Chapter 32 Some things should be let go
Dinner is as simple as ever. Because there is no meat, Mu Yun just uses a little rapeseed oil to fry a mushroom and cabbage. The staple food is still yellow noodle pancakes.
It may be because of the hard work that Joey ate this dinner very deliciously.
After eating, before it was dark, Joey picked up the newly bought ax and began to clean up the weeds around the house.
"My wife, it's getting dark, and there's no rush for this job. You'd better rest first."
After Mu Yun finished speaking, he was about to take the ax from Qiao Yi's hand.
"It's not dark yet, so I'll do some work first. I'm not tired anyway. I'm going to clear this area and build a house here."
Qiao Yi dodged Mu Yun's outstretched hand, and pointed at the weeds that were as tall as a person in front of him.
"Joy, Joey, are you there?"
At this time, the voice of the village head came from down the slope.
"It's here."
Qiaoyi responded loudly, then handed the ax to Mu Yun, and then walked down the slope.
"Village Chief, why don't you come up? Go in and sit down?"
Qiaoyi looked at the village head standing down the slope, and warmly invited him.
"I won't go up. This is the title deed of the wasteland, and this is the house deed. After your house is built, go to the government to get your fingerprints and measure the specifications of the house."
The village head quickly waved his hand, so she didn't want to go up and sit down. The last time is still vivid in his memory.
She doesn't want to sprain her ankle.
"The village chief thank you so much."
Joy didn't force it, and carefully took over the land deed.
"This wasteland will not collect tax money within five years, but after five years, whether you open up wasteland or not, the tax money must be paid. Normally, 50% of the harvest is taxed, and wasteland is 30% for five to ten years, and ten percent 50% after the year. If there is no land reclamation, then the minimum tax rate will be collected, ten cents per mu of land."
The village chief was afraid that Qiao Yi would not know, so he explained the important relationship.
In this way, Joey has a good idea.
This wasteland is not something you can buy or open whenever you want.
"Thank you village chief, I see."
Joey was not surprised at all that taxes would be collected.
Anyway, it will start after five years, and she will not be short of this little money by then.
"It's good to know, then I'll go back."
"The village chief walks slowly."
After seeing off the village chief, Qiaoyi looked at the two pieces of paper in his hand, feeling a little emotional.
Just these two pieces of paper cost twelve taels of silver.
"Mu Yun, you put away this land deed."
Backing to the courtyard, Joey casually placed the land deed on the table in the courtyard.
"understood."
Mu Yun responded, then carefully put away the two pieces of paper, then turned and entered the room.
Joe guessed that Mu Yun probably hid these two pieces of paper.
Now that the land deed is in hand, other things are simple.
Before it was dark, Joey cleared out a piece of ground about ten square meters.
After that, I washed and went to sleep.
The next morning, the Mu brothers all got up early.
When Qiao Yi woke up, it was just dawn, and Mu Yun and the others had already prepared breakfast, and even the dry food for the mountain.
"I'm going with you."
After breakfast, Mu Qing looked at Qiao Yi ready.
"Okay, let's go together. Do you want to go together?"
Qiao Yi looked at Mu Yun and Mu Chen. Anyway, two are belts, and four are also belts.
"I won't go, there is no one at home."
Mu Yun shook his head. In fact, he also wanted to go into the mountains with Qiao Yi, but yesterday Qiao Yi said that people might come to the house in the next few days, and it would be bad if there was no one at home.
"I'm not going either."
Seeing that his second brother didn't go, Mu Chen also shook his head.
He was afraid that following him would be a burden. He was not as skilled as his elder brother, less courageous than his second brother, and weak in strength.
"Well, I'll take the two of them there today, and tomorrow they'll look after the house, and I'm taking the two of you there. Be good at home."
After Qiao Yi finished speaking, he was about to pick up Xiaoxue, but Mu Xuan had already hugged Xiaoxue in his arms first.
Taking four baskets, the three walked out of the house.
"Second brother, will the wife master really take us up the mountain tomorrow? Will I drag the wife master down?"
Seeing the three of Qiao Yi gradually going away, Mu Chen spoke enviously.
"How can you be a burden, you are the smartest among us brothers. Chen'er, there are some things you should let go of. We are already married."
Seeing Mu Chen's confused face, Mu Yun sighed deeply.
Now that they are husbands, some things should not be thought about.
"Second brother, don't worry, I won't hold you back. I know I'm married and I can't think about some things anymore, but please give me some time."
He understands the second brother's worries. Now that he is married, he can't allow him to think too much. Even if the wife let him go, he won't be getting married again.
The Mu family can't afford to lose face like this.
If he is abandoned, then he has only one dead end.
"Well, you just know what you have in mind."
Mu Yun sighed, then walked towards the river with a basket.
There is not much work today, he intends to peel some more shrimp, so that the wife will be very happy when she comes back.
The three of Qiao Yi have already entered the mountain. According to the marks left before, they can pass without hindrance.
By the time the three arrived at the place where the wild grapes grew, the sky was already bright.
Looking at a large piece of purple wild grapes with water droplets in front of him, Joey swallowed.
I couldn't wait to pick a bunch, and then put it in my mouth, and I was slurring it, it was very sweet.
Qiao Yi didn't eat alone, and picked a bunch of deep purple ones for Mu Qing and Mu Xuan.
"The dark purple wild grapes are sweet, and the blue or light purple ones are not ripe. Don't pick them, they will be very sour."
While eating, Qiao Yi did not forget to spread knowledge to the two of them.
"Can this really make wine?"
Mu Xuan was eating sweet wild grapes, his eyes full of suspicion.
Such sweet wild grapes can make wine?
Not to mention anything else, the taste is too bad.
He has never drank wine, but he has smelled it. It is definitely not something that can be brewed from wild grapes.
"This wine has many flavors, one of which is called fruit wine, which tastes sweet. Now I tell you that you don't understand it, and you will know when it is brewed."
Joy didn't ask too much. After eating a few bunches of wild grapes, he started picking.
"Be careful when picking, don't break the grapes, otherwise purple juice will flow out, and it won't wash off your body."
Three people working together is not comparable to one person.
Soon all four baskets were full.
During the period, Qiao Yi also secretly filled a lot into the space.
Looked up at the sky, it was not yet noon.
It's a little early to go home now.
"You wait here, I'll go around and make a few traps, and see if I can catch prey tomorrow."
"I'll go with you."
Mu Xuan was originally sitting and resting, but upon hearing what Qiao Yi said, he immediately stood up.
Qiao Yi glanced at Mu Qing, and seeing his firm expression, she knew that Mu Qing would not wait here either.
Looking at the four full baskets, Joey could only get a bunch of weeds and cover the baskets.
"Xiaoxue, remember this place, we will come back later."
Qiaoyi made a mark, but just in case, he still asked Xiaoxue.
The double update starts today, and it will be updated at 12 noon for the time being. If there are special circumstances, I will notify you in advance.
