Old Man Yang coughed unnaturally and said, "Give them the house they live in now, and give them another 10 catties of white flour and 10 catties of rice." ”

"That's it?" Rizheng asked.

Old Man Yang nodded under the suspicious gazes of the three of them.

Patriarch Yang stared at Old Man Yang with a torch in his eyes, "Erzhu, this is your family, Changfa is not your son?" "It's not good for Li Zheng to take care of other people's family affairs, but the patriarch can manage it.

Old Man Yang looked at Patriarch Yang embarrassedly, "Patriarch, this is what we have already said, and the second child has already agreed." ”

Patriarch Yang glared at Old Man Yang, turned his head to look at Yang Changfa and said, "Changfa, you agreed. "Yang

Changfa nodded, the Yang family had already said it and Yang Changfa agreed, so it was not easy for the Yang patriarch to say anything, and then Yang Xiucai wrote down these discussed things in triplicate.

When Yang Xiucai was writing, Wu came in and said to Li Zheng: "Li Zheng, since all these things have been written, then the offerings of our old couple must also be written!" ”

When Xiao Yue heard this, she just wanted to say that this person was really thick-skinned, but there was no way to do it. It is natural for the son of this separated family to make offerings, and she and Yang Changfa will no longer say anything about making offerings.

Li Zheng said to Wu, "How much is the offering every year?" ”

Wu said: "Every year, 5 taels of silver, 1 stone of rice and 1 stone of white flour, the fabric of each of our old couple's four clothes, and the usual rituals. "At this time, 1 stone is equivalent to 100 catties in the previous life, and there is really no such much offering in Linshui Village. Li Zheng and the patriarch heard Wu's words, and their faces darkened.

Yang Changfa glanced at Wu and said, "Mother, 3 taels of silver every year, 50 catties of rice and 50 catties of noodles, cloth and festival gifts, these are the offerings I can give." If you don't, give me a few more acres of land. ”

Wu shouted: "What do you want, don't let the rest of the family live, right, it's all for you, the old lady gave birth to you, and now let you give you something for the elderly, shouldn't it?" God, if you are not filial, you should be thundered. ”

Yang Changfa interrupted Wu's scolding in a cold voice, "Mother, I was raised by my grandfather, when you didn't pay for the conscription and didn't want my eldest brother to let me go, didn't you just say that your life was given by you and asked me to give you my life, I have already given my life back to you, and now I can live that is my life, don't always use you to give birth to me to threaten me in the future." ”

Xiao Yue didn't know that Yang Changfa went to the battlefield for such a reason, and it was very distressing to hear him say this at this time, especially when he said these words, he was a little self-deprecating and a little helpless and aggrieved, Xiao Yue really wanted to hug him and comfort him, but there were many people in the courtyard at this time, so she could only suppress this emotion.

Xiao Yue said to Old Man Yang: "Dad, the two of us can only give you these things, do you agree?" ”

Old man Yang's face is also very bad, he is angry with Yang Changfa, those words are said at home, just forget it, at this time, the yard is full of people with heads and faces in the village, Yang Changfa's words really make the family embarrassed.

Old Man Yang complained about him very much, but Xiao Yue's words made everyone's attention on him again. Old Man Yang's face softened and he said, "Okay, just do what the second child said!" "Hurry up and get them out, lest you make yourself angry.

Yang Xiucai wrote the document of separation, and the old man Yang and Yang Changfa pressed their fingerprints, and Li Zheng took a copy, which was to go to the yamen to manage the household registration in exchange for the household post. Since then, Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue have become a separate family, and all kinds of taxes and forced labor will be separated in the future.

After the separation of the family was agreed, Li Zheng, the patriarch, and Yang Xiucai stayed at the Yang family for dinner.

After eating, Yang Changfa went out to find the people in the village who built houses for people on weekdays, and wanted to build a stove for their own family, because when the Wu family came to give them the rice and noodles after dividing the family, he told them that they had already separated the family, and the two of them were not allowed to eat with the family anymore.

Yang Changfa found Brother Li from the same village, and he built houses for people everywhere on weekdays. Brother Li's people are good, that is, his daughter-in-law Li and sister-in-law Li talk long and short all day long, and Yang Changfa's sister-in-law Li and Osmanthus Niang are the long-tongued women in the village.

Xiao Yue discussed with Yang Changfa to build a stove at the door of the house, so that the fumes in the house could go out soon when he was eating. Because there are no green bricks to use stones and yellow mud bases, as long as there are 2 stove eyes, one to cook rice and one to cook vegetables, the stove is relatively simple, and it is good to put it for a day to let the stove dry. The surface of the stove is smeared with yellow mud.

Xiao Yue thought that when building a new house in the future, he must build a stove with blue bricks, and then use stone slabs to pave the stovetop, so that it looks clean and tidy.

At dinner, Xiao Yue took Yang Chang back to Xiao's house.

