The village chief beamed. He was really happy. The house and homestead that had been stranded for a long time had a place to go, and the village's public accounts could earn a lot of money. It seemed that there were no benefits for this tribe to live in.

He Jiuniang asked again: "May I ask the village chief, is there any fertile land for sale in the village? Or is there anyone in the village who wants to sell land?"

The village chief touched his little Hu Hu shook his head: "According to current regulations, the land in the village cannot be sold at will. It must be kept and distributed to the mature men in the village. After you have lived in the village for three years and stabilized, the mature men can also be allocated land. , It’s just that there are too many people here, so we can’t divide it too much, and the place is relatively remote, and it’s not fertile farmland. You have to be prepared!”

When there are more people, they will You have to go to the county government to apply for land grant to the village, but the surrounding villages are definitely not willing to give up the land, so you can only apply for more remote land, which is barely possible.

“As for the village, I don’t know yet which family wants to sell their land. I’ll ask you later, but I don’t know how much you can ask for?”

Village As soon as the long words ended, Mrs. Sun replied generously: "As much as you want!"

The village chief looked at her with some surprise. Can this woman make the decision?

Just now, He Jiuniang kept talking and no one stopped her. Now she can decide at will on such a big matter as buying a field?

Old Man Lu noticed the village chief’s probing gaze and thought of his own reputation as the head of the family. He coughed hurriedly: “Yes, yes, hehehe, that’s what I meant. There are many people in the family, so buy more. Only with some land can we feel at ease."

Sun looked at the village chief dissatisfied. This village chief's behavior of favoring sons over daughters was very annoying. She, the old woman, has always been the head of the Lu family, okay? What does the old man know? snort!

Old man Lu touched his nose with a guilty conscience, and looked at Mrs. Sun with a little flattering smile in his eyes, trying to save some face outside.

Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes and said nothing arrogantly.

It made the three daughters-in-law laugh for a while, and the village chief was shocked again. How dare the daughter-in-law laugh at her parents-in-law like this?

This family is really crazy!

“Ahem, okay, I’ll keep an eye on it and help you ask, but the people in our village don’t have much land, so there are naturally few people willing to sell it.”
< br />The village chief broke the embarrassment and spoke, thinking of the problems they were facing now, and said: "It will take some time to build a house. If you don't have a place to live, you can ask the villagers to rent a house. Most families can still have one or two empty rooms. , but the rent is hard to say.”

After all, it is a room in someone’s home, so it is not as good asThe empty house in Juehu is much better, and the rent for one room may be more expensive than the entire yard in Juehu.

But in this case, the Lu family would definitely have to live separately, as ordinary families could not accommodate so many of them.

He Jiuniang frowned and did not want to be separated from her family.

And it’s not a good feeling to live under someone else’s roof.

Boss Lu asked: "Village Chief, do you know if there are any old houses that are vacant in the village? If so, the price can be higher."

Village Changji shook his head regretfully. It would be great if every household could fill their stomachs these days. How could there be enough money left to buy so many houses?

"In this case, my family no longer rents. I have homesteads on both sides. It is summer, so I can build a few straw sheds for a few months.

He Jiuniang made up her mind. It is not troublesome to build a thatched tent. If there are many people, it can be built in an afternoon. It just needs some thatch and oilcloth. The thatch has a big roof and the oilcloth covers the surroundings. It can be regarded as a more refined tent.

Anyway, there is nothing more difficult than living in the open for more than two months. Sleeping in a straw hut is really nothing.

Others were still a little confused. Those who rented villagers' houses heard what He Jiuniang said and immediately said: "Yes, we can just build a straw shed, so we don't need to trouble the villagers. "

The village chief thought they were fooling around. What's the point of such a large group of people living in thatched huts? They can't run away when the wind blows?

"This... is a little inappropriate. Bar? ”

The village chief gave some tactful reminders, but everyone had blind trust in He Jiuniang and thought the straw shed was good.

Old man Lu felt that he had no right to speak. For fear that someone would steal his words again, he hurriedly said to the village chief: "Can the village chief help my family to ask which houses have dried thatch? We want to buy some. "

The village chief is speechless, isn't it? It's okay for an ignorant little woman to make nonsense, but this old man is also so unreliable?

But the village chief can't care. When we got to a wider place, we had no choice but to accept it.

He Jiuniang very wisely took out her purse, without even looking at how much money was in it, she stuffed it directly into the village chief's hand and said with a smile: "The village has a lot of work." Please work hard for us and buy some sweets for your children! "

The village chief weighed it. It should be all copper plates, but it was heavy. There were dozens of coins.

Mrs. Sun felt very distressed when she saw it, but I also know that He Jiuniang’s approach is correct. They have just arrived and they really need to have a good relationship with the village chief, otherwise they will have a hard time in the village in the future.

What’s more, ifWithout giving some benefits, the village chief is unwilling to work hard.

The village chief was really curious about who was in charge of this family, but he took a sneak peek and found that no one had any objections, which meant that this woman's status in the family was indeed extraordinary, so he Pretending to decline: "No need to thank you, this is what I should do."

He Jiuniang pushed him back with a smile: "Just accept it, village chief. We will still trouble you in the future." There are a lot of them!"

After this back and forth, the village chief accepted the money bag, and then said with a smile: "In that case, I will accept it. Let's go, I will take you to see it first Look at the house and homestead. If you want to build a thatched shed, you have to hurry up, otherwise there will be no place to sleep tonight!"

The group of people followed him out, but when they opened the door, they found someone standing outside. There were many people there, all of whom had just been sent away by the village chief and then came back.

"What are you doing? Just go ahead and do what you have to do!"

The village chief was displeased and shouted at people, but everyone was very thick-skinned, so someone stepped forward. Question: "Village Chief, there's nothing to do during the off-season, so let's join in the fun! Have they bought a homestead?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

The village chief glared He glanced at them and ignored them, then took the Lu family to see the house first.

It is indeed in disrepair. It is dirty everywhere, with cobwebs all over it. The thatch on the roof is also broken. If you are not diligent, you will not be able to live in it tonight.

But now everyone is very satisfied with this condition.

"Since you are paying rent, the money is in the village's public accounts. I will send villagers to help you repair and clean up. Don't worry."

The village chief is worried about them I disliked the dilapidated house and wanted to lower the price, so I said with a smile.

Everyone nodded in agreement. It would be better if someone helped clean up, and they could save some effort.
