The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 73
When Li Zheng was discovered, he just smiled lightly, and said, "It's nothing, just to see what you're thinking about?!"

Contemplating for a while, he said: "I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to make my roof look better. I am very envious of other girls' houses. At least one room per person. In our family, I have to share with Dabao. They are crowded into one room, only separated by a curtain, it is really inconvenient, I just want a separate beautiful room..."

The old house was indeed too small, with only three rooms with a kitchen, a thatched side, and a dirt yard.One east room lived in Zhong Gensheng and He Axiu, and put some food and miscellaneous items, the other west room was separated by a curtain, in which lived Shen Sisi and Niu Xiaohua, Dabao lived in the outer room, and there was no other room for eating in the main room. It's too small... It's too small, she even dreams of having a beautiful house of her own.

After the house was built, in addition to three rooms for each of the four brothers, she had to occupy one of the three rooms in the main house, but she had to build one room for Niu Xiaohua. She really didn't want to go in and out of the space to be seen, too. Not free anymore.

Li Zheng laughed when he heard that, "The little girl has grown up and wants her own boudoir..."

Shen Sisi was very embarrassed when he heard this, and lowered his head, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Zhong Gensheng was not feeling well either, he just smiled and said: "Tu Niu, when we build a house, we will definitely make your house the best..."

"Okay, Dad." Shen Sisi replied, while really thinking about what furniture to build in the house.

After building a new house, she absolutely doesn't want the broken wooden beds, broken tables and broken stools in those old houses...

Although it is not much faster to have a donkey cart, it is much more labor-saving than walking. When we arrived at the county seat, the weather was just right, and the county government office had already opened its doors. Li Zheng often dealt with people in the government office. Then he sat down at a tea stand opposite the county government office and ordered tea.

When the clerk heard that he was here to buy that piece of wasteland, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "...that piece of wasteland hasn't been sold for many years, and I didn't expect it to be sold today... Are you buying land for farming? !"

He looked at Shen Sisi's father and daughter dressed in shabby clothes, and he didn't understand that the family was so poor that they needed to buy land?And still buy the wasteland? !
Zhong Gensheng was a little nervous, but he still plucked up his courage and said: "...It's not because I am too poor that I can only buy wasteland. It would be good to use the wasteland to build a house, and then open up wasteland to grow food, so I pooled the money. Buy it, please give me your convenience..."

After speaking, he quietly handed the book a tael of silver, and said in a low voice: "...my family's ability is limited, don't dislike it..."

Li Zheng was sitting and listening, drinking tea with his head down, pretending not to hear, but wondering when Zhong Gensheng became so talkative. Although he was called poor everywhere, Li Zheng knew his background.

The clerk thought about it for a while, but he looked at Zhong Gensheng with admiration. A tael of silver is not much, but it is good for a country man to think of it. I wanted to make a move a long time ago, let's go, I will go through the formalities for you..."

Zhong Gensheng was overjoyed and said, "Thank you sir..."

She didn't expect things to go so smoothly, Shen Sisi also breathed a sigh of relief, she deliberately wore it so ragged, just to prevent people from thinking that the taels of silver were too little and wanted to eat more, but luckily the clerk was pretty good.

The next thing went surprisingly smoothly, the red deed was completed, and the money was handed in. Shen Sisi carefully read the land deed, and then looked at the red county government seal on it, but laughed, and carefully folded the land deed Get up, and secretly put it into the space.

The clerk said with a smile: "... In the afternoon, there will be a yamen servant to draw the boundary of your house. In fact, the boundary of the wasteland is not obvious. It is just a clear road to avoid future quarrels. It is only the money for the landmark. You can still get it. At that time, there will be a government servant to collect from you..."

"Success," Zhong Gensheng said happily, "Then I'll wait in the village this afternoon."

The clerk nodded, smiled and politely sent them out of the side door of the county government office, then turned around and went in again.

Zhong Gensheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's finally done..."

Li Zhengzao was watching, seeing that Shen Sisi had put the title deed into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Tu Niu, you have to keep it, don't drop it, Gen Sheng, is this girl the master of your family?" ?!"

Zhong Gensheng was startled, then nodded and said: "The money is earned by the local girl, so naturally she decides everything..."

But Zhong Gensheng's name is written on the title deed, Li Zheng smiled, it seems that all the wealth and things of the Zhong family are kept in the hands of this girl, I really can't tell.

Sensing Lizheng's gaze, Shen Sisi was taken aback, but calmed down calmly, what were she afraid of, she wasn't a monster, hmph, at most she was a little smarter.

After getting into the donkey cart, Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "Lizheng, come to my house to have a meal tonight. I have prepared some food at home. Don't be disgusted. It's time to kill a pig in the afternoon. I'll save some meat to cook and eat for Lizheng's wife." And the kids also yelled..."

Li Zheng knew that their family was paying them back, so he nodded after thinking about it for a while, and said, "Sure, I'll come over tonight..."

Zhong Gensheng nodded with a smile, and then went all the way back to the village, Lizheng got off the donkey cart and went back, and then he drove to Niu Laogen's house.

Niu Laogen was weaving dill frames in the yard at this time, and when he saw them coming in, he hurriedly said, "Come in and have a seat, you just came back?!"

"Yes..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile, "Come to return the donkey cart."

"In the future, just use it to get it..." Niu Laogen was busy pouring tea, but Zhong Gensheng stopped him and said, "It's not busy, I have to go home, by the way, come to drink at night, Li Zheng Come here too, there is a happy event at home today..."

