When Ji Chunshan came home, Ye Qinglan was crouching at the table and seriously drawing something, but he didn't notice that he had entered the room.

He didn't make a sound, walked to the table lightly, looked down, and saw Ye Qinglan's few strokes, and a small and exquisite butterfly appeared, standing lightly on a cluster of blooming and luxuriant begonias. flower.

Ye Qinglan was about to put down her brush and start coloring when she finished drawing a picture of Butterfly Love Begonia. When she looked up, she noticed Ji Chunshan who had been standing beside her for an unknown amount of time. She asked in surprise, "When did you come back? Why didn't you call me?"

"I just came back and saw that you were serious about painting, so I was afraid to disturb you." Ji Chunshan smiled and asked, "What are you painting?"

Ye Qinglan said quickly: "The embroidered pattern drawn for Yan'er, she accidentally got Sister-in-law Zhao's embroidered pattern wet, and she was too afraid to go home. I think the embroidered pattern is soaked in water, but part of it can still be seen clearly. , so I wanted to draw a more important one." He said, pointing to the table.

Ji Chunshan looked along, only to find that there was indeed a piece of paper with a lot of color on it, and only half of a crabapple flower and a butterfly wing could be seen.

Comparing the original drawing with Ye Qinglan's line drawing, although compared with the original drawing, Ye Qinglan's drawing of flowers and butterflies is the same size, the positions where the petals overlap, and the patterns of butterfly wings are also exactly the same, but Ji Chunshan is I feel that Ye Qinglan's uncolored flowers are more delicate, and the butterfly is more light.

Ye Qinglan put down the brush, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Ji Chunshan, and asked, "Is everything going well today?"

"Thank you," Ji Chunshan took the teacup, and said, "Naturally, it went smoothly. It was the same as what we discussed at home yesterday. At first, Li Ergou really thought that we sent him a child. The village head of Lijia Village has a brain and knows We came here in a bad manner, and wanted to use the name of the village chief to protect Li Ergou, and we used the two villages to talk about things, but Uncle Feng took it back in a lukewarm way."

"Later, as soon as the pleading paper you wrote came out, they couldn't say anything. Li Ergou snatched the pleading paper, and Jin Feng got into a fight with him as soon as he was in a hurry. Fortunately, Uncle Feng was prepared and copied it. I ordered several..."

Ye Qinglan frowned as soon as she heard the fight started, and asked, "Did you start? Are you injured?" Then she looked at Ji Chunshan.

There are only six of Ji Chunshan and the others, and there are three who can't fight. If they fight with Li Ergou, then the people in Lijia Village must help the people in their own village. No matter how powerful Ji Chunshan and the three are, they are hard to beat. Four hands, where can I get a good deal.

Ji Chunshan felt warm and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry, I didn't do anything, but Jin Feng and Li Ergou pushed and shoved twice, and was quickly pulled away by Brother Feng..."

"That's good." Ye Qinglan nodded and eased her brows.

Ji Chunshan raised his head and drank the water in the teacup in one gulp, and swallowed the sentence "I'm not afraid to fight, I have a hatchet with me".

After drinking a cup, he was still a little thirsty, but the teapot had bottomed out, so Ji Chunshan turned around and went to the stove to pick up the iron pot to pour water, before he finished pouring, Ye Qinglan heard "Huh".

Ji Chunshan looked back, but Ye Qinglan had already walked to his side, reaching out to his lower back.

"What's the matter?" Ji Chunshan put down the iron pot, not daring to move, only turning his head to look back.

"You don't even know if your clothes are torn?" It turned out that when Ji Chunshan turned around, Ye Qinglan saw that his lower back was in the wrong position. When he walked in, he saw a finger-length cut.

Although Ji Chunshan couldn't see it, he felt it out when he stretched out his hand, guessing in his heart that it must have been scratched when he drew a hatchet in Lijia Village, but he said: "Maybe it was accidentally scratched somewhere, If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed."

"Take it off, and I'll mend it for you." Ye Qinglan said, then turned around and went to the needlework basket to find cotton threads and needles of the same color as Ji Chunshan's coat.

