Chapter 028: It's time to build a house
"What? Two acres for three acres? Liu Fu, why don't you grab it? ”
It was Liu Cheng in the second room of the Liu family who spoke, and he was also raised by the old couple of the Liu family on the tip of his heart, and he was born prematurely, and he was extremely eccentric all his life.
"But no, eldest brother, my father and mother are kind and partial to you, afraid that you will not be able to support your children and the whole family will starve to death with your broken body, so I am willing to exchange one acre of good land for two acres of barren land, why do you still kick your nose in the face?"
Liu Li, who is in the third room of the Liu family, also echoed, as the youngest child in the family, he is naturally valued by his parents.
As soon as the two of them sang and harmonized, they didn't need the two of the Liu family to make more noises, and they had already overwhelmed Liu Fu and Lin.
"Second uncle, third uncle, but you can't afford to be so kind, since you said that grandparents are afraid that our family will starve to death, then don't change it." Although Liu Danian is still a half-grown child, I don't know if Zhou Er gave him some inspiration, or seeing his father and mother being bullied like this, but he still can't stand up to resist, he also has a burst of anger in his heart, and it is rare that he did not pretend to be deaf and dumb with him.
"You rabbit cub, adults talk about things, where do you have a place to speak."
As soon as Liu Cheng stomped his feet, he was about to teach Liu Danian a lesson.
If it were on weekdays, Liu Danian would definitely retreat, but today, he also knew that the family was forced into a desperate situation, and if they continued to make a nest, then their family would really be bullied to death.
And rarely, his father, who has always been honest and obedient to his grandparents, did not pull him, he relied on the fire in his heart that had not yet been extinguished, knelt down with a puff, and knocked a few heads at Li Zheng, the village chief, and the elders around the Liu family, and then wiped his face that was already full of tears, and pleaded bitterly in a tone that was almost desperate and helpless.
"How have my father and mother worked hard to support a large family over the years, my father's body has collapsed, my grandparents have been overwhelmed by a filial piety, and we were out of breath when I saw my father's body collapse, so I drove us out without saying a word, and only gave the village two acres of barren land.
Parents who suffer from the body, but we can't be forced to die, today our big house is willing to do the last filial piety, promise them to exchange three acres of dead fields for these two acres there is hope, if they agree, then we will sign and draw a pledge, if they have to force us to die, then our family will be brushed to death on this stone, I want to see, forced to die our big house out of the way, how long can they live. ”
Saying that, Liu Danian looked like he was going to die at any time.
There was an uproar among the people around.
The village chief and Li Zheng were originally reluctant to interfere, but the two members of the Liu family were not angry, and every time they persuaded them, they finally relented, and they were pinched to death by the old couple of the Liu family, and in the end it seemed that they were nosy.
It's rare that the big house still has some backbone and knowledge, they look at each other, and they are willing to help again.
So the two of them put pressure on the old couple of the Liu family together.
"Liu Tugen, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, if you really force Dafang to death, you see that your father and mother can spare you."
"Village chief, this is a bit too much, it is clear that they are not filial......"
"Liu Fu filial piety is not filial, the whole village is in the eyes, you are really filial piety as a grass, but those who like to play with their mouths as treasures, this is your willingness, I just hope that you will not regret it one day, but today we all see it really, these two acres of land are back to green, and there is a chance to beat some food, but you have to say that the good is bad, and the bad is good, you are a fool when Liu Fu is a fool, and the whole village is a fool."
"I'm also putting my words here, if you really push your children and grandchildren into a desperate situation, your family's marriage will become a problem in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you." Li Zheng also echoed with the village chief.
Liu Tugen was stunned for a moment, and wanted to persuade Liu Fu, who had always been obedient, but he was blocked by Liu Danian, the little wolf cub grew up, and he dared to coerce him, and dared to use the village chief and Li Zheng to pressure him, Liu Tugen hated it to death, but looking at the two acres of crops in front of him, and thinking that his family was about to die, it was uncertain whether he could survive this winter, and where could he manage the future.
In the end, he gritted his teeth ruthlessly: "Okay, three acres for two acres, but it's okay, this is a family, and it is also my son, and the filial piety that should be given cannot be less." ”
"That's nature." Liu Fu didn't expect his father to really agree, he rubbed his hands happily and blushed for a while, looked at Liu Danian who was blocking him, and thought about bypassing and compensating his father.
was blocked by his second son Liu Dashu again.
