Li Zheng came out and saw that they were still there. He waved his hands and said, "Why are you still stuck here? If you have nothing to do, go home as soon as possible."
Everyone laughed, but didn't leave.
There is not much work in the fields during the winter, and new residents have finally arrived in the village, so they will definitely have to watch the excitement.
The Shen family led the ox cart and followed Li Zheng towards the inside of the village.
As they walked, there were fewer and fewer houses, and finally they stopped outside a large blue brick house.
On the way, Shen Yuyu had already told the Shen family and his party that this was where they would live temporarily.
Li Zheng took out a key and opened the door. There were a lot of weeds growing in the yard inside, and a lot of dust fell in the house.
However, the house is very tidy and can be lived in after tidying up.
There are five or six rooms in the yard, complete with kitchens, latrines, etc.
People watching the excitement outside were shocked when they saw the Shen family following Li Zheng into the house.
They all belong to the same village, so of course they know whose house this is.
But the important thing is that this house costs one hundred pence a day, so these people who have fled from famine live in it?
Shen Yuyu and Li Zheng agreed to pay the rent every five days, and Li Zheng would transfer the money to the family.
Shen Yuyu took five hundred coins and handed it to Li Zheng in front of everyone, and the money and goods were both received.
The villagers outside were silent, feeling a little sour in their hearts.
It seems that those people are not fleeing famine, they are the ones.
But after all, this is other people's money, and they have no right to say anything. They can only look at it with sour eyes.
After handing over the money, Mrs. Shen and the others stayed at home to clean up the yard and house.
The rest of the people followed Zhu Lizheng to see the house.
Li Zheng took them from the beginning of the village to the end of the village to look at the houses for each person to build a house, and let them choose a place by themselves.
Mr. Zhang Mancang, Mr. Shen, Shen Rong and Shen Yuyu gathered around to discuss for a while, and finally decided to buy the house in the open space behind the village.
The land at the front of the village where no one built houses was taken advantage of by the villagers.
If they chose that place to build their house, the villagers would have to lose everything.
Although they do not exclude new outsiders like them from settling in the village now, they may not be able to take over those houses where vegetables are grown.
Moreover, Shen Yuyu found it inconvenient to live in the middle of the village.
Although we have only been here for a while, everyone can see that life is not easy for the people in the village.
Now that they are not short of money, wouldn't it be tempting to eat meat every three days?
Besides, there are no two houses close to each other in the front and middle of the village, or the place is not big enough.
So they simply decided to choose the house behind the village, against the mountain, a little further back than the yard they rent now.
After they discussed it, they followed Li Zheng to choose the house.
The government originally gave them two houses, and the Zhang family asked for one. In addition to the house, the Shen family bought two more plots of land next to it, directly merging them into one large house.
The Shen family only needs to go to the county government together with Li Zheng to prepare the record and place the title deed.
The crowd of spectators was already numb. They spent dozens of taels of silver at will, and it was of no use to them no matter how upset they were.
However, some people still said sourly: "Hey, if you are really that rich, you can just buy a house in the town and move there. What are you showing off here?"
The person who spoke was a woman, and the people who came out with Zhu Lizheng to choose a house were all men except Shen Yuyu. It was not easy to argue with this quick talk, so she just pretended not to hear.
Just when everyone thought they would not have a quarrel with the villagers on the first day they arrived.
Shen Yuyu glanced at the woman and suddenly said, "It's really easy to eat carrots and not worry about anything."
The woman's eyes widened, she looked at Shen Yuyu and said, "You girl...what do you mean!"
Shen Yuyu glanced at her and said, "I told you to mind your own business."
When the woman gets angry, she opens her mouth and scolds: "You stinky girl..."
But Shen Yue directly interrupted her and said: "Uncles, after we have chosen a house, we will build a house. Next, we have to trouble all uncles. If anyone is willing to build a house, come to us to sign up tomorrow. The wages are twenty cents a day, and lunch is not included."
Everyone looked at Shen Yuyu in surprise, and then at Mr. Shen and the others.
They haven't discussed this matter yet, but Mr. Shen still reacted quickly.
He smiled and said: "What my granddaughter said is true. If anyone is willing to help build a house, you can sign up tomorrow."
Everyone had smiles on their faces. Who still remembered the unpleasant incident just now and began to ask repeatedly whether it was true.
You must know that after winter, they will have nothing to do if they stay at home. People are almost idle and their hair will grow.
If I could earn some money by building a house before the year before, I would be better off this year.
And the woman couldn't say the words stuck in her throat, or it could be said that she didn't dare to say them.
There is also a man in her family, and she also wants her family to help earn some coins.
So the woman calmly kept her mouth shut and planned to let her man and children go when she signed up tomorrow.
