Chapter 10 10. Change
Author: Yu Yu doesn’t eat fish
Su Yao didn't have to wait too long for the separation of the family.
That day, because of Su Yao's words, the family broke up unhappy.
It started to rain lightly the next day.
Unable to go to the fields to harvest autumn, Yan Fusheng invited the clan leader to his home to preside over the family division.
Except for Yan Shoucheng, who had no time to come back, everyone in the Yan family gathered in the yard on time.
After the clan leader and several clan elders sat down, the separation of the clan began.
The patriarch cleared his throat and started with an old voice: "In the blink of an eye, the children have grown so big. There are now grandchildren and more people. It is a good thing to separate the family. Today I will take inventory of the old man's things in the family.
We will count the items and divide them equally among each family. Wenqing will be responsible for the registration. When the time comes, he will take his fingerprints and the family will be divided."
"I understand," the Yan family responded.
Yan Fusheng sighed and put the real estate certificate on the table: "This is the real estate certificate of the current house. This house was built together seven years ago. It has five main rooms and three side rooms. There are four in the family.
The incompetent son has a main room each, and we, the elder couple, live in one room. One of the three side rooms is reserved as a kitchen, and the remaining two rooms are for the eldest and fourth children."
"What I mean is that the house should be settled according to the current living situation, and it will save money on moving."
The clan leader did not make a decision directly, but asked other people's opinions.
Yan Jiancheng and Yan Hecheng had no objections. Yan Mingcheng and his wife discussed for a while and then stood up: "I have a little problem. The eldest brother and the fourth brother have children at home, and they occupy an extra side room. The second brother and I got married late and have children.
It's also a matter of time, we only have one main room, where will the child live then?"
In order to be able to do what he wanted, Yan Mingcheng also roped in Su Yao: "Second sister-in-law, second brother is not at home, so it is up to you to decide on the affairs of the second room. We also have to think more about our future life, don't we?"
Su Yao didn't say anything, but Wang Hongying quickly stood up and comforted Yan Mingcheng: "Yao'er, you have a child, and my mother will take care of it for you, and the child will live with her."
Seeing this, Su Yao asked Wang Hongying: "Mom, we are all sons. If you take care of the children for the Mingcheng family, do you want to take care of our children too?"
Wang Hongying didn't even think about it and refused directly: "You are a person who wants to separate the family. Even if you think about it, you don't like me taking care of the children. I am too old. It is very tiring to take care of a child. You should find your mother's family to take care of your children."
Bar."
Wang Hongying's completely different attitude made Yan Fusheng blush on the spot, and the patriarch also had an angry look on his face: "We are all our own children, and the palms and backs of our hands are all flesh. If you do this, you are not afraid of hurting the second brother's heart."
?”
Yan Fusheng quickly came up with a compromise idea: "The second brother's family, I'll give you some grievances when it comes to taking care of the children, and I'll give you a little more for the rest, okay?"
Before Su Yao spoke, Zhuang Xiaoli couldn't sit still: "Dad, my mother didn't even take care of our two children for a day at that time. Can we share more with our family?"
When it comes to your own interests, it's hard for others to speak.
Yan Fusheng stopped Wang Hongying who was about to curse with a look, and said his decision: "Let's do this, no one will suffer. We still have an old house at home, and we, the old couple, will move into the old house. The main room and the kitchen will be used as a house.
Let your two families decide how to divide the side house."
Yan Hecheng was Yan Fusheng's good son. When he heard this, he said: "Dad, that house has been there for decades. It was because we could no longer live in it that we built this house now. If this is a matter of family separation,
After I have wronged you two, are we still worthy of being sons?"
"Second sister-in-law, Mingcheng, you two don't have to think that your parents are partial. When the autumn harvest is over today, we will build two side rooms again. By then, one family will have one, and there will be no need to fight."
Yan Hecheng's words made everyone else freeze in their seats. Their faces did not change. Only they knew whether they were angry or not.
Su Yao breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Since the family has been separated today, it is better for everyone to be more clear about things in the future. We will build two more side houses with our own efforts. Then we will have to worry about who will live in the new house and who will live in the new house."
It’s even more unsightly to live in an old house and cause trouble.”
"If I take a step back and don't want the main house in our family, how about giving us the old house? The old house is old, so giving it to me doesn't count as taking advantage."
Su Yao's sensible attitude made Yan Fusheng look better, and the clan leader also looked at him with satisfaction.
The others remained silent, and the matter was settled.
After dividing the house, Yan Fusheng also took out other things and distributed them one by one.
Things currently used by each family still belong to each family, and things belonging to the commonwealth are distributed on a per-capita basis.
By the time everything was settled, the yard was already filled.
Next to Su Yao, there was a sickle, an iron pot, three bowls, and some scattered objects. They were not many in number, but they were all useful things.
Su Yao had no objection, pressed his fingerprint without hesitation, and took his things back to the house to pack.
But the others were still arguing. When Su Yao went out again, the fingerprints had not been pressed.
Su Yao used five kilograms of grain and borrowed a neighbor's flatbed truck. After moving all his things on it, he left a room full of people to argue and went to the old house.
Su Yao also heard about the old house of the Yan family for the first time today.
When I arrived at the door, I saw the dilapidated courtyard wall and waist-high weeds. I couldn't help but hold my forehead, wondering if I had just had a brain twitch before I "stepped forward."
With a sigh, Su Yao picked up a stick and beat the weeds on the road to the courtyard. After making sure there was no danger in the grass, he moved the things into the house.
Although the house was a few years old and empty, it still had all the basic things. Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief and put everything in the house before returning the flatbed cart.
When I returned home, the Yan family had dispersed, and every household in the village had lit fires.
Su Yao smelled the fragrance all the way back to his house and tidied up the house resignedly.
I used the broken broom left in the old house to sweep the dust on the kang, put the mattress on it, and now had a place to sleep.
Looking at the stove again, Su Yao felt optimistic. The inside of the stove had collapsed, making it impossible to light a fire for cooking.
Su Yao slipped into the space, placed the food he had received, and then organized a housewarming party for himself.
Warm corn tortillas, shredded potatoes, and radish strips pickled a few days ago, it's a satisfying meal.
Su Yao, who had eaten and drank enough, fell asleep contentedly in the space, but he didn't know that other people's homes were talking about him.
Su Yao's behavior today made many people in the village change their minds, and this also made her situation in the village better.
