"Dad, I don't dare to say this in advance. Wouldn't it make people jealous even more if I say it?
If someone comes in and causes trouble, can I change my household registration and move out?" Xu Shiyan also laughed.
"Dad, that's what I think. I'll move out first to explore.
When I get a foothold in Donggang, you and my mother will also move out. The big house here is still too remote and not as good as Donggang."
Xu Shiyan never thought about leaving his parents in the big house.
He deliberately moved out first because he wanted to separate his household registration, buy a house by himself, and not get involved with the family, so as to avoid causing trouble for his brothers in the future.
In his previous life, the brother moved away early, leaving him alone to stay with his parents.
Those few people said very well that the third child will support his parents in old age, and the house will be left to the third child in the future, but they don’t want it.
When my mother lost her house and it was demolished, these people stopped talking and said that the old house was left by her mother and all her sons had a share.
He suffered a loss and was cheated once in his previous life, so he would not step into a trap in this life.
All five sons are responsible for providing for themselves in old age, so don’t think of blaming them all on him.
The family property will be divided equally when the old couple is gone.
What he earned is his own, so don't mix it up with the old man this time, so as not to make the calculation unclear in the future.
"By the way, I bought a house in Donggang. It has three rooms and a pretty big yard. It's bigger than our house.
What I mean is, let Lao Liu live with me in Donggang.
I found her an apprenticeship in the forestry bureau’s tailor shop, where she can learn the craft from a master, and after she learns it, she might be able to stay in the shop and work.”
Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need to hide the rest. Xu Shiyan directly brought up the matter of taking Xu Shiqin away.
"Third brother, you helped me find a master to learn tailoring? Oh, that's great. I've wanted to learn it for a long time, but no one taught me."
On the other end, Xu Shiqin almost jumped up with joy when he heard this.
She is in poor health and cannot earn a few work points from working in the fields. It is really difficult in this agricultural team.
If you can learn a craft and help people make clothes or something like that in the future, you will have the ability to make a living.
Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan were also very happy. Their old daughter was their biggest worry, and they had always been worried about what would happen to their daughter in the future.
Unexpectedly, the third child had this ability, so he arranged for the sixth child to learn tailoring.
Looking back now, this is a very good craft. Even if you can't stay in the store to work after you learn it, you can still make clothes for others at home, and you can still eat and drink.
"Lao Liu, you have to study hard and don't let down your third brother's childishness."
Zhou Guilan took her daughter's hand and gave her instructions with great emotion.
"I know, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." Xu Shiqin was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
"Third brother, when are we moving to Donggang? I have to pack my things quickly."
"As soon as possible. Your third sister-in-law and I will also pack things tomorrow, and then find a few sledges. Let's move them quickly while the river is still freezing."
You have to pack up before moving, and Qi Yunsheng also has to give people some time to move out.
Here, Xu Shiqin is happily looking forward to moving to Donggang and learning the craft from his master.
On the other side, Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong were feeling unhappy.
Both of them are educated youths from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau who went to the countryside. They haven't been able to return to the city yet, so why are the third and sixth sons moving away?
“Lao San, whose path did you take to send an apprentice to Lao Liu?
There is no news about your second sister-in-law and I coming back to the city this time, why don't you ask someone to help us find out?" Xue Xiulin couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.
"Sister-in-law, returning to the city is a big deal and I can't help you.
If you have time, go back to Songjianghe often, let your family do some activities, and you can always find a way back to the city."
It had only been more than a year since he returned to the city in 1979, and Xu Shiyan was unwilling to expend that effort.
It took a lot of effort to get in touch with Guo Shouye, but the more you use this favor, the less it will be. You can't talk casually, you have to use it wisely.
When Xue Xiulin heard this, she was discouraged. When she returned to her parents' home on the third day of junior high school, they also went back to inquire.
Those who are not married can return to the city now, but they are all married and have children, so they do not meet the conditions.
No one has the foresight to do this kind of thing.
At that time, I was having a hard time going to the countryside, so I just wanted to have someone to rely on when I got married. How could I ever imagine that I would ever return to the city?
There's no point regretting it now. You can't leave your husband and children and go back to the city, right? They can't do such a heartless thing.
What can we do? Wait, maybe one day the policy changes and they can go back?
Xu Shiyan sat here for a while, and the misunderstanding was resolved, and then he left the Xu family and went back to accompany his wife.
The next day, the eighth day of the first lunar month, Xu Shiyan and his wife were packing their things at home.
Even though they only had one set of furniture and luggage when they separated and moved out, over the past six months, they have purchased a lot of things one after another.
There were pots, pans, pots and pans, and all kinds of household items needed for daily living. Not only these, but also the food they shared.
The rations distributed in the brigade, the Xu family's private land, and the crops produced in small wasteland, Xu Chenghou all distributed the rations to Xu Shiyan according to the population.
I originally thought that the two of them didn't have much to eat, and there wasn't much room at Lao Li's house to store it, so they kept it at Xu's house and occasionally went over to carry some back.
I'm moving this time, so I have to take everything with me.
The news that Xu Shiyan was moving to Southwest Cha had long spread, and many people who were close to him came to help when they saw the Xu Shiyan brothers going back and forth.
It didn’t take long before everything that needed to be sorted was sorted out.
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Shiyan went to see Hu Liancheng again and asked him to find the ginseng watchers and make a handover.
There are also firewood, seeds, wood and other things on the mountain that Xu Shiyan collected this autumn and winter.
Since he is no longer on the mountain to see ginseng, he has to take these with him.
The new ginseng practitioner in the village is Hu Liancheng's brother-in-law Li Qiang.
Xu Shiyan took several of his brothers up the mountain, intending to finish handing over the matter and get the things back from the mountain along the way.
As soon as the group arrived at the ginseng field, they discovered that there were quite a few pheasants, hares, etc. piled up in front of the ginseng house.
Everyone was stunned, "Third brother, why didn't you take all this with you when you went down the mountain? Why did you leave so much behind?"
Xu Shide glanced at it and saw that there were at least a dozen pheasants, hares, and the like in that pile.
His third brother is so big-hearted that he doesn’t take away so many things?
Xu Shiyan was stunned, "No, I didn't do this. I packed it up when I left, so I won't leave it behind."
Xu Shiyan said, and went to check, and at a glance he found that those pheasants and rabbits were all killed by some kind of animal.
Comparing the tooth marks, Xu Shiyan looks like a fox or wolf.
Xu Shiyan quickly stood up and looked around, and sure enough, he found some traces on the snow near the house.
"It's a fox. I rescued a fire fox from a wolf in the mountains before, brought it home and raised it for nearly half a month, feeding it meat all day long.
Before I went home, I set it free. I guess it was the pheasant and hare that this guy got as a return gift."
All things have animism, let alone foxes? This little guy is quite interesting, and he also knows how to repay kindness.
