After a tiring day during the day, Xie Jiaojiao wanted to sleep a long time ago, but the cold bed really kept her awake. It had been several days since she traveled across time, and she didn't have any oil or water in her stomach. Not to mention the clothes she wore and the cover she wore , Alas, it’s tiring to talk too much.
Xie Jiaojiao misses the 21st century with WiFi and mobile phones.
I don’t know if she was drowned. I don’t know how my parents and younger brother would react when they saw her body. When I thought of this, Xie Jiaojiao started to cry in discomfort. She was really unlucky for eight lifetimes. I worked so hard to get into a good university, and I worked so hard to gain a foothold in the city. The house I bought has just been renovated, but I haven’t even lived in it yet, and now I’m in such a useless place.
After thinking about this, he fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, I was awakened by the crow of chickens in the chicken coop in the backyard.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't remember that when she slept that night, the bed was freezing cold. This morning, she felt that the bed was just a little warm, and she was about to get up again.
Xie Jiaojiao turned over, not wanting to think about it anyway, until Xie Zhiyi knocked on the door: "Sister, get up, it's time to have breakfast."
Xie Jiaojiao got up reluctantly.
When they arrived at the dinner table, Chen Hongju said angrily: "It's already been three o'clock in the morning, my sister-in-law can really sleep."
Xie Jiaojiao was eating the steamed bun while staring at Chen Hongju funny and asked: "Sister-in-law, you don't have a cold, do you?"
The people at the table looked at Chen Hongju. Chen Hongju glared at Xie Jiaojiao, lowered her head to eat her food, and stopped talking.
The whole family had just finished breakfast when the village chief came over.
Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili hurried to greet him.
The village chief Chen Shouren glanced at the two brothers, but didn't say anything unnecessary.
Sun Ruhua pulled out a stool for the village chief and asked him to sit down.
Chen Shouren nodded slightly and then asked, "Have you thought about it? As long as you are alive, your family can be separated."
Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili both stared at Sun Ruhua, fearing that she would suddenly say that they would not separate their families.
Sun Ruhua shook her head: "Village Chief, I have already thought about it."
The two brothers looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Shouren sighed and took out paper, ink, pen and inkstone.
Sun Ruhua counted the fields in this family in detail. The Xie family had ten acres of good farmland, six acres of second-class farmland, and two acres of land that was cleared at the foot of the mountain when Xie Zhen was still well.
Then he said, the poultry in the house: one pig, three hens, and one rooster.
Finally, there is this house. All the previous houses of the Xie family were sold to the village chief. Anyway, this house is all that is left in the yard and nothing else.
Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Zhishu, Xie Zhili and Xie Zhiyi.
"The farmland in this family was originally reserved for you three brothers. Each of you has three acres of fertile land, and two acres of second-class farmland. The extra one acre of fertile land will be reserved for me, an old woman. The two acres your father opened up wasteland at the foot of the mountain will be reserved for you." Just give it to Jiaojiao.”
Everyone had heard it before, but in the end Xie Jiaojiao was given two acres of land. Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili were unhappy, especially Xie Zhishu.
"Mom, this Jiaojiao will get married in the future, why should we allocate land to her? In addition, I followed my father to open up the two acres of land." This is not for nothing, Xie Jiaojiao, this damn girl ? Although the yield of these two acres of land is small, the good thing is that if you open up wasteland yourself, you don't have to pay taxes to the court, and no matter how much you grow, it is yours.
Sun Ruhua said angrily: "What should we do? Just you three brothers will divide the family property and kick your sister out? She's not married yet! How do you want her to live?"
Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili stopped talking.
Chen Shouren looked at Sun Ruhua, and Sun Ruhua directly asserted: "Village chief, this is what we should do!"
Xie Zhili said at this time: "Mom, can you add one more thing? If my sister gets married, we will take back this land."
"Don't even think about it. If you don't agree, that's fine!"
The two brothers immediately showed proud expressions.
"If you don't agree, this family will not be divided."
How can that work!
Xie Zhishu hesitated for a long time and said, "Okay, okay, just do what you say, mother!" From now on, at worst, he can just open up wasteland by himself.
Chen Shouren then continued writing.
Then came the poultry: "There is only one pig in the house. When the time comes to celebrate the New Year, we will sell it and we will pay for it. Each of the three brothers will have one hen. I will keep the rooster so that it can hatch chicks next year."
No one has any opinion.
The rest is the money Sun Ruhua got from selling the land yesterday.
The first and second bedrooms stared at the silver without turning their eyes.
Sun Ruhua said: "There is only so much silver. I will go to town tomorrow to exchange it for copper coins, and then we will divide it."
"Mom, it's so troublesome. Anyway, it's just some silver coins. We three brothers can divide it equally."
Hearing what Xie Zhili said, Sun Ruhua's heart became colder and colder. They didn't consider her as a mother or their sister at all, they only thought that they could get more.
Xie Zhiyi gave the money to Sun Ruhua as soon as he got it.
Seeing that he was still young, Sun Ruhua accepted it for him.
Then there was the issue of Sun Ruhua's support. The eldest and second eldest children said directly: "We three brothers will take turns to take care of this mother, one room for one month."
But Sun Ruhua shook her head: "I will follow Lao San. He is still young and his father is gone. No matter what, I will take care of him."
The second bedroom was a dream come true, so the matter was settled. Sun Ruhua said: "If I leave in the future, my acre of fertile land will be left to the third child."
Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili disagreed, but their daughters-in-law helped them, and they did not speak in the end.
Then there is this house. The courtyard of the Xie family is quite large. Although the houses are all adobe thatched houses, there are many houses, so everyone divides them according to the house they live in now.
The last thing is the grain harvested this year. This good division is divided according to the population.
However, when the food was being distributed, Zhou Cuihong, the second roommate, said what kind of food the girl should share, and was directly criticized by the first room and Sun Ruhua, so in the end, the food was divided according to head. The second roommate had fewer people, so she got less, and it was very difficult to divide. It's dissatisfaction.
Chen Shouren's paperwork was also completed, and the brothers took their fingerprints.
Originally, Sun Ruhua wanted to ask the village chief to stay for a meal, but before she could say anything, the first and second bedroom happily returned to the house with their documents.
Of course, the village chief doesn't want to stay. What good food can he eat here? Besides, the Xie family was so poor that they sold their land yesterday. What good food can he get here? Might as well go home and eat.
After the village chief left, Xie Jiaojiao felt that this cheap girl seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao's concerned eyes, Sun Ruhua shook her head and said she was fine, then reached out to hold Xie Zhiyi in her arms.
"Don't worry, mother will definitely be able to raise you."
Xie Zhiyi leaned in Sun Ruhua's arms: "Mom, don't worry, I will grow up in a few years, and I will support you then."
Sun Ruhua's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
