When the village chief praised Jinbao, everyone except Zhao Fengzhu had happy smiles on their faces.
"Village chief, didn't you say that the words "lucky stars and disaster stars" are feudal superstitions?"
As soon as Zhao Fengzhu finished speaking, she was pushed by her husband, whose eyes seemed to scold her for talking too much.
"What are you doing? Am I wrong?"
Su Erzhuang lowered his voice and said angrily through his teeth, "Don't you see that everyone is very happy? You must stir up trouble and spoil your parents' happiness."
"I just feel that our family is becoming more and more superstitious. We always talk about strange things like lucky stars, and we also value girls over boys. My parents-in-law don't care about my grandson at all, but they only hug my granddaughter and love her."
Zhao Fengzhu deliberately spoke loudly, as if the family felt sorry for her.
"Fengzhu, what do you mean by this?" Li Xiu'e stared at her and asked, "I love my granddaughter and it's hurting you, right?"
"Everything delicious is given to my granddaughter, but my grandson doesn't get a bite. I've never seen you being a grandma like this." Zhao Fengzhu said sarcastically.
Now that she has even chosen a 120-square-meter plot of land, she is not afraid of breaking up if they no longer live together.
I thought the village chief would be on her side, but unexpectedly he said: "Grandma has no obligation to take care of her grandson. It's up to you, the parents, to figure out what your child should eat. Don't rely on your mother-in-law for everything."
"It's just that if your family wants to eat well, you can find a way to get it yourself. Mom doesn't owe you anything." Zhang Guilan stood on her mother-in-law's side.
"Village chief, they always say that Jinbao is a lucky star. You have to take care of this kind of thing, right?"
Zhao Fengzhu pointed to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
The village chief frowned, "The lucky star means blessed people. This is a good wish for the children. Don't make a fuss about everything."
"No, village chief, I remember you didn't say that before, right?"
"I objected to this statement before because the people in the village were too patriarchal. They always said that daughters were a burden and a disaster, and they beat and scolded them. I couldn't stand it, so I said it was feudal superstition and asked everyone to stop saying this.
My original intention was to protect the female dolls in the village."
After the village chief finished explaining, he saw Xiao Jinbao grinning brightly at him and started laughing too, as if every wrinkle on his face was filled with smiles.
"What a cute little baby," he couldn't help but sigh, "Old Sutou, you are so lucky."
Su Changzhu smiled from ear to ear.
The atmosphere was harmonious.
When Zhao Fengzhu heard that the village chief kept praising Jinbao, she felt very annoyed, uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
"Village Chief," she interrupted everyone's conversation about Jinbao, "when will that land be ours? I want to build the house as soon as possible and move out as soon as possible."
"When I hand over the relevant materials and they are approved by the higher-ups, then you sign, put your fingerprints, and get the homestead use certificate, and then you can build a house on it."
Zhao Fengzhu, who was anxious to move, urged: "Village chief, you have to hurry up."
Her mother-in-law glanced at her displeasedly, feeling that what she said was really rude.
In comparison, her eldest daughter-in-law knew how to behave better. She walked up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, village chief." She also left the village chief to have lunch at home.
"No, no, no, I have other things to deal with. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Look, it's almost noon. Village chief, you'd better have something to eat at our house," Zhang Guilan persuaded, "I cook very quickly."
The village chief waved his hand, "It's really not necessary. You can keep it for yourself. This baby Jin Bao looks so delicate. You must take good care of her."
"Don't worry, even if I'm hungry for two or three days, I still want Jinbao to eat well."
After a few more pleasantries, the village chief walked out. Su Daqiang and Su Erzhuang hurriedly sent the people to the intersection.
Within a few days, the village chief sent the homestead use certificate to the old Su family. There were two red books in total.
The elder's family and the second's family had fun for a while with their notebooks, thinking that they finally had their own land.
The village chief posted an announcement on the village bulletin board as required, regarding the approval of Su Daqiang and Su Erzhuang's application for homestead building as separate households.
"What?" Many people gathered around, "What is written on it?"
Most people in the village are illiterate, cannot read, and cannot read announcements.
A man who had been studying for several years squeezed into the crowd and looked up with squinted eyes.
Others asked him one after another, "What is written above?"
The man read the announcement again.
Everyone was surprised, "What? The eldest and second son of the Su family want to build their own houses?"
“What does household division mean?”
"Why, the old Su family has been allocated two pieces of land again."
In the past, the village divided the land according to the number of males. The old Su family had many males, so they were allocated a piece of land. No one had much to say. After all, the Su family was famous for giving birth to sons.
Now that the Su family has been allocated two pieces of land, many people can't sit still and go to the village chief to ask for an explanation.
"If you meet the conditions and want to split your household, you can come to me to apply. It's just that we don't have much free land in the village now. If you want to build a homestead, you may have to find a way to open up the mountain."
Several old people said loudly: "All the young and strong people in our village have gone to work in the production team, leaving us, the old, weak, sick and disabled, how can we build mountains?"
"That's right. It's troublesome to open a mountain. I don't know how many square meters of land I can dig out for a whole year."
In the midst of the discussion, the village chief patted the table and said, "It's not necessary to open up the mountain. There are still some land on the slopes with a relatively small area. It's not impossible for you to settle there if you want to."
"Who builds a house on a slope? No, no, if it rains, the house will be washed away."
Everyone sighed, "How come the old Su family is so lucky? They were directly allocated land that can be used to build a house."
Someone said: "Who laughed at Lao Sutou's sons for breaking up their families before?"
"Oh, who knew that land could be divided among households? If I had known, I would have let my second son live separately. Living together would be tiring."
Regarding the two pieces of land allocated to the Su family, everyone in the village soon knew everything about it. People in the production team also envied Accountant Su for being able to get such a large piece of land.
"120 square meters is not too small. If you build three mud houses, you can still have a yard."
"Why do I feel like everyone is talking about Accountant Su's family recently?"
"Before, it was the wolf who sent the rabbit, and before that, it was the fish jumping into the bucket. Now the Su family has two more pieces of land. Alas, the Su family has taken over all the good things."
In the cafeteria, listening to everyone's discussion, Liu Shumei raised a smile on her lips. She hoped that Accountant Su would encounter all kinds of good things, because he was worth it.
Just as she was thinking about it, a voice suddenly sounded next to her, "Ah! Accountant Su is here!"
Many people gathered around and said, "Accountant Su, can you bring your little niece over to show us all? I want to hug her and soak up her blessings."
"It's okay if you don't let me hug you. Let's see our little lucky star." Everyone said excitedly.
Although Su Erzhuang was happy that they praised Jinbao as a lucky star, he was a little worried about this statement.
What if everyone hugs Jin Bao and nothing good happens? I guess they will start to blame Jin Bao again.
Just like his wife...
Su Erzhuang got a headache when he thought about his wife.
"Feudal superstition is unacceptable! My little niece is just an ordinary child, she just looks cute and smart. There is no need to see her or hug her. Everyone, please eat quickly and stop hanging around me."
