Chapter 391: Good or Bad
Catching the mouse is what matters.
After sowing the seeds, install the swing.
After installing the swing, I went to find clean glasses, flower arrangements, pennywort, green ivy, and spider plants, and placed them on top of the antique display cabinet against the wall at the entrance to the living room.
"Second sister-in-law, why are there so many geese in the backyard?"
"Your brother wanted to feed 20, but he didn't have that many, so he only sent over 15."
"Oh. What will the geese eat after a house is built nearby?" Jiang Xiu was just asking. She was still asking this after she had already bought the goods.
"I just planted the alfalfa seeds this morning. I'll be good to go in ten days or half a month. What do you want to say?"
"Second sister-in-law, when are you going to have another child?"
"You don't want Huaizhi and Huaishu anymore? Are you going to give them to me?" Gu Lixia pretended not to hear.
"No, I want to get pregnant again."
"Let nature take its course. Look, it's been almost four years since I gave birth to Huaixu and Huaizhou, and I still haven't gotten pregnant, right? Plus, I've been getting busier and busier with work, and I've even had less time to spend with them. Now they're not as well taken care of as you, their aunt."
"There are only a few children in the family, and who needs less care? I get up at night to check on Huaixu and Huaizhou, and they are always covered tightly with quilts. So, even if I don't have time during the day, I still give them enough care at night." Jiang Xiu retorted.
Gu Lixia nodded. It was all the system's help, even Huaizhi and Huaishu were the same, except when Jiang Xiu and Jiang Han took them to sleep together.
"Come on, let's go in and eat and see what your brother made this morning."
Gu Lixia took the basin to the bathroom to rinse.
Then went to the kitchen.
"Pancakes? Are you still frying them?"
"No, let's just eat it like this. Bring the food." Jiang Wen cooked alone.
"Okay, actually, we can ask Uncle Zhao to make another dining table. There are many people in the family, and one table can't accommodate them all. The adults should have one table and the children should have another table." Gu Lixia looked at the old table in the kitchen that the Jiang family had used for more than 20 years.
"Then make another dining table, chop down this table and these benches and use them for firewood." Jiang Wen also knew that this table could never accommodate all the people sitting at it.
Before, there was one table in the main room and one table in the east side room.
"Done. It's time to eat, kids." Gu Lixia brought the pancakes and shouted, and the others came out one after another.
"Mom, I knew it a long time ago. I could smell it." Huai Xu and the others came in from the back door. While following a few uncles to exercise in the morning, they were thinking about what to eat today.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dad." After washing his hands and face, Huaizhou went to the kitchen and got his own bowl of porridge.
"It's not hard. Are you tired?" Huai Xu and Huai Zhou didn't go out for exercise in the morning before. After moving in, the house was either not suitable here or there, so they never went out.
After exercising for less than a week, the couple massaged their arms and legs on the first night and continued on the second day. They have been doing this for almost a week.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Huai Zhou took the bowl out.
Jiang Wen scooped up the last pancake, took the plate and went to the restaurant.
After dinner, Gu Lixia sent those who were going to work or school in the city first. Today, she went to the Jiangjia Village Brigade Headquarters to attend a meeting and divide the land.
Ge Jun and Wang Shuguo followed, and Gu Lixia went to the branch secretary's house first.
"Lixia is here, hurry up and prepare food in the main room." Jiang Dongliang's wife, Hu Tao, came out to pour water and saw Gu Lixia and the other two. She raised her voice and started shouting.
Jiang Dongliang and accountant Jiang Debang were sitting in the main hall of Jiang Dongliang's house, counting money and planning to buy another tractor.
Hearing Gu Lixia's arrival, two people stood up and came out to greet her.
Gu Lixia had already walked over. "Uncle, business. I'm going to delay production this morning. I've made a decision about spring plowing, grain, and the division of land. This area will be under my management, from spring planting to autumn harvest."
"Pay enough to the state, leave enough for the collective, and the rest belongs to the person in charge of the land. They can manage it independently and be responsible for their own profits and losses. They only need to pay state taxes and collective reserves, and the remaining profits belong to them personally."
"Is it okay? Not everyone is hardworking. There are many lazy people in our village." Jiang Debang was the first to react.
Gu Lixia glanced at Jiang Dongliang and said, "If we want to get this done, the first step is to divide the household registration books. There are many wealthy families in our village. They have grandparents, several sons, and then the grandchildren are married."
"Every married couple has a separate household registration. For example, the grandparents and the son who is taking care of them in their old age share one household registration. Of course, they can also be separated. The remaining married sons will each have their own household registration booklet. Unmarried children will stay with their parents."
"As the old saying goes, too many people make for bad food, and too many pigs make for bad food. Think about it."
"Young people don't know how to live." As soon as Gu Lixia finished speaking, Jiang Dongliang's first thought was that it was not possible.
The accountant knew the situation of each family best. Jiang Debang spoke up, "There are 117 households in our village, big and small. Every big family has at least a dozen small families under it. Didn't Uncle Zhao divide up the property among his family members at the beginning of this spring? They are doing well. One mu of land yields 180 kilograms of grain per year. Our village has 517 mu of land. Of course, the actual amount is much higher than this."
Seeing Jiang Dongliang's hesitation, Gu Lixia said, "If you don't want to, I'll go to Zheng Village next door. It's not that Jiangjia Village is the only one that needs to implement this policy, but because it's close, I came here first."
"No need, I'll go call for help." There is also a radio box in the village.
As soon as Jiang Dongliang shouted, people quickly gathered because the broadcast was saying, "Everyone, don't go to the fields. The Revolutionary Committee is here. Everyone, go to the wheat field. Hurry up, there's a great opportunity, first come, first served."
"Second boy's wife is here, have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
Gu Lixia was not one to waste time, so she asked Jiang Dongliang to shout, "Everyone over 55 years old, please step out. Hurry up."
"Me, 59." Jiang Damao was the most active.
Gu Lixia directly said to the accountant Jiang Debang, "Uncle, you understand the situation. Write the head of household, Jiang something, age, spouse, and which son you will support in your old age. Write them together, one person per line."
"I'm living with our boss."
"Who is the eldest child in his family, and how many of his children are married?"
"Jiang Fugui, three sons and two daughters are all married. The youngest son got married last winter."
"Okay, ask which family you're living with and write it down. As for the remaining two families' younger generations and the other sons, even if they're separated, just write down the rest."
"What? It's divided, but we won't split up." Jiang Damao's wife Liu Hongxia heard it and howled.
Gu Lixia looked at Jiang Dongliang, who shouted, "Be quiet. Do you still want to stay in Jiangjia Village? It's because you're relatives that you come to us first when there's good news. You guys are so ungrateful."
