Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

Ordinarily, there is also such a custom in rural areas, that is, after the elderly are old enough to completely lose their labor force and cannot live independently, most of them are taken care of by several sons in turn.

A few months in this family, a few months in that family, each son went to live in the house for a period of time, taking turns to take care of them.

But Xu Chenghou is only 65 years old after the new year, and Zhou Guilan is only 57 years old after the new year. It is still too early to live independently. Why is it that they will sell their house at this time and take care of their son?

Xu Shixian glanced at his daughter-in-law, thinking that this matter is not easy to handle.

It's okay to say that my mother has a good temper, but my father's temper is too weird. If I go to his house, can I do it?

Besides, there are only three small run-down houses in his house, and it is not very spacious for a family of five. Parents have passed, where do they live?

Among the five brothers, apart from the most spacious of the third, the second is Xu Shi'an. His house in Sentie is not small and quite spacious.

The other three houses are all small houses, and the population is too large to live in.

But you can't say that.

The brothers looked at each other, "Father, are you willing to give up such a spacious and big house at home? What a pity to sell it?

Otherwise, if our brothers give you some more pension funds, don't sell this house, right? "

Xu Shixian felt that he would rather give the family some more money than take his parents to live there, otherwise, there would be no peace in the days to come.

Xu Chenghou glanced at his sons and snorted, "I know, you guys don't have the intention to take us to the elderly."

The white-eyed wolves all dared not make a sound when they were told to let them retire in the old age, right?

Chapter 4 Selling the house

"I discussed it with your mother, and I don't intend to make things difficult for you."

Xu Chenghou sighed, he is his own son after all, what can he do?Who told them to have such a son?

"We told Lao San about this, and sold the house to Lao San for 2 yuan.

The third child spent money to buy a house, and temporarily returned it to us to live in. When we leave later, he can deal with the house as he likes.

Take a look, if you guys can afford the money, the house can be sold to you. "Xu Chenghou said that on purpose.

"We don't have any other intentions, we just want to keep some money in our hands, and use it as cross-river money.

In case something happens in the future, you are all embarrassed. "

When Xu Shixian and the others heard this, what else did they not understand?

Mom and Dad are thinking about relying on the third child to provide for the elderly in the future, and they are afraid that the third child will suffer, so they make arrangements in advance.

2 yuan is a huge sum of money for them, but it is just a drizzle for the third child. Others can't get it out, and the third child can easily do it.

The brothers were a little hesitant, not knowing how to express their views on this matter.

Ordinarily, this house is only worth a thousand dollars now, but who knows what will happen in the future?

However, no matter how much the house goes up, it is estimated that it will not be sold for 2 yuan, right?So, if you do this, the third child will definitely suffer.

"Father, Mom, since you both discussed it, we don't have any objections.

The third child is close, and the third child takes care of his parents every day, so the third child is at a disadvantage.

Those of us are far away and busy with work, and we don’t come back several times throughout the year, so we really can’t take care of them. "

Xu Shixian is the eldest son, so of course he has to speak first.

"If we really want my parents to move to our place, alas, the county is small and narrow.

I was afraid that my father would be breathless when he went over to see it. "Xu Shixian sighed.

The population in the county is small and the place is small, and the living conditions are far worse than those in the countryside.

If the Xu family's house was placed in the county, it would be absolutely amazing.

"Then do what your parents say?

Anyway, in the future, we have to give what we should give, and we can't say that our parents sold the house and have money in our hands, so we don't care, right? "

As long as they don't ask them to pay 2 yuan, and don't let the elderly move to their home, do whatever you like.

It is the third child who contributes money left and right, and the third child will also contribute in the future. They just give some living expenses every month and come back a few times a year to have a look.

After Xu Shide and Xu Shixiang thought about it, it was the same thing. It would be impossible for them to get the money, and it would be inconvenient for them to take their parents to live there.

What can I do?It's just a house, not to mention selling it for [-] yuan, even if it is [-] yuan, how much can each of the five brothers get?

Since the third child is willing, then he will pay for it, why would anyone want to rob him?

"Okay, then let's do it like this, do as our father said." The two also agreed.

Xu Shi'an has now learned a trick, that is, no matter what the time is, don't speak indiscriminately.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make, be honest and keep quiet, talk less and make fewer mistakes.

So he didn't say a word just now, the brothers said whatever they liked.

But now it was his turn to express his opinion, and he refused to say a few more words. "Father can do as he sees, I have no objection."

"Okay, fourth, I'll give you a pen and paper, and you can write.

Third child, go and call your neighbors over and let them be witnesses. Let's settle this matter first while we are all here. "

Xu Chenghou spoke and arranged work for his sons.

Xu Shiyan hurried out and found the two neighbors in Dongtou and Nanfang.

To the north is the martyr's tomb, and to the west is the road. Jiancan City will be demolished after the first day of the road, so there are actually only two neighbors.

Don't worry about the number of companies, as long as someone can bear witness.

Here, Xu Shide wrote the house sale contract, and Xu Chenghou, Xu Shiyan and his son wrote their names and fingerprints on it.

Then the neighbors also signed and pressed their fingerprints, and it was considered successful.

The housing sales contract is in duplicate, Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan each get one.

After writing the contract and thanking the neighbors, Xu Chenghou told them that they would invite them to drink to thank them another day.

The other party naturally wanted to be polite, and they bothered Xu's family a lot on weekdays, and they watched TV every night, so why should such a small matter be thanked?

It's time to catch up with Nian Gen'er, and they are all busy, and the neighbors didn't stay at Xu's house for long, so they left in a hurry.

