Chapter 158, buy land
The next day, the family made an appointment to sit together, and his grandfather came forward, and the two families negotiated to buy the land.That family originally intended to sell the land, and the price was based on the price of land sold by people in their own village.
After negotiating the price of the land, they asked the village head and village cadres to measure the land and determine the area of the land.Under the witness of the village head and everyone, Qiao Minglang paid for the land according to the previously negotiated price, and the two parties signed the land contract, and the land belonged to their family.
It is only claimed that it was bought by their uncle's family. Everyone knows that they are now doing business together, and they all think that they have made money by doing business, and now they start buying land in the village.
If there is something wrong in the village, everyone will know it soon, and the people in the village will talk about it behind their backs.But if they can't hear these words, they don't know.
After sending off the village chief and everyone, the sun was almost setting.
Dinner was eaten at their fifth uncle's house. Qiao Minglang personally cooked some delicious dishes, and everyone sat down to eat together.The fifth aunt Huang Yan had tasted the dishes made by her little nephew, she was full of praise, and said with a smile: "Which girl will marry our Xiao Lang in the future, she will be lucky."
"Our Xiao Lang's looks are not bad. If he gets into a good university in the future, he will be a college student. From now on, all the matchmakers from all over the world will come to our house."
"Xiaolang will go out to work in the future, so he will go out to find girls. There is no need to go back to our small place to find a wife." Qiao Chunfu did not agree with his wife's words.
"What are you talking about, what's the matter with our small place? The girls in the small place are honest and hardworking, and they know how to take care of the house." Although Huang Yan also thought that his nephew would go out to study outside in the future, so he went out to find his wife, but the girls in the small place What's the matter?The girls in the small place are hardworking, cute and kind, what's wrong with that!
"That's not what I meant!" Qiao Chunfu couldn't argue, but finally found that he couldn't argue with the wife at home, so he had no choice but to surrender.
Qiao Mingjing ate his meal quietly, he was used to his parents bickering when they had nothing to do.But he didn't know that his quietness didn't last long, and soon his mother pointed the cannon at him, urging him to find his wife quickly.
"Look, your aunt has two grandchildren, and I don't know where my grandson is." It's really annoying. Huang Yan wants to hold a grandson for a day or two. When she sees someone else holding a grandson, she is Jealousy.
"..." Qiao Mingjing, can you give me a good meal?
Zhou Xing turned his head to look at the boy sitting next to him. He didn't know if other girls had this blessing. He only knew that he was the one who was blessed now, and he would not give up this blessing to others in the future.
"Brother, yes." Qiao Xiaobao was holding a spoon in his hand. He was already proficient at eating by himself, so he didn't need someone to feed him.
It's just that the child is not good at using chopsticks yet, so he needs an adult to pick up food for him.
"Do you want to eat meat?" Qiao Minglang picked up a piece of chicken for the child, and asked the child to eat more.There were two extra pieces of meat in the bowl. The child scooped up the rice with a spoon and ate the rice with a satisfied face.
Looking up at Zhou Xing and looking at him, Qiao Minglang knew what this man was thinking, so he picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put them in his bowl, "Eat vegetables, eat more."
Eat more vegetables and don't talk.
"Okay." Zhou Xing ate the dishes in the bowl in a happy mood, and would pick a piece of meat for Qiao Minglang from time to time, eating with a happy face.
It's been a long time since they had eaten their brother's fried dishes, and the siblings all ate with satisfaction.
After dinner, the sky outside had not yet completely darkened. Thinking that Zhou Xing hadn't gone out for two days since he came to their house, Qiao Minglang took Zhou Xing outside while there was still some time. Take a walk.
Two people are standing on the hillside, their village is in front of them, the mountain is behind them, and a meandering river passes outside their village.
The younger brothers and sisters at the bottom were running and making trouble, and they stood above and watched.
"The scenery here is really good." Zhou Xing looked at this small mountain village, thinking that this is the hometown where the boy grew up, and he had a different feeling for this small mountain village in his heart. Take a closer look at the big places.
Qiao Minglang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, with a faint smile on his face, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, here is the tranquility and peace of a small mountain village.After returning to this place, even people's hearts calmed down, and they didn't have to think too much.
"It's a pity that it's late, otherwise we can still go fishing." Knowing that there is a river here, Zhou Xing thought of fishing in the river, but it was a pity that it was getting dark.
"Get up early tomorrow. If you want to go, I'll take you there." Qiao Minglang said.
"Okay, then we'll make a deal." Zhou Xing replied.
The last ray of light in the sky was gradually disappearing. Seeing that it was getting dark, they went down the hillside. Qiao Minglang took the younger brothers and sisters down there and headed back towards the uncle's house.
***
After taking a shower at night, I went back to the house where they lived.
