Chapter 8: Separation

"How do you know if you don't try, you look at other people's families, they are all separated when their sons get married, and our family is still living together with a large family, which is too inconvenient. Besides, it's not that if you divide the family, you won't be filial to your parents, we are a long house, and your parents will follow us after the separation. The eldest aunt said.

"If I have a chance, I'll probe my father's tone, but if my father doesn't agree, don't mention it again, so as not to make my father unhappy." Chen Dafu said.

got the uncle's consent, the aunt finally stopped, but the aunt also went to contact the second aunt, as well as Chen Yu's mother, after all, only if the uncle's family proposed to split the family, the grandfather would definitely not agree.

"The second daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, you see that our children are getting older, they can be crammed into one room now, and they won't be squeezed into one room in the future, right? The eldest of our family looks like he's almost at the age of saying goodbye, I'm worried, so I'm here to talk to you, is it a reminder to my father, the matter of separating the family. The eldest aunt said.

After listening to the words of the eldest aunt, both of them became active, saying that it was impossible to be the master of their own house, but they were a little worried that their grandfather would not agree and would get angry.

"Don't worry, there is still a great possibility that my father will agree, the situation is different from a few years ago and now, my father will never let his grandson marry a daughter-in-law for the sake of his grandson, and he will have no place to live." The eldest aunt said.

"Then let's go back and ask the master, and talk to my father together when the time comes," the two said.

"That's a good relationship, I'll wait for your good news." The eldest aunt said happily.

When Chen Yu heard her mother talk about this, she immediately listened attentively, after all, it was also about herself, and it was good to know some news.

"Tie Zhu, the child's eldest aunt told me about the separation of the family today, what do you think about this matter? Shall we talk to our father and divide it? Chen Yu's mother said.

"After the separation, there will be only two of us in the family, and it will be very hard at that time, and we have to do everything by ourselves." Chen Tiezhu said.

"What's that, let's be diligent, the little days must be better and better. Now we are not doing less, and from time to time we hear their sour words, as if we have taken advantage of it, and our four daughters probably do not eat as much as their two sons. The mother said.

"Okay, I know you've been wronged, wait until we have a son, and see what else they can say. Divide the family, divide the family, and each has its own way. Chen Tiezhu said.

The next day, after several brothers exchanged opinions together, in the evening, the uncle at the dinner table raised the issue of separation: "Dad, you see that the children are already older, are we dividing the family, it is not so convenient for a large family to be together, and even if the family is separated, it is also brothers, and it is certain to help each other or something, and it will not affect it." ”

After listening to the uncle's words, the grandfather paused and said, "You all want to split up?" ”

Looking at his silent son and daughter-in-law, Chen Cai knew the answer, and said: "Actually, I don't divide the family, but also for everyone's good life, but if you all think it's good to divide the family, then I won't come to be this wicked person, you can divide it if you want." But if you divide the family or a family, you still have to help each other, and the brothers work together to break the gold, I don't want to see your brothers gradually divide in the future. ”

"Dad, don't worry, we will never do that." Uncle said.

"Let's eat first, and tomorrow I will find the village chief, Li Zheng, and the elders of the village, and divide the family as a notary. Since this matter was brought up by the boss, the boss went to find someone. Chen Cai said.

"No problem, I'll go find someone early tomorrow morning." Uncle said.

Chen Yu listened on the sidelines, at this time Chen Yu didn't quite understand the meaning of separation, after all, Chen Yu didn't know much about the ancient rules.

Before the family was separated, the grandfather was the head of the family, and everyone had to listen to the grandfather, such as the grandchildren's family affairs or something. Splitting the family is a part of the father's and mother's family, so there are still some differences.

What's more, if there is no separation, the father and mother do not have much money in their hands, most of them have to be handed over, and the money earned after the separation is their own, just honor their parents during the New Year's holidays.

The next day, a lot of people came to the village, in order to divide the family, grandpa specially asked the eldest aunt to buy meat, to entertain the people who came today, after all, the separation of the family is a big deal, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.

"I heard Daifuku say that your family is going to split up? I don't know what kind of charter you are, let's all be a witness, and it depends on your own how to divide it. Rizheng said.

"My family has 5 acres of fertile land, 9 acres of sand fields, and 6 acres of paddy fields. In addition, there are these houses, and 15 taels of silver, I plan to give each family one acre of fertile land, two acres of paddy fields, three acres of sand fields, and the remaining two acres of fertile land will be the pension land for me and my wife, and when we die, we will leave it to the boss, and we will live with the boss. In addition, the silver is divided equally among the three families, and the farm tools are taken by a family, as for the vegetables in the yard, everyone eats together this year, and then grows their own food, and the grain is divided into 400 kilograms per family. We two old people don't want our sons to give us food, we can support ourselves, just give some New Year's gifts. Chen Cai said.

"Big brother, it's really fair, the children are really lucky to meet you, your children are harmonious, unlike Chen's second family, they almost fought for a split family, I have already written down what you said, you see if there is any problem, there is no problem and the family is separated like this." Rizheng said.

"No problem, that's it, everyone has worked hard, let's have lunch here today, the dishes are ready." Chen Cai said.

Chen Yu looked at his mother's happy appearance with the family separation contract, and he was also happy, not to mention that there was meat to eat today, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and he drooled when he smelled the meat.

However, there are guests at home, and they are girls who can't serve on the table, so they can only eat in the kitchen. But the grandmother looked at the meat in the pot with her eyes in the eyes, and sandwiched two pieces for herself: "Good boy, take it and eat it, don't run around." ”

Looking at the slices of meat and vegetables on the brown rice, Chen Yu took a breath and was immediately intoxicated, this was the first time Chen Yu felt that he was really happy to have meat to eat. But grandma is really good to herself, so she has meat to eat, and the rest of the sisters can only eat vegetables, after all, meat is to be used to entertain guests.

Of course, the love for himself is definitely not as good as that of his grandson, but boys can eat at the table with guests, unlike little daughters-in-law, girls squat in the kitchen, sure enough, the status of ancient women is too low, and Chen Yu is extremely resentful.
