Zhang Xiuhua originally wanted to go home, but Aunt Wang held her back and asked her to wait a little longer.

Aunt Wang was still worried about her son. Because her son worked in the provincial capital, he had his household registration transferred to the provincial capital in order to eat commercial grain there. But she just heard from the team leader that his family, Tiegang, could not get the land. This was a complete mess!

When there was no one around the captain's peak, Aunt Wang squeezed in and said, "Captain, this is not fair. Tiegang is my only son. Even if he goes to the provincial capital, he is still my child. Why can't he get a share of the land?"

The captain was stunned. Yes, this situation is a bit complicated. Tiegang didn't get married. He moved to the city.

"Then wait a minute. I'll go to the commune tomorrow and ask the leader if a situation like Tiegang's can be divided?!"

Aunt Wang heaved a sigh of relief, "Okay! Ask!"

That night, the lights were on in every house, and all the adults gathered in the main room to discuss the division of the property.

No matter how well they got along before, when the time comes to separate, everyone will be a tough one.

Zhang Xiuhua lived nearby and could hear the quarrels outside. She couldn't hear them clearly, but she could feel that the villagers were quarreling.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't have anyone to quarrel with, because there was only her and her two children at home, and she couldn't find anyone to quarrel with even if she wanted to.

The next day, many people came to visit Zhang Xiuhua's home. They were all aunts who were close to her, and they all came to her to complain.

"How can that be possible! Just because I have so many children, the second branch of the family should get a bigger share of the family property? He is not married because he is not old enough. What does it have to do with us? We didn't stop him!"

This is because the second wife felt that she had raised the first wife's children for many years, but her own children did not have much food to eat, and the second wife felt that she was at a disadvantage. So she wanted to get more property.

"Your family is nothing. My uncle is even worse. He said that he will take care of the elderly in the future, and the elderly's household registration will be with them. Bah! Usually they are not very filial, but now they have taken advantage of the situation and started to show their courtesy. What were they doing before?"

This is because the second wife thinks the first wife is unfilial, hiding when things happen and taking advantage of opportunities. They are fighting for the elderly. After all, the family with more people gets more land. This situation is the root cause of conflict for most people.

There are only two things in dividing a family: money and people. Things like furniture, farm tools, pots and pans are secondary.

Zhang Xiuhua did not express any opinion and just listened perfunctorily.

Aunt Wang was eager to inquire, but she just listened to it as gossip. She had separated from the family a long time ago, so she didn't have their worries, and her only worry hadn't been resolved yet. What else could she do? Eat melons and watch the show.

However, she didn't watch the show for long. When the team leader came back from the commune, Aunt Wang was dumbfounded.

"The commune leaders have made it clear that we will distribute the land based on the people registered in the household registration book! The land will be divided according to the number of people in your family. Unless you let Tiegang move his household registration back! As long as he gets his household registration done by the beginning of next spring, we will still distribute the land!" The team leader was ruthless and showed no mercy.

At this time, the urban household registration could be transferred to the rural area. For example, the educated youth were transferred from the city to the rural area. On the contrary, it was not so easy to transfer from the rural area to the city because of the need for coupons and commercial grain, and it had to go through layers of review.

Aunt Wang was in a lot of trouble and complained to him, "He has a city hukou. If he transfers back, how can he eat commercial grain?"

The team leader waved his hand, "Then let's do it! He doesn't farm in our production team anyway. What's the point of having land? You two can farm thirty acres, isn't that enough?"

This sentence choked Aunt Wang.

The team leader left in a hurry, but before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by a member of the commune.

"What?"

Please ask him to go to the house to judge and help divide the family! Only if the team leader agrees, can they separate the households. After all, he still needs to write certification materials and go to the police station to separate the household registration.

For several days in a row, the team leader was invited to preside over the division of the family property. He was so busy that he had no time to rest and his head was about to explode.

Zhang Xiuhua is actually one of the most leisurely people in the village.

Xu Chunying was annoyed by the noise from the neighbors around her, so she came out too.

"I thought you had grown up at home." Zhang Xiuhua hadn't seen her for a long time and made a joke.

Xu Chunying waved her hands, saying, "I was almost frightened. What will I do if those people catch me for speculation and profiteering?"

Seeing her so scared, Zhang Xiuhua asked, "Are you still going to sell vegetables next year?"

