Chongxi little husband

"Do you think Renpo is more suitable or Houshan is better?" Dialect said while passing a water bottle made of bamboo joints.

In the past few days, they are just to inspect the land around the village and see where it is suitable to plant mulberry trees, so they almost go out early in the morning. Today is the last place to go. If they are not satisfied, they will go to a place farther away and The hillside where other villages intersect.

"Hmm--" Zhang Jishun took the bamboo tube, unscrewed the cloth cover and took a sip. It was still dialect mixed with the bud tip, so the water in the bamboo tube was still sweet, not at all like the past after being bored for a long time in memory smell.

I was home soon, so Zhang Ji took a deep breath, and then replied: "If you look at it nearby, it is convenient to the back mountain, but it is a bit high, and it is still connected to the mountain, so I am afraid that some wild animals will come out." .

Renpo is not bad, but it is farther away, and it is close to the fields of the village..." After a pause, Zhang Ji frowned slightly, showing some concern.

Fang Yan looked at him and understood his thoughts, "Are you worried that the mulberry tree will attract those wild silkworms and make everyone jealous?"

Zhang Ji looked back at him, nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his face, obviously happy for him to understand himself, "Yes, what everyone is most afraid of is that after half a year of hard work, we will attract insects and ants. The mulberry tree will attract those silkworms at that time--Didn’t Brother Hua say that there are a lot of growths on that tree, other people may not know what it is, and they may cut it down or burn it without protesting, and the loss will not be a whole It's half o'clock."

"Well, you have considered it carefully, so you decided to go to the back mountain?" Dialect raised his eyes to look at the mountain above the village that stretches up to connect with other peaks and then converges into the depths of the forest, suddenly feeling a little unreal.

Because if there is no accident, they will be able to own a hill above this in a short time. Although it is only a small hill that they can see now, if you calculate the area carefully, it will be nearly a hundred acres, right?

Thinking about it is really exciting, like a dream.

"...What are you smirking at?"

Just as he was thinking about the future, his hand was gently pulled, and at the same time, Zhang Jina's familiar rough voice sounded in his ears. Dialect quickly came back to his senses, looked away and met those smiling black eyes, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but smile slightly. One hot.

The tip of his eyes noticed the change in his ears, and Zhang Jihao suddenly thought of teasing him again, so he reached out and touched the tip of his ears on purpose, with a surprised expression on his face: "Yan'er, your ears are so red and hot, aren't you?" Suffering from heat stroke? But it’s nice to look at it like it’s transparent.”

He touched and squeezed it as if it was still novel, which made Dialect feel so strange and uncomfortable.

Fang Yan hurriedly turned his head to avoid his evil hand, "Go back after you have rested, it's time for Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao to find them." He said and walked back first.

Zhang Ji smiled and looked at the little figure walking in front with faint anger, and his mood became more joyful, but this joy disappeared when he accidentally raised his head and looked forward.

This is?

Zhang Ji squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the two people walking towards here from a distance, chatting about something happy.

Is that so?

"Not leaving yet?"

Suddenly there was a call in dialect from the front, so Zhang Ji naturally withdrew his gaze, raised the corners of his lips, and took a few strides to catch up with the dialect who stopped and waited in front of him when he realized that he had not followed, and walked home with him. He rubbed the other person's hair with his hands in a wicked way, and said with a smile, "Aren't you angry?", but the child gave him a displeased stare, but he couldn't help laughing out loud.

***

Early this morning, when everyone woke up, they finally felt the chill.

For this reason, Zhang Luoshi made buns again, and everyone was very satisfied. As a result, when everyone was about to leave to do their own work as usual after they were almost full, old man Zhang suddenly called out and stopped everyone.

"Zhang Qi, go to the village chief's house and invite your grandpa Zhang. I have something to talk to him about."

Zhang Qi, who was called by name suddenly, couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and it was his mother who secretly gave him a hand to regain his senses, and quickly agreed to get up and leave with a bewildered head.

The old man Zhang didn't take care of his grandson anymore, and turned to other people: "Don't go out today, I have something to say later, old woman, go cook some side dishes and I will have a drink with Brother Zhang later." .”

"Yeah." Zhang Luoshi didn't say anything, but just responded and got up and left the table. He wiped the pot as if he had been prepared, and then directly added firewood to stir-fry vegetables.

Half of the Zhang family were a little confused.Zhang Ruixiang and his wife stared blankly at their parents and then at each other, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.

There was also Zhang Liushi who was also anxious, but she reacted relatively quickly, and soon wondered whether the old man had started to decide what Zhang Ji said before.

But I'm a little uncertain. After all, it's been a few days since that day. The old man didn't mention it much before, and after leaving Zhang Jifangyan and the two of them to talk that day, she didn't see any other movement. She thought the matter had been resolved. up.

But now, why did you suddenly invite old village chief Zhang over?

Seeing her father-in-law's calm and incomprehensible face, then seeing her uncle Zhang Xiulian who was also perplexed and uneasy, and seeing Zhang Jihe's dialect with a calm face as if she was not in a hurry to see anything wrong, Zhang Liu's heart couldn't help but start to slow down. I sank and became flustered, and wanted to ask someone to talk to me, but my son was called to call someone again, so I had to sit there and wait anxiously.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for them to wait. Zhang Qi led Uncle Zhang and the village chief and his son in together.

