Chapter 96

My grandfather's generation was very poor. My grandfather was the only seedling and married my grandmother at the age of 40. According to my mother, my grandmother was a beggar and was taken in by my grandfather, so she was considered a family.

In fact, the so-called home is the two low thatched houses where my uncle originally lived.

Later, with my uncle, I could barely live in two thatched houses. Later, with my father, they were 13 years apart, and my uncle loved my father very much, and the relationship between the two brothers was quite good.

My uncle was very handsome when he was young, and my aunt didn't mind that he was poor. Although my parents' strong opposition to this marriage, my aunt resolutely cut off relations with her parents and followed her uncle.

This situation shows that the two of them are very loving. Of course, their grandfather and grandmother were full of joy. After marrying their aunt home, accommodation became a problem.

My uncle and aunt lived in the west room, while my grandfather and my father lived in the east room, so they lived in the east room. For this reason, they stripped down the stove and built a small house alone in the yard as a kitchen.

Life was very hard, and the family was in harmony. Later, my cousin was born, adding happiness to this poor family.

A few years later, my father reached the age of starting a family. As soon as he met his mother, he basically became a big deal. However, he was worried about his grandfather and grandmother. Where to live after his father got married became a big problem.

The house must be built.

My grandfather told the village about this and obtained permission, and then built three more rooms to the west next to the two old houses.

The building was adobe house, and the adobe had to be made by himself. My mother had not yet passed the door and my grandfather was old. This task mainly fell on my uncle, aunt and father. I made the billets during the slack season. The three of them were quite capable. They built three rooms in half a year, and they married their mother before they could dry the house.

Of course, my mother married her in a new house, and her grandfather and grandmother were huddled in two thatched houses with her uncle and aunt. My uncle suggested that either they would move to the new house or grandfather and grandmother would move to the new house, so we could not squeeze in like this.

The grandfather suggested that his uncle and aunt move in and let them live in the new house. But the aunt raised different opinions and was willing to let his grandfather and grandmother live in the new house. The parents agreed. In this way, the grandfather and grandmother moved into the new landlord's house, and the uncle and aunt stayed in the old house.

But when I heard my mother's complaints, I decided that my uncle wanted to occupy the two houses so that he could live in a more spacious place. If they moved here, there would be only one house belonging to them, and the living room in the middle would have to be shared with their parents.

The family of seven people had dinner together, perhaps because of the trivialities of daily life, they had some small conflicts with each other, and they all had their opinions on each other, so my uncle first proposed that it was time to separate the family.

Considering that the two brothers had a good relationship, my father asked his uncle to choose which room to want when they separated. My uncle might also want to show his magnanimity, so he asked for two old houses and gave the new house to his father, but his grandfather and grandmother had to live with his parents.

There must be a place where grandparents live. Both brothers agreed with this plan, but in fact the mother had no objection. The son had no objection, the daughter-in-law had no objection, and the grandparents had no objection. They immediately asked the village director, wrote a document, and witnessed.

From then on, my uncle and aunt still made a fire in the original small room to cook, while my parents and grandparents built a new kitchen and started a new stove.

Originally, this matter was handled quite well, and everyone thought they would go on peacefully.

Shortly after I was born, my grandfather passed away because of his age, and I had no impression of my grandfather. According to my mother, when she was a child, my grandmother often looked at me.

When I was about 5 years old, my grandmother died of a heart attack and the east room they lived in was idle.

My uncle and aunt started looking for my parents and wanted to divide the room, saying that the old man's house should be divided equally.

My mother took out the proofs she had set up when she was splitting the family and argued with reason. The black paper and white words were written very clearly. The three new houses belonged to my father, and my uncle had no right to divide them.

The reason given by his uncle and aunt was that he ignored this issue at that time, and that the distribution was unfair. Now he came to find the back account.

Of course my mother didn't want to do this. My father always listened to his mother, so he would definitely not want to give him half a room to his uncle.

As for my uncle, the village director he found, asked to be fair and redistribute the house. The village director asked my parents to give in and give it to my uncle half a room in terms of fairness. His reason is also reasonable. My cousin is in high school and it is time to get married in a few years, so he must have a place to live. As for me, I am still young, and I can think about it later, and I have to do it urgently.

My mother didn't let them go, and these reasons were not called reasons. So the matter was temporarily put on hold. My mother told her father that her uncle had a good relationship with the village director and would definitely be facing him. My father was originally a little shaken, but was scolded by his mother and said nothing.

My cousin was successful and was admitted to a university in the provincial capital. Not long after, my uncle and aunt also followed him to the provincial capital. According to my father, my cousin found a job for my uncle and aunt through his classmates. Working in the provincial capital is always better than working in the countryside. So my uncle and aunt left their hometown.

Perhaps it was because of the unpleasant incident of the separation of the house. When they left, the uncle left a sentence to his father, and without his consent, he was not allowed to live in his two thatched houses.

From then on, the two thatched houses were locked until I paid for it.

If there are no other conflicts between the two brothers, this is the matter.

"This house is so grand! It's better than the buildings in the provincial capital!"

My uncle kept praising the house, and my aunt also praised it.

"We built a spacious house, and we can live in five main houses. There are kitchens, wood-rooms, and garages below. The layout and quality of this house are among the best in our mountain villages, all in the towns and five miles. It is not below the two-story western-style building of the Chen family in the east. Its courtyard area is smaller and not as spacious as ours."

The father's uncontrollable sense of pride was revealed.

I asked my uncle and aunt how she lived in the provincial capital and how her cousin is developing now?

The uncle didn't answer immediately, and after sighing, he wiped his tears. The aunt seemed very sad and shed tears.

This aroused my curiosity and concern. After repeated questioning, they expressed their grievances.

My uncle and aunt went to the provincial capital, and my cousin did find a job and went to a clothing factory to do odd jobs. Because they were older, they could not become formal workers in the clothing factory. This took them 20 years.
