So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day
Chapter 32 Confirmation of Homestead
In the early morning, the sun shone into the shabby room and onto the face of the woman who was still sleeping soundly on the bed.
The woman turned over, covered her eyes with her hands, and wanted to continue sleeping. However, a knock on the door broke her sweet dream. She rubbed her hair irritably, sat up, and wondered who came to disturb her so early.
"Sui Sui, are you up?" Second Grandma's voice sounded outside the door.
"Oh. I'm up." Sui He replied in a daze. It took him some time to come back to his senses.
Looking at the shabby room in front of them, they realized that their days of traveling had come to an end.
Sui He got dressed, opened the door and walked out. The yard had been cleaned. Second Grandma was cleaning in the kitchen. She saw Sui He standing at the door. Second Grandma came out of the kitchen with a porcelain bowl in her hand.
"What are you standing there for? Come and drink your rice porridge. We have to go out and choose a homestead later."
"Hey, grandma, where's my grandpa?" After hearing that he would go to choose a site, Sui He took the bowl and drank the millet porridge in two or three mouthfuls.
"Your grandfather and his family have gone to the village chief's house. We will go there soon."
"Okay, I'm done eating milk. I'm going to look for grandpa first." Sui He put down the bowl and ran outside. He disappeared in a short while.
"This child is so impetuous, I don't know who he takes after." The second grandmother shook her head and went back to the kitchen with the bowl.
The morning sun was shining brightly, and a cool breeze blew by. Chickens from someone's house on the roadside were startled by the noise of the wheat and ran away in all directions.
An old lady who passed by and didn't know him looked at Sui He running over and curiously asked the others who were with him, "Whose boy is this?"
"I heard that the group of people who fled yesterday will live in our village from now on."
Following yesterday's memory, Sui He soon saw Village Chief Zhao's house from afar. There were many people gathered in front of the village chief's house.
"Grandpa" Suihe shouted as he ran
The people who were still discussing turned back to look at the source of the sound. Seeing that it was Sui He, they turned around and continued to discuss.
"Suihe, here." Lin Youwang waved to Suihe, signaling Suihe to come over.
"How is it? How is it? What does the village chief say?"
"We are still discussing it. We will go to check out the homestead and the area. If it is small, we can give less money. If it is large, we will have to give more." Lin Youwang relayed what they just heard to Suihe
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "We have a big family, so we probably need a bigger place. I don't know if the money at home is enough. If not, I plan to go to the city to see if there is any work I can do after I settle down. I am strong enough to do some hard labor."
"It's okay, big brother. I'll go to town in a couple of days to see if there's any copying work. I can also earn some money to support my family." Lin Ze patted Lin Youwang's shoulder.
"Then I will take care of the family. I also have the strength to open up wasteland and farm the land." Lin Youcai also came over.
"Your family is indeed large and has a lot of labor. If you work hard, you will soon be able to live a good life," Sui He said comfortingly.
"Thank you for your good wishes. When my house is built, I will invite you to come and eat the housewarming dishes." The four of them joked with laughter.
Sui He noticed that a little head quietly poked out from the door of Village Chief Zhao's yard. It had a small bun on its head and stared at Sui He and the others with its round eyes.
Seeing Sui He looking at him, he quickly retracted his head. Sui He was amused by this action. So cute.
After a while, the little girl quietly stretched her head out again, bumped into a pair of smiling eyes, and her mouth moved as if saying something.
The little girl didn't hear clearly. When she reacted, the man had already walked away with the others. A small paper bag was stuffed into her hand. When she opened it, she saw a few small yellow things wrapped in it. She put it to her nose and sniffed it, then licked it with her tongue. Her eyes lit up instantly and she hurried back home.
"Mom, look, there's candy, lots of candy"
Suihe followed behind his second grandfather, looking left and right, comparing things secretly in his heart.
When they reached the foot of a mountain, Sui He's eyes lit up. There was a stream flowing there, and there were some trees around. If she built a house there, she wouldn't have to run so far to fetch water. This was simply her ideal place.
However, when she saw the size of the homestead, her mood instantly dropped. Although the land had a good environment, it was much smaller than she had imagined.
"What should I do?" Sui He was worried. At this time, she noticed a slightly larger piece of land next to her, but it was in a more remote location.
Sui He's heart moved, and she decided to go and see the land. She quietly left the crowd and came to the land. Backed by the mountains, there were no obstructions around, and the view was wide. The front door was not far from the stream. Although it was a little far from the village, it was not too far. Her secret could not be discovered by others. Living far away from the village would be much more concealed.
Seeing Sui He looking at this place, Master Chen walked over and looked around, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "This place is really good, with a wide view, far from the village, no one will disturb us, and it is convenient to do anything. Sui Sui, how about we build the house here?"
"Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa." Sui He nodded quickly. She had the same idea. She didn't know how to convince Second Grandpa, but she didn't expect Second Grandpa to bring it up himself.
"Brother Chen, are you sure you want this? But it's too far away. Why don't you build it next to us and be our neighbors?" Father Lin walked forward and began to look around, trying to persuade Master Chen to choose a new location.
"When people get old, they like to be quiet. I think this location is just right. It's not far from the village." The second grandfather declined Lin's father.
"Okay then." Seeing that he couldn't persuade the second grandfather, Father Lin gave up and turned to look elsewhere.
"Village Chief Zhao, we have chosen." Sui He shouted to Village Chief Zhao: "From here to here, it's all..."
Village Chief Zhao came over, looked at the area Sui He had indicated, and turned to ask Second Grandpa: "Are you sure you want this?"
"Well, we'll go here. Please excuse me, village chief." The second grandfather nodded and looked at Sui He lovingly.
Seeing this, Village Chief Zhao didn't say much. He took out tools to measure the approximate area and registered it: "Okay, I'll go to the city in a few days to get the land deed and transfer your household registration here at the same time."
"Thank you very much, Village Chief. We just arrived here and are unfamiliar with the place. I will have to trouble you to build the house when the time comes."
"Don't be polite, just tell me if you have any problem. I will definitely help you if I can." Village Chief Zhao was writing and drawing on the paper without even raising his head.
"Village chief, village chief..." Someone in the distance was shouting again
"Here we go, here we go. We are so busy every day." Village Chief Zhao shouted in that direction, "I'll go over first. You guys take your time to look around." Then he hurried over.
In ancient times, when there were no electronic products, communication was basically done by shouting.
