On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, it is the day when every household sacrifices the Kitchen God to send God back to the Heavenly Court to report their duties. [ ] Everyone sends a lot of good words to the Kitchens in the highest central organization of the Heavenly Court, praying for good weather, peace and peace in the country, peace and prosperity for the whole family, and everything goes well.

Due to folk customs, it is particularly important. As the sky is dawn, the rooster is still standing on the branches of the treetops, raising its beautiful tail, illuminating its crisp and pleasant singing voice. Some families in nearby villages have set off firecrackers, accompanied by the rising smoke from cooking

, exudes a refreshing smell of cannon medicine, breaking the tranquility of the winter countryside for a while, and opening the prelude to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

Wu Xiaojun got up early in the morning, cleaned the kitchen with his mother, had breakfast, prepared steamers and chopped wood, and renovated the steamed bun noodles prepared yesterday during the steaming festival. He worked for a long time and was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He had just arrived at the hall.

Pulling a small stool to sit down and rest. When the door outside sounded, accompanied by the sound of a bicycle, the second sister Xiaomei took her two little nephews into the yard. Wu Xiaojun quickly got up to meet her and picked up her little nephew who had just turned one year old.

, asked, "Second sister, why are you here?"

"I had steamed the steamed bun the day before yesterday. I was idle at home. Come and see if my mother had steamed it. If there was anything to help me."

"You happened to be here. Today, I steamed buns. I just mixed the noodles again. Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, you came. Hurry up and talk to our father in the main hall and have a rest."

Xiaomei parked the bicycle and came to the house to sit next to his father Wu Pingshun. Her eldest nephew Dongdong had already gotten off the back seat of the bicycle and ran to Wu Pingshun. She threw herself on her body and touched her shirt pocket. She said in her mouth.

He kept saying, "Grandpa, give me a dime to buy candy."

Wu Pingshun's eyes narrowed into a slit with joy, "Dongdong, can grandpa give you two cents?"

"Dad, don't give your child money. Let him know that he needs money to buy things at such a young age, so he can't spoil him."

"A child, he is ignorant, so he is happy if he gives him a gift."

"Grandpa is so nice. I'll go out to buy candy and give it to you." He ran out with the money.

"Xiaojun is here too. A few days ago, I met my second sister-in-law Qiuping and returned to her parents' home. She said that the eldest brother told others in the village that he wanted to trap the land in the north to build a house for the world and get married. I wonder if you are listening in the village

Did you say this? And Qiuping also said that they also want that piece of land, and it is convenient for them to be separated by the east and the west." Xiaomei asked as she looked at the two of them.

The residential land in Kengbei was originally a wheat farm for the Wu Pingshun family. On the south side is the largest pit in the village. It usually accumulates a lot of water to raise fish. After the eldest brother Wu Pingming grew up, his father gave him the northern half of the world.

He built a house and built a house, and in front of Ping Ming and himself, he decided to use the apricot tree as the boundary and the southern half of it was given to himself.

Shortly after the implementation of the household contract policy, the eldest nephew Wu Xiaoliang and the eldest son Wu Xiaofu built a house elsewhere, but it was not occupied. Later, when the team divided the homestead, Ping Ming cut off the apricot tree that marked the land area in advance, insisting that

My father didn't say he wanted to give Pingshun a piece of land until the pit was all his. No matter what he said, he didn't agree to give it to Wu Pingshun. For this reason, the two quarreled and made a big fuss in the brigade, and the brigade cadres came forward to mediate, whispered

He said all the good things Pingming did not agree. Wu Pingshun also refused to give in and took himself

His mother and his eldest girl Wu Xue called to the brigade to testify. The mother still remembered it freshly and told the situation in detail, but Wu Xue insisted that she didn't know that this was the case. Wu Pingshun was so angry that she had been in a row for five or six years.

Never had any contact with Wu Xue. The brigade cadres saw that the mediation was invalid and left the matter privately on the grounds that the housework was resolved by themselves. In addition, they divided Wu Pingshun's homestead at the entrance of the village. This was the land left by their ancestors, and they had to do so no matter what.

Ping Ming was cheating on his own, and he was unable to defeat Wu Pingshun.

The second son Xiaoqi has married a wife, and he still lives together and has not built a house to separate. Xiaoqi is more honest and timid. His wife Qiuping is also a person like Genxian. She is self-centered and cares about her.

It is often annoying to talk without any stimulation. If he builds the house alone at the entrance of the village, more than 200 meters away from the main village, once he is bullied or stolen by others, it will be too late to call people in the village. If that is the case, it will be effective

The couple had endless annoying things to say, not only complaining about themselves for the rest of their lives, but also harming him.

Wu Pingshun thought about it repeatedly and thought that he would never build a house to the entrance of the village, but if it was not built to the land in Kengbei, there was indeed no other place. But Pingming, this guy, always refused to give it to him, just talking about it.

He couldn't help but think about it, but after thinking about it, he just gritted his teeth and became hard. While Ping Ming and Xiaoliang were on business trips to do business, he asked Xiao Fu and Xiaoqi to force the soil to build bricks overnight. Wu Pingming

When the father and son returned, seven layers of bricks had been built on the foundation of the wall, and mud walls were about to be built below.

