Chapter 403 Jiang Zhuzi Buys Land
Chapter 403 Jiang Zhuzi Buys Land
"Kang'er, when you grow up, you must be filial to your grandparents, okay? Your grandparents are so good to you, you have to take care of them in their old age."
Jiang Zhuzi had a heavy nasal tone when he spoke. He lowered his head, looked into his son's eyes, and spoke seriously.
"Yeah!" Jiang Kang nodded, not quite understanding.
Jiang Zhuzi then raised his head, took his son's hand, and continued walking forward.
The snow was quite thick, and the father and son stepped on the snow, making a "crunching" sound.
When I got home, it was only afternoon.
There was still some time before dark, so nothing happened.
Jiang Zhuzi asked his son to stay at home and he went to the mountains. He stayed there until the evening. When he came down the mountain, he held a motionless rabbit in his hand.
already dead.
But it's still warm.
He went home again, brought back half a basket of dried mushrooms and two taels of silver given by his stepfather, and went to Jiang Fubao's house.
"Patriarch, are you home?"
It was already half dark.
At this point, most households in the village have finished their meals.
There was no smoke coming out of any chimney.
Although the Jiang family's door was open, Jiang Zhuzi still knocked on the door.
Didn't go in directly.
"Who? Oh, it's Zhuzi? What do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Shoujia opened the door of the main room a little wider, and he stuck his head out, but his body remained in the main room.
It's really too cold outside.
He was too lazy to move.
"Uncle, I have something to talk to you about." Jiang Zhuzi smiled naively. He walked into the yard and put the bamboo basket on his arm and the rabbit he was holding on the stool in the yard.
"Okay, come in and talk. It's cold outside. Come in and warm yourself by the fire."
Jiang Shoujia opened the door to the main room and waved to Jiang Zhuzi.
After Jiang Zhuzi came in, he closed the door again, but left a gap two fingers wide.
In the main room, the Jiang family members all sat here to keep warm.
Jiang Fubao is playing bamboo card games with his brothers and sisters.
The adults were discussing how to run the shop after the festival and what to buy.
When Jiang Zhuzi came in, everyone's eyes, except the children, turned to him.
After looking for two seconds, he turned his head and continued chatting.
"Come, sit down." Jiang Shoujia brought a stool, placed it next to him, and patted the stool, motioning Jiang Zhuzi to sit over.
"Uncle, this is two taels of silver. I want to buy an acre of land in the village. I wanted to go to the next door, but I saw that the door of your house was open, so I just came to you. I wonder if there is any vacant land in the village?"
Jiang Tieniu is in charge of the village.
It is also possible to buy land from him.
But it still has to go through Jiang Shoujia, even if Jiang Tieniu agrees, Jiang Shoujia will refuse.
He couldn't buy it then.
So, Jiang Zhuzi simply came directly to Jiang Shoujia.
He knew that after crossing the bridge, there were five acres of land on the south side, but he did not say it explicitly, but asked Jiang Shoujia instead.
If the patriarch says no, it means that he will not sell the land to him.
While waiting for a reply, Jiang Zhuzi's heart was beating fast.
"Yes, but for two taels of silver, you can only buy one acre of second-class land."
Although Jiang Zhuzi has an average relationship with his family, there are no major conflicts. Jiang Shoujia is too lazy to argue with the junior.
Jiang Zhuzi's wife ran away, everyone in the village knew it.
Jiang Shoujia felt sorry for Jiang Kang and simply gave him a discount of half an ounce.
Prepare to sell one acre of second-class land to Jiang Zhuzi.
Anyway, these lands can’t be sold.
Every household in the village has enough land for farming.
"No, no, uncle, I know. Even if the second-class land is cheap, it costs two and a half taels. If it is in a good location, it will cost at least three taels. I will just buy one acre of third-class land."
Jiang Zhuzi looked flattered.
He refused again and again, his face turning red with shame.
The clan leader is such a good person, why did he think so hard and go against the Jiang family? No wonder mother pulled him aside and said those words to him yesterday.
"Okay, it's settled. The village doesn't have any third-class land to sell to you. It's not easy for you to take care of the child. Raise him well in the future, and life will get better slowly."
Jiang Shoujia waved his hand and the matter was settled.
When Jiang Zhuzi left, Zhang Jinlan picked up the rabbit on the stool and put it back into his hand.
"My family has no shortage of meat, but your son Kang'er is really thin. Let him eat meat to replenish his body. Children must eat fat when they are young, so that they can have a good body when they grow up. You only have this one son, so you must treat him well, understand? It doesn't matter if your wife runs away, as long as your son is still here, that's enough.
Work hard in the future and don't do the same stupid things you did before, okay? I'll take these dried mushrooms, and I won't be polite to you. Go ahead, it's getting dark, take the children to bed early, and wait until after the New Year, then you can get busy with the land."
Now that things have come to this, Jiang Zhuzi had no choice but to accept it.
Jiang Fubao, who came out to pee, heard this.
Stunned on the spot.
In fact, you won’t get fat from eating rabbit meat.
The more you eat this thing, the thinner you become.
However, no one would believe her if she told her. Besides, it was just one and she wouldn't lose much weight after eating it, so she simply kept silent.
It was very cold outside, and her little face was roasted red by the charcoal stove in the house.
After peeing, she washed a few fingers and quickly returned to the main room.
On the other side, Jiang Zhuzi returned home and saw his son sitting obediently on the bed in a daze.
There was no oil lamp in the room, so I couldn't see my son's face clearly.
Only with the faint moonlight can I see his small figure.
"Kang'er, are you hungry? Dad will heat up the food for you. After you finish eating, we can take a shower and go to bed."
He and his son had been busy catching rabbits in the afternoon, so they hadn't had dinner yet.
"No, eat." Jiang Kang shook his head.
He ate too much at noon and his little stomach was not hungry at all.
"Okay, then Dad will go boil some water and wash your feet later." While Jiang Zhuzi was waiting for the water to heat up, he skinned the rabbit, processed it briefly, and hung it outside.
After that, the water was boiled.
After washing her son's feet, she and her son slept in the same bed.
"Dad, Dad, I want to play with Meimei tomorrow." Just as Jiang Zhuzi closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep.
Jiang Kang suddenly said something.
"Meimei? Who is Meimei?" He looked confused.
"Beautiful, beautiful, sister, sister, okay, look, give, me, meat, meat, and rice." Jiang Kang couldn't utter more than two words, so he could only explain to his father word by word.
"Is there anyone named Meimei in our village?" Jiang Zhuzi was still confused.
"Well, beautiful, beautiful, good to look at." When Jiang Fubao was mentioned, Jiang Kang's eyes flickered in the dark room.
"You are just like your father. You like pretty girls. But let me warn you. Pretty girls are not trustworthy. Be careful not to end up like your father. You can have fun, but don't mess around. Stay away from girls."
After saying this, Jiang Zhuzi realized that today was the first day of the new year and his son was only four years old.
