Chapter 7, the uncle comes to have a child

When I got home, lunch was not ready.

But the figure of my mother appeared in the kitchen.

Jiang Xiaochuan was a little surprised. It was not time to get off work yet, so why did my mother come back early?

He walked to the kitchen door and shouted to it, "Mom, why did you get off work so early today?"

Yang Yuemei, who was cooking, saw her son, wiped the sweat from her head and said, "Oh... the grass in the field has been pulled out, and there is no work now, so she is back. Just pull it out again in a few days."

"Oh, where is the dad?" Although he was a little resistant to this stepfather, there was no way. He had to bow his head under the roof.

I can't lose a piece of meat after calling it a few words.

"Oh, I'm going to patrol. Secretary Jiang said someone stole wheat seedlings, so this year's patrol team was ahead of schedule."

Every year when the food matures, there will be some rabbits, mice and even wild boars to steal food, so the village will form a patrol team to patrol every autumn harvest season.

However, in addition to small animals, it is also to prevent people from stealing food, which is not uncommon.

However, Jiang Xiaochuan felt guilty when he heard this.

"Yeah, do you want to help..." Seeing his mother working so hard, he asked.

But I guess he doesn't need to do it.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Grandma Jiang, who was busy beside her, said, "No need, you have nothing to do, just go and play..."

He could only give up after hearing Grandma Jiang's words.

When I returned to the room, my brother had not come back yet, so I thought I had to build a stove in the space so that it would be convenient for cooking in the future.

I just do it when I think about it, but it's because I can't stop being bored.

I inserted the door and flashed into the space. After entering the space, I looked at the wheat seedlings planted before. I was a little sluggish before, but now I am standing tall and well.

Only then did he feel relieved.

When he was washing river clams by the river, he collected a lot of stones by the way, just to use them to make a stove.

I dug some soil with a shovel and mixed it with water, then wrapped it on the stone, and built it bit by bit. Soon a simple stove was ready. Just wait for the stove to dry thoroughly.

But there is no firewood in the space, so you have to go to the nearby woods to pick up some dry firewood in the afternoon.

I wonder if the smoke will not dissipate if it is made in the space?

He thought with a black thread, "I won't smoke myself to death, right...? Probably not... Otherwise, there would be a lack of oxygen here."

I feel like this shouldn't happen.

After packing up the soil on his body, he was about to check the condition of the wheat seedlings.

There was only a burst of shouts heard.

"Okawa, open the door. Okawa, do you hear it?"

After listening carefully, it seemed that it was his mother Yang Yuemei.

He hurried out of the space and opened the door.

Sure enough, it was his mother.

Pretending to have just been asleep, rubbed his eyes, and yawned and asked, "What's wrong with mom? Is there something to do with me?"

Yang Yuemei shouted anxiously, "Xiaochuan, your uncle and your second uncle are here, saying that you want to go back, can't you go back with them?"

"Uncle, second uncle? Where did I come from?" Jiang Xiaochuan asked in confusion.

Although his stepfather Jiang Dahai also has a surname, he is not from Jiangtai Village.

They were at home and the family fled here.

Suddenly he figured out who Yang Yuemei said was the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and he should be the brothers from his biological father.

Then he asked in confusion, "Mom, didn't they drive us out back then? Why did you want us to go back?"

Yang Yuemei looked back and then whispered quickly. "Don't worry, you don't have time to explain. No matter what they say, you and your brother should not agree to go back to Zhoujia Village. Have you heard?"

"Oh...Okay... Then why are you calling me? Isn't it enough if you don't agree?" This made him a little confused.

"Go to the main hall, they insist on talking to you and your brother in person. Remember, no matter what they say, don't agree." After that, he pulled him to the main hall.

Jiang Xiaochuan recalled the matter about the original owner and the second uncle on the road.

The original owner's biological father was named Zhou Mingxin, and he had seven brothers and sisters in total.

Boss, Zhou Mingli,

The second brother, Zhou Mingyi,

The third brother, Zhou Mingxin, is the original owner's father.

The fourth brother, Zhou Mingzhi

Lao Wu, Zhou Mingren,

Etiquette, righteousness, faith, wisdom, and benevolence. In this era, those who named this name were also somewhat cultural.

It’s always more elegant than iron pillars, iron balls, and dogs.

The Zhou family is also a legend in Zhoujia Village.

The Zhou family has always been at the bottom of Zhoujia Village. Since the third brother joined the army, the family has improved slightly.

However, the rise of the Zhou family began after the third brother died.

In five years, the Zhou family moved to the county town one after another, and they all became formal workers in the city and had a job as a job.

But these people do not have their own fifth uncle and sister-in-law, and they are still in Zhoujia Village.

Three years ago, when the eldest uncle Zhou Mingli and the second uncle Zhou Mingyi and the fourth elder Zhou Mingzhi took the initiative to drive Yang Yuemei and her son and daughter out, only the fifth brother Zhou Mingren and the younger sister Zhou Minghe strongly disagreed.

But in this era when elder brothers were like fathers, how could the two of them resist the decisions of several brothers?

Jiang Xiaohe, who has experienced various scripts in his later generations, thought of several possibilities in his mind.

