Chapter 96: There is a gap in my heart

My grandfather's generation was very poor. My grandfather was a lone seedling, and I married my grandmother at the age of 40. According to my mother, my grandmother was a beggar for food, and she was taken in by my grandfather, so I made do with it.

In fact, the so-called home is the two low thatched houses where my uncle used to live.

Later, with an uncle, the two grass houses could barely be opened. Later, they had a father, they were 13 years apart, but the uncle loved his father very much, and the relationship between the two brothers was still quite good.

The uncle was very handsome when he was young, and the aunt did not think he was poor, although the mother's family strongly opposed the marriage, the aunt resolutely broke off the relationship with the mother's family and followed the uncle.

This situation shows that the two of them are affectionate and very affectionate. Of course, my grandfather and grandmother were overjoyed, but when I married my aunt home, accommodation became a problem.

My uncle and aunt lived in the West House, and my grandparents and father lived in the East House. For this reason, the stove was removed, and a small house was built in the yard as a kitchen.

Life is very hard, and the family is still harmonious. Later, my cousin was born, which added to the happiness of this poor family.

A few years later, my father was also of age to start a family. As soon as I met my mother, it was basically done. But I was worried about my grandfather and grandmother, and where the younger couple went to live after my father got married became a big problem.

The house had to be built.

My grandfather told the village about this, and when he got permission, he built three more on the west side of the two old houses.

It was built in adobe houses, and the adobe had to be made by yourself. My mother had not yet passed the door, my grandfather was old, and this task fell mainly to my uncles and uncles and my father. The three of them were still quite capable, and they built three rooms in half a year, and married their mother before the house was dry.

Of course, my mother was married in a new house, and my grandfather and grandmother were still crammed into two straw huts with my uncle and aunt. My uncle suggested that either they move to a new house, or my grandfather and grandmother move to a new house, but we can't be crowded like this.

My grandfather suggested that my aunt and uncle move in and let them live in a new house. But my aunt disagreed, and was willing to let my grandparents live in the new house. Parents also agree. In this way, my grandfather and grandmother moved into the new landlord's house, and my uncle and aunt stayed in the old house.

However, when I heard my mother's complaints, I decided that my uncle wanted to occupy the two houses for himself in order to live more spaciously, and if they moved in, only one room belonged to them, and the living room in the middle would be shared with my parents.

A family of 7 people ate together, perhaps because of some small conflicts with each other over daily trivialities, and they all had opinions on each other, and the uncle was the first to propose that the family should be separated.

The father considered that the two brothers had a good relationship, so when the family was separated, he asked the uncle to choose which room he wanted. The uncle probably wanted to show that he was generous, so he asked for two old houses and gave the new house to his father, but his grandfather and grandmother had to live with his parents.

There must be a place for grandparents and grandparents. Both brothers agreed to this plan, but in fact, their mother had no opinion. The son has no opinion, the daughter-in-law has no opinion, and the grandfather and grandmother have no opinion. I immediately invited the village director, wrote the paperwork, and gave a witness.

Since then, my aunt and uncle have been cooking on the fire in the old small house, while my parents and grandparents have built a new room and started a new stove.

Originally, this matter was handled relatively satisfactorily, and they all thought that they would live in peace.

Shortly after I was born, my grandfather passed away due to his old age, and I don't have any memory of him. According to my mother, when I was a child, my grandmother used to look at me.

When I was about 5 years old, my grandmother died of a heart attack, and the east house they lived in was vacant.

My aunt and uncle began to find my parents, wanting to divide the house, saying that the old man's house should be divided equally between the two sons.

The mother took out the written note that she had made when the family was separated, and argued with reason. It is clearly written in black and white that the three rooms of the new house belong to the father, and the uncle has no right to divide them.

The reason given by the uncle and aunt was that he ignored this problem at the time, and the distribution was unfair, and now he came to find the account.

Of course, my mother didn't want to. My father usually listened to my mother, and he was certainly not willing to give up half of his uncle's room.

As for the uncle, the village director who came to him, asked for justice and redistribution of the house. The village chief asked my parents to give up a step, and for the sake of fairness, they would give half of the room to my uncle. There is some truth to his reasoning. My cousin is in high school, and it's time to get married in a few years, so I have to have a place to live. As for my young age, I can think about it later, and I have to do it in a hurry.

Mother didn't let them, and these reasons are not called reasons. So the matter was put on hold for the time being. My mother told my father that my uncle had a good relationship with the village chief and would definitely look to him. The father was originally a little shaken, but was reprimanded by his mother and had no words.

My cousin was angry and was admitted to a university in the provincial capital. Not long after, my uncle and aunt also followed me to the provincial capital. According to my father, my cousin had found a job for my uncle and aunt through his classmates, and it was better to work in a provincial town than in a rural area. So my uncle and aunt left my hometown.

Perhaps because of the unpleasant quarrel over the division of the house, when they left, the uncle left a message for his father, not allowing him to live in his two grass houses without his consent.

From then on, the doors of the two huts were locked until I paid for them.

If you talk about the two brothers, there are no other contradictions, just this one thing.

"This house is built in such a magnificent manner! Better than those buildings in the provincial capital! ”

Uncle couldn't stop admiring the house. My aunt also complimented her.

"Our house is spacious, and you can live in five main rooms. There is a kitchen, a firewood room, and a garage below. In terms of the layout style of this house, as well as this quality, in our mountain village, Sanxiang and Wuli are among the best, which is not below the two-story small western-style building of the Chen family in the east, and his courtyard area is small, not as spacious as ours here. ”

My father's irrepressible pride was revealed.

I asked my uncle and aunt how they were living in the provincial capital, and how my cousin was doing now.

The uncle did not answer immediately, but after sighing, he wiped away his tears, and the aunt seemed to be very sad and wept with him.

This aroused my curiosity and concern, and after repeated questioning, they expressed their grievances in their hearts.

My uncle and aunt went to the provincial capital, and my cousin did get a job and did odd jobs in a garment factory. Because they are older, they can't become regular workers in garment factories. That's 20 years.

They provided for their cousin to graduate from college, join a job, and face getting married, and have been renting a house, and it is difficult for the cousin to find a partner. I bought a two-bedroom second-hand house, made a down payment, and paid off the loan.