"If grandpa still wants to debate this, then let's talk about what grandpa divided into our big house when we split up in front of the whole village......" Xu is grandpa's compromise this time, so that Liu Dashu sees hope, and he also wants to learn to support his family like his eldest brother, so that the people in the village and grandparents can see that their big house is not cowardly, and they will not be bullied all the time and will not resist.
"What do you mean?!" Liu Cheng's sharp throat pierced his eardrums, and he seemed to jump up at any time to hit his two nephews, but he was dragged hard by Wang, so he didn't rush out.
"Okay, forget it this year, wait until next year, when the year is good, I will give it again, fifty catties of polished rice, two hundred catties of brown rice, no less, it is not easy to raise you." Liu Tugen didn't expect the two cubs in the big house to be so abnormal today, squinting slightly, and he was a little uncertain for a while.
"Thank you, Dad, I'm also forced to do it, don't be angry." Liu Fu still felt that his father still cared about his eldest son at this time.
Seeing this, Lin exhaled helplessly, looking at the two sons who were protecting him, his eyes turned slightly red.
When the child is older, in the future, she will no longer have to suffer with a man who can't carry it clearly.
Seeing that the matter of the Liu family was successfully resolved, Jiang Ran was also not interested, and only hoped that this time she would cast a spell to awaken the Liu family's big house, and it would not be in vain for her to help once.
was about to let the second cub take him to his own field, but he was stopped by Liu Danian, the cub of the Liu family.
He came to Zhou Er, he was the same age as Zhou Er, and he had spoken in the village before, but he was not familiar with it, and what Zhou Er said to him this time made him very grateful and puzzled.
When he arrived, he first saluted Zhou Chengan and Jiang Ran and shouted "uncle" and "aunt", and then pulled Zhou Er to the side to speak.
"You're asking me if those words are true?"
Zhou Er is extremely smart, of course he knows Liu Danian's purpose for looking for himself, he followed his stepmother's prompt, and just went to tell Liu Danian that the crops on the two acres of land suddenly turned green and weird, which may not be a good thing.
He knew that this was what the stepmother said on purpose, but he couldn't tell anyone else, especially Liu Danian.
"Well, we also know that it's weird, not in other people's fields, but in our fields, not to mention that there were so many dead people buried here yesterday, but our family is really cornered, I think this must be God's order for our family to survive, so that we can see some hope." Liu Danian had tears in his eyes, he couldn't tell what was going on just now, but suddenly there was a momentum, wanting him to say everything he had been holding in his heart but didn't dare to say.
At this time, he still wondered what to do.
I just feel that I have suddenly become brave and grown up, but I am still very encouraged, and it turns out that my grandmother and second uncle and third uncle are not anything to be afraid of.
And it's cool.
Yes, the first time I saw my grandparents, second uncles and third uncles eating deflated, it was really cool, although my father would still say something that shouldn't be like this, but he felt that this time he did it right.
If Dad could be like Uncle Zhou Chengan, he could see it clearly earlier......
Alas.
"Don't worry, these two pieces of land will die sooner or later, maybe tomorrow, by the way, is the three acres of land that your family just changed next to our four acres of land?"
"Well, in the future, the land of our two families will be next to each other, but I don't know when it will rain on this day, and I don't know if we can survive until that time." Thinking that the food at home can still last for more than ten days, or in the case of one meal a day, only a small handful of brown rice per meal, these days, there is no bark and grass roots in the mountains, and I don't know if I can hold on until it rains.
When it rains, even if the crops still die, at least there is still tender grass, alas.
"Don't worry, maybe there will be rain tonight, by the way, my family will build a house in a few days, and then you and your brother and your father, if your family is free, you can go, we will take care of the food."
Zhou Yi thought that after the day, his mother asked for a lot of bricks and tiles surnamed Wu, and he should have to build the house.
When the time comes, you will definitely have to hire someone.
It is better to hire the Liu family, he remembers that Uncle Liu knows how to work as a mason.
And Uncle Liu is honest and will not cheat.
"Really?" Liu Danian's eyes were happy, but then they dimmed again, looking at Zhou Er, who was almost in tatters like himself, thinking that the situation of the Zhou family was probably not as good as his own family, how could he have the money to build a house?
"My father's leg is going to be healed, we secretly hid some money before, and now my stepmother has been struck by lightning, and we won't hide it from her." Zhou Er had no choice but to make up perfunctory words, alas, it was really a lie, and he had to use countless to round it.
It seems that we have to think of some ways to make money in the future, otherwise how to convince the people in the village that their family's money is really the right way.
