Liang Chuan cured He Baozheng's cow. When He Baozheng heard that he was not the first to suffer, he immediately took the cow rope and prepared to take the cow home. He also invited Liang Chuan and his brother to his home. He could not express anything after being favored by others. There was no such reason.

He Baozheng asked Liang Chuan and Zhaodi to sit at home, and led the cow to the cowshed and added a handful of fodder.

At this time, a young woman came in from outside the door, wrapped in a headscarf on her head and not letting her hair fall down. She held a little girl in her left hand and held a half-slapped water in her right hand. She walked in directly without any expression on her face.

He Baozheng happened to return to the central hall, and suddenly saw a woman coming in with a child, and did not scold or say anything else, but his face was so dark that ink could drip out of it, and his breathing was obviously a little messy.

The young woman led the child to He Baozheng, and Liang Chuan stood beside her, as if she thought Liang Chuan and Zhaodi did not exist. She looked straight at He Baozheng from beginning to end until she walked to He Baozheng, pushed the little girl to He Baozheng, and said, "Niuer, why don't you call grandpa quickly."

The child was only three or four years old. Although he was wearing simple clothes, he was quite clean. His little face was white, but he was not very rosy. He looked at He Baozheng timidly and called him all his life according to her mother's instructions: "Grandpa."

The little girl's voice sounds quite nice and looks a little unfamiliar, and it makes people feel sad in their ears.

He Baozheng was in his forties. It was normal for him to be his grandfather in his forties. His hair was white, which was more commensurate with this title. However, He Baozheng's mouth was like a dry chimney, so dry that he could not make any sound. He looked at the little girl who greeted him with heartache. His eyes were a little red, and a sound came from his throat for a long time and said, "Well...well..." A pair of rough big hands caressed the little girl's head lovingly.

The young woman did not speak until He Baozheng spoke, "Dad, there is no rice at home, I will bring a girl to borrow some rice from you."

He Baozheng heard what she said, and the muscles on his cheeks were trembling with a look of trembling Liang Chuan and Zhaodi, looking at him, as if the volcano that had been held in a long time was almost erupting. The blue veins on his forehead were too high. He glanced at Liang Chuan and Zhaodi next to him, forcibly suppressed his anger, pointed to the inner room and said, "Go and find your mother, she is inside."

The young woman still had a face without any expression, and led the little girl into the house without saying a word.

Seeing her like this, He Baozheng was helpless and said, "Oh!"

He Baozheng looked at Liang Chuan and Zhaodi and said, "It makes you laugh." Liang Chuan knew that this was his own family matter. No matter how much he said, it didn't sound good to others, so he didn't respond and asked directly: "Where did we just talk about He Baozheng?"

"You really want to buy land?"

"This is natural. My family was burned last night, so the whole family must have a place to go."

As the person in charge of Helu Village, He Baozheng has to take responsibility for all the troubles in this village. Ordinary trivial matters are fine, he can solve them himself, but if he encounters a major case such as robbery, murder and arson, he must report to the county government and ask the county to send someone to solve them. If he does not report it in time, the county will also hold him accountable for his dereliction of duty.

Last night, he didn't know that Liang Chuan had burned the thatched house. Now, after hearing Liang Chuan's explanation, he would have to ask clearly if he had a correct answer in the government office.

"What's going on? Is it gone?"

"I don't know what happened yesterday. Yi Niang and I were sleeping and the roof suddenly came to me. The fire was too hot. A good house was just a bunch of shit left in a while."

"It's not arson by man, right?"

"That shouldn't be. When we ran out, we also saw other people. Besides, Yi Niang and I usually go out less and deal with people less. This should not offend anyone and make people revenge."

"That's good. Someone in Huitou County asked you about this. Since the house is burned, I need to start another one. How do you want to build it and do you know where to hire a master?"

Liang Chuan looked around at the house where He Baozheng lived, and smiled and said, "I think He Baozheng's house is very good, tall and bright, just like you."

When He Baozheng heard Liang Chuan's words, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out of his mouth. When he looked at Liang Chuan's eyes straightened, his mouth was a little trembling, and asked, "It's not that I'm too much. I think I'm busy with these real estates passed down from my ancestors, and I have never had the ability to work hard for my ancestors. If you want to give me a face to my ancestors, you can neither do business nor serve crops. Do you have the ability to build such a big house?"

