More than 100 years have passed, and the overall framework and layout of the house have remained basically the same. It's just a house made of iron, and people who run water, inherit their ancestors from generation to generation, and their ancestors are buried on the hills.

Xie Xingpan has six wives and concubines, more than 10 children, breeding a big family, his eldest son is an official in Wuhu, Anhui, leaving a branch, the third son is an official in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, leaving a family branch, the second son failed to get fame in reading, Xi Wen has not been handed down to the world, can not enter the career as an official, Shouju Dafu is a village sage, as a gentry, half ploughing and half reading, poetry heirloom. Although the foundation is rich and the family wealth is not cheap, it is thin, three generations are single, and now there are only two brothers in the grandchildren.

Xie Qingyuan and Xie Qingxi are the sixth-generation descendants of Xie Xingpan, one is the patriarch and the other is an official.

The times have changed, the ancestral hall has changed from the ancestral hall of a family to the ancestral hall of a family, and then to the ancestral hall of a clan.

Even though the years have changed darkly, the wind and rain have withered, but the donkey will not fall, and the main building of Dafudi is still intact, and the people surnamed Xie have been living there. The change of dynasty, although the private residence of a family is still there, and the house of a family still exists, but every time you enter the courtyard, it has completely become a miscellaneous courtyard. The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and at first a concubine took her children to live in the courtyard, and now there are ten households in the courtyard, two in each lane, one in two wings, eight in four lanes, and two in four wings, which together are ten, and each room is a two-story wooden building.

The old ancestral house of the in-law's family, which was given to the grandfather during the land reform, is located in the inner courtyard of the third column, on the left side of the patio, is two wings, each wing room has a living room, a room and a suite, with two floors. After the death of the grandfather, it was originally divided equally between the two sons, one person in a room. Due to the early death of the second uncle Xie Qingming, who had no children and only one daughter, Xie Jiani, Gong Magpie inherited both soft and hard, and adopted the means of inheriting Xie Wu to Xie Qingming, and took a side room under the name of the second uncle as owned. The husband died in the house, and the second aunt had no choice but to take her daughter to remarry in a foreign land.

The most pitiful day is not as good as heaven, when Xie Wu grew up, married a wife and started a family, he didn't expect to die young, and he had no children, only two daughters, Xie Bitao and Xie Jinlian. After Xie Wu's wife, Tan Yinhe, gave birth to two daughters, according to the family planning policy, she had undergone sterilization and could not have another son. Before Xie Wu's death, Shu Zhiqiang took the initiative to propose that he would pass his son to Xie Wu for the elderly, but because of the family's tough opposition, he failed to succeed.

As soon as Xie Wu died, Xie Wen united with the family and asked his son to give Xie Wu a spiritual memorial, and wear linen and wear filial piety to perform filial piety, resulting in the de facto inheritance, so Xie Wen occupied a half-room connected to Xie Wu's house to this day. Because Gong Magpie took the means of inheritance and took the wing house under the name of the childless second uncle as already owned, Xie Wen used his way to govern his body, Gong Magpie had no choice but to eat Coptis chinensis dumbly--- and he couldn't say anything about his suffering, and the clansmen still laughed at her, "Shrewd I, the organs are exhausted, but in the end, I was slapped in the face by my son and sealed."

The house that was shared by the marriage was occupied by Xie Wen, and Tan Yinhe only took his daughter and lived in the wing room inherited by Xie Wu, living across the wall from the palace magpie. The more Gong Magpie regretted Xie Wu, the more he hated Tan Yinhe, blaming her for not being angry, complaining that she was useless, and that the hungry ghost couldn't protect the moon. Mother-in-law has a black face all day long, and treats each other with evil words, Tan Yinhe is also aggrieved, Xie Wen, who plays with his heart, is raised by you, Xie Wu, who has no brains, is also born by you, and the useless daughter-in-law is even married by you, all the faults, how can they be pushed on me alone? Things are not as you want, not only do you have no way to recover your losses, but you are only limited to being lonely and humiliated, and you are sulking all day long, and Tan Yinhe does not smile at her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were suspicious, originally negative, but now they can't get used to it, everything is wrong, and there are even more gaps. Xie Jinlian's untimely death became a fuse, causing anger to erupt. Gong Magpie led her mother-in-law to help a group of people, snatched the dowry, locked the door, and swept Tan Yinhe out of the house. Because Shu Zhiqiang inherited his nephew from his uncle and never stopped, the wing room that Xie Wu inherited has been occupied by Shu Zhiqiang until now.

Xie Wu only had no son, and the two houses were inherited by the two families, and they were divided cleanly, but he ignored his daughter and left her to fend for herself. Back then, Xie Bitao was just a seven-year-old child, maybe the two families wished that she died like Xie Jinlian.

Gong Magpie and Xie Qingquanshui gave birth to a total of ten children and raised eight, from their twenties to their forties. Among the children, the eldest is more than 20 years older than the youngest, almost a generation apart, and the eldest nephew is a few years older than the younger uncle, and he also married earlier than the younger uncle and gave birth to children. The mother and daughter hugged their respective grandchildren, sat together and chatted about family life, and the people from other villages who passed by often regarded the grandson of the mother as the grandson of the daughter, and mistakenly thought that the old woman was holding the fourth generation of descendants, but they did not know that it was the third generation of descendants, and they did not know that the grandson who was younger than the great-grandson was still conceiving.

Taking the Xie family as an example, it can be seen that after the "***", there is a population of 30 years, and before family planning became a national policy, each household was a family with many sons and daughters, as few as three or four, and as many as twelve or thirteen. When the children grow up, the parents' houses are simply not enough to live in, and they have to build a new house when they get married.

Xie Hejia is no exception. In addition to the courtyard building in the main building, which remains the same, the kitchen, toilet, firewood room, mill room, and servant's room, handyman room and other supporting low houses outside the side door of the roadway have all been demolished and expanded by the residents, and the two-storey brick houses with three floors were built in the early stage, the two-storey flat-roofed houses with five were built in the middle period, and the three-to-five-story buildings were built in the late period.

Later, with the birth of those in the 60s, the marriage of those people was suspended, and the demolition and expansion could not meet the demand for houses.

Later, people born in the 70s went south in batches to work, and returned to their hometowns in batches to build houses.

Nowadays, the Xie Hejia people choose to build three more five- to seven-story buildings with three paved surfaces on both sides of National Highway 107 around the village.

In other words, before the reform and opening up, the fastest growth rate was the population, and after the reform and opening up, the largest increase was in the villages. The population living in Dafudi has grown from 90 per cent to less than 30 per cent today, which means that the remaining 70 per cent live in newly built houses, which means that the village has expanded sevenfold. The expansion needs to occupy land, land is a non-renewable resource, in the case of land can not be increased, the village house is expanding year by year at the same time, but also the village land year by year decrease, the contradiction of more people and less houses has been alleviated, but also caused the contradiction of more people and less land to aggravate.

The problem of more people and less housing can be solved by building rural self-housing in rural areas, but what should be done if there is poor money?
