Chapter 4 “New” House

With the notarization from the village chief, Mei Mei and the hostess each received twenty taels of silver, one acre of paddy field, two acres of dry land, plus ten jins of wheat and fifty jins of corn after their families separated.

After that, the village chief didn't care about the distribution of pots, pans and other odds and ends, and let them go home and clean up by themselves.

However, Old Man Mei and the others were also very angry. After dividing the money and land deeds in front of the village chief, he threatened to tell them to go back and pack up and get out of the old house.

Look at this, the Mei family doesn't want to take them in tonight.

But at this moment, few people in the crowd watching the excitement complained about Mei Qi and the two families because of Old Man Mei's behavior.

Wei Meili, who was standing in the crowd but did not step forward, could see this clearly.

These days, in which family don’t a few brothers live with the elderly?

Even though there are many people who know that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Mei are usually partial, but their fingers are different in length, and none of them dare to say that a bowl of water in their home is even?

If everyone breaks up like Lao Mei's family after a disagreement, will they still live together?

Therefore, many people in the village thought it was reasonable for Old Man Mei and others to directly drive people away after they separated. They would have kicked people out if they were so angry.

After the spectators dispersed, the heroine also took the opportunity to ask the village chief if there were any vacant houses in the village for temporary residence.

Even if they apply for homestead land immediately, building a house will not be completed in a day. They urgently need the existing house to live in, and then they can move in after the new house is built.

The village chief Wu Youcai is not unreasonable. This is what he wanted to say.

He mentioned two houses, one at the head of the village and one at the end of the village.

One is an adobe house that has been in disrepair, and the other is an Orion wooden house near the back mountain where wild animals occasionally appear.

Meiberry remembered that in the original book, the heroine's family chose a wooden house at the end of the village near the back mountain, so she originally planned to remind her father to choose the house at the head of the village, but her father was obviously faster than her.

And they also took the initiative to choose the adobe house at the head of the village.

After hearing this, the village chief added: "That house has not been lived in for many years. Although the quality of the house is not satisfactory...but the land is good. If a new house is built there in the future, it will be much better to clean up."

Mei Youqian, the shabby adobe house at the end of the village, has memories in his body. The previous owner was also assigned to Jinshui Village because his hometown suffered a disaster and his relatives died.

After they got married, he took his wife to another place to do business and never came back. It was only after many years that people from the village returned from the village that they brought back the news that the owner of the house had died in a foreign country and that his wife had also remarried.

Even though the place is close to the stream at the entrance of the village, the terrain is high, and there is a bamboo forest behind the house. If it is taken care of well, it is indeed a good place as the village chief said.

However, people in the village were superstitious that the house was unlucky because the person who lived in it had a bad status and would not have a happy death in the end, so the house had been abandoned ever since.

"It's not expensive to go to the town to apply for that piece of land..."

After Village Chief Wu finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the expression on Mei Youqian's face. Mei Mei also secretly glanced at the village chief over there. She was quite confused. After what the village chief said so much, he actually wanted their family to live there.

Then you still don’t want to live there?

"Thank you very much, village chief. When things get better, I will come to thank the village chief."

Mei Youqian did not immediately agree to move down and build a house at a new address. Wu Youcai didn't say anything more about it and just asked them to go home and tidy up first, stop causing trouble and live a good life.

What happened at Lao Mei's house today was enough for the villagers in Jinshui Village to chat for a long time.

After dividing up the property and deciding on a new address, Mei Youqian proudly led his family of three back to the Mei family's old home to prepare for the move.

As a result, when they returned to the Mei family's old house, they found the door closed.

The baggage they had packed earlier had been left outside, including dozens of kilograms of grain.

Although the baggage now looks like it has been piled up, the dust rolling on it tells you how it came out.

Then looking at the heroine’s family with the same baggage packed and piled outside, what else can’t be seen?

Miao, who was guarding the two families' luggage there uneasily, saw her husband, daughter, and second-fang's family all coming back. She immediately turned red, opened her mouth, and spoke in a voice that was comparable to a mosquito's hum.

Anyway, Mei Bei didn't hear what she was saying, but Mei Sanma heard it clearly and helped Miao explain to everyone that Mrs. Zhang came back and asked Dafang and the others to help "move" together.

Oops, that's quite euphemistic.

Isn't it just a matter of getting out of the house?

Mei Youqian felt that the Mei family's petty behavior was something they could do.

He looked up at the sun that was getting higher, took the initiative to pick up the two burdens that the family of three had barely collected together with the food, and walked towards his new home.

But before leaving here completely, Wei Meili still remembered the chive box that her daughter missed.

She asked Mei Youqian to pack her luggage immediately, while she invited Miao from the third room to go pick vegetables from the vegetable garden behind the old house.

The heroine Mei You, who has traveled through time in the apocalypse, is absolutely obsessed with food. When she hears about picking vegetables, she will follow her to see them.

Seeing this, Meiberry naturally followed.

Seeing Meiberry coming over, Wei Meili stared at Meiberry, which looked like a bean sprout, and said, "Don't move around, sit down under that tree."

Her daughter's figure is so bad now. She is not as tall as an eight-year-old child at the age of twelve.

She was so thin that she couldn't bear to work in the fields.

Although Mei Mei had no intention of going to the fields, but her mother spoke too quickly, she followed her mother's words and walked to the locust tree at the door of the vegetable field to sit down in the shade.

Then I saw Wei Meili start to harvest leeks, which was the goal of her trip.

"Erya, third brother and sister, look at how beautiful the spring vegetables are growing in the vegetable garden! This is all the credit of me and you, brother and sister, and we deserve this division of the family!"

Not only the leeks, but the growth of the cabbage on the side is also very gratifying.

Wei Meili kept moving her hands and talking a lot: "Third brothers and sisters, look at how tender these cabbages are. Tonight, I will make a pot of hand-made noodles and add a handful of cabbages to make them very fresh!"

Or it's delicious stir-fried! And look at how tender these leeks are, the first spring leeks are delicious when stir-fried! I plan to make a leek box for my daughter tonight, how about you, my third brother and sister?"

"Everything is fine, I haven't thought about it yet..." Miao's voice was still small, but it also sounded filled with excitement and expectation.

"It doesn't matter if you don't think about it. It's all thanks to you and me that these vegetables can grow. We all deserve it!"

Wei Meili's words of "you and I have contributed" to the right of "we deserve it" are like brainwashing, and successfully made Miao, a soft bun, and the heroine who is not very clear about the situation but also very greedy for the new and exciting things in front of her, get active.

.

As a result, Miao and Mei You's movements became more and more fierce.

Seeing this, Mei Qian felt that they were not picking vegetables.

Whose family picks vegetables and digs into someone else’s ancestral grave?
