Chapter 64 What a huge sum of money!
"That's right, my little white-haired cat is the smartest." The little kid clapped his hands happily.
Everyone was worrying in vain.
Having not been home all night last night, Cai was worried about the food in the house and the valuables buried underground.
Hurry into the house and take a look.
They are all still there.
Heaved a sigh of relief.
No wonder she was worried.
Because they lived in a remote place and in a thatched hut, anyone who wanted to get in could not be stopped even if there was a door. They could just lift the roof and get in.
Fortunately, no one set their sights on them.
Now everyone knows how powerful their little Yuanbao is, and they probably do it for the sake of the little guy. They have the heart but not the courage.
It was windy last night and Cai and her family were not at home. Several bundles of straw on the roof were blown off, leaving several large holes on the roof. Dabao borrowed a ladder and patched up the straw on the roof.
Dabao discussed it with Cai.
"Mother, we have so much money now. If we keep it in our hands, this house is not safe. Do you have any good plans?"
The total amount is more than four hundred taels.
This is a huge sum of money!
Cai said what she was thinking, "Here's what I want to do. I want to buy some land. I don't know how much money an acre costs. I want to buy about 20 acres. With the land, we won't have to worry about food and clothing. When you grow up, I'll give 10 acres to your sister as a dowry, and the rest to you three brothers. I'll give each of you a wife. What do you think?"
A farmer!
The greatest confidence comes from owning land.
As long as there is land, there is at least one bite to eat every year.
You won’t starve to death.
Even if you keep the money in your hands, you can't have children. It might be stolen by someone and you'll lose everything.
After buying the land, they have the deed in their hands. Even if it is stolen, as long as they don't go to the government to transfer the ownership or sign a mortgage, the land will still be theirs.
When Dabao heard about getting married, his face turned red.
"You can buy the land. I can even give it to my sister as a dowry in the future. Let's buy the land first!"
Most of this money was earned by my younger sister.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to give all of it to my sister as her dowry.
Now she is still young, and her family helps her with farming, and it is enough for her to have something to eat.
At least they can rely on themselves to find a wife and so on.
It’s too early to think about these things.
"Okay, then go to the dental clinic in the town and check out the market. It was windy last night and the paper on the windows was blown to pieces. Go buy some paper and buy some delicious food for your sister."
Cai and her family are planning not to go.
Let Dabao go on the trip alone. Dabao is a calm guy and can handle all these things.
Dabao agreed.
When Cai went out to take a look, she saw that little Yuanbao had taken off his cotton pants and cotton shoes and was shivering in the cold wearing only his trousers and socks.
"Yuanbaoer, where are your little cotton pants?"
Little Yuanbao's face turned red from the cold.
Pointing at the dairy goat.
"Mom, this straw shed is drafty. The goats and Little White Hair are cold. I took off my cotton pants and gave them to them."
When Cai saw it, she realized that was exactly what she was talking about!
The two back legs of the sheep were wearing Xiao Yuanbao's new cotton shoes.
The first two sheep's feet were wearing Xiao Yuanbao's new cotton pants.
There is a little puppy in the middle of the pants!
Cai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He quickly picked her up and said, "Take off your clothes and give them to them. You won't be frozen, my baby!"
Sanbao said, "I wouldn't let my sister take off her pants. I said I would take them off, but she wouldn't let me. She said the pants I was wearing were not warm enough..."
Cai felt sad again.
Dabao heard it and stopped as well.
"Mom, let's go to town together. We have some money now. Let's go to town and buy two new cotton-padded clothes. The weather is getting colder."
Cai's eyes were filled with tears, "Hit!"
Now that we have money, it’s not too much for everyone to buy two sets of clothes.
Cai was also heartbroken that the children were killed by the freezing cold.
Cai worked hard to make the coarse cloth and cotton she bought last time, but she only made clothes for Xiao Yuanbao, and had not made clothes for the other children in time.
Now that the weather is getting colder, it’s easier to just go buy it.
After packing up and dressing little Yuanbao, we all went to the town together.
Dabao went to the dental clinic to inquire about buying land.
Wang Tiangou went to the school. He had been on leave at home for a long time and had not been idle. He copied some books, took some notes and sent them to the teacher for examination.
Cai took the children to the clothing store.
This time, Cai was no longer stingy and bought each of the three boys in the family a new set of cotton-padded jackets, trousers and shoes.
I also bought two sets of inner clothes for replacement.
Each person has a hat.
Since Dabao is not around, Cai bought the clothes according to his height, buying bigger ones so that he can wear them for two more years without any problem.
Xiao Yuanbao bought a new dress.
Cai saw that the girls from wealthy families all wore skirts, which were made of more fabric than pants. The girls from poor families in the countryside also mostly wore pants and fewer wore skirts.
It’s all thanks to Xiao Yuanbao that I got rich.
Cai then came up with the idea of dressing up her little girl.
Let little Yuanbao wear a pretty little dress, so beautiful.
Our little babe, wearing a rich satin red flowered dress, looks even more noble than the girls from wealthy families.
Finally, Cai also bought herself a new set of cotton jacket and trousers, a new undershirt, and a pair of new cotton shoes.
It's like Chinese New Year.
No, even the Chinese New Year is not as grand as today.
They came in wearing straw clothes, and when they went out, they were all dressed neatly. Some of the boys usually didn't dress up, but when they dressed up, they all looked good!
Cai was extremely satisfied. Everyone said that Wang Tiangou was a good-looking boy. Hey, the ones in her family were not bad either.
She went to the grocery store and bought an oil lamp. Cai felt embarrassed to use Wang Tiangou's oil lamp every day.
At night, the children also need lights when they get up to go to the toilet.
Bought another Tima lamp.
How could Xiao Yuanbao not buy food when he came to town?
Cai was now very brave and even dared to enter the door of the pastry shop.
I bought a few packs of cakes for the children, including osmanthus cake, brown sugar steamed cake, red date cake, etc.
Dabao came back soon.
Found Cai and her friends in the pastry shop.
"Mother, the land agent said that there are many people selling land these days. A wealthy man just happened to sell 20 mu of land. He asked us if we want to go and take a look. He said that the seller is in a hurry to sell it, and the price is not high. At present, good farmland is 18 taels of silver per mu, ordinary paddy fields are 15 taels of silver per mu, and dry fields are 10 taels of silver per mu. This wealthy man is selling good farmland, and the price is only 16 taels of silver per mu..."
Cai was moved by what she heard.
"Really? Where is it?"
"It's also a field in our Baili Town, not too far from our Tangjia Village. The owner of the pawnbroker said that if we want it, we can go and have a look today. The pawnbroker has a horse-drawn carriage that can take us to see the fields..."
"That's great! How about we go and see the fields today?"
Little Yuanbao was bored, so he clapped his hands and said happily, "Great! Let's go see the fields..."
