Chapter 10 The head of the family milk dumplings
The group returned to the village soon.
After handing over the account to the old patriarch, they began to scramble to distribute the money, first giving Tang Qingshan to him.
Tang Qingshan collected the money and went into the house, and said to the old patriarch: "Uncle, there happens to be such a Qiaozong'er, I want to buy a piece of land and start a house, it can be regarded as a decent house, when the time comes, I will use this house Return it to the clan."
"The clan already has free homesteads, and you still want to buy them?" The old patriarch waved generously, "I will take you to measure a piece tomorrow! After the measurement, I will tell Li Zheng to go directly to the government to register your name." Son, the household registration booklet will be done for you, don't worry!"
Thanks to Tang Qingshan again and again.
As soon as he got home, the little girl immediately opened her arms to him with a cute face.
The corners of Tang Qingshan's mouth were slightly curved, and he handed over the money he got to his wife with one hand, and hugged his daughter with the other.
Nai Duanzi hugged his face with both hands.
Seeing that the sons were all around, the head of the family, Tang Qingshan, hid seriously.
Nai Duanzi was in a hurry, and hugged her more seriously... She was really worried, because she was afraid that her father would steal Tai Sui meat outside!
No, be sure to check it out!
Her dark grape eyes were wide open, and she leaned over to look seriously.
The majestic patriarch couldn't resist Nai Duanzi's enthusiasm, so he easily compromised and kissed his daughter.
Suddenly kissed Nai Tuanzi: "...Eh?"
All right.
Papa is so handsome, surely he wouldn't steal it behind his back?
So Nai Tuanzi smiled at him reassuringly, his eyes were crooked, showing his small white teeth.
This dumbfounded smile melted the heart of the old father. The old father was very serious... and kissed his daughter again, showing helplessness on his face and secretly refreshed in his heart.
well! My daughter loves me so much, what should I do!
The next moment, his third son with a stick stood up and snatched his younger sister. He was extremely considerate: "Father, you just came back. Are you tired? Let me hug my younger sister."
The old father looked at his son and pursed his lips.
But he didn't say anything, just sat down next to Mrs. Lin, and chatted with Mrs. Lin: "I asked the old patriarch for a piece of homestead. Let's go and have a look tomorrow and pick a suitable one. The old patriarch said no money, but we also There is no need to take advantage of this small advantage, just buy it at the price of the family. I remember that my third uncle bought it last year, so I just took a little bit of it. Two taels of silver per mu, we can't buy two or three mu of land at all. "
"That's good!" Lin Niangzi said: "If you have a place of your own, your heart will be at ease!"
Brother Tang was very calm, and then said: "As long as the contract is completed, we can build the house... We can't make bricks right now, but fortunately we have money, so let's just buy some bricks and build it quickly, shall we? "
Brother Tang said: "I'm afraid of attracting people's attention."
"It's so eye-catching," Brother Tang said, "This place is built, and it will definitely be able to live for many years. From now on, it will be our old house."
"Yes," Mrs. Lin also said: "Fan'er is right, I would rather attract people's attention than cover it up! Seriously, I will live for decades! Besides, with such a reason, everyone knows that we If you earn money, spend it quickly instead of doing nothing.”
She turned her head and asked, "The head of the house, do you think so?"
Nai Duanzi is very self-conscious as the head of the family, and nodded solemnly: "Yes!"
Ms. Lin was amused by her, and she was about to stretch out her arms to hug her. Brother Tang San couldn't bear to let go, and ran away holding her sister as if flying.
Mrs. Lin glared at her son, but didn't grab it, she said: "If you really want to build it, it will cost you a lot of money. Fan'er sees that everyone has a house, and Xinbao is a girl's house, so you have to buy it." We have a boudoir, so we have to do our best to figure it out."
Tang Qingshan thought for a while: "Let's find a masonry team to build it! Ask someone to draw us a picture."
Ms. Lin said: "Don't you ask the villagers to help you build it?"
"I'm looking for it too," Tang Qingshan said, "but I'm also looking for the masonry team! After all, we don't have a decent place right now. Even if we find people from the village, it's a hassle to eat. It's better to go directly to the masonry team. It's fine. , don’t worry. Don’t you think so?”
