Chapter 258: In 1983, the family was separated! 【6000 words】

In today's era, farming is not as fully mechanized as in later generations. Whether it is plowing or climbing, cattle are needed to perform well. Therefore, the cattle of this era are also regarded as "farm treasures" by farmers. Basically, They all wait until the farmers grow old and die before slaughtering them for meat.

 It can be seen how important cattle are to farmers.

However, farmers who have not set up cowsheds that can provide shelter from wind and rain in advance can only watch their cattle slowly freeze to death when low temperatures and frost weather occur and continue.

 One head, two heads, three heads…

 In previous lives, according to records in the Bobai County Chronicle, a total of 2,549 cattle froze to death in the county this year, and farmers in the county suffered heavy losses.

In this life, although Deng Shirong issued an early warning, his influence only covered the Bangjie Brigade. After Bangjie was released, the only people affected by him were relatives and friends in Naye Village and a few cautious people.

Although Chen Bamei was so painful that she broke into cold sweat, she still gritted her teeth and shook her head and said, "Jiuzu (great-uncle), I'm fine."

 After all, after the family is separated, there is no mother-in-law to take care of the head, so you can be the master of the family.

 After the news spread, it naturally caused a huge sensation.

“Look at how much pain you are in, how can you be okay?”

Seeing the third and fourth children craning their necks to watch, Zhang's mother gave them ten yuan each and scolded them with a smile: "You two, save some money. Your family will build a house next year, and I will also give you a wife, Xiaojun. There are so many places to spend money!”

 The direct descendants wear sackcloth and wear filial piety. The filial son holds a filial piety stick and supports the coffin while walking, followed by other relatives.

Deng Shirong said: "I see that the position she is covering is where her stomach is. I also know a little bit about your wife's condition. I don't want to interfere with your family's household affairs, but your wife obviously has a stomach disease. You should take her there tomorrow." Hospital examination, don’t turn a minor illness into a serious one, you know?”

 So, except for the cattle of Bangjie’s brigade, which were safe and sound, the cattle of other brigades basically froze to death. The only difference was whether the number of cattle that froze to death was more or less.

 So, I also think that our house should be built new. "

"Yes, it doesn't matter how you divide other things. This is your family's business, but every piece of clothing must be priced and divided. It's really passed."

Therefore, knowing what was going on, Deng Shirong naturally wanted to give some advice. He looked at Deng Changxin and said: "Changxin, your second daughter-in-law has only been married for a few months. If you separate her family and live alone, you will definitely be punished. People gossip, I think you should think about it!”

His family members were also present and heard what Deng Shirong said, and their faces were all very exciting.

In the end, what Deng Siwu got was 169 kilograms of grain, 6 points of field, a house, one chicken and duck each, pigs and cows converted into money, plus the family's cash, a total of 132.6 yuan, a canopy bed, There are quilts, mats, pots and pans, etc., and as for the mountains, it is one-tenth.

Only those daughters-in-law who have just married and whose parents have given them enough money, or whose families have separated and are the masters of their own household, can compare with them in terms of money.

“As the saying goes, it’s better to leave a line in favor so that we can meet each other in the future. There is really no need to put these clothes out to compare prices.”

Deng Changxin sighed and said with a sad face: "Jiu Gong, captain, I understand what you are saying, but we can't separate our families."

Deng Shirong's family was on the only way to the funeral. When the funeral procession passed by, he also set off a firecracker, and then watched the funeral procession leave. He silently recited the name of his nephew in his heart, hoping that he would have a chance to go there. Live another life and don't suffer as much as you did in this life.

It was so noisy in the middle of the night that everyone, unless they were sleeping very hard, knew what was going on.

Deng Siwu helped his wife back to the room to rest, and said guiltily: "Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry!"

But this time, Deng Shirong couldn't help it anymore and said: "I won't talk about what happened before. There is no need to take out these clothes and share them, right? After all, they are brothers. Could it be that after we separate the families, we will never have contact with each other?" Yet?"

 Originally, dividing the family is a dream for many daughter-in-laws.

 So, there is nothing to be anxious about getting married.

The family is being divided by Deng Changxin. He wants to separate his eldest son Deng Siwen and his second son Deng Siwu into living alone.

 Who wouldn’t want to live in a new house if conditions permit?

Then the relatives spread mats on the ground by the wall of the hall, kneel down and cry, and they have to sleep on the spot at night. This is the so-called "keeping filial piety".

Deng Siwu, who had been silent all this time, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with some surprise: "Jiu Zu, you said that my wife has a stomach disease?"

 Chen Bamei lay on the bed like a shrimp, covering her left upper abdomen and did not respond to him.

Although they haven't separated yet and all the money they make goes into the pockets of their second wife, their parents-in-law are influenced by their sister-in-law and will give a small part of the profits to them as daughters-in-law every month. Privately stored.

