86. Separation Agreement 6
"Good guy."
Both hands reached out and grabbed the wine in Erbo Lu's hand, but Xie Dahu quickly grabbed it and held it in his arms.
Xie Jianye shouted nervously, "Be careful not to drop it, the supply and marketing agency of this stuff has to sell it for eight yuan a bottle, and it's often out of stock? He's nn, it's been so many years since I've tasted this one? The banquet, so dozens of people only mixed a bottle, I finally got such a small sip, and the taste will never be forgotten in my life."
"You have tasted it, I didn't even mix a sip, Who are you going to cry for? No, I have to ask Brother Lu and sister-in-law to go to my house for dinner tonight, just the three of us. This wine is not much, how can it be enough for so many people to drink?" Xie Dahu hugged the wine bottle more and more, protecting it Tightly, I was afraid that someone would get an extra piece of the pie.
"You kid is really helpless, what's the point of a bottle of wine?" Xie Jianye looked at Xie Dahu with hatred on his face.
Xie Dahu was stunned, who was the one who just grabbed a drink with him?
Xie Dahu pouted and was about to refute him when he saw Xie Jianye turn his head and say to Xie Lao Si.
"Xie Lao Si, we didn't come here today to eat you a meal. We are serving the people. Now it's a new society, and we don't want to take every stitch of the people. If you leave it for dinner today, don't mention it! I don't want to mention us. I'll go to Dahu's house for dinner in the evening. We have a personal relationship with Brother Lu, and it has nothing to do with whether we eat or not."
"I'll just say you are..."
Xie Dahu Smack your lips, you really can't accept it. How good is it? But no matter how nice it sounds, in fact, the meaning is not the same. Isn't it because of fear that the wine in your mouth will be divided up by others?
"Brother Lu, we won't go home if we don't get drunk at night. Don't be afraid that you and your sister-in-law will go back late when it's dark and the road is far away. I'll ask my second boy to drive you back in a donkey cart." Xie Dahu saw that Er Auntie Lu had a little bit on his face. Hesitating, she immediately took the initiative to dispel her concerns.
Xie Dahu's second boy is not the one who drives the donkey cart in the village, but it does not affect his ability to drive the cart.
"Okay." Erbo Lu did not refuse this time, but responded readily. Aunt Lu also smiled and nodded, "I haven't seen my younger brother and sister for a long time."
"No, that old lady in my family is still talking about my sister-in-law." Xie Dahu laughed.
On the other hand, the fourth Xie, Tian Xiaoju, the eldest of the Xie family, Xie Changzu, Lin Meizhu, Lin Meizhu's first-in-law family, and the two sons-in-laws of Lu's second aunt, Xie Jiang and Xie Changgen, and even Lu Aijiao and Lu Aimei saw what was in front of them. The situation, everyone was in shock.
Especially Lin Meizhu's maiden family, they are from this village, and they have never seen these two talk to anyone so kindly and affectionately. Usually which is not a tiger with a face, but the most coercive. When you see someone who is dissatisfied with what you are doing, no matter what your identity is, you will scold you first and then again.
Aunt Lin, who was the most eloquent, shrank her neck and didn't dare to say more. Just now, they were so proud that they intercepted the sugar water that was supposed to be in front of Erbo Lu and the others.
What is this called? If I had known...they would really offend people badly...It's all Lin Meizhu's fault. Her sister-in-law's parents have such a relationship with the chief secretary and captain of the village. She can do not know? SHe didn't even mention a single word, and he even made a grudge with his daughter. Isn't this cheating on your mother's house? From now on, do you want to mix with your family in the village?
The Lin family's parents, aunt, several brothers, and sister-in-law all cast angry eyes at Lin Meizhu. Lin Meizhu shuddered and almost stopped crying - can you blame her? She really doesn't know anything.
Just when everyone was shocked that the personal friendship between Erbo Lu and Xiejiacun's first and second leaders was so good, Xie Jiang was the first to react, he came out and said with a smile, "Then I'll go and tell my aunt. ."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for everyone to respond, he quickly turned his head and left the courtyard of Xie Lao Si's house.
