Through this purchase of land, Kang Min had a better understanding of the prices at that time and his own property. 180 taels, plus the cost of the land deed and management, the average is about [-] taels of silver per mu of land.And the [-] mu of paddy fields bought is the best land in Xinyang, and the price is also the highest. The cheapest land can even buy one mu for [-] yuan.The land that Kang Min bought can produce six buckets of grain per mu.Uh, Kang Min doesn't know how much Liu Dou is, but judging from Kang Zhao's excited appearance, it should be quite a lot.

As for the first property inventory, Kang Min classified it as "a pile of jewellery", which was indeed worth more than the cash in her hand.It's easy to understand, even if you take care of a lover, you have to be a bit more interesting, and giving jewelry is better than giving money directly.The ancients, of course, had a little more shame than the modern coal bosses.

Except for the pawned bracelets and golden hairpins, Kang Min took the rest of the items to different pawnshops to estimate the value. The total amount was more than 600 taels, which was enough for their family of three to live comfortably.

Kang Min decided to put away the remaining jewelry and never use it again, so as not to attract attention.These things were all given by the original lover, who is also the baby's biological father, so let's leave them all to the baby in the future.

Kang Min's earrings and pearls were also replaced with ordinary items worth a few taels of silver.It just makes outsiders think that the money for buying the land is the whole family's efforts of the Kang family, so as not to worry about Xiaoxiao.

After all, there is only a pregnant woman and an old man in their family. If they are helpless against thieves, it is better to keep a low profile.

Of course, at the current price of only two taels of silver for a table for eight people, Kang Min's earrings, beaded flowers, and fine silk and satin clothes were not cheap.There is a family in Ping'an Lane who eats public meals in the yamen, so ordinary thieves and thieves will not come to Ping'an Lane.And big thieves don't look at things that cost a few taels of silver.

What's more, Kang Min has the protection of the beggar gang.

People in Xinyang live in prosperity, and there are not many beggars.But because Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang, lives in Xinyang, the Beggar Gang is still the largest force in Xinyang City.At the beginning, Kang Min deliberately made friends, and after Qiao Feng, Gao Linjun and others left, Hao Tai still often brought Xiao Gouzi and Xiaopang to visit her, and they continued to age with her, and they were siblings, and Xiaogouzi and Xiaopang called her Aunt Kang .

Xiaogouzi and Xiaopang are the little beggars Hao Tai brought with him who once helped Kang Min clean up the house.Kang Min felt that these two names were too ugly, and wanted to change their names for them, but was afraid that they would be unhappy.

Although they had known each other longer than Mrs. Xiugu Luo, the other party was a Jianghu person after all. Xiugu and the others would fight and kill people if they disagreed with each other. Jianghu people that the government can't control, Kang Min doesn't understand.

But it's not because of this, but because she has seen a lot of modern people with high self-esteem. The poorer they are, the more they care about self-esteem, and they are extremely sensitive.Hao Tai didn't seem to care about anything, and he did the same after getting in touch with him.If he accidentally pokes at his weak point, he must be the kind of person who draws his sword to face him.

Little Gouzi and Xiaopang grew up wandering in the rivers and lakes, and their personalities followed Kangtai's.

Kang Min didn't know if all the so-called Jiang Hu people were like this, they valued face and dignity more than the sky, and more important than their fate.

Kang Min is more at ease with Mrs. Xiuguluo and the others.Kang Min didn't know whether it was because everyone was a woman or because of the difference between people in the quack and ordinary people.

But Kang Min is really grateful to Hao Tai and the three of them.They really helped her a lot when she first arrived in Xinyang.

A few days after Kang Zhao bought the land, Hao Tai came to visit.It was Xiu Gu who was helping Kang Min with cooking, and she had met Hao Tailai before. Xiu Gu thought it was bad to see a strange man and would avoid it in the kitchen, but Hao Tai never noticed it. I got used to it helplessly, and now when I heard Hao Tailai, I said: "I'm going to make a pot of wine for Mr. Hao, today's food is not enough, why don't you come back with a few catties of stewed pork?"

Kang Min gave her the money, and she went out.