 Deng Shirong was invited to testify in his previous life, so he naturally knew what was going on.

Deng Yunjun also advised: "Changxin, Uncle Jiu is right, you really need to think about it carefully. Even if you really want to break up, you should wait at least one or two years before we break up!"

Seeing Jiu Gong, the captain and others making noises, Deng Changxin lost his composure. He glared at his wife and said, "Forget the clothes, let's continue dividing the others!"

Originally, Deng Shirong and others only came to bear witness, and they had no control over how other people's families were divided.

Zhang Zhenfa lit a match, took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said with a smile: "Actually, we two old guys have already had an idea about building a new house. We planned to build it after the New Year when the weather gets warmer. We originally wanted to wait until the New Year. I’ll discuss this with you later. Now that we’ve talked about it, let’s talk about building a new house!”

 After knowing what happened, Deng Shirong went back to sleep.

When Deng Shirong came over, there was something wrong with the atmosphere. Deng Changxin and his wife looked ugly, and their two sons and daughter-in-law were sullen and silent. The other children stood nearby and said nothing. Obviously, this separation was not a normal separation; The brothers and sisters were at odds, which led to the separation of the family.

Deng Yunjun and others can't stand it either. If Uncle Jiu doesn't say anything, they won't be troublesome, but since Uncle Jiu takes the lead, they naturally have to lend a few words to help.

 At this point, Deng Shirong looked at Deng Siwu and said, "Your wife must have a stomach problem. Take her to the county hospital for a checkup tomorrow. This illness can be serious or minor. If you don't take it seriously, you may regret it."

When the whole county was in mourning, the gratitude of the villagers in Naye Village and even the entire Bangjie Brigade to Uncle Jiu (Gong) had reached its peak. They all knew that if Uncle Jiu (Gong) hadn't warned them in advance, they would all have died in advance. They were well prepared for frost protection, so maybe one of the cattle that were freezing to death one after another would be theirs.

 But in this era, both men and women want to get married after the age of 20, and Zhang Shoujun is no exception.

 He put down the chimney in his hand and asked, "Abamei, are you okay?"

 First of all, the master (Daogongban) is asked to "beat and dip" to save the soul of the deceased. The length of time depends on the financial resources of the bereaved family. The shorter one is one night or one day and one night, and the longer one is three days and three nights or seven consecutive nights.

As time went by, it naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction from the sister-in-law and mother-in-law, which led to the current scene.

So, for the next three days and three nights, the entire Naye Village was immersed in that special mourning and crying.

If it were just some chickens and ducks that froze to death, of course it wouldn't make much of a splash, but now it's the cattle that are freezing to death, and not just one or two cattle. On average, dozens or hundreds of cattle are frozen to death in a commune. ox.

During the process of dividing the family, witnesses such as Deng Shirong and others saw that Deng Siwu's daughter-in-law was targeted by her mother-in-law. For example, when dividing the grain, she said that the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law contributed more to the grain and should be divided more.

When Deng Siwu saw this, he also knew that his distrust had hurt his wife. He did not expect that he could clear up the matter in a few words. He could only say: "Daughter-in-law, please lie down on the bed first, and I will go out and give it to us." All your things have been moved in, and I will take you to the county hospital for a detailed examination tomorrow."

 The reason why there is such a big difference is actually very simple, that is, young people in later generations do not get married, but they can have girlfriends, which can solve their physical needs well and live like real couples.

After the family talked about building a house, Zhang's mother picked up the money on the table, took out two big lump sums each and handed them to her two daughters-in-law. She said, "You have worked hard this month. This is for you. You can collect it yourself." alright."

However, when the sister-in-law proposed to use a leather jacket that Deng Siwu bought when she got married to divide the price, and the mother-in-law agreed, Deng Shirong really couldn't stand it anymore.

 After speaking, when his wife still didn’t respond, he walked out of the room and began to move things into the house without saying a word.

“Thank you, Mom!” “Thank you, Mom!”

 …

 Zhang Shouguo smiled and said, "Dad, I've calculated it twice. I'm sure it's not wrong."

Zhang Shouguo has always envied his brother-in-law's house. Now that he heard that his father also wanted to build such a house, he immediately agreed: "Dad, I think your idea is very good. Our family should build such a house."

Zhang Zhenfa picked up the pipe from the side, pulled a handful of tobacco from the tobacco bag on the table, and stuffed it into the mouth of the pipe while saying: "December is the best month for business in the year. December last year Our store has made just over 400 yuan, and I’m afraid we can make 500-600 yuan this year.”

 …

There are also some miscellaneous farm tools and the like.

 Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang also had smiles on their faces.

