   Chapter 20 Buying Land

  Li Yu brought two pheasants to the village chief's house. When he walked back, he saw that the courtyard door was open. Li Yu stood at the door and looked in. He saw Li was standing under the eaves porch pushing a mill.

  Li Yu stood at the door and shouted loudly, "Aunt Li, you are busy!"

Mr. Li turned his head and saw Li Yu standing at the door with two pheasants. He quickly put down the grinding handle to greet the door, and whispered: "Xiaoyu, why are you sending game again? I, the big family, you send us too. If you can't eat two yuan, you might as well sell it and remember not to give it away next time."

   Li Yu replied in a low voice with a smile: "Aunt Li, didn't the Zhang family return my money? It's not safe to leave it at home. I want to find the village chief and buy the wasteland behind my house."

Li took the pheasant and nodded with a smile, "It's a good thing to buy land, remember! Don't send prey here in the future, keep the money to sell to Ah Qing to study," Li pulled a chair for Li Yu to sit down, Pointing to the room, "Wait, I'll go and call my father-in-law for you."

Li Yu nodded with a smile. After a while, Mrs. Li called the village chief. The village chief glanced at Li Yu and asked, "Xiaoyu, your aunt said you want to buy wasteland, but now there is no good wasteland to open in the village. what!"

  Li Yu stood up and bowed to the village chief, "Village chief grandpa, as soon as I pay taxes, there will be no more food left. I want to buy the wasteland behind my house, do you think?"

  The village chief frowned after hearing this, "Even if the wasteland behind your house is opened, I'm afraid it will take a few years to keep it alive, and watering is inconvenient, have you considered it?"

   "Thanks to the village chief for the point, I just wanted it to be close to my house and easy to take care of."

Seeing that Li Yu had made up his mind to buy, the village chief stopped persuading him. "The barren hills are not good because of the high terrain, so no one wants to put them there." After that, there are a total of 82 acres, and the fixed price is 200 cents per acre, plus the deed tax, it costs 22 taels in total, you first hand over the money to me to go to the yamen to get the land deed for you. Also, the first three of the wasteland If you don’t pay taxes every year, the land is not good, and you have to pay the tax in the mountains after three years, and you have to pay 20 cents per mu of land.”

  Li Yu took out the money and handed it to the village chief, and said politely, "I'm sorry to trouble you, the village chief."

  The village chief took the money and waved his hand, "Don't be polite, it's not easy for you two brothers and sisters, I'll go and do it for you in the morning." After finishing speaking, the village chief returned to the house with the money.

  After the village chief left, Mrs. Li looked at Li Yu and worried about her, "Xiaoyu, you bought so many mountains and Ah Qing is studying, how are you going to be a girl?"

   Li Yu smiled slightly, "Aunt Li, don't be afraid, I'll hire a human race then," Li Yu looked at Shimo and asked Mrs. Li, "Aunt Li, where can you sell Shimo?"

   "Chen Mason's family at the east end of the village and we are the main family. Do you want to buy a stone mill?" Mrs. Li looked at Li Yu and said.

  Li Yu twitched his fingers, "There are so many things to buy! I want to buy a plate of stone mills, a rice mill and a stone mortar, as well as chickens and pigs."

   Mrs. Li took off her waist and smiled brightly: "These villages have them, come with me and I will take you there."

   Li took Li Yu, first went to the house where the chicks were incubating and sold them to buy more than a dozen chicks, and then went to the family who raised the sows to order two little piglets before taking Li Yu to Chen Mason's house.

  Li Yu saw that Chen Mason's house was full of all kinds of stone tools, and the people who pounded the rice were also the tread cones that he had seen in the countryside before. Li Yu bought a medium-sized stone mill, a vertebra and a small stone mortar.

   After Li took Li Yu to buy it, he said goodbye to Li Yu and went home.

   Li Yu took Chen Mason, carrying a chicken, and helped Chen Mason push the trolley, pulled the stone mill and stone mortar, and walked back home.

