Village Flowers and Female Scholars

When Xie Yan came out from the dealer, Zhuang Wan's clear voice was still echoing in her ears - if you don't have enough money, don't rush to give it.

How could this person be so kind?

Originally, I planned to find an opportunity to go up the mountain to dig money early tomorrow morning. Now that Zhuang Wan is willing to help, I don’t worry about it. The Cao family will pay close attention to my movements in the past few days. The risk of going up the mountain to get money is too great. Don't want to take that risk.

When she returned to the field, it was getting late.

Seeing her looking happy, Cao E cautiously asked, "Is the matter of buying the land settled?"

"Well," Xie Yan nodded, "I've already made an agreement with the banker, and I'll sign the contract early tomorrow morning."

Knowing that the land deed would be obtained smoothly, Cao E was overjoyed but also a little sad. Although he had land, he had no house and no land to plant. He didn't know what to live on in the future.

How could Xie Yan not know what she was worrying about, and said with relief: "Mother, once you have a homestead, you will have a place to live. In the early stage, we will build a small grass shed to live in. No matter what, it is better than the firewood house of the Cao family. When I have money, I will build a big house. The land I bought is one acre, and half of it will be used to build a house and a chicken coop, and half of it can be used for farming, and I can also build a small vegetable garden.”

Xie Yan continued to describe the future with her mother: "Even if there is no land for the time being, now that the imperial court calls on the people to reclaim wasteland and farm land, the newly reclaimed land will be directly assigned to our family in the future, and there is no need to spend money to buy it. The newly reclaimed land will not be taxed until three years later, so you are afraid that there will be no land to plant in the future."

Maybe it's because the title deed has not yet been obtained, and Cao E has no idea, so she has been wandering outside, completely handled by her daughter. In addition, she has lost the courage to enjoy the future freely after more than 30 years of being tortured by Cao's family for more than [-] years. After a long time, the waist will not be straight.

Now I see my daughter happily describing the future, and my youngest son also grabs the hem of her clothes and looks forward to it. This is an unprecedented phenomenon.

Before that, she was worried every day, and her children were also worried and frightened every day, like a frightened bird, never imagined the future so easily.

Now, this gloomy life seems to have finally torn a hole, allowing the sun to shine in.

"If it can be separated, I will eat as many bitter mothers as I can. My mother's brain is not good, and only a handful of physical strength can help you do some work." Infected by the emotions of the two siblings, Cao E also became brisk. some.

Xie Yan smiled and said: "It's good if you can think about it, tomorrow at the latest, after I get the land deed, I will ask Uncle Cai and Master Shisan to help us to be a witness, divide the accounts, and we will separate them. "

Cao E was happy in her heart, but she was still a little worried and said: "When I saw Li Zheng and his wife in the morning, they would be willing to help, but I don't know if the thirteenth master is willing to speak for us, and if your grandfather doesn't let people go, it's a big deal. What to do?"

Xie Yan patted her arm and said: "It's okay, Uncle Cai has made arrangements, but mother, you must not shrink back when the time comes, I have other ways."

Her daughter seemed to have a plan in her heart. Cao E suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, gritted her teeth and decided to go all out. Now that she has reached this point, no matter whether she succeeds or not, she cannot hold back the children.

When the three of them returned home, it didn't take long for Mrs. Cao to bring them meals in person, with a few slices of bacon as yesterday.

The more abnormal the behavior of this family, the more ghosts they have in their hearts. Xie Yan calmly shared the food with his mother and younger brother, and did not give the old woman a wink.

In the past, Mrs. Cao would have scolded him long ago, but now she suppressed her temper very well, stared at Xie Yan pretending to be nonchalant and said: "I heard that you went to the dealer today, what are you doing? "

Xie Yan snorted lightly: "Fang Sanlang was killed by Zhuang Xiucai, and I was insulted by Zhuang Xiucai. I couldn't be more angry, so I wanted to scold her."

Regarding Fang Wenbo's matter, Mrs. Cao didn't know whether to blame Xie Jinniangkefu or Zhuang Wan for intervening to make things change, but now that things have come to an end, there are new plans for the mother and child, and it is not appropriate to stimulate them at this time. Following her words, she said: "This Zhuang Xiucai is also a coquettish charmer, he is really a scholar in vain."

"She's not here today, and I'll go look for her tomorrow. I can't work hard if I don't complain." Xie Yan snorted coldly, still looking very angry.

