's easy to take care of the opposite side of the house."

Shen Chengyao thought about it and thought it was right. He was most afraid that it would be troublesome if a difficult opponent came to him in the future. It is also a pity to see each other without looking up every day, "Can the village chief help us to buy more than 30 mu of land across the street? ?”

"Okay." The village chief lost his temper. The two father and daughter were specifically against him. The more you persuade them not to buy so much, the more they will buy!
"However, with so much land, even wasteland costs one tael of silver per mu, adding up to more than 80 taels of silver. And with so much land, can you take care of it? The wasteland is bought, except for the homestead, other After three years, you have to start collecting taxes, and if you don’t farm for three years, you have to take it back.”

"Xiao'er sold two pictures two days ago and made some money, so she wanted to buy more land. After all, fertile land is too expensive. This wasteland is cheaper. His mother and I are young. We open a little every year, and we will be able to open it in three years." It's over." He knew the rules of buying wasteland.

The village head didn't say anything after hearing this. He knew that the two of them were notoriously hardworking, and they worked desperately.

"Uncle the village chief, how do you sell those two hills?" Xiaoer asked, pointing to two small hills in the distance.

The village chief looked at it, and his brows frowned even tighter. Those two hills were even more difficult to take care of. They were used to grow crops, and even carrying water would exhaust a person. Moreover, one of the hills had a lot of rocks, and it would take a lot of work to clean them up. Gongfu, "Do you want to buy?"

Xiao'er nodded, "If it's cheap."

"Then I'll ask you when I go to the yamen to sign the contract for you."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Village Chief."

"Then let's go back to my house to make a lease, and then I'll help you go to the Yamen to apply for a land lease as soon as possible, and try to get it done today."

"Okay, please trouble the village chief."

The village chief waved his hand, "Please don't worry, this is what I should do. Although I hate you like a dead cow, you are stiff on one side and can't be straightened no matter what, but I am very happy and happy to help you do this."

Back at the village chief's house, the village chief wrote a document in triplicate, both of them signed their fingerprints, and then the village chief asked Lin Dashu and Lin Dashi to be witnesses to press their fingerprints.

Lin Dashi and Lin Dashu persuaded Shen Chengyao to buy so much wasteland when they knew it.

Shen Chengyao insisted on ignoring it, saying that he could always turn wasteland into fertile land.All three felt that he was dazed.

Shen Chengyao took out a bank note of 100 taels to the village head, "The rest of the money will be given to the village head to go to the yamen for turnover, and the two mountains will be booked first."

"Order it first, do you think there are sweet pastries on those two mountains?" The village chief rolled his eyes, but he could only respond angrily, "Okay, order first, order first" followed by the three words village Chang said it through gritted teeth.

Shen Chengyao decisively pulled the three little ones away and left.

Back home, Shen Chengyao took out the written documents and showed Liu Shi. Shen Chengyao also taught Liu Shi to recognize some characters. Mrs. Liu didn't think there was anything bad about it. At most, she would work harder to open up wasteland in the future. No farmer would want to have more and more fields.

Mrs. Liu collected the documents and asked Shen Chengyao when he planned to leave for the neighboring county.

Shen Chengyao said, "We are ready to go now."

He sat for a while, drank a bowl of water, and took the luggage and dry food that Mrs. Liu helped him pack. Xiao'er gave Shen Chengyao a basket of fruit, a pot of space water and a 100 tael silver ticket. Shen Chengyao only took 10 tael , and nothing else.

Xiao'er asked Shen Chengyao to rent a carriage in the town, and Shen Chengyao agreed and set off.

　Thank you for your favorites and recommendations. I will finish it earlier tonight. I am going to bed. I will hurry up tomorrow. Good night everyone, continue to ask for favorites and recommendations, thank you