Xu Chunying was really scared this time. She was only a hair's breadth away from life and death. This feeling was too strong. She still had money on hand, so there was no need to fight so hard. She shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'll see what happens."

**

A few days passed and Li Jianguo came back. Zhang Xiuhua told him about the upcoming land division in the village.

Li Jianguo nodded, "It should have been divided long ago. Did the team tell us how to divide it?"

"The amount of land will be divided according to the population in the household registration book. We will draw lots when the time comes." Zhang Xiuhua told the story of the recent family division in the village. Of course, in addition to the family division, there were also conflicts.

Li Jianguo sighed, "After I got married, my mother decided to let my brother and I separate early. People in the village didn't understand my mother. Now it seems that she is really wise. She knows the principle that things far away are fragrant, while things near are smelly."

Zhang Xiuhua also went to watch people divide their property at first, and everyone considered the issue from their own perspective, and you really couldn't refute it. Later, she stopped going because the noise gave her a headache.

Zhang Xiuhua told him about the money distribution at the chicken farm. "We divided more than 90,000 yuan. I have already divided the accounts. You can take the money and the household registration book to the capital and ask Jidong to help buy a courtyard house, right?"

Li Jianguo nodded, "Okay! The family has left over 10,000 yuan, which is enough for us to use. Can we use the extra money to buy a courtyard house?"

"Write both of our names on the public part?"

"Yes!" Li Jianguo said with a smile, "Maybe in the future we can settle down in the capital. The children all want to go out and mix with the outside world. We have a vast land and a sparse population. If we reform and open up in the future, the development may not be as fast as in the big cities!"

He was right. In the previous life, all the people from the north went to the south to work. Zhang Xiuhua nodded and agreed.

**

The excitement of the separation lasted for several days, until the people who went to work in the south came back and brought the separation to a climax.

The return of these strong laborers who went south to work means that the countdown to the separation of the family has officially begun.

Because these people came back, the quarrel escalated again.

Because these people did not come back empty-handed, each of them brought a huge amount of money. That is, an income of nearly 1,000 yuan. This amount of money is quite considerable for rural people. It is several times more than what they earn from farming at home.

The family was about to be divided, and the men didn't want to give the money to their second and third brothers.

But the second and third brothers also had something to say. The team leader stipulated that each household could only send one person. If they were not unwilling to work, why didn't they pay the public school?

This statement was well-reasoned and irrefutable. But the old man was biased and refused to let his son take out the money.

If the elderly do not treat their children equally, the other children will feel that it is unfair.

The direct consequence of this incident was that the children's academic performance dropped significantly.

Jilin was originally ranked in the top ten in his class. However, other students had family problems and did not do well in the exams, but he was not affected and ranked third. This was the highest ranking he had ever achieved.

Zhang Xiuhua was a little surprised. Jilin was very smart. But he was too lazy. He could only finish the homework assigned by the teacher. The rest of the time, he would not turn the pages of the book. He would rather sit and stare blankly. Moreover, this child was seriously biased in subjects. He was very good at math, but average in Chinese.

Zhang Xiuhua sometimes worries whether this child can get into university in the future? !

But he did so well in the exam this time, so in order to encourage him to keep up the good work, she prepared a sumptuous lunch.

Braised eel, which Zhang Xiuhua bought from a villager. They caught it while fishing in the river.

Some vegetables were added to the soup, and Zhuzhu and Jilin ate until their mouths were full of oil. Because they were a little tired, they ate while "slurping", and their funny appearance made her laugh.

Just when the family of three was enjoying their meal, there was a noise outside.

Zhang Xiuhua originally thought it was Aunt Wang, but unexpectedly it was Ji Donghe Youcai.

"You're back?" Zhang Xiuhua stepped forward immediately. "Are you hungry? Come and sit down and eat."

After Jidong and Youcai washed their hands, they pulled up chairs and sat down, while Zhang Xiuhua served them food.

She originally wanted to save this dish for two meals, and when they came back, she could just eat it all in one meal.

On the train, the two didn't eat or sleep well, but when they ate the food from their hometown, they felt like they were having a heavenly day.

Ji Lin couldn't hold it in any longer. He ignored the delicious food on the table and looked at Youcai secretly, "Brother Youcai, have you gained weight again?"

They went to the capital to see him during the National Day holiday, and he had only gained weight. Now he even has a double chin.
