"By the way, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are going to the town to see my third brother, so they can look forward to the shops and houses. How about going to my eldest sister-in-law's parents' house to see the hilltop?"
The whole family was cheered and excited by Erlang's leg shock, and they forgot about Xie Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao going to the town to meet their parents' family.
But Eugene Gui is always thinking about it.
Seeing that no one could remember, Eugene Gui was afraid that he would choke to death without asking.
So before dinner, I finally couldn't help but asked.
"I forgot about this incident." Old Mrs. Bai did not blame Eugene Gui for talking too much, and mentioned the matter according to her words.
Bai Dazhuang walked into the side room, handed a cloth bag to Mrs. Bai, and said happily: "Miscellaneous, what a coincidence. The ginseng was originally brought to Huaicheng by the third brother to sell, and it happened that the third brother knew the shopkeeper of the Huaicheng drug store. , the shopkeeper said that the medicinal materials in Nanguan Mountain are good, and he has been collecting medicinal materials in Nanguan Mountain these days. So the ginseng was sold directly to him, and the price he gave was also kind. "
Baiban asked: "How much did it cost in total?"
Bai Dazhuang said: "A total of six hundred and eighty-four taels of silver were sold."
Eugene Gui took a breath on the side.
So much money!
Xiao Fuyuan can do it, just pick it up and you will get a silver pimple.
Old Mrs. Bai opened the cloth bag and placed the silver on the dining table. The whole room seemed to be lit up by the silver.
"It's one hundred taels more than I thought." Mrs. Bai said with joy.
Eugene Gui reached out and touched the silver. They were all of good quality. Thinking of the ginseng that Erlang drank, I feel even more distressed, otherwise there would be not only silver, but also gold.
Boss, you really can drink so many acres of land in one go.
"Have you seen the house and shop?" Madam Zhen asked.
"You have to take your time to look at the shop, and the third brother said to leave it to him. There is actually a house in the middle of Daliushu Hutong. Chuntao and I went to see it. The courtyard in Sanjin is very big, with big green tiles on the water. Their landlord has gone out of town, and the third brother said that we will make a decision when they come." Bai Dazhuang said in detail.
Zhen nodded.
"From now on, fifth brother Sanlang and the others will study in the village. Do you still want to buy this house?" Yu Jingui asked.
"Buy it, the left and right are for your sister." Zhen said, adding, "This money is all earned by your sister."
Eugene Gui said flatteringly from the side: "Yes, they all belong to my sister. Brother, have you bought that mountain top?"
"Already taken a look at it. Although you can't grow crops on that hilltop, you can grow fruit trees. Guess what, this time Dazhuang and I saw a mountain spring on the mountainside, which was making us happy. I said where did the water at the foot of the mountain come from? , It turns out to be the spring on the mountainside. If there is a spring, it will be easy to manage. If you grow fruit trees on this mountain, you will not be afraid of drought." Xie Chuntao said with a smile.
She felt amazing. Before she left the pavilion, there were no springs on this barren mountain, and there was no running water at the foot of the mountain.
Now when I went to the mountain to check, I found that water was coming out.
Even the village chief who accompanied her and Da Zhuang to the mountains knew for the first time that there was a spring as big as a bowl.
"Has it been settled yet?" Zhen asked.
Bai Dazhuang turned around and took out a piece of deed paper from his bag and handed it to Zhen and said, "Mom, take a look. Because Chuntao and I are illiterate, we didn't dare to press our fingerprints for fear of causing problems."
Zhen read it from beginning to end and found no problems.
"The barren hills over my house are not valuable, and the fruits and trees are not worth the food, so the hills are cheap, fifty taels of silver in cash." Xie Chuntao said.
"That's right." Mrs. Bai nodded, "In two days, you two will go again and decide."
Xie Chuntao nodded.
"Besides, on the way here, Chuntao and I passed by several villages in Xiashan Village. There were fertile fields for sale nearby, and the prices were reasonable," Bai Dazhuang said.
"I'll go check it out with you later, and we're making a decision." Bai Banban interrupted.
"I think so too. After all, dad has a lot of experience, so it's up to you to control the land purchase." Bai Dazhuang said.
The family talked for a while.
Little Fuyuan lay on Zhen's lap. Now she had become an ancient small landowner.
Seeing that her sister-in-law already had a house on the hilltop at a young age, and was about to own a shop and farmland, Eugene Gui felt sad, and she vowed to have a daughter.
When she gives birth to a daughter, she will also walk sideways in the Bai family.
At that time, she could confidently demand the same treatment as her sister-in-law.
After the family discussion, Xie Chuntao took out the fruit brought by her mother-in-law and said: "These are the mountain plums my mother-in-law brought for my sister-in-law. They are the first crop. The peaches I picked for my grandmother are soft and rotten, so there is no need to worry about teeth."
Eugene Gui curled his lips at the side. No wonder Xie Chuntao was so good at fawning over the Bai family. They all had a legacy. Seeing the Bai family gaining momentum, her natal family kept trying to please them with fruits.
Sure enough, Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "I've made my in-laws miss you."
Xie Chuntao smiled with satisfaction.
This time I went back to my parents’ house to buy Shantou. Although I bought it for my sister-in-law, it also made a big splash.
In the past, when she married Bai Dazhuang, many people in the village dismissed her, saying that she had married into a slum.
This time when I returned to my parents' home, I specially put on a new dress and a silver hairpin. I bought big and small bags with Bai Dazhuang in the town and hired a car to go there. Zhen even gave her five taels of silver in private to bring to her parents' home.
From the moment she entered the village, the villagers began to marvel.
When they heard that they were going to buy Shantou, they became even more envious.
From dismissing her to praising her for marrying into a good family.
Even her mother's family's faces became brighter.
Before she left, her mother held her hand and sighed happily, saying that she was finally beginning to enjoy happiness.
Now her parents don't know that Erlang's legs can stand up. If they knew, they would be even more happy for her.
After talking about buying the mountain, Mrs. Bai talked about the village-run private school.
Because she promised that the rice and noodles for these days would be provided by the Bai family, she and Zhen took stock of the construction period of the private school and how much rice and noodles were needed.
"We will start a private school from tomorrow, and our family will take care of the food. Chuntao and Qiuniang, you two, be more alert then, and Jingui, don't be lazy. This is not to work for others, but for our children and Erzhuang. "
Xie Chuntao and others agreed that they must take it seriously by raising their hands.
Qiuniang quickly prepared dinner. Because it got dark late in the summer, the dinner was placed in the yard.
Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew happened to enter the house just before dinner was put on the table.
"Fifth brother." Xiao Fuyuan greeted Bai Zhaomei.
Different from before, Bai Zhaomei looked a little unhappy, but when she saw Xiao Fuyuan, she still smiled reluctantly.
"What's wrong with Fifth Brother?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.
"Uncle Wu was scolded by my father and made to stand still." Saburo said.
"I have to copy big characters at night." Dalang looked sympathetic.
Bai Banban and others didn't take it seriously, thinking that it must be Bai Zhaomei who caused trouble in the school or didn't study seriously, so Bai Erzhuang punished him.
"That's how it should be," Shiro said.
Xiao Fuyuan looked at Fifth Brother's face and felt that Fifth Brother didn't look like a troublemaker. Although he didn't like studying, he wouldn't cause trouble in class.
We can't arbitrarily think that the fifth brother should be punished. The boy's emotions also need to be comforted.
"Fifth brother, what's going on? You have to tell me why the second brother punished you. What if the second brother punished you wrongly?" Xiao Fuyuan said seriously.
