Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

271.

Furthermore, this house was built by the eldest brother for his parents. They will definitely not move out. Whoever lives with his parents will be able to live in this new house forever?

The two brothers who were separated had to find a place to live on their own. Is a house so easy to build?

An ordinary brick house with the smallest size costs more than 150 yuan. Even if bricks and tiles are not used and adobe or wheat straw is used, the wood cannot be saved, and it still costs more than 80 yuan.

In short, building a house in the countryside is a big deal, and it is the top priority for a family. Many families have more than ten people, and it takes more than ten years to save a new house with half a room.

Every year I save adobe, wood, stone, and grain, just like swallows building a nest, to save enough materials. Then I can pick a hot day during the off-season and find a few men from my family to build it in a few days.

It is easy to build a house, but difficult to collect materials.

So it's very troublesome to separate them.

The best idea from my parents is that the eldest brother can contribute 200 yuan to help the two younger brothers build two houses, so that it will be much easier to separate the family.

They hoped that Gu Yunshan would take the initiative to speak, so after he arrived, they only talked about the difficulties at home and how they were doing.

Gu Baoshan was like a normal person, crossing his legs. It would be a good idea to separate the families. If the third and fourth sons were separated, then he would be the only son in the house. How relaxing it would be. He could have room for several more sons.

In the future, when my son grows up, he will have a place to live with his wife.

The three main rooms in the courtyard are made of bricks and tiles. The old couple and Gu Yulian live in the east, and Gu Baoshan and his family live in the west. There is no east wing, but there are three adobe and wheat straw-roofed west wings for the third and fourth children.

There are also two adobe south rooms for storing grass and farm tools, and a pigsty for raising pigs and chickens.

After the third and fourth children were separated, he let the children live in the west wing, which was just right.

Gu Liangshan didn't want to take advantage of his eldest brother's family. What he wanted was to separate the family first and not leave home. They could live in their own houses for the time being, earn work and share rations, and cook and live by themselves.

The main room in the middle of the west wing has a stove itself, but there is no pot. You can cook by yourself with the pot.

Each of them can buy two more tanks for storing grain. One water tank is enough for him and his third brother.

There is nothing else to distinguish.

He simply said it. Gu Yinshan didn't say anything, but Gu Baoshan disagreed, "Why do you still live here when the families are separated? If the families are separated, they will be separated."

Gu Yinshan: "Before, we all worked together, and the work points and money we earned were all shared. If we wanted to separate, we would have to build a house for the public."

Gu Baoshan's eyes shot up: "Dream!"

Gu Yinshan stopped talking.

Old man Gu kept having bags under his eyes and said nothing. Old woman Gu looked at her sons and found that they were not happy to see the third and fourth sons. She was not happy either, thinking that her sons were ignorant.

She raised her head several times, but the third and fourth elders didn't respond. Mrs. Gu felt uncomfortable and began to wipe her tears.

She knew that the two sons had resentments in their hearts, and they were blaming her. If she always favored the second child, the two sons might be as alienated from her as the eldest son, and would not want to be filial and support her.

She started sobbing, like a chicken whose throat was pinched, and squealed, "You little girls are not married yet."

Gu Yulian: "Brother, how do you divide it?"

Gu Yunshan: "Since the distribution is naturally more fair, the family will use the money to build two houses."

Mrs. Gu immediately said: "Boss, if you say this, how can your family have any money?"

Gu Yunshan: "If you don't have money, then you can separate and stay home. I can use the money to buy a pot, live here first, save enough adobe and wood, and then move out after building a house."

Old Mrs. Gu looked at him, continued to wipe her tears, and then sighed.

They were all waiting for Gu Yunshan to take the money to build a house for his brothers, but Gu Yunshan obviously had no such plan.

In the past, Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu would have confidently asked their eldest son to pay for building a house, but now that Gu Yunshan has shown off with them, they have no shame to open their mouths.

In the end, the only option was to separate the family without leaving home, because Mrs. Gu was reluctant to take money out.

So this time when the family was separated, we took out the food rations at home and divided them up. How much was the total, how many people, how many children were there in total? We weighed it out and put it away by ourselves.

The rations are large, and the rest are kitchen utensils and cutlery. The dishes and chopsticks at home are divided equally. There are not enough kitchen knives and iron pots, so the family has to spend money to buy two and then share them.

However, iron pots are not bought casually. You need to have a ticket. Fortunately, if you separate your household, you can ask the brigade to issue a letter of introduction. If you are an independent household, you can buy some daily necessities, such as a pot, two kitchen knives, and a spatula. This kind of iron must Tickets and letters of introduction are required, so you can't buy them casually. You can buy other earthenware jars, basins, pickle jars, etc. just casually.

Mrs. Gu's flesh hurts so much. A big iron pot costs 12 yuan! She refused to buy a large iron pot and wanted to buy a small one for 8 yuan, which cost 16 yuan for two pots.

Just one kitchen knife and spatula per household is enough, but more is impossible.

Other furniture and bedding are for each room.

Wang Lanxiang had been staying behind her man, and now she couldn't help but said: "Then, how do you distinguish between pigs and chickens?"

Liu Xiaoxia: "You are quite good at calculating. Pigs are task pigs. How do you divide them?"

Although since the beginning of the movement, capitalism has been cut off from the tail and side businesses are not allowed, the raising of pigs alone is not prohibited. On the contrary, the superiors strongly encourage it and have issued many pig raising policies.

After all, in addition to supplying urban residents with consumption, pork is also responsible for exporting to Japan and South Korea to generate foreign exchange.

Pigs raised in the countryside can be sold to the public as long as they weigh over 120 kilograms. There are usually purchasing stations in the communes. During the Chinese New Year, the commune slaughtering points will also drive down to collect the pigs collectively.

After selling to the public, you can be rewarded with feed stamps, grain, cloth stamps, etc. If the pigs exceed 120 kilograms, the rewards will be even more.

These days, it’s not a matter of which family raises pigs or not. The problem is that the space at home is not big enough, the private land is small, there is little coarse grain, and there is no feed. A family can raise three pigs, which is considered good, and most of them keep one.

There are two raised here.

In summer and autumn, you can hunt pig grass and feed your own vegetables to the pigs. In winter, if there are no vegetables and grass, you have to feed them whole grains, mainly sweet potato leaves, sweet potato vines, etc.

At this time, there were actually not many restrictions on raising chickens in the countryside. It was said that one chicken was required for two people. In fact, there were more than ten people in a family, and no one would care about raising more than ten chickens. The key was whether they could afford to raise them.

Is the chicken coop big enough and is there enough food to eat?

It's okay in summer and autumn, as chickens can eat by themselves, but in winter they have to be fed with grain. Without grain, chickens won't lay eggs and will become thinner.

Therefore, many people raise a few more in the summer. In the winter, they can sell some of them and kill some for their own meat.

The old Gu family originally raised 12 chickens, both male and female. Old man Gu had one on his birthday, old woman Gu had one on her birthday, and one on other days. Now there are eight.

There are so many chickens and pigs that it is impossible not to distinguish them.

Wang Lanxiang disagreed, and neither did Gu Yinshan and Gu Liangshan.
