Chapter 021 What's Wrong with My Divorce
When she heard that Bai Zhenzhu couldn't register her household registration even if she had a house in the city, Li Xiufen became anxious:
"Then what should we do? Now that you and Shuo Shuo have moved out of here, but have nowhere to go, won't you become illegal residents? If not, then you can move back home."
At that time, the boundary between rural and urban household registration was clear, and many rural people tried their best to move to the city in order to enjoy the welfare and convenience of urban residents.
In the past two years, the government has introduced a policy of "agricultural to non-agricultural", which allows the buying and selling of household registration.
White Pearl smiled and said:
"No, I'll just go buy a household registration. I have a house in Yuan County, and I can register as a resident after I buy one. It's not a hassle."
Zhang Minmin also remembered:
"Yes, yes, a relative of mine from my grandmother's side bought a household registration in the county town at the beginning of the year and spent more than 9,000 yuan."
Li Xiufen was shocked:
"More than 9,000. Is that so expensive?"
Bai Jingsi said:
"It's a bit expensive, but this is the only way for Zhenzhu to register. It will be convenient for Shuoshuo to go to school in the future."
Zhang Minmin added: "It seems that nine thousand is not enough now, Zhenzhu, you will know when the time comes when you ask, the prices are clearly marked."
Bai Zhenzhu touched Shuo Shuo's head and said, "Okay."
She remembered that the craze for buying household registration seemed to last only two years, and after that, the buying and selling of household registration was no longer allowed, which made it convenient for her.
After dinner, Li Xiufen packed up the things that Bai Zhenzhu bought.
I saw there was an extra piece of meat, but I didn't recognize it:
"Pearl, what is this? It doesn't look like pork."
"That's beef brisket." Bai Zhenzhu said as she washed her face, "Mom, soak some of the bamboo shoots you dried. I'll make beef brisket stewed with bamboo shoots tonight for everyone to taste. Tell the eldest and second sisters-in-law not to cook tonight."
Li Xiufen was so angry that she slapped her on the back:
"You're wasting money again. And beef, that thing is expensive and tastes bad. Why did you buy it?"
White Pearl smiled and said:
"I'm going to open a restaurant. If this dish is delicious, I'll make it a signature dish like the pickled fish."
After hearing what she said, Li Xiufen stopped talking and started to worry about the expensive beef and what if no one ordered the dish she cooked.
In short, she has a lot to worry about.
Bai Zhenzhu coaxed Shuo Shuo to take a nap, and then she took a nap for a while herself. She guessed that her eldest uncle and second uncles were about to wake up for their lunch break, so she packed her things and went to her eldest uncle's house first.
The Bai family was originally an outsider in Jinfeng Village. Old Man Bai's real name was Bai Dahai. He was originally from a small fishing village on the coast. His parents both died in an accident when he was a teenager. He couldn't make a living on his own so he joined the army. Later, he was injured while saving his comrades during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
After returning to China, he was taken home by his comrade-in-arms, who was Bai Zhenzhu's uncle.
While recuperating at the Li family, Old Man Bai fell in love with Li Xiufen. After they got married, they settled down in Jinfeng Village. A few years ago, the elderly people in the Li family had passed away one after another.
The names Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Jingsi imply that he misses his hometown, but there is no one in his hometown that he misses, it's just a thought.
I heard that Bai Zhenzhu got divorced. Yesterday, my eldest uncle and second uncle came to our house to find out what happened, but Bai Zhenzhu was not at home at that time.
The two uncles' houses are next to each other, so Bai Zhenzhu went to her second uncle's house first.
My second uncle and aunt were sitting under the eaves enjoying the cool air, while the others were probably still taking a nap.
"Second uncle, second aunt, are you awake?"
"Pearl is here, come and sit down."
Second aunt Feng Cui came over enthusiastically and took the things from Bai Zhenzhu:
"Come if you want, why are you carrying things?"
Bai Zhenzhu handed one of the bags to Feng Cui:
"I bought some candy for the kid."
Feng Cui glanced at the other bag in Bai Zhenzhu's hand. The plastic bag was transparent and the contents were clearly visible, exactly the same as the ones in his house.
