It was rare to see meat on the table today, so Liu Guixiang picked up a piece and gave it to Zhang Cui. "Xiao Cui, eat some meat quickly to replenish your body. You've been working hard taking care of Xiao Bao and the children lately."
Zhang Cui looked at the meat in front of her, her eyes dull for a moment, "Thank you, mother."
Seeing this, Wang Guoqiang also gave the meat in his bowl to Zhang Cui, "Wife, eat more."
The children were not to be outdone and also took a piece of meat from their bowls and gave it to Zhang Cui.
Zhang Cui looked at the meat in her bowl, her eyes reddened, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, everyone."
Liu Guixiang smiled and said, "We're all family, what's there to thank for? Come eat quickly, after you finish eating, your father has something to say."
When everyone heard this, they began to eat seriously.
After dinner, Liu Guixiang stopped Zhang Cui from packing up and said, "Xiao Cui, wait a while. Let your father explain the matter first."
When Zhang Cui heard this, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and sat down quietly.
Captain Wang looked at everyone staring at him, and he raised his head to glance at them and said softly, "I've been discussing with your mother that you're grown up enough to live on your own. When I call the third brother and his family back tonight, we'll divide the family."
Wang Guoqiang and his brother couldn't sit still when they heard this. "Dad and Mom, how can we divide the family? They say that as long as you are still here, we won't divide the family either."
Wang Guofu also added: "Yes, Dad and Mom, why didn't you discuss this with us first? Why did you suddenly say you wanted to split up the family?"
Captain Wang glared at them both and said, "You're grown up now, you both have your own children, and it's time for you to manage your own families. No need to talk about it anymore, I've already discussed it with your mother."
Wang Guoqiang saw the determined expression on his father's face and knew he was serious. He sighed and thought of something else. "Then you have to live with me, Dad and Mom."
Zhang Cui was also stunned by Captain Wang's sudden decision to split the family. Zhang Cui couldn't say how she felt. Although Liu Guixiang was really good to her, who doesn't want to be the head of the family? But when she heard Wang Guoqiang's words, she quickly spoke.
"Yes, Dad and Mom, you can live with us." Zhang Cui did not hesitate. After all, now when a family is divided, people usually live with the eldest or youngest child. Zhang Cui did not have any objection.
Wang Guofu also said: "Dad and Mom have to come with me. My wife has done too many wrong things over the years, so I should make it up to Dad and Mom."
When Wang Guoqiang heard this, he started arguing with his second brother: "What do you mean by following you? Then Dad and Mom must be following the eldest brother."
When Wang Guofu heard this, he became dissatisfied and wanted to argue back.
Captain Wang looked at the two brothers arguing with each other, feeling relieved in his heart, but on the surface he said, "Alright, your mother and I won't follow anyone. We're not even seventy or eighty years old yet, so there's no need for you to worry about us. You just need to go out and live your own lives."
Seeing that the two brothers Wang Guoqiang wanted to say something, Captain Wang said directly: "Okay, this is all discussed with your mother. Why do you still need your mother to worry about you when you are so old? We will talk about it after the third brother comes back in the afternoon. Now, go do what you need to do."
When the others heard this, they didn't dare to say anything and started to put away their bowls and chopsticks.
The little kid who had seemed to have no presence at the beginning was saying something nearby.
Si Ya looked at Da Bao and the others sadly, "Since the family is splitting up, do we have to separate? I won't be able to come and play with you anymore."
Sanya touched Siya's head and said, "Even though we've separated, you can still come and play with us."
Daya also hugged her youngest sister and said, "Yes, if you want to come and play with your brothers and sisters, you can come to them anytime. Separation only means that we no longer live in the same place, but it doesn't mean that we can't play together."
Because Wang Pan'er was gone, Daya smiled more often, and her aunt and grandmother didn't ask her to do any work. Daya finally had the energy that she should have at her age.
Since Erya was punished last time, she has indeed become a lot more obedient. She helps with housework from time to time, takes care of Siya, and has a much better relationship with the children at home.
In the afternoon, everyone got off work and came home to find that Wang Jiangong's family had already returned, and there were two elderly elders from the village at home.
A few people went in first and said hello, and then waited for everyone to come in and sit down.
Captain Wang said to Liu Guixiang, "Go and get the things out."
When Liu Guixiang heard this, she took out a booklet and a box from the room and placed them on the table.
"This is the money you've given to our family over the years. I've registered it all. This is all the money we have in our family, a total of 4,543 yuan."
Captain Wang took the money and said, "Originally, each family should get 1,300 yuan, but your child is already this old, and a lot of this money was given to us by the third child. So, each of your two families will get 100 yuan, and your mother and I will get 643 yuan."
After that, he divided the money in his hand into four parts, looked up at the three brothers and asked, "You have no objection, right?"
The three brothers hurriedly shook their heads, "No problem, no problem."
Seeing that they had no problem, Captain Wang continued, "Okay, when you have money, go out and build your own house. I've already marked out the land for you. You can start working after the autumn harvest. You just need to give me and your mother 20 yuan each year. Our mother is still able to work, so we don't need you to give her food. As for who we will follow in the future, we will decide when the time comes."
Every time Captain Wang said something, the secretary next to him took notes. When Captain Wang finished, he handed the note to Captain Wang. Captain Wang took it and thanked him. "Do you have any questions? If not, please sign it."
The three brothers looked at the paper and said, "No problem." Then they took a pen and signed on it.
Then he gave it to the two elderly elders he had invited to the house to sign, and the family was divided.
Captain Wang gave each of the two elders and the secretary a bag of pastries and sent them out.
The brothers took the money and remained silent. Wang Guofu said, "It's all my fault. Otherwise, we wouldn't have split up so soon."
Wang Jiangong said: "Second brother, this is none of your business. In fact, mother mentioned the matter of dividing the family to me before."
Wang Guofu looked at Wang Jiangong in surprise. Wang Jiangong noticed the looks from his two brothers and explained guiltily, "But at the time, my parents said we'd have to wait a while, so I didn't think of telling you. It was actually my second brother's fault, not mine."
When the two brothers Wang Guoqiang heard what their younger brother said, they both laughed. They also figured it out. Even if they had separated, they were still a family and would not stop contacting each other in the future.
After the three of them figured it out, they went to the kitchen to help together. However, one could still vaguely hear the three brothers arguing about who would live with their parents in the back.
