Afterwards, there was leading the group of people towards the village.
It was still early in the morning, and people were already coming out one after another carrying hoes to work.
On the way, they just kept greeting Li Zheng warmly, and Li Zheng just nodded to them. This group of people didn't seem to be very curious about the Chen family.
This kind of atmosphere is exactly what the Chen family needs most right now.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Zheng only stopped in front of a single-family house on a high ground in the east of the village.
Li Zheng explained, "Your family has a large population, and there are not many families with as many houses as this in the village, so I plan to allocate this area to you now. You can go in and have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zheng gave this courtyard-like house with blue tiles and white walls to the Chen family.
The Chen family is very satisfied with being able to live in such a house now. After all, the life they lived in prison was much worse than this. More importantly, they also visited other villages. In those villages, many people could not get land, and the places they lived in were just mud walls. The roof is covered with thatch, and when the strong wind comes, the thatch will fly all over the sky.
Therefore, they were very satisfied to be able to live in such a house. Afterwards, they opened the door of the house and began to visit the conditions inside the house.
There are a lot of old furniture in the house, and it looks like it has everything. Obviously there must have been residents in this large courtyard before.
Everyone else was still immersed in the joy of not having to buy furniture, but the eldest brother of the Chen family asked with confusion, "Where are the previous residents here?"
Hearing this, Na Zheng only smiled and said, "The previous residents have become prosperous and have gone to live outside."
After hearing this, the eldest brother of the Chen family nodded.
Then the three people in the house began to divide the rooms. The eldest brother chose the east side of the house, and the second brother chose the west side of the house. The third brother Chen Huanan, who had all his wives, temporarily lived with the fourth brother.
The other girls live in the south.
After arranging the housing issue, I asked righteously, "Is the house ready?"
Several people nodded at the same time.
Li Zheng then continued, "Since the house is fine, let's go take a look at your fields."
After hearing what Li Zheng said, the others naturally cooperated and went over.
Then Li Zheng only took them to the terraces, and a group of people followed Li Zheng walking on the crisscrossing paths.
Several farmers were working in the field, but Li Zheng only stood in the direction of the third row. He pointed to the field at the end, then turned to Chen Huanan and said, "The field where the seedlings have not been planted yet." This is your land. We don’t have much land here, so we can’t share more benefits at the moment. You can cultivate it here first.”
Hearing what Li Zheng said, several people just nodded at the same time. After returning from seeing the fields, they returned to the high ground and prepared to sign the contract. However, they did not expect that when they were about to sign the contract, Li Zheng only said Suddenly he said, "By the way, there is another important reason why our houses and land are so cheap here. That is we have a rule here. On weekdays, you work on the farmland in the morning, but in the afternoon, regardless of gender, They all need to go deep into the mountains to do things, can you accept this condition?"
Nowadays, we are all a group of people with no way out, and there is no talk of accepting or not accepting them. Therefore, Chen Huanan only said, "Of course there is no problem with this condition."
On the contrary, the eldest brother of the Chen family
Being more cautious, he asked in a low voice "What are we doing in the mountains?"
There, he whispered, "We can't say this. After all, if we say it, you won't be qualified to leave here."
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother of the Chen family immediately showed a troubled look.
He said, "Then how about we discuss it further?"
Li Zheng only said, "That's okay. You can discuss it slowly."
The eldest brother of the Chen family just nodded when he heard this, then stood up and went to the door. He looked into the inner room, and then he just whispered: "There is something weird everywhere in this village, otherwise we should still Let’s go look at houses elsewhere?”
Chen Huanan obviously disagreed with his elder brother's words at the moment, but he did not reject the other party's proposal directly. He only asked rhetorically, "Is there any good place for elder brother?"
"We can go back to our house in the countryside, and we can also buy fields and houses near my sisters-in-law."
After hearing this, Chen Huan'an just said, "Brother, do you think we can afford to buy land and houses when we go back? And even if we can afford it, do you think we can live openly and honestly in the local area? We are no longer Chen Shoubei. The children of the people are dead, we are prisoners and escaped convicts.”
"So right now, even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, we actually have no choice."
Upon hearing Chen Huanan's words, the eldest brother of the Chen family finally swallowed his worries.
After taking care of his elder brother, Chen Huanan just looked at the others and said, "Do you still have any opinions?"
At that moment, everyone else naturally shook their heads.
After seeing that there were no problems with the others, Chen Huanan also walked out of the house. Then he only said to Li Zheng, "Li Zheng, my family agrees with your proposal and they are willing to abide by the rules here."
