Separate Houses

Lu Sheige asked: "Are the remaining rooms enough for the five families to share?"

Although she really wanted to live in a room by herself, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do so this year.

Lu Quan hadn't figured out how to divide these rooms yet, so he hesitated: "How do you think we should divide them? Do you want to get a separate room for you?"

Although Lu Xiangge is a girl, in the eyes of outsiders, she is the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Xiaosi, a boy.

It is actually inappropriate for a boy of this age to live with his sisters, but back on the ship, families almost always lived together, so there were no such things.

"I'm afraid it's not suitable. I'd better live with my eldest sister and the others. Dad can just get me a small bed by myself."

"Why isn't it appropriate?" Lu Quan didn't understand for a moment. Why was it inappropriate for his own children to live alone in a room?

"If Uncle Li and Grandma Chen want Brother Ping'an, Li Tantan and Li Cancan to live with me, what will Dad say?"

Lu Quan was stunned. He really didn't expect this. After all, in everyone's eyes, Xiaosi was just a boy.

"Then I'll give you a hard time. You'll live with your sisters first. When spring comes, everyone will build their own houses. Then you will live in the west room, and your sisters will move to the east wing. How about you live in the east wing, and the east wing will be larger?

some."

In fact, it's not much bigger than the east-west room, just the width of a large corridor.

"Anything is fine, let the sisters choose when the time comes."

As long as he has his own room, Lu Sheige doesn't really care which one. Anyway, after Uncle Zhang and the others move out in the future, the house at home will still be enough.

"Dad, since we want to accommodate everyone, there will definitely not be enough rooms. So instead of dividing the rooms into family units, the three large warehouses at the back will be divided into single-sex bungalows. The middle room will be for the boys."

Lu Quan thought about it and thought this method was good. Otherwise, the houses at home would not be enough for seven families.

Why did Lu Xiangge set aside a separate room for boys to live in, but not for girls? It’s because the Lu family has the most girls among the seven families, with three daughters, then Chen Yaoyao, and the Ma family’s Ma

orchid.

As for boys, from childhood to adulthood, there are more than a dozen boys in seven families.

Lu Xiuge didn't ask the reason, and she could have guessed it even without asking. Those who escaped from the flood were almost all young and strong, including boys at home. Most of those who died were old people, women, and children, and children

Most of them are girls.

Later, although everyone escaped from the flood and continued to multiply, girls were born one after another.

But poverty, hunger and cold claimed the lives of most of them.

The only ones who can stay are the healthier boys because of their parents' preference.

This is the tragedy of this era. The poorer you are, the more frequent wars are. The more frequent wars are, the higher the survival rate of boys is than that of girls.

It is a small wild dock, and it is the same in every rural village, including those living in towns, where the living conditions are slightly higher than in the countryside.

The other six families were very grateful that the Lu family could lend them their house.

No one will stand up and find fault at this time, saying that one family cannot live in one house or anything like that.

Although such a big house is made of mud walls, its roof is covered with tiles, something they never dared to think of before.

It is the dream of all of them to live in such a house after autumn!

Chen Yaoyao and Grandma Chen can live in a separate room, and most people have no problem with it.

Grandma Chen has a good temper, and her son-in-law tried her best to save her on the boat, which shows how important this old lady is among her son-in-law.

Although the seven families have different surnames and different clans, because there is an elder of such an age, they will come to Grandma Chen to resolve any minor conflicts on weekdays.

Grandma Chen's slow words could always make the two families who were originally as angry as cockfights finally turn their feud into friendship.

Even Mrs. Li Guanggan, who is a bitch and a mean-spirited person, is very obedient in front of Grandma Chen.

It can be said that without Grandma Chen, the seven families would not be as united as they are now.

The only person who came up with an idea was Malanhua's second aunt. She grinned widely and pushed Malanhua without smiling: "Lanhua, go and sleep with you. Don't you two have the best relationship?"

"

She was the daughter-in-law of Ma Lanhua's second uncle. When they fled famine the year before last, she and her son were the only ones left in the family. Later, she and Ma Lao Er became a family. After they got married, they even found Ma Lao San a daughter-in-law. Last year, she and her son were married.

Added a grandson to the Ma family.

Second Aunt Ma probably felt that she was a great contributor to the Ma family, and she was always bossing around the Ma Lanhua siblings. Even Boss Ma would give her a thumbs up on weekdays.

Malanhua was pushed by her second aunt, staggered, and almost fell out, but it was Malan's quick eyesight and quick hands that grabbed her clothes and kept her from falling.

In this way, Malanhua's clothes were riddled with holes, and a large piece was torn by Malan's head on her shoulders.

The half-grown girl, who would be planning to get married in two years, had a large piece of her clothes torn off, and her thin face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Boss Ma put his hand on Ma Lantou's head and said, "Your sister's clothes have been torn. What is she wearing?"

After saying that, he didn't care whether his daughter was embarrassed or not, he just smiled at Grandma Chen and said, "Auntie, look, why don't you let Lanhua and Shake sleep?"

Grandma Chen didn't say yes or no, she just turned around and told Chen Yaoyao: "Yaoyao, take your sister Lanhua to change clothes."

Malanhua's eyes were red with tears in her eyes and she didn't dare to let them fall. She just covered her shoulders with her hands and followed Chen Yaoyao to the east wing.

She didn't have the clothes to change, and the outfit she was wearing was the same thing she was wearing last summer when she had no clothes to wear, so her brother Malan took off his clothes and gave them to her.

One summer day, Ma Lan only wore a pair of big underpants until the frost. Boss Ma didn't want his son to be cold, so he bought him a pair of old clothes.

Malanhua and Lu Xiaoqing are the same age. At first, Malanhua's mother risked her own life to push her daughter onto the boat.

The four people who escaped from the Ma family were Ma's father and his son, plus Ma's son and daughter, and Ma's second newlywed daughter-in-law didn't even climb up.

As the only surviving girl in the Ma family, Malanhua is not very popular with her family.

Ma Laoer felt that if it weren't for Ma Lanhua, his pregnant wife could have boarded the ship. Ma Laoer felt that if it weren't for this money-losing granddaughter, he would be able to bring more food. Until his death, Ma Laoer thought

He didn't even look at the granddaughter. He felt like he was starving to death because he had an extra mouth for the granddaughter.

Ma Laosan was still a young boy at that time and didn't have any big feelings.

Boss Ma didn't know how to say anything. There were only six people in his family who survived, and his family accounted for three. He really didn't have the face to speak for his daughter.

The only person in the family who is good to Malanhua is her twin brother Malantou. If he hadn't obeyed his mother and hugged his sister tightly and never let go, Malanhua might have been thrown off the boat by Ma Lao.
