Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

The Xu family's house is quite big and has a large population, but now it seems a little quiet.It seemed that the place Xu Jiaqin took them to was not the hall, but Uncle Xu's house.

Li Jinyuan felt that something was wrong, but he just checked the original contract. Uncle Xu was always very casual, and he finished reading it in the time of drinking a cup of tea in the living room. How could he be so mysterious?

"Come here?" Xu San's room is not small, and there are tea tables and a few chairs outside.He was leaning back in his chair and taking a deep drag on his cigarette when they came in.Without waiting for their response, he rushed to Xu Jiaqin who was following behind and said, "Call the boss of the Ye family here too."

"It's already been called out." Xu Jiaqin responded, walked to him and stood still.Having been together for decades, he knows his father very well, I'm afraid he will get angry again if he speaks excitedly.

"What does third uncle mean? Xiao An just forgot something, you just need to tell him. You don't need my man to come over, right? He's still in the field!" Seeing this posture, Li Jinyuan felt a little uneasy, and also It's not like the original thought of making things big, as long as the two acres of land can be safely included in the pocket.

Xu San ignored him, exhaled a circle of smoke slowly, put down the cigarette stick, glanced at him, and asked: "You and Boss Ye have been married for more than ten years, right? He Feng is already in his teens. I remember you and Mrs. Brother Ting is from Nanzhuang?"

Nanzhuang is also a small village belonging to Tangqiao Town. There are only two surnames in it, either Zeng or Li.The families there have ancestral precepts that they are not allowed to marry with the same surname or Li surname, so it has been a pattern of marrying outsiders for many years.

"Yes, but Brother Ting is ten years younger than me. I went out when he was just sensible, and I don't know him very well." Going out means getting married and leaving home. When Li Jinyuan heard him mention Li Qiuting, his heart pounded. Reluctantly said now.

Xu San snorted and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.Several people turned their heads and saw that it was Ye Genbao and Ye Gencai who had come.They were called back when they were still in the field, their trouser legs were still rolled up, and their feet were covered with mud.

"It's just in time. Since your father entrusted me to do it back then, I'll tell you again today." Xu San swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and it was just in time for everyone to come, so that he would not have to explain both sides.

"Third Uncle, what's not clear after all this time? We all behaved well and didn't even take a pair of chopsticks." Ye Gen just wiped his sweat, and the people who came to call them walked quickly, He didn't say anything, but he was bluffed.It wasn't until now when I saw the eldest brother-in-law and the younger brother that I remembered what my brother whispered to him last night.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, but you have so many brothers, I will ask them to find one to testify, so that someone can say it later." Xu San has been the village head for so many years, and he has to deal with the town's tolerance from time to time , also quite knowledgeable.This matter has been clarified once, and there are witnesses, so there is no need to trouble him again in the future.In the final analysis, don't you think that no one knows what you said at the time because you acted like this?Even he, the village head, can't speak for others without evidence, especially after so many years have passed.

"Third Uncle means that this has something to do with me? I don't know what is causing trouble for you, Uncle Third?" Ye Genbao frowned and said in a rough voice.

"Your father invited me when the family was divided. It was originally agreed that the [-] mu of land would be divided equally between the four of you brothers. Do you all remember?" Seeing that he was impatient, Xu San didn't say much.His hand touched the cigarette rod on the tea table again, but the tobacco rolled on it had already gone out, so he had to put it down again.

"Remember, but Xiao An has no land, and Ah Ping can't speak alone, and even shopping is inconvenient. So later, my father decided to let them follow me, and give my family two acres from the land that Ah Ping shared. A few days ago, Xiao An was going out. Yes, he messed up himself, and he doesn't want to live with us again. But anyway, I have fulfilled my father's order." Ye Genbao finished speaking aggressively, looking down at Ye Xiaoan by virtue of his height.He secretly thought that if the village chief begged him for a while, maybe he could bring the dumb brother back?It is really uncomfortable to work in the paddy fields. In the past, the mute could do it all by himself, but now all the work falls on him.

"Yes, two acres of land will be given to your family as rations for the two of them. But it was also agreed later that when they leave your house, the land will have to be returned to Youping—it will be too late if you don't mess with the land now Now, should you return it too?" Xu San tapped on the cigarette stick, still expressionless.

Ye Gen was stunned when he heard it, as if he didn't know what happened.But good or bad has nothing to do with my own family, so I refrained from making a sound.

On the other hand, Ye Genbao looked surprised, and said: "Did the third uncle remember wrongly? My father said that the two mu of land would be shared with our family, but he never said that it would be returned! You know, raising the two of them Four years is not easy!"

"Father did say that, big brother forgot about it!" Ye Xiao'an had been keeping quiet because of Uncle Xu's presence, and only then came forward to say it.

Ye Genbao stared at him fiercely, and said to Xu San: "Uncle San, he is just a child, how do you remember what happened a few years ago?"

"Brother Ang came to me last night to check the contract at that time, and I asked him to come back today. Who would have thought that the booklets that were well placed at home would suddenly disappear? Da Ye, at that time, Brother Ang was ten years old. , Youping is almost twenty. They have helped your family a lot in recent years, right? You are brothers..."

"If he thinks that I'm the eldest brother, how can he tarnish my reputation for two acres of land!" Ye Genbao heard him say that the booklet was missing, and wanted to persuade him with brotherhood, his tone became more sad.

