Chapter 416 Discuss together
The old village chief looked at Hu Wenhua and said, "At the beginning, our village only built walls along the outermost houses. After the branches and leaves spread out, they had to split up. Once the family split up, the village seemed cramped and had to extend to the sides and the back;
Your sister's house is on the left side of the village, and it is impossible to extend there;
There are many livestock in the back mountain. As you know, if you choose the back, the livestock will be noisy and the villagers will walk back and forth to feed the livestock, and it will not be quiet. Secondly, the weather is hot and there may be some smells drifting over. It is not the best choice;
Then there is a large area on the right side of the village, which is also reserved for the children of the village, but my opinion is the one on the far right side close to the mountain."
Hu Wenhua listened carefully and recalled the hill on the far right.
Wang Guifen was familiar with Shanshui Village as if it were her own home. She immediately thought of the mountain her father-in-law mentioned and reminded him, "Dad, isn't the mountain on the far right the Zhao family's? Although the land in front of the mountain doesn't belong to his family, it's easy to cause conflicts in the future, isn't it?"
The old village chief sighed, "It's the Zhao family. You all know what happened before the New Year. Three people in his family died at once. All the men and women in their prime were injured or disabled.
There are only a few half-grown children at home. I have to wash clothes, cook and take care of them, take care of the fields and vegetables, and feed poultry, rabbits and livestock. Their family came to Shanshui Village early and there are many mountains, so they can't take care of it at all. A few days ago, they asked us if we wanted to buy it. I said that our family didn't have enough manpower to take care of it, so I asked me to ask if anyone in the village wanted to buy it.
I was thinking of asking Shuiqing, but since you came first, I thought I would ask you if you wanted it first."
Wang Guifen and Zhang Hui understood.
They definitely can't buy it. Other families either have too many mountains or too few people. Even if they have some money, they are reluctant to buy mountains and forests for the time being. Only Shuiqing's family has money, people and industries, and they can take care of the mountains and forests completely.
But if Hu Wenhua wants to settle down in Shanshui Village, he must need more than just land to build a house, and he should also need other things, right?
When he heard that there was a whole mountain forest, Hu the butcher's eyes lit up!
These days, they helped their daughter plant and dig medicinal herbs, as well as kudzu roots and the like, and in between they cut firewood, picked fruits, picked mushrooms, and dug wild vegetables... They just felt that the mountain was so good, it was a treasure!
For them, it was better and more practical than fields!
The child's mother often said that it would be great if they could also buy a mountain.
God, this is really a pillow sent when you doze off.
He hurriedly asked, "Yes! Brother, do you know how much silver it is?"
The old village chief said a little embarrassedly, "It's not cheap. Before, Fan Damu sold the fields and forests to Shuiqing, and the mountain was almost given away for free. The Zhao family sold it separately, and the asking price was ten taels of silver, and the lowest price was eight taels."
Wang Guifen and Zhang Hui thought at the same time that it was indeed not cheap!
You know, eight taels of silver can marry a wife. These mountains were barren mountains in the past. There were no trees growing on them. There were only miscellaneous trees used as firewood and some mushrooms and wild vegetables.
But then he thought that the present is different from the past. Now the people in the village have more or less money saved. The most important thing is that now the mountain can also grow medicinal herbs, and at worst, they can grow kudzu roots to fill their stomachs, as well as mushrooms and wild vegetables. Eight taels is not an exorbitant price.
When Hu Wenhua, the butcher, heard that the old village chief said it was not cheap, his heart was lifted, thinking that it would cost dozens of taels!
But when he heard that the asking price was only ten taels, and eight taels could get it, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Wenhua smiled and said, "Fan Damu's situation was different at that time. The flood had just occurred and the fields were severely damaged. It was unknown how many years it would take to recover. The forest did not generate any income. Even the kudzu root was unknown at that time. It was reasonable that it was worthless.
Now this eight taels is not too high. We want it, but whether to build a house on the front land, we need to go back and discuss with my sister and brother-in-law."
Hu the butcher immediately reacted. Not only was it far from Qing'er's home, but it was also not close to Ding's home. He had to go back and discuss it!
He bowed to the old village chief and said, "Brother, we definitely want the mountain. I'll go get the silver now. Please help me go to the Zhao family when you are free to write a document or something."
The old village chief was most concerned about these land deeds and documents. He stood up and smiled and said, "I'll go now. If I can sell it so quickly, I believe the Zhao family will be relieved."
Hu the butcher really admired the old village chief. He worked hard for the people in the village and didn't complain at all.
The two stood up and said goodbye, and walked back quickly.
Hu the butcher talked about the mountain with his wife and daughter. They all agreed, took the silver and rushed to the old village chief's house without stopping.
Hu Wenhua found Jiajia, and invited Ding Heli and Qin Yilin to discuss together in the tea room of his sister's house.
Ding Jiajia's head almost drooped under the table, and her fair cheeks were originally just pink, but now they were directly red.
Before an incense stick, her parents came to her and told her that Wenhua liked her. At the beginning, her father had misunderstood. Now Hu's parents asked Sister Shuiqing to ask their family for their opinions. They had no objections, so they asked her if she had any objections?
At that time, she felt that her brain was like a ball of paste. How did it get to the point of asking her opinion?
Seeing that she didn't answer, her parents thought she didn't like it and didn't want to, and were discussing how to refuse. She could only hurriedly express that she had no objection.
Looking at the expression of her parents trying to hold back their laughter, she realized that her parents did it on purpose!
Before I had time to get angry, Wenhua invited me to discuss the location of the house....
Ding Heli and Qin Yilin didn't expect the Hu family to still ask them to choose together. They could only look at their daughter and remind her: "Jia Jia, you say it. After all, you two will live here in the future."
Ding Jia Jia's ears were visibly red, and her head drooped even lower.
Shui Qing thought that it was very common to ask for opinions when buying a new house for a couple in China, and a girl could analyze the pros and cons openly, so she said: "Jia Jia, your parents are right. After all, you will live here for a long time, so you must feel good, right?"
Hu's mother also smiled and said: "Qing'er is right. Jia Jia is not an outsider here. You can say whatever you think!"
Ding Jia Jia hummed inaudibly, and her little head finally lifted up a little.
Her watery eyes only looked at Shui Qing, afraid of catching a glimpse of the hot man next to her.
Hu Wenhua was very happy. Seeing that Jia Jia only looked at his sister, he just wanted to change seats with his sister.
But he only dared to think about it. Now that Jiajia finally agreed to speak, he dared not act rashly.
Ding Jiajia thought for a while and said, "It's just a little far from Sister Shuiqing."
Shuiqing smiled, "It's okay. How far can a village be? Walking a little bit is just exercise. Are there any other problems besides this?"
Ding Jiajia looked at his parents again.
