Chapter 123 Buying Mountains
The little girl was fed two big chicken legs and a small bowl of chicken soup, and her little belly was bulging.
Looking at the cute baby with rosy cheeks, the Ye family held her and played with her for a long time.
It was already noon and everyone was going out to do their own things.
"Xiao Jiu'er, stay home and don't run around!"
"Yeah!" The little dumpling nodded obediently.
"I'll come back early this afternoon to play with you, okay?"
“Okay!”
Everyone kissed her little face and went out one after another.
Little Tuanzi watched them leave and returned to their warm and familiar home. It felt so comfortable!
As soon as I felt comfortable, I started to feel sleepy.
"Xiao Jiuer, take a bath before going to bed!"
Yunniang looked at the little chicken pecking at the rice and hurriedly prepared to wash her hair and give her a bath.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, she carried the little girl directly to the bed.
"Anang, I'm sleepy!" The little dumpling rubbed his eyes and muttered.
Yunniang patted her gently, "Go to sleep quickly, mother is here with you!"
"Okay."
Xiaojiu fell into a deep sleep with a satisfied smile on his little face.
When I woke up again, it was already dusk.
The setting sun shone obliquely through the window lattice onto the wall. The sound of pots and pans came from the kitchen, and two small footsteps came closer and closer.
"Sister! Brother is back!" It was the voice of Xiaowen and Xiaowu.
"Shh, be quiet, my sister is sleeping!" Yunniang whispered.
Two small footsteps approached gently.
Xiaojiu closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. When they walked to the bed, he suddenly let out a "wow", which scared the two of them.
Xiao Wu fell flat on his back.
The little dumpling rolled around on the bed giggling with joy.
"Sister, wait!"
The two little ones came up to tickle her.
The three of them laughed and made a noise.
"What are you so happy about?" Ye Yanping walked in. "Are you three hungry? Why don't you go eat with daddy?"
"Okay, give me a hug!" The little dumpling opened his little hands.
"Okay!"
Ye Yanping placed the little boy on his neck and suddenly remembered something. He looked at Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu and said, "Do you want your daddy to hug you?"
"Yes! Yes!" Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu were very happy.
Ye Yanping opened his big hand and lifted them up by their collars.
Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu: “…”
If I had known it was this kind of hug, I would have preferred not to hug...
Yunniang made braised chicken with potatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes, salt and pepper potato slices, and potato omelets tonight.
Ever since Xiaojiu took out potatoes and asked Yunniang to cook, the Ye family has become uncontrollable in their love for potatoes.
"These potatoes are really good, they're delicious and filling." Ye Yanping shoveled rice into his mouth, "I never get tired of eating them every time."
"Yuniang is a good cook. She can make so many different variations of one dish." Luo Qiuyue said.
"I think my sister-in-law's cooking skills are enough to open a restaurant." Ye Yan'an said, "It's a pity that our family is not in town, otherwise if we opened a small restaurant, the business would definitely be booming!"
fire?
Little Tuanzi suddenly remembered something very important and put down the bowl with a click.
"Xiao Jiuer, why don't you eat anymore?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it!" The little girl blinked her big watery eyes.
"Really? Little Jiuer has something to say to everyone?" Everyone immediately became interested. "What does Little Jiuer want to say?"
"Buy some mountains!" Little Dumpling sat at the table like a little boss, giving orders.
"Buy... Shanshan?"
The Ye family understood, but also didn’t understand.
"Yeah!" Little Dumpling's face was serious.
The Ye family knew that Xiaojiu never spoke without thinking, so they immediately gave up their jobs.
"Xiao Jiuer, why did we buy Shanshan?"
"Shanshan... there's something good!"
"Is there something good? Could it be a gold mine?" Ye Yan'an suddenly stood up.
"Uh..." Little Dumpling looked at his uncle speechlessly, "No!"
"Which mountain does Xiao Jiuer want to buy?" Ye Buwei asked.
"It's spicy!" Little Dumpling pulled Ye Buwei's hand, "It's so spicy!"
Ye Buwei pondered and said, "Xiaojiu, are you talking about the mountain leading to Black Eagle Village?"
"Tie, tie, tie!" The little dumpling clapped his hands.
"Xiaojiu must have a reason for asking us to buy it," Ye Yanping said, "but all our money has been used to build the house, so where would we get the extra money to buy a mountain?"
"Dude, you stupid guy!" Little Dumpling pointed at the wooden barrel filled with grain, "Use this to buy it!"
"What do you mean by using grain to buy a mountain?" Ye Yanping suddenly realized, "Even if you have silver now, you may not be able to buy grain. But using grain to buy a mountain is really possible!"
As he was speaking, someone called out from outside the door, "Are Xiaowen and Xiaowu home?"
Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu suddenly looked hopeless: "The Master is here again!"
I don’t know what’s wrong with the teacher recently. He keeps running to the Ye family whenever he has time, saying that he is there to guide them in their studies.
The key is that they behave very well in school every day. Logically speaking, Big Nose Iron Head Thin Dog and others are the ones who really need the teacher's guidance.
"You two are so lucky." Ye Yanping pulled Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu out. "Master Zhao always comes to give you special treatment. If someone didn't know, they would think we have some treasure."
In the main room, Zhao Xingjian was teaching two children how to write.
Ye Buwei walked in and said, "Master, there is something I want to discuss with you."
Zhao Xingjian's face lit up with joy, but he suppressed his excitement and said, "You go ahead."
“I want to buy a mountain.”
Zhao Xingjian was not surprised. Considering the status of the man in front of him, buying a mountain was nothing.
"If you want to buy the mountain, I can help. The county magistrate and I have a good relationship, so just leave it to me."
"I only have food, and this mountain can only be exchanged for food." Ye Buwei said slowly.
"Okay." Zhao Xingjian agreed immediately, "I'll go to the county government office tomorrow and take care of this matter."
The next afternoon, Zhao Xingjian returned in a hurry.
"The previous county magistrate was trampled to death by refugees. The new county magistrate hasn't arrived yet, so all affairs are being handled by the county magistrate. He agreed as soon as I asked him to buy the mountain with grain. He couldn't ask for more."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Ye Buwei said.
Zhao Xingjian said respectfully, "The county government has sent someone over. Which mountain do you like? We'll take them there right away and complete the formalities as soon as possible."
Ye Buwei said: "You have been there, it is the mountain that Xiaojiu marked."
"Black Eagle Village?!" Zhao Xingjian was shocked. "Is it the mountain that was struck by lightning twice that night?"
"Yes." Ye Buwei said calmly, "I'm not very mobile, so I'll leave this matter to you. How about that?"
Zhao Xingjian wiped his sweat, "Alright. But the Black Eagle Village has always been at odds with the county government. Today, the officials are going up the mountain to survey the area. I wonder if they will take this opportunity to cause trouble."
"That's all right." A faint smile appeared on Ye Buwei's lips. "You just need to say that this mountain was bought by Xiaojiu from Heihe Village, and they will back off."
