Quick Wear: I'm Wandering in My Little World

Chapter 577: Be a non-troublemaking mother-in-law 2

There were two hurried footsteps coming from the gate. It must be Tian Laogen calling for the doctor. Zhang Xintong quickly lay down. She couldn't act like nothing happened. She had to pretend.

Tian Laogen and the doctor hurried into the room, and Zhang Xintong slowly opened her eyes. She didn't look at the doctor, but instead glanced at Tian Laogen, whose weather-beaten face looked more like he was 48 than 60.

Although he was a little old man when he left the last world, he looked like a delicate little old man who was sheltered from the wind and rain when he was young.

Zhang Xintong pretended to be speechless and closed her eyes again.

The village doctor's surname was Zhao, and his medical skills were quite good, inherited from his ancestors. He carefully felt Zhang Xintong's pulse and found only that she had been suffering from a long-term deficiency of the body, not that she was dying as Tian Laogen had said.

"Laogen, your wife is fine for now, but her health has been poor for many years, so she needs to rest and replenish her body."

Tian Laogen had been terrified just now, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he heard she was alright for now. Resting would be easy; she wouldn't have to do any work anymore. Supplementing would also be easy; the children were all married now, free from burdens and free to eat well.

"That's good! Thank you, Doctor Zhao."

"You're welcome!"

Tian Laogen paid the medical fee, sent Doctor Zhao out, and hurried back to the house.

"Old lady, what do you want to eat? I'll make it."

Zhang Xintong is only 47 years old, it’s really speechless to call her an old woman!

"Laogen, I want to eat chicken noodle soup"

The original owner hadn't eaten all day, so Zhang Xintong was really hungry. Tian Laogen was very happy to hear that she wanted to eat chicken noodle soup. Being able to eat meant good hope.

"I'll go kill a chicken and cook it for you right away."

Tian Laogen left the house after he finished speaking. After he left, Zhang Xintong sat up. She heard a heartbreaking clucking sound coming from the chicken coop and wanted to go take a look.

The original owner's house was a three-room tiled house, with two rooms for living, and the middle room for the kitchen, as is common in rural areas. The original owner and Tian Laogen lived in the east room, while their youngest daughter, Tian Xiaohua, lived in the west room.

Walking out of their house, there's a three-room tiled house on the left, home to the eldest brother's family. To the right are two three-room tiled houses: the second brother's family lives next to the original owner, and the third brother's family lives off to the side. Each house is about 10 meters apart, neither too far nor too close.

The houses all faced south, had no walls, and stood four to a row. Vegetables were planted in front of the houses, and peanuts were planted in the tiny space behind. Each toilet was in the back, not far away, but there were mosquitoes in the summer and freezing cold in the winter.

The chicken coop was in front of the vegetable garden, and there were five chickens in it, one male and four females. Tian Laogen was trying hard to catch the chickens, but the five chickens ran very fast, unwilling to die. Tian Laogen was sweating profusely, but he still couldn't catch them.

Zhang Xintong secretly took out her phone and took a picture of this scene. This was the first time he had seen her like this. Dark history! He had to save it.

After taking pictures of Tian Laogen, Zhang Xintong took a selfie. She looked really old in the album.

Zhang Xintong used her spirit to lock onto a hen, preventing it from moving, and Tian Laogen finally caught it. He killed the hen after it left the coop to avoid scaring off the other hens, which would prevent them from laying eggs for several days.

When Tian Laogen saw Zhang Xintong coming out, he quickly asked her to go back.

"Old woman, go back to the house quickly. It's windy here and you can't stand it."

Zhang Xintong was obedient and went back when told to.

"it is good!"

The family hasn't split up yet, and all meals are eaten at the original owner's place. In rural areas, parents usually don't split up the family, but Zhang Xintong doesn't want to worry about it, it's too troublesome, so she still has to divide the family property for them.

