I live in the countryside

Chapter 154 Brothers are separated, Lu Heng's intention (double more in one)

The elders are gone.

The hall uncle shook his head, walked over and patted Uncle Qiao on the shoulder: "Let's just leave it like this, you really are, if you come back and say this, if it spreads out, people will make fun of it, the whole Qingxi Village, only our old Qiao This kind of thing happened at home.”

The elders are gone, Uncle Qiao is not as polite as before, he frowned and said: "Could it be that all the land in our family belongs to Zong Ming and others, and Zong Zhao and I don't have any, so what should the next generation of children do? "

The uncle in the lobby looked very complicated. He felt that the boss of the Qiao family looked like an intellectual, and his knowledge was not as good as that of a villager. Naturally, it needs to be redistributed, and that will have to wait until our generation is old and unable to do it anymore. We will hand over the land to the children for them to handle. However, that is the children's business. You say that, why, your son Are you coming back to farm?"

Before Uncle Qiao could speak, the hall uncle said meaningfully, "The older generation said that people in the countryside eat dirt, and those in the city eat rice. If you can't figure it out, just think about it. You are buying a house in the city now." , if Zong Ming and the others say that your house in the city is half the size of a brother’s, and they ask you to give it up, would you like it?”

"How can it be the same!" Uncle Qiao was emotional.

The hall uncle smiled, took a meaningful look at the eldest aunt, and said to Uncle Qiao: "You shouldn't be confused about the old Qiao's family. Don't be hurt by the wind around the pillow."

At such an advanced age, Uncle Qiao's face became hot and hot when he was reminded of such words.

Didn't this imply that he couldn't handle the housework and was led by his wife? People with a little bit of machismo couldn't stand such words, let alone someone like Uncle Qiao.

At this time, Ying Bo, who was standing beside him, couldn't stand it anymore.

Can't help but come over, said: "It's all the same reason, you can't be good or bad, it's all yours, Zong Hua and the two left in the country have nothing, and you and Zong Zhao have to be supported."

"Second brother..." Facing Uncle Ying, Uncle Qiao looked more polite: "When did I say that I would be raised by them, there is no such thing."

Qiao Yiyao muttered beside him: "Then what does it mean that you take several bags of rice from home to the city every time you go home? The rice you eat all year round is not grown by my parents?"

Although the voice was low, who could not hear it?

Although the brothers and sisters in the village usually send some vegetables and rice from the countryside when the children who have gone out in the countryside come back, but it is not so easy to send out bags one by one.

Seeing Uncle Qiao's eyes became more and more complicated at the moment, Uncle Qiao couldn't help himself, and almost wanted to be fierce to Qiao Yiyao, Ying Bo said first: "Okay, children, how can you talk like this?"

Yingbo came to the house more often, and Qiao Yiyao was no stranger to him, so he grinned drunkenly when he heard the words: "Oh, I'll just talk, I didn't say anything."

After speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving only Uncle Qiao, unable to vent his anger.

Ying Bo obviously wanted to protect Qiao Churan's family.

Uncle Qiao knew the status of Yingbo's child, so he was always polite and flattering to Yingbo. He thought that if his son needed to develop in the future, he could ask Yingbo for favors.

Therefore, in front of Yingbo, even if you are angry, you can't vent it.

After so many years of experience, Yingbo can tell what a person is thinking just by looking at his eyes. He doesn't have any enthusiasm for Uncle Qiao, so he just said meaningfully: "Zong Hua, we haven't talked properly for more than [-] years. gone."

Faced with Yingbo, Uncle Qiao has always been in a complicated mood.

With a little awe, but also a little unwilling.

Three or 40 years ago, Yingbo was a bastard in the village. He hadn't finished elementary school. He is more important than the lobby uncle, the current head of the Qiao family.

"Yeah, I haven't spoken much for many years." Uncle Qiao said embarrassingly.