Liang Chuan knew that others would be suspicious, and there must be a reasonable explanation for this issue, so he said: "I met Zheng Yuanwai from Xinghua a few days ago. He was a good person. He borrowed me some silver to help me overcome difficulties when I encountered difficulties. I don't have that ability. He Baozheng, I don't have the ability to do anything that you can't do even He Baozheng."

He Baozheng smiled and missed his grandfather's charm a little. Although his memory was a little blurry, it still reminded him of his grandfather's enthusiasm for building this big mansion. At that time, he was still a yellow-haired boy, and now his hair and beard are gray. Time is unforgivable.

"I borrowed you? How much can I borrow? When my grandfather bought this mansion, he spent thousands of stagnant money. Didn't I say you, there are such a big landlord in Xinghua that can borrow so much money? I will introduce it to the old man, and I will borrow some from him, so I can give it aside interest."

Liang Chuan was not poor, the more he explained, the worse he would be.

Seeing that he didn't speak, it was boring to ask too much other people's money, He Baozheng said, "I can't control how your money comes, but as long as it is money of unknown origin, I will definitely give you the official position. You must be careful."

Liang Chuan smiled and said, "He Baozheng, please give me ten thousand hearts. My money is clean. If the origin is unknown, don't bother you to send me to the official position. I will surrender myself to the magistrate!"

He Baozheng was worried about the government and sent him to the government for three words. Such enthusiastic village cadres are really rare!

At this time, He Baozheng's daughter had already led the little girl out of the inner room. The half-pool of gourd was filled with snow-white rice. The little girl was still timid and looked scared when she saw anyone. The woman's eyes were filled with tears. She held back the tears and took the child through the three of them and walked back directly.

Liang Chuan and Zhaodi stood up like trees on the roadside, without any reaction, and did not dare to react until the two backs, one big and one small, disappeared outside the door. He Baozheng sighed heavily, his face seemed to be getting older.

"I'm fine with everything, but a few children make me unhappy... heartwarming!"

He Baozheng continued the words just now: "Liangchuan, you are not from our Helu Village, but after you build a house and buy land in our Helu Village, you will be from now on the Helu Village. We Helu people are upright, and we should be worthy of our ancestors and our descendants, so that we cannot poke our backbone. This is my warning to you by someone who has experienced it."

Liang Chuan said with a serious look on his face, "Boy has been taught."

He Baozheng said: "Since you have decided to join our village registration, I can't be too stingy. I will do what I should do if I should help. How big is the land you want to buy?"

Liang Chuan said: "Our yard extends a little bit outside, which is almost as big as the land of your house, but I may occupy a little more, and I will build a few more houses at that time."

He Baozheng looked at it, thought about it in his mind, and said, "Then you can buy two acres. In the future, you can't finish the more you want. You can also build one in the yard and plant a lot of flowers and plants."

"Two acres, wouldn't that be a little too big?"

"Big? You can buy one acre, and you can buy two acres. It's not that bad. If you are a little bigger, it's your own home. Besides, the land near your home is cheaper, so no one wants to give it to you."

"Don't those lands cost two cents of money per acre? Why don't you give it to everyone if you are old?"

"Two jin? Why don't you grab it? Those dry lands can be worth hundreds of cents, hehe, two jin of cents, you see the fertile paddy fields on the south bank, and those fields are only four or five jin per acre, and those fertile paddy fields are not the same price as these dry lands that can't make a few jin of grain. How can you hear that the land in front of your house needs two jin of jin?"

Why are the land on the north bank deserted? There is dry land on the north bank? Although there is one side of the south stream, the height difference of the river bank is too large and the water cannot be raised. It’s okay to follow the riverside, but no one wants the land near Hulu Mountain at all, and it’s worthless.

Those dry lands are the same as mountains, and Fengshan has many mountains, so no one wants to plant them even if they are given away for free.

Liang Chuan didn't go to see Zhaodi either. He touched his head with his hand, laughed, and said self-deprecatingly: "That may be because I heard it wrong. That's right. I think that many of these lands are deserted and no one goes to plant them, so how can they be valuable?"

"These land is not valuable and cannot produce food. However, as long as the land is in your own name, you must pay taxes to the government on time according to the number of land acres every year. Do you think about whether this kind of land is good or not in your own name?"

Liang Chuan didn't speak.

"So these lands are deserted. They have left He Lu's place and fled the land. Occasionally, there are people who come back, but there are too few. He Lu used to have many excellent young men, but now there are fewer and fewer males. Maybe in a few years, our village may be gone. Now, the good young man, if he has money, he will go to Xinghua. Who is still guarding this place?"
