Chapter 313 Buying 2 more acres of wasteland

Passing by, he asked, "An Guo, what are you so happy about?"

Shen Anguo smiled innocently and replied: "Sister-in-law, my wife is pregnant."

"You're pregnant! Congratulations, you're going to be a father."

Lan Qiuhua came out of the house with a smile: "Wen He, come in and sit down."

"No, Aunt Lan, congratulations, you are going to be a grandmother."

"Congratulations." She looked at Shen Anguo, "Go and tell your father, he doesn't know yet."

Shen Erniu was busy helping them build a house and did not come back.

"By the way, Wen He, I don't have enough eggs at home, so I want to buy some from you. I won't accept them if you give them to me, I must pay for them."

Ji Wenhe nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll give you a discount."

Their two families have a good relationship, and she would feel embarrassed to ask for the price in town.

"Hey, wait a minute. I'll go back with you." Lan Qiuhua carried the basket and said to the people in the house, "Xiao Lian, lie down and don't get up. I'll go to your sister-in-law's house to get eggs and be back soon."

"I understand, mother. You can go ahead."

The two walked side by side, and Ji Wenhe put the basket next to the shed and came over to get it later.

"My daughter Xiaolian vomited a lot this morning, so I asked a doctor to come and check her pulse. He said she was pregnant. I finally felt relieved."

"Aunt Lan, you didn't think she was infertile before, did you?"

"That's not the case. I'm just worried that it will be difficult for her to get pregnant. I've even thought about asking a doctor to come over and give her some medicine."

She wanted to invite a doctor over at the beginning of last month, but her daughter stopped her and said to wait and see for two months. If she still couldn't get pregnant, it wouldn't be too late to invite a doctor over.

"Xiao Lian is weak and too thin. She needs to eat something good to replenish herself."

Ji Wenhe took out the key from his arms. There were two keys in the house, and another one was behind the kitchen stove, pressed by a stone.

"So I came to your house to buy some eggs. If you go to town at the end of the month, bring me a pound of pork."

"I won't go at the end of the month. Brother Shen and Yuanshan will go. Please tell Anguo and have him tell Brother Shen."

She nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to him when I get back."

I carried out a basket of eggs from the corner, and in another basket there were duck eggs and goose eggs, but not as many as chicken eggs.

Lan Qiuhua looked at the basket full of eggs in amazement: "Wow, so many eggs, how much would they sell for in town? It must be that the chickens are well raised."

Ji Wenhe picked up the clean ones and handed them to her: "They will only lay eggs if they eat well."

"That's true. You can feed them with grain in the future. If you feed them well, you can harvest dozens of eggs a day."

"By the way, Wen He, if you have money, buy a stone mill and grind the corn into cornmeal, which can be used to feed chickens and pigs."

"Aunt Lan, chickens can eat corn kernels. If I buy something else and grind it into cornmeal, wouldn't that be redundant?"

Lan Qiuhua explained: "Mix the cornmeal with wild vegetables. The corn you grow on your wasteland is not enough to feed so many chickens."

"Besides, your family sells goods. You can grind the good corn into cornmeal and sell it, saving the money for purchasing goods. Besides, it's not just corn that can be ground, but also beans, rice, and wheat."

Ji Wenhe nodded in understanding: "Come back and discuss it with Brother Shen."

She didn't know how to grind cornmeal, so she bought some and asked someone for help.

Lan Qiuhua took the eggs from her hand and said, "That's enough. I'll have more after you finish them. Fifteen in total, forty-five cents."

"Aunt Lan, just give me forty cents." She put one more in.

"Hey." He felt around in his arms and realized he forgot to bring money. He smiled and patted his thigh, "Look at my memory. I'll bring it to you later."

"Don't worry Aunt Lan."

"Wait a minute, I'll go get it." Lan Qiuhua stood up and walked out with the basket, "Wen He, I'll bring it right over."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Hey, I'm not afraid of you running away."

She laughed twice and quickened her pace down the mountain.

Lock the door and walk slowly down the mountain.

Lan Qiuhua said it well just now. Buying a stone mill will be very useful.

Looking at the corn on the wasteland, I suddenly felt that there was still not enough land at home.

If the family doesn't need to purchase goods, it can save a lot of money.

"Wen He, come here, I'll give you the money."

Ji Wenhe turned around and said, "Aunt Lan, I will accept it without hesitation."

"Of course I have to accept it. If you don't, I won't come to your house to buy eggs in the future."

He took the money she handed over with a smile.

"Wen He, you are busy, I will go back to take care of Xiao Lian."

"Hey."

He put the money into his purse and carried the basket to the pigpen.

The two acres of wasteland on the other side of the road were planned to be divided between the twins.

If you plan to grind flour and sell it yourself, two acres of land will not be enough, so it is best to buy two more acres.

She forgot one thing, she forgot to calculate the purchase price. She didn't know whether Shen Rongshan didn't remember it or he remembered it but didn't tell her.

Five hundred catties of black flour, twenty catties of brown rice, coarse flour, and corn flour, and five catties of fine flour would cost nearly one thousand five hundred coins to purchase.

I can earn more than 600 Wen per month, and if we split it between two people, it's only more than 300 Wen.

Starting from this month, until March of next year, in nine months, a person will have less than three taels of silver in his hands.

I also bought two acres of land for them, and planted beans, corn, etc. at home, which were ground into flour, saving the money for purchasing goods.

During the Chinese Valentine's Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to past experience, and with the large amount of money made this time, the dividends should not be less than seven taels.

I will save the dividends I get this time, put them aside and keep them for emergencies.

Ji Wenhe saw Shen Rongshan and waved to her, motioning him to come over.

When the other person came closer, he told him what he was thinking: "Brother Shen, go find the head of the village and buy two acres of land and write the names of the two brothers on it."

"After this, we won't buy them land or anything else. Let them earn it on their own."

He nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and get the money."

They had four acres of wasteland, enough for growing crops.

The remaining wasteland will not be distributed to them, and if they want to buy more land, they have to pay for it themselves.

Ji Wenhe looked up at the sky. As a sister-in-law, she should be considered quite good for having achieved this.

From now on, they will have to rely on themselves!

He poured the pig grass onto the wooden rack of the pig pen. When he came out, he saw Niu Guilan coming over: "Aunt Niu."

"Hey, I see your Rongshan is heading east, it looks like it's heading to the village head's house, are you planning to buy some more land?"

"I am planning to buy two acres of wasteland. I borrowed six taels of silver from Uncle Da Nian some time ago, and I have some money left, which is enough to buy two acres of wasteland. In the future, I will grow crops on the wasteland and grind rice and flour to sell, saving the money for purchasing goods."

"Hey, aren't the three brothers planning to split up? Whose name should be written on the land deed?"

Ji Wenhe did not hide it. If she told others, it would be a good thing for the two brothers to get married: "Write their names, one acre each."

Niu Guilan gently touched her shoulder and said, "Wen He, your family is planning to give two acres of land to the two brothers, so why are you buying them two acres of land? You are stupid. After the family is divided, how they live is their business."

"You have to spend a lot of money to build houses for them, buy fields and wasteland, so keep the money in your own hands and don't spend it all on them."