There is even one possibility in my mind.

As they thought about it, the two of them arrived at the door of the main hall.

There was only a sound of words coming from inside, "Brother Jiang, why are you Liu Ye determined to say that. Don't regret it."

After a while, another voice came, "Brother Jiang is the master of the One-word Nine-Dao. Tomorrow, you can send the things here quickly. I'm afraid..."

Speaking of this, the voice came to an abrupt end because Yang Yuemei and Jiang Xiaochuan had already walked into the house.

When I entered the door, I saw a few people sitting in the main hall. Two slightly fat middle-aged men were sitting on the long bench beside the wall.

He was wearing a labor cloth, but it looked relatively new and had no patches. It seemed that the other party was living a good life, with two bottles of white wine and a box of pastries on the table.

Nowadays, you need wine tickets when buying wine, unlike homemade sweet potatoes in rural areas that burn. You don’t need tickets for that thing, but they are not delicious. Pastry tickets also require pastry tickets.

"Dad, grandma, are you looking for me?" Jiang Xiaochuan came in and ignored the two of them, but said directly to Jiang's father and grandma Jiang who were sitting there.

The two brothers of the Zhou family sitting next to him were a little unhappy. The second brother Zhou Mingyi shouted directly, "Jiang Xiaochuan, why are you so rude? Don't you know how to say hello when you see your uncle and second uncle? Is this how your mother teaches you?"

When Jiang's father, who was about to speak, saw the other party's mouth open, he didn't say anything.

Jiang Xiaochuan sneered, "Uncle, second uncle? Why don't I know that I have uncle and second uncle?"

When Zhou Mingyi heard Jiang Xiaochuan's words, he looked angry and said, "Bastard, your father is my younger brother, why am I not your second uncle?"

"When I rushed my mother to leave with us and occupied my land, why didn't you say that my dad was your younger brother?" He was full of disdain for the words of this second uncle.

When he was fine, he wanted his family to go as far as possible. If something happened, it would be too late to play the emotional card? He was sure that something happened to him, and it was related to the original owner's father Jiang Mingxin.

"I…"

Seeing that the second brother was about to continue talking, Zhou Mingli, who was next to him, hurriedly stopped him. Now is not the time to argue. "Okay, second brother, stop arguing, we were wrong at that time."

Then he said to Jiang Xiaochuan, "Xiaochuan, it was your uncle and second uncle that were wrong. Your grandmother kept talking about you before her death, hoping you could go back."

"So I'm here with your second uncle this time, and I hope to take you and Xiaohe back."

"Look at your grandma's wish before she died, you can help him fulfill it." As she said that, she squeezed out a few tears.

Yang Yuemei, who was standing next to her, was anxious, but there was no way. In this era, in the countryside, children usually followed the man, and even if her husband was gone, she wouldn't be able to take any of the three children away. If she hadn't been driven out at the beginning, she wouldn't be able to take any of the three children away.

Jiang Xiaochuan signaled his mother not to worry.

The original owner's grandmother is indeed good to her and her many people, but she has a conservative concept and follows her husband when she gets married and her son when she gets old.

So when several sons asked to drive Yang Yuemei out of the Zhou family, she couldn't object.

"Oh...so...but I've lived well at the Jiang family... Besides, grandma has left, what's the use of us going back?"

The red face ended, it was time to go on stage with a white face. Zhou Mingyi next to him was instantly angry, "You are unfilial. If your father was there, you would definitely not do this."

This is a bad thing in rural areas, and filial piety is greater than the sky.

But at this time he cannot retreat. He has to earn benefits for himself. This benefit is not money, nor land, but freedom.

"Okay, no matter what you say, I won't go back. You drove us away at the beginning, not what we wanted to leave ourselves. It makes sense wherever we say..."

"You..." The second brother Zhou Mingyi was so angry that he couldn't speak. Indeed, it was his brothers who drove them out at that time, so it was a bit useful to use it as a filial piety, but it was not very useful.

My father and grandma Jiang who had been sitting next to him without saying anything, listened to the few people, your father died and your grandma passed away. Although I knew that they were not talking about them, I still felt quite disgusted.

Grandma Jiang was immediately dissatisfied when she heard that Jiang Xiaochuan would not agree to go back, "Xiaochuan, you and your brother can't just eat at home, you can't do anything, and your family can't bear it. You and your brother can still enjoy your happiness when you go back to the city."

The 200 yuan she didn't want to get flew away. You know, 200 yuan in this era is a huge sum of money for the countryside.

It is a great idea to have a family of 20 yuan a year when they work hard. Although they can work to earn centimeters for their family in the future, when will they earn 200 yuan?

So the two have to leave...

Although Jiang Xiaochuan didn't know what benefits the Zhou brothers promised, it was obvious that Jiang's father and Grandma Jiang did not want to keep the two brothers.

If it were a girl, Grandma Jiang might still stay for the dowry. The boy is related to blood, so she wished the Zhou brothers to take it away.

The only problem now is the account. I and my younger brother are too young to have a single family. Unless in special circumstances, I and my younger brother can only be entitled to the name of any brother in my uncle's family, so they still have to suck blood on their brothers.
