Bai Ruozhu's eyes couldn't help but widen, she knew that Zhou Dehai had a good relationship with her father because of his cousin Zhou Deshun, and she also knew something about the Bai family's old mansion, but she didn't expect the other party to say it so directly, even if she understood that the other party was kind, she was also a little surprised, because in memory, Zhou Dehai was a very cautious person.

Zhou Dehai scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Originally, I shouldn't have chewed this kind of tongue, and it was not easy to talk to your father, but I was really afraid that you would be bullied, especially when your baby was about to be born, and Changsheng was not around, it was not easy." ”

Oh, this sounds like something else, Bai Ruozhu pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"I had dinner at your house that day, and when I went back, your uncle seemed to be a little drunk, so he said something to your grandfather, and I happened to be walking not far behind, and I accidentally heard it. Probably afraid that Bai Ruozhu would think that he was overhearing people's words, Zhou Dehai also emphasized that he was "careless".

"What did my uncle say?" Bai Ruozhu hurriedly asked.

Zhou Dehai lowered his voice a little more, and said: "Your uncle said that your family has the money to build a new house, and set up such a good banquet, it seems that life is good, and I don't know how to think about them, give so much filial piety money every month, and ask your grandfather to ask your father, don't let your father be taken into a white-eyed wolf by his daughter-in-law and daughter." ”

Bai Ruozhu noticed that Bai Yibo was talking about "daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law", and did not mention his grandson, which shows that in the eyes of this kind of person, daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are outsiders, not from their old Bai family.

"I didn't know that your uncle was so excessive, if you let him know that you have money in your hand, you have to pick it up, he will definitely give it to you from Changsheng. Zhou Dehai said again.

Bai Ruozhu smiled at Zhou Dehai and said gratefully: "Thank you Uncle Zhou for reminding me, I must not say it, I only dare to ask you to help me Zhang Luo when I buy land, Changsheng will not come back for a while, this land is to feed our mother and son, and it cannot be robbed for the sake of the child." ”

"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped, and I won't let your old mansion know. Zhou Dehai said seriously, his own daughter Zhou Taohua is fifteen years old this year, not much younger than Bai Ruozhu, looking at Bai Ruozhu and thinking of his daughter's carefreeness, he felt extremely unbearable.

"By the way, Uncle Zhou, what did my uncle say when he said that?" Bai Ruozhu asked curiously.

"Your uncle scolded your uncle at that time, saying don't talk nonsense outside, and asked your aunt to help your uncle go back and rest. Zhou Dehai said.

Bai Ruozhu didn't speak again, the old man just told Bai Yibo not to talk nonsense outside, but he didn't say that he was wrong to calculate the second room like this, it seems that the old man also listened to it, and felt that the second room should be better and should be wiped out.

In the end, they are sour and rotten, and they don't want to go to the ground, so they are counting on the second son who has been a cow and a horse all his life to pick up money. But when the second room is having a hard time, can the old house think about helping?

In the memory of the predecessor, there was not much land before the Bai family was separated, but every year when the farm was busy, the old man and Bai Yibo refused to go to the ground, even if Bai Yibo went to the ground, he was like playing, only Bai Ruozhu's family was tired and desperate.

Her mother is about to become a strong laborer, and her eldest brother is almost on top of other people's strong laborers when he is fourteen years old, so many people in the village praise his eldest brother for his diligence and hard work. Even the second brother, who has been studying, is also every day, don't look at him thin, he is not much worse than the eldest brother in his work.

After the second room was separated, the land of the old house could not be planted, and it should have been rented out for others to plant, and the rent was collected every year, plus the old man's talented rice was enough for the family to eat and drink. It's just that I don't know what the old man thinks, but I probably think that renting it out is not cost-effective to grow it myself, so I finally kept half of it for myself.

The result can be imagined, without Bai Yihong's work like a cow, the land is stumbling, the harvest is not very good, and when the farm is busy, you have to call Bai Yihong's family to help over, of course, Bai Yibo usually comes to call people, and the name is beautiful: It is time for you to honor your father and mother.

There was no way to face this situation in the past, but in exchange for Bai Ruozhu now, she was reluctant to let her parents and brothers at home suffer with her, so she decided to persuade her father and mother to buy some land, and then rent it out to collect rent.

"Uncle Zhou, you help me look at the land in the outer village, it doesn't matter if it's far away. Bai Ruozhu said after thinking about it.

Zhou Dehai understood, "Okay, I can help you see from afar, how much land do you want to buy?"

"The current land is about one more acre?" Bai Ruozhu was a little worried, and he had no concept of this in the memory of his predecessor.

"It depends on the quality and location of the land, there are seven or eight taels, there are twelve taels, and if it is sand or woodland, it will be cheaper. "Zhou Dehai is very good at this.

Bai Ruozhu calculated, the silver she earned before couldn't buy a few acres of land, plus it cost her eldest brother some money to build a house, as well as the cost of her production, it was even less pitiful.

She squeezed out a wry smile, "I can only buy three or four acres, and I don't need too good land." ”

Zhou Dehai heard that she was short on money, and immediately said: "Three or four acres is already good, and there are a lot of harvests in a year, so Uncle will help you watch each other these days." ”

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly touched a handful of copper coins and stuffed them to Zhou Dehai, "This autumn and summer are still heavy, if you want to trouble Uncle Zhou, please ask Uncle Zhou to drink tea." ”

Zhou Dehai was embarrassed to accept it, and pushed it and said, "Uncle watched you grow up, how can he collect your money?"

Bai Ruozhu dodged and didn't take back the money, and said with a smile: "It's one thing to have a good relationship, and it's another thing to entrust people to do things, if Uncle Zhou is polite to me, I'm embarrassed to trouble you if I have anything in the future." ”

Zhou Dehai saw that Bai Ruozhu said it was refreshing, and it was not good to refuse, after all, there were many people, and it was definitely not good to be rumored to be to the Bai family's old mansion, but he did appreciate Bai Ruozhu's ability to be a person, and thought that he must do things beautifully for Bai Ruozhu.

When Zhou Dehai left, Bai Ruozhu was called into the house by her mother, and Lin Ping'er asked a little puzzled: "Ruozhu, my mother seems to have seen you stuffing money to Zhou Dehai just now, is there something wrong?"

Bai Ruozhu guarded against other people who came to help, but she didn't protect her relatives at home, so it was not surprising that her mother saw it. She talked about her negotiation with Zhou Dehai, and by the way, she talked about her idea of buying land.

"The money is all earned by you, you decide how to use it, my mother has no opinion, and she will definitely support you. Lin Ping'er thought that something had happened again, Bai Ruozhu asked Zhou Dehai for help, and when she heard that it was such a good thing as buying land, she was instantly relieved.

Bai Ruozhu's eyes were bent into crescents, "I'll ask my dad later, my dad still knows the things about the field best." ”
