Chapter 190: The new daughter-in-law enters the door
Zhang San's marriage came just in time for the autumn harvest, and the new daughter-in-law rolled up her sleeves and went to the ground within two days.
This year, not only will the Zhang family be busy with their own land, but also the 20 acres of land for the marriage, which will be handed over to them to plant wheat after the harvest is over.
These 20 acres of land were bought by Huang Dou and Zhao Dashan who knew that Brother Hang's mother, that is, the current Zhang San's family, and who had settled on them.
It is not so easy to buy land, and the ancient people regarded land as more important than their lives.
It just so happened that there was a landlord over there, and his family had hundreds of acres of land over there. Zhao Dashan released a message that he wanted to buy land, knowing that he was only buying 20 acres of land, and he took the initiative to come to the door.
Twenty acres, he is still willing to do it, and being able to have a relationship with the Huang family and the Zhao family is the key.
Twenty acres of land can be bought easily, and it can be handed over to Zhang San and his family after the autumn harvest.
Zhang San and his daughter-in-law took advantage of the gap when they came back from the field, and the two of them ran to take a closer look at the ground. There was also Zhang Laohan who went along, and he also wanted to see where the land was and how it was.
These twenty acres of land are not far from the Zhang family, and since the landlord wants to catch up with the Zhao family, the land sold to them is naturally not bad. Twenty acres of land is fertile land, and irrigation is also convenient, so it is really good land.
Zhang Laohan was very satisfied, if the twenty acres of land were good for him, the three sons could divide them. It's a pity that it's the dowry of the third family.
I heard that the man in front of the third family is cousins of the Zhao family at the Huanggang Wharf. The son born to the third family is still raised in his family, which is naturally extraordinary.
The old woman was shallow-eyed, thinking that it would be better to use the twenty acres of land of the third family and a few acres of land at home to feed a large family.
It's good, but the third family is definitely unwilling. If there is a disturbance, everyone will not look good.
Zhang Laohan began to think about it from the moment his daughter-in-law entered the door, and he didn't think about it until the end of the autumn harvest and autumn planting.
Dividing the family is to be divided, and how to divide it can make everyone satisfied.
Fortunately, the four sons and four daughters-in-law didn't say much, and the extra 20 acres of land were planted together. It is also because the family has cattle that they are busy so fast, not to mention the Zhang family, even in the whole village, there is no cattle.
Since the third daughter-in-law entered the door, Zhang Laohan got up early every day to cut the most tender grass and feed the cattle before he was busy with himself.
Several sons, no one is allowed to touch them, he watches every day. Reluctant to put the cattle outside, he deliberately built another cowshed in the east compartment to cover it tightly, and smoked wormwood at night.
In the words of Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Laohan can't wait to eat and live with the cow.
When plowing the land, it is called a fast, and this plow is also set by the third daughter-in-law to pay for the town, and ten acres of land a day come down, easily. But Zhang Laohan was reluctant to use it with his dead strength, so he ploughed for half a day and let it rest for half a day.
Half a day it plows out is enough for the whole family to work for a day. The whole family, even the children, went into battle to help harvest and plant, and the cattle were placed near the ridges to eat grass and drink water.
How many families came to help in the autumn harvest, and they all thought that the autumn planting would make his cattle. But Zhang Laohan's family has little land, and the land of the third daughter-in-law can only be obtained after the autumn harvest. Before a few families could reach out, his house was almost cleaned up.
Those who want to help but don't help people are very annoyed.
When it was planted in autumn, it only took three or four days to see that the Zhang family had planted more than 20 acres of land. Everyone couldn't help but come to the door and wanted to ask Zhang Laohan to take the cattle to their house to help for a day.
In the end, the Zhang family discussed for a night, and the main relatives' family helped to plant for half a day. The four brothers and Zhang Laohan took turns to take the cattle to go, only planting for half a day, and it was hot in the afternoon, so they must drive the cattle back to rest.
In this way, a cow wandered around a village for more than half a month, and the autumn planting was over.
It's time for the Zhang family to discuss how to divide the family.
Zhang Laohan just opened his mouth to say that he would divide the family, as for how to divide it, the brothers discussed it, the eldest son, the second son, and the younger son all looked at each other, and they didn't want to split up. Maybe I thought about it before, but now that there are 20 acres of land in the old three families, there is at least no problem with food and clothing for the whole family. It's really divided, everyone can only watch the third family eat meat, they can only smell it.
A few daughters-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't speak. The third daughter-in-law has just entered the door for a month, and she does not hesitate to do things, usually she doesn't say much, and she can't figure out her personality.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the third daughter-in-law spoke first: "Dad, mother, brother and sister-in-law, my father said that the family was divided because of the dowry I brought when I got married, and there was a cow on twenty acres of land." Our family's days are here, and I don't know how to speak, don't blame you if you say something wrong, the family is not divided for the time being......"
Hearing that the third family said that the family was not divided for the time being, the whole family, including Zhang Laohan and his wife, breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole family remained silent and continued to listen to the third daughter-in-law.
"I just got married, and I don't know anything with the third child, and I still have to watch my father and mother watch the land and cows. Wait three years, and then we will split up after three years. In the past three years, everyone will be able to plant and harvest, and don't divide yours and mine. With the rest of the money, our family will buy land, and if we can't buy land, we can open up wasteland. Isn't there a cow, and the land that has been opened for three years will not be too bad. You say, "Okay?" ”
Yes, of course.
After three years of cattle and land, the whole family can live a little easier. The third family doesn't know what to say, but it sounds good, so that everyone looks good. Whether it is the third or the third daughter-in-law, she is a good hand when she goes to the ground.
As soon as he said this, the whole family smiled.
At night, lying on the bed, Zhang Laosan couldn't help but sigh: "You discussed with me at the time and said that you would stay at home for three years, but I still didn't want to." Or you're right, you didn't look at your father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, in and out, and when you see me, you have to laugh a few more times than usual. ”
"Family, living together, why do you care so much. We eat and drink spicy food every day, they can't eat enough and dress warmly, you can eat and drink? It's better for everyone to work hard together for three more years, and after three years, everyone's life will be better, and we will be separated again, and we will not let others say that we have no conscience. ”
The third daughter-in-law lowered her head and sorted out her clothes, looked at the third child and said, "The two thousand yuan at the bottom of my box is thinking about handing over half of it to my father and mother, and keeping half for our own use." There are still six pieces of clothing, and I will make you an autumn dress and a winter coat, and I will not do it. Make one for each father and mother, and keep the rest for later use, so I won't give it to my brothers and sisters-in-law. ”
"That's not going to work." Zhang Laosan got up on his bones, and the third daughter-in-law thought that he was disgusted with less, and she sighed in her heart. Unexpectedly, Zhang Laosan opened his mouth and said:
"Give your father and mother a maximum of 200 yuan, and you don't use your money to buy a plow at home, although it will still be our thing in the future, but it's also your money to buy it. We have to live in the future, we have to build a house when we divide the family, you keep your money for yourself, and you have to have money if you want to have a snack in the future.
Just give the fabric to your father and mother, it's their business to do it or not, I'll make a winter coat, the autumn is not cold, and the paste can be passed, you can make a winter coat to wear, I look at the fabric. ”
Looking at the man in front of her, the third daughter-in-law smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
