Chapter Seventy-Four: The Tian Family's Old Mansion
If you are in trouble, we have to help, if we are in difficulty, you can run to a stop!
Don't be too serious about double standards!
Of course, she just complained in her heart, the decision of whether to help or not is in their hands, and there is no need to worry too much.
"That's for sure, even if we are separated, we are still relatives." Tian Dazhuang's simple and honest way is very impressive.
"What about other things, don't you give three points to the old one?" The village chief asked, "They don't have anything!" ”
Mrs. Tian grinded her teeth, and before she could speak, Old Man Tian said first, "Give Da Zhuang a portion of the farm tools, pots and bowls at home, and the cattle are raised on our side, and come and pull them when you want to use them." ”
"Da Zhuang, what do you think?" The village chief asked.
Tian Dazhuang nodded, "Yes, let's do it like this." ”
Since the parties had no opinions, the village chief called the eldest grandson who was waiting next to him to write the family separation paperwork.
In quadruplicate, one copy is kept in the village, one copy is kept by Tian Laotou and Tian Dazhuang, and the last copy is to be registered in the county government and kept as a file.
After reading that there is no problem, each copy should be pressed with a red handprint, not only by Tian Laotou and Tian Dazhuang, but also by the village head, the patriarch and the five clan elders who are witnesses.
At this point, the division is considered to be completed sixty percent, and the remaining forty percent will have to wait until the village chief takes the four documents to the county office, the county order is stamped, the documents are registered, and one of them is put into the file of Ueda Village.
After pressing the handprints, the village chief, the patriarch and others left, and the old man Tian asked several daughters-in-law to pack the remaining snacks, and another gave a small bag of candy to thank them for this trip.
……
The next day's breakfast was still eaten in the yard.
After eating, the old man Tian said: "The third child is not in a hurry to leave, it is not too late for you to move when the family paperwork comes down, you will still eat at home these days, and the house matter, you live in the old house at the foot of the mountain, and wait for the hand to be ready, you can repair it and continue to live, or rebuild it, but I told you in advance that this old house belongs to the Tian family, and we can't make a decision, and it can't be assigned to your name." ”
"Dad, it's okay, I'll live first, and then buy a piece of land when I make money." Tian Dazhuang said with a smile.
"That's okay, just think about it."
"Dad, we're going to clean the house today, and we won't come back to eat at noon."
"Okay, I'll talk to your mother when I go back."
Seeing that the old man Tian entered the hall, Tian Qingan grabbed Tian Dazhuang, "Dad, is the house you said before an old mansion?" ”
"Yes, it's at the foot of the mountain, close to the ground, sometimes the village people will live when the farm is busy, it's very clean, and there are many rooms, and when your mother has eaten, let's go over and clean it."
"Dad, I'll go too."
"Go, let's all see." Tian Dazhuang smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go get food for your mother first." ”
Tian Dazhuang rowed Tian Qing'an across the river, and he waited on the boat.
The lunch meal was very hearty, two meat and one vegetable, one eggplant fried meat, one bean fried meat, and a cold salad with tomatoes and cucumbers sprinkled with sugar.
After Chen Qiao'e and the three of them had dinner, Tian Qingyu and Chen Qiao'e covered their faces, and the family went to the old house at the foot of the mountain.
The old house was at a corner of the mountain, at the bottom of the cliff, just sheltered from the wind and rain, and although it was already old, the house did not look very dilapidated.
This should have been a big mansion, and the courtyard wall was more than 20 meters wide, and the gate alone was more than 3 meters.
"Dad, is this the landlord's house? Was the Lao Tian family originally a landlord? Tian Qingan asked curiously, only the big landlord's family would have such a big house, right?
The nearby villages are not rich, and there are few fields, and there are almost no landlords here, and naturally there will be no big mansions or anything.
"No, this was originally the ancestral house of the Tian family, at that time, there were few people in the clan, and the ancestral industry was still there, so we could afford to build this big mansion...... This was hundreds of years ago, and I heard my elders say it when I was a child. ”
Hundreds of years?
Then this house is of good quality, it hasn't collapsed yet!
As if knowing her thoughts, Tian Dazhuang explained: "It was built twice in the middle, otherwise it would have been ruined." ”
Entering the gate, it is a corridor, and at the end is a row of houses, four large rooms, which have not been renovated for a long time, and look much newer than the gate.
"Let's live here in the future, four rooms, one for me and your mother, one for red dates and green jade, and one for peas and Qingyang." Tian Dazhuang pointed to the house and said, with a smile on his face.
Chen Qiao'e and Tian Qingyu were also full of smiles, only Pea was not very happy, tiptoeing, pulling Tian Dazhuang's sleeve, "Dad, I want to sleep with my mother!" ”
"No, you sleep with your two sisters first, and when your eldest brother comes back, you can sleep with Qingyang!" Tian Dazhuang has a straight face, it's not good to have children, he always robs his daughter-in-law with him!
If you have the ability to marry a daughter-in-law and sleep with you, how can you sleep with my daughter-in-law if you always want to!?
"Mother-" Pea looked at her mother pitifully.
"Well, sleep with my sister at night, and the red dates will tell you stories."
yes, I almost forgot...... Pea, reluctantly agreed.
"Mother, the yard in front is so big, we can grow vegetables!" Tian Qingan looked at the land in front of him excitedly, and suddenly felt like a big landlord.
There is also a row of fruit trees planted along the courtyard wall, and the trees are full of green fruits, and when autumn comes, there will be fruit to eat.
"Well, you really have to plant, otherwise you won't even have food to eat." Chen Qiao'e said, "In the afternoon, I turned the ground, and you took the peas to Aunt Chen's house to ask for some vegetable seeds." ”
Every family in the village grows vegetables, and if you want to buy vegetables, you can only go to the town or the county seat.
……
The family went around four houses.
The bedrooms are all kang, because someone has lived in them, and they are very clean except for a layer of ash.
After turning around, Tian Qingan found, "Dad, there is no thatched house and kitchen!" ”
"The thatched house is in the back, and the kitchen is ...... Dad looked for someone to take one. ”
"Dad, what's in the back, is it also a house?"
"Well, let's go, Dad will take you to have a look." Chen Qiao'e and Tian Qingyu were left to clean up, and the father and son went to the back.
The houses in the back are very dilapidated, and many of them have collapsed.
"Don't forget to come back if it's okay, some houses look good, no one knows when they will collapse, red dates, you are optimistic about peas, don't let him run back, you know?"
"Yes." Tian Qingan pointed to the collapsed houses and asked, "Dad, why don't you tear down these houses, how good it is to plant all the vegetables, and you can take them out and sell them if you can't finish eating." ”
"No, this is left by the ancestors, and it can't be dismantled casually." Tian Dazhuang explained, "The village has always wanted to repair it, but there is no money. ”
After standing in the back for two minutes, Tian Dazhuang didn't dare to let them in to see.
Back to the front, the family of five began to clean.
The room was empty, except for a few creaky tables and a few benches, which had been cleaned before lunch.
Tian Qingan went to the other side of the river to get food and the family ate, but did not go back to the courtyard of Tian's house.
