Chapter 128 Buying Land (600+ monthly tickets)

Chen Afu led the children and the two parrots to make a fuss for a whole day. Today's stewed food is very appetizing. If they behave well, he will use a small toothpick to pick up a small piece (piece) for them to eat. This kind of stewed food is most suitable for Qiqi's appetite. It always wants to eat more than others, and it recites more hard, and its voice is much louder.

At the hour of You, Chen Afu got off work. After leaving the gate of Yiran Courtyard, he left with great guilt in the loud crying of the little girl, almost every time. I can't bear it, but I can't help it.

When Chen Afu returned home, he saw Chen Ming's face was full of red and he looked very happy.

He said that this banquet was very well organized. Except for Wu Changsheng, all the invited people came. Later, Manager Luo asked Chen Agui to invite Yu Landlord and Yu Lizheng from Guqiao Village. Manager Luo and his son, Constable Xia, Yu Landlord and other distinguished guests were very happy to eat.

Chen Ye felt honored and was very happy. He drank too much. Dabao and Alu's performances were also noteworthy. Especially Dabao, when he went to toast on behalf of his mother, he was not nervous and was very good at speaking. Manager Luo and others said that he would have a good future...

Chen Ming laughed, "...Oh, it turns out that Constable Xia's eyes have grown to the top of his forehead. This time he looked at my eldest brother and me very warmly, and said that he would invite Manager Luo and our brothers to his home in the county to drink someday."

Alu also said, "It turns out that Hu Laowu saw that my father looked down on people with a big nose, so he came to toast my father several glasses of wine today, and his attitude was extremely good."

Chen Afu flattered, "Now my father is also a well-off person in the neighborhood. After a while, people will call you Chen the landlord."

Everyone laughed, and Chen Ming's laughter was even louder.

Chen Afu praised Alu and Dabao again, "You two are not bad, little men, you can help your father and grandfather entertain guests."

The two little boys smiled.

In the evening, Chen Afu showed Wang the two sets of clothing patterns he designed for Xiulou. The two discussed the style and color matching, made some modifications, and started to cut clothes.

This is a set of stand-up collar double-breasted quilted jacket with horse-faced skirt, and a set of stand-up collar slanted small jacket with pleated skirt.

There were also stand-up collars in this era, but they were all made of middle clothes, and outer clothes were round collars or cross collars. And the stand-up collar is made of two or three layers of cloth, and it will become soft after washing twice.

The stand-up collar she designed this time is made of several layers of cloth starched and then sewn, which is not only smoother and more beautiful, but also not easy to wash soft.

The stand-up collar jacket is made of silver-red colorful flower jacquard brocade, with dark satin edging, a pair of golden phoenix buttons under the collar, and a row of silver-red pipa buttons below. The stand-up collar is silver-red satin embroidered with golden phoenix flowers. It is matched with a dark purple horse-faced skirt embroidered with bamboo leaves.

The stand-up collar slanted jacket is made of lake blue satin, with a circle of green plum blossoms embroidered on the collar, moon-white plain satin edging, and a row of spring-colored flower basket buttons. The stand-up collar is relatively high, made of moon-white satin with gold cloud pattern, and a circle of lace/silk edges. It is matched with a goose egg green pleated long skirt.

These two sets of clothes are similar to those of this era, but the collars have been greatly improved, suitable for autumn and winter, and the style also highlights the buttons.

The clothes are of course made by the skilled embroiderer Wang, and Chen Afu helps. It is more troublesome to make these two sets of clothes, and there are those troublesome buttons and embroidery, which take at least half a month to make.

October 3rd came in a flash, and it was Chen Afu's day off. Fearing that the little girl would not be used to it, she made some extra golden silk cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus biscuits the day before and put them in Tangyuan.

As soon as he had breakfast, Chen Ming hurriedly carried a bag of candy to Gao Lizheng's house and asked Gao Lizheng to go to the shrub forest to measure the land. That was the boundary of Xiangluo Village, and beyond that, it belonged to Shangshui Village.

About half an hour later, Chen Ming went home and said that the land had a total of seven mu and three fen, and Gao Lizheng said it was seven mu. Two taels of silver per mu of wasteland, seven mu would be fourteen taels of silver. The three mu and five fen on the east side next to Tangyuan were registered under Chen Afu's name, and the three mu and five fen on the west were registered under Chen Ming's name.

Chen Afu took out fifteen taels of silver and gave it to Chen Ming, fourteen taels were for buying the land, and the remaining one tael was given to Gao Lizheng to take to the county government to handle the deed. It was agreed that in a few days, it would be the off-season for farming, and more people would be hired to clear the bushes. Now Chen Ming didn't have to do anything else, just this.

She calculated in her mind that she still had 112 taels of silver, 40 taels of gold ingots, and more than ten taels of broken gold, and she had to make more money. Thinking about the two sets of clothes, she didn't know how much money she could make for herself.

Chen Afu took Zhuifeng to Guqiao Village to buy meat, and after returning, he was busy making lunch.

Before lunch, Chen Ye came with Old Lady Chen, and Hu followed behind. They came here specially after hearing that Chen Ming bought the land. They already knew that Chen Ming and Chen Afu wanted to buy land to build a house, but they didn't expect the two families to buy it separately. The two had taught Chen Ming so much before, but he still didn't listen to the advice.

The two complained to Chen Ming, saying that the place was far from the village, and they let Afu and Dabao live alone. What if something happened? They looked like they were thinking about Chen Afu.

Chen Ye said, "Second brother, my brother and mother will not harm you. Why don't you discuss such a big thing with us before deciding?"

Chen Ming was afraid that they would disagree, so he kept it a secret.

Seeing that Chen Ye was a little angry, he quickly explained, "The money for buying the land and repairing the house was all paid by Ah Fu. Ah Fu said that it was close to Tangyuan and he was not afraid of being bullied by others..." Meaning, whoever paid for the land, of course he had to listen to him.

"It's close to Tangyuan! Can Ahfu teach the young master of Tangyuan for a lifetime? Can Tangyuan protect them for a lifetime? The young master will grow up and get married." Chen Ye said after taking two puffs of cigarette.

Old Mrs. Chen also said, "Yes, Ahfu is good-looking and Dabao is too young. It's really worrying for them to live alone in such a big yard."

Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma, don't worry, when I make more money in the future, I will buy two servants. We will be fine."

Chen Ye and Old Mrs. Chen were shocked again when they heard that people even said they would buy servants. In the whole Xiangluo Village, only Gao Lizheng's family had two old servants.

Chen Ye clicked his tongue twice, gave Chen Ahfu a thumbs up and said, "Ahfu, good, you have made progress."

He didn't continue talking. He thought to himself that she was the daughter of Mr. Chen, like her father, with a good brain, and she really had a great future. Such a person must not be offended.

When Mrs. Hu heard that the second branch was going to buy servants, she was so envious that her eyes turned red. She started to talk about how Chen Ye sacrificed himself for his brothers. At the end, she said, "Second uncle, you are going to buy servants, and you can't watch your eldest brother work so hard at such an old age."
