Chapter 403 Jiang Zhuzi Buys Land

"Kang'er, when you grow up, you must be filial to your grandparents, understand? They have been so good to you, you must take care of them in their old age."

Jiang Zhuzi had a heavy nasal tone when he spoke. He lowered his head, looked into his son's eyes, and spoke seriously.

"Yeah!" Jiang Kang nodded, not quite understanding.

Jiang Zhuzi then raised his head, held his son's hand, and continued walking forward.

The snow was quite thick, and the father and son stepped on the snow, making a "crunching" sound.

When I got home, it was only afternoon.

There was still some time before dark, so there was nothing to do.

Jiang Zhuzi asked his son to stay at home while he went to the mountains. When he came down from the mountain in the evening, he held a motionless rabbit in his hand.

Already dead.

But it's still warm.

He went home again, brought back half a basket of dried mushrooms and two taels of silver given by his stepfather, and went to Jiang Fubao's house.

"Patriarch, are you home?"

It was already half dark.

At this point, almost every household in the village has finished their meal.

I didn't see any smoke coming out of any chimney.

Although the Jiang family's door was open, Jiang Zhuzi still knocked on the door.

Didn't go in directly.

"Who? Oh, it's Zhuzi? What do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Shoujia opened the door of the main room a little wider, and he stuck his head out, but his body remained in the main room.

It's just too cold outside.

He was too lazy to move.

"Uncle, I have something to talk to you about." Jiang Zhuzi smiled innocently. He walked into the yard and put the bamboo basket on his arm and the rabbit he was holding on the stool in the yard.

"Okay, come in and talk. It's cold outside. Come in and warm yourself by the fire."

Jiang Shoujia opened the door to the main hall and waved to Jiang Zhuzi.

After Jiang Zhuzi came in, he closed the door again, but left a gap two fingers wide.

In the main room, the Jiang family members all sat here to keep warm.

Jiang Fubao plays bamboo card games with his brothers and sisters.

The adults were discussing how to run the shop after the holiday and what to buy.

When Jiang Zhuzi came in, everyone except the children turned their eyes to him.

After looking for two seconds, he turned his head and continued chatting.

"Come, sit down." Jiang Shoujia brought a stool, placed it beside him, and patted the stool, motioning Jiang Zhuzi to sit over.

"Uncle, here are two taels of silver. I want to buy an acre of land in the village. I wanted to go to the next door, but I saw that your door was open, so I came to you. I wonder if there is any vacant land in the village?"

Jiang Tieniu is in charge of the village.

It is also possible to buy land from him.

But it still has to go through Jiang Shoujia. Even if Jiang Tieniu agreed, Jiang Shoujia would refuse.

He can't buy it either.

So, Jiang Zhuzi simply came directly to Jiang Shou's house.

He knew that after crossing the bridge, on the south side, there were another five acres of land, but he did not say it explicitly, but asked Jiang Shoujia instead.

If the patriarch says no, it means that the patriarch will not sell the land to him.

While waiting for a reply, Jiang Zhuzi's heart was beating fast.

"Yes, but for two taels of silver, you can only buy one acre of second-class land."

Although Jiang Zhuzi has an average relationship with his family, there are no major conflicts. Jiang Shoujia is too lazy to argue with the younger generation.

Jiang Zhuzi's wife ran away, everyone in the village knew it.

Jiang Shoujia felt sorry for Jiang Kang and simply gave him a half-ounce discount.

Prepare to sell an acre of second-class land to Jiang Zhuzi.

Anyway, these lands cannot be sold.

Every household in the village has enough land to plant crops.

"No, no, uncle, I know. Even at the cheapest, second-class farmland costs two and a half taels. If you find a good location, it will cost at least three taels. I'll just buy one acre of third-class farmland."

Jiang Zhuzi looked flattered and surprised.

He refused again and again, his face turning red with shame.

The clan leader is such a nice person, why did he think so hard and go against the Jiang family? No wonder mother pulled him aside and said those words to him yesterday.

"Okay, it's settled. There's no third-rate land in the village that can be sold to you. It's not easy for you to take care of a child. Raise him well in the future, and life will get better slowly."

Jiang Shoujia waved his hand, and the matter was settled.

When Jiang Zhuzi left, Zhang Jinlan picked up the rabbit on the stool and put it back into his hand.

"My family has no shortage of meat, but your Kang'er is really thin. Let him eat some meat to replenish his body. Children must eat more meat when they are young so that they can grow up healthy. You only have one son, so you must treat him well, understand? It doesn't matter if your wife runs away, as long as your son is still here.

Work hard in the future and don't do those stupid things again, understand? I'll take these mushrooms, and I won't be polite to you. Go ahead, it's getting dark, take the children to bed early, and wait until after the New Year, then you can get busy with the land."

Now that things have come to this, Jiang Zhuzi had no choice but to accept it.

Jiang Fubao, who came out to pee, heard this.

I was stunned on the spot.

In fact, eating rabbit meat will not make you fat.

The more you eat this, the thinner you become.

However, no one would believe her if she told her about it. Besides, it was just one and she wouldn't lose much weight after eating it, so she simply kept silent.

It was very cold outside, and her little face was roasted red by the charcoal stove in the house.

After peeing, she washed a few fingers and quickly returned to the main room.

On the other side, Jiang Zhuzi returned home and saw his son sitting obediently on the bed in a daze.

There was no oil lamp in the room, so I couldn't see my son's face clearly.

Only with the faint moonlight can I see his small figure.

"Kang'er, are you hungry? Dad will heat up some food for you. After you finish eating, we can take a shower and go to bed."

He and his son have been busy catching rabbits this afternoon, so they haven't had dinner yet.

"No, eat." Jiang Kang shook his head.

He ate too much at noon, so his little stomach wasn't hungry at all.

"Okay, then Dad will go boil some water and wash your feet later." While Jiang Zhuzi was waiting for the water to heat up, he skinned the rabbit, gave it some simple processing, and hung it outside.

After that, the water was boiled.

After washing my son's feet, I slept in the same bed.

"Dad, Dad, I want to play with Meimei tomorrow." Just as Jiang Zhuzi closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep.

Jiang Kang suddenly said something.

"Meimei? Who is Meimei?" He looked confused.

"Beautiful, beautiful, sister, sister, okay, look, give, me, meat, meat, and, rice." Jiang Kang couldn't utter more than two words, so he could only explain to his father word by word.

"Is there anyone named Meimei in our village?" Jiang Zhuzi was still confused.

"Well, beautiful, beautiful, good to look at." When Jiang Fubao was mentioned, Jiang Kang's eyes flickered in the dark room.

"You kid, you are just like your father, you like pretty girls. But, let me warn you, pretty girls are not trustworthy. Be careful not to end up like your father. You can have fun with them, but don't mess around. Stay away from girls."

After saying this, Jiang Zhuzi finally realized that today was the first day of the new year and his son was only four years old.
