CHAPTER XXVII
Mother's funeral is still as cold as Daddy's, Wang's statement is that Li is not dying at the end of his life, he can only reduce it, and the old man has no objections.
Fortunately, they are going to break up, and they will never be with them again. For the funeral of my father and mother, I can only hope that it will be held after filial piety. After the mother was buried, the grandfather took everyone home to discuss the separation of the family. This time the family was separated, and the old man didn't call the village chief over. "I don't have anything to say, the tree is big and has to be branched, even if we are separated, we are still a family with bones and tendons, I hope there will be no separation." After listening to the old man's words, the village chief nodded and said very approvingly, "Well, the old man is right, Lin Yi and Xiu are still young, you can take care of your relatives a little more." After listening to the words of the old man and the village chief, everyone nodded and said yes. But if you don't help, it's their business.
The old man looked at the crowd and said, "Okay, now let's talk about the family's property." The family has twenty acres of fertile land, a buffalo, two old sows, and ten chickens. About the family's money...... "When the old man talked about money, everyone held their breath and listened to the old man. "There are twelve taels of silver left at home." As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Listening to the old man's words, Lin Yi and Lin Xiuxiu smiled sarcastically. Daddy has been working for eight years, and he has been paying wages since five years ago, three taels a month, and the eggs at home will be taken out and sold next year, as well as the family's grain, and one pig will be sold every year. Even if my brother and Lin Yan want to go to school, it will definitely not cost you much money? Grandpa is still partial after all. Looking at everyone's reactions, the old man continued, "Twenty acres of fertile land, I will give two rooms and five acres, and the cattle will not be given to you, you have to come and pull them at any time." Two pigs, well, I'll give you some meat if I kill them for the New Year! And if you have chickens, I'll give you two. You still live in the room, and in a few days, my uncle and uncle and I will build a kitchen for you. and I will give you three taels of silver. Well, that's it. ”
The village chief looked at these self-written family separation certificates, or said, "What about the grain?" How much filial piety do you two brothers give you? The old man patted his head and said, "Look at me, I have forgotten such an important matter." So be it! The family will give you 10 catties of rice, 20 catties of millet, and 50 catties of millet. After all, it's March and there isn't much food at home. As for filial piety, you can only pay me and your grandmother a tael of silver every year. ”
Sure enough, the village chief listened to his grandfather's words and greatly praised the old man's benevolence and righteousness, after all, up to now, the food in anyone's house is very small, and the old man also gave so much food to the two small ones. The village chief wrote down four points according to what the old man said, and Lin Yi saw that there was no problem, so he stamped his handprint with his grandfather and the village chief. Of these four-point agreements, one for the village chief, one for the grandfather, one for the elder brother, and one for the yamen to record.
After the family was divided, Lin Yi and Lin Xiuxiu took the food and chickens into the room together. Grandpa gave the deed to his brother in front of the village chief, and the brother only needed two taels of silver, because there was still filial piety money for one tael a year for grandparents. Looking at these things at home, Lin Yi and Lin Xiuxiu looked at each other and smiled. After sorting out the things, Lin Xiuxiu hurriedly ran to Aunt Cuihua and prepared to take her younger brother back. When I got to Aunt Cuihua, I found that Chunni was also there. Aunt Cuihua saw Lin Xiuxiu coming over, and hurriedly asked, "Xiuxiu, you are here, are you here to pick up your brother?" Lin Xiuxiu nodded at Aunt Cuihua. Aunt Cuihua hurriedly said to Xiuxiu again, "Xiuxiu, you are still a child, you don't know, the child who has not yet reached the full moon said that he can't go outside, otherwise he will be easy to get sick, and your brother's body was so weak before." ”
After listening to Aunt Cuihua's words, Lin Xiuxiu suddenly looked at Aunt Cuihua. Aunt Cuihua hurriedly said to Lin Xiuxiu, "Otherwise, you can let us here, child, and you will take it back when the moon is full!" After listening to Aunt Cuihua's words, Lin Xiuxiu was very moved, but she hesitated a little, "Will it trouble my sister-in-law." Aunt Cuihua patted her thigh and said, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, your sister-in-law has enough milk, one is also raised, and two are also raised." Lin Xiuxiu smiled gratefully at Aunt Cuihua, "Thank you, Aunt Cuihua." He also took out a tael of silver in his arms and handed it to Aunt Cuihua.
Aunt Cuihua saw the one or two pieces of silver in her hand, and hurriedly prepared to return it to Lin Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, hurry up and get the money back, are you looking down on Auntie?" When she was about to stuff the money into Lin Xiuxiu, Lin Xiuxiu hurriedly said, "Auntie, you better take the money, otherwise I will be embarrassed to put my brother here." "Now Aunt Cuihua is not giving, not giving. At this time, Chunni's father spoke, "The child, mother, you can accept it, this is also a little bit of the child's heart." After listening to her man's words, Aunt Cuihua took the money.
Watching Aunt Cuihua take the money, I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I said to Aunt Cuihua, "Auntie, can I take a look at my brother?" "Yes, Chunni, you take Xiuxiu to see her brother." Aunt Cuihua's Chunni said. Chunni came over and took my hand and said, "Follow me." He took me and walked into the room.
When I came into the room, the two children were placed together, but I still recognized my brother at a glance, there was no way, he was too thin, and there was no way to compare with a full-term child. I looked and found that my younger brother was already asleep, and Chunni's sister-in-law saw that I was coming in and hurriedly said, "Xiuxiu, don't worry, this child is well-behaved, every time he feeds is also very fragrant, he will definitely grow white and chubby in the future." After listening to Chunni's sister-in-law's words, I gratefully said to Chunni's sister-in-law, "Thank you, sister-in-law." "No thanks, no thanks, your business is Chunni's business, is Chunni's business my business?" Oh! It turns out that Chunni and her sister-in-law have such a good relationship!
It wasn't until it was dark that I was reluctant to leave and prepared to go home. As I walked along the road, I remembered that I still had silver under the trees in the mountains anyway, so I hurried to the mountains. I used to save as much as three hundred taels of silver, but as my mother fell ill and was weak, I bought supplements and medicine for my mother, but even if the silver had been spent, my mother still couldn't save it. When I came to the place where I had buried the money, I took out the silver that was in the jar, and counted it, and sure enough, there were more than fifty taels of silver left in it.
With the silver in hand, I hurried down the mountain. Because it was dark, the road was out of sight, and there were many trees, I immediately used my psychic abilities, and it turned out that these were no longer a problem. With my psychic powers, I can see these things clearly.