Hao Tai patted his head in embarrassment: "Please trouble Aunt Xiu."

Kang Min jokingly said, "Are you only bothering Aunt Xiu and not me? Are you not bothering my father?"

Hao Tai said: "I really trouble Mr. Kang and you to come this time, my sister won't dislike you, right?" He wanted to pretend to be calm, but after getting along for a while, Kang Min could easily tell from his eyes and expression. It was embarrassing to find him saying this.

So Kang Min didn't pause, and immediately said: "Brother, why do you say that, you have helped my little sister so much, but my little sister is just worried that I can't repay you, if there is anything I can help you, it will be great, and it will save our father and daughter Uneasy day and night."

Kang Min's words couldn't be more enthusiastic, Hao Tai heaved a sigh of relief, and told Kang Min in the future: "I heard that Mr. Kang bought land in the suburbs, but have you found a good tenant?"

The beggar gang is well-informed, and Kang Min is not surprised to know about the land purchase. "Not yet, my father and I were still discussing a while ago, and we wanted to trouble Big Brother Hao to help find some reliable tenants." Kang Min had a guess in his heart.

Hao Tai was overjoyed: "So that's it, that's exactly what I came for. Sister, if you trust me, let me help you find a tenant, take care of your land, and never lie to the master!"

Kang Min said with a smile: "Brother Hao is willing to take care of Daddy and me, of course it's what I wish for." She didn't ask who Hao Tai planned to find.As far as she knows, Hao Tai doesn't know how to farm at all, and it is impossible to farm.Xiao Gouzi and Xiaopang are still young, and they have never touched a hoe.Hao Tai values ​​righteousness, so he probably won't cheat her.As the saying goes, there is no doubt about employing people, if she keeps asking questions, maybe the thin-skinned Hao Tai should make up his mind, which is not beautiful.

"That's good, the person Mr. Hao is looking for must be trustworthy, and it saves the commission of the dental clinic." Kang Zhao said so when he came back and found out.

Kang Min nodded: "Brother Hao said that he will bring someone here for us to see tomorrow, so don't go out tomorrow."

"Understood." Kang Zhao said, looking at his daughter several times, hesitant to speak.

Kang Min signaled him to say.

"Minmin... what do you think of Uncle Hao?" Kang Zhao asked in a self-conscious way.

"He's good, but he's not suitable for me." Kang Min quickly dismissed Kang Zhao's thoughts.

The word "regret" was clearly written on Kang Zhao's expression. "That's right, people in the Jianghu fight and kill, and they are not stable... What about that carpenter Xu in the alley? The chairs and bookcases you made last time, he charged ten cents less than others."

"Father, you want to sell me for ten pennies?" Kang Min said angrily.

Kang Zhao hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, I'm just asking, just asking, just forget it if you don't like it."

Kang Min glared at him, and continued to toss the fabric in his hand.When she had nothing to do, she learned how to cut clothes from Xiugu.Embroidery is such a difficult craft that she has no hope in her life. Tailoring is relatively simple, and she can make small clothes for the baby by herself after learning it.Ancient fabrics did not have chemical fuels, and the dyed colors were not as bright as modern ones, and the colors faded after being exposed to water.A new suit turns white after two or three washes.Kang Min loves to be clean. She needs to change her clothes at least once every two days, especially her underwear every day.When I fled from my hometown, I took all the gold and silver with me, but I only had two sets of clothes, and now I only wear them when I arrived in Xinyang.She didn't like the style, and she wasn't satisfied with the color, so she had to talk dry with the tailor to get what she wanted, and the charge was more expensive than ordinary clothes.Kang Min came up with the idea of ​​making clothes by himself.

Now that I have been studying for half a month, I first made a set of modern underwear for myself, using bamboo rings instead of iron rings, and the fine cotton cloth used, although there is no elasticity or pattern, but it is not bad to wear.

Then, under Xiugu's guidance, Kang Zhao was cut out a jacket, which was also made of fine cotton.Although the stitches were rough, Kang Zhao was so happy to receive his daughter's brand middle coat that he almost didn't want to wear a coat.

