Luo Fengtang looked away, and then asked Zhou Wang: "What's going on? It's so good, why did you separate your family?"

"My aunt, will she agree?" he asked again.

Yang Ruoqing, who was standing behind him, also had the same question.

This era is no different than modern times.

In modern times, when young couples start a family, they usually move out and live independently.

The elderly also have their own lives. They get together during festivals and festivals, or when they need the elderly to help take care of their children, and so on.

Separating families has become a common thing in modern times and can be accepted by both parties.

In these ancient times, especially in rural areas, it was a very taboo topic to talk about.

Bring up children for the purpose of being looked after in old age.

When the old people were young, they worked hard to give birth to a son, support him and help him marry a wife and start a family.

The idea is that in the future when I am old and can no longer work in the fields and cannot take care of myself, I will have my children and grandchildren by my side, who will never leave me, eat hot rice and drink a bowl of hot tea.

The family was divided and started a new one. What was separated was not only the stove, but also the sensitive and fearful hearts of the elders.

Therefore, almost most of the elders are unwilling to split up the family.

Lao Yangtou and the Tan family are the best examples. When Lao Yang's family separated, Lao Yangtou seemed to have died.

In the first half of the year after the family separation, Lao Yangtou instantly aged several years.

Fortunately, later on, the behavior of the children and grandchildren in each house made the old man feel relieved again, knowing that now that the family has been separated, the children should still be filial as they should be.

As for other families in the village or neighboring villages, the situation of the elderly is different.

The thoughts that were drifting away were brought back by Zhou Wang's voice.

At the table, Zhou Wang blushed and said, "Of course my mother didn't agree to the separation of the family. I insisted on it."

"I really can't stand my mother and my sister anymore. Even if I get clean and leave the house, I still have to live separately."

"No, it's not just me, there's also Xiao Huan,"

Zhou Wang said and glanced at Xiao Huan behind him, "Xiao Huan is also willing to come out with me and start from scratch together. Without relying on them, our life will be poorer and more miserable, but at least we will be free."

"Uncle, Tang Yazi, Qing'er..."

"I know that it is an unfilial act for me to forcefully separate the family, but I really can't stand it anymore. I don't want to follow them and eat soft food. I would rather go out and eat bran and wild vegetables by myself, and live like a man.

!”

After hearing Zhou Wang's words, Blacksmith Luo forgot to smoke the dry cigarette in his mouth, and looked straight at the nephew in front of him.

Luo Fengtang looked appreciative.

Yang Ruoqing, on the other hand, touched her palm directly.

"Cousin Zhou Wang, what you said is so good, so great!" she said.

"Congratulations, you finally woke up and realized that you shouldn't join them. I'm so happy for your awakening!" she said again.

Zhou Wang's face turned red, while Xiaohuan looked at Yang Ruoqing with a grateful face, twitching at the corner of his lips and stopping to speak.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Xiaohuan, just say whatever you want."

Xiaohuan bit her lip and looked up at Zhou Wang, as if asking Zhou Wang what he meant.

Zhou Wang said: "Tell me, there is no princess or maid here, we are all relatives."

Xiaohuan gained a little more courage, and her pale and thin face gained a little more color.

Then, she bowed gently to Blacksmith Luo, turned around and looked at Luo Fengtang, Yang Ruoqing and others, and spoke softly.

"To be honest, half of the reason why Zhou Wang said he wanted to separate the family is because I have been giving him the cold shoulder."

"I also know that a filial daughter-in-law should not persuade her husband to separate the family like this."

"But... I don't do this. I'm afraid that even if I die, the child in my belly will be involved."

Xiaohuan said, lowering his head and stroking his belly.

Wearing a thin cotton coat, you can't see your belly.

However, Xiaohuan's movements were very gentle, and her face was filled with the love and tenderness of a mother.

"My first child has already been born, and God gave me a second child right after that. I can't let them torment me to death again like the last time." She said softly.

"Hey, Xiaohuan, how many months have you been pregnant? Why are you pregnant again?"

Wang Cuilian came over in surprise, raised her hand and caressed Xiaohuan's belly, and asked with concern.

Xiaohuan was a little embarrassed and said: "I just found out, it's only been a month."

A month?

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, stepped forward, grabbed Xiaohuan's hand, and put her fingers directly on Xiaohuan's wrist.

Xiaohuan remained silent and allowed Yang Ruoqing to take her pulse.

After a moment, Yang Ruoqing took back her hand: "Almost."

Then, she returned to Luo Fengtang and gave Luo Fengtang an affirmative look.

Xiaohuan didn't lie, she was indeed pregnant.

Over there, Blacksmith Luo finally recovered from the waves of shock.

His eyes looked back and forth between Zhou Wang and Xiao Huan. He was happy because he was about to be promoted to uncle.

I'm sad because the Zhou family will be divided into two families from now on, and Da'e and the others will definitely have to make trouble again.

"Wang'er, please tell your nephew and wife to sit down and talk quickly. Don't be too tired." Blacksmith Luo said.

Then, he looked at the other people and said, "Everyone, please sit down and talk. Don't stand anymore."

"good!"

"Um!"

Zhou Wang helped Xiao Huan sit back, and Luo Fengtang also pulled Yang Ruoqing to sit down.

Wang Cuilian made tea for Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing again, and then found a stool to sit down and listen to everyone's conversation.

Blacksmith Luo then asked Zhou Wang: "Wang'er, are you and Xiaohuan really going to leave home?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Wang nodded.

"My sister said that she earned everything in the family, the house and the fields."

"If I want to separate the family and leave her and my mother behind, then I won't be able to get anything."

"I couldn't bear that tone, so I took my two clothes and Xiaohuan and moved to the entrance of the village and built a shack to live in." Zhou Wang said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Since you are leaving home, how can you still have money to buy those two baskets of gifts?"

Zhou Wang glanced at the two baskets covered with red cloth over there, and then looked at Xiaohuan gratefully: "This is Xiaohuan's contribution."

"Xiaohuan said, since we have set up a new stove and built a new home, we still have to pick up the relatives who shouldn't be thrown away."

"The old Luo family in Changping Village is my uncle's family. It's my mother's business if they don't move around with my uncle."

"As a nephew, I can't stop traveling with my uncle, so we used the private money that Xiaohuan brought when he came out of the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion to buy these gifts and come here specifically to visit." He said.

Blacksmith Luo looked moved and nodded repeatedly.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other and both felt that Zhou Wang had done the right thing.
