Chapter 10 Dividing Fields

After the new year, Li Dequan spent some money and sent Jingzhe to the private school of the landlord's house.Zhuangzili is also close, and after school Jingzhe rushes to do some work like carrying water. Wang's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is about to give birth.

The matter of dividing the land is right in front of us. After several discussions, it was finally decided that tonight, the Li family members called Gu Yu's third and fifth grandfathers to discuss the matter of dividing the land under the oil lamp. .

Gu Yu decided to go with Li Dequan, she was really afraid that her father would be too honest, and she would suffer a big loss when she returned a piece of land that could not grow rice, besides, the whole family was waiting for the rice to be cooked.

When he got to the tile-roofed house in the half-built building, Gu Yu was not afraid when he saw a room full of people, and followed Li Dequan, standing quietly in the shadow behind him.

Li Jiahou said, "You all know this, the third child has to be separated, and the family didn't give them a house, and we are getting old, so..."

Seeing that old man Li's words were wrong, Li He quickly said, "I won't talk about how to divide the family. Your third and fifth grandpas are also here, and there are only a few things in the house. After they finish dividing up our old man's and old lady's, we will not die of hunger." become……"

Gu Yu almost wanted to talk, your mother's, our family was kicked out, and at this time, you are being bullied instead?Do you really want to talk out of your face? This old lady has lived all her life, and she treats her son like this. My father has something to do with you. What kind of friendship do I have with you? If you get anxious, I, Gu Yu, will say anything come out.

When Gu Yu clenched his small fists, the third grandfather said, "Sister-in-law, don't say these words indiscriminately. Back then, you said all day long that the whole family is the third child, why is it so now? I won't talk about these, Let’s talk about dividing the fields first.”

Li Dejiang also said: "That's right, let's talk about the field first."

This time Mrs. Zhang came rushing over, really embarrassing her whole body, "That's right, the two of us have been working hard all these years, suffering in the field day and night, and the third child didn't come back when he went out. , We have always been filial to the father and mother, and the land is almost raised, if they are separated at this time, we have a big family here, what will happen."

As he talked, he went crooked, and Gu Yu was very angry when he heard it.This is not just foreshadowing, the key will come later.

Sure enough, Li He said: "Don't say that we are biased. This family has a total of tens of acres of land. I think of you four brothers. It counts as four points. I and the old man count one share. Qiao'e Let’s count one share first, and then we’ll talk about it when Qiao’e goes out. This way, there are six shares in total. The third child’s family will count one share, and your third grandfather and fifth grandfather will roughly calculate it. The third child’s family has only two acres of paddy fields, plus On the eight-acre sloping land, there happens to be such a seven-eight-mu sloping land next to the river, a paddy field, which is about the same as two mu, so let the old three take care of it."

Fifth Grandpa said, "The size of the land is not too different. Even my sister-in-law, the sloping land is too thin, and I guess I can't grow anything. Besides, there is no reason for a girl to occupy the land. Qiao'e is not young anymore. , why bother to suffer those two crimes, it’s still clean if you divide it once.”

Li Dejiang also said: "Uncle Wu is right. There are five people in the third child's family, and the slope is too thin."

Mrs. Zhang is not happy at this time, "Land Shou is not dependent on raising, there is no reason why we have raised them for so many years, and we will divide them out as soon as we go home. I don't agree with this. Li Chun Li Xia, you are really suffering, such a small We are about to pass the days and months when there is not enough to eat, my Liqiu..."

Mrs. Zhang simply played tricks.

The third grandfather was a little impatient, and said to Li Heshi, "Sister-in-law, why do you invite us here if this is the case."

Feeling ashamed, Li He also came forward to stop her: "Master, since this is the case, we should just divide it up together. Anyway, your third uncle and fifth uncle are here, so you won't say that we are partial."

Only then did Mrs. Zhang stop, and stood aside and stared at them.

Li Dejiang was a little helpless at this time, "Even if this land is like this, mother also said that I gave the land by the river to the third child, but after all, if it is divided into five parts, the third child's family will have three acres of paddy fields. What mother just said Kuai Tian is less than two acres, since what I have said is not biased, the family still has a paddy field of more than one mu by the river, so it is barely enough to give it to the third child."

Mrs. Zhang refused again, "Okay, that field is so good, you have to say something, third child, you can't take up all the benefits without saying a word. The field is watered by the river. When harvesting On the side of the road, I don’t know how much easier it is to do work.”

Gu Yu didn't want to talk at first, and the land distribution is considered fair. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang said that their family took advantage, she said in the shadows crisply: "Third Grandpa, Fifth Grandpa, you heard it too, Daddy My aunt said that our land is good, otherwise the land will be divided into five shares, and the land will be divided into no shares. We can just draw lots, and we can’t take advantage of this side.”

Li Dejiang was probably also annoyed by Zhang's behavior, he slapped his hands and laughed: "My niece said well, if my sister-in-law thinks it's unfair, we'll take advantage of it and share it together. If I think it's unfair, we can draw lots, and we can't blame others in the end."

Where did Mrs. Zhang think that such a thing would happen? She only wanted to get Gu Yu's family out. Of the rest of the big family, only she has two sons, a daughter and three young children. Wouldn't it be a loss to separate the family? She thought again in her mind, anyway, it's not her own home, and in the future, if she cooks three acres by herself, she will secretly get some eggs and meat, anyway, she can't lose her own benefits, so she just let it go.

"I'm just talking about it. As a family, we have to suffer a little bit. Since the parents have nothing to say, naturally I have no objections. It's just the fourth child and Qiao'e?"

The fourth child, Li Dehe, shook his head: "I will listen to my parents."

Grandpa Fifth also stood up, "That's enough. In the future, the three acres of paddy fields and eight acres of sloping land by the river will belong to the third family. Did you take advantage of this to divide them?"

Li He put on a smiling face, "Let's make do with it first. Originally, the fourth child didn't marry a wife, and Qiao'e didn't go out, and there was no reason to separate the family. It's just that the third child came back suddenly, and he was capable. Even the son They were all sent to private schools, and we won’t be able to gain any glory, so we should live separately, so as not to spread the word and think that I don’t let them live a good life.”

Li Dequan said with some embarrassment, "Mother, this Jing Zhe has some background, so I don't want to delay him."

Seeing an opportunity, Mrs. Zhang interrupted and said, "Mother, why don't Li Chun and Li Xia also go to a private school to study."

Lichun Lixia, who was watching the excitement, shouted: "No, no, I don't want to go to the private school. I'm going to dig out the bird's nest. What's so good about studying? I'm even slapped by my master when I sit in it."

Since her son refused, Mrs. Zhang just cursed a few words, and then said: "What kind of foundation can this have? Is it possible that the whole family still expects to be a scholar?"

Li Dejiang squinted at her: "Look at the words Jing Zhe wrote on my gate, I feel like I've humiliated him for a scholar!"

Fifth Grandpa stood up at this time: "The field is also divided, the rest is your family business, I will go home now."

The third grandfather naturally followed suit.

Gu Yu was afraid that there would be some changes, so she dragged Li Dequan to go home, she didn't want to stay here, so Li Dequan could only smile, and dragged Gu Yu out.

Under the moonlight, the two walked through the vegetable field, and Li Dequan hugged Gu Yu, "My daughter is the smartest, who taught you how to draw lots."

Gu Yu smiled, "Brother!"

All the way back home without mentioning.