Now Kang Min is trying to make baby clothes.The baby's skin is tender, and with her craftsmanship, she can only make clothes that are worn on the outermost layer that does not touch the skin.For the close-fitting ones, she hired a tailor to do them.

It's late autumn right now. Calculate the time. When the baby is born, it will be early spring and the weather will still be cold.Spring covered autumn cold, she was going to sew a one-piece cloak for the baby.I chose thick damask, and the lining is lined with airtight plain fabric, which can be worn even in winter.Now the work is just getting to the point where the damask is cut and the buttonholes are drilled.Buttonholes are easy to drill. To find a good position, just cut the hole with scissors. It is troublesome to lock the buttonhole.

Kang Zhao looked at his daughter's virtuous appearance, and couldn't help but said, "Minmin, you don't plan to live like this, do you?" Although he persuaded his daughter to give birth to the child, it was for the sake of her safety, not to make her The daughter spent the rest of her life guarding them, the old and the young.Right now he has even mentioned two candidates, but my daughter is not interested... Or, is she still thinking about that Master Duan? "Minmin, compared to when you were young, our life is much better now. Now that we have bought a field, we will only get better and better in the future. Let's live a peaceful life and stop thinking about unrealistic things."

Kang Min couldn't help but rolled his eyes, the tip of the needle almost poked his finger. "You think too much, Daddy! I didn't say I won't marry, and I didn't think about who I would like to climb. I haven't met the right one. Why are you so anxious? Do you despise me? Get me out of the house early, so I can't see you Are you upset?"

"Of course not, of course not, I wish you would never marry for the rest of your life... Oh, no, no..." Kang Zhao took Kang Min's joke seriously, and was so anxious that he couldn't finish his sentence.

Kang Min tightened the damask, raised it up to look at the sun, and said slowly, "Daddy, don't worry, I have to keep my filial piety."

"I just want you to choose first. If you choose, let's talk about it first. We can get married as soon as the filial piety is over..." Kang Zhao said in a low voice.The so-called husband's filial piety is something they made up to fool outsiders. Kang Zhao doesn't think there is anything wrong with choosing a son-in-law first in private, as long as they don't let outsiders know.

"That's all right, all right, my stomach is still big, let's talk about getting married after I get off my filial piety." Kang Min said.

Kang Zhao looked at his daughter's growing belly, and finally stopped talking about the marriage, and started talking about their newly bought fields. "Let the land rest for the whole winter this winter, and when spring comes, we will plant half of the wheat and half of the rice... Our land is next to the river, and the river is connected to a lake called Little Mirror Lake. I have lived so big It's the first time I've seen square bamboo at this age... The canal dug by Hu's family can still be used, and I need to build a hut for night watch..."

Kang Zhao spoke with gusto.

Kang Min's thoughts had long drifted away, and he didn't listen to his nagging at all.

Alas... get married.Regardless of whether it was before or after the time-traveling, Kang Min never thought about defeating Buddha in a fight.But when she really puts her personal choice in front of her, she doesn't like this or that.I still remember that in my previous life, my mother yelled at herself anxiously: "What kind of person do you want?" She answered "safe and reliable", and the abstract answer made my mother jump with anger.

No wonder people say that no conditions and no requirements are actually the most demanding requirements.

In ancient times, there are many more problems before her than in modern times.

Her conditions for choosing a mate remained the same, but her own conditions dropped.In modern times, she has a diploma, a decent job, a good age, not ugly, and a well-off family.In ancient times, although the appearance was beautiful, it was too oily, and it was forced to become a second marriage.

Kang Min heard that the candidates brought to Xiu Gu's matchmaker were all widowers with at least two children, or young children.

No wonder Xiugu refused to remarry.

In other words, she may be good but limited.

In fact, what is needed in the end is the feeling... All the conditions are false, the key is that she has never met the man who made her feel like she could spend decades with him.

Alas, if the modern mom found out what she was thinking, she would definitely scold her head and face again.I don't know how she is now, alas... When she was a child, she blamed her parents for divorce and started a family separately, making herself like an outsider.Now I'm glad that my parents have their own partners and children, otherwise I only have one child, and if I suddenly disappear, I will cry to death.
