The hall of the Jiang family is quite large, divided into two rooms inside and outside, and there is a shrine platform in the inside, and every fifteenth day or New Year's festival, the ancestors of the family will be offered incense and worship.

And the outside is the place where the family daily activities, the front wall is hung in the middle of an old portrait, the old man in the painting is holding carpentry tools, this, is it the ancestor of Luban?

And on both sides of the portrait are pasted long couplets, 'The sages look up to the ages, and the circle of the teachers is a hundred generations.' ’

It's really a portrait of the carpenter patriarch, Old Man Jiang said that he is the one hundred and tenth generation descendant of Luban, maybe it's true, but this inheritance and transmission have begun to shrink.

From some of the furniture made by the sewing and clumsy carpentry skills in the hall, it can be seen that the carpentry of Old Man Jiang only has half a bucket of water.

In the front is a set of tall tables and chairs, the table is square, and there are some crooked carvings on the side.

The chair is a high-backed circle chair, barely flat, but even so, such furniture is still very precious in the farmhouse.

And the main seat usually sits with two elderly people in the family.

There is a row of chairs and stools on the left and right sides of the lower head, but the legs of many chairs are uneven, but the emphasis is on getting to know people who can sit; There are two large round tables in the middle, and some of the legs are cushioned with stones, which are used for daily eating.

There are small furniture or tools, such as chaise longues, made of wood, and woven of bamboo and wicker, but almost all of them are mutilated.

No wonder no one in the third room of the family is willing to learn carpentry from Old Man Jiang, the master is half-hanging, and it is strange that the students can learn well.

But this kind of craftsmanship is enough for the farmer, and there is no place to sit in other people's homes, and the shadow of the table is not visible.

After He entered the room, he spontaneously sat down on the right hand side of her seat, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

After Old Man Jiang came in, he sat on the left side of the front, and pulled a chair next to him for Old Man Niu to sit with.

Then Jiang Changan and the four of them in the second room consciously sat at the door on the left.

After a while, the Dafang family arrived, and the thirty-two-year-old uncle Jiang Shimu had a serious face, taking his wife Li, and even the twelve-year-old eldest son of the Changfang, Jiang Jiawen, did not go to the Jiang family's private school in the town to study today.

Dafang also has two daughters, the third and sixth in the third room, ten and seven years old respectively, named Jiang Xing and Jiang Tao, but neither of them went to school.

Sanfang was late, Jiang Shisen hung his head dejectedly, and followed behind his wife Jiang, there were several clear scratches on his face, which should have been scratched by Jiang.

The three sons of the third room also came, namely the eight-year-old Jiang Jiaxing, who studied in the Jiang family's private school, the seven-year-old Jiang Jiawang, who studied in the town like Jiang Jiabao in the second room, and the four-year-old Jiang Jiarong.

They were ranked four, five, eight, and Jiang Jiabao and Jiang Chang arranged two and seven.

Except for the fourth aunt Jiang Xiu, who married out, all the people of the Jiang family are here.

There are sixteen people, except for Jiang Chang'an, who was stupid before, everyone in the Jiang family is neat and tidy, and none of them have defects, which can be regarded as a blessed family with great prosperity, and the old man Jiang was proud of it.

Unlike other households in the village, there are many missing arms and legs, large birthmarks on the face, fools, and madmen...

But, what's the use of being good-looking, the uneven heart is also a plate of three sands, and it doesn't play any role.

And there is already a gap between each other, and if they continue to mix, they are afraid that they will die of internal friction.

Then, let's separate, live according to your own ability, and you can't blame others for what the result is.

After the people in the third room sat down, Old Man Jiang took out the list issued by the medical hall and handed it to the boss Jiang Shimu, there were a total of five pieces of paper, one for each person who had seen a doctor.

"This is the pulse case and medication opened by the medical hall, the old twenty or thirty taels and the follow-up medication has not been prescribed, the old man and I are twenty taels, and the other three are one or two, a total of fifty-one.."

"What are you doing with nothing? And why are they..."Mrs. Jiang didn't wait for Old Man Jiang to finish speaking, and then interrupted the conversation.

