The separation of the Jiang family came faster than anyone imagined. On the second day of the killing of chickens in the river, the elders of the Jiang family called some elders and cadres on the team to preside over the separation of the big property of the family. Make a clear division.

Because the old couple decided to live in the second room, the big head of the house in the family belonged to the old Erjianghai family. Among them, the room where the river couple lived and a utility room that was originally used for storage were allocated to the big room.

In other words, the west room of the house is now owned by the big room, and the original east room and the main house are owned by the second room.

The remaining five hens in the house account for two, and the pots and pans are evenly divided according to the head, and the food in the family is the same.

As for the deposit, Miao Caifeng didn't make a distribution because he didn't have a penny at home, and the more than sixty dollars that Jiangliu owed to the hospital were due to him. debt.

Jiangliu and Xu Xiuxiu did not object to this kind of separation, but it was because their husband and wife were too honest, but instead let the elders on the side as witnesses look down.

"Cooperating with the Liuzi couple to worry about this family, in the end, apart from the debt of a butt, did not get any benefits?"

It was an elder of the Jiang family who spoke, and according to his seniority, Jiang Chuangen had to call him an old uncle.

"Chuangen daughter-in-law, I rely on the old sellers to advise you, do not be too stern in doing things, chilling the hearts of children, acting like a filial piety of the husband and wife, can you guarantee that Haizi will be filial to you in the future?"

The old lady on the team is not without eccentricity, but it is extremely rare to be eccentric to the level of Miao Caifeng.

"Uncle, what did you say, Haizi and my filial parents are too late, how could we do that kind of disobedience."

Wang Xuemei is very satisfied with the current way of splitting. She knows clearly that the old lady must still hold a lot of money. These things will be left to them in the future, so other elders come out to speak for the big house at this time. She The first one disagreed.

"Xuemei is right, Haizi is a filial piety. Besides, our old Jiang family relied on Jianjun and Jiangdang to deliver incense. In the future, they will have to spend money to get married from their wives. As an elder, I also have to Think for them."

Miao Caifeng thought about it all night, no matter whether she was treated badly by the boss or not. Anyway, things are like this now. The boss is very likely to have no children in this life. For the long-term development of a family, she must take eccentricity to the end. Fight for more property for the second room.

As for the eldest son, they have hands and feet, and there is no burden from their children, and the debt they owe slowly is barely able to survive.

Miao Caifeng felt that she had set up such a way of breaking up for the sake of the overall situation. The others were just taking a stand-off from the standpoint of bystanders, and were not actually qualified to say such things to her.

"The old man and I can still work in the field now. There is no need for alimony for the boss and the couple. After 100 years, the main house we live in is also the second one. This family property is also enough to cover the cost of old-age care."

Looking at the dissatisfaction of the elders, Miao Caifeng went on to say: "After the old man and I are 70 years old and can't work, if the old people pay off their debts, they would be willing to pay some money to support the elderly. Yes, if he doesn’t give it to me, he won’t blame him, but if my father and I are seriously ill in the future, the boss who has to pay for the medical treatment must score a little. , Do you say that this way of separation is fair?"

As soon as these words came out, it was really hard for others to say anything.

Because Miao Caifeng's way of splitting is equivalent to binding the family's property to the future pension, who inherits more, and who pays more in the future, but is such a split really fair, not necessarily.

Everyone knows who is building the brick new house of the Jiang family now, and who knows why Jianghai Jiangjuan and his brother and sister are able to study.

At present, half of the Jiang family's wealth is attributed to the Jiangliu couple, but it is essentially wrong to use the value created by them to distribute family property.

But which of the older children is not coming here this year, helping parents to arrange the lives of the following siblings, the biggest one has always suffered.

What's more, Miao Caifeng's eccentric guys are also aware of it. Now she can make a step backward, showing that she does not need the Jiangliu couple to provide old-age pensions in the future, and has already relieved the couple a lot of troubles.

"Uncle, Xiu Xiu and I have hands and feet and are hungry and immortal. I know your concern, but since this is the decision of my parents, Xiu Xiu and I recognize it."

Jiang Liu felt that it would be better to break up like this. He, who was already in a disadvantaged position, felt even more pitiful. In the environment of public opinion, this pity is enough to compete with filial piety. Even if he does something in the future, everyone will have to First think about the grievances he has suffered over the years, instead of putting a benevolence on him and forcing him to compromise.

"Eh."

Jiang Liu recognized it. What can someone else say, can only pity for him.

"Chuangen, you will regret it in the future."

This is what Jiang Chuangen has heard the most today. Everyone feels that forcing such a filial child to centrifuge with himself is the most wrong thing he did.

At the beginning, Jiang Chuangen still listened to it, but it was much more audible, and he gradually became rebellious.