"Needless to say..."
Xie Dahu shouted, how could he stop Xie Jiang's footsteps. He sighed and smiled at Lu Er Bo and Lu Er Auntie, "Brother Lu, sister-in-law, you have a clever son-in-law. But he thought that what I just said was a scene. Hahaha."
"Tell him to run more. It's okay to go, young people, you have to run and run to be strong. Unlike our generation, when you get old, you don't like to move." Lu Erbo looked at Xie Jiang's back with admiration, and withdrew his eyes, in his heart. I finally feel a little comforted that there is finally one of the two sons-in-law who will come.
Xie Jiang went back to his home first, and simply learned the dialogue between his father-in-law and the chief secretary and captain of the village with his parents. Xie Qi and Luo Huizhen are both a little silly. When will the friendship between the in-laws and the chief secretary and captain of their village become like this?
Having been in-laws for so many years, they didn't know anything about it.
No wonder, it seems that since the eldest daughter-in-law entered the door, their family seems to have become more comfortable in the village. In the early years, the work arranged by the production team was easier than others, and the work points were still high. Even when the responsibilities are divided, it is a bit cheaper than others.
They said that they have no special friendship with those cadres in the village, so it turns out that all this is for the sake of the in-laws?
Luo Huizhen quickly recalled that it was okay, she had been very kind to her eldest daughter-in-law over the past few years, and had never provoked their husband and wife relationship in front of her son.
In fact, she is not only good to the eldest daughter-in-law, but also to the younger daughter-in-law who is not so powerful in her parents' family.
"Mom, don't stay there, hurry up and get me something. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have to eat at other people's houses at night. Can't eat and drink for free?" Xie Jiang couldn't help but feel a little anxious when his mother didn't move. .
"That's right. I'm going to get some bacon. There's a lot left over from your wife's family." Luo Huizhen said quickly. People also rushed to the kitchen in a hurry. After a while, they came out with a basket covered with cloth. "I also put three kilograms of dried noodles in it."
Xie Jiang took the basket and left before he could say more . .
Xie Laosi's side, the separation of the family went very smoothly.
Xie Jianye and Xie Dahu have always had high prestige in Xiejia Village. This is not only because they usually have a straight face, but also because they have a more fiery temper than the other. It also has a lot to do with the fact that they usually handle the disputes of various families fairly and justly and convincingly.
It is said that things gather together. Lu Erbo and the two started their friendship before liberation. After liberation, although they did not communicate too often in private, the distance was not far away. After all, a few people can often meet when they have a meeting in the village.
Erbo Lu's two daughters both married into Xiejia Village, Erbo Lu would not be so stupid to alienate them. When Lu Aiguo had something good to deliver to Xiejia Village, Erbo Lu would ask him to turn around and visit him every now and then.
Although Tian Xiaoju and Lin Meizhu were photographed with the prestige of the chief secretary and chief of the village, they still fought for their interests, but they restrained a lot after all. Don't dare to open the lion's mouth like the original plan. Xie Changzu remained silent.
The parents of the Lin family were also silent from beginning to end. Of course, no matter how many Lin family members come, the only people who can occupy a seat among the dozen or so people are Lin Meizhu's two parents.
Aunt Lin also wanted to sit down. As a result, Xie Dahu squinted and questioned her unceremoniously, whether she wanted to replace Lin Meizhu's father or her mother. She could only get up obediently, and consciously hide herself shamelessly while sulking.
87. Separation Agreement 7
Originally, the separation of the family required the participation of my uncle, but no one came from Tian Xiaoju's family. Strictly speaking, Tian Xiaoju's family is actually gone.
The one or two existing ones who can be said to be cousins are actually just distant cousins whose blood ties are no longer so close. In addition, there is no regular contact, so naturally no one thinks of inviting them to come.
According to the old custom, family division is a matter for men, and women are not involved. Although it has been liberated for so many years, such a concept is still deeply ingrained in the minds of many people.
Xie Laosi's family did not pay such attention this time. At his insistence, this time, in addition to the witnesses, the parents of the two daughters-in-law participated. Everyone in the family including their eldest couple, eldest son and second son also sat down together.
