Chapter 44: A Bad Temper (Page 2/2)

So after heating up the food, everyone gathered together to have the last reunion dinner.

Since it was Han's mother who served the food, there was no unpleasantness and everyone ate their own food.

After dinner and cleaning up, we started to separate.

Old Party Secretary Han, his eldest cousin Han Shijun, and Jiang Xiaogu's father-in-law, the team leader, were all invited.

"Shiguo just got married today and they are dividing the family. It won't be too late to talk about it tomorrow." said the old Party Secretary Han.

"It will have to be divided sooner or later, so why not just divide it among them today?" said Han's father.

Secretary Han didn't say anything, just nodded.

Han Shijun took out the account he had recorded last time and said, "The accounts were calculated last time. What we will divide this time should be the food and pots, bowls, and spoons for the family."

Unless you meet someone who is extremely biased and will just divide up his son and daughter-in-law and send them away casually, like some fair parents who will divide up the property among their sons and will take out all the things in the house.

Not only the money that was divided last time, but also the food and daily necessities at home, even the firewood, must be divided clearly.

There is a saying that a broken home is worth a fortune. Even if some things seem to be worthless, if you want to buy them again, they all cost money. Even if it is a bowl with a broken corner, you can use it if it can still be used. Otherwise, you will have to spend money to buy a new one!

So we need to make a clear distinction between them.

All the grain was weighed and then divided into three parts.

One copy for Han's father and mother, one copy for Han Shimin and Li Xia's family of six, and one copy for Han Shiguo and Jiang Qian.

But it is definitely not enough for Han Shimin and Li Xia's family of six. If they need it, they can go to the brigade to buy some to avoid having insufficient food. The brigade will leave some food for members to buy every year.

Of course, each company has a limited supply and cannot buy as much as they want. This is also to eliminate the possibility of speculation.

After the food in the house was distributed, they began to divide the chickens, the remaining eggs, and the pots, bowls, and other things in the house.

After sorting out the other items, when it came to the pots, bowls, and spoons, Li Xia couldn't help but say, "Today, my eldest sister and second sister each took a large bowl, and also brought two extra plates!"

Mother Han glanced at her and said, "What your elder sister and second sister took away should be counted as our share!"

"Mom, there's no need to do this!" Han Shimin said quickly.

Mother Han didn't want to argue, so she waved her hand and said, "Just do as I say!"

All the things at home were taken out and divided thoroughly.

But there are only two pots for cooking at home, and Han Shiguo said, "I and you, Dad and Mom, will use that one together. We are not at home much."

Both Han's mother and father agreed.

The two pots at home are both brand new. They were bought with the industrial receipts sent back by Han Shiguo, and they have only been used for a few years.

There will be some discrepancies after this division. Han Shiguo's youngest son will suffer a loss, but he is a soldier with good salary and benefits, so the current loss is not a big one.

After the money, food, pots, bowls, and pans were divided up, the only issues left were housing and retirement.

But the house was simple, with three rooms for each brother.

The three rooms in the west of Han Shimin's house were the ones they lived in, and the three rooms in the east of Han Shiguo's house were not occupied. They were built together.

Finally comes retirement care.

Li Xia was smart, so she asked, "How are we going to arrange for their retirement? The second son is not at home all year round, so the responsibility of taking care of his parents falls on us!"

No one refuted this because Han Shiguo was not at home. If anything really happened, it would definitely be his son Han Shimin who would take responsibility.

"I will give my parents one hundred yuan per year as pension in the future." Han Shiguo said. He had told his parents about this and also mentioned it to Jiang Qian before their marriage.