"Shut up! Don't you beat them up and spend money? If it weren't for the fact that you were used to Jiang Laosan's problem, would I and the second child be beaten half to death by others? Do you still dare to babble? Die without repentance! ”

I have never beaten this old woman in my life, and I can still endure her, the old man Jiang blew his beard and stared.

"Then why don't you say why I'm hitting them? It's all the slut's murderous second, I said at the beginning that I couldn't marry this kind of demonic woman, your father and son didn't listen, now it's okay, people are rushing to the door, and you deserve to be killed! ”

At the beginning, Mrs. Jiang actually didn't stop her very strongly, after all, the Yao family didn't need a dowry to marry back, and she was usually diligent, and she gave birth to a son in the first year.

It wasn't until she gave birth to Jiang Changan, a little fool, that Mrs. Jiang didn't like Yao's anywhere, but Jiang Lao Er guarded him tightly, and usually beat and scolded Yao's and the little fool only in private, but this kind of opportunity was pitiful.

Because the Yao family worked in the fields with Jiang Laoer, and Jiang Changan went to school at the age of three.

"Why is Yao's not good? People are honest, they have children for the second child, and they have been fine for many years, if it weren't for Jiang Laosan's mother who went to provoke the bully, would people be able to come to the door?

You foolish old woman, still hoping that my son and I deserve to die? It's really capable. "The old woman was not like this when she was young, but people will always change, and they will become the kind of person who doesn't listen to him and can't manage anything he wants, and finally causes a big disaster.

"It's the third person who provoked it, why didn't the third daughter-in-law go to pay off the debt, she had to pull the second room, it's not that she looks charming, who is to blame?" Mrs. Jiang is still earning a red face.

Sanfang Jiang's face turned dark, she was ugly, right? It's so ugly that you don't want to give it to others.

"You don't understand the reason and mess around, I don't want to listen to you anymore, if you say one more word, Lao Tzu will take you back to your parents' house today." Old man Jiang made a final decision.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Old Man Jiang with a snort, this old man had never said anything serious to her in his life, but now he wanted to divorce her and go back to her parents' house?

The old man frowned coldly at her for the sake of saying goodbye, and Mrs. Jiang was so sad that she finally quieted down as if she had lost her soul.

Only then did Old Man Jiang turn to the juniors and continued: "We brought twenty-six taels from home, of which ten taels were borrowed, and we owe twenty-five taels to the medical center, for a total debt of thirty-five taels.

Boss, tell me what you think. ”

Boss Jiang held five medical case lists, his eyes never left, and when he heard his father's question, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, and finally he didn't say a word.

What can he say? He doesn't have any farming skills, what can he say? Isn't it enough to raise those two people for many years?

Seeing this, Old Man Jiang became disappointed in this eldest son again, "Boss, you only saw that the money was spent, didn't you?"

But I don't care at all about my father and younger brother, who spent so much money on treatment, are they okay now? Has the disease been cured? We're dead now, and you don't even blink an eye, don't you?

Why are you so cold and selfish? It is true that the main force of the work at home is your big house, but didn't you do it in the second room? He's your own brother, you have to tell the difference?

You all blame the second room for sending a girl in Chang'an to study, but why didn't you think that the second child didn't spend money when he married his daughter-in-law?

You blame your mother for spoiling the third child, and usually the third room does less work, but half of the dowry brought by the third daughter-in-law is handed over to the public middle school.

At that time, the three of you brothers got married one after another, and the family had no money, so they all used the dowry of the third daughter-in-law to survive those difficult days, and even the enlightenment fee of the big house and family was paid by the third daughter-in-law.

There are not many three brothers, and if you work together, you can survive many difficulties, and the villagers will also look down on you, and others will not dare to bully you easily when you go out of the mountain village.

Your mother and I are desperate to give birth to so many brothers for you, just hoping that you can unite and help each other, go to the peak, and don't suffer from being bullied by your only child.

Like me, there is no one to help me with something, and I don't even get a share of the clan. "Jiang Laohan is always in tears, and he doesn't understand, why don't these children understand his good intentions?
