Husband and Father Youwei

After Tu Lin finished speaking his thoughts, Ruan Tang fell silent, because he knew that what Tu Lin said was right.Having lived in the village for five years, and having personally experienced the farce in the morning, he understands how the villagers treat them very well, and it is impossible for them to please the Li family and take the initiative to make friends with the villagers. Leaving Lijiagou is the only way out.

"Then where to move?" Ruan Tang asked.

Tu Lin frowned, thought for a while, and said, "General villages certainly don't easily accept outsiders, especially someone like me who doesn't have a good reputation. I think I'll rent or buy a house in the county for now. , Let’s see if we can transfer the household registration to the county seat.”

Since he doesn't plan to live in the village, he can't keep his household registration here anymore, so as not to be controlled by others in the future and have no clear relationship with Lijiagou.

Ruan Tang looked a little thoughtful, but he didn't say anything, nodded, and agreed with Tu Lin's meaning, but asked again: "What about the charcoal?"

The county town is not like a village where you can cut wood and burn charcoal at any time, and they have signed a contract with the Zhou family.

Tu Lin had obviously thought about this, and said: "Just burn it in the county town, find a house with a larger yard, and dig a charcoal kiln in the yard. In addition, the wood for charcoal burning will be directly collected by someone, although it will increase the cost. , but it can also save a lot of trouble, there are Zhou’s family on the left and right, and the charcoal will not be sold.”

Seeing that Tu Lin had already considered everything, Ruan Tang also felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so the matter of moving to the county was settled.After Tu An put the money out of the house, Tu Lin also told him about it.

Tu Lin also said to Tu An: "...When we go back to live in the county, dad will send Xiao An to school, okay?"

Although Shuang'er was raised like a girl in this world, and married and had children more often after she grew up, Shuang'er was not a girl after all, she was brought up like a boy, and she was naturally allowed to study.

Ruan Tang on the side heard Tu Lin's words, but said, "Go to school? Xiao An is only five years old, isn't it too early?"

"Is it early?" Tu Lin looked at Ruan Tang suspiciously. He remembered that Tu Wendong and Tu Yu were both enlightened when they were about four years old. Compared with them, Tu An was already a year behind.

"Father, are we going to move? What is going to school?" Tu An, who was at the side, tugged at the corner of Tu Lin's clothes, and asked a little confused.

"Yeah, we're going to move, to live in the county town." Tu Lin rubbed his head, then leaned down and explained to him: "As for going to school, it's going to the school, with many other children Let's sit together in a big room and read and write together, there is a school in the county town, does Xiao An want to go?"

"Is it like the second uncle and brother?" Tu An raised his head and asked again, but there was already a little yearning in his eyes.

Tu An hadn't heard of "going to school" before, so he didn't understand what it meant, but he knew "reading and reading". He remembered that his second uncle and elder brother were both able to read and write, especially his elder brother Tu Yu, who was special. Great, my aunt and uncle Ruan have praised it many times.

Tu Lin paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and said to Tu An, "Yes, just like Second Uncle and Brother."

Tu An's eyes lit up, a big smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly, "Then I'm going, I want to be as good as my brother."

Ruan Tang originally wanted to persuade Tu Lin that he would send him to school after two years when Tu An was older, but seeing Tu An's eager yearning appearance at this time, he couldn't help swallowing the words that came to his lips, and his heart was even more so. With some guilt.

He didn't realize at all that Tu An was envious of Tu Yu's ability to read and write. If he had known this earlier, although he couldn't send Tu An to school, he had attended private schools for a few years when he was a child, so he could teach Tu An Knowing a few words is also good.

Fortunately, it's not too late now, and it's better for Tu An to go to school to study than to learn by himself.It would be even better if I could make a few friends and stop being alone.In this way, the matter of Tu An's study was settled in this way, and Tu An also accepted the matter of moving quickly without asking any more questions, which made Tu Lin feel a little relieved.

My own brother and I are not the same father, but my own mother and second uncle. Even an adult may not be able to accept such a thing, not to mention that Tu An is only a five-year-old child now, so After discussing with Ruan Tang, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang planned to keep it a secret for the time being, and tell Tu An later when he grew up.

Fortunately, Tu An lived with Ruan Tang and him in the old house since he was a child, and because the Tu family felt that his fate was too harsh to control his relatives, they would not be close to him, so although Tu An did not hate the Tu family, but he loved the Tu family. But he also had no affection, now that Tu Lin said he was going to move, he didn't feel any reluctance, which saved Tu Lin a lot of tongue.

Another two days passed quickly, and nothing happened in the old house during these two days.And not long after breakfast on the third day when Tu Lin and the others returned from the county seat, Tu Wenqiang suddenly came to the old house, but it was Tu Fu who asked him to call Tu Lin back to discuss the separation of the family.

Tu Lin had been waiting for a long time, so he didn't delay any longer, and together with Ruan Tang, he also took Tu An with him, and went to the village with Tu Wenqiang.On the way, Tu Wenqiang called his elder brother very affectionately, and Tu Lin treated him fairly mildly.

Although Tu Wenqiang is a glib, lazy and lazy person, he has never done any real bad things. Although he didn't pay much attention to his elder brother in the past, he never plotted to insult him. Rather, it doesn't seem so annoying.

