Vol 2 Chapter 269: Split

As night fell, in the kitchen, Mother Zhang and his daughter-in-law prepared noodles in advance. The invited middlemen will come over and invite them to drink. They are all listening in the middle of the way, so it won't work without first preparing.
Zhangjiatangwu lighted two oil lamps, and placed pen, ink, paper, inkstone, yellowed books and abacus on the table. Following the patriarch, clan elder, old team leader and uncle Zhang of Zhangjia Village, the two brothers took their seats, Zhang Daddy called three daughters-in-laws to come and listen.
The Zhang family and even the children gathered together, all sitting quietly waiting for Zhang's father to speak.
Daddy Zhang looked at his children and grandchildren with a smile on his face. He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone is here today, so I'll just say a few words first. As the saying goes, there are big divisions, and big divisions. Your grandfather said before that your children will be married after one year and will be separated. . Originally the second child should have been separated long ago. For various reasons, it has been delayed until now. Fortunately, your brothers are friendly and you get along with each other and you have never quarreled about trivial things. Dad, today I invited the elders to come and join in. People divided the family for you. The division of the family is irrelevant. You are brothers and are connected by blood. No matter what, you have to help each other in the village and unite together so that the road ahead will be longer."
"Father, don't worry, we are separated, we are still brothers. We must take care of each other." Zhang Guofu said.
Father Zhang smiled and nodded, "Boss, second, and fifth, you are all biological children. In the future, you will use the money you earn by yourself, and you will have to go the rest of the way."
Seeing the three nodded, Father Zhang continued: "Before the separation, let me talk about the situation of our family. Our family depends on your three brothers to help parents. The boss works in the dark and hasn't stopped for a year. After all. The second child has his brains alive, looking around for a job to supplement his family. Xiaowu is going to hunt in the mountains to help the family. After so many years, the family has worked together to save money.
When it comes to savings, you have to say something first. The separation of the family is the parent's property. Dad cannot use the money you handed in after you get married as your parents' property. After getting married, I hand in the money, and I will return it to you according to the amount recorded in the ledger. First divide the money, and we will start to divide the rest. "
Father Zhang took a few books and gave them to the clan elders for review.
Several books were put together in the hands of the old captain. He used an abacus to add up the total number and found that there was no mistake, and nodded.
Mother Zhang stepped forward and gave the old captain an unlocked wooden box with three red envelopes with names written on it and sealed with red paper on the top.
The old captain took it and pressed his hand, nodding straight. He admired Zhang Lao Er and his wife for their meticulous and thoughtful work. In this way, the son will not be able to tell if he or she has more or less sex. He returned the three brothers Zhang Guoqing according to the above name.
Father Zhang waited for them to collect the red envelopes, and then said: "Okay, the next step is to split the family. All the money in the family is in the box. According to the rules uploaded by our old Zhang Jiazu, Xi Zi is the eldest grandson, and he has a lot of children and grandchildren. I am. Also divide the family's money into four according to the rules. You take care of the boss of Xizi's money, and you will return it to him when he gets married.
Seeing that Lin Juhua had been staring at Xizi, Zhou Jiao squeezed her hand and winked at her. At critical moments, don't make things happen and let people watch jokes. The Zhang family members are divided in this way, but don't be frank and say that the later you separate, the more profitable the grandson will be.
Lin Juhua smiled at her, and when no one mentioned it, she said silently: "Pension money"
Zhang Guoqing didn't care much about the separation of the family. He kept paying attention to everyone. As soon as he saw Lin Juhua, he knew that his father had forgotten to save the pension money. "Father, you haven't saved the pension money yet."
The old captain laughed and joked with Father Zhang, "Others divide the family and talk about support first, and then divide the money. Your father is better, he will divide the money first without mentioning the support. He is a god, and you will no longer need to support the three brothers. You take the money and leave. ."
His words made everyone laugh.
Clan Chief Zhang said: "The second child has three good sons and good daughters-in-law. I'm not afraid that no one will not be filial to his couple. Or I will be anxious soon. Tell me, how much pension money?"
The elder next to him hadn’t looked at the box. He looked at the box in front of the old captain and was startled.
Everyone, don’t help him to separate the family. Zhang Lao Er, why does your family have so much money?

The old captain smiled without interrupting. He knows the Zhang family's family best. In the early years, the three brothers Zhang Dad made a lot of money from hunting to build a large yard. When the children grow up, all of them will make money. Will Zhang Guoqing often go up the mountain and stay for a few days without money? Without money, the three daughters-in-laws will not all give high-priced dowry.
Father Zhang explained: "Here is less than a thousand. There are too many gross votes, which seems to be a lot. Our family has a lot of work points every year. After these years, there is no big expense at home, so I can save it slowly."
Patriarch Zhang was not interested in inquiring about other people's privacy, and asked: "How much do you plan to stay?"
Father Zhang had planned it a long time ago, and said: "Two hundred yuan per serving, eight hundred for four servings, and the rest to the child's mother. Okay, then I really have to talk about support." After speaking, he laughed first. .
