Chapter 6: After the Separation
The small hall of the Xu family was packed.
Fourth Aunt Xu's original intention was to call her own man back, and by the way, she called Uncle Xu and Uncle Xu Er, but not only the three brothers of the Xu family came back, but even Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu, and the male grandchildren in the family also rushed back.
The people in the other rooms are almost neat, only the three rooms that are about to be divided, and only their family of three.
Although Xu Erya and the others got the news that their family was about to break up, they didn't dare to come back from absenteeism.
They all know that with the temperament of the Xu family, even if the family is separated, their family will not get anything, and their sisters will not be able to help when they go back, so it is better to stay and earn a good job.
Work is the lifeblood of their family.
The captain looked at the Xu family who were absent from work, and his face turned dark, "You guys come back now, and today's work is gone." ”
Old man Xu hurriedly pleaded, "Captain, when the separation is over, they will go back to continue working, and they will definitely be able to complete today's tasks, this work..."
The captain also knows that it is indeed too strict to deduct all the work of this big family at once, and who in every family does not live by the work? And Old Man Xu also made a promise, so he didn't hold on to it anymore, but just emphasized, "The task can't be left behind." ”
Then he didn't delay any longer, and asked Old Man Xu bluntly, "Now that everyone is together, you can tell me the charter of the separation, hurry up, there is still work in the field." ”
"I'll tell you," Mrs. Xu grabbed the conversation, "I discussed with the old man last night, so we divided the three rooms, gave them all the things in their house, and didn't think about the rest." ”
After she said this, the captain and several other cadres all looked at her, waiting for her next words.
As a result, she shut up after she finished speaking.
"Gone?" The captain asked.
"It's gone." Mrs. Xu replied very simply.
The captain's face darkened again, "Xu Youtian, you mean the same thing?" Do you see whose family is like yours? In addition to the things in the Aoki house, what else? What about money? What about tickets? What about grain? You let Aoki's family go out to drink the northwest wind? ”
It's all about getting out of the house!
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the captain was already the village chief of the Peace Brigade, which family he did not preside over?
It's the first time he's met such a split family, is this the attitude towards his own son?
Xu Youtian also knew that such a division of the family was a loss, so when he was questioned by the captain, he lowered his head in shame, but said in his mouth: "This is agreed by the family, and the third child is a girl, he can't eat much, and he can work, as long as he is diligent, he can always get by, but we are a big family...... So captain, let's divide it like this. ”
Xu Youtian felt that the eldest and the second were right, there were many children in the family, and they were almost at the age of marrying wives and having children, and they needed money everywhere.
The three families are different, they are all girls, they don't need to spend money to marry a daughter-in-law, and they can get a bride price, so they don't need to share the money.
“…… And the house they live in now is allocated to them? The captain took a breath and asked tentatively.
"That's not good, Guangming is about to marry a daughter-in-law, and their house will be reserved for Guangming's daughter-in-law." Mrs. Xu retorted.
Guangming is Uncle Xu's second son, who is twenty years old and is now looking at others.
It's just that there is no room at home for him to get married, and Mrs. Xu is worried, so Xu Qingmu made such a fuss.
It's just right, kick out the whole family, won't the house where their family lives now be vacated?
After listening to the captain's words, Mrs. Xu objected without thinking about it, "That house can't be divided among them, aren't they clamoring to split the family?" Then go out and find a house to live in! ”
The cadres of the brigade felt that they were also eye-opening, and it was the first time they had seen their own son treated like this.
The captain looked at Xu Aoki, who had been silent, and asked him, "Aoki, what do you say?" ”
Xu Qingmu's eyes circled around the room, and what caught his eyes was the angry glare of his father and mother, as well as the disregard of his brothers and nephews.
None of them even said a word for themselves!
Xu Qingmu felt that he had lived in vain in the first half of his life, and his efforts could not be exchanged for even a little bit of their sincerity!
Xu Qingmu only felt that his heart was like ashes.
As soon as his eyes turned and saw his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law beside him, Xu Qingmu was suddenly relieved.
He is not without nothing, at least he has a virtuous daughter-in-law and seven lovely and filial daughters.
Regardless of whether yesterday's dream was a real occurrence in his previous life or God's reminder to him, it was time for him to wake up.
Father, mother, brothers, or even nephews or anything are not worth his grief for them, what he has to do now is to love his daughter-in-law and daughters well.
They have suffered too much with him!
He's sorry for them!
The depression in Xu Qingmu's eyes turned firm, "I agree to leave the house, but it's ......"
With his words, the eyes of the Xu family were first surprised, and then turned to disapproval.
Xu Qingmu saw the change in their expressions in his eyes, and he only felt ridiculous.
He continued: "But I also have one request, that is, I don't care about my father's pension in the future. ”
Uncle Xu: "How can this work!" ”
Mrs. Xu: "No! I disagree! ”
Xu Erbo: "Third child, how can you do such an unfilial thing?" ”
Fourth Uncle Xu: "Third brother, it's not authentic if you do this, my father and mother are our parents, and everyone naturally has a share in the elderly, how can you just leave it alone?" You're afraid of being laughed at! ”
Xu Qingmu just said that he would not be responsible for the elderly in the future, which attracted accusations from everyone in the Xu family.
This is in stark contrast to everyone's silence when Xu Qingmu was allowed to leave the house before, and several cadres of the brigade shook their heads one after another.
The branch secretary, who had been silent, spoke at this time, "I don't think Aoki's request is too much, since he is allowed to leave the house, then he naturally does not have to be responsible for providing for the elderly." ”
His sharp gaze swept over the people of the Xu family one by one, "Don't feel that you are at a loss, you want to take advantage and don't want to suffer a little loss, there is no such thing in this world, since Aoki has no opinion, I think the matter of splitting the family will be here." ”
He asked the captain, "Uncle Wenhua, what do you think?" ”
The captain nodded, "Let's do it, you write down the paperwork, everyone signs it, Aoki, you see that one day you and the branch secretary will go to the commune to stamp a seal, and the matter of separating the family will be forgotten, as for the place to live, our brigade still has an empty house, so I will lend it to you first, and then make up the rent when you have eased up." ”
Although the party secretary rarely cares about the small matters in the village, he has a majesty because he often has to deal with the leaders of the commune.
Swept by his sharp gaze, everyone in the Xu family didn't dare to force Lai Lai anymore, and looked at Mrs. Xu one by one with their necks shrunk, waiting for her reaction.
Mrs. Xu was also stunned, so she had to agree, "Yes, but they have to move out today." ”
