The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 89: Night talk

Chapter 89 Night Talk

It was completely dark when we came back from Liuyang Village. Li Yan, his ancestors, and his grandson had already cooked dinner and simmered it in the pot, waiting for Mo Yan's family to come back to eat.

After dinner, Mo Yan called the whole family to the room. It seemed that he had something important to say. Li Yan was not scornful. Knowing that it was not convenient for an outsider to listen, she went to another room to play with her grandfather.

Mo Yan took out a key, opened the big wooden box beside the bed, and actually took out a small wooden box from the space.

Seeing the small wooden box, the father and son all focused their attention on it. It was the wooden box used by their family to store money.

When the small wooden box was opened, they saw the thick banknotes and a pile of scattered silver inside. The two little guys opened their mouths like an O and their eyes were round. They looked at their father and sister suspiciously: Their family actually Have so much money?

Mo Yan looked funny and took out the account book at the bottom, which clearly recorded every expenditure and income of the family since the greenhouse was built.

Dad, our vegetable business has been in business for a total of one month and six days. After excluding the villagers wages and the cost of building the greenhouse, the total net profit is 2,056 taels.

Originally there were not so many, but in the past two days, tomatoes, cucumbers, loofah and other fruits and vegetables have been on the market one after another. In addition, at the end of the year, both wealthy families and ordinary people will save some vegetables for the New Year, so in the last few days God, business was surprisingly good, sales tripled.

Hey, so many?

Mo Qingze looked at the banknotes lying in the box with straight eyes. He was relatively indifferent to yellow and white things. It was only more than thirty days ago and his family had such a large sum of money. No matter how indifferent he was, he could not calm down. .

Xin'er couldn't wait to pull out all the banknotes and broken silver. She counted them carefully twice before she believed that this was not a dream. She stared at the banknotes for a while, not knowing what she was thinking.

With so much money, how many candied haws should I buy?

After Zhen'er finished speaking blankly, his second sister gave him a slap on the forehead. When he saw his father and two sisters looking at him with smiles on their faces, his little face turned red for a moment.

After the family laughed, Mo Yan said seriously: "In addition to these, plus the previous one thousand three hundred taels of silver, our family now has nearly three thousand four hundred taels of silver. When we build a house in the spring next year, I will budget it." One time, about eight hundred taels."

Eight hundred taels? You need so much?

Just after recovering from "three thousand four hundred taels of silver", Mo Qingze fell into the trap of "building a house for eight hundred taels of silver". His expression changed for a while, looking a little funny.

Dad, eight hundred taels is just a preliminary estimate, there may be more. Mo Yan calmly made a stab, and as expected, she saw her father looking unacceptable.

The house you live in should be as good as it is. In this era, wages were not high, and only the green bricks and tiles used to build houses cost money.

If you want to tidy it up better, such as decoration, it will cost more money. If you follow her heart, eight hundred taels may not be enough.

Our family has purchased seventy acres of land. Except for the ten acres at the front that will be used for orchards, I want to encircle the rest for planning later.

In my previous life, my family was not short of money, and the ancestral house I lived in was similar to a Suzhou garden. Not to mention how elegant the building was, the key was that the scenery inside was very unique and it was very comfortable to live there. Now that we have money, the building may not be as good as in the previous life, but at least it must be suitable for living.

Mo Qingze frowned, a little confused. He had seen the drawings of the house structure and liked the layout very much, but when he thought about spending so much money, he was a little unable to accept it.

The two little guys looked at their father longingly and could not say anything, but when they thought of living in a spacious, bright and beautiful big house, they were so happy that they were already imagining what the house would be like.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Yan dropped another heavy blow: "And dad, after the house is built, I will find an academy for you. You can continue your studies!"

"What?"

Poor Mo Qingze was so stimulated by his daughter's words that he felt as if he was in a dream, and his whole person became in a trance.

Mo Yan didn't push her. She had planned all these things for a long time. She wanted to tell her today because she wanted the whole family to be prepared!

After finally digesting the two things, Mo Qingze said: "Yan'er, there is no shortage of money at home now. You can take care of building a house. It's just a matter of going to the academy to study. It's not as simple as you think."

At the end, my voice was a little bitter.

Is it difficult to study in an academy?

Looking at his father's expression, Mo Yan didn't quite understand, but this matter was not urgent at all. There were two major official schools in the capital, as well as several private schools. After a few years, he could find a suitable one by asking around slowly.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Mo Yan said another thing that had been planned for a long time: "Dad, let's buy the barren hills behind the foundation and plant fruit trees for breeding!"

After the previous two things, the purchase of fruit trees in barren hills, Mo Qingze quickly accepted: "Yan'er, you can handle this matter. If you need me, just tell me. Is this fruit tree good to take care of first?" Not to mention, where are we going to get the tree seeds?

When it comes to tree species, this is exactly the difficulty Mo Yan faces, but she is not particularly worried: "Let's plant ordinary peach and pear trees first, and we will slowly explore other tree species. If there are none in the capital, we will go elsewhere." If you search, you will always find it.

It is almost impossible for fruits from the south to grow in the north, but she has space and spiritual springs, so this is not a problem. The most important thing is the tree species.

Seeing that his daughter was full of confidence, Mo Qingze couldn't say anything depressing. He just decided to go to the market village to look for her after spring, maybe she could really find her.

The family discussed some details about building a house. It was already getting late, and they thought that tomorrow was New Years Eve and they had to get up early, so they left after a few words.

In the dead of night, holding the warm and soft body of his little son, Mo Qingze had a lot of thoughts. He thought about many things in a daze, and then forced himself to fall asleep when the first rooster crow...