Isn't he a real brother?How can a younger brother want his brother's land?

"It's fine for him to be a farmer, but my family Hefeng will have to take scientific examinations in the future! I have worked so hard to raise him for so many years, from a child to the age of marriage..." After hearing what he said, Li Jinyuan cried even more Shouted loudly.

Ye Xiaoan didn't expect the brochure to disappear, thinking hard about how to gain the initiative next.Ye Gen took a step back, unmoved by such a quarrel.

"You all signed and staked that contract at the beginning." Xu San waited for them to cry and make a fuss before opening his mouth again.He winked, and Xu Jiaqin went into the room and took out a thin piece of paper.When they heard him speak, they all turned their eyes back to him, and their faces were also different at this time.

"Yesterday, I found out that what was lost was only the copy I copied. The deed that you signed when you separated is still here. Gencai, do you know how to read?" Xu San unfolded the yellowed paper and asked Ye Gencai.

Ye Gen just shook his head.

"Then Jiaqin can read the content on the paper instead of him!" Xu San got his answer, nodded and handed the paper back to his son behind him.

Li Jinyuan's face changed drastically, and he said, "Backup? Then how do I know if this is real?"

Xu San looked at him when he heard the words, and his eyes that had experienced the baptism of years and years swept across him, and after a long time he said lightly: "If you don't believe it, you can check the fingerprints that were printed at the beginning. But I can't verify this, you go Please come back from the town, and I will cooperate."

Seeing that none of them objected, Xu Jiaqin cleared his throat and began to read.From the names of their brothers who have no one at the beginning, what objects, houses, and fields each of them got when they separated, and the sentence at the end: "After Xiaoan gets married, the three lands in the east of Huangnikeng, totaling four acres, should be returned to Youping's name." Everything is clear.

Ye Xiaoan breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first thing he decided to do after he came here. Although he was reasonable, the phenomenon of "human relationship society" here is obviously more serious than the era he was used to.Now that the physical evidence is strong and Xu San has dealt with it fairly, he is already satisfied.

Who will belong to the two mu of land in the end, anyway, it will not fall on Ye Gencai's head.Although he was a little surprised by the result, he seemed to be a bit unbelievable and gloated in his heart.At that time, with these two acres of land, who among the three brothers would not fight for the younger brother to come to the house?Just because he was the eldest brother, he made the final decision.It sounds different now, the eldest brother's family has lived a lot better than them in recent years, now they have lost two acres of land and two less staff, it will be hard to say in the future.

The ones with the ugliest faces were Ye Genbao and Li Jinyuan.Ye Genbao glared at Li Jinyuan angrily, but he didn't expect that the person he was looking for with confidence was unreliable, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a real contract or not.However, Li Jinyuan misunderstood the look in his eyes, and the two spoke together, but their words were completely different.

"Third Uncle, it turns out I made a mistake. I will return the land deed to my fourth brother..." Ye Genbao knew that there was a title deed, and he would definitely not be able to fool Third Uncle Xu. admit.

"It's written on it that we need to return it only when we get married. Now of course we have to keep it in our family..." Li Jinyuan stared at the annual harvest of the two acres of land, thinking he had taken advantage of the loophole and refused to let go.

If it weren't for going to court at the village chief's house now, or if someone who relied on him used this to play a scoundrel, there might really be nothing to do with him.But the Xu family has been the head of Linxia Village for hundreds of years, so how could they let him play tricks like this.

"Ye Da, I will do as you said. Bring the land deed now, and I will let Jiaqin hand it over to your fourth brother, so that there will be no disputes over the two acres of land in the future." Xu San made a decision for them immediately, Li Jinyuan After listening to his own man's words, he seemed to realize that the way other people looked at him was not quite right.

"Thanks for your hard work, Uncle Xu, Fourth Brother will be very grateful to you when he finds out." Thinking that the dust had finally settled, Ye Xiaoan stepped forward and said.

Over there, Ye Genbao and Ye Gen were in charge, and Li Jinyuan followed them disheartenedly, about to leave one by one.

Xu San waved his hand at Ye Xiaoan, but stopped Li Jinyuan: "Master Ye, stay here, brother Ting is looking for you."

Li Jinyuan paused, and said reluctantly: "If there is something to do, let him go to my house, and I will go back and cook!"

Xu Jiaqin, who sent them out, couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a low voice, "You don't even remember what you did to him?"

If it wasn't for the family's reputation, Dad would have told the story just now.It's strange that this person says everything with confidence, as if no one knows what he is doing behind the scenes.

"You..." Li Jin originally thought that it would be bad luck if he lost the real title deed, but he never expected that he seemed to know something else in his words.

"Father, I'll stay and talk to Brother Ting." Li Jinyuan gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth when he saw that several people's eyes were on him.

Ye Genbao gave a "hmm" and walked out first.

"Brother, it's hidden deep enough! There is a lot of food in the two acres of land, right? It's better to return it to the fourth brother quickly, maybe he can save money to buy a brother to live with." After leaving the door, Ye Gen patted Big Brother shoulder said.

Ye Xiaoan glanced at him, talking about the fourth brother in such a contemptuous tone, it was hard for him to have a good impression.

The door behind him was already closed, and Ye Genbao also knew that Li Jinyuan's being left behind must not be as simple as "talking", but he didn't know if he was caught.It was rare for him to ignore his younger brother's criticizing words, and walked towards the house in a sullen manner.