Nai Duanzi caught another thread: "Yes!"
Early the next morning, Tang Qingshan went to find the old patriarch.
Tang Youzhong, the eldest son of the old patriarch, took his family and Nai Tuanzi along to pick a place.
There are a lot of ready-made homesteads in the clan, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule. It is cheaper to buy homesteads from the clan without going through the government. Sixty-seven taels, when the time comes, it will be equivalent to a transfer of ownership, and there will also be a title deed.
Walking down in a circle and looking at several pieces, Tang Qingshan turned to look at his family and asked with his eyes.
Ms. Lin couldn't make up her mind, so she asked Nai Tuanzi, "Which piece of land does Xinbao like?"
Nai Tuanzi had been thinking seriously for a long time, and raised three fingers without hesitation, and said in a childish voice, "Remember two yuan!"
The teased people all laughed.
Naituanzi also found something wrong, and with the other hand, pressed down the extra little finger, and held up the two little hands together: "Remember two yuan!"
Ms. Lin couldn't help laughing, she reached out and hugged the milk dumpling: "Xinbao likes the second one?"
"Yes," Nai Tuanzi said solemnly, "There is water, so raise fish!"
Several people immediately understood.
The place is actually a bit remote. It is on the edge of the mountain. The advantage is that there is a small spring... But Yutang Village has a lot of water, and there are many springs. It is easy to dig a well without springs. Didn't care.
Since Nai Tuanzi liked it, Mrs. Lin looked back at Tang Qingshan.
Tang Qingshan said directly: "Then the second piece."
Tang Youzhong was looking at Xiao Tuanzi with a smile on his face, thinking about it, thinking that the little doll is obviously smart, why does everyone in the village say that she is a fool because she can't speak? These old ladies just don't know what to say!
Hearing this, he scratched his head: "Stop picking? I think this one is also good?"
"I don't want to pick any more," Tang Qingshan said with a smile, "Xinbao likes it, and the size of that piece is enough."
Tang Youzhong followed them back to measure the land.
He got his father's order, and originally wanted to give up more, but the land happened to be a little over three mu, which meant he didn't give up, and Tang Qingshan forced him to give him money.
When Tang Youzhong went back, he asked his father to beat him up.
The old patriarch felt sorry, so he became more active. On the same day, he and Li Zheng went to the county to get him the land deed and household registration booklet.
Tang Qingshan also followed the ox cart to the city.
He was going to resign both Mrs. Lin and Brother Tang's long-term employees after finishing the work, and then buy some straw mats and emergency pots and pans to come back.
It’s not that it’s inflated, but that it’s about to build a house. There is already a lot of work, and there are not enough people for it. There must be someone at home to cook.
Brother Tang’s health was not good, if it wasn’t for the milk dumplings, why would the family work so hard, even Brother Tang was limping, so he had to go to Lantern Workshop to do odd jobs every day.
Thinking about it this way, it is really a good thing to be able to tear yourself apart from those people.
The old house of the Tang family is at the entrance of the village. Seeing Tang Qingshan and the patriarch leaving the village in a bullock cart, Mrs. Liu spat on the ground, "Bah! A coffin that died early!"
While cursing, she felt a little happy in her heart.
She hadn't worked for so many years, and Tang Sanshui was seriously ill again when the big house suddenly left, which really made her very tired.
Besides, she was dismissed out of the blue, and she also felt ashamed, and didn't go out for two days, but thinking about Tang Qingshan's family, the farts were not taken away, and she was asked to come for the wages, and she still didn't know how to hold back Bend.
Granny Liu felt a lot more comfortable in her heart.
Deserved it! It's better for you to be poor!
While muttering and cursing, Mrs. Hu, the neighbor to the west, saw her at a glance and came over with a smile: "Hey, old sister, you don't know yet, do you?"
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Hu have always been at odds, knowing that she is just here to see her jokes, so she rolled her eyes and was about to go in.
Mrs. Hu raised her voice and yelled: "Your family's Qingshan is well-developed. It's a pity, you are not from the Tang family, so you can't get involved!"
Granny Liu turned her head abruptly: "What do you mean developed?"
