Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Li Haitang fell in love with the yard immediately. In late autumn, the trees were withered and yellow. It was probably because the owner was not there, the yard was not cleaned, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of yellow leaves.

The main building is tall and grand, with a corridor in front of the door, with a few lanterns hanging on it. In the middle of the courtyard, the running water of Shanghe Village is used to transform it into a small pond. There is a gazebo in the middle. Get arty.

There is a reason why the price is high, and one thousand two hundred taels is worth it.

"Sister, this is too expensive."

Li Jinhu was entangled in his heart. He and his sister now had to depend on their brother-in-law to live. He was still young and had studied for a few years, so he couldn't earn any money. Buying this big yard could not be solved by more than a thousand taels.

Before his sister brought the Chen family over, Li Jinhu disagreed. He is not a pampered young master, he needs someone to take care of him, he came to the academy to study hard for the poor window, just eat whatever he wants to make do with it.

Moreover, his sister overlooked an important issue. The admission of Lushan Academy has to go through multiple assessments, and only those who pass the examination can be allowed to enter.

"Jin Hu, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

Li Haitang saw what was on his little brother's mind, and patted his head, "It doesn't matter if you can't get in Lushan Academy, there are still many schools in Lucheng."

Settling down in Lucheng is partly for Li Jinhu's studies, after all it is inconvenient to run both ways, and secondly, it is also for walking with Xiao Lingchuan's brothers in the future.

Home by their parents, go out to rely on friends. Traveling through time, with no one to rely on, Li Haitang deeply understands the importance of friends. Family members are unreliable, so they can only work **** friends. People with like-mindedness meet occasionally, call for friends, and make wine and tea in winter. Days are a little more colorful.

"If this small courtyard is decided, when can I hand it over to the owner?"

Li Haitang handled things quickly, she went into the room to look, and was quite satisfied with the layout, she could almost move in with her bags.

In the room, a layer of blue bricks was laid first, and camphor wood floors were luxuriously laid on the green bricks. The furniture and furnishings were well arranged, with a faint smell of books, showing the owner's taste everywhere.

"The homeowner said that if he doesn't take this set of screens with landscapes, flowers and birds away, he will just use them as an addition."

The owner of the house has already left for business, and entrusted Huang Ji Yahang with full authority. The house deeds are all in Huang Ji, and he can go to the stalls of the Yamen to handle the transfer of ownership at any time.

"Little lady, look at the pond between the courtyards. The homeowner has put a lot of small fish fry in it, and made fine barbed wire to block it on both sides. The fish can't escape, so you can catch fish to eat when you live here."

In the town, there is only one with such a design. Lucheng is very cold in winter, and the water freezes, leaving a big hole in the ice, and the fish can't die.

For the New Year's Eve dinner, every household has to buy fish, sell it, and earn a lot of money.

In Daqi, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants rank last. Merchants are considered to be chasing profit, and they must compare pennies and pennies, and they stink of copper.

But the owner of the house is different. He has fame and fame, and he is considered a Confucian businessman for opening a shop of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. There is a clear gap between his status and that of ordinary businessmen.

"I'll go with the buddy and go to the yamen to work."

Xiao Lingchuan asked Li Haitang to sign the contract, insisting on writing her name and handing over all the family's money.

Money is something outside of the body, and he doesn't value it at all. The two are married, and he will only be responsible for earning money from now on, as for how to spend it, it is not his business.

"My lord, this yard is so magnificent, just find a small house for our family to squeeze in."

Second Aunt Chen grabbed the hem of her clothes, her face full of unease. She thought that living in the village would be a good thing, but she didn't realize that, Li Haitang paid a thousand taels, which shows that the real person does not show his face and has a solid family background.

"You live in the concierge as soon as you enter."

Li Haitang had just entered the door and saw that there was a carriage and stable next to the gatehouse, which was just right for buying a carriage.

The gate house also has three main rooms, behind which is the kitchen, connected to the second entrance by the hanging flower door.

Behind the second-entry house, there are ponds and small pavilions. In fact, the area is not too large, but the layout is reasonable and compact.

The study is in the second entrance, and the bedroom is a suite, and there are two rooms next to it, which happen to belong to Li Haitang and Xiao Lingchuan. The family has a small population and can accommodate them.

"Mom, can I have my own house?"

Chen Daya couldn't believe it, and ran to the concierge to look. She was so small that she didn't dare to enter the door, so she only poked her head at the door.

Chen's shabby quilts were all knotted with cotton, and they were not warm in winter. Li Haitang planned to take Chen's second aunt to the street to buy them.

If you want to live in, you have to buy a lot of things. Just bedding, bedding, and rice, flour, oil and salt for the kitchen cost dozens of taels of silver.

She was cheerful when spending money, but afterward, Second Aunt Chen was very distressed. That quilt cost 400 Wen, which was her wages for doing laundry for two months.

"Second Aunt Chen, this money cannot be saved."

Cheap quilts cost two hundred cash, but it will definitely be cold in winter. If you are covered by the wind and catch a cold, it will cost money to drink soup and medicine, and you will have to suffer.

"I'll study a few recipes in the future, and when the time comes, you can make them differently, and you can also nourish the brains of Goudan. Maybe you can get a good reputation in the future."

The place in the house is fairly spacious, and Aunt Chen brought the two hens raised at home to lay eggs, and Li Haitang bought a few more.

People with such conditions in the town plant flowers and grass in the courtyard, unlike Li Haitang, who raises chickens and grows vegetables, and cleans up diligently, so the house is not too dirty.

Settling down in Lucheng, Li Haitang took care of the odds and ends and was busy for two days.

During the period, the younger brother Li Jinhu passed the examination of Lushan Academy, packed his bags, and took Sixi to live on the mountain. She was worried, so she stayed for two days, waiting for Sixi to come back to pick up food and pass on the news.

"The young master is very knowledgeable, and the master praised him for his good foundation."

Sixi came back to deliver things, and talked about the situation in the academy, the book boys could only go down the mountain once a day, no more than two hours at a time, and they had to get the right cards when they went and returned.

The lady in the dining hall was vicious, she only knew how to cook cabbage slices in clear water, and the steamed buns were harder than stones, so Sixi choked and rolled her eyes.

Everyone has their own room, and the firewood in the tea room has to be solved by themselves.

The little brother Jin Hu can adapt to the life of Lushan Academy, so Li Haitang has no worries. She got pig ears and messy hair from Sun Tietou's house, and is going to go back to the border city to deliver medicines to Chun Niang.

There was a delay of a few days in the middle, and in the middle of September in the lunar calendar, Li Haitang had a hot filial piety. She discussed with Xiao Lingchuan that there would be no ceremony when they got married, and they could just notify their friends.

Without Li Jinhu to adjust the atmosphere in the middle, the two are always a bit awkward, especially at night, when the husband and wife live in separate rooms. Getting along together, Li Haitang could see that the savage husband was very restrained. At night, she heard the sound of water several times, went out secretly, and saw him with his upper body naked, facing the cold water, with his hair wet against his cheeks, a little more wild and untamed, and she couldn't help but feel excited.
