Chapter 577 The substitute of Daliu Village has arrived
The people were so happy that after kneeling down to express their gratitude, they happily ran to the land office to buy their own land.
When they held the land deed with the ink still on it, they burst into tears again, and their hands were shaking with excitement.
What they had dreamed of for most of their lives was finally realized!
At the same time, some other officials who held a large number of manors were getting a little restless.
Did Pei Lao and his men exchange their lives for all the manors?
Obviously, the imperial master had been dissatisfied with the court officials occupying the land for a long time.
Today, Pei Lao and his men were at fault, and they were caught in a trap. If they were not careful, they would be hanged on the knife one day.
Therefore, the families that occupied the most land, after discussing together, hurriedly sold off their land, leaving only eight or nine manors.
Although they were very distressed, at least they could sell them now, which was better than handing them over to the court for nothing in the future like Pei Lao and others!
Soon, there were many more manors on the market, and wealthy people rushed to buy them.
However, in order to control the occupation of land, Mu Yihan ordered in advance that no one could own more than three manors.
It just so happened that the two neighboring manors next to the Jiang family's manor were shouting for sale these two days. After hearing about it, the Jiang family members saw that they were now well-off, so they simply spent money to buy them.
The family suddenly had two more manors, and of course Feng Hu was still in charge.
Jiang Fenghu said happily while holding the deed, "I just love dealing with farms. No matter how many farms we have, I don't feel tired."
Feng smiled at him, "That's true, but our family is not greedy. Just buy these two. It's enough for you to manage. We can't learn from those greedy people who just want to occupy land all day long, and finally ruin the atmosphere in Beijing."
Jiang Fenghu also knew this, grinning, "Mom is right, people must be content! Moreover, our new farm is waiting for tenants, and we have to give them the cheapest rent. We can't let their hard-earned money go to waste!"
Xiao Nuobao had just returned from the palace. As soon as he walked into the yard, he heard this and his eyes smiled into crescents.
It is said that a family that accumulates good deeds will surely have more blessings.
The Jiang family always acted with conscience and did good deeds, so they can have such a prosperous life today.
Although my mother always said that the family was rich because of her.
But think about it, if my mother hadn't been kind and saved her from the river that day, how could she bring good fortune to the Jiang family instead of the Zhang, Wang, Li and Zhao families?
Thinking of this, the little fat girl's heart was filled with warmth, and she bared her little white teeth and rushed to her mother and second brother.
"Mom, did our family buy a new house? I want to go and see it~" Xiao Nuobao smiled and raised her fair little face.
Feng's eyes lit up, and she hugged her daughter and her husband and said, "My dear, you are back from the palace. Good, good, after lunch, let your sister-in-law stay at home and we will go to see the new village together."
Sun Chunxue was still snoring in the house, not knowing that she had become a "professional" housekeeper.
For lunch, a big bowl of "pig quilt" was served.
The beans and ribs were stewed with soybean paste until they were soft and bright in color. The dough on top was even softer and soaked in the meaty soup. When you pick it up, you will want to eat it with your chopsticks. It
was served with a dish of refreshing shredded potatoes, a dish of mixed three-diced vegetables, and a bowl of lean meat porridge for each person. The little Nuobao burped after eating so much, but he still lingered on the table with a playful smile, reluctant to put down his bowl and chopsticks.
After lunch and a short rest, Feng took Xiao Nuobao, Fenghu, Fengjing, Fengmiao and a bunch of other kids to the new farm in the north of the city.
When they arrived, it was quiet and peaceful, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Xiao Nuobao jumped off the carriage, put his hands behind his back, and skipped around to inspect.
Feng followed behind, "My dear girl, walk slowly. There is still snow on the ground that hasn't melted yet. Be careful not to fall."
Jiang Fenghu's eyes were bright as he looked at everything in the new farm. He was happy that his farm "territory" had expanded again!
The two new farms were next to each other. The original tenants were dispersed by the original owner, so there was no one living there. It was very empty now.
Soon, Xiao Nuobao discovered that this place was very different from the Jiang family's previous farm.
The previous farm was full of fields, with neatly arranged land huts and only a row of low farmhouses in front of the farm. The farmhouses were all built the same, and there was no vitality, let alone the interest of farmers.
In this new farm, although there are not many houses, they are built carefully, large and small, and arranged in an orderly manner.
There is a small river winding through the small mud road of the farm. Between the village head and the farmhouses, there are old locust trees and apricot trees that farmers love the most.
The farm is also a piece on the left and a piece on the right, arranged in a disorderly manner, but it has a more rural atmosphere, and there are two grape racks at the end of the field.
Xiao Nuobao looked at this place and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
It seems that their Daliu Village is similar to this place!
Before the young man could get excited and shout, Feng was suddenly struck by a long-lost hometown feeling.
"Second brother, how come this manor looks so similar to the layout of our village..." Feng said in a daze with her mouth wide open.
Feng Hu rubbed his eyes, and his eyes lit up. He pointed to the old locust tree in front of him, "Mom, it seems so. Look at that locust tree. It is almost the same as the one at the entrance of our village. It also has a crooked neck and there is a crow's nest on it!"
Speaking of the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, it is the gathering place of the "intelligence" of the whole village.
"That's what I heard. Mother used to love chatting with the women in our village there. When Mrs. Liu finished her work, she would take a horse and sit there. She would often spit on everyone's face." Mrs. Feng smiled and looked over, and her eyes became sour again.
This rare sense of familiarity made the Jiang family feel warm, as if looking at this manor more could relieve their homesickness!
Feng Jing and Feng Miao drooped their little faces, thinking of the days when the two brothers carried Nuobao on their backs and showed off their sister everywhere in the village.
Xiao Nuobao was also upset at this time. She clapped her chubby hands and ran over, "Mom, let's give this manor a good name, so that it can be distinguished from other manors~"
Feng thought about it, wiped her eyes and said simply, "Or, let's combine these two manors and call it Xiaoliu Manor!"
Xiaoliu Manor, a substitute for Daliushan Village, Feng Jing and Feng Miao understood their mother's intention and quickly clapped their hands.
"What a good name!"
"Let's call it Xiaoliu Manor!"
Just as everyone was nodding, a kind laugh came from not far away -
"You just bought the manor and you've already thought of a name. You're so quick. Let me, the manor neighbor, hear what a good name you've come up with."
Mrs. Wu wore a headband and a dark brown cloak, followed by two clever girls, and walked towards this side with a smile.
Feng looked back and hurried forward to greet her, asking in surprise, "Why is Mrs. Wu here too? By the way, you just said manor neighbor, did you also buy a manor nearby?"
Mrs. Wu pulled her hand and pointed to the south, "Of course, we just got the deed this morning. My family has never had a manor, but today we bought two at once, just a little south of your house."
"My nerd has a low salary, but the manors in the suburbs of Beijing are extremely expensive. I didn't dare to ask the price before." Mrs. Wu showed a happy look, "Thanks to the intervention of the national teacher, those old worms who occupied the land were punished. They own dozens of manors. Now they are selling them at a low price to keep a low profile. I gritted my teeth and finally got two."
When Xiao Nuobao saw Mrs. Wu, his eyes sparkled, and he stomped his little feet to come over and stretched out his hands to hug her.
"That's great, Mrs. Wu, then we can get together at the manor in the future! Where is Xiao Siming, is he here? Let me see him~"