Nazheng didn't seem surprised that Chen Huan'an's family finally came to such a conclusion. He just said hello and then handed over the key to the house to Chen Huan'an's family.
After Chen Huan'an took the key, he only said, "But Lizheng, I need to leave here first after finishing everything here, so can I come back after finishing everything?"
Li Zheng nodded, "Of course there is no problem, but most of the people who come to our village are poor people who have no way out, so you'd better not go out in the future, because we don't want to be involved in anything else after this." Come."
Regarding Li Zheng's proposal, Chen Huanan naturally only nodded in agreement.
After solving his family's settlement and accommodation problems, Chen Huanan was ready to go to Anxi Prefecture to join his father.
But now all his money was used to buy land in the village. For a while, it was really inconvenient for him to go to Anxi Prefecture, so in the end he could only ask his brothers and sisters-in-law for some travel expenses, but it was a pity. Yes, his brothers and sisters-in-law responded to his request but did not contribute money to buy a house. biquku
Even the sister-in-law just said, "My father is wanted all over the city. This matter is definitely not a big deal. If you run away and are caught by the government, wouldn't you be setting yourself up for trouble?"
"Sister-in-law, I made an agreement with my father. If it wasn't to save you, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to come back."
Upon hearing what Chen Huan'an said, the others were not happy. "What you mean by this is that you blame us for delaying you."
"Anyway, I won't pay for it. Whoever wants to pay will pay for it. After all, we
Also live. "
Seeing that he couldn't convince his family, Chen Huan'an could only sigh and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to, the worst thing I can do is walk over and meet my father."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Huanan went out directly from the main room.
But just when Chen Huanan was about to leave Yunhu Village, the fifth sister followed him. She just looked at Chen Huanan and said, "Brother, I want to go with you to find my father and mother, is that okay?"
Chen Huan'an was upset. He looked at his young sister and just waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go! What trouble are you making, kid?"
However, Chen Wumei not only did not flinch when she heard this, but at that moment, she only took out a small gold bead from her small purse and said, "But it's not that my brother doesn't have money, I have money."
As soon as Chen Wumei took out the small golden bead, Chen Huanan's expression slowly became a little gentler. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Chen Wumei only whispered, "Third brother, you don't understand. This is called not exposing wealth. I'm just a girl, and I'm not very old. If I expose this thing, will it still be mine?" ?”
Chen Huanan thought about his two brothers and sister-in-law. Although they are not bad people, when the economy is tight, they might really take advantage of the little girl. Chen Huanan did not expect that this girl was actually a kid. big.
He only said, "Aren't you afraid that I will steal your things?"
When the little girl heard this, she just said in a sweet voice, "Third brother can't do that. Third brother is not a stingy person."
Chen Huanan smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, the third brother will take you there, but the road is difficult and we are not here to have fun. If you are disobedient, I will not care about you!"
Upon hearing what Chen Huanan said, the little girl immediately said, "I will listen to the third brother."
Chen Huan'an nodded, and then he took his little benefactor and prepared to leave Yunhu Village.
However, considering that gold beads were too eye-catching, and as far as he knew, the only pawnshop that could exchange gold beads for silver was in Leiyang City, so Chen Huanan could only go to Li Zheng's house again.
He just held the gold bead and asked Li Zheng, "Li Zheng, do you know if there is a place nearby that can exchange gold beads for silver?"
Nazheng may not know how much a hairpin costs, but he knows the gold beads well.
So he just said, "There is no exchange for this around here, but you can exchange it with me."
Chen Huanan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Li Zheng was willing to exchange with them.
"Okay, I wonder how much this gold bead can be exchanged for?" Chen Huan'an asked.
Li Zheng looked at the quality of the gold beads and then said, "What do you think of twelve taels of silver?"
Hearing this, Chen Huanan was short of travel expenses, so he said happily, "Of course."
So the two of them immediately paid the money and delivered the goods, and when they learned that they were going to Anxi Prefecture, they thoughtfully gave them a road guide certificate that matched their identity.
After successfully getting the travel expenses, Chen Huanan took Chen Wumei and left Yunhu Village. After that, they only rented an ox cart not far away. Renting a car in the village was much cheaper than in the county town. They only paid five taels of silver plus the price of the driver's food and accommodation in exchange for the qualification to go to Anxi Prefecture.
After a day and night of long journey, the brother and sister finally arrived at Anxi Prefecture.
