When Gu Beizhi and Guan Zhou arrived, the old village chief was still flipping through the book.

"Father, Gu Dalang and his husband are here." Da Rong said first.

"Let's bring it in." The old village chief glanced at the paper he had memorized and felt that it was almost the same.

"Uncle is early." Gu Beizhi and Guan Zhou came in together.

"Early, come and sit here, I'll tell you two about the location of the land first, and the two of you will discuss where to buy." The old village chief went straight to the topic, seeing that Gu Bei knew that they were both in a hurry.

"Okay, Uncle, tell me." Gu Beizhi pulled Guan Zhou to sit down and waited for the old village chief's introduction.

The old village chief was talking to the book and the note of memory, piece by piece.

"There are three middle fields to be sold. One is Wang Erhu's house. The land is in the south of the village, next to the official road. The price is 15 taels.

"The second place belongs to Wang Yangzi's family. His family plans to sell the middle field to buy the upper field. There is no grain in the land, and the price is fourteen taels or seven dollars. It is north of Wang Erhu's home."

"The last place is next to Beacon Hill. A piece of land at the foot of a mountain..." The old village chief glanced at the two when he said, "The price is 721 mu, and it belongs to Wang Fu's family."

"There are three places in total, you two can discuss it, and give it to me after negotiation. Xin'er, if you want to see the land, ask the boss to show you around." The old village chief closed the book and put the note in it.

As soon as he said he could go and have a look, Guan Zhou pulled Gu Beizhi's sleeve, and Guan Zhou talked more at home, and he didn't like to make a sound when he went out.

"Then let's take a look first, and come to see the old uncle." Gu Beizhi felt that his sleeve was pulled twice, and then he understood what Guan Zhou meant.

Darong took the two to look at the location and conditions of the three plots of land. The two plots in front of them next to the official road were similar. Although they were not comparable to high-grade fields, they were quite good for medium-sized fields.

But Guan Zhou is more interested in the piece of land near Bijia Mountain. That piece of land was a wasteland that was opened ten years ago. At that time, nearly ten acres of land were opened. Once it was opened, it could be planted without much cultivation.

At that time, the people who pioneered the wasteland thought they had picked up a bargain, and it was indeed a bargain, but the location of the land was not good, it was too close to Beacon Hill.

Beacon Mountain is the closest mountain to their village. This mountain is not high, and beyond this mountain, there is a valley, and there are many fruits in the valley.

The mountain that sandwiches the valley with Beacon Mountain is also a low mountain, and then it is a high mountain.

It is precisely because they are here that the mountains are next to each other, one after another, and there must be many animals in the mountains.

But it turns out that there is no such thing as a wild boar, and the Beacon Mountain is not high. It takes one hour for an adult man to climb from the upper foot to the top of the mountain, and the younger brother needs to be slower.

The men in the village would go up the mountain to clean it up every two weeks. One was to open a mountain road, and the other was to prevent the beasts from coming to Beacon Mountain. They didn't know it.

Usually, people often go up the mountains to chop wood, go to the valley to pick fruits, etc. It stands to reason that there should be no wild boars that harm the fields, and I have never encountered them before.

But even after Wang Fu opened up the wasteland at the foot of the mountain, when the autumn harvest came every year, the few acres of land closest to Beacon Mountain would definitely be in trouble.

Thought it was man-made at first, Wang Fu's family also took turns to watch the night, waiting to catch personal loot and get it.

It turned out to be a wild boar!

Not even one!

There were five wild boars, big and small, struttingly rolling in the wheat fields that they had worked so hard to plant for a year, nibbling on the wheat that had already tickled ears.

But the Wang Fu family was angry and distressed.

But there is no way.

The hunter in the village was called and he planned to kill the wild boar. The hunter directly told them that he couldn't do it. The five wild boars were so powerful that it was no joke.

It's going to kill you if you don't get it right.

It's strange to say that these five wild boars only cause trouble in the fields of Wang Fu's house, and never come to the village. If there is any trouble, they will immediately run back to Beacon Hill.

But leave it alone, I am afraid it is not the Wang Fu family that suffers.

After the old village chief discussed with the elders of each family, he organized the young and strong men in the village to make traps and chase and block them before killing two wild boars.

At that time, the pork was distributed to every household, and the whole village was as happy as the Chinese New Year.

The only unhappy one is Wang Fu's family, and three wild boars have escaped. What if there is another disaster for his family's fields?

So this became Wang Fu's heart disease. Even if two years passed and the wild boar disappeared, he still felt that the land was not good, and he sold everything he wanted, and then bought a few acres of high-quality land.

Guan Zhou was attracted to Wang Fu's land. He had a small idea in his heart. If he bought the land closest to Beacon Hill, maybe it would be cheaper.

Da Rong was walking in front, and Guan Zhou was pulling Gu Beizhi's sleeve at the back, and whispered to him.

But Gu Beizhi really didn't understand this, so he made up his mind to listen to Guan Zhou from the beginning, and now listening to Guan Zhou counting the benefits of Wang Fu's land, Gu Beizhi smiled and nodded, indicating that Xiaozhou said are correct.

The two of them discussed it and followed Darong to find the old village chief.

"Uncle, we want to buy Wang Fu's land, the two acres near Beacon Hill." Gu Beizhi said.

The old village chief disapproved at first. He also felt that sooner or later the wild boars would have to climb over the mountain to harm the fields at the foot of the mountain. In that case, a year's work would be wasted.

"Uncle, it just so happens that I don't have to pay taxes. These two acres of land are quite fertile, so I plant them just fine."

Gu Beizhi successfully persuaded the old village chief with these words, and asked Darong to call Wang Fu to discuss the price in person. thing.