Talking and walking all the way, we soon arrived at Tu's house.At this time, many people were already sitting in the main room. Among the female family members of the Tu family, Li was the only one. Tu Wenqiang's daughter-in-law, Song Shi, and Tu Xinyue were busy in the kitchen. Besides, Tu Fu was naturally there, beside him. There is also a wooden box on the table.Because there was still the matter of Tu Yu's adoption, Tu Wendong was also there. Three days later, he had recovered a lot and was barely able to move.

What surprised Tu Lin was that when Tu Wendong saw him appear, not only did he not have the expression of fear or resentment that he expected, but his eyes lit up, and he called himself 'Big Brother' very affectionately. It made him a little confused.

In addition to Tu's family members, there are two old men in the main room, who should be invited by Father Tu to be witnesses.One of them, Tu Lin, did know him, but he was an elder in the Li clan. According to his seniority, Tu Lin should be called Tang Shu, and the other Tu Lin had never met.Under Tu Fu's introduction, he realized that this person was Li Zheng, surnamed Wang, who was in charge of Lijiagou.

Tu Lin stepped forward and called people one by one, but it was obvious that although Wang Lizheng was a stranger, he treated Tu Lin very kindly, and even greeted Tu Lin a few words, while the elder of the Li family had a cold expression on his face. He hummed, and said no more.

Tu Lin didn't have the habit of putting a hot face on a cold butt, so he didn't pay any more attention to this man, and then looked at Father Tu.Although he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was very clear, so Father Tu could start to separate the family.

But Father Tu frowned, and he only smoked the dry cigarette, with an obvious look of distress and irritability on his face. Seeing this, Tu Lin raised his eyebrows indistinctly, maybe he wanted to go back on his word ?It's a pity that even if Father Tu is unwilling to separate the family, Mrs. Li will force him to separate the family for Tu Wendong's sake.

Sure enough, seeing that Tu Fu had been silent for a long time, and Tu Lin was not in a hurry, Mrs. Li couldn't wait any longer. She pushed Tu Fu and urged, "What are you still dawdling about? You can't bear to part with your good son, you That good son has nothing to miss you, hurry up."

Mrs. Li's words were almost saying that Tu Lin was unfilial, and he was in front of outsiders again, but Tu Lin didn't make much excuses for himself, and soon there were two families on the left and right, so when Tu's father looked over, he Although he didn't speak, he looked back as if by default.

Father Tu could see the determination in Tu Lin's eyes. Although he didn't want to, he knew in his heart that there was no room for change. His son couldn't be kept anymore, so he could only sigh, put down the cigarette stick, and took Feeling powerless and discouraged, he said, "Let's share."

Then Father Tu sorted out all the property in the family. The Tu family now has two new and old houses, and a total of [-] acres of land, including [-] acres of paddy fields, [-] acres of mulberry fields, and [-] acres of forest land. The family's livestock includes cattle. One, two fat pigs, four piglets, six chickens and six ducks each, and then there are furniture, pots and pans, farming utensils, etc., as well as food and money.

Because Tu Lin and the others had lived in the old house for a long time, and Tu Lin had no intention of moving back to Tu's house, so the old house and its contents were given to Tu Lin.Because Tu Lin and the others were three brothers in total, and the father and the old couple were still there, the land in the family was divided into four, and Tu Lin took one of them.Because it is not easy to divide evenly, so after a compromise, four mu of paddy fields, three mu of mulberry fields, and one mu of forest land were allocated to Tulin.

The livestock in the family is also distributed in the same way. Since there is only one yellow cow and it cannot be divided equally, Tu Lin and the others are given a whole pig as compensation, and another piglet, two chickens, and one duck are distributed.The rest of the pots and pans and other utensils were enough for Tu Lin and the others, a set of farm tools was also distributed to them, and finally food and money.

Among them, the Tu family's food had just enough food for next year's harvest, so they divided the rations of Tu Lin and the three of them and asked them to move away.As for money, according to Tu's father, Tu Wendong has to study at home in recent years. They also had to dig out the money for Tu Xinyue's dowry, so there was only one or two taels that could be distributed to Tu Lin in the end.

When Tu Fu said this, Tu Lin didn't say anything, but Li Shi suddenly said in a strange way: "Your son has a lot of talent now, he has met the important people in the city, and even the county magistrate can see him if he wants to." , how can you still value this little money?"

Li Shi has always been like this to herself, and cynicism is considered light, so Tu Lin didn't pay much attention to her, and didn't even look at her.

The farce in front of the old house a few days ago was really not a good memory for Father Tu, so after he came back that day, he asked the Tu family not to talk about it again. Father Tu, who remembered what happened that day, couldn't help being ashamed for a while, and couldn't help scolding: "Say nonsense, don't stop talking!" Then he spoke kindly, and said to Tu Lin: "Ah Lin, you Mother, she has no other intentions, so don't take it to heart."

Tu Lin smiled, as if he didn't care.Seeing this, Father Tu nodded in relief, and said, "My good boy, Dad knows you are sensible." Then he said to Wang Lizheng and Li's family who were at the side, "Today, I would like to trouble you both to be a witness. "As he spoke, he greeted Tu Wendong, and asked Tu Wendong to bring the separation documents that he had just written while talking with him, and asked everyone to sign and pledge, and the separation of the family was planned to be settled in this way.

"Wait a minute first." Tu Lin said suddenly at this moment, drawing everyone's attention.

He still had a smile on his face, but what he said made the faces of the Tu family members change.I only heard Tu Lin say in a helpless and doubtful tone: "Father, I remember that I said before that seven acres of my family's thirty acres of land are my mother's dowry, so they should all belong to me, so Is the land that you have given me now a little less?"
