It was written on the divorce agreement that when Qiao Jiuwang was no longer able to work, the issue of retirement would be shared between the brothers Qiao Youfu and Qiao Jianhua and Qiao Jianguo.

Now Lei Honghua is paralyzed and Qiao Jiuwang is in poor health. Qiao Jianhua and his wife cook and take care of them at home. Qiao Jianguo sends 15 yuan to the family every month. Qiao Jiuwang asks Qiao Youfu and his brother to fulfill their obligations and give him 15 yuan each every month.

Qiao Youfu and his brothers refused to do it. What does it have to do with them if Lei Honghua is paralyzed? It's not like she has no children.

In front of the old branch secretary and Qiao Jincheng, Qiao Youfu said bluntly, "If we want to raise a child, we brothers can only raise Qiao Jiuwang at most, and if we have to share four parts, we brothers will take two parts, and the others can't come to us."

Qin Xue also said, "Qiao Jianguo should send you 15 yuan. Lei Honghua is his biological mother. If he doesn't go home, he will also pay Qiao Jianhua's share. He pays 15 yuan, and Qiao Jianhua takes care of it. If it is shared between the two brothers, it will be 7.5 yuan each. If 7.5 yuan is shared between two elderly people, each elderly person will get 3.75 yuan."

Qiao Youcai reacted, "Yes, I said at the beginning that we don't care about Lei Honghua, we only care about her. According to their share of the money, each of us brothers will contribute 3.75 yuan."

Qiao Jiuwang was so angry at his two sons that he stood at the door of the store and cursed at them.

Qin Xue put her hands on her hips and went up. "Fifteen yuan per person, you have the nerve to ask for that. Sixty yuan for four sons is enough to buy food to bury you two old guys, and you still ask us for fifteen yuan each. Do you expect to make a fortune by swindling us?

My family and Youcai's family together give you 7.5 dollars a month, and your other two sons give you 7.5 dollars a month. 15 dollars is enough for you to live well in the countryside. Ask around in this town and see which old man can afford 15 dollars a month for living expenses?

As for your step-daughter-in-law, she is the offspring of your children. When they were young, she made our family wealthy and blessed to help raise her and her children. Now she is counting on us to take care of her in her old age. Do we owe her anything? ”

"Seven dollars and fifty cents, if you want it, take it. If you don't want it, just do what you did before. If my man didn't have a conscience, he would have beaten you to death long ago."

Finally, the village party secretary and Qiao Jincheng mediated, and Qiao Jiuwang did not dare to do anything wrong. He obediently took the 7.5 yuan and went back.

Qiao Jiangxin heard about this incident later. Although she was unhappy, there was nothing she could do because even if she went to the police station, Qiao Jiuwang was still the biological father of Qiao Youfu brothers, and the blood relationship could not be denied.

What's more, the Qiao family still runs a shop in the town and people in the world sympathize with the weak. No matter what evil things he did in the past, people will only see that he is old and weak now.

So as long as Qiao Jiuwang doesn't do anything bad, seven dollars and fifty cents a month can be considered as a way to avoid disaster.

As time flies, the border battle confrontation has gradually developed from small-scale battles at the battalion and company levels to stable development with the coordinated efforts of all parties.

After 1988, large-scale military conflicts between the two sides have become less frequent, but that does not mean there are no fighting at all. During the confrontation, there are still small-scale confrontations such as fighting for single hilltops, fighting in cat-ear caves, and infiltration of agents and scouts from both sides. Gunfire is still common.

In October 1989, the border defense combat mission was transferred from the field troops to the border garrison troops, and the size was gradually reduced from the previous reinforced division size to the reinforced regiment size.

At this point, the war that lasted for more than five years has basically stopped.

Tan Qinglin had been worried a lot in the past three years and looked much older. In fact, he was five or six years younger than Gu Qingyong, and he still had many old illnesses.

"Mr. Tan is here. Please take a seat. I'll call Sister Qiao."

Zhao Xue, the lobby manager, was already very familiar with Tan Qinglin. When she saw him come in, she greeted him warmly.

After a while, Qiao Jiangxin came out wearing high heels.

The person has not arrived yet, but the call has arrived first.

"Grandpa Tan~"

Qiao Jiangxin skillfully made tea for him and looked at him attentively.