Their family has some income from farming, and the second son has some income from military service in recent years, but it has almost been spent on building a house and getting married, so there is not much left.

Zhang Xintong took out the small cloth bag and counted it. There were 1532 yuan in total, which was really small. A worker's salary these days is around 100 yuan per month, so this amount is really not much.

The original owner's family basically never went to the eldest daughter Tian Dahua's place. The son-in-law was the eldest son of the workshop director of a textile factory. His family was well-off, and although he could not help his daughter, he did not go to take advantage of her.

Tian Laogen moved quickly, bringing in a large bowl of fragrant chicken noodle soup that looked like it had been prepared with great care. He brought a small table and asked Zhang Xintong to eat on the kang.

The old man’s cooking skills are good and the food tastes very good. Zhang Xintong finds his weather-beaten face much more pleasing to the eye when she looks at it again.

Zhang Xintong ate half a bowl and couldn't eat the rest.

"Lao Gen, you eat the rest."

Tian Laogen looked silly, and smiled happily when he saw Zhang Xintong eating half a bowl of rice.

"I won't eat it. I'll save it for you. Eat it later when you're hungry."

Although our family's conditions were not particularly good, we could still afford white flour. It was just that chicken soup was rare, so we didn't kill chickens all the time.

"I don't want to eat the leftovers. If I want to eat, you can give me more."

Tian Laogen was very happy to see that she was in good spirits. Zhang Chunling married him at the age of 19 and gave birth to their eldest son, Tian Dazhuang, the following year. At first, the family was not well-off, and Zhang Chunling and he supported the family together. It was hard to imagine that his delicate, bright and beautiful wife worked in the fields with him.

Tian Laogen loves and is very grateful to his wife. In his previous life, Zhang Chunling, who was possessed by an evil spirit, bullied both the heroine and him, but he didn't say anything and kept coaxing her.

Tian Laogen didn't want Zhang Chunling to be angry, so he moved the noodles in front of himself.

"Okay, I'll eat it. I'll serve you more when you want more."

Zhang Xintong watched Tian Laogen eating noodles. Although his face was really old, the more she looked at him, the more she liked him. This is probably what it means when a lover sees beauty in everything!

Zhang Xintong went down to the kitchen and brought Tian Laogen a bowl of spiritual spring water. The old man still needed to take care of his health.

"Drink the water after eating the noodles"

"it is good!"

There were only the two of them at home, and during this period of spring planting, everyone in the family went to work in the fields. In order not to disturb the original owner, the three children were also taken away.

After eating the noodles, Tian Laogen drank the water. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the water brought by the old woman was a little sweet. After drinking it, he felt energetic.

Before Tian Laogen could think about it, Zhang Xintong's voice rang out.

"Laogen, I want to discuss something with you."

"Old woman, you say"

"The third son is married, and the three sons all have their own families. Let's divide the family home when they come back today!"

Tian Laogen was a little stunned

"Why do you suddenly want to split up?"

"Nothing, just tired. The children are grown up now, let them live their own lives! We old couple will live on our own."

Tian Laogen thought about it and agreed. Although the parents said that the family should not be divided, the children were all grown up and always ate from the same pot, so fighting was inevitable. It would be better to separate them. The three sons all lived nearby, so they could still see each other after the family was divided. If there was anything, they could just call them.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. How do we divide this family?"

"Each person has three rooms in the house, and they already live there. Whoever lives there gets the land. These days, land is allocated based on population, two mu per person. The eldest family gets eight mu; the second family gets six mu. When the second family's wife gives birth, she'll get it back from the village when she registers her household registration; the third family gets two mu. We'll get it back from the village when her wife's household registration is transferred; ours gets six mu. Xiaohua's land belongs to us. When she gets married and her household registration is changed, the land will naturally be returned to the village. We still have 8 yuan left. Each family gets 6 yuan, and we'll keep the remaining 6 yuan to support Xiaohua's education."
