"Why is it so sudden?"
"It's not that sudden. We only have so much land at home, and all the money we earned a year ago has been spent on corvee labor. Instead of relying on the sky to make a living, it's better to do long-term labor for the landlord..."
It took about a month for Mei Berry and Mei You to process their household registration. During this month, the two of them had to find a reason to leave.
Otherwise, you are so silent and can scare people for nothing.
Hence, the above chat between Wei Meili and the neighbors began.
As for what kind of landlord their family left with, Meiberry and the others took this opportunity to tactfully remind them.
"Didn't my family help the boat boss raise some sheep last year? It was the matchmaker when we sent the sheep there last year. That old man's ancestors were also from our Jinbai County.
The old man’s ancestors had consulted a famous Feng Shui master to figure out where their family made their fortune, and there would definitely be a major flood here within twenty years. "
What Wei Meili said was a bluff. When the neighbors heard this last sentence, their expressions changed slightly.
"I heard that this year is the last year that the Feng Shui master said. His family even came here to move their ancestral graves a year ago."
"Is it true?"
"How can it be false? Didn't you hear what the Erniu family said? The old man listened to the Feng Shui master and went south to make a fortune. How can this be false?"
Before Wei Meili could speak, the obedient women spoke out themselves.
However, not everyone takes this reminder to heart. Different people pay different attention to it when they hear this.
Just like Aunt Wang, all she cares about is floods.
Others felt that Mei Laoer's family and Mei Laosan's family were out of their minds, leaving good land uncultivated and going to the south to do long-term labor for the landlord.
Even if the salary is high, how can one have the freedom that comes with being a free agent?
Even if you sign a living contract, that won’t work!
In this regard, Mrs. Zhang, who heard about this incident, even came to make a fuss, saying that if Mei Bei's family dared to leave, they would return the land first.
In this regard, Mei Youqian sold the land directly to the village chief after his family had thought about the reason.
After Mrs. Zhang learned about it, she naturally didn't dare to make trouble with the village chief, but she dared to make trouble with Mei Mei's house.
It's a pity that the Mayberry family is immobile.
You can make trouble as you please, I won't fall for you.
Seeing that Mei Bei and his family were determined to do this, Mrs. Zhang simply took a step back and asked for a house again, saying that since their family had left, the house was useless and she could just give it to their family.
These words were also told to Meiyou's family intact.
I don’t know why Mrs. Zhang wants this house?
Is the house in the old house not big enough for these people?
The two families ignored this except for being polite and rolling their eyes.
During this period of time, Meiyou took Meiberry into the mountains again, well, that one again.
One winter at home, Meibei either struggled with the Kang or with the family's mules and cats. Without Meiyou's words, Meibei felt as if she had gained weight.
After being taken into the mountains by Meiyou, he spent another two days of "hard life", and then had an unfriendly "discussion" with a wild boar. Meiyou's lazy look that he had cultivated in winter completely disappeared again.
"I heard that the capital city of Yunzhou is a mountain city. Let's go to that mountain for a walk."
Just after leaving the mountain, Mei You had already made arrangements for the future on the way down.
When Meiyou said that she would not only search in this mountain, but also continue in another mountain, Meiberry felt bad.
The mountains in Yunzhou Fucheng are mountains, the kind that stretch for hundreds of miles.
Different regions have different climates and geographical features.
"You still want to go into the mountains?"
Mei Mei said with some persistence: "It is said that the mountain outside Yunzhou City is rugged with strange rocks. Apart from some old pine trees that can endure hardship, there are no serious plants on the mountain. What is there to go to?"
It was not like the back mountain now. This was a mountain where the author had prepared countless treasures for the heroine in the early stage.
For example, here,
Plumberries, a handful of mushrooms in one step;
Meiyou, a precious medicinal material.
Mayberry is tired of using the word envy.
And over there, ah, it's just the fusion of the laws of the world to form a mountain that is equal to all living beings and loves no one.
A month passed quickly. When Mei Mei and Mei You approached Lin Shoucai again, their new household registrations had already been obtained.
