For those of you who are chasing after you slowly, the time has entered December.
Because it was the first month since the Shen family arrived, life was very busy.
Mr. Shen and Mr. Zhang Mancang had already followed Zhu Lizheng to the county to get the title deed of the house they bought.
Zhu Lizheng also helped ask if anyone in the village wanted to sell their land, and coincidentally, one of the families who wanted to sell their land was the same family they were renting from now.
The owner of the house that the Shen family is renting now has a surname of Liu, and his full name is Liu Mao.
Their family opened a noodle shop in the town, and the business was pretty good. However, the Liu family was small, with only a couple and their children living in the town.
Business in the town is booming, so naturally there is no time to take care of the fields and land in the village.
They originally wanted to sell the land, but unfortunately they could not find a buyer.
It happened that that day, Zhu Li was taking several members of the Shen family and Zhang family to the county to apply for land deeds. When he was passing through the town on his way back, he remembered that he wanted to tell Liu Mao about renting a house.
The Shen family spent a lot of money, and Zhu Lizheng had a good impression of them. He was willing to say a few words to them if he saw anything they didn't know.
On the way there, Zhu Lizheng briefly explained the situation of the Liu family.
One of the two parties wanted to sell the land, and the other wanted to buy the land. After meeting, they naturally hit it off.
The Liu family has ten acres of paddy fields, and it would cost sixty taels of silver to buy them all.
Of the ten acres of land, the Shen family wants seven acres, and the Zhang family wants three acres.
The brothers have settled their accounts clearly, and since they have settled in the village, naturally they will pay for the land in their own way.
Mr. Shen and Mr. Zhang directly handed over the money to buy the land to Liu Mao.
Several people went to the county again and settled the matter of transferring the land.
And during the transfer, they also got some news.
These days, other refugees have also come here one after another, but they have been arranged to go to other places.
The government also posted notices to inform these newly arrived refugees.
You can open up wasteland in the place where you settle down, and the land obtained from wasteland development can be freely used by the developer.
Moreover, no taxes will be charged on newly reclaimed land for five years. However, the people who can reclaim the land can only be the refugees this time, but not the original residents.
However, there is a time limit for this. After next autumn, we will no longer be able to open up wasteland at will.
When they heard the news, Mr. Shen and Mr. Zhang were both overjoyed.
We had just settled the paddy field issue and was thinking about where to buy another two acres of dry land. When I felt sleepy, I gave him a pillow.
Even if those wastelands are opened, the harvest will not be good in the first two years, but it is better than nothing.
Once the land deeds and land were settled, the big stone in everyone's mind fell away, and everyone devoted themselves wholeheartedly to building a house.
After Shen Yuyu went to town that day, she put her thoughts into practice.
She dug out several martial arts novels and fantasy novels from the corners of the space.
The biggest entertainment activity for the Shen family before going to bed every night is to listen to Shen Yu's stories.
While she was talking, she asked the literate elder man in the family to write notes on paper. Now they have a thick pile.
Shen Yuyu is thinking about how to find the right opportunity to deal with these manuscripts.
Ever since the Shen family arrived at Longxian Village, except for Pan Hou's incident that day, even some quarrels were usually harmless, and everything else went smoothly.
After they settled in the village, they plowed a small piece of land next to the house, bought some seasonal vegetables from other families in the village, and planted them.
On the fifth day of December, the Zhang family's new house was completed.
Ding Hehua stood outside the yard looking at the brand new brick and tile house, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Oh my, I can live in a house like this in my life. It's really worth it."
She grabbed Zhang Wendong next to her, pulled him in and walked in.
Others also followed in. The space in the courtyard was large enough, and even if everyone stood in, there would still be room.
Although everyone has been here many times, the completely built house is different from the one being built.
Ding Hehua pointed to one of the rooms and said: "Wen Dong, you will live in this room after you move in. This room is bright and spacious. When my mother arranges a marriage for you next year, my heart will be complete." "
When Zhang Wendong heard his mother's words, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Shen Yuyu.
Shen Yuyu put his hand on the wall and pushed it gently, although he didn't pay attention to the conversation between Ding Hehua and Zhang Wendong.
Zhang Wendong withdrew his eyes and said with some disinterest: "Mother, there is no rush in this matter."
Upon hearing this, Ding Hehua's Tathagata palm directly landed on Zhang Wendong's back.
She only thought that Zhang Wendong had a short face and was embarrassed to talk about this matter in front of everyone.
She smiled and scolded: "Why don't you hurry? You will be eighteen in another year."
"Mom will find someone for you first. If you find someone suitable, we will propose marriage."
When he thought about getting married and having children, Zhang Wendong subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that his mother would talk endlessly about it, so he simply kept his mouth shut.
He likes women like his cousin Yu Yu, who are confident and bright.
But I don’t know about my cousin...
Zhang Wendong shook off the thoughts in his mind, thinking that even if his mother introduced the woman, he only needed to agree without relenting.
Ding Hehua next to him continued talking enthusiastically.
"We are new here and are not familiar with it, but I asked the aunts in your village to pay attention. If there is anyone suitable, let us know."
She herself said it was not enough, so she took Ms. Song and Ms. Zhao and said, "Dalang and Erlang are not young anymore. If there is a suitable one, they have to be settled. Children as old as them will crawl on the ground."
Song and Zhao were obviously very interested in this issue, and the three of them gathered around and chatted.
Shen Dalang and Shen Erlang next to him were a little helpless. They stood beside Zhang Wendong on the left and right, and patted him on the shoulder at the same time.
The two sighed in a low voice: "Hey, we are brothers in distress."
Shen Dalang and Shen Erlang were not as opposed to getting married as Zhang Wendong was.
They are not young anymore. They originally wanted to be a scholar before getting married, but now their plans have been disrupted, so they will naturally adapt to changes.
The three women were having a lively drama outside, while others walked into the house.
Now that the house has just been built, it is still empty. They have also made a lot of scattered items such as furniture in recent days.
The tables and benches are all ready, but as for the large beds and wardrobes, I still have to go to town.
There is a family named Du in the village who does woodwork, and he usually helps everyone make some small things.
Shen Yuhu and others went to see the family's craftsmanship. The Du family and his son were very good at carpentry.
Mr. Zhang and the others added everything they could.
The Shen family built many houses, so they naturally needed more furniture. Large items were time-consuming, so they simply ordered a lot of furniture for the Du family to prepare in advance, so that they could live in it just after the house was built.
After waiting for another five days, the Du family and his son finished all the Zhang family's furniture.
The Shen family helped Mr. Zhang and the others carry the things into the house and put them away.
Ding Hehua couldn't hide her excitement and asked, "When will we move the things here?"
Mr. Zhang clapped his hands and said: "We will move today. It's not far away. I can pull the things here in two trips."
Everyone made another trip and pulled all the Zhang family's things over.
They have finally settled down.
That night, the Shen family and four members of the Zhang family set up two tables in the yard of the new house to celebrate.
Mr. Shen also specially took out a can of monkey wine for everyone to taste.
Shen Yuyu came back late because she had something to do. She was not there when the wine was poured, and she didn't take a sip. Smelling the aroma of the wine, she felt anxious and angry.
