Chapter 13: Reconciliation
The whole village is now the busiest for the old man Xiang's family, who has to go down to the ground every day, and Jixiang and Fugui have to go up the mountain to cut down trees every day.
They calculated that this time they would actually make twenty-five board cars, which was undoubtedly a huge number, so Fugui would go to the mountains to cut down trees as long as he had time.
Jixiang is even more every day with a shaft, get up earlier than the chicken, sleep later than the dog, even drink a sip of water feels troublesome, every day around the wood sawing and planing, busy and happy.
It's just that Jixiang suddenly found that there are 32 families in a village, excluding the mayor, the village chief, the dog and his own family, and there are still three families who don't want a car.
And those three families are their own two uncles and an aunt's family, after the separation of the family, their father and his two younger brothers and a sister hardly spoke, leaving only face.
The younger brother Xianghanhe's family has a small population, and the husband and wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the daughter also married to other counties, and it takes a long time to come back, and the son has just married and has no children.
The eldest brother Xiang Hantu, the old couple gave birth to two sons and a daughter, the two sons got married, the eldest son added a grandson to him, the younger son added a granddaughter, and the little girl was to be married.
As for the sister-in-law Xiang Hanqin, she married the butcher of the village, and the butcher's family conditions are acceptable, but the two just don't have children, I don't know if it's because the pig was slaughtered too much, which hurt Yin De, or the young couple has physical problems.
As for why there is only face, it is because Mr. Xiang, as the eldest son, spent a lot of money in the family to study in a private school and took the children's examination, and divided the family with an extra three acres of paddy fields, and the two younger brothers were unhappy.
As the only girl in the Xiang family, Xiang Hanqin is also because the eldest brother spent most of the family's money, which caused her dowry to be very shabby, and now she can't give birth to children, so she is disgusted by her husband's family and separated.
"Dad, don't make three more cars and send them to uncle, uncle and sister-in-law."
At dinner in the evening, Jixiang told him about the matter, and then suggested.
Old Man Xiang nodded, he took an extra three acres of paddy fields from his family back then, and spent all the money in the family, and he did owe two younger brothers and a younger sister.
Fortunately, my father and mother were raised by themselves, and they didn't ask for a copper plate for their younger brothers and sisters, which can be regarded as compensating for their younger brothers and sisters, and if they have silver in the future, they will also give them some.
It took two months for Jixiang to make twenty-eight carts, and then sent them out one by one, and got 2,500 copper plates, that is, two and a half taels of silver.
Grandma Xiang felt sorry for her youngest son, and she didn't want a copper plate, so she let him save it himself, and when he saved enough, he would marry a daughter-in-law and come back, but Jixiang shook his head and refused, and asked his mother to make a few more clothes for Fubao.
Then when they took Fugui and delivered the last three carts to the two uncles and sisters-in-law, they were shocked when they saw the carts, and by the time they thought of giving the silver, the people had already left.
In fact, when his eldest brother supported his father and mother, and he didn't want them to give him pension money, their resentment towards his eldest brother was gone, but it was too ugly to eat at the beginning, and now he can't let go of his relationship.
What if you spend money to study in a private school, the eldest brother also wants to be admitted to Xiucai, but Xiucai is so easy to take the test, otherwise why don't they want to study.
What if there are three more acres of paddy fields when the family is separated, my father and mother also have to eat and drink, the yield of these three acres of paddy fields is not enough for the old couple to chew for a year, and of course the eldest brother gives it if it is not enough.
There is also a father and mother who are sick, not to spend money to see a doctor, but when they are old, they can't do it, and they don't want their sister-in-law to serve in front of the bed every day, and it is another sum of silver to be buried when they die.
So at the beginning, the villagers told Jixiang that they wanted a car, and they were also tempted, but they were reluctant to say it, but they didn't expect the eldest brother to let Jixiang send it to him, and the last pimple in his heart disappeared.
That night, there were a few more people in the Xiang family, Xiang Hanhe was carrying a bag of freshly ground white noodles in his hand, Xiang Hantu was holding a piece of muslin cloth in his hand, and Xiang Hanqin was carrying a piece of pork in his hand.
The three of them were ashamed when they saw Xiang Hanlin, and they couldn't say anything, they just lowered their heads and waited for the eldest brother to speak, especially Xiang Hanqin, she still spoke ill of the eldest brother back then, and now she regrets it very much.
"Oh, what day is today, my younger brothers and sisters have finally come to see me, daughter-in-law, hurry up and make some dumplings with white noodles and pork and entertain my younger brothers and sisters."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere suddenly merged, and Xiang Hanqin hurriedly carried the meat and followed Grandma Xiang to the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, what about Fubao, everyone says that Fubao looks like glutinous rice dumplings, I really want to see it."
Grandma Xiang heard that her sister-in-law wanted to see Fubao, and she was happy to let the rich family take Fubao out, Fubao had been practicing hard in the past two days, and she was so tired that she fell asleep.
So I didn't know that I was hugged by my mother, and handed it to Xiang Hanqin, Xiang Hanqin took Fu Bao and held it in her hand, only to feel that there was a smell of camphor on the little girl's body.
The smell was very good, Xiang Hanqin couldn't help but smell it a few more times, only to feel that his body and mind were suddenly smooth, and the whole person felt a lot more comfortable.
"Sister-in-law, it's really good that this child's name has been obtained, Fubao, it's really Fubao."
Grandma Xiang chuckled in her heart, and glanced at her second daughter-in-law vigilantly, and sure enough, the rich sister-in-law hurriedly took Fu Bao over, and said with a smile: "Fu Bao is asleep, I will take her back to sleep." ”
Xiang Hanqin reluctantly returned the blessing to the rich sister-in-law, thinking about how good it would be for her to have such a group, but unfortunately she was in her thirties, and the child's shadow didn't know where it was.
This meal was very late, Xiang Hanlin was really happy, and took out his daughter Hongdu, which he had treasured for many years, and even Xiang Hanqin drank two cups to help the fun, and several people were almost drunk.
In the end, Fugui and Jixiang supported the two uncles, and the sister-in-law and the wealthy sister-in-law supported Xiang Hanqin and sent them home.
In mid-September, when it was time to harvest rice and sorghum, the villagers were busy, busy harvesting the grain in their fields and drying the grain.
Although it cost a hundred yuan, the board car is made of sturdy and durable, and the cost performance is extremely high, almost everyone said words of praise to Jixiang, and Jixiang also humbly let them come to him if they have problems.
Grandma Xiang was happy when she saw it, the reputation of her youngest son came out, are you afraid that there will be no business in the future, when people are happy, they will be more energetic when they start working.
As time passed, the people in the village suddenly felt that the relationship between the three Xiang Hanlin brothers had improved a lot, and even the butcher man with Xiang Hanqin and her was much more enthusiastic about Old Man Xiang.
The village chief and the chief of the village see it in their eyes and enjoy it in their hearts, this is Xiangzhang Village, most of the villagers are surnamed Xiang, they are all from the same clan, and it is a good thing to have a good relationship with each other.
