The Lan family generally doesn't cook by themselves in the town, so they hire a rough mother-in-law to do the work. www.biquge.info Of course, she didn't dare to say that she was invited back to serve her, but she only said that the store was sometimes too busy, for fear of delaying the meal, so that Jingwen would go to school hungry, so she invited it when she was busy, and she usually made it herself.

Lan is a very successful person, as long as she has a heart, she knows what people like and makes people like her, so among several daughters-in-law, Lan is the most comfortable. Now that she is ready to split up, the two elders will follow her family in the future, and Shen Zhuang's is not a good person to get along with, she has to get into her eyes, and she will have a good life in the future, so now she doesn't need to take the initiative to take care of the work herself: "Mother, you don't have to worry about dinner, you tell you to come down, go back to the room to rest." It's not easy for you to pull up a few older children, and now that your sons are married to daughters-in-law, it's time for you to enjoy yourself, and we'll make dinner ready. A few days ago, I bought a box of pastries in Yipinxiang, and I heard that even the county lady's wife loves to eat this fragrant pastry, and I often send people from the county to buy it. Bao'er, you accompany grandma into the house to have a snack, remember to make a cup of honey. ”

While the Lan family curryed favor with Shen Zhuang's family, they used the excuse to support Shen Bao'er so that she didn't have to do these rough jobs. Her daughter has not touched the spring water since the day she was born, except for writing, reading, He has done any heavy work, and a pair of jade hands are slender and delicate. The Yang family also expects her to marry into a big family in the future and enjoy happiness.

Shen Bao'er understood, and hurriedly grabbed Shen Zhuang's and walked to the upper room: "Milk, I'll help you go back to eat snacks." ”

"Is this really the dim sum that the county lady's wife loves to eat?" Shen Zhuang's most envious thing in his life is the official wife, and he can't do it himself, so he pins his hopes on his son, and the old lady of the official is okay, and her son also disappointed her, fortunately, she has a grandson, and she is about to realize her dream. She dared to be particularly interested in the things that the wife and lady of the official family liked, and she was afraid that one day she would become one of them, and she would be ignorant in front of others and lose face.

"That's right, that's what the people of Yipinxiang said. Grandma, I embroidered a forehead for you, the pattern is new to the embroidery village, I heard that the imperial capital is popular, and the old ladies of the big families in the city like it very much. Grandma must be more expensive than those old ladies who wear it. Now that autumn is in place, the weather will soon be cold, and grandma will remember to wear it sooner or later, so as not to catch a cold. Shen Bao'er helped Shen Zhuang to walk to the upper room while coaxing her to be happy.

"It's really grandma's good granddaughter, me, only you are still thinking about it, otherwise no one cares. The voices of the two faded into the kitchen.

After Lan saw the two of them go out, she looked around, picked a pumpkin, sat on the bench and began to peel it, the movement was so slow, I didn't know that she thought she wanted to peel the pumpkin out of flowers. Lan thought in her heart that she would hurry up and return to the town after dividing her home, and if she stayed here, she couldn't ask for either hand. Thinking that after the separation, Old Man Shen and Shen Zhuang would follow their own family, they were a little weak. Fortunately, it will take more than three years before Wen'er is promoted, and the two elders should not live in the town for the time being, and when Wen'er is sent to the official, he will find a way to leave the two of them and go to the place where he is an official.

Over there, Shen Jingwen had already invited Li Zheng, the village chief and his son, Uncle Shen's family, Old Man Guo, Old Man Lin and others. After everyone sat down and served tea, Old Man Shen spoke: "I invite you to come here today to witness the separation of our family, and I am tired of you." ”

Everyone was surprised to hear Shen Rengui suddenly say that he wanted to split the family, but most of the families in the village divided the family soon after their son got married, and everyone understood the truth of distant relatives and close smells. So Shen Rengui didn't divide his family before, but now he is separated, they are surprised, but they didn't say much, why a family is divided, there are just so many reasons, there are more frictions, there is nothing strange.

