Chapter 26 The three brothers officially separated
When Lin Sanqi traveled back to 1959, it was already afternoon.
The door he passed through this time was not the door of the main house of the house, but the reverse room in the east courtyard. There was a room with debris piled inside, and no one usually lived in it.
At this time, the family was in full swing doing infrastructure construction.
Aren't we going to separate the families? To separate the families, we need to knock out all the side doors leading in and out of the three main rooms, and then open a door to the south each, so that each family can live in one room without disturbing each other.
Lin Kushen was afraid of long nights and many dreams, so she quickly learned about the family separation while her three sons were still polite.
If we wait until there is a quarrel between the two before we separate, I'm afraid any brotherly love will be a joke. Is it rare for brothers to turn against each other and become enemies?
So today I asked people from the General Affairs Department of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to help with infrastructure construction. The bricks left behind when the door was opened can be used to seal the door of the inner room. The waste was reused and some cement was used.
Cement was a scarce commodity in 1959, but a unit as big as Kuanjie Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital had no shortage of it. It meant that you had to pay for it yourself, and no one wanted to take advantage of the public.
Jin Caifeng, Fu Muxiang, and Pei Xuehua, the three women from the Lin family, were busy moving things.
When Lin Sanqi walked into the middle courtyard, there were already many neighbors gathered around to watch the fun.
Matchmaker Wang shook her head and sighed:
"The Lin family is still broken up. Before, it was the most united family in our courtyard. Now that we have an additional son, we will separate the family immediately. It's a family bond~~"
Hou Daya didn't take it seriously: "It's better to divide it up. Each of us can live a good life of our own, so as not to be dragged down by the old man in the future."
Nabeile probably thought of his ancestors and sighed with Matchmaker Wang:
"I think that when my grandfather was still alive, he also divided the family among several sons. At that time, the eldest son got the biggest share, and almost all the family property and titles were given to the eldest son. The other sons just gave some money and spent it. My father is the eldest son in my family. That Belle Mansion..."
Hou Daya interrupted impatiently:
"Okay, okay, even if your family is the king of iron hats, aren't you still a lonely old man in the west wing? Stop bragging. Look, the scourge of the Lin family's separation is back."
"That's right, if this boy from the Lin family doesn't come back, the Lin family probably won't be able to separate."
"I guess I came home because I couldn't survive being a gangster outside. Otherwise, why didn't I come back before?"
Lin Sanqi was stunned after hearing this, thinking that if you talk about people, just talk about people. How can you talk directly in front of people? Shouldn't it be whispering bad things behind your back?
Originally, Lin Sanqi wanted to distribute her fruit candies to these neighbors, but now she doesn’t.
After giving the neighbors a blank look, Lin Sanqi walked directly to her home, stood at the door and looked in.
Originally, the two doors on the left and right of the main hall had been sealed with bricks, and workers put a layer of white cement on them, so that the three rooms were completely separated.
Jin Caifeng was cleaning with his head down, a gloomy look on his face.
In the east room on the right, sister-in-law Fu Muxiang is also cleaning up the furniture. It can be seen that she is a diligent woman who is meticulously cleaning the dust on the furniture, her face is also gloomy.
At this time, in the west room on the left, the second sister-in-law was using wooden boards to make the kitchen next door with an excited look on her face. Even the coal stove was ready.
We just talked about the separation yesterday, and even the kitchen was set up today. It seems that the second sister-in-law had planned the separation for a long time, but she just lacked an opportunity.
Lin Sanqi cursed in his heart: This second Lin is really not a thing, and he, a time-traveler, has been blamed for the family separation.
It's normal to separate families, but we can't say whether we can do it or not.
Especially the son who is the first to propose a family separation will often bear the blame and pressure from public opinion. After all, this is a sign of unfilial piety. "Ama, I'm back."
"Ah, Qizai, where did you go to play in this hot day? Go inside and cool down quickly."
Lin Sanqi looked around the room and thought that since there was no air conditioning and no electric fan, it would be better to cool off outside.
"Mom, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, our families are divided now?"
Pei Xuehua is always in high spirits when happy events happen, and he is much more pleased with Lin Sanqi:
"Yes, it's settled. Grandma said we'll have another dinner together tonight, and we'll start our own cooking from tomorrow on. Look, I'm getting ready, so I won't be in a hurry tomorrow."
Jin Caifeng rolled her eyes at her second daughter-in-law, and then said unhappily:
"Okay, let's prepare dinner quickly. Today I bought two kilograms of meat and the only rice left at home. Your father told me to cook it all. I fell down after eating. I can't survive this life anyway."
As soon as these words came out, even Pei Xuehua blushed a little.
In the evening, the aroma of braised pork filled the entire courtyard, arousing the greed of many people.
I don’t know how many children are being spanked by their parents at this time...
The normal atmosphere in the Lin family was not very good. Everyone did not dare to say anything, even if there was a plate full of braised pork and potatoes in the middle of the table.
Jin Caifeng, Lin Licorice and Fu Muxiang were not in the mood to eat.
Lin Duzhong and Pei Xuehua felt a little guilty and did not dare to speak.
Lin Sanqi was simply not hungry. Before he traveled through time, he had just had dinner at his home in Huadu, and he didn't feel hungry.
Only the two children, Lin Jiageng and Lin Zhenzhen, were so greedy that they kept swallowing saliva from the smell of the fragrant white rice and the sight of the oily fat meat.
But good tutoring prevented the two children from reaching out to pick up a piece of meat to taste.
At this time, the door opened, and Lin Sophora flavescens came in with a black leather bag in his hand. When he saw the family members, he smiled as if nothing had happened:
"Hey, just wait for me. I'm sorry that I came back late. There were too many patients, so I delayed my shift for a while. Let's start eating. Don't starve my grandchildren."
< br>
Lin Zhenzhen is good at flattering people. She is a brat. When she saw grandpa coming back, she immediately put the dishes and chopsticks away:
"Grandpa, it's time to eat."
"Okay, eat, let's all eat. After this meal, I don't know when the next time I will eat white rice and braised pork. Even if there is a little wine, we can't drink it.
Let me make an agreement first. From now on, everyone can live their own lives. Whether your life is good or bad depends on you, whether you have any financial difficulties, whether the couple has quarreled, and don't bother me and your mom with these difficult matters. . ”
Lin Licao couldn't stand it anymore: "Father, how could you say that..."
Lin Sophora flavescens waved her hands repeatedly:
"Don't, don't, don't. Having more children is not necessarily a blessing, it can also be a debt. Fortunately, you are the only debt collector now. Qizai, what kind of girl do you like? I will go to the hospital to find one for you." ”
Jin Caifeng's originally depressed face suddenly became brighter:
"You have to choose carefully. You have to choose someone with a good temper. You can't choose someone from a small family or a narrow-minded family, so as not to make the family uneasy."
After hearing this, Pei Xuehua smiled and pinched her husband's waist hard...
