Chapter 91 Buy a house

Seeing this effective, Chen was relieved. "Fortunately you came up with such an idea, otherwise, this year's bastard would have been blind."

Jinghan just smiled and said nothing. She just lowered her head and fiddled the fire in the stove for a few times, and then threw two pieces of firewood in. "Grandma, go out quickly. The room is too hot. You are old, don't be so hot that you feel dizzy for a while." The room was steaming hot, and it had to feel about 40 degrees, nearly fifty degrees. Jinghan opened the window and let out the moisture. Then he pulled Chen out with him. It was so hot that no one could stand it.

Since this drying method is easy to use, Zhixin didn't care that it was raining outside, so he quickly returned to the village and told everyone. So every household in the village built a house and then burned more fire to dry the hammer. Now, Jinghan accidentally spread the drying method.

After the rain fell for a few days, it finally stopped. Everyone quickly lifted the sticks out of the house and then baked them outside. The dry sticks in the house are really not as good as those exposed by the sun. They lacked a sense of transparency and the color was a little dark.

Two more days later, the water in the ginseng field disappeared. Zhixin and Zhiming quickly went to work on the ginseng soil. If they didn't make it out quickly, this year's hammer would not be able to get it.

On August 22nd, Wen Han came back, but he had not taken the exam. None of the few people they went there this time had passed. Of course, everyone wanted to persuade Wen Han, and they all said that he was still young, only fifteen years old, so how could he be admitted to the scholar at such a young age?

Wen Han also realized that he was a little too anxious, so he decided to do it, and then went back to the town to study.

Manager Yue sent someone over and sent two pieces of silk woven from tussaurus silk, which were very thick and had a good color. The visitor said, "Our master said that the tussaurus silk is very good, not much worse than mulberry silk. I also asked the second girl of the Xu family to raise more next year. No matter how many she has, we will all want it."

This is good news. As long as the tussaurus can be sold, Jinghan can also be confident and bold. There are many places suitable for raising tussaurus. If it can be formed, it will not only be necessary to point to ginseng in the future. Furthermore, these are not required for men to do anything, but women can do it. Just do it as a side job, and you can also make some investments every year.

"Brother, please go back and tell Uncle Yue that I will leave more cocoons next year. As long as Uncle Yue has a sales outlet, I will try my best to supply goods here." Jinghan quickly made a statement.

The man said goodbye and left after Jinghan's words.

Chen looked at the three little girls in the family and said, "In this way, you earn money from raising tusserole silkworms. Grandma doesn't move any money, so she will keep it for you to save the dowry. Jinghan and Jingwan are both eleven years old, so it should be time to prepare. In addition, the things you pick up on the mountain in the future will be kept for you alone. When the money is sold, they will be kept for you. Our family's life is slower now, and there is no need to be considered as a public official. Jinghan, you know your words, and every time you pay me the money, we will write a account. When you use the money, we will make the money right and then use it for you." The old lady Chen is really different from others. People want to make money hard in their hands, but she is different. She has never been willing to take advantage of her children and grandchildren.

Jinghan understood the old lady's temper and stopped insisting, "Grandma, let's do whatever you say you can do. Anyway, it's all the money from this family, and the meat is rotten in the pot. If there is any use at home in the future, just use it, don't think about us." Jingwan and Jingxian have always listened to Jinghan, so Jinghan said it on behalf of these two people.

There is no time for the farmhouse, and it is even more busy in autumn. It was not until September that the batons were all planted, and it was a little more leisurely. Of course, Jinghan could not be idle, and she was about to start fiddling with mushrooms. Zhixin and Zhiming took the time to add one more room to the two houses and rebuilt them so that they can put more mushrooms this winter.

The fungus planted this year have really produced a good crop. The fungus is large and thick, which is much better than the ones grown on the mountain. A total of about 100 kilograms of dry fungus were harvested. The yield in the first year is very good. Some monkey-headed mushrooms have also produced some, but they are not as good as those of fungus, and they can only do twenty or thirty kilograms.