Niu Lao wanted to refuse at all, so he said: "Why are you so happy about the happy event?!"

Zhong Gensheng smiled lightly and said: "I borrowed the donkey cart to go to the Yamen. I didn't tell you this morning because I was afraid that the matter would not be done. Now it is done. The people from the county government will come to measure the land boundary in the afternoon. I bought the wasteland on the west. Building a house, there are more and more people in the family, it is not enough to live in, and the children are getting older. I wanted to call you to eat at noon, but I was afraid that I would be too busy. Come here at night, let's have a good drink..."

Niu Laogen said happily: "It's really a happy event, I will definitely go tonight..." In fact, I ate again yesterday, and going to eat again today, I always feel that it is not good, but he has to go to the Zhong family for such a happy event, and they are willing to ask him to go Eating is also a sign of respect for him, and in the future, he will be his son and daughter's relatives, so Niu Laogen let go after thinking about it.

Zhong Gensheng joked a few more words, and went home with deep thoughts.

Niu Laogen thinks that Zhong's family will build a house, and Xiaohua's life will get better and better.

Tian Guihua heard it in the house, and couldn't help but come out and said: "...What? The Zhong family bought the land so soon? The land is ten acres..."

Niu Laogen sneered and said, "It's just a wasteland, what are you thinking about? It's not yours..."

After Tian Guihua heard this, she just gritted her teeth and kept silent.

Ten acres of wasteland cost more than 30 taels of silver, and a house had to be built... Is the Zhong family really making money? !Thinking of how that dead girl would not help him find out the prescription, Tian Guihua gritted her teeth in hatred. If the prescription belonged to her family, wouldn't their family be able to earn so much money.

These two old couples, one is really happy for her daughter, and the other only cares about other people's money, they really have very different ideas.

What's even more depressing is that Tian Guihua felt unhappy when she thought that this old thing would go to Zhong's house to eat and drink again, and the Zhong family didn't even ask her to go too.

I heard that the stewed meat of Zhong's family is very delicious. Xiaohua has been to their house for a long time, but Zhong's family has never sent a catty to their house...

Tian Guihua put all these things together and thought about it, only to feel that her heart and lungs were burning and aching.

As soon as Zhong Gensheng came home, He Axiu came out and said anxiously: "...how are you doing?!"

"It's done..." Zhong Gensheng's face was full of joy, and he said with a smile: "The land deed is with the local girl..."

Shen Sisi showed it to He Axiu, He Axiu couldn't read, but she knew the red seal, so she smiled and said, "Okay, that's great..."

Shen Sisi put it away, and said with a smile: "The red deed is better, file a case in the yamen, from now on this land will be my father's, no one can take it away, four liang of silver is worth nothing..."

He Axiu's eyes were full of joy, she was very happy, and said: "Dabao and the others are coming back soon, I'll cook and have a good lunch..."

"By the way, I called Lizheng's family to have dinner with Niu Laogen tonight. I cook more dishes in the evening and stir-fry some side dishes from the backyard. I'm afraid it won't be enough..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "Lizheng helped We are very busy, if we go, our eyes will be blackened, who can we turn to..."

"It's about..." He Axiu's eyes were full of joy, and she went to the kitchen excitedly.

Niu Xiaohua was also happy, Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "Go cook with your mother, your father will come tonight..."

"Thank you, dad..." Niu Xiaohua called Zhong Gensheng happily, and Zhong Gensheng was even more happy in his heart.

"Tu Niu, the yamen servants will come this afternoon, what shall we do to entertain them?!" Zhong Gensheng asked her.

Shen Sisi chuckled lightly and said, "Just prepare some tea. Our family is already poor, so we don't care how to entertain them when they come. I'm afraid they may not be able to appreciate the simple food..."

In fact, it's not just plain food, but I'm afraid they will miss it after eating it, Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Father, prepare a dime and let them share it. Our yard is so dilapidated, and people may not be willing to come in... "

"Alright, money is a good thing, and they will definitely not dislike it..." Zhong Gensheng finally felt relieved when he thought about it. In fact, he was right to think about it. It was not because he was afraid that the entertainment would cost money, but because he was worried about it. It's troublesome.Zhong Gensheng didn't want to cause this trouble either.

Today, Zhong Gensheng ordered Dabao to bring some tea back after selling all the goods, so when Dabao came back, everyone carried a lot of things on their backs, such as small tables, small chairs, unused dipping sauces, and beans for tomorrow. Dry, tea, and... ten catties of white flour.

If you want to entertain people at night, you can't use black noodles. It's really hard to pass, besides, Lizheng has helped a lot, and there will be many places for him to help in the future, so I can't bear to part with such a few dollars.

The tea is not very good, it is similar to the kind that the villagers drink, it is very cheap, twenty cents a catty, it is the most common and the worst tea, but the villagers don’t pay much attention to these. Hospitality is good.

Dabao put the things down, gave Er Gouzi and the others their money, and after a few more instructions, he sent them away.

Shen Sisi watched from the sidelines and smiled, it seemed that Dabao had really found his way.

Only then did Dabao bring over the ledger and the rest of the money, and said, "Tu Niu, I spent a little on shopping, and it's all recorded in the ledger, take a look..."

Shen Sisi glanced at it, and saw that the accounts were written very clearly, so she smiled and said, "Very good..."
