The dinner was simple, just noodles. Ke Xin took a look and immediately lost her appetite, but she was smart not to ask. If she had asked, she might have thought that he had something important to do and needed to eat noodles.
After dinner, everyone from my second uncle's family left, leaving only my own family, who were kept by Jiang Yongtian.
At the round table, Grandpa smoked rhythmically, the tea bowl in front of him slowly steaming. Jiang Yongtian, who was sitting next to him, coughed lightly twice: "Ahem... Now I want to talk about an important matter in our family that I need to discuss with you."
Jiang Xin and Jiang Shan looked at each other, wondering what big thing was going on.
Jiang Xin was thinking about his younger brother Jiang Shan's marriage, and Jiang Shan thought that the big event should be his sister's pregnancy, so Jiang Xin looked at Jiang Shan, and Jiang Shan looked at Ke Xin.
Ke Xin looked at the two brothers with puzzled expressions, so she turned her gaze to Liu Feiyang, who also looked confused: "Why are you looking at me?"
Is it necessary to tell his son-in-law about this important matter in the family? Liu Feiyang doesn't think that he is a dish that deserves such attention.
Jiang Yongtian: "Well... the big thing I'm talking about is that our family is planning to build a house. I want to know how we want to build it and how big it should be!"
After hearing that they were going to build a house, everyone's hearts suddenly relaxed.
Ge Shuzhen followed up on her husband's words and added, "Let's see if we can just split up the family. If we do, we can build the house together to save the trouble of relocating it later!"
The words "divide the family" shocked the two sons and also shocked the unsuspecting Jiang Yongtian. The grandfather sat there with a calm expression, smoking a cigarette.
Jiang Shan looked at his eldest brother and asked, "Were you the one who proposed to split up the family?"
Jiang Xin: ".....Didn't you say that?"
"I'm not married yet!" Jiang Shan replied with confidence.
So he was the only one who got married, so he was the one who proposed the separation?
Jiang Xin looked at Su Yan beside him and asked suspiciously, "Did you say that?"
Su Yan was even more confused: "It's not me, I haven't thought about it!"
So, everyone's eyes turned to Ke Xin and her husband. Ke Xin felt very uncomfortable under the resentful eyes of her two brothers: "Why are you looking at me? I'm already married. It's none of my business whether you split up the family or not."
"But if you don't raise him, I will!"
Jiang Xin glanced at Ke Xin and said, "I'll support my parents even if I have to sell everything I have. You don't need to worry about them. Just be filial to your parents-in-law!"
"Big brother is right. My parents have a son to raise them, so why do they need a daughter like you to raise them? If you want to honor your parents, we won't stop you."
It is rare that the two brothers united as a front and expressed their attitudes to the outside world in a consistent manner.
Su Yan thought that what Jiang Xin and Jiang Shan said was right, so she nodded vigorously: "That's right, I will take care of your parents, Jiuer, don't worry, we will take good care of your parents, and we will definitely take care of them no worse than you."
"Of course I'm happy. My parents have such filial sons and daughters-in-law like you. They will surely be very happy in their later years. I'm proud of you!"
There are filial sons, but it is rare to have a truly filial daughter-in-law. Ke Xin is already very happy that the sister-in-law can say this. As for whether she can do it or not, it depends on the future.
Ge Shuzhen smiled. She had just seen the children guessing who had mentioned the division of the family property. She had deliberately kept silent just to see how the children would react. The result...still satisfied her.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Since neither of you brothers wants to split up, then let's not split up."
Ge Shuzhen finished speaking in a resounding voice and gave her husband a look, indicating that he, the head of the family, should speak. As a result, Jiang Yongtian hid to his father's side and said, "You tell me, if there is anything wrong, I will correct and supplement it!"
Ke Xin laughed and narrowed her crescent eyes. Her father had learned his lesson. He knew that his words did not count, but he still said this in a roundabout way, giving her mother enough face and also finding a way out for himself.
Jiang Wuli looked at his son with a smile and shook his head slightly. He had been stupid for all these years, but he finally got smart this year. It wasn't easy!
Since she was asked to speak, she had to stand straight: "I plan to build a large yard, then divide it into several small yards, and then add a garden, a kitchen, a woodshed, and two guest rooms."
"We have one, Jiang Xin has one, Jiang Shan has one, and Ke Xin has one. We'll build a small courtyard to serve as guest rooms. I plan to build these courtyards around the garden. Each courtyard will have a kitchen and a house, and each courtyard will have a gate."
"This is to prevent the family from splitting up one day. If it's built this way, even after we split up, we can still avoid disturbing each other. What do you think?"
Ke Xin thought this was a good idea. When her brothers all had children, they would form their own family. They would go to their parents' yard to eat on weekdays, and then go back to their own yards to do their work. This way they would still have some private space, which was great.
However, the layout is similar to the houses with several entrances in novels, except that the layout of the houses is different.
Ke Xin raised her hand: "I agree."
She was the first to raise her hand to vote. Jiang Shan and Jiang Xin looked at each other and then raised their hands blankly. Jiang Shan said, "As long as we don't split up the family, it doesn't matter how the house is built."
Jiang Xin also thought so: "Second brother is right!"
"Mom, as you said, building such a big house requires a lot of money. Jiang Xin and I have saved some money, and I will bring it all to you later. We don't spend any money on food and accommodation, and we don't have much to spend. You can use this money to build the house. If it's not enough, you can make up for it."
Ge Shuzhen felt warm in her heart as she listened to her eldest daughter-in-law Su Yan.
So what if Jiang You married a literate daughter-in-law? She is not as good as my honest daughter-in-law. Look at her, she is trying to give money by herself. How many good daughters-in-law like her can be found in the whole village?
She smiled and waved her hand: "No, your father and I have money."
"You don't have to pay for the house. You just need to live a good life and give me grandchildren in the future. I can take care of your children while I'm still young. Hurry up!"
Su Yan blushed and nodded slightly: "I understand, mother."
After talking about Su Yan, Ge Shuzhen glanced at Ke Xin again, and saw her belly along her face. Before she could say anything, Liu Feiyang spoke first, "Mom, Ke Xin and I just got married, so we're not in a hurry to have a child. It won't be too late to wait two or three years."
Ke Xin looked at Liu Feiyang in surprise. Hadn't this guy been urging her to get pregnant a few days ago? How come he changed his mind in the blink of an eye?
Having been ignored for a long time, Qi Lu said at this moment: "Mrs. Liu should thank me. It was me who gave her the advice."
Ke Xin looked at Qi Lu and wisely didn't ask why. However, Ge Shuzhen and Jiang Yongtian couldn't sit still anymore and asked him one after another: "Why?"