At the beginning, Erbo Lu said that he and his wife were here to watch, and they had no opinion on how they should split up.
In fact, the division of the peasant family is nothing more than fields, houses and family money, grain, livestock, and various household items.
There is nothing controversial about dividing the land.
Thanks to Erbo Lu, the nearby villages were among the first to distribute production to households in accordance with national policies.
When the production was distributed to the households, the villages were divided strictly according to the population in the household registration book. The land belongs to the country, so even if the family is divided, it is not divided according to how you want to divide it. It still has to be divided according to the average population.
So at the level of land division, even though Tian Xiaoju and Lin Meizhu showed dissatisfaction on their faces, after the two giants in the village, Xie Jianye and Xie Dahu, took the lead in speaking out. They are helpless, after all, there is no objection.
Then it's time to talk about how to divide the house.
Tian Xiaoju and Lin Meizhu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, immediately interrupted and changed the topic. First, they proposed that Xie Jiabao, as the eldest son and eldest grandson of the eldest house, must also be considered a share when dividing the family property.
They were already prepared to make concessions, so Fourth Xie, Xie Changgen and Lu Aimei did not fight much for their "excessive" request, and readily agreed.
Seeing how happy they should be, Tian Xiaoju and Lin Meizhu chased after the victory, and proposed that according to the old rules, if the family's house is considered ancestral property, it is reasonable to stay in the long house.
This time, Fourth Xie raised his head and looked at Lu Aimei, seeing that her face was light, so he looked at Xie Changgen again. Xie Changgen glanced at the fourth Xie, and then looked at Lu Aimei with a flattering look, "Dad, I listen to Aimei."
"What do you say, the second daughter-in-law?" The fourth Xie asked.
"Dad, I'll listen to you how the family is divided today. You decide. I'll just listen. Don't worry, no matter what you decide, I'll have no opinion."
Lu Aimei thought of what her mother had secretly told her just now, calling herself the person she was today. If you have suffered a big loss, you will recognize it. She simply expressed her attitude to Xie Lao Si in a straightforward manner.
"Okay, since the second daughter-in-law has no opinion, then I will call the shots." Fourth Xie looked at Tian Xiaoju and Lin Meizhu, and at his eldest son, Xie Changzu, and lowered his head when he saw that he avoided his eyes. There was a mocking look on Xie Lao Si's face.
"Originally, it was too much for me to promise Jiabao to divide the property according to an extra share. Now you have brought this up again. I have to know that if I promised to give you the whole house again, then you will continue to do so in the future. Are there any other excessive demands?"
"Where are our demands too much? Aren't they all right?" Tian Xiaoju looked straight at Fourth Xie for granted. In front of so many people, he didn't dare to show off. Treat her how, so she acts as fearless as she has never been.
The others were taken aback by Tian Xiaoju's "shameless" nature.
"No, no, that's all." Lin Meizhu hurriedly touched her mother-in-law with her foot and gave her a wink.
Fourth Xie ignored Lin Meizhu and still stared at Tian Xiaoju. Tian Xiaoju nodded uncomfortably when he stared at him, and reluctantly said, "No more."
"Well, since there is no more. Then I can also accept this one. But the two points you mentioned in the separation agreement. , it's all written in white and black, clearly and clearly, don't you have any opinions?"
Xie Laosi nodded, before waiting for their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to respond, and continued.
"There is one more thing that must be written clearly. In the future, no matter who the old couple is with which house, whether it is birth, old age, sickness or death or other reasons, we can no longer ask another son, daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter to pay or get things. , and even managed it. What do you think?"
"Dad, the family has been separated, of course it should be. Ancestor, do you think so?" Lin Meizhu also knew that her father-in-law was a little disliked by her now. So when he was talking, he couldn't help but pull Xie Changzu on one side. Xie Changzu quickly glanced at the fourth Xie with guilt, and nodded quickly.
"Why? Is the second child not my son after the separation? Is it still a violation of the law for my son to honor me? No, I won't agree." Tian Xiaoju was reluctant.
