Although the saline-alkali land is not a good land, compared with so many tribesmen who don't even have any land, their family still has five acres of land.
The woman was reluctant to give up just like that.
Kong Yinfan sat cross-legged on the kang and said, "When we get to Datong, our son-in-law promised to give us fields, and we don't have to pay the rent ourselves."
"Even if the son-in-law agrees to give us the land, it is still someone else's land. Now let's talk about it. If he really collects rent from us, can we still hold him back?" the woman said.
Kong Yinfan looked at the woman in the dark and said, "What you mean is that we don't go with them and stay."
"My daughter just got married, and I don't know if her parents-in-law will get along well. Let's not cause any trouble to our daughter," the woman said.
Hearing this, Kong Yinfan lifted up the quilt and got in, saying: "Since you won't leave, then go to sleep. If my son-in-law's men come again, I will directly reject them and will not go with them."
As soon as the person lies down and covers himself with the quilt, his eyes close.
After working in the fields all day, the snoring started as soon as I closed my eyes.
"Hey, hey, the boss, the boss." When the woman heard the snoring, she didn't know what she thought of, and quickly pushed Kong Yinfan with her hand.
I slept so hard that I couldn't even wake up after being pushed several times.
Having no choice but to do so, the woman sat up from the bed, grabbed Kong Yinfan's ears and twisted them hard.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts." Kong Yinfan woke up from the pain, rubbed his eyes with his hands, looked at his mother-in-law in confusion and said, "What are you doing? You won't sleep anymore!"
When the woman saw that her man was done with it, she said, "What do you think of us selling the land and going to my uncle's place?"
"Who will buy the saline-alkali land? If it could be sold, Kong Yinjing's maid would have sold it long ago." Kong Yinfan said while lying on the pillow.
The woman frowned slightly and said, "But we just went to Datong. I don't know who will give these five acres of dry land on the east slope to us at a discount."
"Didn't you say you wouldn't go to your son-in-law?" Kong Yinfan turned his head and looked at his mother-in-law.
Hearing this, the woman said: "I don't want to leave my hometown and go to a place as far away as Datong, but if my daughter goes to Datong, something will happen. It's convenient for us to take care of my daughter in Datong."
"Then go to Datong. You can pack your things later. When the son-in-law's people come again, we will follow them." Kong Yinfan said nonchalantly.
At the same time, he turned over and pulled the quilt up.
The woman hesitated for a moment and said: "If we go to Datong, even for our daughter, it doesn't matter if we work hard."
"I think you are thinking about the land promised by your son-in-law." Kong Yinfan said.
The woman plucked Kong Yinfan with her hand and said, "I'm just worried about the land my son-in-law gave me. What's wrong? You don't care about it, but the land your clan gave you to plant is either saline-alkali land or most of the year's harvest is gone." It will be used as rent to the clan."
"Yes, yes, yes, I won't argue with you. I'm sleepy. Go to sleep! I'll talk to you tomorrow if you have anything to say." Kong Yinfan's eyelids kept fighting, and he was almost so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, just sleep. What if we leave the five acres of dry land on the east slope? We have to find a way to sell it." The woman pushed her man angrily.
Kong Yinfan said without opening his eyes: "My son-in-law's people will come to pick us up tomorrow. There is less than a day left. Who can sell these acres of saline-alkali land to? Let me tell you, let's just not want it. Love Whoever wants it wants it. It's hard work to take care of several acres of saline-alkali land, but there isn't much harvest all year round. It's not hard enough to plant it."
"You came to pick us up so soon? Has your daughter arrived in Datong?" The woman said with a surprised look, "Isn't Datong in Shanxi? My daughter has only been away for a few days, and she may not have even left Yanzhou Prefecture!"
At this moment, Kong Yinfan was terribly sleepy. The mother-in-law beside him kept asking endless questions. He said in an impatient tone: "Okay, okay, go to bed. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow morning. I'm so sleepy."
call! call!
While the woman was still thinking about where her daughter should go, Kong Yinfan's snoring sounded in her ears.
I wanted to wake him up and talk for a while, but I thought that my husband had done a lot of farm work during the day and it was really hard, so he couldn't bear to wake him up.
One night passed, and before the sky was fully bright, the morning rooster began to crow, and even other houses in the village that had roosters began to crow.
The woman who had been thinking wildly all night saw that her man was sleeping soundly, so she put on her clothes and got out of bed, washed her face briefly and started to prepare breakfast for the family.
Breakfast is plain water porridge, and when there are wild vegetables, add some wild vegetables.
"Mom, what happened this morning?" Kong Shangyun, who had just woken up, rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room.
"Drink porridge." The woman responded, filling a handful of firewood into the mouth of the stove, and then picked up the spoon beside the pot to stir it to prevent the porridge and rice from sticking to the pot.

"Drinking porridge again!" Kong Shangyun looked disappointed.
The leftovers Kong Yinfan brought back from the restaurant a few days ago fed the family several meaty meals. These days, they have turned into porridge and pickles, which makes him miss the leftovers he had eaten before.
"It's good to eat some, but you're still picky." The woman said angrily, and then added, "Hurry up and wash your face, and then call your dad. It's time to eat soon."
"Oh, got it."
Kong Shangyun responded weakly, pulled on his shoes and walked towards the hut in the corner of the yard.
Poor people are not so particular about washing their hands and face. As for using green salt to cleanse their mouth, that is what rich people do. Poor people are reluctant to put more salt in their meals. How can they be willing to make it so good? of salt to rinse your mouth with.
Eating porridge is the easiest thing to do. Once the porridge is cooked, just put it in a bowl and put it on the table. Then prepare a few pickles. The whole family gathers around the table to drink porridge and eat the pickles. It is a meal.
"Did you not sleep well at night?" Kong Yinfan, who was holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, noticed that his mother-in-law's eyes were red, her face was tired, and she looked like she had not had a good rest.
The woman picked up a piece of pickle with a kuai, put it into her son's porridge bowl, and said, "I didn't sleep all night long."
"Have you thought about it?" Kong Yinfan asked.
The woman took a sip of porridge and hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's a good thing to go to Datong with my son-in-law to take care of me, but I'm worried about whether my son-in-law's life is good there. If life is not so good, we will become a burden to my daughter if we go there." ”
"Mom, are we going to Datong?" Kong Shangyun, who was drinking porridge, heard her words and asked excitedly.
The woman glared at her son and said, "Drink your porridge. Don't talk to the adults and the children."
Kong Shangyun hurriedly lowered his head and drank the porridge from the bowl, but his eyes were secretly looking at the woman and Kong Yinfan.
