Chapter 14 I have something to tell you
The old Fan family eats while squatting - the dining table was chopped into two pieces by Shuiqing before.
That was the only table in the house.
Everyone holds a bowl and squats down at random under the eaves.
Except for the seven-year-old Fan Zhaodi, who is used to it, the others who are used to sitting down to eat are all uncomfortable.
First, he blamed Shuiqing - why did he chop the table for no reason? Now, no one has a seat.
Then he blamed grandma - she didn't let the two granddaughters sit at the table to eat. Now there is no table, so there is no need to be particular about whether to sit at the table or not.
The eldest son of the Fan family rushed home before dark, holding a bowl, and complained to his wife: "Tell me, what have you done."
She asked him to go out and hide, saying that before he came home, he could force the second son's family to agree to sell the eldest and second daughters, so he didn't need to worry about it, and the matter was done.
As a result, when he came back, the second son and his family separated and lived separately.
Daya was given away, and Sun Jinhua cooked dinner. She was already angry, and she argued with her neck stiff: "What? The three blue brick houses belong to our family;
We only gave away five sacks of grain, one of which was wheat bran;
We didn't give them a penny, and I didn't do a good job? Ask around the village, how many women are as smart and capable as me!"
She felt sad just thinking about the two kilograms of brown sugar and six old hens that were given away, how could she not eat the greedy second brother's family to death!
Boss Fan frowned, took two bites of mushroom and wild vegetable porridge, and said vaguely: "We are not losing money by supporting the second son's family, why should we divide them?"
Sun Jinhua was unhappy, "Why not? The second son doesn't eat much at home, but Hu Shuiqing and the five kids eat every meal at home!"
"The eldest and second daughters eat little, and the three little ones can't eat much, but they do all the work at home and outside, and the second son can bring money back home;
I am the eldest son and the eldest brother. Even if we don't divide the family, these three blue brick and tile houses are for our family to live in, and the second son's family can't occupy them." Boss Fan sighed and analyzed.
Sun Jinhua felt a little guilty. They did make this plan before. Didn't Hu Shuiqing make it clear that the mother-in-law had money in her hands?
Thinking of the money in the mother-in-law's hands, she hurriedly shared the news with the head of the family.
Boss Fan's frown relaxed, lowered his head and leaned closer to ask quietly: "Are you sure?"
His mother has never been good at managing the family. Other families are getting better and better, but the Fan family has to sell land and land until their grandchildren have difficulty getting married.
Did the mother keep something?
The money is still in the mother's hands?
"It can't be wrong. Think about it. The original land of the Fan family is more than twice as much as it is now. All the money earned by the second son was handed over to the mother. How could there be nothing?" Sun Jinhua also leaned closer and said affirmatively.
Boss Fan pondered for a while and hummed, "You did a good job."
Sun Jinhua smiled and boasted proudly, "Just wait and see. Once the second son's food is eaten, they will sell the land sooner or later!"
Boss Fan still felt distressed when he thought of the five sacks of food, "Five sacks are too much, three sacks are enough;
The second son should not be allowed to choose the hill first, you should give them three unconnected hills;
The good land can be divided out for mother first, and then the first and second houses can be divided according to the number of people..."
Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu heard it, came forward and complimented, "Dad, you are still thoughtful!"
"We don't know what's going on. Seeing that my uncle is smiling and polite, we thought we wouldn't lose anything, so we agreed."
"If you were at home, my uncle's family would definitely not be able to take away so many things!"
Sun Jinhua also felt a little regretful at this time.
Regret for sending the head of the family away and letting the second son get more things.
Fan Sanzhu and Fan Sizhu were secretly shocked after hearing it.
Daddy doesn't consider his younger brother's uncle at all, and the Fan family also has half of his uncle.
And the eldest and second brothers obviously agree with what Daddy said.
They looked up at the house above their heads.
Will they have a share in the brick and tile house in the future.....
Fan Lao Da thought for a while and then said, "You should stay away from Lao Er's family. Don't be soft-hearted and give them food when you meet them, okay?"
Fan Dazhu and others immediately protected the wild vegetable and mushroom porridge in their bowls and replied, "Don't worry, Daddy!"
"It's so hard to save six mouths to eat, I can't give them a bite to eat."
"Dad, you don't know, the aunt disliked the thin porridge that grandma scooped for Da Ya and Er Ya at noon. I'm afraid that their family is eating bran and vegetables now"
Fan Lao Da snorted and said unhappily, "They don't know what's good for them. They will suffer hardship in the future."
"Dad is right!"
"Tsk, the mushrooms in the porridge are good, and we'll eat mushroom porridge tomorrow." Fan Lao Da smacked his lips and commented.
Sun Jinhua didn't say anything.
Fan Zhaodi, who was drinking porridge in the corner, said timidly: "Dad, Zhushan was given to my uncle, and the mushrooms were picked by Daya and Erya."
Daya and Erya no longer belong to their family.
Sun Jinhua rolled her eyes at her daughter and said sternly: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Fan Zhaodi shrank her neck and dared not speak.
Fan Lao Da has always adhered to the principle of "a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen" and has always believed that cooking is a woman's job. After hearing this, he said indifferently: "Only Zhushan has it?
If there are some in other places, you, your mother and your grandmother can go and pick some up tomorrow."
Fan's mother, who was squatting and drinking porridge and was furious, was unhappy when she heard that her own eldest son had arranged a job for her!
She shouted: "Why? I raised you and suffered so much.
You got married, your children are grown up, but instead of taking good care of your mother, you let her pick mushrooms! "
Boss Fan looked unhappy.
It's just picking mushrooms, how tiring can it be.
His mother is not old, but she is already thinking about retirement. She really knows how to enjoy life.
But thinking of the money in his mother's hand, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and told Sun Jinhua: "Then take Zhaodi to pick them tomorrow. "
Fan's mother was satisfied, while Sun Jinhua was dissatisfied but dared not say a word.
Forget it, it's just mushrooms, they are everywhere, just pick them up and mix some vegetable leaves together to cook, it's better than the second brother's family who have no vegetable garden and can only eat mushrooms!
·
Shuiqing didn't give the family mushrooms to eat.
Even though the six people behind picked up more than ten pounds of mushrooms.
The main reason was that he couldn't bear to part with them.
A pound of mushrooms to cook soup is not enough for two people, but if it is converted into money to buy rice, it can be full for several times.
This account can be calculated even by people who have not learned arithmetic.
After dinner, the family had a full stomach.
Once people are full, their energy and spirit will be obviously full.
There was only a faint light left in the sky, and Yan Qiu packed up the bowls, chopsticks, pots and pans and moved them to the spring to wash.
Xinghui chopped a pot of wild grass and sprinkled three handfuls of wheat bran, mixed them evenly and took them to feed the chickens.
Fan Jin and Jianghehu were tying thatch, preparing to make a thatched roof to block the dew from the food.
"Dahu, you are weak, you just need to arrange the thatch neatly, no need to tie it. ”
“Dahe, you need to use more force, otherwise the thatch will be loose and the rain will flow into it.”
“Dajiang is worthy of being a brother, he tied it very well.”
Shuiqing watched Fan Jin tying the thatch while patiently instructing his three sons.
The speed was a bit slow, but he also taught the three people skills while doing it.
When Fan Jin raised his eyes, he saw Shuiqing staring at him. He blinked his clear eyes and asked in a daze: "What's wrong?"
“Come with me, I have something to tell you.”
