After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 83 Homestead, Yearning
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Wu Yuanan comforted him, "Uncle Lin, it's okay. Give me your household registration and I'll have someone register you there. I'll also have someone take you to Lanshan Village. I'll have my men greet the village chief there."
Wu Yuanan wanted to keep them for dinner, but Lin An refused. They had to settle down quickly.
Wu Yuanan understood what he meant, and called a bailiff in, asking the bailiff to take Lin An and his daughter to sort out their household registration, and then take them to Lanshan Village.
Quarter of an hour later, Lin An and his daughter followed a yamen runner out of the county government office, and the three of them went straight to the inn.
"Sir, please wait in the lobby for a moment." Lin An said politely to the bailiff.
Gao Daquan waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't be polite, Mr. Lin, please go upstairs and pack your things, there's no rush." This Lin An was specially taken care of by the county magistrate. He would not dare to complain even if he had to wait in the lobby or on the roadside.
"It's done. We'll all settle down in Lanshan Village. Let's pack our things quickly. The yamen runner is waiting downstairs. He will take us to Lanshan Village."
Lin An's excitement, which had been suppressed for a while, finally showed up. When he got his new household registration, he felt at peace.
Everyone was filled with joy and hurried to pack up. Soon they came downstairs carrying large and small bags. After checking out, they got on a carriage and headed towards Lanshan Village.
In less than half an hour, everyone arrived at the entrance of Lanshan Village. Lanshan Village was very large. Looking around, there were large tracts of farmland on both sides of the road leading into the village.
Going further and crossing a stone bridge, you will arrive at the village. Hundreds of houses are scattered around in an orderly manner, and a small river runs around the village.
When the little children in the village saw a stranger entering the village, including a soldier, they hurried home.
The villagers who heard the noise walked out of their homes and came to the open space beside the stone bridge, looking at Lin An and his group curiously.
When the village chief Wang Youzhi heard the news, he hurried over.
"Sir, I am the head of Lanshan Village. May I ask who this is?"
Gao Daquan took out a document from his pocket and said, "Village Chief Wang Youzhi, this is a document written by an adult, asking you to settle Lin An and his group who fled from Anqing Prefecture."
Wang Youzhi took the document and looked at Lin An and the others with some surprise. After fleeing from such a far distance, these people looked more rosy-faced and energetic than the locals.
Looking at the horse-drawn carriages, mule-drawn carts and ox-drawn carts behind them, he was even more surprised. This group of people should not be underestimated.
At this time, Lin An walked forward with a smile on his face and said, "Village chief, my name is Lin An. Thank you for your concern for our group of people." Then he handed him the household registration.
Wang Youzhi took it and checked it carefully, and returned it to him after confirming that it was correct.
Seeing that it was getting late, Gao Daquan said goodbye to Lin An and left.
Wang Youzhi was surprised to see that the official was so polite to Lin An, but then he restrained his expression and looked at everyone in a gentle tone.
"There is no residential land in the center of the village now. If you want to build a house, you can only go to the riverside or the foot of the mountain. Come on, I'll take you to have a look."
He first took everyone to the riverside. The open space by the river was about an acre in size. Lin Shuyue shook her head, not very satisfied, but it seemed that Grandma Xiuyin should like this place very much. Then Wang Youzhi took them to the foot of the mountain.
The open space at the foot of the mountain is relatively large, about three or four acres in size. Behind the open space is a bamboo forest. Walking a few hundred meters to the right is the path leading up the mountain. The villagers usually take that path to go up the mountain.
The river that surrounds the village is on the far right of the open space, but the terrain of the open space is much higher than the river bank.
"Dad, let's choose this place." Lin Shuyue said excitedly.
Seeing that his wife and two sons had no objection, Lin An nodded in agreement. He then looked at Lin Gang's family and Erlangzi, asking what they thought.
Lin Gang was a little hesitant. His mother and wife both liked the land by the river, but he also wanted to live closer to Lin An.
Erlangzi directly said that he chose the vacant space by the river. He knew that Lin An's family liked quietness, so he would not join in the fun.
Finally, after discussing with his family, Lin Gang decided to choose the vacant land by the river.
"Okay, homesteads are cheaper than farmland, only one tael of silver per mu. If it's farmland, dry land is three taels of silver per mu, and paddy fields are five taels of silver per mu. When you're sure, come find me in the village."
"By the way, you can ask the villagers to build a house, but you have to do it as soon as possible. Now is not the time for spring plowing, and everyone has time. You can build a shed to live in for a few days."
Wang Youzhi explained everything carefully and left.
Lin An and others looked at the bare land, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Dad, let's buy two acres of land and build a big house. We can also build a martial arts arena inside."
Lin An and his companions were instantly moved when they heard Lin Shuyue's words. This way, they wouldn't have to go to the mountains to practice martial arts every day.
"Dad, please ask the village chief if we can buy the flat land and the puddle in front of the open space. If possible, buy them together."
Following the direction she pointed, they looked and saw a flat land in front of them on the right, about one and a half acres in size, with a puddle in the middle.
They were a little confused and didn't understand why they wanted to buy that land.
Lin Shuyue explained to her family in detail: "I was thinking about whether I could hire someone to dig the puddle bigger and deeper to make it a pond.
At that time, you can plant some lotus roots in the pond, put some fish and shrimp in it, and build a pavilion next to it. You can then enjoy the lotus flowers and send the fish, shrimp and lotus roots in the pond to the county town to sell.
The open space around the pond can be used to plant some fruit trees, and the land next to the river can be cultivated into a vegetable garden."
As they listened to her description, a picture of a peaceful and tranquil life emerged in their minds.
In the hot summer, the family enjoys the lotus flowers, fishing and shrimping in the pavilion; in the autumn, the fruits are fragrant in the orchard. Just thinking about this scene is so wonderful that several people immediately raised their hands in agreement.
On the other hand, Zhao Xiuyin's family chose to buy a residential plot of five cents. They were short of money and had to save some to buy the land.
As for Erlangzi, he is alone and only needs to build a small yard. The remaining money can buy an acre of land.
After confirming, Lin An took Lin Gang and Erlangzi to find a village to buy a residential plot, and asked the village chief to help find someone to build the house.
The rest of the people stayed where they were, clearing the rubble from the ground.
It was almost dark when Lin An and the other two came back. Li and Zhao Xiuyin had also cooked dinner. The first meal they had after arriving in Lanshan Village was dry rice with bacon.
After finishing the meal, Lin An excitedly took out a note and said, "We have bought them all. I asked the village chief to give us everything from the homestead to the edge of the vacant land.
The pit is located in an open space, which is six mu in total. I spent six taels of silver. Tomorrow I will take the approval slip to the county government office to buy the land.
