Chapter 54 The Return of Yao Sanzhu
The thirty acres of land totaled one hundred and eighty taels, and Guoer paid all in silver. He also took out some broken silver and a few copper coins and handed them to Yao Lao Yao. The broken silver was given to Zhang Ya as a commission.
It is a customary agreement between the Ya people in buying and selling, and both the buyer and the seller must pay it.
The copper coins are given to the noodle shop owner to pay for tea receptions.
"Come on, Uncle Yao, I've done everything smoothly today. It's familiar once and twice. If you need anything again in the future, just ask and I promise to be on call." Zhang Yaren said with his fists clasped.
Dad Yao: "Okay, no problem."
"By the way, uncle, don't forget to go to the government office as soon as possible to exchange the official deed. The matter will not be completed until the official deed is exchanged." Zhang Yaren reminded again.
"Yes, I'll ask my son to do it tomorrow."
When buying and selling land among private parties, it is not complete after both parties have settled the money and goods. They still need to take the deed to the county government office to go through the formal transfer procedures. The official will paste the official unified deed tail on the private deed and stamp it with the official seal.
It is finally over, and people call this the official deed. With the official deed, the land is considered to be one's own.
You can go to the government to exchange the official deed and let Yao Ren help you complete it, but Father Yao remembered that this time he was asking for a favor from Yao Fushan, and Yao Fushan was working in the county government office, so he might as well ask his son to go to the county government office.
The first step was to apply for the official deed, and the second step was to thank Yao Fushan in person.
Zhangya people drove the family to the entrance of Shangyao Village, and then the two parties said goodbye to each other.
After returning home, the family heard that they had purchased a land of thirty acres, and they were so excited that they couldn't believe it.
"Mom, take some money and give it to Dalin, buy some meat, buy two kilograms of wine, kill another of our chickens, and let the whole family have a good meal tonight."
Father Yao ordered Mrs. Tao. Mrs. Tao lifted up her clothes and wiped her eyes while nodding in agreement. She opened the cabinet and took out the money tremblingly.
Early the next morning, Father Yao asked his eldest and second son to take money and go out. Going to the county government office to apply for an official deed required paying deed tax. Father Yao continued to urge his wife to open the cabinet to get the money, and also told his two sons to pay more.
I bought a few things and thanked Yao Fushan in person.
There was someone in the county government who was easy to handle, and when brother Yao Tiezhu rushed there, Yao Fushan happened to be there, so he successfully paid the deed tax and got a deed with the official seal, and the two of them rushed back in the afternoon.
After arriving home, Yao Tiezhu took out the official deed from his arms and handed it to the old couple:
"I met Brother Fushan. It's easy to do things if you have acquaintances in the county government. I paid the deed tax of four or two and five yuan, and the official deed was quickly processed. I bought two packs of cakes, two kilograms of good wine, and five kilograms of cut.
The mutton was also given to Brother Fushan. Brother Fushan refused to take it no matter what, and pushed it for a long time before taking it."
Yao Tiezhu couldn't help smiling when he talked about his experience in the county government.
"That's good, that's good."
Father Yao said repeatedly, looking at the official deed on the kang table without blinking. On it was his name Yao Qian, and a total of thirty acres of land. The good thing he had been dreaming about all his life had finally come true.
Mrs. Tao also stared at the official deed with a red seal, and couldn't help but lift up his clothes and wipe his tears. He finally had hope for this day, and his family had their own land.
One day when the cold wind was howling, the strong men who had gone out to work came back, and the people in the village went to the entrance of the village to greet them.
The period of labor this time was relatively long, almost two months, and all the strong men from the nearby villages were serving in the south of the county dozens of miles away. Digging ditches and building roads every day was extremely tiring and tiring, so
When they all appeared at the entrance of the village, they were almost like beggars, with unkempt hair and dirty faces, and it was almost impossible to tell who was who.
Everyone trembled and stepped forward, opening their eyes wide to identify their relatives. After recognizing them clearly, they all stepped forward with red eyes and took the dirty and colorless packages from their relatives' hands. Some burst into tears before they even spoke.
Mrs. Tao was followed by her son and a large group of grandchildren. The whole family had been waiting at the intersection for a long time. Even Mrs. Bao, who was tough-tongued, had red eyes and followed her mother-in-law with eager anticipation.
After finally finding Yao Sanzhu among these unkempt men, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately rushed towards him, hugging him and crying together.
Yao Sanzhu shook his arms unaccustomedly, as if he wanted to throw away the two women holding him on the left and right, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged him too tightly, and he could only let them rub their noses and tears together.
Yao Tiezhu and Yao Erzhu stepped forward to take the package from his shoulders. The three brothers looked at it silently for a while without saying anything. They had to perform this routine every time they came back from the corvee, and the brothers were used to it.
When Mr. Tao and Mr. Bao were almost done crying, they walked back all the way.
Everyone in the village has come out. In addition to greeting their own relatives, when they see the strong men coming back from other people's homes, they will also warmly come up to say hello and say hello.
Different from when he left, Yao Sanzhu walked home all the way. The villagers he saw came forward to talk to him with concern. The unusual affection in their words made him a little confused.
As usual, the three Lins were leading the way, shouting "Uncle San/My father is back!" The lively atmosphere made Yao Sanzhu's nose sore.
After shouting and hugging each other, he entered the house and saw Yao's father, his sister-in-law who had not gone out, his nieces and a crowd of people waiting for him in the yard.
"Father, mother, my son is back!"
Yao Sanzhu knelt down in front of Father Yao with a plop, and started howling at the top of his lungs as soon as he finished speaking.
There was no other way. He wanted to be like his two brothers. When he came back, he could just kowtow in front of his parents and say he was safe. But the tears just kept flowing out, so he just cried for a while. These days of hard work
It almost killed him.
When Father Yao first saw the shabby look of the third child, he was distressed, but before he could react, the worthless thing knelt on the ground and howled like a woman, causing his wife and Mr. Bao to follow suit.
Crying together, Father Yao felt his anger rising again.
Holding back his breath, Father Yao went back to the house with his hands behind his back.
Mrs. Tao hugged her son and cried for a while, then she straightened up with the help of everyone, and began to spread her hands with trembling hands. She ordered the cooks to cook and the water fetchers to fetch water. Mrs. Bao also wiped away her tears and returned to the west wing.
He rummaged through the box and found a set of clean clothes for the man to change into.
For several days in a row, Yao Sanzhu lay on the hot bed in the west wing, enjoying all the love from his family with peace of mind. He had three delicious meals a day like confinement, with a few snacks in between. He was so comfortable that he didn't want to go out.
Already.
There were people coming and going in the house these days, so Guoer simply stopped working on making silk flowers and stayed with Mr. Bao for a few days as a filial daughter, listening to her father enthusiastically promote various things about serving on the construction site.
Yao Sanzhu exaggerated and made himself particularly miserable, but no one was moved after hearing it too many times. On the contrary, Guo'er felt that her father's mouth had some talent for stand-up comedy. Look at this one after another, it sounds like
