After having lunch, Qin'er and Dingxiang took two kids in to talk to Zhang and Xu. The eldest brother and sister-in-law led Fei Erye, Gao Yunfeng, Chen Hu, Ge Erxiao and others to settle in. The dozens of porters hired

He couldn't go back in the evening, so the young masters of the Xu, Wang and Chen family helped arrange for a stay at each family. Han Xiufeng sat in the main hall and talked with his father-in-law Xu Yunshan, Wang Jingcheng and Chen Huagui.

All the things are about the village. For example, Dilong turned over and died in the village this time. For example, last year, seeing a poor tenant who was taken in was not only lazy but also stealing things. Such a disaster could not be kept, so he beat him up and drove him out of the village.

, He will never be allowed to come again in the future.

Han Xiufeng followed his uncle to the city to make a living when he was very young. Most of the people in the village didn't know who they were talking about, so he could only nod from time to time.

Xu Yunshan realized that Mr. Han might not be very interested in these things, and said carefully: "The land ditches have not changed in the past two years, but the group fee is more than before. The flower shops in the village not only have to pay but also pay people.

The group of the group had to go to Zoumagang, and they had to travel for more than ten miles. They were all young and strong, and they couldn't do the work in the fields."

"Master Han, let's not hide it from you. These days we are discussing with Master Duan to see if Chen can ask the county master to let us organize a group by ourselves. We have already thought about the name of the group, and we will call it Ciyun Group."

"Master Han, I donated the Martial Arts Superintendent to my third brother for this matter."

"My fourth brother donated the student of the Cultural Affairs Bureau!"

Han Xiufeng wanted to start a small group, but he couldn't help but put down his teacup and asked: "If you run a group by yourself, don't pay the group fee for the Zhaima Group anymore, and the young people in the village don't have to go left and right to go on the Zhaima Group anymore.

Post?"

"Master Han, that's what we think." Xu Yunshan saw that Han Xiufeng did not object, and said while the fire was hot: "We used to pay and work, but the Zouma Group only cared about Zoumagang and did not care about us Ciyun. We did not send our group members to us.

I don’t care about the thieves here, but I have caused us to lose a cow and a dozen pigs and sheep in the past few years."

"And last autumn, I didn't know which one killed several acres of rice and scrambled to cut off several acres in one fell swoop in the fall of a large area of ​​rice overnight!"

"By the way, Ciyun Temple was also thieves. Last summer, several thieves ran to Ciyun Temple in broad daylight, tied up the big monk and the little monk, then rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and snatched all the money in the temple.

If someone is not going to burn incense, help loosen the ties as soon as possible, those monks will really starve to death!"

"Did you report to the official?"

"Master Han, do you think we dare to report to the official position when encountering such a thing? You can only admit that you are unlucky."

"It seems that we Ciyun has to hold a group." Han Xiufeng took a sip of tea and pondered: "I will go to the county magistrate in a few days and say that you three are ready first."

"Thank you, Mr. Han, then I'll go and arrange it early tomorrow morning."

...

After seeing off the three, Han Da and Fei Erye came together.

Seeing that the eldest brother actually brought in a bunch of account books and more than a dozen land deeds, Han Xiufeng realized that the matter at home had to be arranged quickly, otherwise the eldest brother and second sister-in-law would not feel at ease.

"Brother, I know that you and my sister-in-law don't mean to separate your family, but the state has national laws and family rules. Without rules, there will be no square or round." Han Xiufeng put down the deed and looked up at his father-in-law and Master Fei Er, and his eyes turned to the same thing again.

The restrained Han Da said: "As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father. Now that my father is not here, we have to be the elder brother in our family."

Han Da said bitterly: "No, no, I can't read it. I can't read a lot of words. How can I take it as my home!"

"Xiushan, don't worry, let your brother finish speaking." Duan Jiqing patted his arm, thought about it and advised: "Don't look at how high Zhixing is outside, but he is still your brother at home."

"But I really can't be this one."

"Xiushan, I heard from your brother. If you can't behave now, it doesn't mean you can't behave in the future. Besides, I have nothing to do. I will teach you how to be the one in this family." Master Fei Er couldn't help but smile.

"But……"

"Don't let it go, listen to me first."

Han Xiufeng looked through the land deed and said slowly: "Our family now has more than 60 acres of paddy fields and more than 50 acres of forest land. Let's ask someone if they can buy some more and see if they can make up for two.

Hundred acres. At that time, twenty acres are taken out for sacrifice fields, and the annual harvest is reserved for ancestor worship and ancestral hall repair;

Then take out eighty acres of public land for my Han family. The annual harvest is kept for the children to study. Now it may not be necessary, but when the children grow up and have a future, they will go to the provincial capital or even the capital to take the exam.

, This harvest is not necessarily enough. So now if there is a surplus and cannot be used up, you can deposit it in the pawn shop to make a profit or store some public fields."

Duan Jiqing thought that this was the atmosphere that a wealthy family should have, and couldn't help but say: "How much money does a child have to fund a year? How big is the funding? You can write a charter when you look back. In short, this kind of thing has a beginning and an end, otherwise

If you meet an unfilial descendant who is lazy in the name of studying, can you still use the harvest of public fields to support him for the rest of your life?”

