Chapter 22 The Turmoil of Land Division
"Sister-in-law, you choose the house first, and you pick the rest of the house we live in."
Hearing her explain the situation in a few words, and the way she smiled and groaned, she immediately choked Zhu Juan's anger.
In fact, in Meng Hongling's opinion, the most suitable land for her eldest brother's family in the south is exactly three acres, and if their family is contracted, others don't have to bother.
But she also knew that her sister-in-law would definitely not agree to this idea, and this kind of occasion was not suitable for her to talk more, so she didn't speak.
The two brothers, Meng Hongtu and Meng Hongyuan, hadn't spoken yet, but the old man knew that none of the brothers wanted to go to the south and let the eldest daughter-in-law make such a mess, and that kind of division just now would definitely not work.
Thinking of this, he said, "Then how do you want to divide it?" You brothers are both on the west side, so let me and your mother go south to farm? ”
Hearing the old man's words, it was no longer good, Meng Hongtu immediately said, "Dad, Xiaojuan, she didn't mean that, I chose the house first, so of course there is no problem of partiality, it is dissatisfaction, and it is not up to us to say it, the younger brother and sister put it forward." ”
"But my land and Xiaojuan's land have been planted in the west, if Rui Rui and Xiaojie's land is divided to the south, it will not be convenient to go back to farming, speaking of which is close to the riverbank, there is no difference, it is nothing more than a matter of being closer and farther."
Hearing Meng Hongtu say this, Cui Xiaoyan felt deceitful after hearing it, her eldest brother and her own man's temperament are different, not to mention the eighteen bends of the mountain road, it's almost the same, he can not follow Zhu Juan's words to fight for his own interests, there must be a demon when the teacher is abnormal.
Meng Yufan listened to the words of several adults around him, and he couldn't wait to choose by himself.
I must choose the south side!
Later, the economy was greatly developed, the highway toll station was built in the south, and even the small river bank in the south was developed, and many restaurants were built around for pedestrians to eat on the expressway, and the development was much better than that in the north.
"Dad, if not, our family doesn't want an acre this time, just half an acre, I can't plant more than Xiaojuan, the extra half an acre, just give it to Hongyuan, it just so happens that Hongyuan is getting married, Xiaojuan and I have nothing to give, this half acre of land will be regarded as a wedding gift for the two of you."
"Hongling is now living with her father, and she must not let her father and mother run so far by then, so Hongling's half-acre of land must be in the west, so whether it is me or Hongyuan, the rest of us will listen to our father's mother, and there is no opinion on where to divide it."
He said it well, no matter how they were divided, they were quite old, but Cui Xiaoyan's face turned red with anger.
Meng Hongtu and Zhu Juan's land had been divided several years ago, and it was in the west, and now there were crops growing on it, how could it be possible to divide them in the south.
Moreover, their family plus the half acre of land sent by Meng Hongtu is exactly three acres, so isn't the land in the west prepared for their family!
She said that the eldest family, how could this kind of thing be late, it turned out that they were discussing countermeasures at home, no wonder they came later than them.
Sure enough, I heard the old man say, "In this case, Hongtu will suffer a little loss, and divide another half an acre next to the original land of the Ling family, and the rest of the land in the west is me and your mother." ”
"As for Hongyuan, although the land in the south is a little far, but give you an extra half an acre, it can be regarded as compensation, if you can't get busy, you can let your mother show you more children, what can't be, come to your hometown for a walk."
As soon as the old man's voice fell, the matter was decided.
Cui Xiaoyan didn't open her mouth to object, in her opinion, no matter what she and Meng Hongyuan said, things would not change much, and the best result was nothing more than the kind of division that the old man said at the beginning.
But just like Meng Hongtu said, when the time comes, the farmers will be busy, and it will be too laborious to run at both ends, and they will probably not be able to keep busy.
Although the land over there is a little far away from their current home, it is close to her mother's house, and her mother's house is on the other side of the ancestral grave, so it is convenient to need help with anything at that time.
Meng Hongyuan can see the two separations and land divisions, no matter how they do it, their family is the one who suffers.
His eldest brother can speak well, and his sister-in-law can also be shameless, in a sense, these two are also a perfect match.
But after this incident, Meng Hongyuan also gave up on his hometown.
Just like his daughter-in-law said, some things are destined, and the acquired force cannot be forced.
He won't have any more extravagant hopes in the future.
Although the land was divided, Meng Yufan's grade was still young, and Cui Xiaoyan couldn't clean it up alone.
As for Meng Hongyuan, his current salary in the factory is all the income of the entire family, how can he put down the work at hand to farm, in that case, the possibility of their whole family starving to death will be greater.
So despite the division of land, life has not changed much for their family.
Entering the hottest month of July and August, Meng Yufan finally learned to climb, although he couldn't walk, but he finally had the ability to act.
As a result, the cucumbers and tomatoes in the small courtyard bore even better, and the bunches were full of branches.
Cui Xiaoyan didn't know if she had any special farming skills, the green onions sold last time were later found by several people and wanted to buy some more.
It made her a little confused, she also ate the green onion, and she didn't think there was anything special.
The first aunt who bought green onions was very persistent, and every time she rushed to the big market, she would knock on the door and ask.
"Eldest niece, haven't you planted the green onions yet?"
Seeing that she came to ask every time, Cui Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, it's really gone, I planted some by myself in the yard at that time, so there weren't many of them, and they were sold out on the same day, you see that I have planted them in this field." ”
The man glanced at the tomatoes and cucumbers in the field, and the cucumber seedlings had grown tall along the bamboo poles, and there were several emerald green cucumbers hanging on them.
The tomato seedlings are also covered with red tomatoes, which look like they are about to ripen, and they already have an authentic bright red color.
Seeing her sweating profusely all the way, Cui Xiaoyan was also a little embarrassed, so she invited someone into the yard.
"Auntie, let you run for nothing again, why don't you rest at my house for a while." After speaking, he picked a cucumber and handed it to her.
It's true that she's a little thirsty, and on a midsummer day, if it weren't for the fact that her men were like eating green onions, she wouldn't have traveled so far to catch the big set.
I don't know why, she bought green onions that day, and she didn't take it seriously, she put them in the corner of the hall, and ate a green onion when her man drank wine in the evening.
Who knows, when I get up the next day, I don't say I'm refreshed, but I'm also energetic.