In autumn, Jinghan also cultivated the strains of winter mushrooms, but this time he could only save the strains first and plant them again after the spring next year. Otherwise, even if the strains are in in autumn, it would be useless to be too cold.

One day in late September, two people suddenly came outside the venue. It turned out that someone from Zhixiang sent back to deliver the letter. This year, Zhixiang's friend did a good job there and was about to be promoted. He has received accurate news that he was going to return to a state in the north and become a state general. Zhixiang naturally had to come back with him. This time he was closer to home and should be able to come back and stay for a while.

The old man and Chen were so happy to hear this news. It is said that the old son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. Zhixiang is the youngest son, and it is really a pity for people to leave home for three years at once.

The sender said another pleasant news, which was Zhixiang’s friend, Lord Lu, who helped Zhixiang talk about a marriage. This time Zhixiang came back, and he might be preparing to get married.

As soon as the news was revealed, the whole family became happy. Now it was time for the family to hold a wedding ceremony again. After the two people were sent, the old lady couldn't sit still. "Oh, Lao Wu is going to talk about his wife, so we have to prepare quickly. Otherwise, it would be too hurrying when they come back. Old man, do we have to buy a house? If the new wife comes, we can't let them live in the mountains." The old lady started thinking about it now.

The old man thought for a long time and said, "You don't have to be too busy. We can buy the house first. Don't do the rest first. I don't know what Zhixiang and the others mean. Besides, we don't know where the new wife is, and what family background is. If we prepare, it will be bad if we don't like it anymore." The old man would think more carefully. "We just need to prepare the money, and the rest are easy to deal with. With this year's participation fee and the money for selling knives, can the family have 500 taels of silver?"

"That's right, then that's it. The family's money is guaranteed to be enough. Listen to you, let's look at the house first. Wenhan and the others are all in the town, so it's time to buy a house. If it's not good, they always live in Huixin." The old lady's excitement gradually passed, and she calmed down. After careful consideration, what the old man said was pretty good.

After everyone mentioned the requirements for the house, Jinghan said that it should be a little bigger. There are many people in the family and there are fewer rooms and cannot live in it. Besides, Jinghan also has to make mushrooms in winter. You can't stay in the mountain all your life, right? Buying a house is nothing else, and you can't say that you bought it today and sold it tomorrow. So you have to think it carefully at the beginning.

The old man thought about it and said, "Boss, go to the town to find a tooth shop. Let's try to buy a two-entry yard. The children at home are getting older and there are more rooms. Besides, Jinghan's mushrooms can't be stopped, so we really have to prepare a place to go. Originally, I was thinking of building a new house in the village. Now it seems that I really want to buy one in the town first. Wait until our family is no longer on the mountain, so let's see it later."

Zhixin nodded, "Sure, then I'll go and have a look these days. I guess as my father said, I might get two or three hundred taels of silver. Plus the furniture inside, it's really a lot of money. If Zhixiang gets married, it's not enough."

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "What's the worry about? When you got married, your family didn't prepare anything. What's wrong? When the fifth brother came, they had to make it so grand? Let the fifth brother worry about this. If he had the ability, he would spend a thousand taels, which was his ability. If he was not able to do so, it would be fine. The family spent a lot of money to support him in order to study. But the family had worked hard to save for three years. If they couldn't get married for him, they would all be harmed? Wenhan and the others are all older, so we can't ignore the children. Besides, the children have put most of the efforts in our family's earnings." The old man loves his son, but on these issues, he has never been biased and is the same for not having a son.

Jinghan nodded secretly after hearing this. Jinghan had always been very confused about the Xu family. The family said that there was no separation, and the sons were all outside. He said that they had split up, but when the third uncle had an accident, the family spared no effort to help, and even sold the house and land, so that the family had nowhere to live. Now it seems that the old man understood the matter so that he could arrange the sons well so that they would not make the brothers fight and make trouble for the sake of a little property. Even the youngest son who loved the most did not say that he went anywhere. If he bought the house, he would live together, not for Zhixiang alone.
