I have a thousand acres of space

My grandfather's generation was very poor.My grandfather was an only seedling, and he married my grandmother at the age of 40.According to my mother, my grandmother was a beggar and was taken in by my grandfather, so it was considered a makeshift family.

In fact, the so-called home is the two low thatched cottages where my uncle lived.

Later, with my uncle, I could barely live in the two thatched cottages.Later, I had a father, and they were 13 years apart. My uncle loved my father very much, and the relationship between the two brothers was quite good.

My uncle was very handsome when he was young, and my aunt didn't think he was poor. Although my natal family strongly opposed the marriage, my aunt resolutely severed ties with her family and married my uncle.

This situation shows that the two of them pay attention to their relationship and are very affectionate.Of course, the grandfather and grandmother were full of joy. After marrying the aunt into the house, accommodation became a problem.

Uncles and aunts lived in the west room, and grandparents and father lived in the east room, making do with it.For this reason, the stove was removed, and a small house was built in the yard as a kitchen.

Life is very difficult, and the family is still harmonious.Later my cousin was born, adding happiness to this poor family.

A few years later, my father also reached the age of starting a family.As soon as I met my mother, it was basically done.But I was worried about my grandfather and grandmother. Where would the young couple live after my father got married? It became a big problem.

The house must be built.

My grandfather told the village about this matter, and after getting permission, he built three more rooms on the west side next to the two old houses.

The house was built with adobe, and the adobe had to be made by itself.My mother hadn't gotten married yet, and my grandfather was getting old. This task mainly fell on my uncle, aunt, and father.They made bricks during the slack season, and the three of them were quite capable. They built three houses in half a year, and married their mother before the house was completely dry.

Of course my mother married into the new house, and my grandparents lived with my uncle and aunt in two thatched cottages.Uncle suggested that either they move to a new house, or grandparents move to a new house, they can't be crowded like this.

My grandfather suggested that my uncle and aunt move in and let them live in a new house.But my aunt raised a different opinion and was willing to let my grandparents live in a new house.Parents also agree.In this way, grandparents lived in the new landlord's house, and uncles and aunts stayed in the old house.

But I heard from my mother's complaints that the original decision was made because my uncle wanted to occupy the two rooms for himself to live more spaciously. If they moved here, only one room would belong to them, and the living room in the middle would be shared with their parents.

A family of 7 people ate together, maybe because of the daily trivialities, there were some small conflicts with each other, and each other had opinions, and it was the uncle who first proposed that the family should be separated.

Considering that the two brothers have a good relationship, the father asked the uncle to choose which room he wanted when the family was separated.The uncle may also want to show his generosity. He asked for two old houses and gave up the new house to his father, but the grandparents had to live with their parents.

There must be a place where grandparents live.Both elder brothers agreed with this plan, but the mother also had no objection.The son has no objection, the daughter-in-law has no objection, and the grandparents have no objection.Immediately, the village director was invited to write a document and testify.

Since then, my uncle and aunt still cook in the original small house, while my parents and grandparents built a new kitchen and started a new stove.

Originally, this matter was handled relatively satisfactorily, and they all thought that they would live in peace and harmony.

Shortly after I was born, my grandfather passed away due to old age, and I have no memory of my grandfather.According to my mother, when I was a child, my grandmother often watched me.

When my grandmother died of a heart attack when I was about 5 years old, the east room they lived in became vacant.

My uncle and aunt started looking for my parents, wanting to divide the house, saying that the old man's house should be divided equally between the two sons.

The mother took out the paperwork established when the family was separated, and argued hard.It was clearly written in black and white that the three rooms in the new house belonged to my father, and my uncle had no right to divide them.

The reason given by the uncle and aunt was that this issue was ignored at the time, and the distribution was unfair, and now he has come to find a later account.

Of course my mother didn't want to do this.Father usually listened to his mother, so he certainly wasn't willing to give up half a room to his uncle.

As for my uncle, the village director was called to ask for justice and to redistribute the houses.The village director asked my parents to make a concession. In the interests of fairness, I gave half a room to my uncle.His reasons also make sense.My cousin is in high school, and he should get married in a few years, so he must have a place to live.As for my young age, I can think about it later, and things have to be done in a hurry.

Mother didn't let them, these reasons are not reasons.So the matter was put on hold for the time being.The mother told the father that the uncle had a good relationship with the village director and would definitely support him.The father was a little shaken at first, but was reprimanded by the mother, and he was speechless.

Cousin struggled and was admitted to a university in the provincial capital.Not long after, my uncle and aunt also went to the provincial capital.According to my father, my cousin found a job for my uncle and aunt through his classmates. It is better to go to the provincial capital to work than to work in the countryside.So uncle and aunt left home.

Maybe it was because of the unhappiness about the house allocation. When they left, my uncle left a word for my father, saying that my father was not allowed to live in his two thatched cottages without his consent.

From then on, the two thatched cottages were locked until I bought them with money.

If you talk about the two brothers, there are no other conflicts, just this one thing.

"This house is so grand! It's better than those buildings in the provincial capital!"

Uncle couldn't stop admiring the house.Aunt followed suit.

"Our house is spacious, and there are five main rooms to live in. There is a kitchen, firewood room, and garage below. As far as the layout and quality of this house are concerned, it is among the best in our mountain village, three townships and five miles. , it’s no lower than the two-story western-style building of Chen’s house in the east, and his courtyard is smaller, not as spacious as ours.”

The father couldn't restrain his pride.

I asked my uncle and aunt how life is in the provincial capital, how is my cousin doing now?

Uncle didn't answer right away, and after sighing, he even wiped away his tears. Auntie seemed to be very sad, and she wept.

This aroused my curiosity and concern, and after repeated questioning, they finally expressed their grievances.

My uncle and aunt went to the provincial capital, and my cousin did find a job for him, doing odd jobs in a garment factory.Because they are too old to become regular workers in garment factories.This is 20 years.

They provided for my cousin who graduated from university, started working, and was about to get married, and lived in a rented house all the time. It was difficult for my cousin to find a partner.Bitterly, I bought a two-bedroom second-hand house, paid the down payment, and repaid the loan.
