small landlord [food]

"It's not expensive..."

Mrs. Shen looked at the form in the notebook with some greed. In fact, she didn't quite understand it, but they explained it clearly. She seemed to be able to see the fertile land of cabbage prices per acre through the small brown leather notebook. .

"Sister-in-law of the Shen family, I didn't say that no one farms land these days. If you want to use the land, it's a matter of minutes. How many families have reported to me, as long as you pay the money, we will This will follow you around the field, and once the note is written, this matter will be settled within half a day."

There were only two middle-aged women in the brigade's office, one was from their Yang family village, and the other, Shen Yuan looked at, was probably from a neighboring village, drinking tea and reading newspapers.The brigade is in charge of several villages and villages in the suburbs of the county, and all the fields are assigned to them. The person in Yangjia Village is also an old acquaintance. When he saw Mrs. Shen and Shen Yuan coming in, he greeted them warmly. Looking at the ground, he took out a stack of ledgers from the glass cabinet behind him.

They are all veterans, and they don't need to look at the computer. When they came up, they explained the situation of Yangjia Village to them clearly.

Aunt Li is from the Li family at the head of the village, and she is a distant neighbor of the Shen family. Seeing Aunt Shen, she thought she was renting the land, so she threw the book in front of her, and gave her all the details.

Anyway, her salary was paid by the brigade, and there was nothing for her to earn during the lease. Aunt Li flipped through a few pages, pointed to the top, and said to Mrs. Shen thoughtfully: "Shen's, you Look at this, it’s closer to your home, that’s one mu of Zhang’s second son’s land in the middle... Let’s go to the east, there’s also wasteland here in the east, what do you think? If you don’t need to be close to your land boundary, then this is the one , there are even two acres of three acres, and the land is not too barren, it's pretty good, why don't auntie take you to see it?"

Mrs. Shen's eyeballs were still glued to the notebook, but her mouth asked Shen Yuan: "Yaoer, what do you think?"

Aunt Li looked at Shen Yuan in surprise: "Youngest, you want the land? What are you doing here?"

"Grow flowers, plant grass." Shen Yuan unhurriedly flipped through the ledger in his hand.

"You, you just like to tease boredom." Aunt Li burst out laughing, "Growing flowers and grass, right? Then go to Yangtou Mountain on the west side of the village. You don't need to raise the ready-made flowers and plants."

"The relationship is good, it saves trouble!" Shen Yuan nodded, "There are still trees, right?"

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

Mrs. Shen: "..."

"...Are you serious?" Aunt Li was stunned.

"Of course, I remember that there used to be a dilapidated mansion on Sheep's Head Mountain, and I don't know if it's still there...?" Shen Yuan muttered to himself, put down the book in his hand, and went out.

Aunt Shen reluctantly took her eyes away from the open book, took Aunt Li's arm, dragged her out, and explained in a low voice as she walked, "Auntie, what do you want to do during this time at home? Don't worry, he's not a kid anymore."

In fact, in her heart, the youngest is much more reliable than Shen Daqing.These three brothers really have one personality, alas.

As the name suggests, the sheep's head mountain is the same as the whole sheep's head, with two high ends and a little lower in the middle.It occupies a small area, and it is barren and uninhabited all year round. Weeds and trees almost submerge the mountain. After walking up from the foot of the mountain for a few minutes, you can't see where your legs are.

Shen Yuan was alright, he was taller and had longer legs, it was too difficult for Aunt Shen and Aunt Li who followed, they supported each other, one foot was deep and the other was shallow, and they had to pull the waist-high grass. After a while, I was out of breath and sweating profusely.

Seeing that the two were having difficulty walking, Shen Yuan was also worried about his sister-in-law's body, and refused to persuade them to go down after several attempts. In the end, he had to let them walk slowly and go up first.