When the neighbor left, Xu Chenghou asked Xu Shide to write another agreement, which was still for the elderly.

Regardless of whether there is this house or not, the brothers must fulfill their duty of support. The monthly money must not be less, and the food is too troublesome.

In the future, if the old couple suffers from some kind of illness or disaster, these few will have to be in the forefront.

Compared with the last agreement, there is only one house short, nothing else.

This time, there is no need to find anyone to be a witness. The father and son all signed their fingerprints on the agreement, and Xu Chenghou asked Zhou Guilan to put it away.

With such a delay, it will be too late.

In the afternoon, there was no bus back to the county, and the train to Xianrenqiao passed a little later.

What can I do?Even if Xu Shiyan's family has a car, one is that Xu Shiyan hasn't learned it yet, and the other is that the car can't handle so many people, so everyone can only stay here for one more night.

The next morning, Xu Shixian and Xu Shixiang's family were going to take the bus from Donggang to Fusong at 07:30 to go back to the county.

Xu Shide's family had to catch the [-]:[-] train.

The old couple Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan prepared a lot of things for their three sons.

Jujube steamed buns, sticky fire spoons, pork, etc., filled more than half of the woven bags, which was more than what they brought back.

Xu Chenghou also packed some cabbage, sauerkraut and so on for Xu Shixian alone.

There is no vegetable garden in the county seat, so you have to buy everything you eat. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to bring some back home?

"Take these things back home, add some more things, and the Chinese New Year will be almost done."

If you don't look at your sons and daughters-in-law, you have to look at your grandchildren. They finally come back, and they can't go back empty-handed.

It is rare for the children to live with their grandparents for such a long time, and they are reluctant to part with each other.

The three children, Xu Haiyang, Xu Jingyi, and Xu Jingwen, were crying and shouting and didn't want to leave, but wanted to stay with their grandparents.

"Do you want to stay with your grandparents? You obviously want to stay and watch TV.

Hurry up, it's Chinese New Year tomorrow, and I haven't prepared anything at home. "

Wu Qiuyan and Chen Chunling both had dark faces, dragging the child out.

"Otherwise, you can just let the kids live here for a while, they don't go to school anyway.

Put it aside, play with Yuanyuan and the others, and have a companion. "

Zhou Guilan couldn't bear to see her grandchildren crying so badly, so she interceded.

"During the Chinese New Year, my parents are also busy here, how can I have time to take care of them?

Besides, we may not be able to come back after the year, and no one will pick them up. "

Xu Shixian and the others came back from the 24th of the twelfth lunar month and lived there until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, which was quite a long time.

So I discussed with Xu Chenghou and his wife that we will not go back to the second day of the new year, and come back when we have time.

4 Chapter [-] Gala

Xu Haiyang and the others were finally dragged away by their parents, crying and shouting.

Seeing the backs of his children and grandchildren leaving, Xu Chenghou couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"What do you think it's okay for the child to stay? Are we not their grandpa and grandma? Can we still abuse the child?

Fifth daughter-in-law, isn't her natal family also in Donggang?

Even if she doesn't come back to us in the second year of junior high school, she won't return to her mother's house in the third year of junior high school?It's time to take the baby away. "

"On the fourth side, Hua'er is engaged on the sixth day of the new year, even if they don't come back to pick up the child, the third and third couple will be able to bring the child back when they return to the camp.

This one has to make the child cry, look at how the child is crying? "

The old man felt sorry for his grandchildren, so he couldn't help but toot.

"Hey, they are the parents of the child, what can we say?

It is said that the child does not kiss us, and every time he comes back, he will leave as quickly as if he picked up a fire. Can the child kiss us?

Didn't you hear Haiyang talking about his grandparents all day long?The Wu family is close, of course they are close. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Guilan was also full of dissatisfaction, but what's the use?

The son can't help his mother, after marrying a daughter-in-law, he has to listen to her daughter-in-law.

It's useless for the old couple to chatter, so they simply don't think about it, it's important to pack up and prepare for the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, Xu Shiyan still took his wife and children home to celebrate the New Year.

Compared with previous years, there was less Xu Shiqin at home, and Zhou Guilan had to say a few words during the reunion dinner at night.

"Or do you say that you have to raise a son? Anyway, the son is marrying a daughter-in-law to enter the house, adding more people to the family.

This girl is not good. After more than 20 years of raising her, she finally became a family member. "

"Okay, old woman, you, don't say anything, daughters and daughters are the same.

son?Raising a son depends on whether there is a good daughter-in-law. As for the five sons in our family, the one who comes back to accompany us for the New Year is not the third one?

Come on, don't talk about those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, come, come, eat vegetables.Haiqing, come, this fish is delicious. "

Xu Chenghou didn't like to mention that, if he had time to think about it, he might as well coax his grandson to eat more.

"Hurry up and eat, finish the rice in the bowl before you can watch TV.

I heard there is a gala this year?Let's make dumplings earlier in a while, and save time to watch the party. "

Compared with previous years, this year's New Year's Eve is even more exciting. The main reason is that the Xu family has a TV.

Ever since he learned that there will be a gala on New Year's Eve, Xu Chenghou has been looking forward to watching the gala on TV.

"I know, I know, don't worry, I've chopped the minced meat ahead of time, and I'll chop some vegetables and noodles after dinner.

You don't have to start making dumplings until six o'clock, and keep them so that you can watch the gala. "

It's not just Xu Chenghou who is thinking about it, Zhou Guilan is also thinking about it, so the preparations for making dumplings have been done early this year.
