"Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin, let me take you for a walk outside."
While waiting for Lin Dahu and the others, Chen Sanniang saw that they were a little restless and said.
"Okay, thank you very much."
Ye Chuqiu responded and followed Chen Sanniang out. Chen Sanniang led them while introducing them, "Well, the people in the village live over there. Our house is closer to the outside of the village."
"It's good to be close to the outside of the village. The place is big." Ye Chuqiu replied.
“Our place is big, but it’s just not as safe as living in a village.”
Chen Sanniang said, "There was no room to build a house in the village, so Tie Sheng moved here. There used to be a small slope here. I heard from Tie Sheng that he and his father dug the soil for a long time before they built it like this."
A homestead.”
"That's really hard work." Ye Chuqiu nodded in agreement.
"Yes." Chen Sanniang nodded, "Although this place allows outsiders to settle down, when outsiders come, you have to have a place to live. We in the village have to find a place outside the village. These outsiders don't have to live there."
I know where to stay."
After that, she looked at Ye Chuqiu again, "Aunt Lin, I'm not talking about you. If you want to live in the village, Tiesheng and I are in full support. I'm talking about others. Many people have lived on that mountain.
.”
As she spoke, she pointed to the mountain for Ye Chuqiu to look at. Ye Chuqiu took a closer look and realized that there were really people living in the middle of the mountainside, among the shadowy trees.
"Living on the mountain also has the advantages of living on the mountain. At least you are more comfortable. Living in the village will make you talk more." Ye Chuqiu replied.
"It's good to be free, but it's inconvenient. You have to climb a hill to get home from work. There are many snakes and insects on the mountain, and there are also jackals on snowy days. It's too unsafe." Chen Sanniang looked down upon building a house on the mountain.
Not pleasing to the eye.
"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it. I think this place is just right for you, Sanniang. It's big and quiet, and it's close to the village. If anything happens, just call out. It's still safe."
"Compared with those of outsiders, my home's land is a little better. After all, Tie Sheng in the village is a bit thin."
Hearing Ye Chuqiu praise their family, Chen Sanniang covered her mouth and laughed again, and asked: "Aunt Lin, if you guys settle down, where do you plan to live?"
"If we can really settle down in Lin'an Village, we will need your help in choosing where to build our homestead," Ye Chuqiu said.
"Oh, you still have to make the decision on such a big matter." Chen Sanniang smiled and led them back.
After the few people went back, they waited for a long time, until the sunset glow disappeared, and Lin Dahu and Huang Tiesheng came back.
"Dahu, how are you?" Zhao Hehua stepped forward and asked anxiously.
Lin Dahu did not answer, but nodded to her in relief, then walked to Ye Chuqiu, lowered his head and said, "Mom, we are back."
"How's it going?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
"Thanks to Brother Huang's help, the district chief agreed to help us settle in. Tomorrow he will go to the Yamen to help us register." Lin Dahu replied.
"Have you told the village chief about the homestead?" Ye Chuqiu asked again.
"Well, there are few housing sites in the village. The head of the village said that when the time comes, we can allocate a piece of mountainous land and build houses for us." Lin Dahu said, "I thought that we had just arrived and didn't ask about buying the land. I thought about all this later.
Say it again."
"Okay." Ye Chuqiu nodded and praised him, "Dahu is becoming more and more capable, and things are done very well."
"Mother." Lin Dahu scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed, "It's all thanks to Brother Huang's help."
"Brother Tiesheng has helped us a lot. Once we settle down, we have to treat them to a good meal." Ye Chuqiu said.
Huang Tiesheng heard this and said: "Ms. Lin, there's no need to be polite. It's all a simple effort."
"Your little effort is a great favor to us, Brother Tiesheng, please rest assured that we are all repaying kindness. Living here will definitely not cause you any trouble." Ye Chuqiu promised.
"I know, I know." Huang Tiesheng nodded repeatedly, "I know you are all simple farmers."
"Yes." Ye Chuqiu nodded, "My biggest dream is to own a villa with flowers blooming inside, and a large rice field with the sound of insects and the golden color of the rice."
"Hey, actually we have the same idea." Huang Tiesheng said: "I just thought about working as a escort for a few years. After I save money, I will buy a few more acres of land. Then I will be at home with Sanniang and farm hard.
field."
"May we all realize our dreams as soon as possible." Ye Chuqiu said with a smile.
…
Early the next morning, Lin Dahu drove an ox cart and acted as the driver to send Huang Tiesheng and the mayor of Lin'an Village to the Yamen of Dongyang City to do some business. Since Dongyang City was not far from Lin'an Village, they returned before noon.
The oxcart stopped directly in front of Huang Tiesheng's house, and the village chief also came. Only then did Ye Chuqiu meet Zhang Huaiyuan, the village chief of Lin'an Village.
Zhang Huaiyuan looks like he is in his fifties. He is tall and thin. He wears a black yarmulke on his head and has a goatee. He is energetic and has bright eyes. Although he is just an ordinary liar.
, but his long black gauze makes him stand out from the ordinary villagers in this village.
"I have met the village chief. I am Lin Ye, Lin Dahu's mother. Thanks to the kindness of the village chief, we are able to live in peace in Lin'an Village." Ye Chuqiu bowed to Zhang Li.
"Are you Lin Dahu's mother?"
Zhang Huaiyuan looked at Lin Dahu on the side. Lin Dahu was tall and tall. Due to years of hard work, his skin was bronze and he had thick and powerful arms. He was only nineteen years old, but he looked like a young man in his twenties or thirties, so
He doubted that such a young woman could give birth to such a big son.
"Chief, this is my biological mother, this is my mother-in-law, and this is my daughter."
Lin Dahu and Zhang Huaiyuan introduced each other one by one. Zhang Huaiyuan put his hands behind his back and nodded slightly, "I agree with you to settle in Lin'an Village. Firstly, it is because it is not easy for you to come all the way. Secondly, for Huang Tiesheng's sake, it is Tiesheng who gave me the gift.
I agree to help you because of your guarantee. I hope that after you settle down, you will do your duty and be a down-to-earth person."
"Don't worry, we will never cause any trouble for you." Ye Chuqiu replied, while Lin Dahu also nodded.
"That's good." Zhang Huaiyuan responded, and at Huang Tiesheng's warm invitation, he went inside to drink tea.
The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. In this era, in the eyes of ordinary people, just a village chief is a very big shot. If Ye Chuqiu wants to settle here, it is essential to have a good relationship with the village chief.
Fortunately, Lin Dahu is a good person. Just for settling here, he gave the local manager five taels of silver in benefits. When he went to the city, all the expenses were naturally covered by him.
When he was in Dongyang City, he bought good wine and good food, such as roasted chicken, roasted goose, roasted duck, and some braised pig heads, braised pig tails, braised elbows and other dishes to go with the wine. Lin Dahu borrowed the land to treat the guests. After finishing the meal, Zhang Huaiyuan
