Seeing Ye Chuqiu and others coming, Li Youmei and others who had been waiting at the end of the village seemed a little excited. Erhu and the others also came over quickly, looking at Ye Chuqiu with eyes full of expectation, even with tears in their eyes.
"What's up? We haven't seen each other for a few days, and everyone has this look on their face. Are they afraid that I'll run away?" Seeing their looks, Ye Chuqiu felt a little funny.
"Sister-in-law, we are not afraid that you will run away, but we are a little afraid that you will leave us alone." Li Youmei took a step forward and held her hand, looking particularly intimate.
"Second younger brother and sister, this is not like you." Ye Chuqiu said and pulled his arm away from her hand.
She knows Li Youmei's character. She is needed now. When will she not be needed, she will quarrel with her again over trivial matters.
"Sister-in-law, are you done with your affairs?" Lin Qingyun came forward and asked.
"It's done." Ye Chuqiu responded, took out the household registration from his arms and handed it to them, "We have settled in Lin'an Village for everyone. Here, this is the household registration."
"After that, we will live here peacefully?" Lin Qingyun asked again.
"Yes, I have chosen a homestead for everyone, it is on the mountain a little ahead." Ye Chuqiu pointed to the place and said, "That's what I think, let's go and sleep on our homestead today.
Let’s chop some wood and build a wooden house or something.”
"Have you selected the homestead site?"
Hearing this, everyone was very happy.
"Well, you've made your choice, pack your things, and I'll take you there right away."
Ye Chuqiu nodded, and everyone's faces were filled with joy. They quickly packed their things and followed Ye Chuqiu to their new "home".
Ye Chuqiu walked all the way down, passed Lin'an Village, and then climbed up the slope with difficulty from a small road. The road was muddy, and the horse had to pull the cart up, and everyone had to push it for a while before it went up the slope smoothly.
.
"This... this place looks weird and spooky."
When they reached a slightly flatter road, Li Youmei couldn't help but say.
"Is it spooky? Probably because down here is the cemetery of Lin'an Village." Ye Chuqiu pointed casually, not hiding anything.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid? Why did you choose a place like this?"
Li Youmei said that she was a bit superstitious. When Ye Chuqiu said that there was a cemetery underneath, she felt more and more gloomy, as if there were some weird things floating inside.
"What are the dead people to be afraid of? It's not like we haven't seen dead people along the way."
Ye Chuqiu said, "Didn't you tell me before that you want an inconspicuous place? I think it's okay on the mountain, it's not conspicuous, and there are roads leading down the mountain, and you can enter the city without passing through Lin'an Village. In the future, we want
If you go into town to buy something, you won’t attract attention.”
"Sister-in-law is right."
Lin Qingyun said quickly: "Sister-in-law can help us settle down, which is already a huge talent. Now that we are new here, it will be good to have a homestead. Why should we be picky?"
The last words he said were to Li Youmei. Li Youmei knew this, but she had always had good hopes for the future. She really didn't like this mountain very much.
"Actually, the director also gave me two places to choose from."
Ye Chuqiu thought for a while, then told her what the liangzhang told her before, and then said: "If you are not satisfied with this mountainous area, you can live somewhere else. The liangzhang hasn't gone to apply for the house deed for us yet.
, you only need to spend a little money to get a good place."
"Is it really okay?"
Li Youmei was really moved. She was a lively person and really didn't want to live in the mountains. There was no village or shop in the back, and it was all thorns and shrubs. She was very afraid of it and didn't like it.
"If you want to change to another place, I can take you to see the house manager. It won't be a problem." Ye Chuqiu said: "Everyone has different preferences. A house is a lifetime event. You can choose what you like. There is no need to do it."
You want to live with us."
"Sister-in-law, no, no, really no, this place is pretty good, close to the mountain, and convenient for hunting." Lin Qingyun said something in front of Li Youmei, and glared at Li Youmei, signaling her not to be picky.
Li Youmei finally wanted to listen to Lin Qingyun on important matters, so she hung her head in disappointment and stopped talking.
"It's right here, Dahu has driven the stakes."
Ye Chuqiu took them to the homestead and said: "Let me tell you first, this mountain land costs one tael of silver per acre. In addition, I have to ask the village chief to go to the Yamen to apply for the land deed. It also costs money. In total, it is
Two taels of silver per acre, you see how much space you need, you pick it first, and after you’ve picked it, I’ll take the rest.”
Looking at the barren mountains and ridges, the joyful expressions on the faces of the adults had long since disappeared, but the children, on the other hand, were very happy.
In the future, my family will live in the mountains. Wouldn’t it be much more convenient to go and play in the mountains?
Brothers Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingshi got together to discuss. They didn't want such a big place. It was not easy to make money. An acre of homestead was worth 2 taels of silver. They could eat as much food as they wanted. The place was big, and there was only so much space that needed to be built.
Many, they don’t have the money or strength.
"Sister-in-law, all we need is five cents of land each."
In the end, brothers Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingshi reached an agreement.
Ye Chuqiu nodded, "Okay, I'll give you the land inside, and the two acres outside are all mine."
"good."
The two brothers had no objections and each went to work with their families.
Now that they have settled down, it's time for them to plan for their own families separately, and they can no longer stay with Ye Chuqiu.
The same was true for Ye Chuqiu. Dahu immediately brought a few younger brothers. He first chopped wood piles and simply built a row of dividing lines. Then he took a hoe and sorted out a flat piece of land, intending to use it to build a wooden house.
"Dahu, the wooden house is built on top."
Ye Chuqiu pointed to the foundation of his house and said: "Tomorrow we have to go to the village to ask people to build a house on the ground. By then, if you build a wooden house, it will be inconvenient for us to live in it."
"Okay, just listen to mother."
Lin Dahu responded and started to level the ground near the top of the foundation. That area would be a good place to grow some vegetables or flowers after Ye Chuqiu.
Because his wandering days were over and he would soon have a home, he was full of energy even though he was tired.
Lin Erhu was the same, holding a hoe and standing next to Lin Dahu, full of energy. Even Lin Sanhu, who always liked to be lazy, was holding a sickle and cutting the grass on the ground.
"Come on, let's go help too."
Lin Sihu glanced at Lin Wufeng and walked up with a hoe. The two of them didn't know how to use force. They hoeed here and there, and they didn't look like they were working. However, Ye Chuqiu let them
.
Everyone wants to contribute to the new house, and of course she won't stop it.
