He Lu Feifei looked at the village in front of her. It looked very harmonious, and there were mountains and water all around. The scenery was also very nice. She patted Mu Yesheng on the shoulder.
"Okay, the village you chose is good, let's settle down here first."
Seeing that Helu Feifei agreed, Mu Yesheng just smiled and said nothing. The two walked into the village. It was the spring plowing season in the village.
Everyone was busy in the fields, and the two people walked over without thinking, which attracted many people's attention. After all, the two people were dressed very well.
It was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary people like them, so they all pointed fingers at them. However, the folk customs here were still very simple, so there was no ill will towards them.
The two people had no idea how to settle down in a village. Although they entered the village, they were still a little confused.
You look at me, I look at you, Helu Feifei suddenly said: "Men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world. Now go and communicate with outsiders. You go, I will wait for your good news."
Mu Yesheng coughed twice. At this moment, a man cannot back down. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lady! Leave it to me."
He Lu Feifei felt refreshed when she was called "wife", but it seemed that their relationship should be like this. After thinking about it, she decided to make a gesture.
"Husband, come on."
After receiving the encouragement, Mu Yesheng suddenly felt courageous and went straight to an uncle in a field by the roadside: "Uncle, can I trouble you to ask if we can settle down in this village?"
The uncle also looked like an honest man. He looked at Mu Yesheng and said, "I don't know. You should ask our village chief. I'll take you to see our village chief."
After saying that, the uncle put down the hoe in his hand, looked at the two people, and kept urging them to go to the village chief's house. Soon they arrived at the door of a tile-roofed house.
When Mu Yesheng and He Lu Feifei came, they took a look around. Most of the people here lived in thatched houses and mud yards. The village chief's house should have the best conditions.
The village chief heard the noise outside and came out: "Old man Zhang, why are you yelling all day long?"
The uncle, Old Man Zhang, quickly explained what happened, then turned and left, leaving Mu Yesheng and He Lu Feifei behind.
The village chief looked at the two men with extraordinary demeanor and was a little surprised: "You two want to settle down in our village?"
Mu Yesheng and He Lu Feifei looked at each other and said, "It's like this, Village Chief, let me put it this way, my wife and I are children of a wealthy family, but because the mistress is mean."
"So they kicked me and my wife out and left us to fend for ourselves. My wife and I traveled to many places, but when we saw this place, we thought it was beautiful and wanted to stay here."
"I don't know what to do?"
The village chief nodded and looked at the two of them with sympathy. However, He Lu Feifei was speechless. Why didn't he know before that Mu Yesheng was so good at making up stories
What about the mistress? Where did the mistress come from? The village chief really sympathized with these two people: "Well, what about you! Follow me to change your household registration."
"After registering your household registration, you can stay here. But what about the land and house? You need to buy them yourself. Do you have them on hand?"
Mu Yesheng took out the remaining money in his pocket and said, "Village Chief, we only have these fifty taels of silver left. It should be no problem to buy a house in the village."
"Besides, our household registration was lost when we were wandering around. Will this be a problem?"
The villager hesitated for a moment and said, "No household registration? That's a bit troublesome. This money can buy a house or even two acres of land, but this one doesn't have a household registration."
"If you explain your origins clearly, you can also apply for household registration. Come on, I will take you to apply for household registration now, and then we will look at houses."
"There is a three-room mud house for sale in our village, and we talked as we walked."
It can be seen that the village chief is also a down-to-earth person. He acted very quickly and took the two of them to handle the household registration. Then he found a house, paid the money, and even bought the land.
Standing at the door of the three large rooms, Helu Feifei sighed: "I can't believe that this village chief is so amazing. He can do so many things in one day."
Mu Yesheng laughed: "I guess the village chief is in a hurry to go home and plant! To be honest, he took advantage of the region, otherwise this household registration would not be so easy to get."
As he said that, Mu Yesheng took out his household registration, Yangliu Village, Dazhou, household registration, Ye Sheng. Yes, when Mu Yesheng reported his name, he said his name was Ye Sheng.
However, Helu Feifei's household registration showed Ye Feifei as the name on it. Both of them changed their appearances and prepared to live in seclusion here. Ye Sheng glanced at Ye Feifei.
"Ma'am, come in. This is our home. Strictly speaking, this is our first home."
Hearing the name "home", Ye Feifei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled knowingly: "Yes, our first home, so husband, how much property do we have now?"
