Farming. Farmhouse Daily

The next day, Yang Sheng got up before dawn.It's June now, and the sun is long. After getting up early in the morning to beat back the pigweed, I went out to cut more than a dozen bundles of grass for the pigsty, and the sun hasn't risen yet.After returning home, Yang Sheng washed his hands and face. When he walked towards the kitchen, he saw Yang Liniang who just got up and yawned. Even if you marry into a good family, you will be divorced sooner or later.

"Second brother, did you bring me home melons today?" Yang Liniang yawned, not forgetting her greedy mouth. Thinking of the delicious and sweet melons, she woke up more than half of her sleepiness, and hurried forward I'm about to close up.

"No." In the past, every time Yang Sheng brought back the soil melons that basically entered Yang Liniang's stomach, this time Yang Sheng also brought back, but this time he was not going to give it to Yang Liniang. I planted the soil melon before I got home, and I will just give it to his mother in a while.

"Really, I went out and went up the mountain. I don't know how to spend some time to find something to come back. I haven't eaten for several days." Yang Sheng said no, and Yang Liniang really believed it, because every time in the past, Yang Sheng He honestly gave her more than half of it. Since he said he didn't have it, he probably didn't have it.Yang Sheng didn't have what he wanted, so Yang Liniang turned and left. It was time to eat after washing her face.

"Mother, is breakfast ready?" After arriving at the kitchen, Yang Sheng quickly took out the earthen melon from his pocket and asked his mother to eat it quickly.

"You child, why do you bring it back? Auntie is already dozens of years old. No matter how rare this thing is, I have eaten a lot when I was a child. You haven't eaten a few yourself." The food was stuffed back into his son's hand, and Yang Sheng was willing to take it. In the end, Aunt Yang had no choice but to share it with her son.

This soil melon tastes very good. Some soil melons with a big head look red, and you don’t need to peel them after washing them. You can eat them directly after removing the head and tail. The taste is even better than summer watermelons. Because soil melon has a fragrance besides sweetness.Although soil melons are delicious, it is difficult to find them. The big and red soil melons usually grow in the soil with only a little bit exposed.Because the soil melon will become soft when it is ripe, it is time-consuming to slowly pry the surrounding soil open to take it out.Of course, there are earth melons on the surface of some land, but the ones on the surface are not big enough, and the taste is not sweet enough.The soil melons that Yang Sheng found are quite big, and they are also red and white in color, just looking at them makes people want to drool.

"Son, what a waste of time looking for this thing, don't look for it specifically in the future, if you come back late, your aunt will talk about you again."

"Aniang, don't worry about it. It won't take much time. You see, I come back on time every day, right?" Yang Sheng himself didn't waste time digging the soil slowly in the dry fields. You are usually on the ridge of the field Or look for them by the ditches. The soil melons in those places are big, tasty and easy to find.

After the two of them ate the potatoes for a while, the uncle's family began to shout whether breakfast was ready.It is June now, and there is not much work in the field. It is nothing more than weeding and weeding for the farmers. These simple tasks, the family members usually wait until the afternoon is cool to do it. In the morning, Yang Sheng mows the grass. Aunt gave birth to cooking, and the rest of the family slept until early in the morning before getting up.

When Mr. Yang went to bed the night before, he had already thought about it. He talked to his family about the separation during dinner this morning, and they would not object to it.

After the whole family came to the table, Yang Sheng didn't open his mouth right away. He didn't open his mouth until the meal was almost finished. Mother mentioned it, and when his mother heard him mention it, although she was a little surprised, she didn't look disgusted, and she agreed.

"Grandfather, I know that my family must marry me into Wan's family, but I think we should divide the family before I go out."

As soon as Yang Sheng said this, the two elders immediately objected, only the uncle's family remained silent. Yang Sheng knew that the uncle's family was probably as he thought, and did not want to support his mother for nothing in the future.

"Second boy, what are you talking about? You are about to leave the house soon. If the family is separated, how will you let your mother live? Isn't he going to live alone with her husband's woman's house? Isn't it a source of gossip! "Although Mrs. Yang is partial to her eldest son, she can't let outsiders see their family's jokes, and she can't do things too much.

"Mother, what are you talking about? Since the nephew and siblings want to separate, let's let them go." Yang Da's mother-in-law is called Li Taohua. After her father left, she always felt that her man was raising the big and the young, so she liked to order Yang Sheng, mother and son to do all the big and small things in the family, and her own son and daughter were like young masters and young ladies. , did not do any farm work.