Zhou Xing opened the backpack he brought, took out a wad of money from it, and handed it to Qiao Minglang.A wad of money suddenly appeared in front of him, Qiao Minglang raised his head, followed the big hand holding the money, and looked at Zhou Xing's face.
"Here, you can use it." Zhou Xing knew that Qiao Minglang bought the land today, so he probably didn't have much money on hand.
"No need." Qiao Minglang understood what Zhou Xing meant, he stretched out his hand to push Zhou Xing's hand, and said, "No, I still have some money."
"You take it and use it as if I borrowed it from you." Zhou Xing stuffed the money into Qiao Minglang's arms, he didn't want to see the young man reluctant to spend money even for a meal.Qiao Minglang said dumbfoundedly: "It's really not necessary, I still have some money."
"Where did you get so much money?" He didn't know that Zhou Xing brought so much money, at least [-] yuan.
"Last time..." Zhou Xing wanted to say that he won the traffic jam last time, but when the words came to his lips, he almost swallowed the words, knowing that this kind of thing must not be let the young man know, and finally said vaguely: "At home pocket money from people.”
Not long ago, his eldest aunt came back and gave him a card. Later, he checked and found that there was 10 yuan in the card.Compared with his own friends who love to drink and go to disco, he is not a person who loves to spend too much money. Apart from buying a pack of cigarettes, he doesn't even drink much alcohol.
The family transfers a sum of pocket money to his account every month. Every time his aunt comes, or every time he goes to the capital, his aunt and cousin will give him money.What's more, he doesn't use the pocket money given by his elders every time during the holidays. He doesn't use it very much, and puts all of it in a card. After more than ten years, this is a lot of money. .
In addition, he himself used to gamble a little, and sometimes he would get into a traffic jam with others, and he won more often than he rarely lost.Every time they gamble not much, there will still be 2 to [-] yuan, and if they win, there will be tens of thousands.
Zhou Xing himself is a person who has no concept of money. He has never been short of money since he was a child, and he himself doesn't even know how much money he has in several cards.He only knows that he has money no matter when he needs it, even if he doesn't have it, the brothers and friends who follow him have it, so he has never been short of money, and he has no idea about money.
After getting to know Qiao Minglang, he realized that there are people who are so poor that they can't even afford to buy a piece of clothing for themselves, and they wear two school uniforms every day.The more I get to know this person, the more I realize that there are still people whose lives are so difficult.He wanted to help Qiao Minglang, but this person always rejected his kindness. Even when the two of them usually went to the dining hall to eat together, Qiao Minglang used the meal tickets he bought himself, and never used his money.
"You spend it by yourself, don't give it to me, if I want to use the money, I have it myself." Qiao Minglang refused to ask Zhou Xing for the money, so he made the bed and let the younger brothers go to bed.
Qiao Mingcheng and his little brother climbed onto the bed, which was covered with thick blankets, and the child rolled on the bed as soon as he got on the bed.
Seeing Qiao Minglang's resolute attitude, Zhou Xing had no choice but to forget it. Seeing the little boy looking at him, he took out a few sheets and stuffed them with the two children, and each gave a few sheets, "Take it and buy candy." Throw the money back into the backpack.
"..." Qiao Mingcheng looked at the money stuffed in his hand, then turned to look at his brother, the money in his hand was like a hot potato.
"Brother, brother." Qiao Xiaobao grabbed the money, climbed up to his brother, and stuffed the money into his hand with a serious face, "Brother, here, Tangtang."
The kid grew up so big that he didn't even spend a dime, but it didn't prevent him from knowing that the money given by the big brother was important. As soon as he got the money, the little guy gave it to his brother.
In the child's heart, such an important thing must be given to the elder brother.
Is this asking him to use money to buy him candy?After being stuffed with a few pieces of money, Qiao Minglang couldn't laugh or cry. He turned his head and glanced at Zhou Xing. Seeing that Zhou Xing was looking at him, he returned the money to Zhou Xing.
"It's for them, not for you." Zhou Xing pushed the money back, but didn't take it.
"They're still young, how do they know this? Don't give them so much money and lose it later." Qiao Minglang expressed helplessness and wanted to return the money to Zhou Xing.
In the end, the two argued for a while, and seeing that Zhou Xing really refused to take it back, he had no choice but to give the money to his younger brother, "You give it to your sister tomorrow."
"Oh, good." Qiao Mingcheng looked at the money in his hand, with disbelief on his face, so much money was for him?
"Don't go out and tell people outside, you know?" Qiao Minglang patted his elder brother's head and told him to lie down under the quilt to sleep.
Qiao Mingcheng hummed, folded the money and stuffed it under the pillow and said to his brother, "I understand, brother, don't worry about me, I won't go out and talk nonsense."
They never go outside to talk about family affairs, even if someone asks him outside, he always says he doesn't know.
