"It's great that we can sell our food without going to town. If the Lin family wants to do business, we'll have somewhere to sell our vegetables."
Everyone kept asking questions to the aunt who had exchanged the coins for copper coins.
After receiving the confirmed news, several women didn't even bother to watch the fun and hurriedly ran home, fearing that they would miss Lin Wu.
Lin Mo followed the village chief to measure the land and had no time to care about anything else. Even if he knew what the villagers said, he just smiled and passed it off.
His mind is now filled with the thought that these three acres of land will soon be his. After laying the foundation, he will start looking for someone to build a house. Once the house is built, he can marry Su Mu!
"Sanlang, how many people do you plan to accommodate in the house you are building? I will arrange it for you when I get back." The village chief asked while measuring.
"I want to do it quickly. The two rooms at home are really not enough to live in. Uncle Liu, please arrange for five quick and efficient people to come and build and repair the adobe house first.
It will take a few days to build the new house. I'll go find someone to prepare the materials and then notify everyone." With so many people in the village, it was hard for Lin Mo to talk to anyone, so he simply handed it all over to the village chief.
"Don't worry about that. I will definitely find good people for you, and I will definitely eliminate those who are sneaky and don't know what's good for them." Liu Da promised sternly.
The daily wage of thirty cents is equivalent to a day and a half's wages in town, and the most important thing is that a meal is included. Liu Da didn't dare to just hire anyone for such a good job.
Lin Sanlang wanted to repay those people in the village who had helped his family. It was not easy for him, a kid, to pick people, and as an elder and the village chief, it was his responsibility to screen them.
After measuring the land, Lin Mo respectfully sent the village chief back. After the transfer of ownership tomorrow, the land would be his.
After working hard all morning, he finally arranged the land purchase. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was still scorching. He didn't know what time it was and could only guess that it was one or two o'clock in the afternoon.
After hurriedly returning home, Lin Mo saw the two people still diligently copying and memorizing their lessons. He smiled knowingly, washed some of the fruit he had bought for them, and said, "Combining work and rest. Take a break before writing again, otherwise you will damage your eyes. I'll go make dinner for you."
The weather is still quite hot now, so he didn't buy much meat yesterday. He ate a lot last night, so he cut up the remaining meat and prepared to stir-fry it.
"Brother, you're back?"
Hearing the sound, Lin Mo looked back and saw Lin Sheng panting, wiping the sweat off his face while adjusting his clothes. "Don't run so fast. It's so hot. Take your time."
Lin Sheng nodded embarrassedly. He hadn't recovered from the thirty taels yesterday and was still feeling a little high.
It would take an ordinary person several years to save up these thirty taels without eating or drinking. Now that he has it, he feels like he is dreaming.
"I found five aunts I know in the village and asked them to come over tomorrow. You can arrange what we need to do then."
Lin Mo nodded and said softly, "Don't worry, big brother. You should have a good rest first. There is no rush to open a shop. We still have a lot of things to prepare.
The village chief will bring people over later to help build the house. We will provide them with a meal. You also need to arrange for someone to help cook.
Tomorrow I will take Mumu to the county to cancel her slave status and transfer the newly purchased land to her."
Lin Sheng nodded. Even though Lin Mo had told him all this last night, he was still a little dazed. They had bought the land and were going to build a new house just overnight.
"Okay, go ahead and don't worry. I'll take care of the family. I heard the doctors in the county are better. You can take Mu Ge'er with you to see them."
Lin Mo nodded. Lin Sheng's care for Su Mu made him feel warmed. It was best if the person he liked could be valued by his family.
There was only one table in the house, so Lin Mo had to move the table out, set the table, and help Su Mu eat outside.
It was just simple stir-fried rice, but it was considered a luxury for Lin Sheng and his friends, so everyone ate it all up.
After eating and drinking, Lin Sheng cleared the dishes, and Lin Mo began to tinker with the design of his new house. While making revisions, he asked Su Mu for his opinion and explained the meaning of the design to him.
Su Mu kept looking at Lin Mo, as if he could never look enough. He felt it was unreal and wanted to ask Lin Mo several times why she chose him.
There are so many good girls and good boys in the village, why did you choose him who has the worst appearance and reputation? But every time the words come to my lips, I don’t know how to start...
"Lin Mo...thank you."
Hearing the tenderness in Su Mu's tone, Lin Mo felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He leaned over and took Su Mu into his arms without hesitation, saying in a low voice, "Be good... let me hold you for a while."
Su Mu's face flushed red, but he obediently let Lin Mo hold him. However, the sound of Lin Sheng and Lin Wu talking outside the door made his heart beat faster and his whole body was hot.
"Don't say thank you anymore. This is the last time, Mu Mu. Meeting you is my greatest blessing. You are the best to me."
Lin Mo smiled slightly where Su Mu couldn't see. He held the little person in his arms with affection and greed, and was reluctant to let go for a while.
But it was not appropriate to hold him for too long in broad daylight, so as not to make Su Mu even more uncomfortable, so she had to let him go reluctantly.
"Okay." Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief, his face red as he looked at Lin Mo woodenly. Lin Mo also looked at him affectionately, and his originally relaxed heart became tense again.
His cheeks were slightly hot, and he was always a little afraid to look directly into Lin Mo's eyes. The heart in his chest seemed to be out of control, beating wildly. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Lin Mo was very happy to see the changes in Su Mu. How could his Mu Mu be so cute and so innocent? He really liked to see him blushing and pretending to be nothing happened.
"I'll wait for Wu to come back tonight and ask everyone for their other ideas about the house. A house is meant to be lived in for a lifetime, so if we're going to build it, we've got to build the best."
Lin Mo continued to look through the drawings. Since there were no skyscrapers, steel and concrete like in his previous life, he decided to build something closer to modern ones.
Lin Mo was very careful about the house. He wanted to build a four-courtyard, two-story building, with blue bricks as the main material, which is similar to modern buildings.
He designed a yard and a wall at the back, and planned to build a pond and pave pebbles in the front. He didn't intend to waste the three acres of land.
In the afternoon, Lin Wu pulled several carts of mustard greens to the door. Because the village had harvested a lot of vegetables, he borrowed ox carts from several households in the village.
