099, separation
On the morning of the fourth day of the new year, not long after Liu Jiaojiao and Liu Jun arrived at the village chief's house, Liu Da came.
He came alone, with the letter of separation written by Liu Ermu and the separation document written by Liu Sanlin.
He first handed the book of separation to Liu Jiaojiao, and then handed the document of separation to the village chief, and did not say a single superfluous word throughout the whole process, his face was calm, but if he looked closely, he would find that there was a trace of determination and desolation.
Liu Jiaojiao didn't know much about the documents of this era, out of prudence, let the village chief help take a look, the village chief looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Jiao girl, this harmony is very clear, your second uncle is willing to leave, did not say that your second aunt is not good, and in the future, men and women will marry, and they have nothing to do with each other." As he spoke, he handed her back the book and asked her to put it away properly, and go back to Song Chunhua to get it.
Liu Jiaojiao put her mind at ease, thanked the village chief, and handed the book of separation to Liu Jun for him to keep, and then said to Liu Da: "Master, I have discussed with my brother, except for giving the old mansion to you, we don't want the acres of land and things that my father and mother left to my brother." In addition, we will pay one-third of the silver needed to rebuild the Liu family, and every year my brother and I will give you twenty taels of silver as filial piety silver, and we will also pay one-third of the funeral expenses of the two of you in the future. ”
Liu Da was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned red, and this man who had stopped crying since he was sensible had the urge to cry for the first time.
One is moved, the other is regretted.
He knew very well what the Liu family had done, and before he came today, he was ready to be embarrassed by Liu Jiaojiao to return the things left in the big house, but he didn't expect that she not only didn't want anything, but even ......
The old man, who had been tough for most of his life, finally couldn't bear it anymore, squatted down, hugged his head and wept silently.
He repented!
He's sorry for the eldest and his family, I'm sorry for Liu Jun's grandson, and I'm sorry for Liu Jiaojiao, a good girl who repays her grievances with virtue!
Is Liu Jiaojiao really repaying her grievances with virtue? Not.
She just wants to establish a good image for Liu Jun, how the Liu family treats this eldest grandson, the people in the village can see it clearly, although the words just now came out of her mouth, but because of the age and the grievances of the Liu family, most people will feel that these are actually Liu Jun's ideas.
So, invisibly, Liu Jun will get a good reputation, of course, there will definitely be people who think he is too stupid, the Liu family treats him like this, he even comes to repay his grievances with virtue, but stupidity is equivalent to good character to some extent, because only people with good character will be broad-minded and don't care.
For Liu Jiaojiao, money is just something outside the body, who let her have a plug-in that can earn money, if she just spends a little money, she can set up a good character for Liu Jun, why not?
This thing is easy to be slapped in the face in the modern era of translucent information, but in this era when traffic and information are relatively closed, it is undoubtedly a very useful signboard.
The village chief saw the key point, but he wisely chose not to break it, and he was counting on his humble son to be able to get some light from the Liu Jun brothers and sisters in the future.
Because they gave gifts to the clan elders in advance, the old men did not act as demons, and the other Liu family who liked to do things did not come, so the separation went very smoothly, and the two parties signed the paperwork, which took effect immediately.
Before leaving, Liu Da suddenly said to Liu Jiaojiao: "In the future, I will be optimistic about the old woman and will not let her regain right and wrong, although your second uncle is not angry, fortunately, he still listens to me, as long as I am still here, I can keep an eye on him, but your third uncle ...... From now on, stay as far away as you can from him! ”
After speaking, he held his hands and left without looking back, his steps were slightly messy, and his heart was obviously very chaotic.
Liu Jiaojiao didn't expect him to remind himself to be careful of Liu Sanlin, isn't that his favorite little son, the baby of the family?
Liu Jun understood it and explained to her: "Ye should have understood that he has remorse, and he doesn't want us to continue to target, but he knows the character of the third uncle, and he can't control it, so I'm afraid that he will have another incident, so I specially remind you." ”
The village chief answered: "You grandfather, when you were young, you had a good idea, and you don't know what, the older you get, the more difficult your brain becomes, and you can't tell the difference between good and bad, but now it seems that you have finally opened your mind." Delicate girl, standing in his position, it is good to be able to do this. ”
Liu Jiaojiao said with a smile: "I understand, in fact, if you think about it carefully, he has never really done anything too much to me and my brother, it is my grandmother and the third uncle's family who are constantly finding fault there." Don't worry, I'm a person with clear grievances and a good idea. ”
The village chief nodded and said, "It's good that you know it in your heart, by the way, you just said that you would give them the old mansion, are you ready to leave the village?" ”
"I can't say that I have left the village completely, after all, this is where my brother grew up, but for the time being, I will live in the town, and then we will buy a piece of land in the village and start a new house. Grandpa the village chief, I won't hide it from you, I will have a restaurant in the town in a few days, and there is a shortage of people in the store, do you think Brother Liu Qiang is interested in coming to me to do things? Don't worry, I'm sure I won't treat him badly. ”
"Yes! Absolutely! The village chief directly made a decision for Liu Qiang, and was overjoyed, "You can arrange him to do anything, although this kid doesn't talk much, but he can endure hardships, you can just look at the treatment!" ”
Liu Jiaojiao is a person who doesn't like to force others, so she suggested: "Why don't you ask him first?" ”
The village chief wanted to make a decision directly, but seeing the persistence in her eyes, he still nodded, "That's okay, I'll ask him when he comes back." "Asking is also going through the motions, that kid dares to disagree and discount his legs!