Yingbo laughed, and said: "When we have lived to our age, we can't look like a six or seven-year-old child. You are the eldest brother in Zong Ming's family. If you make it difficult for the younger brother, you still make Ran Ran look like this." Dyeing such a junior is ugly, isn't this embarrassing our old Qiao family?"

The smile on Uncle Qiao's face froze. Uncle Ying understood enough that he was on the side of Qiao Churan's family, and it would be of no benefit to him if there was a big trouble.

Uncle Qiao was speechless, and Uncle Ying didn't say anything more, and said to Qiao Churan, "Ranran, I'm leaving first, save some food for me in the evening, and I'll come to eat later."

Qiao Churan responded with a smile, and sent the elders away with Qiao Yiyao.

In the yard of Qiao's house, it was completely quiet.

Chen Mei and the third aunt sat together, and they didn't speak all the time. At this time, the expression on her face was not very good. Taking advantage of the conversation outside, the third aunt even called her husband who was working outside, and talked about this matter.

Uncle Qiao was out and couldn't participate in this matter, but he also felt chilled when he heard that his elder brother came back to make trouble like this.

Auntie Qiao was not close to anyone in the clan, and there were even some people who didn't know her, so she didn't dare to speak just now. Seeing that everyone had dispersed, she said angrily, "Your family really has It's enough to buy the hearts of the people in the clan, okay, now, the whole old Qiao's family has joined together to bully those of us who are not at home, I have seen what it means to be unkind."

"Shut up!" Uncle Qiao said fiercely suddenly.

He was already upset by the uncle's suggestion, thinking about what his wife always said in his ears before returning, that everything in the Qiao family would be owned by Ah Hui in the future, he couldn't help but feel unhappy.

Now that his wife still said that about the Qiao family, he naturally wouldn't allow it.

This is to offend people. He is not in the village because of the change of household registration. If he is still unpopular because of this, how can he continue to mess around in the future?
Aunt Qiao naturally didn't understand her husband's considerations, and she became even more unhappy when she was yelled at like this: "Shut up! You told me to shut up? Qiao Zonghua, don't go too far. Who am I for, and not for you and my son?" Alright, just watch as your son won't be able to get anything from Qiao's family in the future!"

Both the third aunt and Chen Mei felt that this sister-in-law was very funny: "My sister-in-law has a big mouth, and she wants to stuff a big steamed bun while eating a pig's leg. Just now the clan made it very clear that if Ah Hui came back to farm, the land at home It must be re-divided into three parts, and you still insist on this point, just because you don't recognize the words of the clan?"

The eldest aunt stared at Chen Mei and the third aunt.

Aunt Qiao doesn't understand the local language, so these things can't help her at all. She can't quarrel with Third Aunt and Chen Mei, a very talkative woman in the village.

Grandma Qiao is still sticking to the traditional atmosphere. Women will never participate in discussing major issues at home, so just now when everyone was talking in the yard, she just sat at home without saying a word. Although she has no way to change the decision made by the clan, But I still want to give something more to the eldest son and the younger son in private.

Immediately said: "Zong Ming, you can let your elder brother and younger brother, if you take the initiative to give some, the big guy will not say that you are all brothers, how can you do this, you don't think about your elder brother and younger brother, these years, The family relies entirely on your elder brother and younger brother to live such a comfortable life."

Chen Mei didn't like to hear these words very much. She had been upset for a long time when she heard that Grandma Qiao only had the eldest son and the younger son in her heart.

Coupled with what Uncle Qiao said before, saying that her daughter-in-law is not from her own family, it really chilled her, so she immediately said to Grandma Qiao in front of everyone: "Your heart is all on them, father Ranran And her third uncle, isn't it your son, do you still have these two sons in your eyes?"

Grandma Qiao's face darkened, and Uncle Qiao stood up first: "Second sister-in-law, what do you mean, you even scolded my mother!"