"Yes, yes, yes, you have to make a charter." Mr. Fei agreed deeply.

Han Xiufeng nodded when he saw Han Da and then said, "Brother, as for the remaining land, we four brothers are equally divided. Although the third brother was adopted by the second wife as his heir, the third brother is also our own brother, let alone us not.

Uncle, how could we have today as the three of us brothers?"

"Siwazi, I can't bear to leave it. It's okay to get more points."

"There is no need to divide too much. It's best to divide equally. Our uncle died early. After a few days of free time, I asked the second master to help him testify, establish the constitution that should be established, and measure the land at the same time, and divide it together." Han

Xiufeng paused and then said, "There is this newly built yard. I have a house in the city, so I don't want it anymore. You and your second brother are separated."

"How can this be done? I will share it with me and my second brother and sister. Where will you live with your younger brother and sister back?"

"I can stay with you. Besides, how long can I stay at home? If I share it with me, you won't live there. I won't stay for a few years like before, and I will not be able to live in someone even if I come back."

"Xiushan, I listen to your brother, you don't need to be polite to your brother in these matters." Duan Jiqing knew very well that his son-in-law was just coming back to Ding You, and even if he really retired, he would not live in the countryside.

For fear that my elder brother would misunderstand, Han Xiufeng said seriously and sincerely: "Brother, the reason why I proposed to split up is that I really don't mean to dislike you, but because of the fact that they are all very good at the career. If they don't set any rules, they will

I feel that there is an uncle who is an official, and there is no need to worry about anything in the future. After the family is divided, it will be different. After the family is divided, they will know that it is better to rely on themselves than to rely on others, and they will know that they must work hard, otherwise they will have to go home to farm in the future.

.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Think about it, I have to let the children suffer a little. They have never suffered any of the hardships we suffered when we were young!"

"That's what I mean." Han Xiufeng smiled and continued: "When I get free to make a family rule and write a charter, you can follow the family rules and regulations to be the family. The second master will teach you what I don't understand.

It was Qin'er and I for you. The second and third brothers each prepared 500 taels of silver. You can buy some land, go to Zoumagang or even the city to buy a shop to collect rent, or save it for the children in the future.

Marrying a wife, in short, this is a little bit of my wish for Qin'er."

"I can't ask for your money anymore. Besides, why do I want so much money? I didn't spend a dozen or so of the money you asked Qin'er to bring last time. I really don't have to spend money in the countryside!"

"There was no place to spend money in the past, which does not mean that there will be no in the future. If Shitong is successful and can get a good fortune, do you want to spend money? If Shitong and his wife are old, do you want to spend money to get married? Don't be polite to me, this matter is decided so

"Han Xiufeng put down the teacup, thought about it and said, "When it comes to the silver, Zhuzi and the youngest girl asked me to give you and your second brother, and the third brother also brought twenty taels each. This is their wish, and you too

There is no need to be polite to the couple."

Han Da was honest and had never seen so much money. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a while before asking: "Zhuzi and Xiaomei'er are good in Beijing. Calculate the life of Xiaomei'er, the young girl should have a baby.

Now, it’s not a couple but a family of three, but a family of three. I just don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl.”

Duan Jiqing smiled and said, "He will definitely ask Rishengchang to send a message to his family for such a big deal. I guess it will take less than two or three months to get a message."

"Yes, it's useless for us to sit here and do it in a hurry, we can only wait for news."

No longer mentioning the money, Han Da was not as restricted as before, and said carefully: "Siwazi, isn't Pan Er back? He has been here several times these days, and once he led four or five supervisors, the group chief

I brought a lot of things every time I came here. I couldn't read, but it was the account that Mr. Duan helped me to keep. Who gave me the money that others gave me when I was having funerals? Every time I paid, I had a total of the money that I gave me.

.I was worried that the thief would be thinking about our money, so I put the money I gave in the jar and buried it under the tree in the backyard, and buried a total of six major jars."

Duan Jiqing arranged someone to help me record the funeral. When Han Da mentioned this, Duan Jiqing said without hesitation: "The total amount of 1,265 taels of money is collected, all of which are the people who have had their relationships in the past two years.

The gentry spent 482 taels before and after the funeral was held, and your brother had a total of 748 taels."

Thinking that the four brothers were not good to share the money equally, and it was not good not to share it, Han Xiufeng pondered and said, "Give it all to our mother. My father is gone, and my mother can't have some private money in her hands."

"Siwazi, I don't have to spend any money, and my mother has no place to spend money!"

"Brother, let me listen to this. I'll give the money to my mother. If I don't give it to her, how can you know where she didn't spend money? Maybe she wants to make a few pieces of jewelry to be distributed to my eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law.

It’s our Han family’s heirloom. Besides, there are more and more children. During the New Year, children will wish our mother a New Year’s greetings, so our mother must give them some New Year’s money.”

"Okay, then I'll go and tell my mother where the silver is hidden in a while."

"Don't hide it. In a few days, I dug it out and sent it to Magang's money house to exchange it for silver notes, and help you exchange it for a few thousand yuan, and then give it to her after it's changed."
