Chapter 40: Dividing the Land
"What is it? Tell me." Wang Huiying said gently.
"Mom and Dad, now that Yuanyuan is older, it is not a problem for our family to be crowded together. Ruyi and I discussed it and wanted to build another yard."
The air solidified. , everyone was silent.
Gu Yunliang had a sullen face and asked Gu Ruyi: "Do you want to separate the family?"
Gu Ruyi lowered his head and drank water fiercely, not daring to speak, and his face was as red as pig lungs.
Gu Yunliang sighed and said, "If we separate our families, can we still call them families? You two brothers have never had any quarrels since you were young. I always thought you were different from others. See Come on, I still missed it."
Huang Chunyan said quickly: "Dad, I just mentioned it casually. If you don't agree, just pretend I didn't say it. Yuanyuan is only 7 years old, we can still live together. "
Guan Youshuang spoke.
She said: "Mom and Dad, I think what my sister-in-law said makes sense. Errong was alone before, but now, we have formed a small family after all. The two families have lived together for a long time. It is inevitable that There will be stumbling.”
Huang Chunyan's sinking heart began to beat again, and she glanced at Guan Youshuang gratefully.
“What makes a family a family is not whether they live together, but whether their hearts are connected together. Yuanyuan is growing up and really needs his own space. I agree with my sister-in-law’s suggestion.”
< br>Gu Yunliang didn't say anything. Gu Ruyi said: "Your sister-in-law just mentioned that, even if the family is really separated, has she thought about where to live?"
"Tell me, have you thought about it? ?" he asked his wife again.
"Think about it. Isn't the old home of Xiaoling's family vacant? I asked her if I could borrow it to live in. Then we will come back and start repairing the house after the construction is completed in August."
Gu Yunliang was very angry. It turned out that she had already planned it.
He put down his chopsticks hard.
Wang Huiying looked at her husband and said, "Since you all agree, I don't have any objections. As for how to divide it, you can just discuss it yourself. Your dad and I should just follow Er Rong."
< br>Huang Chunyan was ecstatic. She knew that although her father-in-law Gu Yunliang had always made the decision in the family, he would never object as long as her mother-in-law said it.
She quickly finished the rice in the bowl and said, "Thank you, parents. Ruyi and I will definitely honor you two elders in the future. Yuanyuan, please pour some wine for grandpa."
"Mom, I don't want to live anywhere else. I want to stay with my grandparents." Yuan Yuan said unhappily with his head drooped and his mouth pouted.
"Yuanyuan, please follow us for the time being." Guan Youshuang said, "You will have to go out of town in two days. I will help you take care of Yuanyuan."
*
< br>Evening.
Huang Chunyan took two pairs of insoles embroidered by herself and went to Guan Youshuang.
Fortunately, she went early enough. Gu Errong was washing up and had not yet started to "show his bestiality".
Seeing his sister-in-law come in, Gu Errong quickly wiped his face and prepared to go out.
Huang Chunyan stopped him and said, "Erong, I'm here to talk about the land allocation. Why don't you come with me?"
"It's okay. You can talk to Youshuang. It's all up to her."
"That's OK."
After some pleasantries, Huang Chunyan said: "Youshuang, you may not know much about the situation of our family's private land. Let me tell you. Our family has a total of five acres and three-quarters of land. Except for the one-acre and two-acre large piece at the door, the other They are all scattered across the river.
“Although the soil at the door is not very good and it is a bit far from the river, as long as you are willing to work hard to pick up water and water it, you can plant potatoes or something. It's still possible. "The other side of the river is too far away and fragmented. Some of the land is the size of a palm, so it's still not easy to manage.
"That's what I think. Put the three-thirds of the river area together, put the rest together, and divide it like this. What do you think? ”
Guan Youshuang heard what Huang Chunyan meant. She wanted the land on the other side of the river.
This is understandable, because of the geographical advantage, the river was not dry a few years ago. At that time, almost all of their family's harvest came from those properties.
No, it should be all of them.
The land at the door was quite unruly. It was impossible to grow anything, and the grass was very lush. .
Guan Youshuang remembered the original book, although in the book, this happened a year later.
The reason was mainly because Guan Lei disagreed and she had not learned how to do it at that time. Rice.
Huang Chunyan also divided the land in this way. When she asked Guan Lei for her opinion, Guan Lei also understood that smart people would choose the side of the river with better soil, but she also arrogantly felt that Gu Errong was earning a salary by eating from the public family, so she brought some charity. With my mentality, I chose the large area at the door.
Gu Errong didn't have any objections and would come back to help during holidays. But Guan Lei, regardless of whether she was good at farming, she didn't even bother to go into the fields and tinkered with herself in front of the mirror all day long.
At first, Gu Yunliang and Wang Huiying helped with weeding and watering, but later because their back injuries had not recovered well and there were many conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they simply gave up.
Even if there is plenty of rain later, the land will always be weeds that are more prosperous than crops. Gu Yunliang was so angry that he cursed him.
That's not all. What's even more hateful is that later Fu Yinxi from the village fell in love with this piece of land, so Guan Lei took it upon herself to decide and agreed to buy it out at a "high price" of 1,000 yuan. She was so angry that Gu Errong couldn't sleep for several days.
Fu Yinxi has a son who is in college and is studying geology. He took the soil from that field during his vacation and went to school for testing and found that it was very suitable for growing several vegetables from other provinces.
He did this after graduation.
Facts proved that his judgment was correct. The family made a lot of money and bought a house in the provincial capital.
Of course this is a later story, written at the end of the book. By that time, Guan Lei had already been buried in the sea of fire.
As for Huang Chunyan, first of all, the soil in those fields is indeed good, and secondly, she is hardworking and takes her husband Gu Ruyi to work in the fields every day, hoeing the weeds in the fields.
Later, with God's help, there were bumper harvests every year, and the days became more and more prosperous.
Guan Youshuang took Huang Chunyan's hand and said, "Let's do this, sister-in-law. If you agree, I will choose the large piece at the door and leave the other three-cent piece to you."
< br>The stone hanging in Huang Chunyan's heart was put down.
She quickly said: "Ah, how can that be done? It's just over an acre of land. Besides, your parents are still following you, so my sister-in-law will feel very bad."
"It's okay, sister-in-law. You don’t know much about farming, so leaving the good land to me is a waste. Errong still has some income, so even if the crops are not good, he can still survive. You and your brother still have Yuanyuan, so you have to give Yuanyuan. Save some money."
What he said was so sincere that Huang Chunyan felt her nose was a little sore, and she held Guan Youshuang's hand tightly and was speechless.
"Sister-in-law, let's make an agreement. I will write a land allocation agreement later and let Errong read it in front of everyone tomorrow. What do you think?"
< br>"Okay, then you have a rest, I'll go over first."
"Youshuang, come out, mom will tell you something." Wang Huiying shouted in the yard.