Uh! Speaking of property, Ye Sheng felt a little guilty, and coughed twice: "There are still five taels of silver. Look, we have a total of fifty taels, and it cost five taels to register for household registration."
"It cost 25 taels to buy the house, and 15 taels of silver for two mu of land. These five taels are our living expenses for the time being. But don't worry, I've made inquiries."
"People here can go hunting in the mountains. I'm going to go hunting a tiger tomorrow. After selling it, I can buy daily necessities. That should be ok."
Ye Feifei nodded: "Your idea is good, I will go with you, and we can also check out what herbs there are, maybe we can find some good ones!"
The two smiled at each other as they talked. Ye Sheng looked at his wife and said, "Madam, should we go to bed early now?"
Originally, there was nothing in the house, but the villagers took pity on them and lent them a quilt so that they could spend the night.
Although the night was very simple, the two of them wrapped in the same quilt was an unforgettable experience. The next day, the two were awakened by the crowing of a rooster.
Looking outside, it was just dawn, but it was already very lively. The two of them were already awake, so they just got up. As soon as they got up, they saw the old man Zhang passing by with a hoe on his shoulder.
Seeing the two of them opening the door, Old Man Zhang was also surprised: "You two got up so early, are you going to the city to buy something?"
Ye Sheng and his wife were planning to do just that! They nodded, "Yes, Uncle Zhang, you're going to work so early."
Old man Zhang laughed and said, "If you want to live here, you will get used to it sooner or later. If you want to go to the city to buy things, you can go to the village chief's house to borrow an oxcart. Oxcarts move fast."
After kindly reminding the young couple, Old Man Zhang left humming a tune that the young couple could not understand, leaving Ye Sheng and his wife looking at each other in bewilderment.
This was a good idea. After washing their faces, the two men went straight into the mountains. Because they were afraid that five taels of silver would not be enough to buy things, they went into the mountains to hunt a tiger.
Not to mention that the two of them were lucky, they had a rich harvest in the mountains. Ye Sheng was very strong and he carried the tiger down the mountain directly, but he scared a group of men, young and old, at the foot of the mountain.
One by one, they surrounded Sheng Lai and said, "Oh, such a big tiger, how much should it be sold for? Ye family boy, you are really capable."
Ye Sheng had never thought that he would be praised by so many people for killing a tiger, and it felt really good. Ye Feifei looked at everyone surrounding Ye Sheng.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt like laughing. Maybe this kind of day is not bad. The two of them brought a tiger and a few rabbits to the village chief’s house.
The village chief had heard the noise a long time ago, and when he came out, he was also startled: "Mr. Ye? What are you doing?"
Ye Sheng smiled and said, "It's like this, Village Chief. You know I don't have enough money to spend. I haven't learned anything else from all these years of wandering around outside, but I am first-rate at hunting."
"And you have a bullock cart, village chief. We are here to borrow it. We want to use it to transport the tiger to the town and sell it so that we can buy some daily necessities."
When the village chief heard this, he was speechless for a moment. He was just telling his wife yesterday that these two people might not be able to make a living. And here they are, five taels of silver.
It was enough for the poorer families in their village to live for a year. This person felt it was not enough and nodded: "Okay, so that's how it is. Then everyone can go home."
The onlookers dispersed and returned to their own fields to continue working. Only the villager was still holding the two of them and saying earnestly: "I am talking to Xiaoye."
"You two are no longer the same as before, you still have to save money. Even though you two are two people now, you will have children in the future!"
Ye Feifei suddenly felt that this village chief was actually quite cute. They had just met yesterday, and he was really worried about a lot of things. It took a long time for Ye Feifei and her boyfriend to hear the key points.
"Didn't you have five taels of silver left yesterday? That would be enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year or half a year. You spent it all in one day yesterday?"
Ye Feifei and Ye Sheng were surprised. Five taels of silver for a year? Are you kidding? Seeing the two people's stunned looks, the village chief was also amused and thought that they really spent it.
Fortunately, Ye Sheng also spoke up: "It's no use, I just don't worry enough."
The village chief is a kind-hearted person, and his wife is also a kind-hearted person. Just now, the few of them spoke loudly and did not avoid people, so naturally the village chief and his wife heard it.
At this time, he stood up and looked at the two of them: "You two young people are really pitiful. You don't even have an old person to help you take care of things! How about this, you go shopping today, and I'll go with you."
"I guarantee it won't cost much. Old man, you should go too and help sell the tiger. Xiaoye and his wife are so naive, don't let them fool you."