The two acres of land are still planted with grain, but they are very sparsely planted, and those who care for them are not caring, but there is always some output.

With three months of experience at Bao Yixuan, Gu Beizhi is now able to bargain, but his bargaining seems too... gentle and slow to make people anxious.

Guan Zhou simply talked to Wang Fu himself, but Gu Beizhi didn't mind, and looked like he'd listen to him. He watched Guan Zhou shrewdly pressing down five coins, and he didn't even need to give money for food in the fields. .

Wang Fu just wanted to get rid of this heart disease quickly, even if it was cheaper.

They quickly negotiated. Wang Fu went home to get the land deed, Guan Zhou went home and got the money, and signed the deed in front of the village chief.

Wang Fu took the money and went home with a blushing face, while the old village chief asked Gu Beizhi about the time, decided a good day, and went to the town to complete the rest of the formalities.

After they left from the village chief's house, Guan Zhou's suppressed smile couldn't hold back completely. He was always silly along the way, and his hands were always touching his chest. The land deed is here.

Gu Beizhi was afraid that he would fall into the pit while walking, so he opened his hand behind him, but he would not touch him, and protected him all the way without Guan Zhou noticing it.

"Beijing, let's eat stewed meat today!" Guan Zhou decided with a smile on his face, "After saving five hundred cents, let's buy two catties of meat and stew it!"

"Okay, I'll go to the butcher to buy it later."

"Yeah . Well, if you want to drink, you can also make a small pot." Guan Zhou suddenly said something in a low voice, looking rather confused, as if he wanted Gu Beizhi to hear it, but he didn't want him to hear it.

Gu Beizhi smiled, reached out and touched his head, almost messing up his hair, "No need, why don't you buy some luwei back and eat it with the whole family."

"Okay~" Guan Zhou's worries disappeared. He immediately agreed, that is to say, he didn't really want Beizhi to drink.

Gu Beizhi saw that he had become active again like a little fool from the pitiful appearance just now, so he couldn't help but patted his head again, this time Guan Zhou's coiled hair was really messed up by him.

But they also went home, and it would be good to go back and re-comb.

Guan Zhou told the two children to eat stewed meat for noon today. Dabao and Erbao were all jumping up and down with joy. When Gu Beizhi went to buy meat, they must follow them, singing while walking, and they were very happy.

At the same time, the news of Gu Beizhi's purchase of land was like a gust of wind, blowing all over the village, and in less than half a day, the whole village knew about it.

"Have you heard? The prodigal son of the old Gu family bought the land!"

"Is it worth hearing? I watched it in the morning. The village chief, Da Rong, led Gu Dalang and his husband, and stayed in the Erhu and Yangzi fields. Later, I went to the land of Wang Fu's family at the foot of Bijia Mountain."

"Then do you know which piece of land Gu Dalang bought in the end?"

"Hey, it should be because there is not enough money in hand, Guan Zhou asked him to buy it from Wang Fu's family."

"Why did you buy it? If you don't have money, you won't save any more. You have to be swollen and fat. What's the need?"

"What do you know? They bought two acres of land at once. My family only has a tael of silver left, and it's only been three months. I've already bought the land, and they're still slapped in the face to make them fat?"

"I think you're jealous of Gu Dalang, haven't you been eyeing Wang Fu's land for a long time? If Wang Fu doesn't sell it to you, it's useless to keep an eye on it."

"What are you talking about? Who wants to buy Wang Fu's land, don't buy it today and be kicked by a wild boar tomorrow."

"Look at your poisonous mouth . Yes, I don't even bother to care about you." After speaking, the husband who had washed his clothes by the river packed his things, turned his head and left, leaving the other husband with a face full of embarrassment.

The matter of Gu Beizhi's purchase of two acres of land was spread in the village in different forms of dialogue. The second uncle Guan was the first to know, because Gu Beizhi sent a bowl of meat at noon and bought the land. told them about it.

Second Aunt Guan also went to Gu's house to chat with Guan Zhou in the afternoon, and when he returned home, he told Second Uncle Guan again. After the couple finished speaking, they both beamed.

"Did Xiaozhou really say that?"

"Ah, that's not true, I also read it, then Gu Dalang can listen to Xiaozhou now, and ah..." Er Aunt Guan chuckled.

Uncle Guan pushed her, "Old lady, don't sell me, and what's wrong?"

"When I came back, I ran into Jiaxing's family, and told me that I watched Gu Dalang protect Guan Zhou to go home in the morning. "Second Aunt Guan finished the second half of her sentence.

"The family of Jiaxing also said that, looking at the strength of Gu Dalang's rare boat, he held it in his hand and was afraid of falling."

Uncle Guan didn't believe it.

"It looks pretty good to me, by the way, his father, you will take the second child to Xiaozhou's field for a while, there is no one in his family who can farm, and we will plant it in the future. "

Hey, I know, I'll go right now." Second Uncle Guan quickly got off the kang and beckoned his son to go to the field.

Guan Zhou's parents also heard about the Gu family's purchase of land. They didn't believe it at first, but after everyone said it, they knew that Gu Beizhi had made a fortune in the past few months.

"Guan Zhou, an unfilial son, doesn't even know how to get some money from his parents' house when he earns it. He has been raising it for so many years!" Guan's father scolded.

"That's right, Dad, do you think we should go to the door and talk about it? I heard that they had a pot of stewed meat for noon today. It's been a long time since our family has eaten meat!" Guan Mu also agreed, while Saying that, I couldn't help but suck.

"Shut up! Go to Gu's house and try it out, then Gu Dalang wanted to beat me up last time, didn't you see?" Father Guan snorted, "It's your fault! Even a little brother will teach you Not good, stay away!"