The old captain hurriedly stopped him, "I haven't separated the family. There is also the yard, the family's furniture, pigs, chickens, ducks, and daily necessities."
Father Zhang patted his forehead and laughed loudly, "I told them in private, but now I forgot. This yard belongs to the boss, and the two yards next door have been divided. I will give them a set of dishes and a family in spring next year. Ten chickens, the food is distributed to them according to the head. All the things in their house are removed. The remaining pig in the house is waiting for them to warm the house. The chickens and ducks are not given. Uncle, you can see what else Is there anything left out? If it is divided, then I will continue to support it."
The old captain looked at the patriarchs and shook his head when they saw them, and said, "There is nothing left to divide. Your division of the family is really easy. You have three good sons, so you don't care about them. I'm afraid that the division will care about every bowl."
Father Zhang smiled and said: "We and my husband follow the rules and follow the boss. We usually go to someone's house for a few days if we want. No matter where you are, whether we go or not, we must prepare a room for both of us. people."
Zhang Guoqing hurriedly said: "I have discussed with my second brother. You and your mother can live in whoever you want to live in. You don't have to follow the eldest brother. My father and mother are not the eldest brother alone."
Zhang Guoqiang said, "That's what it means. You and your mother really intend to take care of the eldest brother, regardless of our two brothers? Alimony or something, needless to say. I have discussed it privately with Xiaowu. If he gives the money, I will give it. Food. Our two brothers are discussing."
Father Zhang shook his head, "You can't do that. You must write clearly about the division of the family. Or what family? Except for the literal, you can just give it as you like in the future."
All the people present here rolled their eyes at him, and should they write clearly when they are separated? The most unclear about the separation is his second child. That is, his son and daughter-in-law follow him filially. How can there be no more than a dozen chickens?
Dad Zhang smiled at the big guy and explained: "The four of us, father and son, have discussed it before. Before we moved, it was the child and his mother in charge. There is no way to distinguish the small things. We can only wait for them to move. Look again."
The patriarch nodded, if he has any comments, as long as the family feels good. Roll out the white paper and start preparing to write a letter of separation.
Father Zhang saw him pick up his pen and quickly said, "I will leave the issue with my elder brother. Anyway, I will ask them if I have no money. I am not afraid that they are not filial."
Zhang's words made the clan elders laugh again. Before they came, they knew Zhang Lao Er's family was well divided and there would be no major problems. Unexpectedly, it's so simple, seeing his three sons and daughters-in-law all smiling. Everyone is happy for them.
"Uncle, you have to add it. In the future, the two of us will share the medical expenses, and the three of you will take turns to take care of the elderly. A hundred years later, when we are gone, the expenses will also be shared."
Zhou Jiao saw that they were already preparing to write a letter of family separation, and the family separation was over. Pulled the corners of the two sisters-in-law's clothes and pointed towards the kitchen. The three wives went to the kitchen quietly to prepare the dishes.
Zhang Guoqing saw his mother depressed, and the audience did not see her smiling face. Knowing that separation is a sad thing for her. When the parents pull the children to grow up. When the sons grow up, they will be separated one by one, and the family will be divided into several parts. For his mother, the separation is far away, the son is a daughter-in-law ~ EbookFREE.me ~ no money on hand. It's a shortage of people and money!
Zhang Guoqing picked up Ping An and pulled Zhang's mother back to the bedroom, and said with a smile: "Mother, you think it's a game. Coaxing everyone to play. I didn't take it seriously. What's the division? Just make my father happy. Your old son doesn’t split up with you. We’re in the same group. My eldest brother is in his 70s and 80s, where do I need parents. Your old son is only 18, so don’t be fooled by your father. You have to stay with your old son!"
After speaking, lay down on the kang safely. Zhang Guoqing took out the two red envelopes he had just received from his trouser pocket and stuffed them directly into Zhang's mother's pocket.
Mother Zhang took out the red envelope and put it under his pillow, "Give it to you and keep it. If my mother has no money, I will ask you." After speaking, she quietly attached it to his ear and said, "My father and I will not be without money, privately. Some are already hidden underneath."
Zhang Guoqing gave her a thumbs up with a smile. How much money can his parents keep? The old couple could not wait to raise money for their son to buy a house in the county. Real private money is also limited, he didn't push anymore, and waited before returning to the county seat to pay.
Mother Zhang was so coaxed by the old son, she was happy. Also, the separation of her family is different from others. She doesn't worry about providing for the elderly. With an old son, who dares to show her face? I didn't like it, so I went with Xiao Wu.
"Stupid son, don't worry about your mother. Mother is fine, it's okay to be divided. If you want to go to your uncle's house in the future, you can just leave."
Zhang Guoqing nodded in agreement, "That's right. Tell me where you want to go. I won't let you walk and drive you off in the car. I want to chat with my old sister, and my son will pick someone home to accompany you. You It’s so good, you don’t have to be around the kitchen every day and you can’t get out. In a few days, our family will go back to the county seat. A year ago, the old son accompanied you two around to see and play."
Zhang's mother laughed loudly at what he said, but she was guessed by her wife, and really wanted to kidnap them away.
