The two of them chatted for a while, one after the other, and then remained silent all the way to the house.

Mrs. Huang had prepared lunch and saw her daughter inviting Old Hutou back and starting to set the meal.

Huang, Pian He, Lao Hu Tou and Huai Ye sat down around the dining table. Pian He started to talk business with Lao Hu Tou and planned to chat while eating.

When Mrs. Huang heard that her daughter wanted to talk business with Old Hutou, she took Huaiye to the kitchen to eat. She was very annoyed today and had no intention of talking about business, nor did she want to listen to them talking about business.

Pianheng is following Huang. It's okay if she doesn't want to hear it. She will help Huang make arrangements.

"Grandpa, I plan to divide my business of fresh fish, fish oil and distiller's grain fish into ten shares. The second house will take six shares, and my grandfather and grandma will take four shares together. Do you think it's feasible?"

Pian He didn't want to discuss with Lao Hutou and decided on the shares directly, because he felt that Lao Hutou would not refuse her proposal, because the four shares she gave Lao Hutou was already very high, and he had no reason to refuse.

When Old Hutou heard this, he thought for a while, frowned and said: "Pianheng, my grandmother and I are old and don't need this. You can just pay me and your grandmother's wages, and divide my and your grandmother's four shares into two. Two shares are for the eldest family, two shares are for the third family, and the rest belong to the second family and are recorded in Huaiye’s name.”

The mountain belongs to the second room, and the money to build the house also comes from the second room. He is just contributing, and the second room should get the big share. Lao Hutou agrees with this very much.

Hearing what Lao Hutou said, Pian He knew that Lao Hutou was quite fair. He pretended to have the first and third bedrooms in his heart, but he did not take away the credit of the second bedroom, so she suggested: "Grandpa, how about this, Dashan and Liang One share for the third house, one share for the grandfather and grandmother, and six shares for the second house. These six shares are all recorded in my mother’s name, but my grandfather is not allowed to reveal the cave matter to Dashan and Third Aunt."

Lao Hutou picked up a chopstick of bitter melon and stir-fried meat, chewed it up, swallowed it, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, that's okay. From now on, my second wife won't have to spend money to honor me and your grandmother."

What he was thinking about was that when his younger son Hu Shoujia came back, he would give his share to his wife. The six shares of the second wife's wife would be recorded in the name of the second daughter-in-law, and they would also belong to Huaiye in the future. There was nothing wrong with this. Okay, just the two shares of Dafang. Do they really give you a mountain?

Hey, forget it, the one in Dashan is just a big house, there is no difference.

"Okay." Old Hutou nodded again.

After the matter was settled, Pian He got up neatly, went to the room to write a document, made two copies, signed it, took it out to Old Hutou to look at, and asked Old Hutou to put his fingerprints on it, and gave the agreed eighty-six taels of silver. It was also given to Lao Hutou, and it was up to Lao Hutou to create a worry-free life for Huang for a few years, allowing Huang to have time to grow up, and giving her time to develop her own power. That was enough. .

Old Hutou glanced at the big purse on the table, and felt very satisfied and satisfied. Although the family was divided, the people in the second house were all facing him. His status as the head of the family was still there, and the second daughter-in-law was also very filial. , is a family man, it doesn’t matter if he works more, it’s all for his future generations.

Lao Hutou is illiterate. When he saw Pian Huo's scrawled documents, he was a little embarrassed, even a little embarrassed. He felt that he was being compared to his granddaughter, who can make money and write, although her handwriting is not very good. , but much better than him.

"Pian He, my grandfather is illiterate. You wrote this, a letter from my grandfather." Pian He was so filial and always thought of him. She discussed everything with him. She recognized him as the head of the family and insisted on giving him a share with the old woman. Old Hutou I completely trust my granddaughter.

Pian He giggled, knowing that Lao Hutou was illiterate. The two shares of the eldest house were recorded in the name of Dashan, the six shares of the second house were placed in the name of the Huang family, and the share of the third house was recorded in the name of the Xiao Lu family. It was obvious that It was written down in black and white, and no one else could find fault with it. Even if Old Hu Tou could read, he couldn't say anything. He didn't object to her proposal just now.

Thinking about it, the reason why Lao Hutou agreed was that he felt that Huaiye was still young and incompetent, and Pianhen was a woman who would get married in the future. The name of the Huang family belonged to Huaiye. Who else could I give it to my only son, Huaiye?

Old Hutou happily pressed his fingerprints on the documents, collected one of the documents, took two more mouthfuls of rice, and said happily: "Pian He, you said that there will be a large courtyard outside a few courtyards. I'm afraid. The big yard is going to be expanded. The clan leader and the old village head have bought several pieces of land for their homes here. They plan to put their homes here. Several clan elders heard that the clan leader has set up their homes here, and they also said that they would build their homes nearby. They bought land to build a house, and they said their house couldn’t be enclosed outside the big yard.”

Now the matter has become serious. Such a large yard has been enclosed, and more than twenty families have been enclosed at once. There may be more families to join later. They are all of the same clan. He can't drive people out. This matter He made it look like he was going to lead everyone to build a grand mansion for aristocratic families.

Old Hutou was excited, but at the same time he was unsure. After all, he had never taken the lead in such a big thing before, but hey, since the tribe started working with him, they had made a lot of money from him. Money, he planned to follow him all the time, and it was hard for him to refuse, so he just wanted to take the lead and take care of the matter.

"Okay, grandpa, you can make up your mind on this matter. I support you." Pian Huo said to Lao Hutou with a smile.

After finishing the business, Pian He put aside his worries and listened to what Old Hu Tou said. What he cared about was not how many people were willing to settle their homes here, but that they were not frightened by the rumored incident about Lady Cai. What does this mean?

Firstly, it shows that there are benefits to be gained by gathering around Lao Hutou. Secondly, it shows that the Du clan members in Xiufeng Village are very xenophobic and reject new villagers. The new villagers would rather live at the back of the village where they know there is danger, so as to keep warm with the clansmen. I also don’t want to place my home in a crowded and safe village.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on which angle you look at it.

Pian He thought for a moment and then suggested: "Grandpa, since so many families want to build houses here, why not build a private school here?"

Old Hu Tou nodded after hearing this. He was also thinking about this problem. Pian Huan worked as a clerk in the rich man Hu's family for two years and could write. This made his grandfather feel ashamed. How could the children in the family be illiterate.

"We should give children the opportunity to read and learn, but instead of building private schools, we should build Hu's ancestral hall. After the Hu's ancestral hall is built, a special room will be set aside for children to read and read. Yesterday I just said it I mentioned this matter to the clan leader, and he agreed without even thinking about it, which surprised me. However, this matter is early on, and it may not be possible next year. Next year is the year when everyone will focus on building their own houses. Jianhu The matter of the clan’s ancestral hall will probably be discussed later in the year.”

Pian Huan nodded slightly after hearing this.

We really can't rush this matter, we have to do it step by step.