"Grandpa, although our big brother has a rule that a married brother does not provide for his natal family, my aunt only has one son, and even if I get married, I can't really ignore her. Although I can't make my aunt rich Dagui, but I will definitely not let my mother go hungry. My father has been away for so many years, and the uncle’s family has taken care of our mother and child enough. I will not be able to help the family in the future and it will not be good for the family to raise for nothing. My mother, so I think this family should be divided." Yang Sheng's mother is not in good health, so she can't do heavy work, and because of this, the uncle has always shown his mother.Yang Sheng thought that if he wasn't around in the future, his mother might have to suffer, so it's better to separate the family. After the family is separated, each has his own life, so he doesn't have to look at people's faces.As for what he said, it was just to make them agree more readily. He didn't think it was true how the uncle's family had taken care of them these years and took advantage of them.All the embroidery made by his mother, the herbs he picked, and the money sold all went into the pockets of the uncle's family, and nothing was left for them.

The uncle's family is not stupid, so they naturally knew that the division of the family would only benefit them, so they agreed very simply.The two old men who hesitated agreed after a few coaxing words from their grandson.

Yang Da is the eldest son in the family, and he will support two elderly people in the future, so he naturally wants to get the most of the family property.The Yang family can be regarded as a well-off family in the Yang family village. There are three large tile-roofed houses of green bricks in the house, which are divided into the main house and the side room and the utility room.The main house has a main hall, four wing rooms, and the stove room is built separately, but the meals at home are all cooked by Yang Aniang these years, so the small kitchen in the side room has been used all the time, and the formally built kitchen has never been used. .Compared with the main room, the side room has two less wing rooms, and the main room is also much smaller than the main room.The utility room is full of things like food and farm tools, and there are also two.

The division of houses is of course needless to say, Yang Da has the main house, Yang Sheng and his aunt have side rooms, and the two utility rooms are one for the whole family.As for food and agricultural tools, they are not distributed according to the number of houses, but according to the population. Since there are only two of Yang Sheng and the others, the distribution is naturally small.

After the things in the house are divided, it is the field.The Yang family has a total of ten acres of good paddy fields, a little less than a dozen acres, and the rest is nearly twenty acres of dry land.When the things in the house were divided before, the uncle's family was not doing well. When it was time to divide the fields, the uncle's eyes were almost green. If the fields were also divided in the same way as the things in the family, it would be a disaster!

"Father, this field can't be divided equally according to the family's things. There are only two people in the second room. How much food can they eat? We have a big family here!" The aunt couldn't help but express her thoughts After that, the uncle's family couldn't bear it anymore, and everyone felt that what was said was right.

From the very beginning, Yang Sheng never thought that they could divide the land evenly, but if he got less from the beginning, he would get even less!

"Auntie, that's not what I said. You take most of the things in the house. This field can't continue like this. I know that grandpa and grandma will depend on uncle for the elderly in the future, so I don't want to worry too much. Ten acres of paddy fields are half of one house, and the rest of the second-class fields are the same. As for the dry land, ten acres is enough, but you know my mother's health. us."

As soon as Yang Sheng finished speaking, the uncle's family looked at him like a lunatic, thinking that he was crazy, so they said that.What is the difference between what he wants and an equal share!

"It's really a dog that can bite and don't bark! I usually see you are quiet, but I didn't expect you to be calculating. You have a good idea and want to go, but I don't agree!" Li Taohua really didn't Thinking that Yang Sheng dared to mention that!

"Uncle, I can't do anything about it. My mother is not in good health, so I hope to share more land and collect more rent. Besides, it's okay if I don't. I will work at home to support my mother. The Wan family’s 300 taels of silver, you big family, you can figure out your own way.”

"You dare! Marriage is an important matter, but it is the order of your parents! Your father is gone, and I am your only elder, and your grandfather is still here! Do you dare not marry if you are asked to marry?" Yang Dayi heard the 300 taels Yin Zi, the whole person is blown up, that is his heart disease, he wants to pay that bill quickly now, otherwise he will worry about it all day, and his life will be shortened.

"I'm a living person. If I don't want to, I don't know if I can live to reach the Wanjia." Yang Sheng also risked it all. Anyway, he didn't eat a meal for nothing in the past 20 years, and he wanted to separate. No matter how I say it, I have to fight for something more for A Niang.No one can predict the days to come, if he can't live in the future, his mother can live on the little things that are allotted now.

"you you..."

Seeing the expressions of the family staring at him, eager to swallow him alive, Yang Sheng took the initiative to give in a little, saying that their house on dry land would be five acres, and after that he seemed not to give in at all.

"One house in a paddy field is half impossible. At most, I will give you the five mu of paddy field at the entrance of the village."

"Okay! Now let's ask the village chief to write the paperwork." Yang Sheng was actually waiting for this sentence. He got the good five-acre paddy field and the vegetable field, and his mother would not say anything. Will be hungry.The paddy field at the entrance of the village is the best paddy field of Yang's family, and the millet produced every year is beyond the reach of other places. In fact, Yang Sheng didn't want those inferior fields at all, and the millet produced by the five mu of land was enough for his mother's rations for a year.
