Chapter 43: Separated

"Grandpa!"

Cao'er came home from school at noon and saw her grandfather sitting on the sofa at home for the first time.

Grandpa was still the same, sitting on the sofa with his hands crossed, silent. When he saw his granddaughter coming back from school, he nodded, but there was still no expression on his face.

Lao Yuntou is like this, when he is happy, his facial muscles will relax a little, his eyebrows and eyes seem to stretch a little, and when he encounters troubles, his eyebrows and eyes will be tightened, and he seems to be more serious. But no matter whether he is happy or not, there will be no big emotions on the face of Cao'er's grandfather.

The arrival of grandpa really made Cao'er very happy.

She thought, it won't be to discuss with her father and mother about moving back, so she will have to go back at noon on Wednesday and go back on Friday night like the classmates who were admitted to Yunjia Village. Oh, no, Dad is still working here, I guess I won't be allowed to go back on Wednesday, and I will definitely be out of the way when I go back on Saturday morning.

Cao'er secretly pondered like this. But my father and mother were both cooking in the kitchen, so I didn't dare to ask my grandfather about moving.

After eating, Cao'er got her mother's instructions to send her grandfather to the school gate. Who knew that the grandfather said that his granddaughter still had classes in the afternoon, so she hurried to write her homework and rest after eating, so as not to delay the class, how could she not let her granddaughter send it.

Cao'er was so anxious that she couldn't do it, and she said that she had to send it, and she was so anxious that she couldn't wait to shout and say, "Grandpa, you just let me send you", but grandpa still insisted on leaving by himself.

A good opportunity to inquire is gone. Grass returned to her room in frustration.

Dad and Mom were chatting in the living room.

"Then you go back on the weekend, I won't go back."

Cao'erniang discussed with Cao'er's father while knitting a sweater.

"Okay, I'll go over on Saturday morning, and I guess I'll have to have a meal at noon, and I'll be back in the afternoon."

Cao'er's father spoke calmly, and what he said seemed to be his usual walking.

Cao'er pricked up her ears and tried to listen, but she couldn't understand what her parents were saying she was going back for. But what is certain is that going back definitely means going back to my hometown.

Cao'er didn't feel like she was going to move back, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost. But Dad offered to go home, which was a good thing to shorten the distance between the two families and ease the conflict.

On Saturday morning, Cao'er and her parents had breakfast together, and everyone was quiet.

Cao'er wanted to ask her father if she would go back to her hometown, but she held back the words when she came to her lips. She could only wait, watching while waiting.

Fortunately, after eating breakfast, Dad rested for a while, and then went out, listening to his goodbye to his mother, he should go back. Cao'er's heart jumped for joy, and she waited for the news that her father had returned to bring back.

It's just past lunchtime. Cao'er's father locked the bicycle in the carport and went upstairs into the house.

"So long! I thought I would be able to eat and go home before eleven o'clock! “

"Well, there was an argument for a while. But it's all over. “

Cao'er's father was slightly tired.

"You came back empty-handed."

Cao Er Niang said with a playful smile.

"Yes, this family, I didn't take anything except a few rooms for the elderly to live in, and I didn't even ask for an old tank."

……

As soon as Cao'er heard the word separation, her brain exploded.

Her dream of moving back was shattered.

The hometown is separated, here, it is really her home, and when she goes back to see her grandmother, is it different? Cao'er couldn't wait to run back to her hometown immediately.

In the countryside, there are indeed many trivial things and frictions between the concubines and brothers, and many families are brothers, and after they become families, they are separated into a small family.

As far as the Yun family is concerned, the eldest son has already moved, and Yun Ling is also married. With the marriage of Yun Gang and Yun Jin, Yun Yi and Yun Xiu also graduated from junior high school, completed nine years of compulsory education, and returned home to work to support themselves.

The family held a family meeting and decided to split the family, Cao'er's grandfather would go to Cao'er's house, and Cao'er's parents would inform Cao'er's parents about the separation, depending on what Cao'er's parents thought. If there is no opinion, the brothers are separated, and Cao'er's father, as the eldest of the Yun family brothers, will also be present.

The Yun family did not have too complicated property relations, everyone got together and counted the family's houses, deposits, grain, timber and other large and small objects, and divided them. At the same time, the three old people in the family, Grandma Cao'er, Grandpa Cao'er, and the daughter-in-law left by Grandpa Cao'er's brother, and Grandma Cao'er, all made the distribution of support.

Cao'er's grandmother originally asked to follow her eldest son's family, so that she could take care of Cao'er, but the contradiction with Cao'er's mother was too deep, and the two really didn't deal with each other, so they changed to follow the third child, but the premise was that Cao'er had to take time to come back on weekends and holidays.

Cao'er's grandfather followed Cao'er's family and lived in his hometown temporarily.

Cao'er's grandmother, who has been living alone before, left early because of excessive drinking when her wife was young, and has no children.

After the separation, the fundamental difference is that the family does its own work, its own income goes into its own pocket, and its own food is eaten. But usually during the New Year's holidays, each family has to give some food and clothing to the old people of their parents to show filial piety. It's still common to chat at home.

The blood connection between parents and brothers is still continuous. It's just that genealogy is not practiced in this era, but the family style of each family will still be naturally formed.

The Yun family brothers are also quite harmonious, but bumps and bumps are inevitable. But it's all such a trivial matter as today you are missing a chicken, and tomorrow he loses a duck. When treating the elderly, they still give what they should give, and they do not slack off. Occasionally, the daughter-in-law's mouth is broken, and Grandma Cao'er is also very good at her mouth, so no one wants to bully her.

After the separation, the eldest Yun Yi and Yun Xiu of the Yun family followed their mother as a family.

The eldest Yunxin moved to become his own family, but he regularly gave his father Lao Yuntou rice and grain money every month.

The second Yungang took his daughter-in-law and Cao'er's grandmother as a family.

Lao Sanyunjin also brought his new daughter-in-law to the family, but provided his mother with rice and grain every month.

After the family was divided, Cao'er went back to her hometown to live with her grandmother, and she would also be seen eating at the house of the two uncles. But it's absolutely impossible to move back.

When Cao'er was in the fourth grade, Cao'er's mother became pregnant, and as everyone wished, she gave birth to a younger brother.

Cao'er's mother asked Cao'er to help take her younger brother. So, Cao'er accepted the task very happily, and she also liked this younger brother, small, white, fleshy, and extremely cute. The sister and brother are also very emotional.

In this way, Cao'er began to gradually regard this home with her parents as home. But it is precisely because of this, that she could not be satisfied in this home, so in her heart, she began to yearn for a new home, a new home composed of herself, a home that she had the final say like her parents.

In this way, after the ten-year-old grass's self-consciousness began to gradually awaken, no matter how weak or even cowardly she was, her ego was springing up like mushrooms after a rain and yearning for maturity.

So, when she felt more and more that she was not understood and respected by her parents and the people around her, especially when her mother kept saying that she was a piece of wood, she would move if she kicked it, and she would not move if she didn't kick, she transferred her distress and grievances to the construction of her ideal new home.

In her imaginary ideal home, she is equal and harmonious with everyone, and there is no blame or reprimand at all. Yes, just love and warmth.

Of course, in this family, there is her and the person she likes.