Before the founding of the Republic of China, Yangtou Mountain was a mansion occupied by local landlords. The entire mountain top was counted. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the landlord disappeared, and the land was directly assigned to the brigade.Yangjia Village is located in a plain area, no one has a land of three to five mu, who would dislike this dilapidated mountain, even if there is a whole big house on it, no one cares about it, after all, it is a dead house, no matter how luxurious and spacious it is. Dare to.

As a result, after all these years, it has almost turned into a ghost mountain... It was still noon, and the cloudless and sunny day was forced into a gloomy atmosphere by the layers of tree crowns above the head. It was really cool to be cool.

Shen Yuan wiped his sweat frequently, walked halfway up the mountain, and finally found a long stone step among the weeds that occupied his entire field of vision, almost bursting into tears.He knew that, anyway, it used to be another courtyard of the landlord's house, how could it be a bare hill, and there must be a place to stop when carrying the sedan chair.

It has been barren for too long, and the top of the head is covered with dense shade. The stone steps are full of wet moss, and it is slippery when you step down.Shen Yuan walked in fear for almost half an hour before finally reaching the end, the old house at the end, it really still exists.

The white walls and blue tiles, the eaves are all carved and hollowed out, the raised corners and the species of birds he can't understand, looking into the distance with their heads held high.The traditional double doors are not the vulgar vermilion, but the thick color of black and gold, and the mottled and fallen paint surface looks miserable.There are dilapidated and headless decorations hanging on the door beams, the original appearance cannot be seen, and the door plaques have been abandoned. Two thick columns support the eaves, and there are embossed dragons and phoenixes on both sides of the stone steps. There are four majestic stone lions on both sides of the pattern, but unfortunately they are all incomplete.

The copper ring fastened on the door was very heavy, and the door was even heavier, so Shen Yuan had to push it open with great effort.Only then did he realize that the thickness of the door alone was thicker than his legs, and... there was a small door on the door.

The small black lacquered door merged with the main door, occupying about one-third of the area.Standing so close, he didn't even notice it. He poked his head in and saw the clue from the protruding latch on the inside.

Stepping over the calf-high threshold under his feet, Shen Yuan took a deep breath, just as he wanted to feel the breath of history, he sneezed several times unexpectedly.

Facing the gate is the well-preserved stone screen wall, and the entire courtyard can only be seen by going around.It is about three quarters in size, with bluestone bricks on the floor, and there are small pieces of land on both sides and four corners where trees are planted, and only dead wood is left.

Going straight is probably the hall, the doors and windows are closed tightly, and the dark red wooden door is pushed open, and the inside is even more pitiful, with a few antique chairs that are rickety and missing arms and legs, the cobwebs are as exaggerated as in the movie, and the paper on the window It has long been tattered in the passage of time, and the white spider webs are tangled up and danced wantonly.

... It's quite ready to make ghost movies.

There is a long corridor from the left to the right of the hall, which only allows three people to pass side by side. It is dark and long, and there are two wooden doors in the middle. Walking through it is another scene.There are open-air rockeries and artificial lotus ponds, ancient woodcarved railings, and small hollowed-out windows on the white walls. There are five or six houses and what looks like a kitchen woodshed.If you go around the rockery, you can still see a secret door, you can go out of the house directly.

The backyard was thus clearly divided, the layout was exactly the same, but it became an independent courtyard, and they could not interfere with each other when they entered and exited.

Shen Yuan strolled around, and the more he looked at it, the more he was satisfied. Apart from the gloomy and dilapidated, the facilities were surprisingly fine.From the gate to the uniform bluestone slabs in the courtyard, to the granite slabs inside the house, to the delicate patterns carved on the eaves, doors and windows, all of them show the wealth and extravagance of the original owner.

After so many years, it is not easy to preserve it in a relatively complete way.

Halfway through seeing Shen Yuan's house, he was already given a [-]% hit in his heart, and after he came out and went down the stone steps to meet Mrs. Shen and the others, he made a decision directly.

Mrs. Shen and the others were already exhausted. After hearing what he said, they all calmed down and followed Shen Yuan back down the mountain.