"Could it be that after the separation, you still plan to live with the eldest while still going to your younger son's house to move things, and asking your younger son to support you? If so, what kind of house are you still sharing today? Everything is cheap in the world. I told you to take up all the big houses. After such a good thing, other houses in the village will follow the same way, so do we people have to do other things? We will accompany you all day long?"
Xie Dahu finally endured Unable to bear, he spoke to Xie Changzu, "Xie Changzu, are you still a man? You are the eldest. Why don't you say a word to your mother? Or are you just thinking about taking advantage of your brother's family?"
"I didn't . "Xie Changzu's face suddenly turned red, and he whispered at Tian Xiaoju, "Mom, don't say it. I agree with what my dad said." He saw that Tian Xiaoju's face was still reluctant, so he again added, "If you really don't want to, or else, just follow the second brother and the others."
"No, I have to follow you. Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, and I agree." Tian Xiaoju agreed reluctantly.
"Xie Changzu, I can say it here first, your mother, you can control it, don't agree to this, and go back on it later. If the two of you make trouble because of this in the future, we can only talk to you." Xie Dahu glanced at Tian Xiaoju and said rudely to Xie Changzu.
"No." Xie Changzu bowed his head in embarrassment.
"In this case, in order to avoid trouble in the future, we might as well make it clear in the separation agreement. If you really go to the second child to ask for money and things in the future, then the house that was distributed to the big house today will have to be taken out again and Divided."
Xie Lao Si looked at Tian Xiaoju and explained it word by word.
88. Separation Agreement 8
Hearing this, Tian Xiaoju jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. But before she could speak, Xie Changzu got up with red eyes, and roared at her in a low voice, "Mom."
Tian Xiaoju sat down like a deflated ball, and was completely silent.
Now that both the fields and the house are fully understood, it's time to turn to another major focus - food.
Let's not talk about the food at home first, we mentioned the food that was still in the fields that were not recovered, so everyone discussed it. Before the crops in the fields are harvested, everyone is still doing the farm work in one place, and the food is also collected together, and then Divide according to the example that has been said at the moment.
The so-called good share is that the fourth son Xie and Tian Xiaoju each get one share, the eldest husband and wife one share, the second husband and wife one share, and Xie Jiabao another share.
That is to say, everything in the house must be counted according to five. It is equivalent to removing everyone's personal belongings, this time the second room is divided, and all the remaining properties can only be divided into two-fifths of the share.
Things are first divided from the food stored at home, such as rice, rice, noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. After dividing these animals, the next step is the necessary daily utensils such as tableware, water tanks, buckets, tables and chairs, and farm implements.
These bits and pieces can be clearly distinguished as much as possible. It's really impossible to tell the difference. In the end, the second room suffered a bit of a loss.
Everything was properly divided, and Xie Jianye and Xie Dahu, as witnesses, were particularly patient and responsible, and recorded every item in black and white. Finally, I began to divide the family's cash and various grain and oil cloth tickets.
The family's money has been in charge of Tian Xiaoju alone for many years.
This time, Tian Xiaoju took out all the bits and pieces, including eight yuan and fifty-six cents and food stamps of five jins and two taels, and then announced that all the family assets were these. Those other kinds of tickets, such as oil tickets, sugar tickets and cloth tickets, have all been used up.
Looking at the loose money spread out in front of Tian Xiaoju, they were stunned. The first thought was disbelief.
I am afraid that even the really poor people in the village will not only have these things, right? Although the life of Xie Laosi's family was not that easy, but according to the level of frugality in his family, it shouldn't be like this?
Even as the leader of the village, Xie Jianye, who had always been calm, almost broke his neutral position and interrupted.
To say that he and Xie Dahu have witnessed how many times the separation scene, but I have never seen such a scene. Sensing that the two wanted to speak, Lu Erbo quickly and secretly stopped them.
Seeing such a bleak figure, Xie Lao Si's face suddenly turned ashen. He stared at Tian Xiaoju with red eyes. Even if he hadn't inquired about the money and things at home, it wasn't that he really didn't have any money after all these years.