"You're just being polite." Feng Cui hurriedly asked, "Are you really divorced? Did the Pei family pay you 40,000 yuan in compensation?"
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Yes, we are divorced."
Feng Cui's face was full of regret: "You are at a loss, aren't you? Your man has worked so hard to make money, but you divorce him at this time. Besides, it's not good for a woman to have a child after divorce..."
My second uncle Li Zhonghua interrupted with a threatening voice:
"Your wife's family, we've already divorced, and now you're saying these things on purpose to cause trouble for the child."
White Pearl smiled and said:
"It's okay, second uncle. I won't block it. It's a new society now. Even Liu Huifang on TV got divorced. What's wrong with me getting divorced?"
Then he said to Feng Cui, who looked unhappy:
"Then you two take a rest, aunt and uncle. I still have to go to my eldest uncle's house."
After saying that, he carried his things and went next door.
Feng Cui flipped through her things:
"The Pei family compensated her 40,000 yuan, and only gave this little thing to my uncle."
Li Zhonghua just didn't like to listen to her:
"It's all the child's love. You also said that she is a divorced woman with a child. Will she not live anymore?"
After saying that, he angrily picked up the hoe and went to the field.
Uncle Li Zhongguo.
Aunt Zhang Yufang scolded Bai Zhenzhu for a long time:
"Why are you buying these? Won't it cost money to raise a child by yourself in the future? If you keep being polite to your uncle's family, don't come to our house anymore."
As he said this, he went to wash the pot and make tea.
The tea making mentioned here does not mean making tea water, but making fermented glutinous rice tea. This treatment is only available when guests come.
Bai Zhenzhu quickly stopped her:
"Aunt, you still say I'm polite. Look at me. I'm not a special guest from anywhere. Please stop busying yourself. I'll be back soon."
"Then I'll pour you a bowl of water. It's so hot." He then hurriedly made a bowl of brown sugar water.
White Pearl looked around:
"Aunt, where are my uncle and Xiaojun?"
"It rained heavily a few days ago, and a ridge collapsed, so they went to build a new one."
My uncle has two daughters and one son. My two cousins are already married, and Li Jun is the youngest.
Bai Zhenzhu drank the brown sugar water and took out a hundred yuan from her pocket and gave it to her aunt.
My aunt refused to do it:
"You girl, we have money, and your brother doesn't have to pay for school. The school provides food and accommodation."
Speaking of her hardworking son, Zhang Yufang's face is filled with pride.
At this time, if a kid gets admitted to a military academy, it would be a real honor for the family.
Bai Zhenzhu deliberately sank her face:
"This is tea money for Xiaojun. He goes to study so far away. I don't know what to buy for him. Let him buy it himself."
After a long back and forth, Zhang Yufang took the money with a fierce face and told Bai Zhenzhu not to do this again in the future.
The braised beef with bamboo shoots made in the evening received unanimous praise, and both adults and children enjoyed it very much.
Two days later, Bai Zhenzhu packed up and took her son to Yuan County.
Bai Jingsi and Zhang Minmin were also there. They had nothing to do on holiday, so they thought of going over to help Bai Zhenzhu clean up.
Moreover, Li Xiufen packed a lot of things before leaving. In addition to bedding and clothes, she also packed a large bag of dried goods that were hung out to dry at home, and some bacon and pressed duck.
There were so many things that Bai Chenglei delivered them to the intersection on his bicycle.
After getting off the bus in Yuan County, Bai Zhenzhu found a tricycle to take her and her belongings directly to the storefront she had bought.
The proprietress had already packed up everything and placed a pile outside.
Her husband was also there. The couple were not the kind of people who would drag their feet. They handed the keys to Bai Zhenzhu and left with their belongings.
Bai Zhenzhu greeted Bai Jingsi and his wife:
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, come in."
Bai Jingsi helped to move the things in. Zhang Minmin looked up and down the stairs and praised the storefront for being well bought:
"It's big upstairs, too, with two bedrooms and everything. You can open your business tomorrow. Pearl, you're amazing."