"In the early years, your father and brother went to other places to make a living because of the severe drought in Yunzhou. They married wives and had children in other places. Now they have saved some family assets and returned to their hometown."
When handing over the household registration to Mei Berry and the others, Lin Shoucai helped them arrange the script.
Meiberry and the others expressed their gratitude and gave each other a bag of dried mushrooms.
"We also have a Jiubaoxuan store in Fucheng. If something happens, just go into the store with this sign and the shopkeeper will help you two ladies solve it."
"Oh, you're so polite. Thank your boss for us. Don't worry, we are all honest people and won't cause you any trouble~"
Although she said this, she quickly took the two bronze medals with the words "Nine Treasures" engraved on them and gave one to Mei You.
Seeing this, Lin Shoucai twitched the corner of his mouth in an insignificant way.
Honest people will have no trouble.
These two young ladies are a little too thick-skinned.
"By the way, we have another unwelcome favor."
After saying that, Mei Berry smiled sweetly at Lin Shoucai.
Just with the pair of extremely dark eyes, Lin Shoucai felt inexplicably panicked.
"By the way, our two families are not familiar with each other in Yunzhou Prefecture. I would like to ask Shopkeeper Lin if he can recommend a reliable dental shop. We need to find two houses..."
Lin Shoucai: "..."
"Ah, by the way, these are our requirements for the house. Please tell Ya Xing these conditions~ Thank you!"
Lin Shoucai: "..."
***
Time flies, from the time Mayberry and the others planned to move to the official move, it was mid-March in the blink of an eye.
The Meiberry and Meiyou families directly chartered a small passenger ship to take away all their belongings.
This time, the two families went upstream and took the waterway directly to Fucheng. It was also the first time that they had to stay on the boat for two and a half days.
The days on the boat were not very interesting, but Wei Meili and Miao continued to knit sweaters.
Mei Mei and Mei You had nothing to do, petting the cat, playing with the lambs, and feeding the chickens. It was rare for them to have a family and a bunch of livestock.
Their mood has been very happy since they moved.
Although no one from Meiberry and the others had visited Duo's new house, according to the information sent by Shopkeeper Lin's trustee, Meiberry and the others had many requirements for the house and were as detailed as writing a contract.
Therefore, the house can be locked quickly.
Everything else is very consistent, but there is one requirement that cannot be met - the house does not have a vegetable plot.
The terrain is high, there are front and back yards, two entrances to the house, no longer in the downtown area, and the neighborhood is harmonious...
"I've seen many passenger ships on the river going north in the past two days. The river has just been unsealed. It's really lively~"
Mei Youqian once again chatted with the new ship boss.
I don’t know how many ship bosses Mei Youqian has met.
In ancient times, there were no newspapers. If you wanted to know about different places, apart from reading some obscure classical Chinese travel notes written by literati, you could also chat with these people who traveled all over the country.
Obviously, Mei Youqian prefers the latter.
Otherwise, when choosing where to go, her daughter wouldn’t be the only one holding the geography book for them to analyze.
"Well, there are more cargo ships traveling from north to south now, but aren't they going to be taking exams for scholars soon? Recently, many passenger ships are taking scholars to Fucheng~"
The ship boss originally wanted to recruit some scholars, but the man in front of him gave generous money and the population was simple, so it was more convenient than recruiting a group of scholars.
A few years ago, someone's boat was carrying a scholar. During the night, while the scholar was reading at night, a sudden "demon wind" on the river blew down the candles, almost causing the boat to burn down.
There's also what they call "literati looking down on each other." A bunch of scholars are sitting together. One moment they're talking nicely, but the next second they're all quarreling with each other.
If you meet someone with a bad temper, you can start a fight on the boat!
"Ah, are you taking the scholar exam?"
Hearing this, Mei Youqian suddenly thought of Mei Yang again. If nothing else happened, Mei Yang would also go to Fucheng to take the scholar examination in the next few days?
Thinking like this, Mei Youqian's expression turned strange. They... wouldn't be so unlucky to bump into each other this time, right?