Chen Mei said bluntly: "What do I mean, I'll make it clear when you are all here today, you take it for granted!"

Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao's quarrel today, everyone can see that it is Grandma Qiao's preference and acquiescence. The old lady only has these two "capable" sons who can buy a house in the city in her heart, and she almost forgot He also has two sons.

Facing the old lady, Chen Mei said bluntly: "For so many years, uncle and uncle have been living outside, but do they take care of you? I don't come back to see you once in a year or so, and I don't even bring a piece of fruit when I come back. , for so many years, the two of them have given you a penny every time they go home during the festival? The food and food are all given by Ranran's father and her third uncle. That's fine, even Ranran After work, come back to be filial to your money, you secretly gave it to her uncle and uncle."

"Then, what I gave is mine. I'll give it to my son, so you still care about me?" Grandma Qiao was not happy, and also yelled at Chen Mei,

But she didn't know that her words of course made Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao lose face.

Chen Mei sneered, "Okay, you only have two sons, big and small, in your eyes. You broke your leg and went to the hospital two years ago. Her uncle and uncle pressed and pressed for medical expenses, and they didn't pay a single cent. Who took care of you for a few months, and couldn't even do a temporary job outside, old lady, where did your heart go?"

What Chen Mei said, Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao couldn't utter a word.

After all, none of what Chen Mei said was a lie. The brothers also said it back then. They lived in the city and Grandma Qiao lived at home. They were all supported by Qiao Zongming and Uncle Qiao's family, and even every time they came back, they had to take the money she had saved from Grandma Qiao's purse.

Chen Mei continued with a cold face: "You said that Ranran's father didn't think about the brothers, if he didn't think about the two of them, why should he maintain the decency between the brothers, every year and festival, as long as they come back, he will prepare the dishes Wine, don't think about them, can take care of you with all your heart, prepare clothes first when it's cold or hot, don't let them both worry about you, an old mother, being left at home and no one will take care of you? Don't think about them, who is it? Two years ago, because of the land dispute over the old house left to them, they almost had a falling out with someone else's house, and they were almost hacked at the door with a knife? Just to keep this little brotherhood?"

The third aunt couldn't stand it anymore, and then Chen Mei said: "Mom, you only have her uncle and uncle in your heart. It's ridiculous that you even told the uncle that my second sister-in-law and I didn't cook for you. This is no longer partiality, it is a big hatred between the heavens and the earth, don't we want the children of our two families?"

"enough!"

Uncle Qiao said sharply, "I don't mean not to take care of Mom!"

Even Grandma Qiao couldn't say a word of rebuttal. She used to be able to quarrel with Chen Mei, but now she has no confidence at all. Instead, she said in a soft voice: "That's not it. What can be given is naturally given to them, besides, between brothers, there is no need to be so clear..."

Chen Mei sneered, Qiao Zongming looked tired.

He has suffered from his mother's eccentricity all his life, from being sad when he was a child to being hopeless later, he has long been used to it now.

Only his wife is always complaining for him and for the family.

"There is no need to distinguish between brothers. Mom, can you make my brother and Zong Zhao come back to fight for land without being so clear?" Qiao Zongming asked Grandma Qiao.

Grandma Qiao is only for her eldest son, so she can't speak.

Qiao Zongming quickly said: "Ranran's mother is right, brother, Zong Zhao, none of you know how mother has been living at home these years, and you have not fulfilled your responsibility as a son. Today, if you say that Ranran's mother is not , It’s just that you are ignoring me, you should apologize and say sorry.”

Chen Mei's eyes were slightly hot, she turned her face away and said nothing.

It's impossible to apologize. Uncle Qiao's embarrassment made him feel uncomfortable. He held his breath and looked very ugly: "From now on, Mom and I will live in the county town, and I will take care of it!"

"what?"

Grandma Qiao was completely shocked, but there was a gleam of light in her eyes.

That was in the city, and she followed her son to live in the city, which made many old ladies in the village envious.