And most of the money was earned by his hard work and secrets. Although his legs have been lame in recent years, he has not lost his ability to support his family and make money. He would identify the medicinal herbs, go to the mountains to find some from time to time, and privately took the huge risk of speculation and put all the money in the hands of the old lady.
Even the two sons in the family didn't miss out on this matter, which led to the two sons always thinking that their family was extremely poor.
And when he is rich, it's not that he doesn't see how stingy the old woman is. Sometimes he goes too far and mentions it, but when he mentions it, it's a little better. After a long time, he became impatient and often said, and felt that the old woman's family had only a few cousins left, and he was not afraid of her moving things to her family's house, and everyone lived like this. I didn't take it too seriously, so I just let her go.
Thinking that according to his guess, he and his second wife and second daughter-in-law would have at least one thousand yuan even if they shared a little less of the family's wealth. He didn't plan to fight for the house at home, so he was happy to give up just now. He had already made up his mind, took the money and went out to build a house with his second wife and second daughter-in-law. With that thousand yuan, it's almost half of it, but he never imagined that his old wife would be so cruel, and he wouldn't even give him and the second room a way out.
"You can think about it, I'll ask you again, how much money does the family have?" Xie Laosi gritted his teeth, and the expression on his face could be regarded as hideous.
"You, you can't hit me anymore. We have already split up." The panic flashed on Tian Xiaoju's face, she resisted her guilty conscience and shouted, "We have many families, who doesn't know that our family is poor. It's been so many years, these are the only ones left, and there's nothing else left."
"Okay, good, good, very good!"
Xie Lao Si gasped heavily, and his whole body was almost confused. The forehead jumped suddenly. He still underestimated the greed of this old woman. He thought that her courage would only be hidden for 10-20%, 20-30%, but
Xie Lao Si took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, and said to Tian Xiaoju word by word: "It's fine if you don't regret it."
Anyone can hear the anger in Xie Lao Si's voice. Although he doesn't know the specifics, everyone can hear it-Tian Xiaoju must be hiding something, and the estimated number is large. Xiao, or I would like to thank the fourth child for not gaffe like this.
The whole place was suddenly silent.
"I have nothing to regret." Tian Xiaoju's whispered murmur was particularly obvious in this silence, and the people present heard it in their ears, and their thoughts were different.
Lin Meizhu's eyes flashed with secret joy. Xie Changzu opened his mouth with hesitation on his face. Finally, his eyes swept over his wife and children, and he chose to remain silent.
Lu Aimei's eyes did not fluctuate too much, but Xie Changgen looked at his father and mother with a very complicated look on his face.
Xie Lao Si finally gave up the entanglement. I looked at the three yuan and forty two cents and a pound of food stamps for the second room, which was written in the separation agreement. His face seemed to be crying instead of laughing, and he was constantly changing between crying and laughing, and finally he let out a long sigh.
All the people pressed their fingerprints, and the agreement was made in quadruplicate. Except for one for the first room and one for the second room, the rest were handed over to Xie Jianye and Xie Dahu to help keep one.
The matter of the separation was settled.
Xie Lao Si opened his mouth to borrow a house from Xie Jianye and Xie Dahu, and the two readily agreed, and promised to live for as long as they wanted, and they would charge a rent of two yuan every year. And on the spot, he agreed to give them a piece of homestead to build a new house, and then the two-bedroom Xie family agreed to give the second-bedroom three days to move.
The family is divided, and the people in the two houses will naturally have to separate their own business for the past three days.
After all the houses were completely divided, and the things distributed in each room were also moved to their respective houses, the time was approaching five o'clock.
89. Cheap is not Enough
Originally, according to the rules, the two families had to provide their own food, and the witnesses and their relatives were invited to have a separate meal together.
However, their witnesses, Xie Jianye, the brigade secretary of Xiejia Village, and Xie Dahu, the brigade captain, categorically rejected the efforts of the Xie family members to keep them, and they refused to stay at Xie's house for dinner.
In the end, the strong force of the second room pulled away both Lu Erbo and Lu Er Auntie, the in-laws of the second house.
Seeing that the family meal could not be eaten, the most unwilling person was Lin Meizhu, the eldest son and daughter-in-law.