Zhang Zhenfa put the chimney away and said: "We plan to learn from Naye's in-laws and build a new house with big blue bricks and tiles, the kind with a bathroom. The four brothers will have one house each, and we two old guys will have one house. A total of five houses are connected, and it is estimated to cost about 4,000 yuan. Do you think this is feasible? "

After being reminded, Deng Shirong did not stay here any longer and left with his hands behind his back.

On the other side, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are also moving their things, but the quantity is much larger than that of their family.

However, Deng Shirong knew that Deng Siwu's daughter-in-law was not avoiding work at home because of stomachache, but that she really had a stomachache, but she didn't go to the hospital for a checkup and mistakenly mistook the stomachache for a stomachache.

 Next, Deng Changxin divided the families of his two sons under the witness of Deng Shirong and others.

 Half an hour later, brothers Deng Siwen and Deng Siwu separated their families in the presence of Deng Shirong and others. The two brothers did not speak much during the whole process, and their respective women came forward.

　　　…”

After all, in this era, many people who have registered as legal couples may not have the opportunity to consummate their marriage before serving wine. And to say the least, even if someone else's girl touches you, the wedding day will have to be put on the agenda. It is impossible to be irresponsible.

However, that was all after she separated.

 Therefore, when Zhang Shoujun heard his mother say that she was going to find him a wife, he did not reject her at all, but agreed with expectation.

 In the Bobai realm, there is a set of customs for holding funerals, with little difference from place to place.

So, skip the clothes and continue to divide them.

After Deng Shirong was woken up, he knew who was leaving. In terms of seniority, the person was his nephew. He was born in the late Qing Dynasty. He is 83 years old this year. His health has not been very good in the past two years. He is leaving at this time. It's also a normal thing.

 Three days later in the afternoon, the deceased was buried, the coffin was covered with red cloth, and the whole family wailed.

A certain family was splitting up. As the most senior elder in the village, Deng Shirong was naturally invited to bear witness. Deng Yunjun, as the captain, was naturally also present.

 But those were all many years after the marriage, and the newly married daughter-in-law was naturally not included in this list.

 Naye Village.

So, in the following days, Deng Shirong received souvenirs from the villagers of Shangxiaersan Village every day.

Although it is not a valuable thing, it is the wish of the villagers.

From Azu's Hall to the funeral, if you pass by the door of someone's house along the way, that house will have to set off a firecracker.

Nowadays, people in rural areas get married relatively early. Take Deng Siwu and his wife as an example. He has just turned 20 and his wife is only 18. Who is not panicking when they have to support a family at such a young age?

 This is not just about supporting yourself. Only those who have experienced it will understand how difficult it will be to have a child without the help of parents.

Now it was freezing cold, and the old man had only one breath left. As soon as his children and grandchildren spread out the mat for him to lie down in, he quietly breathed his last breath.

Deng Shirong also experienced this scene in his previous life. This leather jacket was bought by Deng Shiwu for 25 yuan with his own money. It was really taken out and judged. Although he felt that they had gone too far at the time, he still In that sentence, this was someone else's family matter. In the end, neither he nor the captain intervened.

Zhang Zhenfa's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "Boss, have you calculated this number clearly? Is it correct?"

　　When the land was being divided, it was said that the production team was dividing the land. The eldest daughter-in-law and her grandson both received a share, so they had to get more.

Deng Changxin opened his mouth, but finally said nothing and turned into a sigh.

About ten minutes later, Zhang Shouguo calculated the profit for this month and said happily: "Dad, Mom, this month, our store made 436 yuan."

As for the funeral time of the deceased, different communes in Bobai Realm have different regulations. According to the rules of Shuangwang Realm, all happy events are in the morning and funerals are in the afternoon. The rules of some communes are the opposite.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Second Sister-in-law Zhang also agreed. Each of the four brothers has a house. Although the family has not been separated yet, they can also take charge of their own houses. This is naturally a great thing for them. If nothing else, at least their natal family When people come, they feel confident to stay overnight.

The same goes for Deng Yunjun and others. Everyone just gave some kind words of advice and stopped saying more when they saw that it had no effect.

Sister-in-law felt a little regretful when she heard this, but the ninth ancestor had already spoken out, how could she dare to talk too much!

 Zhang Shoujun is 19 years old this year. When his family builds a house next year, he will be 20 years old.

Of course, this is a treatment that can only be received by a normal death at home. If a misfortune occurs outside, this kind of death will not qualify you to enter the Azu Hall.

 In the 1960s and 1970s, due to well-known reasons, funeral arrangements were kept simple.

However, it is already 1983, and the ancient funeral rules are naturally resurrected.

 The distribution of other things is similar. Anyway, the eldest son gets more and the second son gets less.

 Poxin Village.

Mother Zhang said happily: "It's great. I made more than 30 yuan more than last month. This business is getting better and better."

