Chapter 19 How to Divide It
"Grandpa, grandma." Yun Xiang stepped forward with a smile, "My father agreed to divide the family, but the premise is that we have to discuss how to divide it." ”
Liu Wang and Old Man Liu glanced at each other, and Old Man Liu cleared his throat and said, "Our family has forty-two acres of land, and I, your grandmother and your aunt will occupy ten acres, and each of your brothers can get eight acres." So you may have eight acres of land. ”
Eight acres of land seems to be a lot, but in ancient times when the yield per mu was low, it was not much, and Yunxiang's family had a large population, so each person occupied more than one acre of land. It's the same eight acres of land, but it's different if it's a different person. For example, the uncle's family has a sale, and the land is just a filling, so it doesn't matter. There are only four people in the second uncle's family, and one person has two acres of land, which is enough to eat. There are only two people in the fourth uncle's family, not to mention. So it seems fair, but it's not fair. However, Yun Xiang has a secret 'weapon', which will definitely make this field highly productive and feed her family to the fullest.
Yun Xiang didn't speak, just looked at Old Man Liu and Liu Wang's like this. Old Man Liu faked coughing twice and looked at his eldest son Liu Chengwen. Liu Chengwen pretended to tidy up his clothes and nodded quietly.
Old Man Liu said again, "Actually, we still have a pond at home!" That's what my ancestors left behind, and I'm in charge, so I'll give it to you! ”
Yun Xiang searched all the memories of the original owner and didn't find a single word about this pond, I'm afraid that I don't know which thing I forgot to in it, and Yun Xiang even doubts whether there is water in this pond!
Seeing that Yun Xiang still didn't speak and looked at herself, Old Man Liu frowned a little. Liu Wang said, "You little girl, so many things are not enough?" Be careful that I get you out of the house! ”
Yun Xiang smiled, "Master said that it is okay to give us eight acres of land, a high-grade field, a medium-class field, or a low-grade field?" Whether it's a paddy field or a sand field, I haven't explained it, so I'm naturally waiting to hear it! Also, the field is divided, let's not mention the pond for the time being, where are we going to live in our family? Can't let us go sleep on the haystacks! ”
Looking at Old Man Liu and Liu Wang's look at each other, it was obvious that they hadn't considered their housing problem at all. Just thinking about getting something and getting them out the door.
As for the land, they definitely didn't plan to give their family a good land, let alone that someone would put forward specific conditions for separation. Yunxiang 10,000 believes that if it was Zhou and Liu Chengshuang who said that they were separated, they would definitely nod and agree directly as soon as they heard that there were eight acres of land, where would they ask so clearly!
"I'll say a few words about the earth." Liu Chengwen opened his mouth to relieve the siege of Old Man Liu, "Although it is only your family that is separated, I also want to make a statement." Good land is naturally reserved for filial piety to the elderly, and the ten acres of farmland are naturally reserved for your grandmother to support the elderly. As for the one to you, Dad, I think it's just four acres of medium land and four acres of sandy land. ”
"It's still the boss who has filial piety." Liu Wang smiled and nodded, "I think it's done according to what the boss said." ”
Yun Xiang glanced at Liu Chengwen sarcastically, since they were the only ones who split up, the rest naturally belonged to their family. "Ten acres of upper land can be reserved for grandpa and grandma, then we want eight acres of medium land."
"No! I will give you a maximum of six acres, four acres of dry land, two acres of paddy fields, and two acres of sandy land. Old Man Liu shook his head, "These are enough for your family to live." ”
It should be enough for their family to barely survive. Yun Xiang scoffed, but asked innocently, "What about the house?" Did grandpa and grandma build a new one for us? Or do you want to get some money and let us rent a place to live? ”
When it comes to houses, everyone is worried. Not to mention the waste of time to build a house, it also costs money. This is something that no one wants to do. I saw San Lang leaning over mysteriously, lying on Old Man Liu's ear and muttering a few words, and the folds on Old Man Liu's face instantly burst into laughter.
"There is also a house, which can be said to be our ancestral property!" Old Man Liu said, "That's a good place that can't be bought with money!" The location is good, the place is also big, it just happens that there are many people in your family, so let the third child cultivate there! ”
It's another place where the original owner doesn't have the slightest impression. Yun Xiang frowned, "Then can I go and have a look first?" ”
"Why are there so many things about you girl!" Liu Xiu'er impatiently shook the handkerchief in her hand and said to Liu Chengshuang on the kang, "Third brother, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that his daughter is embarrassed to be a father, she doesn't even know how to put a fart! ”
Liu Chengshuang's heart was cold for this family, but he had always been honest and didn't like to argue with others, so he spoke, "Yunxiang, so be it." ”
Yun Xiang pouted, "We are not picky about houses and fields, what about this chicken, this pig and money?" ”
"How big of a face do you dare to ask for chickens, pigs, and money!" Liu Wang's patience finally ran out, and she patted her leg while shouting, "Oh, I'm so old that people still worry about this and that...... Third child, you have no conscience! You're going to pick your father's skin and gnaw your father's bones! ”
"Yunxiang ......" This time, even the Zhou family couldn't stand such accusations.
"We feed almost all the chickens and pigs, why not?" Xiao Wu muttered, "I've grown so big, I haven't eaten meat a few times!" ”
As soon as Zhou's heart softened, he said, "Mother, we don't want much of this chicken, just one male and two females." ”
"Phew! I won't give you a single feather! Liu Wang pinched his waist, "Don't even think about it!" ”
"Ahem!" Liu Chengwen saw the scene stiff and quickly coughed twice, and shouted in a low voice, "Mother!" He gave Liu Wang a look again. It's almost over, don't mess it up because of two chickens. He didn't want to be burdened by this family.
Old Man Liu glared at Liu Wang's family, "The chicken is for you, it is pork...... When the New Year comes, I will give you ten catties. As for the silver......"
"Where is the silver?" Liu Wang jumped up from the kang, "You guys are trying to force me, an old immortal, to death!" The silver is all for Erlang to marry! I don't have a penny in my hand anyway. ”
Yun Xiang guessed that the family would suffer a loss, but what should be fought for is still to speak, it is naturally good to come, or let Liu Chengshuang see how much their family has lost what they should have.
"Now that we've talked about it, you'll ...... it today."
"Wait!" Yun Xiang interrupted Master Liu's words, ignored his dissatisfaction, and said, "How much do we need to honor Master and Grandma every year?" ”
"Just you? Still filial piety? Liu Xiu'er sneered, "It's good to be able to support yourself." ”