She rolled her eyes and smiled at the fourth senior Xie, "Dad, even if the family is separated, we are still one family. Although the two families had a little disagreement in the past, the kinship is always there, right? Even if it is The cadres in the village refused to stay and have a meal with us. But at any rate, this meal is also a meal for our two families. We can't just break up without eating, right? Rice?"
She said while tugging at Xie Changzu, "The child is his father, you also persuade Dad, after dinner everyone forgets the bad things in the past, and they can help each other in the future, right? They are brothers after all."
Xie Changzu nodded quickly, what his wife said made sense. This division is divided as soon as it is divided, and it is divided so quickly and neatly. He really couldn't get used to it for a while. So I didn't expect so much for a while, and looked at Xie Lao Si sincerely and persuaded.
"Dad, what Meizhu said is right, we will get together tonight and have a good meal, and we will also clear up the misunderstandings between Mom, Meizhu and the younger siblings. We can't separate the family. Is the housekeeper really the same as the enemy?"
"The enemy?"
Xie Laosi looked at his eldest son with a sneer, "Have you had a disagreement with your second brother?"
"Of course not."
"Then what did you say? Just because the girls got together to fight, or the two bullied one one-sidedly. You were instigated by your wife and became a feud between two people? You are planning to even you don't even recognize your second brother?" Xie Laosi raised his voice and looked at Xie Changzu fiercely.
Xie Changzu's forehead began to sweat, and his voice trembled, "No, no. Of course I don't mean that, Dad."
"It's fine if you don't mean that."
Xie Changgen's eye knife swept past Lin Meizhu, ignoring her directly. In the end, it was nailed to Tian Xiaoju, full of warning, "Old lady, don't think that I will have nothing to do with you if the family is separated. Judging from the relationship between husband and wife over the years, this is my last time. Let it go. In the future, if you dare to play any tricks behind your back, don't blame me for being cruel."
Tian Xiaoju couldn't help trembling in her legs and feet, she forced herself to be afraid and shouted, "You still want to beat people? I'm not afraid of you anymore."
Xie Lao Si gave her a deep look, then turned his head away and said to Xie Changzu,
"You don't need to eat this meal. Now there are no witnesses left, your brother and sister's parents. I don't eat here either. It's not interesting to eat this meal. Just the food and money I ordered, originally, the second brother and I and my family were not enough for us to eat until the autumn harvest. We had to think of a way to borrow it. "
Xie Lao Si's eyes slowly swept over the eldest, the eldest daughter-in-law, the old wife, and more than a dozen people from the Lin family, full of ridicule and helplessness.
"If we eat this meal together again, I'm afraid that we would not have enough food for ten days and a half months. Tomorrow, your brother and sister and I should go to the mountains to dig grass roots and bark to fill our stomachs. I owe you the food."
Hearing this, Xie Changzu followed Xie Laosi's eyes to see the dozen or so people in the Yue family, and remembered the food that was distributed by his father, younger brother, and younger siblings. Then I thought about the two or three bags of rice that were hidden under the bed in my house.
His face suddenly turned red again, and he shrank his head and didn't dare to say a word, except for what he should be.
Lin Meizhu also looked at the dozen or so people from her parents' family, her eyes were still full of extreme unwillingness. At noon, they were willing to eat to the fullest. Isn't that because they ate more than one room's food, and if they didn't eat it, they wouldn't eat it?
But if you can't persuade the second room to join in and eat this split meal together at night, you'll really have to eat all of your own.
I thought that my family would definitely stay and finish the meal before leaving. Just letting herself entertain them alone, she thought about it, it still hurts.
No, even if the father-in-law has already said this, but she will not be reconciled if she doesn't work harder.
She rolled her eyes again, "Dad, isn't it a rule for every family to have separate meals? Why do you always break it when you come to our place? Doesn't the saying go, no rules can't make a circle?"
"Boss."
Xie Lao Si was impressed by how cheeky this eldest daughter-in-law was, but the more he did, the more he ignored her, so he looked at the eldest son with cold eyes.
