Seven families in Ye Pier bought land.

The news spread like the wind among the fishermen in Honghu Lake.

"Hey, did you know? The ones in Ye Pier bought land."

"Really or not, it's hard to buy land now. Where did they buy it from?"

"I heard that shopkeeper Li from Fushun was going back to Yangzhou. He had a small farm and sold it to seven families in Ye dock."

"How small a village is? Their seven families are not as well-off as us. Can they afford a village?"

"You don't know this, right? The seven of them and Shopkeeper Li are jointly engaged in the eel cage business, and they should earn a lot of money. Anyway, the land was bought. As for how big the village is, I haven't seen it, so I don't know.

."

"I also heard that Ye Pier is hiring people to make eel cages. Are these eel cages really so profitable?"

"I heard that you can get ten cents for weaving an eel cage. If you are quick, you can make more than ten per day."

"Oh my God, there are more than one hundred fen, so do they still need people now? I don't want to earn more than 100 fen a day, I will be satisfied with thirty or fifty fen. It's much better than fishing for me."

"No, shopkeeper Li is going back to Yangzhou. The eel cage business has stopped in the past two days. I heard that the sheds at Ye Pier have started to be demolished in preparation for moving."

"You really don't want anyone anymore?"

"I really don't want it anymore. I can still fool you. Let's wait and see next year. It doesn't mean that shopkeeper Li bought Laifushun Restaurant. He will definitely come back next year. Maybe the eel cage business of those in Ye Pier can still be done by then.

stand up."

"We have to wait until next year! I don't know if I can survive this winter. What my family earns now is barely enough to make ends meet."

"If you ask me, we might as well make it up ourselves. I heard that the eel cages from Ye Pier are shipped to Yangzhou and sold for sixty cents each. We don't want sixty cents each. Fifty or forty cents will do."

"Don't say fifty or forty, I can weave even thirty articles. Bamboo is not valuable. You have to weave several eel cages from one bamboo."

"Then let's go find some bamboo and try it?"

"Just give it a try, and it doesn't cost anything. I have made eel cages at the dock. The worst case scenario is that we can't sell them, so we can go and harvest the fish ourselves. The eel cages are not easy to sell, and there will always be people who want the eel cages."

"Maybe next year, like the seven families in Ye Pier, we will be lucky enough to buy a small village!"

"Hahahaha...that's not certain."

A group of men were originally envious of the fact that the seven fishermen in Ye Pier could afford to buy land. Now, these people went to the bamboo garden with great interest, planning to buy a few bamboos and try to make eel cages.

In fact, more than a month ago, the eel cage business in Ye Pier had just started to pick up, and some people were selling eel cages in Jiangjiaba.

However, under the operation of shopkeeper Li, the eel cages from Ye Pier are sent to various places in Yangzhou and are not sold locally, so there is no conflict.

Nowadays, every household in Ye dock is busy moving, and they don't care about others taking away their eel cage business.

Eel Lung doesn't have many skills to begin with, and it is something that is easy to learn. If someone else learns it, this is something Lu Xiange had already anticipated.

Now, she is waiting to finish moving and start a small business alone with her sisters.

Of the seven families, only the Lu family moved everything into the house.

The other six families did not move here.

They only bought the land and did not build a house yet.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and it will take some time to build houses after the harvest. During these days, everyone is still living on the boat.

But from Ye Pier, the boat stopped at Happy Ridge.

Fortunately, this place is close to the windbreak, and the water of the Hong River happens to turn here. The six families parked their boats in a piece of water at the turn.

Because it is far away from the river, leeward and facing the sun, it is a good place.

"Xiaosi, our few houses can't accommodate that many families, otherwise..."

Lu Quan hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Why don't you, Uncle Zhang, and his family move here too? Autumn will soon come, and the weather will get colder and colder..."

Lu Quan was a little unable to say what happened next.

The weather was cold, and the shacks and cabins were no longer suitable for living. But for so many years, their families had either lived in shacks with drafts everywhere, or the whole family had been crowded into one cabin.

Why is it that now that we have land and a house, we can't bear the cold?

Lu Xiangge looked puzzled: "It's fine as long as dad makes the decision. This is dad's house, so of course dad will make the arrangements. Why did you think of asking the child?"

"Dad is just asking because I'm afraid you won't be used to living with everyone else."

"It's nothing that I'm not used to. When we lived on the boat, we were next to Uncle Zhang and his family."

Lu Sheige understood Lu Quan's thoughts very well. In previous years, he had no choice but to live on the boat.

Now that he has a house, it is more than enough for his family to live in. He must not be able to bear it when he sees his brothers who suffered together in the past being frozen on the boat. Moreover, although it is said that the six families will build houses, some of them plan to build after the autumn harvest.

Some are planning to build it next spring.

The Zhang family, the Ma family, and the Li family will build houses after the autumn harvest, while only the Chen Ping'an family will be built next spring.

Chen Pingan also wants to build in the autumn, but his family, old and young, has no one to carry the adobe bricks. He can only wait for his uncles and uncles' houses to be built, and then find someone to help his family move the adobe bricks that need to be built.

They were scooped out and then had to be dried before building a house.

Lu Quan initially wanted Grandma Chen to move in with Chen Pingan and Chen Yaoyao, but then he thought that it would not be a good idea to just let the Chen family live in. It would be better to be more generous and let several families move in.

After their house is built, they can move out one by one.

"Then I'll talk to you and Uncle Zhang later when they come back from the fields." Xiaosi didn't object, and Lu Quan felt relieved.

Moving people on the boat is easy, just tear down the shack, throw what can be packed onto the boat, prop it up and leave.

In addition to some vegetation ash and traces of human habitation, not even a straw stick was left at the original wild dock.

These people are careful. Things that others think are useless are useful in their eyes. Including branches and grass, they are all things that can be used to start a fire.

Lu Quan came here several times to buy land, and his own land was in the southeast corner. He had already visited it. Today he came here and was busy cleaning up the house and did not go to the land. As for the other six families, only the heads of the family were here.

I have seen the fields, but my wife, children and elderly people at home have not seen them yet. Today I harvested the fields, so naturally I want to take my family and children to see the fields.

Even if they only have three acres of land, they have earned it through hard work.

Only Lu Quan and his family were left in and out of this house.

By the time the other six families came back from the fields with satisfaction, Lu Quan had almost settled their houses.

The house belongs to their family, so naturally they live in the main house.

In addition to the main room, the main house has two rooms, east and west. Their family lives in these three rooms.

He, Qiu and Xiaowu lived in the east room, while Xiaosi and Xiaoqing sisters lived in the west room.

There is a room at each end connecting the east room and the west room, which is opened from the corridor. The wing room next to the east room is reserved for Chen Yaoyao and Grandma Chen.

Grandma Chen is the elder and the eldest in the family. It is not rude to live across the wall from Mr. and Mrs. Lu Quan.