Mrs. Cao opened her mouth, and the words that were pressed in her throat wanted to come out the next moment. If it was before, the good and the bad would have to be scolded first. Go out and embarrass yourself.

But now that the third child has explained it, he can no longer beat and scold these people as before, so he has to swallow a few curse words back.

Xie Yan was tired after a day's work and was too lazy to deal with the old woman, so she lowered her head to eat and ignored her. Seeing the three people in front of her looking indifferent to her, Mrs. Cao looked very bad. But right now he couldn't be provoked, so he gritted his teeth and finally walked away with resentment on his face.

The three of them were clean, and they could barely eat enough food for the past two days, and it was rare for each of them to eat two pieces of meat. They felt comfortable and went to sleep after simply tidying up.

Waking up early the next morning, the mother and son went out carrying a hoe as usual.

Except for Cao Lao Er and his eldest son Cao Xingnian, who had to get up early to kill pigs at Dou Butcher, everyone in the Cao family got up very late. group.

The old man Cao and his wife didn't sleep much when they were old, but when they got up, they would sit in the yard and be lazy, smoking dry tobacco and teaching their children and grandchildren. In the countryside, this kind of life is very comfortable.

After the mother and son crossed the main road, they turned in the direction of the dealer, but Cao E hesitated to take a step outside the courtyard of the dealer.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Xie Yuangu whispered to his mother to pull her sleeve.

Xie Yan, who was walking in front, stopped, turned around and walked over to hold her mother's arm and said, "Mother, let's go, scholars are human beings, and we can eat them."

Before they could knock on the door, the wooden door of the yard opened with a creak, and in front of her was the naive face of a little old lady, with three cute puppies at her feet, staring in front of her in a row with big black eyes three strangers.

The old lady greeted warmly: "Come on, come quickly into the yard."

Xie Yan also hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm really sorry to disturb your old man so early, Granny Yu has had breakfast."

"Used used."

Seeing Cao E and Xie Yuangu's reserved faces, Yu Po smiled and took their hands and walked into the yard, saying as she walked, "I'm old, I can't sleep, I wake up when the rooster crows, Jin Niang This girl is getting more and more handsome."

Xie Yan felt a little embarrassed after being praised, when a cold voice came from the side saying: "Sit down for a while, I just finished writing the deed."

Xie Yan hummed and looked around, "Is Uncle Cai still here?"

Just after the conversation, a loud voice came from Wu Wai: "Come, come, come."

Cai Chu's voice appeared, and Xie Yan's heart was finally relieved.

It's just that Cai Chu asked as soon as he entered the door: "Miss Jin, you said yesterday that you will bring money here, do you remember?"

Xie Yan listened to his question, remembering yesterday that she swore she slapped her chest and said that there would not be a single copper coin missing today, and she felt a burning sensation on her face.

"It was given to me just now."

When Cai Chu heard this, his face was a bit astonished. It stands to reason that the contract has not been signed yet, and the buyer will not give the money to the seller anyway, lest the other party default.

Fortunately, Zhuang Wan also admitted to the cashier in person. Not only that, Zhuang Wan also took out the draft contract and handed it to Cai Chu for review.

Cai Chu saw that the deed was written impartially, and no one took advantage of anyone. There was no problem, so he nodded and said, "Let's sign it and put a fingerprint on it."

Cao E couldn't read, and the purchase of the land was done by her daughter alone, so she asked Xie Yan to sign.

Originally, she could read a few words. As early as when she was in Xie's family, Xie's uncle was a scholar, and she could also read a few words, so Xie Yan didn't hide the fact that she could read a few words, but she was not used to writing with a brush The handwriting was crooked when signing, but it fit Yuan's situation.

It's just that when Xie Yan signed, the awkward posture of holding the pen made it hard to describe, but she lowered her head but missed the imperceptible smile on the corner of Zhuang Yan's mouth.

Cai Chu, as a third-party party and notary, naturally also signed.

Xie Yan also saw the style of ancient deeds for the first time. At that time, there were no printers. He wanted to make two copies and each party would hold one copy. It turned out that the deeds were stacked up and divided into two halves, and then the backs of the two deeds were joined together. Then, write the word "deed" on the back of the two pieces of paper. When identifying the two pieces of paper, stick them together. When the words on the back match each other, you can prove that the two deeds are true. .

Holding this crucial document, Xie Yan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the next step is to finally rely on the separation of the family.