Now the two sisters have more than two hundred yuan saved in their small treasury. This is private money that they can completely decide on their own. No matter who they put it in, it is a happy thing. Just this private money She is already better than 99% of the wives in the village.

 Zhang's mother looked at her third son and said, "Xiaojun, you are not young now. When the new house is built, I can give you a wife."

Although the ten yuan is not much, it is not too little either. There is no problem in pretending to be cool among peers in the village.

As the saying goes, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Deng Shirong had no intention of intervening in other people's family affairs. No matter how fair you handle this kind of thing, some people will be dissatisfied, so there is no need to meddle in other people's business. After some advice, he No longer talk much, but became a witness.

 In a blink of an eye, 1982 in the Gregorian calendar came to an end, and 1983 ushered in a year of special significance.

Today is the end of November of the lunar calendar, and Zhang Zhenfa’s family is settling accounts behind closed doors.

“He is from the Changxin family, and this is also your biological son!”

"knew!"

 Birth, old age, illness and death are things that no one can avoid. For Deng Shirong, who has already died once, he has already looked away from it.

 It wasn’t until the pain became more and more serious that one day she even fainted from the pain and was sent to the hospital for treatment. Only then did she realize that she had a stomach problem.

Seeing this scene, the sister-in-law and her mother-in-law both looked disgusted, feeling that the other party was pretending again.

 Deng Shirong cannot influence people in other places.

After all, the reason for this separation was that Deng Siwu's daughter-in-law "pretended to be sick" and refused to work. But now according to Jiu Gong (ancestor), Chen Bamei's illness seems not to be fake, but to have a stomach problem. If this is true, Then they are a bit on the wax.

To put it simply, the separation of the brothers was caused by the daughter-in-law Deng Siwu married. Everyone in the family had endless work to do. Only Deng Siwu’s daughter-in-law, not long after she got married, kept avoiding the family on the grounds of stomachache. various activities.

 Zhang Shouguo nodded and said, "Dad, tell me."

After the family division, as soon as Deng Yunjun and others left, Deng Siwu's wife squatted on the ground with a look of pain on her left upper abdomen.

Seeing that the second brother and sister-in-law started to take action, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, as well as Zhang Shoujun and Zhang Shoushan, also agreed and unanimously agreed to build a new house.

Zhang Ersao also smiled when she heard this and said: "Yes, Dad, Mom, our family is rich now. Although the house is still barely enough to live in, when A Pingmei and her brother-in-law come, the rooms they live in are not easy to arrange, and Everyone has seen my brother-in-law’s house, and I don’t know how comfortable it is. It’s still very inconvenient to live in a house like ours.

At this age, most people in future generations will still be studying in school. Even if they leave campus, they would not want to get married so early.

After carrying the coffin out of the Azu's Hall, the filial son needs to go under the coffin three times, which is called "building a bridge." The Taoist chants sutras to guide the way, the eldest grandson (if there is no eldest grandson, it can also be other younger relatives) holds a memorial tablet, and the sleeves of the funeral relatives and friends are wrapped in white cloth. (Wrapped in black cloth in some places), preceded by elegiac couplets, gongs and cymbals are played, firecrackers are fired, and paper money is scattered along the way.

 However, in today's era, if you want to solve your physical needs, apart from being a craftsman, the only way is to get married.

Not to mention other people, even Deng Siwu, the husband, didn't say a word, which made Deng Shirong secretly shake his head, feeling that this daughter-in-law was really unlucky for eight lifetimes when she married into their family.

 Zhang Shoumin chuckled and said, "Dad, Mom, after this year's calculation, our store will definitely earn more than four thousand. Shouldn't the house at home be renovated?"

 The two brothers took the money and raised the corners of their mouths slightly.

Zhang Shoumin also nodded repeatedly and said: "I also think this is a good idea. Everyone knows how comfortable the house of my brother-in-law's house is. If our family builds a house like this, it will be unique in Poxin Village."

In the middle of the night, a big event happened in Naye Village. The oldest old man in the village suddenly fell seriously ill. While he was still breathing, his children and grandchildren used flashlights to carry him to Azu Gong. hall.

Deng Siwu responded quickly, and then went to help his wife with some shame.

After a person dies, relatives will first wash the body with a fragrant towel and put on the shroud (new clothes, new shoes, and new socks that were rushed out before death. When the person grows old, these things are prepared in advance by the old man's daughter. If there is no daughter, other relatives will prepare it). The body is wrapped in jute, with silver or copper coins in its mouth and rice **** in its hands. Then it is carried to the Azu Hall on a wooden board. The body is covered with mosquito nets, an incense table is set up, and a permanent lamp is lit.

 Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang took the money and kept it happily.

 …

 As for his parents and other younger brothers and sisters, they were watching from the side.

The family that originally lived in harmony, after experiencing this unfair separation, the rift in their hearts may never be repaired in this life.