"I can't talk to your wife. You will let your wife come to the second room less. If there is anything wrong, you can just come to the door by yourself. When she figured it out and sincerely apologized to your siblings, everyone will recover. It's better to communicate with each other. So that you don't feel awkward when you meet."
Lin Meizhu "..."
Her face was instantly red and white, and her whole face was distorted. In all these years, she had never heard her father-in-law speak to her so rudely. She was so angry that her back molars would be bitten off, but facing his contemptuous eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. It made her instinctively timid, and dared not continue her small calculations.
The Lin family, who were watching on the sidelines, stood there watching this scene as if they were watching a play, and no one came forward to say anything. Lin Meizhu's sisters-in-law and younger siblings even showed flashes of schadenfreude on their faces.
"Got it."
Xie Changzu lowered his head sadly and sighed.
--
Lu Aimei had some noodles for the first dinner after the family split.
A large bowl of noodle soup is filled with green vegetables, and then lies a fried egg that has been fried to a golden brown. When it is brought out, it makes people's appetite greatly increase.
The two children had two tenderly steamed egg custards, drizzled with a little bit of soy sauce, and the two children ate it with great appetite and incomparably sweet, giggling while eating.
When Lu Aimei saw the two children eating happily, she felt a sense of satisfaction. Being able to be the master of the house, and the feeling of being able to eat eggs if you want your children to be able to eat, is really very special.
Holding the noodle bowl, looking at the fried eggs in the bowl, Xie Laosi sighed, "Second daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be better to keep this egg for Dabao and Xiaobao to eat steamed egg custard, what should we eat ourselves?"
90. Suffering is not Necessarily a bad thing
"Dad, don't we have more than a dozen eggs left? How about two chickens that are laying eggs? Dabao and Xiaobao will not worry about running out of eggs every day."
Lu Aimei said disapprovingly, her thoughts shared with her mother-in-law , is different from most people in the village who are reluctant to eat eggs.
"Besides, all of you are doing physical work all day, and you don't eat much oil and water each time. If you go on for a long time, the iron man will fall. How much can you save for money and things? It's not as good as After eating, it's okay to be simple in other places? As long as you can change your body, it's the same as rotten meat in the pot. It's not a disadvantage at all."
Xie Lao Si nodded, lowered his head and concentrated on eating noodles. , but my heart seems to be overturned. I have lived my whole life, but the second daughter-in-law has seen this clearly.
"Wife will feed the child for me. The noodles are almost mushy, so you should eat it yourself." Xie Changgen also bowed his head thoughtfully, then accelerated the speed to eat the whole bowl of noodles, and reached out to pick up the one in Lu Aimei's hand. Bowl, smiled at her with a flattering face.
Lu Aimei didn't say a word, handed him the bowl with a blank face, lowered her head and started to eat her own portion of noodles.
"Second daughter-in-law, don't worry, I'll figure out the money for building the house. Without the money from the separation, our new house can still be built next year."
Fourth Xie said to Lu Aimei in silence for a while, " In the future, you can follow your heart with family affairs, and Changgen and I will not interfere with you. Don't worry about money matters. After the two days of moving, I will ask Changgen to follow me up the mountain. Go. The few medicines I planted last year should also be harvested."
"Dad, when did you start planting medicines? Why have I never heard of it?" Xie Changgen was stunned, and Lu Aimei looked at her father-in-law suspiciously. .
"I know more. Before liberation, your grandfather opened several drugstores, and he was considered a wealthy man with small assets. Your father and I grew up in drugstores. Identifying and concocting drugs is like eating and sleeping. , it's all too familiar."
"But Dad, haven't our family been farmers for eight lifetimes, and have been poor peasants with strong roots since their ancestors? How could there be any pharmacy?" Xie Changgen was stunned.
"Listen to Dad." Lu Aimei tugged at Xie Changgen's clothes, Xie Changgen snorted blankly, and looked at Fourth Xie suspiciously, what the hell is going on?
"That's a long story, and it's not worth mentioning after it's passed. This Xiejia Village is actually considered, but it can't be regarded as our real hometown. As for where our hometown is, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that you know that our ancestors were indeed It's surnamed Xie, your grandparents and father's adoptive father are all buried here."
