In the east room.

Cui Jingwen and his sister were studying the form for recording the work of making small dishes. Their mother said that it must be concise and easy to understand, and it would be best if there were no other words except the three names.

Because Old Mrs. Cui is illiterate.

After observing for a few times, Lin discovered that Mrs. Cui was particularly concerned about management matters and would go to the threshing ground several times a day.

Perhaps she was afraid that Silang was too young to control the villagers who were working, or perhaps she simply wanted to save face. Regardless of the reason, Old Lady Cui kept a close eye on the threshing ground.

This time the work is being done in their own yard, so Mrs. Cui will only pay more attention to it, so it would be better to let her supervise it.

The brother and sister were biting the pen and gesturing, while Xiaoliu was sleeping soundly beside them.

Lin was in the outer room, meeting a row of bright little eyes.

Xiao Wu raised his little face and said, "Aunt San, can we really move in with you?"

Lidong hugged Xiaowu nervously, hoping to get a real answer from his aunt.

Just now, the fourth brother said that he wanted to build a new house, and the second brother scolded him not to be so proud of himself after making a little money. As a result, the fourth brother brought up the third aunt in the next sentence.

Third Aunt bought some land and actually asked them to come over and build a new house together!

Fourth brother must have heard it wrong!

Lin smiled and took a bench for them to sit down.

Erlang solemnly held up a bag of copper coins and said, "Aunt San, this is all the money we've saved recently, a total of two taels and five cents. Do you think it's enough..."

Erlang's voice became smaller and smaller. His younger brothers and sisters were young and only knew that Silang had earned money, but they didn't understand how much money it cost to build a house.

Before coming, he calculated several times in his mind that after buying the land, the money he had would not be enough to build even a house, so he planned to buy a piece of land next to his third aunt's house first, and then build the house when he had enough money.

Cui Zhaozhao heard the noise outside and came out of the house, bringing out two pieces of peach cakes to treat them.

The peach cakes were bought at the market. One piece was the size of a palm, cheap, and not made with white flour. Cui Zhaozhao usually ate them as whole grain biscuits to grind his teeth.

"Let's go, Auntie San will show you the land."

Cui Zhaozhao wanted to go together, but was rejected by Lin, so he could only stay at home and continue painting the watch.

Wooden sticks were placed at the four corners of the land as boundaries. The children trotted around the area and returned to Lin to catch their breath for a while.

"Aunt San, how many houses do we need to build on such a large area?"

Silang was closer to Lin, so he asked what he was thinking about.

"Don't build the whole house, buy it first, maybe it will be useful later."

Silang pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, "Aunt San, are you going to build a workshop?"

Lin looked at the land in front of her and nodded slightly: "With this plan, the threshing ground will soon be unusable. We need to hurry and build the workshop."

Silang hesitated to speak. Even a brick kiln didn't require such a large piece of land. How big a workshop did Third Aunt want to build?

"Don't think about it. First, look at where you plan to build your house and how much land you need."

Mrs. Lin planned to build a bigger front yard and move it back ten feet from the original house. After determining the approximate location, the children all said they wanted to live next to Mrs. Lin.

Seeing that Third Aunt agreed, the children whispered for a while and then enclosed a piece of land of one and a half acres.

Go home.

According to the price of one tael of copper per mu of land, Erlang counted the copper coins. Lin took the money and roughly counted it.

The family also needs to settle accounts clearly, and this is done for the children to see. Since it involves money, it must be counted clearly in person when handing it over.

Lin found another piece of cloth to wrap the purse and returned it to Erlang.