"No, I'll do it myself." Ji Chunshan said casually, taking off his coat.I used to work alone, I worked hard and saved in the early days, and I was reluctant to throw away the torn clothes, so I sewed them by myself, but I am very proficient.

"Can't I do this little thing?" Ye Qinglan held needle and thread and was rejected, her tone was a little disappointed, and she said: "I didn't know how to needle and thread before, but I learned it from my mother-in-law later, and I didn't learn it very well. You If you don't like it, then that's all." Saying that, he threw the needle and thread back into the basket.

Ji Chunshan didn't expect that Ye Qinglan would be offended by his casual words, and hurriedly said, "How can I? I just don't want to trouble you."

Seeing that Ye Qinglan didn't speak and didn't even look at himself, Ji Chunshan immediately frowned in distress, and finally said, "Thank you for your hard work." Then he put the clothes beside Ye Qinglan.

Seeing that Ye Qinglan still didn't speak, but also reached out to pick up the clothes, put on the needle and thread and began to sew seriously, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shanzi, are you home?" At this moment, the village chief Feng Deli's voice came from outside the house.

Ji Chunshan hurriedly went out to meet him.

"Uncle Feng, please come in." Ji Chunshan went out to take a look, but saw that Feng Deli was carrying a lot of things in his hands, including meat, wine, cloth and other things.

Feng Deli entered the room, Ye Qinglan also temporarily stopped sewing, asked Feng Deli to sit down, and poured tea again.

Feng Deli put all the things in his hand on the table, and then said: "Jin Feng and his sister are going to make a table at home at noon, as a token of gratitude, let's accompany them on this trip today, I guess you probably won't go, then I pushed you, so they prepared some good wine and meat separately, and I brought them here for you. Besides, there are some fabrics, tea leaves, snacks and other things. Although they are nothing, they can be produced by the Jin family. The best thing for me is for Brother Lan."

"Uncle Feng, this..."

As soon as Ye Qinglan was about to speak, Feng Deli knew what he was going to say, and interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said: "I didn't tell them that you came up with the idea, I just said that I asked it from a very knowledgeable person. It was also written with the help of that person, and he said that this matter was just done casually by that person, and he was withdrawn by nature, so it's better not to come and disturb him. It's just that the Jin family siblings are not ungrateful people, since they have received favors from others, they naturally have something In return, I prepared a gift, asked me to thank you and forward it, and I will send it to you right now."

So that's the case, it's okay, Ye Qinglan nodded, and said with a smile: "It's just that Uncle Feng made a trip."

"It's okay, I happen to have something to talk to you about." Feng Deli said.

After all, before Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan could ask anything, Feng Deli asked Ji Chunshan: "Shanzi, do you still remember your former neighbor Wu Laoshuan?"

Wu Laoshuan?Ji Chunshan flipped through the memories left by the original body.Since they are neighbors, of course there are, but they still have some unusual 'friendship', so they smiled: "Of course I remember."

Seeing Ji Chunshan's appearance, Feng Deli took a puff of cigarette, and then said: "Wu Laoshuan is going to buy a house for his second son in the town to get married. It turns out that the house for the second son in the village is no longer needed, so he wants to sell it. They made an offer. Come on, it only costs 25 taels, including furniture. I thought this is your old house after all, so I came to ask you first."

Ji Chunshan lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said to Feng Deli: "Uncle, I naturally want to buy my house, but I really don't have enough money now, so I can take out the daily expenses at most. If you pay 15 taels, you won’t get a penny more.”

Ye Qinglan on the side was puzzled when he heard what Ji Chunshan said, but he didn't say much.

As soon as Feng Deli heard that Ji Chunshan was only willing to pay 15 taels, he understood what Ji Chunshan meant, nodded, and said, "Sure, I'll just tell the Wu family that it's up to them if you like it or not." gone back.

Ji Chunshan sent Feng Deli out, and said, "Uncle Feng, what is the price of the land near my house?"