Xie Laosi recalled the past and sighed for a while, but obviously he didn't plan to say more.
"In the past few years, I have picked a lot of medicinal herbs from the mountains and sold them secretly by virtue of my ability to distinguish medicines. Later, when I got older and lacked energy, I began to try to find places to grow medicinal herbs in scattered places on the mountain. Xie Lao Si said slowly, "I didn't keep a cent of the money. I was thinking of splitting up the family. We just don't want the house. Probably the cash we got will be enough to build a new one."
Xie Changgen and Lu Aimei took a breath of cold air.
Lu Aimei was silent, no wonder her father-in-law was so furious when the family split up, he thought that her mother-in-law would hide the money, but he didn't expect that she would dare to hide so much that Xie Chang and red eyes wanted to rush out, "I'll go find my mother. "
"Come back."
Xie Lao Si stopped him, "Do you think she will recognize it if you find her? If this matter can be brought to the table, I used to be afraid that you would accidentally leak it out when you were young, and I would also hide it." With your brothers?"
"But" Xie Changgen was really frustrated with his old lady. How cruel is this? Can you be so clean, separate your family from your father? Completely disregarding the lives of these people. Why didn't she think about herself, she still had two grandsons waiting to be fed to survive?
"There's nothing wrong with it, as long as there is a craft, you can't starve to death anywhere in the world. In the future, whenever you have free time, follow me up the mountain to learn this skill. In fact, you don't have to go too far, it's not dangerous.
" A sentence was also said to Lu Aimei, "You remember every place where I planted medicine. I'll take you to sell the medicine when there is a chance in the future, but there is one thing, the money we make in the future, you will have a chance to sell the medicine. You are not allowed to keep all the money, it must be handed over to your wife, and you will ask your wife for it when you want to spend it."
"I promise to do it all in the hands of Aimei. But, Dad, sell medicine. Is it reliable? If someone catches this, is it still speculative?"
Xie Changgen first flattered Lu Aimei and patted his chest loudly. In his opinion, it is a matter of course for the money in the family to be managed by the wife -- didn't his father and mother do the same thing in the past?
Just when it comes to selling medicinal materials, he suddenly looked at Xie Lao Si a little hesitantly.
"I've been working for more than ten years and I haven't been caught. You can be caught as soon as you go? If you're afraid, forget it." Xie Lao Si looked at his second son with a bit of disappointment.
"Dad, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid, I, I'm just asking, asking" Xie Changgen didn't dare to look into his father's eyes, he quickly shook his head, and stammered.
"It's been a few years now. Besides, this herbal medicine can also cure diseases and save people. One is not worrying about sales, and the other is a good deed." Xie Laosi sighed again, "It is said that it will give us three days to move, but the sooner the better. . Tomorrow you follow me over there to clean up the house, and ask your wife to stay at home to watch the children. If you can move, it's best to move tomorrow, if not, we will move out the day after tomorrow at the latest."
" Okay."
Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, let alone your daughter-in-law, even I don't want to talk to you. You have to think about it carefully, use your brain in everything, and don't live to be a pig at your age. go on."
Xie Lao Sijing was also a little disheartened about this matter, so he warned his second son, "No matter how much your mother complains to you in the future, what you say, what you want, you have to come back and talk about everything big and small, don't hide it. Go ahead. Don't be soft-hearted. Even if you really want to help, you have to come back and discuss with your wife, don't do some sneaky things. You have to believe that your wife is not such a heartless person, and you can watch your mother starve to death. It doesn't matter."
"If you are cruel, your mother is the one who is really cruel. Once again, your real wife and I will not care about you. I will live next to my grandson in the future, and rely on my grandson in the future. "
Xie Laosi became ruthless for a while, and when he was free, he would take out those things by himself, keep 20% or 30% for himself, and give the rest to the second daughter-in-law as compensation for her. Anyway, the old lady has the money there. Retirement is nothing to worry about.
In the future, there is no need to worry about the boss's room. If they can do well, they don't make much noise. In the future, let's talk about it in the future, if it's a big deal, the 20-30% will be counted as their share.
