Chapter 147 Choosing a Good Place
Chapter 147 Choosing a Good Place
Grandma stroked An Yue's forehead and said softly, "Yue Yue, I still say the same thing. As long as it makes sense and you have made up your mind, we will believe you and support you."
Grandfather took An Nian's hand and said, "I think Yueyue already has a preferred place in mind. Without further ado, take us to have a look and help us decide!"
The grandparents and grandchildren walked eastward and first came to a wasteland covered with thorny bushes.
My grandfather stood at the edge of the wasteland with his hands behind his back, looked around, and said, "This wasteland is located at a low position. If it rains heavily for a few days in a row, water will easily accumulate in front of and behind the house, causing the house to collapse. The terrain is also uneven, so it will cost too much money to reclaim it."
The wasteland was rejected, and then An Yue led them to a slope.
Although there are still various shrubs and weeds growing here, the terrain is flat and close to the one acre of black soil at home, and of course not far from the An family's old house.
The most important thing is that An Yue also likes the forest behind.
Uncle Jiang Chenghai asked doubtfully, "Yueyue, there is a forest behind this mountainside. Are you sure this is the right place?"
An Yue smiled at her uncle without saying anything, and her eyes slowly moved to her grandfather.
Since coming to this wasteland, my grandfather has been walking back and forth, sometimes squatting down, sometimes climbing to the top of the mountain to look around.
Finally, he walked to a flat area, considered it carefully, and said, "There is such a flat land halfway up the mountain. It doesn't take much manpower to open up the wasteland. This place is good."
"It's not bad here. It's far away from the vicious wolves of the An family." Grandmother squatted down and said while hugging An Nian.
Grandfather walked up to An Yue, stroked his beard, pointed to the back mountain and said, "This place is backed by a mountain, facing north and south, with a wide view and bright sunshine. The terrain is also quite promising for gathering treasures."
An Yue said tentatively: "The terrain here is unique. If the price is right, Yueyue would like to buy the forest behind it as well."
When my grandfather heard what An Yue said, he blinked several times and thought quickly.
He slowly sat down on the mound of earth, took out the wrapped dry tobacco from his pocket, put it on the pipe and prepared to smoke for a while.
Then, An Yue squatted down and approached her grandfather and said, "Yueyue thought so. If we can buy the back mountain, we can also get the wood for building the house nearby."
"Besides, after we buy the back mountain, my sister and I can go up the mountain to collect firewood without any worries. In the near future, this back mountain will be of great use!"
Uncle Jiang Chenghai asked curiously, "What else is it for?"
An Yue made a face at her uncle Jiang Chenghai, stuck out her tongue, and said playfully: "Lulele... I won't tell you, hehe..." After that, An Yue ran away to the east of the wasteland.
This piece of wasteland was unanimously recognized by everyone, and An Yue finally felt relieved.
After being mocked by An Yue, Jiang Chenghai complained to his mother Zheng: "Mom... look at this girl Yueyue! She is so irritating!"
Seeing An Yue still so lively and cheerful despite such a disaster, the grandmother couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Chenghai saw that his mother was laughing at him, so he just went and brought her back.
Jiang Chenghai chased in the direction An Yue ran, saying as he ran: "Good little Yueyue, you asked your uncle to help you do something bad, but your uncle did it without saying a word!"
"You are hiding something from your uncle, you are such a heartless person! If your uncle catches you today, you will have to go back to the Jiang family with us, haha... I will punish you by making you cook for every meal!!"
An Yue ran in front and said, "Grandpa and grandma, uncle is bullying the weak again! You guys should take care of him..."
The uncle and nephew were running at the edge of the wasteland, chasing each other. An Nian stood with his grandparents, and when he saw that his uncle was about to catch up with his sister, he clapped his hands to encourage his sister.
"Sister, run! Uncle is catching up with us!"
In this way, An Yue ran in front and her uncle chased behind.
Suddenly, An Yue screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground.
Jiang Chenghai watched An Yue fall, and hurried forward to check the situation, and asked, "Are you hurt?"
An Yue shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just slipped on the stone!"
The grandparents led An Nian to trot over to An Yue. The grandmother quickly squatted down and checked An Yue's feet, and asked worriedly, "Yue Yue, did you fall anywhere?"
An Yue stood up, waved her hands twice, and replied nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's just a little scratch."
After saying that, An Yue patted the dirt off her body. She walked forward a few steps and found that they were several long stone slabs. After years of wind and sun, the stone slabs were covered with moss and weeds.
An Yue lowered her head and looked carefully again, and found some palm-sized pieces of stone nearby.
An Yue pointed to the floor and said, "This is great!"
My grandmother pretended to be unhappy and scolded me, "You kid! Your legs are all bruised and you still say 'OK'!"
The grandfather standing behind couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha... you old woman, the child fell down, do you really have to sit on the ground and cry for a while before you feel good about it?"
When my grandmother heard what my grandfather said, she immediately broke into laughter and felt embarrassed for being exposed.
She stood up with a smile, raised her hand and slapped her son Jiang Chenghai on the butt, and said with a smile: "You don't act like an uncle! You deserve to be beaten!"
An Nian, who was standing aside, was actually covering his mouth and laughing.
"Mom...you are too biased!" Uncle Jiang Chenghai complained.
Grandfather smiled and coughed twice, then said in a serious tone: "Okay, stop making trouble! While it's still early, let's go back to the village chief and look at the terms and conditions for purchasing the wasteland and barren hills. Let's try our best to buy all the wasteland and barren hills."
The grandparents and their grandchildren walked towards the west of the village.
Entering the courtyard gate, the village chief was carrying a hoe and Qin was carrying a backpack, as if they were getting ready to go out.
"Uncles and aunts, Yueyue has been chosen!"
After hearing what An Yue said, the village chief gently put down the hoe from his shoulder and said, "Oh?! Which piece of wasteland did Yue Yue choose?"
"It's on the hillside not far from the An family's old house, and Yueyue also wants to buy the back hill as well."
"Yueyue, that place is a good one, but there are a lot of gravels there. Besides, the soil is poor and it is impossible to cultivate crops there!"
"Hehe...Uncle, those gravel will have another use. The barren mountain is close, so it will be close enough for us to collect firewood later!"
After Qin put away the backpack, she walked up to An Yue and said lovingly with a smile, "Girl, you have so many ideas in your head."
Grandmother put her hands on Anyue's shoulders, smiled and said to Qin:
