Chapter 8 Huitun

Ma Zhenzhong said "thumbs up" and parked the ox cart at the gate of Guan's house. It was lunch time and many people were working at home.

In addition to the strong laborers who go out to build canals, the entire production team is not idle. There is still a lot of farm work to do before spring plowing, such as choosing seeds, burning stubble and turning over the ground.

The so-called stubble burning means digging and burning the roots of the crops left in the fields when the corn and sorghum harvested last year, which is also for the purpose of fertilizing the fields.

But there are always bad sheep.

For example, Guan Daguan is lucky, and it is said that his waist injury recurs, but Old Man Guan believed in this evil and was trying to find Captain Ma to sell his old face to ask for a relaxing life for his eldest son.

Hearing the movement, Mr. Guan came to the gate with his hands on his back, turned his head and shouted to the yard, "Come out and help me." He asked, "Are An An okay?"

Guan Youshou hugged the child and nodded softly.

Guan Ping'an quickly called out grandpa.

No matter what, she is a granddaughter and has to be polite. That is, now, if it were a thousand years ago, her father would be miserable.

Aunt Guan is just over fifty years old, half of her hair is white, and her face is also full of wrinkles. She is walking with her feet and trembling when walking. She is the so-called three-inch golden lotus.

Behind her, the eldest daughter-in-law, and several grandchildren stepped out of the yard. Before she could speak, the eldest daughter-in-law Liu Chunhua shouted, "Oh, are you willing to come back?"

Aunt Guan fucked the saugada in her hand and slapped her, scolding her, "You messing around, I'll let you talk too much, I'll let you..."

Liu Chunhua took a big stance and flashed to the side, "Mom, what are you doing? I'll just say what's wrong? Why are you getting angry? It's just that, Mr. Ma said that nothing is wrong, but his little girl's movies are valuable? I threw them into the back mountain a few years ago and went to the county town, which makes him look so beautiful that the third child..."

Uncle Guan shouted angrily: "Stop it!"

Liu Chunhua was still a little afraid that her father-in-law would be angry, so she immediately closed her mouth, glanced at the wrapping skin that Ye Xiuhe was carrying, and rushed forward, "My brother and sister, I'll come, I'll help you carry it."

Ye Xiuhe rolled her eyes, pushed her away with one hand, called her parents, squeezed into the door and left directly.

Guan Ping'an looked at her aunt Liu Chunhua in amazement and curled her lips indifferently, muttering: Why are you showing off? Isn't it cost me my money?

Even Guan Youshou heard this. He sneered, turned around and said to Ma Zhenzhong, "Thank you, brother, don't say much, go back to your house and chat."

Ma Zhenzhong patted his shoulder sympathetically, jumped onto the ox cart and threw the bull whip and left hurriedly, worried that he would be too late to control his broken mouth.

"Three, have you eaten? Mom has left you food, so I'll take the child to eat first."

Guan Youshou smiled at Aunt Guan, "Mom, I'll be here soon."

Seeing his son and his family enter, Aunt Guan frowned at his wife, sighed and turned around and went in.

"Master, my third uncle bought something."

"I smell the fragrance, too."

Uncle Guan glared at the grandson and followed him into the yard with his hands behind his back.

The atmosphere at home was not right these two days, and the two youngest sons in the eldest house did not dare to speak much. They entered the yard dejectedly and spat in the direction of the third house.

Mr. Guan's eyes twitched and glared fiercely at the eldest daughter-in-law who was entering the door.

After waiting, Liu Chunhua turned around and rolled her eyes, turned her butt and headed towards her room. She had to ask the child's father to talk to her. She was the eldest daughter-in-law. Are there any rules?

Guan Ping'an's family knew nothing about the movement outside, and she was seriously looking at her family.

Similar to what I remember, this room is not small, but there are not many things. The most conspicuous one is a large kang located by the window.

There are shiny kang mats on the kang, and there are two beds on the kang that are washed white and stacked together, with big red and green flowers sandwiched with big flower quilts like mandarin ducks.

This is the quilt she made when her parents got married.

Two large red wooden boxes are placed side by side at the end of the kang, and two large and small baskets are placed on it, one of which is a needle and thread basket.

There is a wooden shelf made by her father in the corner of the wall behind the door. There is a round wooden basin on it and a foot basin below.

The wall was covered with yellow white paper and five colorful New Year pictures were pasted, with different new and old, but they were all very clean. It should be because my parents lived in for five years and were reluctant to tear them off.

The whole room was simple but clean.

"Eat first."

As Guan Youshou's words rang out, Ye Xiuhe put things into the wooden box, put a small lock on it, picked up Guan Ping'an and went out.

The houses of the Guan family are very simple, but the combined area of ​​the front and back yards is not small. There are five mud thatched houses in front with herringbone beam structures.

Now the east house lives in Mr. Guan and his elders, next to him is the fourth young couple. The two west houses connected to the outer room in the middle are the bedrooms of Mr. Guan and his elders.

Originally, one of them belonged to Guan Lao Er and Guan Youlu, but later he was criticized by Liu Chunhua for a few times and moved to three mud thatched houses with Guan Lao San.

Two bungalows, one large and one small, and one two-house warehouse are all mud and thatched houses, surrounded by fences of about one meter and five in height.

There are about 200 households in Maliutun. Every household raises pigs and chickens, so almost all the households use fences to enclose a yard.

Of course, there are several wealthy families in the village, such as the patriarch and team leader of the Lao Ma family, and Mr. Zhao, who live in blue brick houses and earthen walls.

The outsiders like the Guan family do not occupy a very good geographical location. The reason why they have such a large foundation is that, in addition to being remote, this land is the most barren.

The most intuitive point.

It was far away from the water source in the village, the small river, so the Guan family spent a lot of money to drill a well. Especially in the drought in the past few years, the well could not get any water. If Mr. Guan had not had four sons to fight the formation, he would have been killed if he had robbed the water.

This is also one of the reasons why Mr. Guan would rather build a three-room house in the backyard than split up.

You cannot avoid being bullied anywhere. If you want to integrate into a village mainly based on the Ma family surname, you will not have a hundred years, but people still think you are outsiders.

If he hadn't had the geographical location of this village, if he hadn't had four sons and one daughter, if he hadn't had some friendship with the Ma family, he wouldn't have dared to settle here.

Since the youngest son married the Ma family, he saw that his family had more and more say, but the third brother started to struggle again. How could he not see that this son wanted to split up?

This family is indeed thanks to this son.

Even if he refused Ma Laoliu's proposal to marry him when he didn't listen to his advice, and then he was even more greedy for his appearance and married his current daughter-in-law, he had to admit this.

Among the four sons, the third son is the least worried about him.

But what are brothers?

He has a lack of brothers in his life. If his parents had not died early, he would not have been sold to the provincial capital as a slave by his cousin.

Especially when the birth of a pair of twins made him even more happy and worried.

It is indeed a good sign for happiness, but I am even more worried about what my midwife said at the beginning that it will be difficult for the third daughter-in-law to have children in the future. Tell me, this room will be the only one in the future.