What happened, the guys decided that his second son would not be filial in the future, and what he said was also the old man of the river. Now everyone criticizes him with a brain, and it seems that his son is more powerful than the old man.

Anyway, no matter what everyone thinks, the separation has become a foregone conclusion.

******

The third team of the Red Star production team where they belonged has a large area of ​​saline-alkali land. This field is not suitable for the growth of crops such as rice and wheat, but it is particularly suitable for growing sunflowers. The sunflower seeds harvested every year can generate a lot of income for the team. For the sunflower team.

However, in addition to being suitable for sunflower growth, saline land is also suitable for thatch growth. The most troublesome thing on the team every year is to deal with a large number of weeds that are much more vigorous than sunflowers.

Thatch is worthless this year. Except that some women who can do hand-knitting work will take some thatch home to weave mats and straw shoes, they have almost no other economic value. They can only be used to burn fire, but the vitality of thatch is tenacious and cut. After stubble grows again, the roots will not be clean.

After absorbing the memory of the original body, Jiang Liu focused his attention on those thatched grasses classified as wild grasses, and thought about his recent income-generating methods.

Everyone knows that he needs to be recuperated, and Jiang Liu justly took a half-month leave from the captain Guan Daniel, and took advantage of these days of rest to transport the stubble of thatch back home and tile them in the yard In the open space.

"Xiuxiu, what does your family do with so much thatch?"

Some people are curious about Jiangliu’s behavior. If we want to weave baskets for mats, these thatchs are not necessarily a little more, so there are some people who are close to the Jiang family and simply find Xu Xiuxiu to inquire about it.

"You all know that my family can't stay idle. If the doctor told him to take a good rest, he wouldn't let go of the work in the field, so ah, he planned to cut some thatch and come back to make straw baskets and sandals, part of which was prepared for his own use. , There is still a part to get to the market to see if anyone is willing to exchange supplies."

Xu Xiuxiu passed on her husband Jiangliu's explanation to those who were curious. Since the gang of four was overthrown, the previously cancelled bazaar has been restored, and villagers can exchange excess materials in their homes when they rush to the big market. This is not illegal.

There are two big gatherings every month, not only the surrounding villagers will participate, but also people in the town and county towns will come to exchange vouchers for industrial farmers and other rural people with fresh vegetables and eggs grown on their own reserved land. article.

After listening to Xu Xiuxiu's explanation, everyone's curiosity was put down, but they instinctively didn't like Jiangliu's idea of ​​using straw baskets and other things in exchange for food or other daily necessities.

In fact, some people thought about it a long time ago, they knit straw shoes in exchange for other supplies, but they ignored one thing, that is, people in the city have more solid and comfortable cloth shoes and do not need straw shoes. Most of them are familiar with this craft, and the woven straw sandals can't be changed at all, only their own family can wear it.

Similarly, straw baskets made of straw are quite popular in summer, but a straw mat can be kept well enough for more than ten or twenty years or even longer, the demand is not large, and the cost of weaving a straw mat The time far exceeds its own value.

After several failed lessons, the people nearby didn't even bother to do this business. Occasionally cutting the grass, it was just for their own needs.

But Jiangliu really can't do anything else now. It's also good to find a little job to kill the time. Although everyone feels that this transaction can't be done, they haven't said anything to crack down on the young couple.

What are you doing now that the unregarded river is doing? He picked many wildflowers up the mountain, then sorted them by color, chopped them into flower mud, and soaked the dried thatch into the flower mud After waiting for a period of time, spread the dyed thatched grass under the sun again to dry.

This simple method has limited coloring. At the same time, because most wildflowers on the mountain are red and yellow, there are limitations in color selection. However, compared with a single yellow-green tone, it is still richer.

After the preparations were completed, Jiangliu started knitting.

In his life, straw knitting was a very popular industry. At that time, he and his grandfather depended on each other, and the grandfather and grandson took over the work of straw knitting. A straw basket can earn 8-15 yuan. If it is faster, grandpa The two Suns can compile five a day, making enough money for their daily expenses.

Of course, the straw weaving at that time was not simply straw weaving, weaving patterns, colors, shapes, and constant innovation. Traditional straw weaving products have no market.

At this time, when the river was weaving the straw basket, he added red thatch dyed from time to time. After spending the initial rustiness, his speed became faster and faster. More than an hour later, a round straw basket was in his place. Molded in the hand.

The straw basket is about the size of two slaps and less than ten centimeters in height. It resembles a fruit bowl full of fruits. What is amazing is the red thatch that he added to it. It just woven into a word, which looks extra novel.

Jiang Liu made a pair of such woven fruit compotes, and then set about making new patterns.

It will be the market in a few days. He wants to make the first batch and try out the current market.
