Chapter 9: The Initial Separation

Uncle Guan smoked a big cigarette pouch, sat on the kang mat woven with straw, frowned and listened to the chatter of his wife and son in the outhouse at the moment.

Alas...... The child is too big to be a mother.

Good meat has to rot in a pan. The brother of a mother's sibling, why is he so calculating, this son's heart is still a little smaller.

Separation?

The family is divided into four families, and in the cold winter of Layue, water conservancy and river embankments will be repaired to build infrastructure, and all four sons will have to be on one piece.

Even when the meat is distributed at the end of the year, their team first asks the family with the most work points to choose the meat first, and they have to fall behind after their own families are dispersed.

What are you going to do in the future, you have to suffer everything.

The outhouse is a kitchen. It is a place for cooking, and it is also a place to put some living sundries, such as cupboards, water tanks, sauce jars, and sauerkraut jars.

The two cauldrons manage the three meals a day and the pig food of two pigs for a family of more than ten people, and at the same time, they also take into account the heating of the kang in the east and west houses after winter.

There is also a table of eight immortals who do not see the real face, at this moment Guan Youshou is dining with his family of four, and Aunt Guan next to him is chattering.

The coarse porridge with wild vegetables is bitter and astringent, and the corn biscuits mixed with cornmeal and wild vegetables are so thick that they fall straight to the throat when you bite into it.

Guan Ping'an picked up the wild vegetable porridge and went down to the tortillas, and saw that his parents and little brother were eating with a beautiful face, and subconsciously took a bite of the corn tortillas in his arms.

I have the impression that it is my aunt's turn to cook today, which is not bad, but when it is my aunt's turn to cook tomorrow, it is no different from drinking medicine.

The four daughters-in-law of the Guan family, her mother Ye Xiuhe, works neatly and is the best at cooking ordinary dishes into deliciousness. Just because her mother doesn't have to do farm work in her mother's house, she works on the stove.

It is said that the only aunt has always been diligent, and her aunt is still in charge of the kitchen after the sister-in-law enters the door.

As soon as she got married, the second aunt also followed her into the closed house, that was a cowardly person, since she took over, the eldest aunt didn't want to do it.

In this situation, it was not until half a year after her mother entered the door that her grandmother began to clarify the division of labor.

Thinking of this, Guan Ping'an glanced at her grandmother, Aunt Guan, how could she teach a successful daughter, but she was ridden by her eldest daughter-in-law?

Could it be that he really fought for the eldest uncle's stomach and gave birth to three grandchildren in one go? It should be for the sake of living with the eldest son in the future.

Since ancient times, there has been a custom that once the family is separated, the old man will live with the eldest son.

Without her father saying it himself, Guan Ping'an could also see how partial the second elder was, so why were the two rooms in the Westinghouse occupied by the boss's family?

If her father hadn't made trouble at the beginning, and he hadn't been busy making adobe day and night, wouldn't the two extra sons have to live in a pigsty and a firewood house?

Her grandfather didn't come out in the east room, and her grandmother here pulled up who whose son was not filial, and under this beating, her father actually smiled and gnawed on the wild vegetable dumplings, and ate the wild vegetable porridge.

Strong!

Guan Youshou snorted the last mouthful of porridge, patted his stomach, and said with a smile: "Mother, you see who in the village will split up if his son doesn't get married, and there are only those few households who don't pay attention to it, and the three or four generations still have a kang in the north and south houses." ”

"Dead boy......!"

Guan Youshou waved his hand and interrupted, "I am a filial son, listen to your old man." Saying that, he took the lead and went out, "Mother, I'll lie down with a sore back for a while." ”

When Aunt Guan heard this, she immediately stood up and wanted to chase him out, and after thinking about it, the third child is soft and hard, so if she strikes, she won't believe that she can't deal with him.

Thinking of this, she looked at Guan Ping'an, who was immersed in porridge, and swept her eyes to her daughter-in-law, "The third family, how much did it cost this time?"

Ye Xiuhe hurriedly put down the bowl, "Mother, it's the child's father who pays, I don't know very well, so I listened to him and the child Uncle Ma say a few words." ”

"Rub it out? ”

Ye Xiuhe glanced at her mother-in-law and clenched her chopsticks uneasily, "Dazhong gave ten yuan to the team, and the child's father said that there were only less than four yuan in his pocket." ”

"What?" Aunt Guan exclaimed loudly, "What do you say?

Ye Xiuhe hurriedly explained, "The medicine prescribed by the old doctor in the hospital, people said that the child hurt his head, and if he had a fever at night, he would burn into a fool."

hung up two bottles of potion that was so big, and also opened a note to let the child's father buy brown sugar, saying that it was malnourished and the child would not grow up in the future. ”

Aunt Guan pounded her chest and looked at the third daughter-in-law who was talking while gesturing, she was so angry that she pointed at her with her fingers, "You just let him?"

"Mother, he is the man in charge, what can you do if you don't listen to him? You didn't listen to what the old doctor said, I was worried about it all night last night, but fortunately the child is fine.

The money is gone, I work hard, and I can always earn it back. If people become fools, what's the use of doing more, I'm just two children. ”

Aunt Guan opened her mouth, turned her head to look at the West House again, turned around angrily, turned her little feet upside down, and lifted the door curtain into the East House.

Guan Ping'an waited for her to enter, and hurriedly patted his chest, but he scared her to death, which caused Guan Tianyou, who was opposite, to laugh sullenly.

Ye Xiuhe tapped the two brothers and sisters with chopsticks, and motioned for them to eat quickly and leave early. If it's too late, the father-in-law will be angry with their mother-in-law.

At the beginning, her father and mother also said that the second member of the Guan family was a sincere person, and her mother-in-law was a reasonable person.

Isn't that reasonable?

It is reasonable to watch the fire from the wall and suppress the daughters-in-law, and it is reasonable to stop in moderation, so that this matter is so reasonable that it cannot alarm the other rooms.

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, her mother-in-law finally has an advantage, she does not abuse her daughter-in-law, as long as she pushes it on her son, she can talk a lot.

The old ladies in the Northeast love to smoke big cigarette bags, while chatting, smoking big tobacco bags, and they like not to put their pants on their belts wherever they go, and after a while, smoke comes out of the east house.

Guan Ping'an almost choked, she glanced at the curtain of the east room worriedly, jumped off the stool and ran to the door, took a deep breath, and secretly congratulated her parents for not smoking.

There is a three-room house in the back, and the format is the same as the front, except that there are few guys in the outhouse, and there are big openings on the two stoves, and a crockpot is hanging.

Since the steelmaking, the original broken iron pot that was repaired and repaired finally turned into a piece of scrap iron, and he closed the family and contributed to the country.

But in the same way, the loss of a pot has added a lot of trouble to life, especially in the cold winter.

Guan Youshou stood in front of the stove and frowned, regretting yesterday's battle of will, he should ask others for industrial coupons and spend some money to buy a pot.

"Dad, I'll tell you. Guan Ping'an beckoned to him, waited for him to squat down, and whispered in his ear what had just happened.

Guan Youshou touched his daughter's frowning little brows and smiled, "Do you think your father is too much?"

"Not really. I just think grandma is so pitiful. ”

"Huh, don't you hate her for not treating you?"

Guan Ping'an rolled his eyes and was suddenly stunned. This, this is not an indecent behavior that she should have made, it must have been infected by her little brother.

Yes, exactly.

Immediately, she rolled her eyes happily again, and expressed any dissatisfaction, and no longer had to have scruples, which felt really happy.