The old man Shen told a few people about how to divide the law that he had discussed before, and the village chief asked Shen Chengguang if the brothers had any opinions, and everyone said they had no opinions, and the village chief made a document.

In this era, there is also a certain format for dividing the family documents, which are generally as follows: the son of the first in the current ranking is separated from the family of his father/stepfather and mother/stepmother, and starts a new stove, how much land he gets, how much land he has, where the field is, how much silver he has, how many other poultry, how many farm tools, etc., how much pension money he needs to give to his father and mother every year or every month after he has a family, and what things need to be honored to his father and mother during the New Year's Festival, etc. After the separation, the property of each family belongs to each family, and other parents and brothers are not allowed to use and take possession of the property obtained after the separation without the consent of the head of the family for any reason. Property that was deliberately hidden before the separation does not count. At least four or more witnesses have their mudras taken. In short, the document includes the relationship between parents and children, and the parents should write their parents, and the stepfather or stepmother should write down, the number of people in the family, how much property they shared, and the filial piety money to their parents after the separation. In case someone separates and ignores their parents. It is also in case after the separation, the brothers use the name of their parents to encroach on each other's property for various reasons, so the separation document specifically explains this. Since it is a separation, it is no longer a family after the division, so the property of each family belongs to each family, and there is no reason for others to take possession of it.

Xiao'er later saw this document and felt that it was very thoughtfully written, and when there was really a property dispute, it was convenient to take it out and go to the government to talk about things.

After the family separation documents are established, they are in quadruplicate, one is kept by the government when the government handles the transfer, one is kept by the village head, one is held by Mr. Shen, and one is held by each person. Each of them put their handprints on it, and the division was completed. The village chief will take the documents to the county office tomorrow to handle the transfer, and then take the household post back to each family.

"Now the family has been separated, but over the years, in order to provide for the eldest son and grandson to gain fame, everyone has been starving and cold, working hard, and the old family is really good in the future, and they can't forget to help their younger brother. Chengguang, what do you say?" Old Man Shen reiterated again in order to show that he was treated equally. Let everyone understand that their partiality is because they need more silver to study, and they will pay it back later when the long house is born.

"Needless to say, my brother is still my brother after the separation, I will not be distracted by the separation, and I will definitely do my best to help if I can help in the future." "Old man Shen and Shen Chengguang never thought that in the future, the people in the other rooms would be more prosperous than the big houses, and they all felt that the people in the other rooms needed to live on their snorts. Of course, there are some people present who think the same way as them, after all, there is a big difference between those who have read books and those who have not read books in ancient times.

"Chengguang is a responsible person. Shen Renfu was relieved that his nephew was promising, and he was also very happy, although he didn't agree with Old Man Shen's eccentric approach.

......

"Brother and brother, brother and brother, you are blessed, and you will soon be waiting to enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren. "Everybody was saying good things.

At this time, the meal was also ready, and the Lan family came in and asked Old Man Shen: "Dad, the food is ready, do you want to set the meal now?"

Old Man Shen responded and invited everyone to the table. Because there are guests, tonight's dinner can only be served by men, and the women can only make do with it in the kitchen.

The meals are very rich, and the old man Shen loves face, and he usually prepares hearty meals when he invites people to dinner, but generally hospitable people will also take out the best things in the house to entertain them when they invite people to dinner. The Zhuang family is very hospitable and sincere, and they are reluctant to live a little oil and water, but the banquet will definitely have fish and meat.

And the Shen family, in addition to fish and meat, there will definitely be chickens and ducks. Cook 12 dishes. Mushroom and slippery chicken, roast duck bought in town, steamed fish, stewed button meat, fish-flavored eggplant, pumpkin fried meat, hand-patted cucumber, scrambled eggs with leeks, large plate of beans, fried vegetables, fried peanuts, cold fungus, staple rice, white flour steamed buns. Eat to the fullest of the guests and hosts.

The female dependents only have pumpkin fried meat, fried vegetables and multigrain steamed buns. If you want to eat meat, then wait until the men's table is finished and see if there is anything left.
