With the concerted efforts of several brothers from the Yang family, a long wooden fence as tall as a person was built, and it took eight or nine days to enclose it. The center has also properly built a fence gate. With Yang Datong, a carpenter, this work is trivial.
The wood used for the fence happened to be the scattered trees left on the wasteland at the foot of the mountain. They were cut down for the fence, which just happened to complete the initial steps of land preparation. After that, as long as the stones on the wasteland are cleaned, the remaining tree roots are dug up one by one, and the soil is thoroughly loosened again, the wasteland can be used as a vegetable field.
After all, Yangshui Teahouse has been urging them to expand production, and the sooner the land preparation starts, the better.
Next, Miao He was in charge of picking up stones, and Yang Dalang was in charge of digging tree roots. The two were busy in the new world every day. At this time, Miao Min's mother secretly found Miao Liang, this young man who will be her son-in-law in two months.
Miao Min's mother asked worriedly, "Liang boy, my aunt heard that the yard used by the workshop is from your father's house. You are about to marry Brother Min. Is this new house ready?"
Miao Liang was slightly surprised, "Why does my aunt ask that? When is this going to happen, isn't the new house ready?"
"The aunt asked you, where is your new house? It won't be a temporary mud house, crowded with your second uncle and the others."
Miao Liang was a little unhappy, and replied bluntly, "Of course it's temporary. My father said earlier that he would ask the village chief for a new homestead to rebuild the yard. The workshop business has been very good, and it won't take long for my family to have a new homestead. Money to build a house. Auntie don't have to worry." Besides, this brother married into the door, where can he live in his parents' house where he can talk
Miao Min's mother deliberately sighed and said, "It's not that my aunt is dissatisfied with your family's conditions, on the contrary, she is very satisfied. You are becoming more and more promising now, so of course my aunt is happy. So my aunt also wants to marry Min to help her. Help you. I don't know if you know that the mountain in the southwest of the village can be bought by the Liang family and given to Dalang and He Ge'er!"
Miao Liang questioned, "I know," but what does it have to do with him
"Brother Min is better than Brother He, everyone in the village knows that. Brother He used to go to the base where Brother He used to live, and he liked it. My aunt thought, since Dalang and the others have newly acquired a large area of mountains, they will always There is no need to use the base borrowed from the village. Can't this place be given to those who are in short supply? My aunt sees that the size is suitable for you and Brother Min's new house, and it will be decent when you get married! In the future, your family will be rich, and the whole If the family wants to move, it will not be a problem to expand. The point is, I heard that the vegetable fields in the base have been opened.
Miao Liang felt absurd when he heard it, and laughed a little, "There is so much land around the village, we still need to rob them? Auntie, if Brother Min wants to grow vegetables, I will start a vegetable field for him. There's no need to do that."
Miao Min's mother looked like you didn't know the importance, and said in a low voice, "Didn't my aunt just say it, this is to ask Brother Min to help you! Why do you think my aunt is interested in that piece of land? Brother He has not been recently. Are you still helping the Liang family to provide food? Who can he help introduce to the Liang family these days? No! Let's not talk about whether He Ge'er should handle this matter, you are going to move to that base, Min Ge'er Wouldn't the vegetables to be planted in the future be planted on the same land as He Ge'er? For this reason, let Min Ge'er beg He Ge'er to connect you with the Liang family. Do you think He Ge'er has any reason to refuse? ? He's too embarrassed to refuse?"
When the Liang family was mentioned, Miao Liang became slightly more serious. The opportunity to catch up with the big family is an opportunity not to be missed. Let's just say that they have tenant farmers in their name, and the number of them is unknown in the dozens or hundreds. For example, when collecting soybeans, a single command is more useful than what the village chief said. Getting on this kind of network will definitely give the workshop another way. Can you credit yourself for this credit
"But if you asked us to snatch their land, can Brother He introduce you to Brother Min?" Miao Liang thought about it, but felt wrong.
Miao Min's mother pursed her lips, "Do I still need you to go? You just need to go and tell the village chief, such a good thing for the workshop, you can see if someone can help you! If he wants to help you, he will never do it. I won't mention your name!"
Miao Liang pondered for a while, "This is not a small matter, I have to talk to my father."
Miao Min's mother was satisfied when she saw this.
She didn't believe that with the fat meat of the Liang family, this person would not be moved.
And Miao Min's mother would have this kind of calculation, because Yang Dalang's current homestead has not been officially bought from the village. Young people like Yang Dalang who have just separated and settled independently would have a heavy burden to buy a homestead with money from the very beginning.
But a lot of times the old house is full of people and can't live in it anymore. It's impossible to make people unable to pay the rent for this small house. Therefore, the village has had the benefit of renting homesteads since ancient times. After ten years of renting at very low rents, people can save enough money to buy the land. Of course, you can also not buy, continue to rent. However, in the second ten years of the lease renewal, the rent will be adjusted to the normal level. Almost all small families spend ten years saving this amount of money, there is no problem.
Yang Dalang's homestead only started renting last year, and there were still nine years left. As long as he spends six taels of silver in nine years, he can buy the homestead he painted from the village.
In other words, before the title deed of this homestead was transferred, the name was still under the name of the village's public land. And this kind of situation gives those who are interested in taking advantage of it the opportunity to take advantage of it.