The two families exchanged a few pleasantries, and the old village chief Zhang spoke first, "Second Brother Zhang, why are you looking for me today?"

It is said that everyone else is a genius.

Old man Zhang agreed with a "huh", but he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he picked up the small altar and poured him the wine at the bottom of the small bowl. The village chief suddenly said in a deep voice: "That's right, I troubled Big Brother to come here today because there is indeed something important to announce, and I want Big Brother to give you a slap in the face as a proof."

When the words fell, the old village chief put away his smiling expression and became serious as well. He picked up the bowl and touched him, "It's rare that you think highly of me, Cheng! You just say it."

"Thank you, big brother." After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl.

The old man Zhang put down the bowl and looked around his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, and said in a deep voice for a long while: "Father has decided——our family will be separated."

Every word was sonorous and forceful, but it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky directly hitting the heads of everyone, not to mention the Zhang family, even the old village chief and his son opened their eyes slightly in surprise. They really didn't expect the old man Zhang to say such a thing .

The village chief said involuntarily: "Second Brother Zhang——"

"father???!!"

"Grandpa? What did you say?!"

Zhang Ruixiang and his wife, Zhang Liu's mother and son exclaimed almost in unison, directly covering the voice of the village chief.

The old village chief was the first to come back to his senses. His eyes, which had been seldom opened before, were full of wisdom at this time. He looked straight at the old man Zhang and said tremblingly, "Have you thought about it? Your family Isn't there a lot of people now?" His eyes glanced at Zhang Qi's mother and son, and he hinted.

Unexpectedly, old man Zhang still nodded firmly: "Well, I've thought about it. It's today."

Zhang Liushi, who finally came back to his senses and came to his senses, was shocked and angry: "Dad! Why did you say this so suddenly? Our family lives in a good place, what kind of family is it?"

Zhang Ruixiang was also very shocked, but he was simply shocked by how his father would suddenly bring up the matter of separating the family, so he echoed Zhang Liu's words without thinking, "Yes, Dad. We don't live well here. Why? Why-"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the old man Zhang, "Father knows that you will find it difficult to accept this, but this is a decision I have considered for a long time.

Don't worry, neither your mother nor I will favor anyone, what should be yours is yours, your mother and I have already agreed—"

"Father!" Zhang Ruixiang directly interrupted his father's unfinished words with a loud roar. His face was full of shock and anger: "Father, am I that kind of person? Do I mean that now?"

"Daddy Xiaobao, keep your voice down---"

The old man Zhang looked straight at his youngest son calmly, and then looked at his eldest daughter-in-law and grandson with the same expression. He sighed from the bottom of his heart, and his voice suddenly became vicissitudes: "Father and your mother are both very old, and they can't live for a few more years." Now, I was thinking that if we can move now, we should divide this family well... Father just wants you to live a good life."

Zhang Liushi endured it but still couldn't hold it back, and suddenly glared at Zhang Ji, who was sitting together silently all the time, and suddenly said sharply: "Isn't dad just because of your precious grandson? But Parents, don't even think about it, it's really for their own good to let the two of them mess around like this?"

The village head and his son also looked at Zhang Jifangyan in surprise, and after thinking about the behavior of the two in the village before, they couldn't help but feel that the old man Zhang's decision was a little too hasty.

The old man Zhang looked at his eldest daughter-in-law, and was not angry because of being directly refuted. He suddenly nodded and admitted: "That's right. It is indeed related to the matter mentioned by the stepson and the others, but I have already had this matter of separation." After finishing speaking Stopping what his son and daughter-in-law wanted to say again, he looked at the old village head and said solemnly: "Big brother, let us handle this matter today."

"Are you sure?"

"Ah."

"Okay then, I'll go to the town to change your household registration for you some other day."

"Thank you."

The old village chief looked at him, opened his mouth and said nothing in the end, motioning for his son to help him back.

"If you need anything else, come to me again." It's just that this sentence was said before leaving.

"Wait—Grandpa Zhang—" Zhang Qi called out several times, but unfortunately the two still left.

Seeing that Zhang Liu didn't keep the man, she didn't dare to direct her anger at her father-in-law, so she turned directly to Zhang Ji's dialect and scolded, "Is that you?" Then pointing to the dialect, "It's you! You instigated it, right? You will If you agreed to come to our house, you just fell in love with our money, right! If it weren't for you, how could our step-son come up with such messy things! It must be you, father! Mother! You have to persuade father and step-son Son, don't be fooled by his rhetoric!"

The old man Zhang stopped Zhang Ji, looked at Zhang Qi, and said in a deep voice: "I agree with this, and the money they need to spend to buy the land is not spent on this family."

Hearing this, Zhang Liu's complexion changed, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the old man Zhang said again, as if announcing the result without any discussion: "Didn't shopkeeper Yang of the shop give away the profits of the first half of the year last month? And there is still some left over from previous years, right? Now, go back and ask him to do the math for you, and bring it to the stepson and the others.

As for our family's land, it will be divided into three parts, but the step-child and the second child, you have to allocate an acre of paddy and dry fields to the eldest brother, and we want to belong to the elders. "

"Father/Grandpa!" Zhang Liushi and Zhang Qi opened their eyes wide.

"Ah?" Zhang Ruixiang was confused.

"Good!" Zhang Jidan smiled.