The matter had been done, so the two didn't stay long, and went to Lao Li Tou's house after saying goodbye to the village chief.
Liu Jiaojiao and Liu Jun both wanted to take Lao Li Tou to the town, Liu Jiaojiao wanted to continue to study with him for convenience, and fooled him to go to the kitchen of the restaurant, but Liu Jun was not worried that he would stay in the village alone and wanted to take care of him nearby.
After listening to the words of the two, Lao Li Tou asked, "Where do you live in the town?" If I want to live in Old Man Lei's house, I won't go, so I don't have to quarrel all day long! ”
What an old enemy!
Liu Jiaojiao smiled and motioned for Liu Jun to answer with her eyes.
Liu Jun glanced at her helplessly, and then said to Lao Li: "Actually, Jiaojiao has a house in the town, which she bought after selling medicine, but she never went to live there. After you go to the town with us, I will live there with you, and Jiaojiao will live casually on both sides of the Lei Mansion and the house, after all, Lei Dong's family is her grandfather, and she, as a granddaughter, always has to accompany him. ”
Lao Li Tou knew that Liu Jiaojiao earned some silver by selling medicine, but she didn't expect that she would earn so much that she could buy a house in the town, which would be at least a few hundred taels! And opening a restaurant in the town is also a big investment, it must have picked extremely precious herbs to sell them at such a high price, is this girl's talent in medicinal materials so high?
He deliberately looked at Liu Jiaojiao with a straight face, and asked in a serious tone: "Jiaojiao, to be honest with Master, since you are so talented in collecting medicines, why do you have to learn cooking from me instead of studying medicine with Old Man Lei?" ”
Liu Jiaojiao had already guessed that this question would be asked one day, and replied without changing her face and heartbeat: "Actually, I really don't have any talent in medicine, I can only identify herbs, but I can't cure diseases and save people." It depends on luck to pick good things when you pick medicine, but luck can't be with me for a lifetime, right? So of course I choose what I like more and can learn relatively well! ”
This reason makes sense, and she is indeed extremely talented in cooking, often able to draw inferences, and has a lot of fresh ideas in her head, which Lao Li Tou has to admit.
Putting away Fang Cai's seriousness, he returned to his normal expression and said in a lesson-telling tone: "Cooking skills are important, you have to persevere, since you have decided to concentrate on learning to cook, you have to work harder in the future, you know?" ”
"Abide by Master's teachings, disciples must study hard and live up to Master's painstaking efforts!" Liu Jiaojiao straightened her expression and bowed to Lao Li.
is the so-called "strict teacher produces high apprentice", so the more strict Lao Li Tou is with her, the happier she is, so that she can learn real skills and lay a solid foundation.
Although Liu Jun felt a little sorry for her, she also knew that Lao Li Tou was for her good, so she didn't speak out for her.
He really loves this sister very much, and he can give everything for her and respond to her needs, but he also knows what is really good for her, so he will not blindly spoil her.
Blind spoiling without a bottom line will ruin a person, and spoiling with a bottom line is the right thing to do.
Lei Zhong had already returned to the town on the morning of the third day of junior high school, if it weren't for Liu Jiaojiao's good talk, he would definitely wait for them to go together.
Finally, his granddaughter is finally willing to go to live in the town with him, can he not be happy and excited?
Although there were two more oil bottles Liu Jun and Lao Li Tou, for the sake of them not living with him and being willing to let Jiaojiao live with him, he turned a blind eye and endured it.
As soon as he returned to the town, he drove everyone in the house to take action, tidying up the room that was brand new Liu Jiaojiao again, and didn't care that it was still during the Chinese New Year, he began to walk around the town, vowing to find a top location for his baby granddaughter to open a restaurant.
The butler, who was forced to follow him around the town, said that he was so tired, and prayed countless times a day for the young lady to come to the town quickly, otherwise his old arms and legs would be folded in the hands of his own convulsive master sooner or later.