However, Miao Min's mother's wishful thinking was a little full this time.
Even if there is room for this kind of manipulation, she wants the village chief to take the lead and go against the rules, and there must be enough interests before people are willing to do it!
So when Miao Liang was moved and went to mention this to the village chief, the village chief Miao Huo had a look of embarrassment and frowned, "But Da Lang has signed a lease with the village in a proper manner, and he can't find anything wrong with him. .You want me to take this land back... I'm afraid it will be difficult. If you do it like this, it's impossible for other families not to speak."
Miao Liang pursed his lips, but his heart was filled with dissatisfaction. He thought that if his uncle Miao Jue spoke about this, would he still be afraid? I didn't see how low the waist was when the village chief visited Miao Jue's house. It's also that his own weight is not heavy enough! Even if he persuaded his father to let the yard make a workshop for his uncle's house, he still couldn't get into the real center of the workshop.
Miao Liang was a little anxious about this, so after listening to the future mother-in-law's embarrassment, the more he thought about it, the more he was moved, and he wanted to make it through this road! At this time, he hit a nail at the village head's house. Miao Liang's face was flat, but his heart was a little more impatient.
Five days later, Miao He and Yang Dalang were going to the town to deliver the ninth meal. It's ten times over again. Shopkeeper Jin promised that the price of vegetables would increase further in the future, and he had already counted the newly opened vegetable fields, and wanted to let people grow them.
Sitting on the swaying donkey cart, the two chose the last seat, and there was a box of vegetables separated from the passenger in front. Miao He couldn't help biting his ears with Yang Dalang.
"I don't know how much a donkey cart costs. Now, it costs two dollars to deliver food in Uncle Ma's cart. If you don't follow me, I'm still being asked all the time. I really want to have a cart of my own. "Modern people think that a car is a necessities of life, not a luxury.
"Donkey plus cart, ten taels is fine." Yang Dalang thought about it.
Miao He hissed, "It's so expensive? Why do you feel that building a house is cheaper than this."
The dynasty had controls on non-food animals, so it was expensive. Donkeys and cows have to jump in seven or eight.
Yang Dalang only said, "Buy it if you want."
Miao He immediately gave up and waved his hand, "It's going to cost most of my savings, which is so distressing. Not to mention that I have bought it now. The yard is too small. Let's talk about it when we finish the mountain."
Speaking of this, Yang Dalang wanted to frown. The little brother threw himself on the new vegetable ground. At this time, it was hot and the sun was shining. As long as he did some work, his cheeks would be flushed and his forehead would be sweating. Although people are still white and tender and not tanned, they feel reluctant to look at them.
He couldn't stop himself from coming, and the little brother was still around him. Yang Dalang couldn't think of a way to make people rest, so he had to agree to the two of them to start together, so that they could finish work earlier.
"When the land is ready, I'll go up the mountain." Yang Dalang said suddenly.
Miao He was stunned for a moment and wanted to stop, but Yang Dalang seemed to know and rushed, "The injury is healed. The mountain must be cleared. We must go."
However, Miao He knew that what people said was not because he wanted to save more money so that he could buy a donkey cart. He was a little regretful that his mouth was too fast, but he couldn't keep people from going up the mountain. After all, Yang Dalang's previous occupation was an hunter.
Miao He pursed his lips, "We are not short of money. You go, be careful, don't force it."
Yang Dalang's eyes warmed. "Know."
The two chatted for a while in the car, and not long after, the town arrived. Yang Dalang carried the box of vegetables on his shoulders and sent them to Liang Mansion together with Miao He. The reason why only Liang Mansion was sent to the tea house was because the dishes were originally delivered by Miao He, and the location of the tea house was a little off, so a little brother could carry the food to the tea house from Zhenkou. At that time, Liang Yuanwai knew about it and said that he would send it all to him, and let the small workers in the teahouse come and carry it. Therefore, Miao He has always sent Liang Mansion.
Little did they know, the two figures were seen by Miao Liang, who also came to the town to deliver goods. This morning, Miao Liang sent bean curd for the workshop. He didn't spend any money on the car, but he carried it on his shoulders against the sun. It was that Miao Min's mother's proposal was in his mind recently, and when he saw these two people in front of the gate of Liang Mansion, he couldn't help but stop.
I don't know if it was a guilty conscience or something, Miao Liang instinctively hid at the corner and stopped to stare at Yang Dalang and the two. I saw that they left soon after handing over a box that was invisible to the concierge of the Liang residence. I didn't see anything to say to the concierge, it seemed to be very businesslike.
If it was for him to do this, he would definitely get some sweet treats for the concierge every time to take good care of the relationship. After giving it away like this, Miao Liang thought to himself that these two were really wasting an opportunity. I couldn't help but get hot again for the opportunity that I couldn't ask for.
So, what else can he do...
Miao Liang pondered while watching, and suddenly his body froze.
I saw a small worker who was supposed to be Yangshui Teahouse knocking on the door of Liang's mansion, and it didn't take long for him to be greeted by the concierge. Miao Liang also thought that this Yangshui Teahouse had something to do with Liang Mansion.
When the little worker came out, he was carrying a box too. That box... looks familiar.
Isn't it similar to what Yang Dalang and the other two just sent in
