Chapter 274 Shen Muyang Dislikes Ning Bao
When registering their household registrations, Shen Junshan's family, Liu Qingru's maternal family, and Mu Youcai's family, who had separated from their family on the way, were all registered separately.
Nowadays, people have separate household registrations, so houses must be built separately.
Qingyun Town is a sparsely populated area with a very spacious foundation.
Even if the land is spacious, the foundation cannot be used for free.
The price here is quite reasonable, only 500 coins per mu (unit of land area). For a small family, half a mu of land is enough.
However, the villagers all prefer a larger yard so that they can grow vegetables and raise chickens in the front and back yards.
Ningbao waved her little hand,
"Uncle Jiang, my family wants ten mu. We'll start measuring from Aunt Gu's estate and measure as far as we can."
My two uncles each own two acres of land, and they have quite a few children, so their living space is too small.
Grandpa Jiang, you should also come with two mu of land…
Lin Dajiang was immediately stunned when he heard that Ning Bao wanted ten acres of land.
“Ningbao, the foundation will cost money, and the house doesn’t need to be built in a very large area.”
"If you want to farm, have your dad go and clear some wasteland; wasteland is cheap."
Ning Bao shook her head.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Jiang, I just want ten acres of land."
My family has many older brothers. When they get married, we'll need to build many houses. And when they have nephews, we'll need to build many more houses. By then, the place will be too small to accommodate everyone.
Moreover, Ningbao will need to earn money in the future, and that money will definitely be used to buy things, and she might even need to build houses to earn money. In short, Ningbao will be building many houses in the future…”
Lin Dajiang knew that what Ning Bao said was basically useful in her family.
However, building a house on a foundation is a big deal. Anyway, there's no time to measure the foundation today. Liu, the yamen runner, will bring people over tomorrow to measure the foundation.
Lin Dajiang directly instructed Ning Bao,
"Okay, our Ningbao will be a rich baby who earns lots of money and builds lots of houses."
"But buying land is a big deal. Go back and discuss it with your family. We'll talk about the specifics when your father comes to the village meeting tomorrow."
Although Huang Jinshan is now the village chief, Shanglin Village has already tacitly recognized Lin Dajiang as the clan chief.
Regardless of whether everyone's surname is Lin or not, Lin Dajiang will be their clan leader from now on.
The matter of drawing the foundation for the land in Shanglin Village was handled by officials from the government, so it basically did not require Huang Jinshan's consent.
Lin Dajiang's job is simply to arrange the locations for each family.
It was getting late, and the sky was already dark. Both adults and children were very excited and curious about their future home.
But after a busy day, the women had already started preparing dinner, and the children had all been called back home.
Everyone from Shanglin Village moved into Gu Yunrou's manor.
Listening to the sounds of women calling their children and children playing happily coming from the manor, Gu Yunrou, who was staying in the main house, couldn't help but smile contentedly and said to Gu Mama beside her,
"That's great! A house needs to be lively."
I'm increasingly disliking living in the houses of wealthy families, where there are courtyards next to courtyards and high walls everywhere.
There are only a few masters in the house, but they insist on having one living in the south and one in the north.
Look how good it is for ordinary villagers. Each family has only a few rooms, all in one courtyard, and they can see each other every day.
This way, everyone's feelings weren't so cold.
After Ning Bao returned from outside, she pulled Shen Muyang into Shen Muyang's courtyard.
Shen Muyang has a small study, where Ning Bao is currently sitting at the desk writing a letter with her small calligraphy brush.
Yes, that's right, Ning Bao is writing a letter.
Shen Muyang leaned closer and saw that several black lumps had appeared on the once clean Xuan paper, and the contents of the paper could be vaguely made out.
"Senior Brother, Ning Bao has a family now."
Then, a chubby girl was drawn in the background, and Ningbao wanted to tell her senior brother that she was very happy.
Ningbao then wrote another sentence.
"Senior Brother, can you come see Ningbao?"
Ningbao originally wanted to explain the illnesses of her grandfather and Shen Muyang before formally requesting him to make a house call.
Unfortunately, there were too many characters, and Ningbao didn't know how to write many of them, so we simply omitted them and invited the eldest brother to our house. We could ask him to treat the illness after he arrived.
Anyway, none of the rules her senior brother followed when treating others applied to her.
Looking at the letter Ning Bao had written, Shen Muyang frowned in disdain.
"Ningbao, you've finished writing it already? Or should I write it for you?"
Ning Bao shook his head seriously.
"No need, Brother Muyang. My senior brother loves my calligraphy the most."
Shen Muyang: Ning Bao, this senior brother, has rather unique tastes!