It's just that the eldest aunt was shocked, and her face became very ugly. She didn't want to take care of the old lady!
Uncle Qiao was also shocked, "Brother..."

Uncle Qiao was humiliated by the whole family today, and now Chen Mei, a daughter-in-law of Qiao's family, pointed out that he does not support his mother, so he will lose face.

Looking at Chen Mei and Qiao Zongming at the moment, he said, "If you think taking care of mom is a hassle, tell me if you don't want to take care of me. I'll go to the county seat and live with me, and in the future, I don't need you to take care of me, just pay alimony every month as I said before!"

This decision came suddenly, and Qiao Zongming disagreed.

The situation of the old lady, it is impossible to live in the city, the language is not fluent, and there is no old lady who can communicate with him. He knows it too well. The aunt does not want to live with the old lady at all. If she goes to the city, she is going to suffer. His big brother is a bit far-sighted in other places, but in this respect, he is really naive.

It's a pity that Uncle Qiao was probably stimulated by this incident, and he was determined to take Grandma Qiao away. In addition, Grandma Qiao herself was very high-quality, and she was going to go back to her room to pack her things. Qiao Zongming couldn't stop him, and he couldn't stop.

He couldn't express Chen Mei's apology, and he didn't want to make a fuss about it in the village. He probably got emotional and decided to take Grandma Qiao to live in the county.

When the sun was about to set, Uncle Qiao left Qiao's house with Grandma Qiao.

But after this incident, the brothers of the Qiao family were completely divorced. Before Uncle Qiao left, he even said to Qiao Zongming: "Although the clan has made such a decision, I don't agree with it. Now the elders in the clan They are all still there, but in the future, Ayao and the children of the third family will get married, and this land will have to be re-divided, the things left by the ancestors should belong to A Hui, there is no reason why they should not have his share."

Qiao Yiyao looked at Uncle Qiao's haughty look, and finally couldn't help but said: "Who wants to take his things, it's as if everyone bullied him."

Uncle Qiao's face was heavy: "I will not come back in the future except for offering sacrifices to the ancestors. If you miss your mother, go to the county town to see her by yourself. Since you said that you have taken care of her for more than [-] years, Zong Zhao and I will take turns taking care of her!"

He didn't know that when he said this, the face of Aunt Qiao who was holding the child changed instantly!
As soon as Uncle Qiao left Qingxi Village with Grandma Qiao, the brothers of the Qiao family finally separated.

Qiao Zongming sat on a stone pier in the yard, with a sad expression on his face, "When Dad passed away, before he closed his eyes, I was the only one by his side. In those few days, he probably knew he was going, so he stayed with me all the time. Said, in the future, the brothers of our Qiao family must unite and live in harmony, and protect each other, so that we can go far. Unexpectedly, just a few years after Dad left, our family will become like this."

There is no family in Qingxi Village that has such troubles. No matter how violent the brothers are, if they meet tomorrow, smoke a cigarette and drink a glass of wine, everything will be over.

Chen Mei sighed: "What do you want to do so much? People say that brothers and sisters are not my own business. No one can experience it for themselves. Haven't you done enough all these years? If you give up one by one, even your underwear There are no more, they have been away for many years, they don’t understand the things in the countryside at all, but they always think that they know everything, and at such an old age, they should also suffer a little bit of life, otherwise, what will happen in the future!”

Qiao Zongming smoked a cigarette and didn't speak.

Chen Mei didn't say anything, and let her husband digest it by himself.

Anyway, she knew the truth in her heart. Grandma Qiao lived with these two sons, and she would know in the end who really treated her like a mother.

*
Such a big event happened in the Qiao family today, and a lot of news spread in the village.

But at this time, no one paid any attention to what the village said.

It doesn't matter if you say that the brothers of the Qiao family are divorced, or that Uncle Qiao is shameless, who in the village has no difficult scriptures to recite?

