Chapter 166: Separation (I)
Du Anxing has his own set of rhetoric, which can dispel the doubts in the hearts of Du Hepu and Zhang.
"Dad, mother, I want land, not just talking, but I really think it's much more appropriate to ask for land than to have a shop."
As soon as Zhang heard the word 'suitable', he immediately came to his senses.
"Oh? How do you say that? β
Du Anxing sat down in the kang, "You listen to my analysis and analysis!" In terms of the size of the house, the house in the village is bigger than the house in the town, right? β
Zhang nodded, the old mansion is four main houses, four side rooms on both sides, of course more spacious than the houses in the town. Strictly speaking, the back of the shop is just a small backyard.
"Besides, if we don't use the shop to do business and rent out the shop, how much rent can we charge?"
Du Hepu thought for a while, "Thirty taels, if this is the number, I'm afraid it won't be easy to rent." Twenty-five taels should be about the same. β
Zhang also nodded, she still knew what the market of the shops on the street was.
"Even if it's twenty-five taels! If we open our own shop, how much money can we earn all year round? β
Zhang sighed, "Our family has no capital, and there is no way to get the goods." Big business can't afford to do it, and small business doesn't make money. "If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been able to do a teahouse business.
"At the end of the year, you can earn thirty taels when you are full!" In the end, it is better to make hard-earned money than renting a shop.
Du Anxing said: "You see, even if we do our own business, we only have an income of more than 30 taels a year. Not to mention the small place to live, the cost of eating in the future will definitely increase. After the separation, the food produced in the family has nothing to do with us, and in the future, we will have to spend money to buy every grain of rice and every green onion! "In the past, the second room did business in the town, the big house planted grain in the countryside, and the grain collected by the family was directly sent to the town, and the vegetables planted were also sent to the town every once in a while, which made the second room invisibly save a lot of expenses.
When Du Hepu heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again, feeling that he was reasonable.
Zhang's is still a little unwilling, if she asks for land, she will be a peasant woman in the future, I am afraid that she will have to go to the field in the future, how hard it will be!
Du Anxing seemed to see Zhang's thoughts, and immediately said: "Mother, although farming is hard, there is a lot of income!" Look at our land, how fertile it is, and we can beat a lot more grain than other people's homes! This year, I followed my father to the field, and I can be regarded as seeing the gold of food! You don't know, our family started planting wheat in the spring and continued until the autumn harvest was completed, and the grain and vegetables in the vegetable field at home were far more than thirty taels inside and out! And what you eat is your own, raise some chickens, feed some pigs, and save a fortune. β
Zhang was also tempted.
Why is her mother's family poor? Isn't it because of a bunch of lazy people at home? Originally, the family also had more than a dozen acres of land, and it was not difficult for the whole family to eat enough to take care of it. However, because the family was lazy, the land was slowly deserted, and later the good land became poor, so it had to be sold indiscriminately, making the family poorer and poorer.
The poor had no land, so they had to go to the landlord's field to plant, and the landlord's rent was often very high, and after the tenants paid the rent, they could only have some barely subsistence rations, and there was nothing left.
The Du family is different. The Du family has 60 acres of fertile land, and more than 10 acres of wasteland that has been cleared, and when the year is good, the income of more than 30 yuan a Chinese New Year's Eve can definitely be earned.
"Dad, mother, think about it. If we stay in the country, eat well, and live spaciously, although it is harder, the income is only a lot more than when we were in the town. The most important thing is that I am still working in the town, and I also have two taels of silver every month, so that our family can earn at least fifty taels of silver a year, and after removing some of the family's expenses, it shouldn't be a problem to save half of it!? β
Du Hepu nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, Zhang couldn't help but waver.
"There are more people in the big house than us, it will definitely be very inconvenient to live in the town, and they have never done business, this shop is in their hands, I am afraid that nothing can be done!" Du Anxing saw that Zhang's eyes lit up, and then said, "Don't they just can't see us?" This time we will divide the family, we will want the land and house in the countryside, let them take a look at the big house, our second room, life will be better day by day, how can we be better than them! β
Zhang couldn't help nodding, feeling that her son's words had gone to her heart, but when she thought of the work of waiting for the crops in the field, she still felt a little unhappy in her heart, and she always felt that she had lost.
Seeing this, Du Anxing lowered his eyes and thought about it, and said: "Forget it, don't think about it, the benefits of the land are obvious, how can it be our turn!" My grandmother has always been eccentric, and with such benefits, it is natural to give it to the big house. β
His words seem to be unintentional, but they actually have a deep meaning.
Du Hepu wrinkled his brows, Zhang's anger was puffing, and his face was full of indignation.
Du Anxing felt that the foreshadowing was almost over, so he didn't speak again.
The rest is up to tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Li got up early.
She changed her clothes very solemnly, and went to Du's father's tablet, carefully took incense, and chattered at his tablet for a long time.
Du Yuniang watched from a distance, and didn't hear what the Li family said.
It must have been all about separation.
She silently walked away and went to make breakfast.
It didn't take long for the people in the big room and the second room to get up, today is a big day, and even Zhang, who has always liked to sleep lazy, got up early.
The atmosphere was weird, and breakfast was finished.
Everyone is thinking about the separation of the family, who still has the heart to think about eating.
After breakfast, Du Yuniang and Liu quickly cleaned up, and it didn't take long to clean up.
Only then did Li say to Du Ankang: "Kangzi, you can take a trip and invite Li Zheng and the old people in the village!" β
There was no smile on Du Ankang's face, "Got it." He turned and walked out of the house, and when he passed by Du Anxing, he hit him hard.
A look of pain flashed on Du Anxing's face, but he secretly said in his heart that he was naΓ―ve.
Zhang yelled at Du Ankang's back: "You did it on purpose, right? β
No one paid attention to her.
After about a pillar of incense, Shi Sansuo came to Du's house with several prestigious old people in the village.
Li invited a few people into the upper room and asked Liu to prepare tea and snacks, and then said: "I invited Li Zheng and a few uncles to come today, I want you to be a witness!" β
When Li Shi said this, her eyes were a little sour, but she raised her eyebrows and suppressed the sourness, before continuing: "The tree is big and the people are going to be divided, and the people's congress is going to be separated, and my two sons are also going to be grandfathers, so this family should also be divided." β