At the dinner table, Zheng asked Xiao Yue, "Yue'er, how do you divide the family?" ”

Xiao Yue said: "The house we live in is ours, and there are 10 catties of noodles and 10 catties of rice. ”

Zheng's face became very unsightly because of Xiao Yue's words, "What about offerings?" ”

"3 taels of silver every year, 50 catties of noodles and 50 catties of rice, four clothes and festivals. It's nothing, the two of us will be better off if we are diligent. Xiao Yue was worried about Yang Changfa, so she gave Zheng a look when she spoke.

Zheng saw her daughter's hint and understood what she meant, so she gritted her teeth and didn't say anything more. As long as his daughter is separated. When she didn't break up, she was always afraid that the Wu family would bully her, but now it's good to be separated.

Daddy Xiao didn't say much, just let Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue live their lives well.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa went to the town, and they had nothing but to go to the town to buy it.

Because there were many things to buy, Yang Changfa went to Xiao's house to borrow an ox cart.

After arriving in the town, I put the ox cart in a special place to put the cart, and I gave two cents to others to help me look at it.

The two first went to the grocery store, and Xiao Yue bought salt, sugar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, vinegar and other spices, and bought bowls, plates, chopsticks and other things.

When she went to the blacksmith shop and bought a large and small iron pot and kitchen knife, a spatula and a big spoon for stir-frying, Xiao Yue thought about it, and now everything in her house is in that room, so she bought another lock.

I went to the grain store and bought some brown rice and cornmeal, and I also bought some white flour and white rice. In order to save money, most of the people in the village eat coarse grains. Although Xiao Yue is not used to eating, she has no picky capital at present. In order to be able to eat white rice and white noodles in the future, Xiao Yue thought that she must make more money.

By the way, I bought some soybeans and mung beans, and Xiao Yue planned to send some bean sprouts. There was a lot of food bought, Xiao Yue discussed it with the shopkeeper, and temporarily put everything in the grain store and waited to pick it up.

Wooden basins, wooden barrels, and boards, when Xiao Yue returned to her parents' house yesterday, she asked her father to help make them, and she also bought a few jars and jars.

went to the pharmacy to buy the seasoning to use, but Xiao Yue hadn't found the pepper yet, and it seemed that she would have to follow Yang Changfa to the mountains to find it one day.

At the butcher's stall, I bought another plate of lard and a few catties of pork. I went to buy soaphorn powder for washing clothes and pancreas for bathing and washing hair, and felt that the things were almost finished, so Xiao Yue asked Yang Changfa to drive the ox cart over and go to the grain store to get food.

Xiao Yue thought about it and went to the cloth village to buy a navy blue cotton cloth, pink, light yellow, and dark purple cotton cloth also bought 5 feet each, and now it is the end of April, and the weather is slowly getting hotter, and she is going to start making summer clothes.

She was going to leave some dark blue cloth for Yang Changfa to make one, and the pale yellow cloth for herself. The rest of the cloth was given to her mother, so that she could also make a dress for everyone in the family.

When he returned home, the Li family was working in the yard, and when he saw Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa buying so many things back, he squinted at them, "Second brother, where did you go to make your fortune?" Buying so many things? ”

Xiao Yue watched her stretch her neck to see what she bought, and felt that this person was as annoying as a buzzing fly, so she turned her back to Li to block her view.

Li looked at the things bought back from the second room, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that they had hidden private money. Otherwise, how could you have the money to buy so many things in one split family, she rolled her eyes and bumped Xiao Yue in front of her with her elbow, "Second brother and sister, how much money have you hidden in your private house, you just split up to buy so many things?" ”

Xiao Yue turned to her, "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, how much money can we have." There's nothing here, so there's a lot to buy. If we had no money, we had to borrow, and we borrowed a foreign debt of 10 taels of silver. Sister-in-law, let's see if you want to borrow something first and let us pay off the debt, after all, we are a family, and we can say anything!"

Li Shi's face suddenly turned unpleasant when he heard this, and he looked at Xiao Yue with disdain, "Second brother and sister, we are all separated, so you can borrow money and pay it back yourself." If you don't have money, don't slap your swollen face and become fat, buy so many things, you deserve to be in debt. After Li finished speaking, he twisted her big ass and left.

Xiao Yue rolled her eyes at the back of the Li family, if she didn't say that, the Li family would not leave, it really made her feel that her family was rich, and this was not peaceful.

After moving the things, Yang Changfa went to Xiao's house to return the ox cart, Xiao Yue also took the cloth he bought for his father, and the two went to Xiao's house together and took back the board, barrel and tub made by Xiao's father.

Now in Yang Changfa's house, there is a stove on the left side of the door, Xiao Yue put the table next to the stove and put the board on it. The board in the countryside is huge, almost the size of an entire table. The makeup and other things were put on the box at the top of the kang. The spices, kitchen knives, dishes, etc. bought were placed in the middle of the board, and the food was placed in the old wardrobe. The new wardrobe has been moved to the place where the table was placed.

Xiao Yue looked at the stove and felt that it was almost dry, and she had to wait a little longer, but Xiao Yue was in a hurry to use it, so she couldn't care so much.
