After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

The sound of firecrackers on the fire sounds, and the Chinese New Year in Shanshui Village officially begins!

The mid-day New Year’s dinner is a dish of rabbit with ginger and two peppers. It is fresh, spicy and not numbing, and will whet your appetite. This is prepared for those with strong tastes who can tolerate spicy food.

The other dish is braised rabbit meat, which uses real ingredients and is prepared for children who can't eat spicy food. Of course, adults who can't eat spicy food can also eat it, just sit at the children's table.

The staple food is corn noodle steamed buns, which are fluffy and soft. They are paired with a large bowl of mutton bone stewed radish soup. The soup is rich. In the cold winter, a mouthful of soft steamed buns, a mouthful of warm lamb bone soup, and a big mouthful of rabbit meat are not to mention. How satisfying!

Meals for Zhao and Sun's family were delivered separately in advance by someone they had a good relationship with.

Fan Qian’s family was brought back by Fan Sizhu after they had the noon New Year’s dinner. His family had no rabbits, no eggs, and no manpower. However, Wang Guifen was a native of Shanshui Village after all, and she wanted to be harmonious during the New Year. , I still got a big bowl of braised rabbit meat, a small pot of lamb bone and radish soup, and a lot of corn noodle buns, so I'm sure I'll be full.

Forty men went out this year, and most of the Zhao, Sun, and Fan families were unable to go out, so there were about a hundred people missing. But in previous years, everyone stayed at home, but this year they got together.

About three hundred people gathered in front of the bookstore, and the room was packed inside and outside. The sound of firecrackers, chatting, eating, laughter... one after another reached Fan Qian's room.

Fan Dazhu and the three of them, who were lying on the bed dragging their broken legs and groaning, became more and more panicked as they listened.

"When will Si Zhu be back?" Fan Dazhu, who was twitching with hunger, gritted his teeth and asked.

Yesterday, he came back full of tofu rice and didn't bring them any food!

If he said one more thing, he would shut down the stall and threaten not to cook for them.

Fan Erzhu was also hungry, but he was more resentful towards his elder brother. He couldn't bear it anymore and complained: "Brother, can you stop getting stuck in food in the future?

Yesterday you said that we are Grandma’s golden grandchildren, so we must have a share of the tofu rice served at my second uncle’s house. What’s the result? I was so hungry that I didn’t have anything to eat until the afternoon!

Today is the Chinese New Year in the village. We have no rabbits and you can’t give them up. There are few eggs and you can’t bear to part with them. Let me tell you, if you don’t have anything to eat today, I’m not done with you! "

Fan Sanzhu's eyes wandered around, thinking of his father and crazy mother lying in the opposite room, and muttered: "If that doesn't work, let's separate our families."

My second uncle’s life became easier after the separation!

Maybe after the separation, his life will get better and better.

Fan Dazhu's eyes widened in disbelief, "Mom and dad are here, how can we divide the family?"

It's getting more and more embarrassing. This is because the second uncle has set a bad example. If the second uncle does not separate the family and surrounds his father wholeheartedly, then won't the same be true for his younger brothers and sisters?

But now that they are imitating each other, he, as the eldest brother, has lost his prestige.

"Mom and dad are here, but we don't have enough to eat, so what can we do?" Fan Sanzhu said nonchalantly.

Fan Erzhu's thoughts were also moved. Before, grandma was in control of the food. Finally, grandma was gone. Now, the eldest brother is in control of the food. Life is still difficult. It's better for everyone to live their own lives and eat what they want when the time comes. There are many days. comfortable,

"No, why do you only have so little food and so much land to plant? We can live together together. If we separate, let alone the fields and mountains. If you don't have a house, you won't have a place to live;

As for pots, pans, and farm tools, where do you have the money to buy them?

Okay, okay, brother knows that you have been hungry for the past two days. Brother promises that he will bring out food every day. You will not be hungry anymore. "Fan Dazhu comforted him angrily.

Erzhu and Sanzhu didn't say anything anymore, but their thoughts were already alive.

What the eldest brother meant in his words was that if the family was separated, they wouldn't even think about the house, and they wouldn't have any share of the pots and pans.

When dad and second uncle separated, they believed in their hearts that the house must belong to dad and to them!

Only now do I realize how stupid I was back then. Really, it belonged to my father, but it was not necessarily theirs. Just like the eldest brother now believed from the bottom of his heart that the house should be his, and he was in the position of the second uncle.

The eldest brother is right, where will they live if there is no house after the separation? You can get a lot of money to build a house made of bricks and tiles. Where can they get the money?

When Si Zhu brought back the New Year's meal, Er and San Zhu had something on their mind, but they didn't even feel it was very sweet when they tasted it.

Seeing the elder brother who was desperately stuffing rabbit meat into his mouth, he almost choked several times, and even choked later. He stretched his neck and poured mutton bone soup into his mouth. Half of the food was almost gone in the blink of an eye.

The two of them became anxious and began to scramble for food in a panic.

At the same time, I made up my mind that I can’t let my eldest brother get the whole house by himself! They must have their share!

Shuiqing was sitting at the children's table.

The children in the village started enlightenment last month. Although they don't know many words, they have learned a lot of etiquette.

The first item is to respect the elders - Shuiqing is that elder.

He gave her the main seat and rushed to add rice and soup to her, waiting for her to move her chopsticks first before they followed suit.

Shui Qing was a little bit dumbfounded. She sat at the children's table just to hide from herself. She didn't expect to be treated with such respectful treatment, but I have to say that polite children are really great!

After finishing the meal leisurely and happily, Shui Qing realized that Fan Jin next to him had been waiting for a long time.

"what happened?"

"Old village chief and the others have something to discuss with you and have been waiting for you." Fan Jin reminded gently and motioned Shui Qing to look at the table over there in the study room.

Shui Qing stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the old village chief and his party.

After the noon New Year's dinner, the personnel were arranged in advance, such as clearing the table, washing dishes and chopsticks, and cleaning the floor.

The children helped deliver the dishes and then went to play happily. The men and women gathered together to chat after eating and drinking.

Shui Qing, the old village chief Wang, Mr. Fan Qiye, Aunt Li Aunt Zhang and others gathered around a fire alone for a meeting.

These are the people who are the masters of each household in the village, and the matters discussed are naturally the core matters of the village.

"Today is the third day after sending people to Sihui. I originally estimated that I would be back in seven or eight days, but I underestimated it. After all, how many people are working from the New Year to the third day of the first lunar month?

Even if the governor comes forward, his subordinates will have to go out after the New Year and the third day of the Lunar New Year. "The old village chief said with a frown.

From the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, we have to worship our ancestors. This is the most important event of the year. Men will not go out easily. People in their villages have to go out because their lives are at stake, but those government officials have always lived their lives as a superior person. Days, and their lives were not at stake, so how could they travel long distances to arrest people during the New Year?

Not only is it hard work, it is also dangerous and bloody.
