043 Satisfactory residence
Wan Changsheng nodded and said, "Master, we all like the environment here and it is comfortable to live here. You can just go about your business and don't have to worry about us anymore."
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "It's good that you like it. The village head is a nice person. There is a canteen in the village where everyone can eat together. There will be some red envelopes at the end of the year, and four sets of clothes for the four seasons. Brother Wan, you are different from other people in the village. You are free here. If you want to go to the city to do business, just tell the village head."
Soon, Xu Zhuangtou arrived.
"My Lord, you are here."
"Old Xu, let me introduce you. This is Wan Changsheng and his wife. Brother Wan's son is my apprentice. Find someone to teach him how to grow herbs. He knows a little bit about medicinal materials. His benefits will be the same as those of the people in the village. His monthly salary will come directly from me. If Brother Wan has any requests, please try your best to satisfy him."
What is there not to understand in Xu Zhuang? The parents of the eldest son's apprentice are no different from guests. Just take good care of them.
"Understood, young master."
He bowed to Wan Changsheng again and said, "Master Wan, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Wan Changsheng waved his hands and said, "Xu Zhuangtou, I am here to do work. You don't have to be so polite. Just call me Changsheng. My husband and I are farmers."
The smile on Xu Zhuangtou's face became much more genuine.
Sun Sicheng was satisfied in his heart. Wan Changsheng seemed to be a nice person.
He chuckled and said, "Brother Wan, I have to go to the city. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with. I will come over in two days. Then I will invite you to the apprenticeship banquet. Time is tight this time, so it will not be a big event. I will just invite a few friends to get together.
Ping An, you and Er Qiang should spend some time with your parents these days, you will definitely leave at the beginning of the month."
Ping An nodded: "Master, I understand. You can go on with your work."
Wan Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right, young master. You go and do your thing. If I have any questions, I'll go find Xu Zhuangtou. We'll be familiar with each other in a few days."
"That's good, Brother Wan. Our pharmacy is close to the city. If my sister-in-law needs to buy something, you can go to the street by yourselves or ask the purchasing department of the pharmacy to bring it for you.
Anyway, if you feel uncomfortable, just let me know. I'm going back to the city now. I have a lot of things to do."
After Sun Sicheng left.
Xu Zhuangtou quickly found a small courtyard for Wan Changsheng.
The yard is not big, it is just not far from the main yard. It was originally a small guest yard with only one entrance. There are three main rooms in the main house, two main rooms on the east and the west, a living room in the middle, a small yard in front and back, and a kitchen and toilet.
The well is only two hundred meters away from the yard, so it is very convenient to use water. Zhuanghe is only half a mile away. Small items can be washed with water from the well at home, and large items can also be conveniently carried to the river.
Mei Niang was particularly satisfied with these.
When a woman is at home, she is mostly responsible for cleaning and washing, so the convenient access to water is very important.
There are also two small side rooms, which can be used as storage rooms.
It's small and compact, but completely sufficient.
Wan Changsheng was particularly satisfied. He stayed here with Mei Niang. After five or ten years, even if that person was still there, he would not worry anymore.
The child has changed his surname to Wan Ping'an, and the baby has grown into a young boy. Even if his biological father were right in front of him, he probably wouldn't recognize him.
In fact, he had an idea in mind, which was to secretly ask the eldest master to take his pulse while he was still here, to see if he could prescribe some medicine, and maybe help his wife get pregnant earlier.
There is no man who doesn't miss his own flesh and blood. Throughout life, people always want their bloodline to be passed on.
If Mei Niang could give birth to such a good child like Ping An, how bad could her next child be?
"Husband, help me fetch water and clean the house. Erqiang, take Ping An to clean up your west room. I'll make the bed later."
"Okay." Erqiang has been like a chicken with blood injected these days. The Huo family received another red envelope of one or two taels. His aunt asked him to keep it for himself, saying that he couldn't go out without any money.
Is this a little money?
This is a lot of money, enough to buy 500 buns, 1,000 steamed buns, and many, many other things.
This was the first time in his life that he had worn so many new clothes and received so much red envelope money.
It's because he is still young, otherwise he would have enough money to marry a wife.
The yard was small, so it was cleaned up quickly. During this time, Xu Zhuangtou brought people to pull in a cart of firewood and a bag of rice, and said that they could pick any amount of vegetables from the village.
After the things were brought, Wan Changsheng accepted them. From then on, he would never accept these things again.
They also brought extra food from home, which was enough to last for two months. Since there were only two people at home, a truckload of food bought from the city would be enough to last for a year.
We definitely grow our own vegetables, and we can cut them down on the hill in Chaizhuang. Life here is pretty convenient.
The more the couple thought about it, the more satisfied they became.
After cleaning the house, it was still early. Seeing his parents busy at home, Ping'an took Erqiang for a stroll around the village.
No matter where you go, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. It may sound a bit exaggerated, but looking around is better than staying in the house.
"Ping An, do you think I will have enough money to buy such a big farm in the future?"
Ping An smiled and said, "I estimate that a manor this size would cost only two or three thousand taels. Of course you can buy it."
"hiss."
"What's the matter? You have 13 taels of silver now, which is enough to buy an acre of land in the town. If you save until you are in your twenties or thirties, it should be enough. At least you can buy a farm as big as Gu County."
Er Qiang's eyes lit up: "Guxian Farm is great. I heard that it's over 40 acres, just enough for my family to grow crops. If it's too big, we can't grow crops. Country people don't like to buy people. It's hard to make a living, so why spend money to suffer? It's not worth it."
Ping An grinned: "I didn't expect that my second cousin is such a good person at living."
Erqiang brushed off the non-existent dust on his body and puffed out his chest: "Of course, I'll use the money I saved to help my brother get married and then buy some land, not necessarily a farm. In the future, I can also buy a house in the county town and the whole family can move to the city, hehehe."
As he spoke excitedly, Er Qiang's steps seemed to be slow, and he looked very energetic.
Ping An teased him, "You want to live in the county town, so you don't plan to follow me in the future? I plan to live in the prefectural capital at least, and maybe I will live in the capital for a long time."
"hiss."
The little guy inhaled again.
"Ping An, will you still live in the capital? Then I will definitely follow you, and follow you for the rest of my life.
My family can live in the county town first, and when I make a lot of money, we can also live in the capital. But my grandfather will definitely not agree. He said that no place is better than your own. It doesn't matter if that's true. I'll bring the money I make to them to spend."
The young boy became excited. Just taking big steps was not enough to express his excitement, and his arms began to swing vigorously.
Ping An was a little overjoyed: "I see, let's go back and wash up early, my mother should have boiled the water."
The farm is too big, and all you see are mostly medicinal herbs. There are also some paddy fields, which should be grown and sold by the farmers themselves.
There are still many people working in the fields, both men and women, and many teenagers. I don’t know how many farmers there are.
After saving enough money, he still wanted to buy some property first and put it under his mother's name. No matter what, she was the mother of his life, and it was only right for her to have peace of mind.
He will never be short of money in his life.