  Laidi saw that Li Yu had bought chickens and came back, and happily asked the chickens to go to the wasteland outside the house to put chickens. Li Yu asked Chen Mason to install the stone grinder and vertebra under the eaves outside the firewood house. After installation, Chen Mason was sent away. Then he went back to the house and started to fry the aniseed. Lift the water to clean the stone mill, stone mortar and rice pound, and then dry it.

When Li Qing came home from school in Youshi, he found Li Yu and said with a blushing face: "Sister, I made you wait for a long time. I just found a chance to ask Mr. today. The Mr. said that in front of Dayong is Dachen, who has been through more than 300 years. , Dayong has been more than one hundred and fifty years old."

   Li Yu lowered his head and thought: He might have been reborn in a parallel time and space, and since Li Yu couldn't let go of thinking about it.

Looking up at Li Qing's blushing face, he smiled to reassure Li Qing, "Aqing, don't be in a hurry, sister, you don't need to feel embarrassed if it's late, it's not that you know not to tell sister, hey! You are also studying. How do you feel after reading it for more than a month?"

  Li Qing looked at Li Yu and said seriously: "Sister, I want to study hard. First, the content in the book is so interesting. Second, I want to get a name so that the Zhang family won't dare to bully you again."

Li Yu heard from Li Qing that he first thought it was interesting to study, and then he wanted to take the test of fame. It can make people motivated to study hard.

  Li Yu looked at Li Qing's serious look, "You have to do what you can. It's not something you can achieve overnight. Don't force yourself too hard."

  Li Qing nodded and said, "Sister, I remember, I'll go chop some firewood first and come back to do my homework."

   "Okay, you can arrange it yourself." Li Yu watched Li Qing walk away with the machete and rope, and called Zhao Di to let her cook, and began to grind the aniseed himself.

  Li Mei and his wife came back in the evening with a load of peppers and cowpeas, peas and kohlrabi, two sacks of peppers, two baskets of cowpeas, and one basket each of kohlrabi and kohlrabi.

Li Mei wiped the sweat from her face, smiled and said to Li Yu, "Yu'er, I told the villagers to let them bring the extra vegetables to their own homes. The cowpeas, peppers and kohlrabi I bought today are worth a penny. Jin, dried beans and peas are a penny a penny, so many things cost less than two hundred cents."

   Li Yu looked at Li Mei's sweat-soaked hair, "Aunt, you and uncle have worked so hard for you, you should go take a bath and cool down, keep me here."

   Li Mei felt warm in her heart when she saw Li Yu caring about her, and said with a smile, "What kind of hard work is this job? I used to be scolded from morning to night when I was busy over there, that's why I complained."

  Liu Changmin put the soybeans in a sack and took the water to take a shower, then asked Di to set the meal and came out, "Mother, cousin has eaten."

   "Okay," Li Mei looked around, but didn't see Li Qing and Laidi, "Where did Ah Qing and Laidi go?"

   "One of them chopped firewood and the other went to put chickens outside the yard," Zhao Di said, and pointed to the stone mill and treadmill outside the firewood room, "Mother, you haven't found it yet!"

Only then did Li Mei discover the stone mill and tread vertebrae under the eaves porch. She happily pushed the stone mill around twice, and then touched the tread vertebra, "Zhao Di, mother has wanted these two things for a long time, your grandma is Don't take out the money to buy it, it's good now, when you have time, I will soak some beans and make bean curd for you to eat."

  Li Yu didn't expect Li Mei to make bean curd, and said with a smile: "Aunt, you can make bean curd, why don't you make tofu to sell?"

   Li Mei laughed, "I still learned from your mother to make bean curd before. My aunt had to work when she opened her eyes at Lao Liu's house, and she would be beaten and scolded by the old woman every time. How could she have the heart to help her earn money!"

  Zhao Di looked at Li Mei's happy look, and also felt that her life had been enjoyable, and smiled happily, "Mother, now that you are well, no one will scold you anymore."

   Whisper, do you have a monthly pass?
