Chapter 46
They allocate land here based on the capitation system. One adult has one acre of land. Those who do not have a crown or hairpin are all divided as children regardless of their age, and each person gets seven points of land!
Xu Maqian and his family of three were allocated two acres and seven cents of land, and the Wang Yuqing brothers were allocated one acres and four cents of land!
Yao felt a little unhappy when he heard where his family had arrived. There were four people in their family, two older and two younger!
However, the two children were already close to fifteen years old and could be considered adults. However, they were still given seven points of land as children.
Therefore, their family was allocated a total of three acres and four quarters of land!
Can such a small amount provide food, clothing, and chewing for their family for a year?
However, Gu Huairui and his wife didn't care very much. They were allocated two acres of land, but they had never thought about farming.
According to Lin Lu's idea, she could do any business to make their family have enough food and clothing.
Why go to the trouble of planting something to make ends meet!
It doesn't matter to Gu Huaiyu's family. Neither of them are able to farm, so to them it's just a number.
As long as their family can have enough to eat!
After everyone divided the land, the ten heads of each household took them to allocate houses.
This time, the remaining ten households plus the Wang Mingqing brothers chose three households.
It just happened to make up for the missing few households among the ten households he managed.
There are three houses, one is in the middle and the other two are on the sides, close to a river.
There are five people in the family selected with them, two older and three younger!
It was a pair of middle-aged parents with two adult sons and a shy girl about twelve or thirteen years old.
Along the way, they also knew that Wang Yuqing had a good relationship with the Gu family, so they took the initiative and said, "Let's live over there! You can live together."
Xu Muchian looked at the woman who was speaking, smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
The woman followed her words and said with a smile, "It's okay, we are all in the same team, and we will all be neighbors from now on, so we should keep in touch."
Xu Muzhen nodded, seeing that this family was quite down-to-earth, and they were all exiled from the capital together, so it would be good to have more friends.
Yu Shihu watched them choose their own houses and felt very happy.
He said: "Okay, since you have chosen the house yourself, that's it!"
"Also, I would like to remind you that this is not the capital city. You should also put down your previous status as soon as possible and integrate here."
"Now we are about to enter the severe cold winter. The winter here is very cold. It is so cold that you can't even imagine it. Therefore, I advise you to clean up your house and repair the places that need to be repaired as soon as possible."
"Also, the fire kang must not be removed. People from the capital often dismantle the fire kang to buy a bed because they are not used to sleeping on the fire kang. In winter, some people freeze to death."
More than ten households talked about some things to pay attention to here.
Xu Muqian also memorized it very carefully. This was very useful information and would save them a lot of detours.
Looking at the grateful people, Yu Shihu felt a little relieved. He didn't want to choose some arrogant people to join his team.
We are all smart people, and we can understand some things in our own minds without saying them out loud. If he chooses something good, what he says in the future will also help him.
Yu Shihu said again: "You guys pack it up as soon as possible. Tomorrow I will take you to the assigned land to have a look and prepare the land certification documents."
"Thank you, Yu Shihu!" Both families said their thanks.
"Well! That's it. I'll live in the courtyard at the top. It's easy to find. If you have anything, come find me!" Yu Shihu said and left!
The woman from that family exchanged greetings with Xu Maqian for a few more words and then left.
They are all anxious to check out their houses because there are many things to do, such as how to live and eat tonight?
What more than ten households said was that it was a very cold winter, and how many things would they need to purchase and repair in order to survive it.
These are all problems, and they are serious problems!
The five of them, Xu Muzhen, came to the house they had been allocated. Both houses had the same layout, with three adobe houses.
A crumbling gate and a yard full of weeds, showing desolation everywhere!
One place is very clean, the yard is clean, and there is a small vegetable garden with Chinese cabbage left by the previous owner!
This is very good, and it can be seen that the previous people were very good at cleaning up.
This house is very suitable for the Wang Yuqing brothers to live in. The earthen kang is also ready-made in the house, and there are also some simple tables and chairs.
After a little cleaning, and buying some bedding and kitchen utensils, the place can be occupied.
Xu Maqian chose a neighboring house and gave this cleaner and cleaner house to Wang Yuqing.
Wang Yuqing knew that the Gu family and his wife were deliberately taking care of the two brothers, and he was very grateful. He just looked at them quietly and said, "Thank you!"
"Thank you for what? We will be neighbors from now on. If anything happens, just come to us, got it?" Gu Huaijin patted Wang Yuqing and said.
He always felt that this child was not very young, but he was very preoccupied. He often sat silently and meditated.
They took Gu Zhao back to the nearby yard. Gu Huaijin just wanted to touch the door to comfort Xu Muzhen, saying that at least there was a door.
Then there was a "pop" sound, and the two doors hit the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Xu Muqian quickly took Gu Zhao to the side and said, "Brother Zhao, get out of the way. The ashes will fall on your head later."
Gu Huaijin, who was covered in dust, felt sad for a while.
What should I do if my wife only loves her son but not him?
He also wants his wife's care and love!
When the dust fell, Xu Maqian and Gu Zhao looked at Gu Huaijin, who had dust on his head and face, and laughed.
Gu Zhao held his belly and said, "Daddy is so funny! He has become the little cat my mother said he was."
"They really look alike! However, your dad is not a little tabby cat, he is a big tabby cat!"
"Okay, how dare you laugh at me? Let's see if I don't scratch you."
Gu Huaijin smiled and wanted to rub the dust on his hands into the faces of the two women, so that they would become tabby cats like him, and they would laugh at him.
"Brother Zhao, let's run quickly, the tabby cat is here to scratch you." Xu Mu smiled slightly and pulled Gu Zhao forward.
How could they, a woman and a child, outrun Gu Huaijin, a grown man? When they saw Gu Huaijin hugging them and putting his hands on their faces to put ashes on them, they heard a teasing laugh.
"The relationship between your family is so good!"
The frightening Gu Huaijin stopped for a moment.