"Oh? It depends on what you're doing." Feng Deli glanced at Ji Chunshan and said, "If it's land reclamation, it doesn't cost any money. It's five years of white farming, and after five years, taxes are collected on good land. If it's building a house , then it will be calculated according to the house land. This one is close to the back mountain, and it is on the mountainside, the cheapest, one mu of land is only one or two yuan. Why, you want to buy land?"

"I have this plan. The house I live in now is too small. It leaks rain in summer and wind leaks in winter. It is really not a long-term place to live. I thought about buying the land first, and then taking advantage of the cheapness now, put bricks and tiles and the like The building materials have also been bought, and in the spring of next year, we will push the thatched cottage and build a bright new house." Feng Deli's help is needed to buy land, buy building materials, and hire people to build the house, and Ji Chunshan will Straightforwardly stated his plan.

As soon as Feng Deli heard that it was a house of bricks and tiles, he knew that Ji Chunshan's plan was not small, so he said with a smile: "If it is a big house of bricks and tiles, 15 taels is not enough."

Ji Chunshan smiled and said, "It's not enough now, but it will be enough then."

"You," Feng Deli shook his head, without piercing Ji Chunshan's small thoughts, and said again: "You have thought about it yourself, come to me at any time, and I will take care of it for you."

"Then I'll thank Uncle Feng first." Ji Chunshan said casually.

After seeing off Feng Deli, Ji Chunshan went back to the house.

Ye Qinglan was continuing to mend clothes, Ji Chunshan looked over as soon as he came in, and asked, "Then what's the difference between the Wu family and Ji's family in the past?"

Ye Qinglan has been to the village and seen the old house of Ji's family before. Although she only took a look outside the door, she can see its grandeur. Even compared with the houses in the town, the price of 25 taels is absolutely It's not high anymore, it's the old house of Ji's family, and Ji Chunshan keeps all the money he earned. Although he didn't count it every day, he probably knows that there are no less than 30 taels of silver, enough to buy the old house up.

Ji Chunshan smiled and said: "When we were neighbors, there was nothing wrong with them, but later, the old house was sold to their family for 15 taels, including furniture."

What Ji Chunshan hasn't said yet is that when the house was built, Yuan was still young, with all his brothers and sisters around, and the house was in the center of the village.Ji's father was afraid that the family would not be able to live if there were too many people, so he also bought the land of the neighboring family, and prepared to have a place to build a new house when the child grew up.Although it will not be built for the time being, but there is no panic. It has been made into a vegetable garden. For the convenience of watering, a well has been dug beside it. Sturdy, well-styled furniture, all in all, even 50 taels of silver is worth it.

But only in the countryside, those who have money in the village are more willing to go to the town to buy it, those who have no money want to buy it but can’t buy it, and Ji’s family is in urgent need of money for Ji’s father’s medicine, so they only ask for 30 taels, but no one agrees. In the end, only Wu Laoshuan's family could afford 15 taels of silver, so they had to sell it.

Regardless of whether the Wu family really could only offer 15 taels at that time, or only willing to give 15 taels, it was the Ji family's willingness, and it was meaningless to say anything else.Now the Wu family wants to sell this house, and the asking price is lower than that of the Ji family, but there are probably few houses in the village that can afford it.If there are some that can be taken out, people prefer to build new ones themselves, so why buy someone else's old house to live in.

The Wu family entrusted the village chief Feng Deli to find a buyer. Feng Deli thought that it was the old house of the Ji family after all, so he first came to ask Ji Chunshan what he meant. Unexpectedly, Ji Chunshan didn't say yes or no, only that he could afford it. At 15 taels, I knew that Ji Chunshan still remembered what happened at the beginning, and heard that he planned to build a new house, so he had no plan to buy back the Ji family's old house.

After Ji Chunshan finished speaking, Ye Qinglan understood what he meant, nodded and did not speak, but agreed with his actions.

Left and right are not forced to buy and sell. Ji Chunshan only offered 15 taels. The Wu family would sell it if they wanted to, and they would not lose anything. No one could say anything.