Wu Pingshun's kindness and good intentions were not recognized by Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi knew that Pingming was arrogant and unreasonable and was afraid that he would often cause trouble after living with him as a neighbor, and that life would be difficult, and he was unwilling to put his own.

There was a house built there. I had to build a house at the entrance of the village, so I had a few quarrels with Wu Pingshun. After all, Wu Pingshun was the head of the house, and forced Xiao Qi to build a house in Kengbei. Xiao Qi couldn't twist his thighs, so he had no choice but to do so.

He had to agree to build the house together. From then on, as Xiaoqi had expected, Pingming would find troubles from Xiaoqi from time to time, and Xiaoqi poured all the dissatisfaction and resentment on Wu Pingshun and the cracks between father and son

Deeper day by day.

When Wu Pingming and his son saw that Wu Pingshun had already built a house in front of their home, they were angry and angry. They picked up the guy and scattered the bricks they had built like crazy. How could Wu Pingshun give up?

, carrying the grapple hook, you have to work hard and strive for peace and brightness. Many men, women, young and old in the village came to watch the fun.

Unfortunately, Wu Pingshun was beaten by Xiaoliang and was bleeding from his head. He couldn't stand up. Wu Xiaoliang said fiercely, "What are you? You openly rob our house to build a house. It's impossible to lose your life.

A bandit, you don’t even have dog shit in this place. It’s all mine and I won’t give you an inch. After you finish all the bricks you have built, you will throw them into a pit. You can get out of your own if you have the ability.

"As he said that, he kicked Wu Pingshun a few more times.

Wu Pingshun was beaten by his nephew, ashamed, angry and anxious. Several elders couldn't stand it and pulled him up and sent him to his third brother Wu Pingchun's mother's house. Then Wu Xiaoliang was called home by his grandmother. Wu Pingshun was called to the house by his grandmother.

As soon as the effect was seen, he was furious and picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board and threw it at Xiaoliang. Xiaoliang could not quench the back of the knife just hit the bone on the right leg. The pain was "Oh" and "Pu" and kneeled on both knees with a "plop".

When he reached the ground, Wu Pingshun picked up the rolling pin and hit him on the back, but Wu Pingchun grabbed his wrist.

Grandma cried and said, "Xiaoliang, you are not young anymore. How is your uncle treating your father and your brothers and sisters? You should know best in your heart whether you have any conscience to attack him.

When you beat him and scold him, have you ever thought about who often went to see him when your father was in jail? Your father missed you pitifully and who was the one who got up to five o'clock in the middle of the night to take you there?

? Your father is not at home, who is there in Nanhe in the twelfth day of the twelfth month?

Covered? When you married a wife and separated, your father didn't even give you pots and pans. Did your uncle watch you go to the street to buy it for you in the rain pitifully? Your mother is so

Did your uncle ask people to borrow money to take you to Pingdong for treatment in serious illness? Have you forgotten all these things? What's more, that piece of land was passed down from our ancestors, and your grandfather also acted as a

He said in person with both of them that I think not only your father Pingming is a bastard, but you are also a bastard, but also an ungrateful beast who is inferior to a pig or a dog."

Wu Xiaoliang endured the pain, knelt on the ground without saying a word, constantly wiping tears and listening to grandma whispering, feeling very ashamed, and also felt that his father should not eat alone, and he should not beat him with a stick.

The uncle cried and hugged his legs and said, "Grandma, it's me that was wrong. I shouldn't beat the uncle. It's my fault. You just beat me up quickly."

"I'm afraid of getting tired of hitting you. You can say good things and let your uncle build a house?"

"Let, let, let, let, I will never stop him again. Then I will go back and tell my father that I will give the land to the uncle and let the uncle build a house with peace of mind." He turned around and knelt down in front of Wu Pingshun and begged Wu crying and begged Wu

Pingshun said, "Uncle, you have a lot of adults. Because I am the one who has always taken care of me when I grow up, I will forgive me for my stupid things this time. I will never be disrespectful to you again.

Now.”

For the children among the younger generation, Wu Pingshun's most optimistic and favorite is Wu Xiaoliang. The young man is smart and smart. The two of them often go out to do some speculative business together. Seeing his pitiful and sincere repentant look, he was very

I felt distressed, and felt weak and sad for a moment. I said angrily, "Don't kneel on the ground, get up quickly, think carefully about what your father did, is it that your dead grandpa said is useless at all,

It doesn't count anymore?"

Wu Xiaoliang discussed with his father in the middle of the night, and finally Wu Pingming agreed to let Wu Pingshun build a house in front of his door, but he proposed a harsh condition. The part on the roadside of the village entrance must be replaced to him according to the width of the north of the pit, and said, "The village entrance is

The land of the north and south is ten to eight feet two, and the land of the north is three to six feet eight. Wu Pingshun reaches seven to four feet from south to north, and the rest is his." Otherwise, he would not agree. Wu Pingshun does not know the reason.

I just thought that Ping Ming should forgive and understand it in order to find a way out for himself and deliberately make things difficult for him. As long as he was asked to build a house in Kengbei, it didn't matter what conditions he had to ask for, so he agreed to his conditions.

After a few days, Xiaofu Xiaoqi and others found that Ping Ming was constantly measuring the land from south to north at the entrance of the village, which was a bit suspicious. I don’t know what he wanted to do. Anyway, the land was dead, so he could measure whatever he wanted.

I didn't take it to heart.
