Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

When I got home, I saw that there was vacant land in front and behind the house. I wondered if I should buy some of it. I just wondered how the wasteland behind the house was selling. If it was cheap, I could buy some and grow some vegetables. It’s OK now, but it won’t be so convenient after a while. I can also transplant the sweet potatoes from the mountains back home. I can make hot and sour noodles in winter, and stew vermicelli with hens. Roasted sweet potatoes... I can sell them when the time comes, which will also bring in profits. I looked at the two kids and said to them:

"Dabao, Xiaobao, what do you say about us buying some land?"

"Buy land?" Dabao was startled and looked up at me: "Mom, we don't have money!"

"Mom has made some money, but I don't know how much land it can buy. Dabao, can you help mom ask the village head uncle?"

Dabao was shocked: "Mom, where did the money come from?"

"Don't worry, Mom didn't steal or rob. I found a job today and will have income in a few days. I just don't know how to buy the land behind our house? How much can we buy with this money? How about Dabao ask the village head uncle?"

"Well, I'll go now. Mom, wait for me to find out and I'll tell you when I get back."

After the young boy finished speaking, he turned around and ran out at a very fast speed. He ran back in two quarters of an hour.

I won and went up to wipe the sweat off Dabao's forehead and asked him, "How's it going?"

Dabao nodded, the joy in his eyes almost overflowing, it seemed that the head of the village agreed very readily.

"The village head said that the place is wasteland and no one wants it. If we want it, it can be charged two taels of silver per mu. However, it costs one tael of silver as a handling fee at the government office. He said that as long as we buy it, we can ask him to go to the government office to register a household at any time. But mother, how much should we buy?" Dabao asked me in a low voice.

I took Xiaobao and said to Dabao: Let’s go back and talk about it.

When I got home, I took out all the money I earned today and the money I had left yesterday. The two brothers were shocked. Dabao turned around and closed the door, and even found a stick to hold it shut. Xiaobao sat down next to the door and blocked it with his back.

"Mom, why are there so many? You can buy several acres with them. Where did these come from? Put them away and hide them."

This is not good. They are so scared by such a small amount of money. I need to train their courage in the future. I pulled Dabao and Xiaobao up with a smile and sat them on the bed. I told them about selling things in the town today and getting a deposit for renovating a flush toilet for someone. I also explained where the money came from. The two brothers were even happier after hearing this. I asked Dabao;

"Dabao, how much land do you think we should buy?"

Dabao thought for a while and said to me, "Let's buy six acres. Then, after adding the cost of setting up a household, there will be 13 taels left, and there will be some left for expenses. These lands are not very good, but at least we have land."

"Okay, let's do as Dabao said. You take the silver and go to the government office with the village chief tomorrow. You can do with the extra silver."

The boy's idea was very good, and it was almost what I expected. I took 14 taels of silver and wrapped it up for Dabao. Dabao took the silver and looked at me anxiously: "Mom, can I do it?"

I patted Dabao on the shoulder. "My Dabao is the biggest man in our family. You can definitely do it. You can definitely do it. Mom is still relying on you for protection. You can definitely do it."

"Okay, I will definitely do it!" Dabao nodded vigorously, stuffed the silver into his arms, hugged it carefully, and half-lytook down against the head of the bed.

I didn't sleep these past few nights, but I was sitting up. There was nothing I could do. The next thing I had to solve was the house. I couldn't afford it if I continued like this.

There were many things to do today, so Dabao got up early to meet with the village head uncle to go to the government office to register a household. When he came back after the appointment, I had already prepared breakfast, stir-fried some green vegetables, cooked some brown rice, and made a little more for Xiaobao who was at home to eat at noon.

After Dabao finished eating, he went to the village to take the bus. I decided to walk there today. You don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run a household. It’s hard to make money, but easy to spend money! I don’t have much money on hand. Saving two cents is two cents. Anyway, I don’t need to bring anything today, so it’s easier to walk. I’ll still bring the small backpack with me. I’ll see if there’s anything I can buy later. If there is, I’ll bring some back.

When we arrived at the agreed location, Boss He and his team were already working. Because what we said yesterday was relatively simple, they just drew a line on the area they were going to pass through. I looked at it and made some changes to one point. There were no deviations in other places. After all, they were all familiar with construction and often worked in this field, so they were more receptive than others.

They were asked to lay out the foundation for the time being and determine what they were going to do in the afternoon. They agreed to come back tomorrow morning. Boss He was very straightforward. He confirmed that he could do the work in the afternoon and said cheerfully:

"Okay, sister, you go ahead and do your work, but you must come over tomorrow. Since I'm older than you, I'll call you sister."

I couldn't ask for more, Brother He, I'll leave first, see you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Brother He and the others, I came to the government office. Upon asking, I found out that they had already gone to measure the land and set up boundary stakes. The paperwork had been completed and the boundary pillars had been set up, so the matter was considered settled.

After arriving at the government office, I decided to walk around the street. Passing by a clothes shop, I saw someone selling old quilts and sheets, so I asked. The price of the two together was equivalent to 300 wen, so I bought them and went back to make an extra bed so that I could sleep at night and not have to work so hard as I do now.

When I returned to the thatched cottage, I saw Dabao holding the document and Xiaobao, both of them grinning. When they saw me coming back, they ran over and took the things off my shoulders. They handed the document to me.

"Mom, look, I've done it.

"Dabao grinned happily, took out the silver in his arms, poured it on the bed, counted it, and said happily: I still have 500 coins left. The government took 12 taels, which was the money for buying the land. I spent one tael on the document. I invited them to have breakfast in the town, which cost 200 coins. I was going to treat them to a meal after the boundary stakes were driven in, but one of the errand boys had something urgent to do and said he had to go back first. The head of the village said there was no need to treat them. He asked me to give 150 coins each.

"Dabao, you did a great job. From now on, I will leave these things at home to you."

Xiaobao jumped up happily: "Mom, these lands are all ours. We have land now, hehehehe."