It was already late at this time, Qiao Churan drove Qiao Yiyao and the third aunt's daughter to the middle school in the town.

On the way, cousin Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Churan with eyes full of admiration. Even looking at Qiao Yiyao, she felt that this cousin who dared to challenge his uncle was really awesome!

"Sister Ranran, will my cousin come back in the future?"

Qiao Churan didn't care much and said, "It should."

"Huh?" It's all like this, will you come back?

Qiao Churan didn't explain. She is an adult, so she naturally thinks more than these two little kids. She just said: "Don't think too much about family matters, you are still children, just focus on your studies. gone."

Qiao Yue pursed her lips and said oh, while Qiao Yiyao snorted softly.

The car drove to the gate of the middle school in Wuxi Town, and was not allowed to enter the school, so Qiao Churan found a place to park and watched groups of students pouring into the school with their schoolbags on their backs.

She had contacted Lu Heng on WeChat before, and carrying two gift boxes, she went to the physics office to find Lu Heng.

On Sunday evening self-study, there were no other teachers in the physics office, only Lu Heng was preparing lessons, Qiao Churan knocked on the door, Lu Hengfang looked over, with a gentle smile on his face: "Here we come."

Because Qiao Churan was already familiar with her, she spoke briskly to Lu Heng: "There are not many planted this year, so I can only bring two boxes for Mr. Lu, and give it to the teachers in the office to try something new. Wait for the next season's fruit to grow, and then we will plant some new ones." Bring more, Mr. Lu, don't be disgusted."

Lu Heng didn't care too much, "One or two is enough. Qiao Yiyao said that you only planted more than one acre, which is not enough to sell. Besides, how dare I despise this special product that no one else can buy online."

Qiao Churan laughed, but Lu Heng asked, "I've known you for so long, but I haven't seriously asked you about the cantaloupe planting. I heard from Qiao Yiyao that you plan to expand planting in August, and now you have started planting in the village." Have you contracted the land?"

Qiao Churan was stunned: "This kid is a talker, but he can tell you everything, Mr. Lu."

Lu Heng laughed: "My relationship with them is more like friends."

There was nothing to hide at first, so Qiao Churan simply said: "We want to expand the planting, and we can't think about going back to the hometown for development. If we really only plant one or two acres, it's better not to plant."

Lu Heng asked Qiao Churan to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "I've seen your video, maybe the netizens didn't pay much attention to it, I noticed that in the video, there are some shots, occasionally I saw a small If you guessed right, it is a small intelligent system, right?"

Qiao Churan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Ms. Lu is indeed a physics teacher, you can tell it at a glance."

Lu Heng asked: "Mr. Qin brought it?"

Since Lu Heng is from Beicheng, he is from the university next door, and he is in almost the same field, so he should know something about Qin Muzhou, Qiao Churan smiled and said nothing.

Lu Heng smiled and said: "The geniuses in the computer field of Beicheng University in the past, never thought that all their lifelong learning would be devoted to Wuxi Town."

I don't know what kind of emotion it is, Qiao Churan listened, and his face became more serious, "Why does Mr. Lu have such a sigh? If I know correctly, you are also a leader in the physics field of North City University of Technology. , and today I am also working as a simple physics teacher in Wuxi Town Middle School."

Lu Heng laughed: "You know a lot about me."

Qiao Churan smiled without saying a word.

Lu Heng smiled and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything else, just... I was shopping at the market a few days ago and saw Mr. Tang."

Qiao Churan remained silent, and Lu Heng explained: "If I'm not wrong, your next greenhouse planting will use intelligence. If Mr. Qin participates, the project that was cut in half back then should also be restarted. gone."

There was too much information in these words, Qiao Churan didn't know how to react for a while, Lu Heng didn't seem to be a simple person either.

Lu Heng still said gently: "I don't know, I am a little simple physics teacher, can I have the honor to join you?"
