Village chief Fu sat on a bench, his hands tucked into his sleeves, watching the show.
This is also a little fun in his boring life every year.
It's a good show to watch almost every few years.
After the show was over, I stood up and stamped my feet, which were a little numb from sitting.
"Okay, now that you've made the deal, we can go to the county government while there's still time to get the paperwork done and change our household registration. Oh, and by the way, are you sure you want that brick house?"
Village Chief Fu looked at the second aunt.
Bai opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was the wife and deserved the best living, but then she thought about her savings, the money her parents gave her, and the travel expenses, leaving her with less than five hundred taels of silver. Back then, this amount wouldn't even be enough to buy a set of jewelry.
If you want to settle down here, you still have to spend frugally.
Miao smiled and narrowed her eyes:
"Yes, yes!"
"Well, does anyone want that other adobe house?"
Bai quickly spoke unnaturally:
"I, I'll keep this room!"
And he said to the others:
"My sisters, please give up your love. I will take this house first. The young master has been spoiled for a long time, and I am afraid he will feel uncomfortable living in someone else's house. My sisters, please wait a little longer. I will build a big and bright house next year."
No one fought over it and everyone nodded.
Village Chief Fu shouted into the house:
"Wealth and strength, wealth and honor will come out."
Two big men came out and said:
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Well, you two go to my room and get the keys to the two empty courtyards, and take them there to identify the place."
And he said to the others:
"Those of you who are renting a house, go to the village first and look around. If you find a house you like, go in and negotiate with them. Gather at the mill in half an hour and I'll take you to the county to handle the paperwork."
Aunt Mao took Xiangye with her and watched everyone leave before she came to the village chief:
"Village Chief Fu, this is my sister. She used to be my maid, but I later released her. She's worried about me and insisted on coming with me. She's not a convict, she's a good citizen. Do you think it's possible to have her settled in our village as well?"
This is a rare thing. A freed slave is willing to travel thousands of miles to such a miserable place. It shows that the master is kind-hearted and the slave is also a kind-hearted person.
It was just a matter of going with the flow. They were all phoenixes in distress. Village Chief Fu would not embarrass them on such a matter and nodded.
"Okay, come along later! It's just a side thing."
"Well, thank you very much. We'll be leaving first."
After leaving the yard, Gu Shengmo held Xiangye tightly and refused to let go.
You know, the person who usually spends the most time with me in the mansion is not my aunt or sister, but Xiangye.
The one who had been with him since birth.
Although we have been traveling together all the way, we didn't dare to say a word. Now that we have the chance, we have been together until now.
Even Aunt Mao couldn't help but feel jealous after watching it!
No one is familiar with the situation in the village, so they can only look at whether the yard is clean and how many people live there.
Almost all the good houses had been rented out, so the few people could only wander around the outskirts of the village.
Finally, we stopped at a dilapidated courtyard, but it was cleaned very neatly. It was a small adobe house with two rooms, which looked quite old.
In the yard, an old woman was carrying branches into the kitchen, which was little more than a shed.
This is not the most ideal yard, but it is the quietest yard.
Aunt Mao leaned on the door, which was only up to her shoulders, and shouted:
"aunt……"
The old woman slowly turned around and looked at them, as if asking what they were doing here.
"Auntie, we have just moved into our village and would like to rent a room from you temporarily. Is that possible?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the old woman's eyes, because no one had ever been willing to rent her shabby yard.
"Come in!"
After saying that, the old woman patted the dirt off her hands and body and walked towards a house.
He opened the door and went in. Seeing a few people following him in, he pointed towards the house.
"I'm the only elderly widower here. I have two rooms. I live in one and this room is empty. If you don't mind being crowded, you can stay here!"
The room was only about ten square meters in size. Apart from the bed, which took up one-third of the room, there was nothing else inside.
The bed was just a few bricks on a wooden plank. There was nothing on it. Fortunately, the room was clean.
Although the window paper was worn and patched with some invisible patches, there was not a speck of dust.
