228. Red Deed Obtains a Stone

After receiving the red deed for 300 acres of land, Yue Jiuyue read it again and again, finally taking a step closer to his dream life, and it was a big step.

The red deed was passed around among several sons and daughters-in-law. Although the words were incomplete, it did not dampen their excitement.

"Mom! This is really three hundred acres of land! The three hills behind our house will belong to our family from now on! Oh, I have a biological mother! From now on, our family will be the owner of the land!

"

"Isn't that right! With so much land, there are only three men in our family. Do we have to live directly on the land in the future?"

"Even if we live in the land, we can't finish planting the older land!"

Isn't this just what is happening on the spot? People's joys and sorrows are different from each other.

"Let's not talk about farming. Tomorrow, I will go to the village chief's house and tell him that our family wants to surround three hills and needs a lot of mud or square stones. Call the village chief

Make more when you have time, and we will collect it when the time comes. Please discuss the price with the village chief first, so don't make it too expensive."

Although she felt that Village Chief Lin was not a good village leader who would deceive others, this did not stop her from wanting to save money.

"Okay, I'll go talk to the uncle tomorrow."

Lin Chaodong took care of the matter and didn't worry so much about what to do. He took his two younger brothers and went out.

During dinner, Yue Jiuyue learned that the three brothers had gone to pick up loess several times and came back to start making clay bricks, hoping to save money for the family.

Yue Jiuyue could only sigh again, the original owner really raised four good sons!

The next day, Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei went with the village to buy water. One of them followed the villagers to haul water on a cart, and the other rode a balancing cart with a basket tied to carry water. Lin Chaodong went to the village chief's house to find the village chief.

Discuss the matter of clay.

Not long after, Lin Chaodong came back. He went straight to Yue Jiuyue's room and knocked on the door with "Bang Bang Bang".

When Yue Jiuyue came out, he drank two bowls of water, burped, and then told Yue Jiuyue the results of his discussion with the village chief.

"The village chief said that the water shortage is serious now. There is not enough water in the fields. It is not suitable to make mud bricks. The price is too low and there is not enough money for water. If the price is too high, our family seems to be taken advantage of. He suggested that the village go to the mountains to dig stones.

, if mother agrees, one penny per stone."

The stone Lin Chaodong was talking about was a large stone that was over half a meter long and about thirty centimeters in width and thickness. If nothing else, just getting it from the mountains and polishing it was very labor-intensive.

.

Of course, the stone won't be polished very well. The surface will be bumpy, but the general shape will be okay.

"OK."

Stone is more affordable than mud, and stone is stronger and more durable than mud. It can be used to build courtyard walls. This is definitely Yue Jiuyue's first choice.

"Then it's settled. I'll go tell the village chief again. It just so happens that most of the people in the village are idle. There are no part-time jobs in the town or county that can allow them to earn money at home. They

Definitely willing."

Yes, how could anyone not want to.

It's just a small amount of effort. The whole family works together to get ten stones a day, which is ten cents. If you work harder, you can buy two buckets of water, and you can water the crops in the field with two more buckets of water.

Maybe we can harvest two more handfuls of wheat next month.

Those who are in better shape will chisel stones, while those who are not as strong as others will find another way.
