Chapter 419 I just want you to come back safely
Hu Wenhua's purchase of land to build a house made the people of Shanshui Village anxious about the aging boys and girls in their families. On the other hand, it made people in the family more likely to split up and move out if the family had too many people to live in. strong.
Fan Qiye's family has a large population and cannot live in it anymore. The land in Shanshui Village is limited, so the separation of the family has been on the agenda for a long time.
Half a tael of silver can buy an acre of wasteland. This time, the Sun and Zhao families could not send anyone to send medicinal materials to the Shuiqing family, so the quota was empty. Their family had one more person. When two men went out, they could bring back at least eight or nine taels. silver!
In addition to what he had saved before, excluding Fan Xiaoliu's marriage, it was enough to buy land and build a house for his son who had moved away to live in another house.
The new house was financed by the father-in-law of the family. It is still an adobe house with gray tiles. In addition, it is large and has a square plan. The originally reluctant son and daughter-in-law, under the leadership of Hu Wenhua, were afraid that they would be late and not have a good location!
Most of the daughters-in-law from other families want to live apart from each other, but the three daughters-in-law of Aunt Li's family don't want to or are unwilling to do so. However, Aunt Li still decides on a piece of land.
Tiantian is already seventeen this year, which is not uncommon in the entire Ming Dynasty. The marriage proposal will only take place in the past two years, and it will not be later than next year at the latest.
Prepare first so that you won't be too busy with half a tael of silver when the time comes.
Aunt Li felt in a daze that now that she had the money, she was really strong-willed. In the past, she could not make up her mind even if she had half a tael of silver, but now she can make a decision easily.
She looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, Feng Dayan, and warned, "The Hu family has invited you to be the matchmaker. We must handle this matter beautifully."
Feng Dayan smiled and said: "My daughter-in-law knows, how did our family live in such a good life? Wenhua mother and daughter-in-law are not familiar with each other, so it must be sister-in-law Shui Qing who recommended me. If I don't want to do something beautiful, isn't she the one I'm most sorry for?" ?”
Aunt Li agreed, feeling relieved, and then said: "Jiajia and Tiantian are the same age and are about to get married. Tiantian can also talk about the marriage."
Feng Dayan originally wanted to make fun of her mother-in-law for being impatient, but then thought that if she was looking for a son-in-law, it would still be in the village, which would be different from the past, "It's about my little sister's happiness, we have to choose carefully.
By the way, let the head of the family take the third child to clear out the wasteland and the fence during this period. It is estimated that it will be the same as ours here, and each household will be built in sections. Since the younger sister wants to live there, You have to cover it up quickly. "
"Your sister-in-law is more considerate than her own brother!" Aunt Li said with a smile.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are chatting here, and every household in the village over there is talking about these things.
Before the trip to deliver the medicinal materials, the whole village was surprisingly lively.
The Shui Qing family was originally considered to be a leisurely family.
Most of her family's fields and forests were planted with medicinal herbs last autumn. She has many livestock and the reclaimed land and reserved land were plowed early. People in the village still need to harvest potatoes. Her family only needs to wait for the potatoes to be delivered by the village master. Just put it into storage.
However, this leisurely life disappeared after Wenhua bought the forest land. Spring is the season suitable for sowing and farming. The Zhao family’s forest is not taken care of. There are many trees, weeds and rocks on it, and the wasteland below must be cleared for cultivation. .
The horses and donkeys at home will no longer be used when we go out in mid-February, and only one cow is at home, so we are seizing the time now to do as much as we can.
Hong Daniu's warehouses were full of weeds and gravel on the mountain. Women such as Wang Qiuyue and Zhou Yu led the horses to pull the cleaned things down the mountain. The weeds can be fertilized and the stones can be used to lay foundations. They are all useful things.
Feng Dafeng and more than a dozen men led donkeys to clear up wasteland.
Hu's father and mother Hu Wenhua are responsible for growing medicinal materials.
Shuiqing led her children to prepare three meals a day.
Ding and Li three people stared at the medicinal materials shop and worked hard to prepare the last batch of medicinal materials so as not to delay their trip in mid-February.
When you are busy, time flies by.
On February 12th, everyone put down their work and gathered at the entrance of the village.
The medicinal materials were packed one cart after another. There was only one carriage with carriages. The medicinal materials on the remaining carts were wrapped tightly with oilcloth layer by layer to prevent any rainwater from getting in.
The strongest men from every household in the village led the donkeys and hung knives on their waists. They stood at the head of the village with high spirits, listening to the earnest instructions of their families.
Among the crowd, the tall and muscular Hu Wenhua stood out.
Ding Jiajia was also in the crowd seeing her off, her cheeks were already red, and while she was hesitating, she saw the tall figure walking towards her.
Hu Wenhua couldn't bear to look away and whispered: "I won't be here these days. If you get bored, go and chat with my sisters."
The work in the medicine shop was over, and Jiajia could finally rest, but he had to go on a long trip.
He was not worried about traveling far away, but he was worried about her being bored in the village alone with nothing to do.
"Well, I, I can also grow medicinal materials with Aunt Hu." Ding Jiajia said softly, holding back her shame.
Hu Wenhua disapproved: "Working in the fields is not suitable for you. I have already told my mother."
He even got yelled at by his mother!
My mother said she was not stupid. Qin Yilin raised Jiajia until she was white and tender. She took Jiajia to farm and raised her like a swan with others, but when she got home, she raised her like a goose?
Or do you think that Jia Jia is her son, and are you trying to catch her for sex? When the son came back, he saw that everything was fine. The promised daughter-in-law ran away without stopping, faster than a rabbit!
Don't worry about farming or hard work, Hu Wenhua said uneasily: "Brothers Fan Dazhu, please don't pay attention! If other young men dare to take your ideas, you should tell my sister first and deal with them when I come back."
Ding Jiajia laughed, her eyes curved like crescents, and whispered back: "Now everyone in the village knows that you and I are discussing marriage, and I'm not so good that others must have me, so don't worry."
Besides, which young man in the village doesn't follow Wenhua's lead? They wanted to help him keep an eye on her to prevent others from bumping into her.
As for Fan Dazhu and the other two, "My father saw the injured legs of Fan Dazhu and the other two once. It seems that Fan Laowu and Sizhu didn't bandage them correctly at the beginning, and the recovery is not good. I'm afraid they will need crutches in the future."
In the past, the three of them could chase her and laugh at her, and throw mud and stones at her, but now it's a problem whether they can run faster than her.
Hu Wenhua looked at the smiling person and felt even more worried. What should he do? He didn't want to go out at all, he just wanted to hold her in his arms.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the messy thoughts that shouldn't be there, he asked with concern: "Is there anything you want? I can bring it back this time."
It's not easy to go to Yuhang, and I don't know when the next time will be. I heard that the resources there are rich, and I can buy some things needed for the wedding.
"I just want you to return safely."
