Chapter 77 Jiang Hai is back
"Uncle Wu, come home quickly, my dad is back."
Jiang Hao was lying on the kang holding Shi Luo and preparing to do something bad when he heard his nephew and niece knocking on the door and shouting.
Shi Luo pushed Jiang Hao, who had buried his head in his arms, and said, "You should go back. You've been staying at home these days. It's not easy for your brother to come home to visit his family."
Jiang Hao stood up reluctantly and said, "Okay, then I won't come over these few days. You have to eat on time. If you go up the mountain, go with Li Zhe, Xu Qianjin and the others."
"Don't worry, hurry up and leave, your nephew is about to break my door."
Shi Luo felt that Jiang Hao was young, but he was becoming more and more talkative.
Jiang Hao had no choice but to open the door, take Jiang Dong's hand and go home.
When I got home and entered the main room, I saw Jiang Hai sitting on the kang.
"Little brother is back. Here, this is for you."
After Jiang Hai finished speaking, he handed the last big bag beside him to Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao took the bag and said, "Brother, I'll put the things back first and come back later."
After saying that, he took his things and went back to the house. He was very puzzled to see Jiang Dong following behind him.
"Your father is back. You've been missing him for a long time. Why are you always following me instead of accompanying him?"
Jiang Dong closed the door tightly and said stealthily, "Uncle Wu, the package my father gave you is bigger than the ones he gave to my grandparents and my mother."
"That's it. You came in with me just to talk about this. Shouldn't everyone be used to this?"
Jiang Hao didn't even open the package and put it directly on the kang, thinking that it would save him from having to pack it up when he went back to get it from Shi Luo, so he could just leave it there.
Jiang Dong's voice became even quieter. "That's not the reason. I followed you because I just heard Grandpa and my dad say they wanted to split up the family business."
"What, what did you say? Did you hear it right?"
Jiang Hao was shocked when he heard this. You know, nowadays it is the mainstream that parents do not separate the family.
What has upset my father? Could it be that He Panzhi, who was clamoring for a separation of the family some time ago, was upset?
"I definitely didn't hear it wrong. My dad even told grandpa who was going to take care of you. Then grandma asked me to go get you back, and I didn't hear anything else. Actually, a few days ago, my mom whispered to me that grandpa seemed to be planning to divide the family property and that he had started to put everything in order."
Jiang Dong almost swore to the sky when he saw that his uncle didn't believe him.
Jiang Hao nodded, took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Dong. "Okay, I got it. Come on, let's go find your dad."
When Jiang Hao went out, the Jiang family's dinner was just ready. It was rare for Jiang Hai to come back and all the family members were there.
Liu Cuihua cooked a rich meal, including chicken stewed with mushrooms, sweet and sour pork, pickled cabbage and pork, hot and sour potato shreds, tomatoes with sugar, pork ribs stewed with beans and potatoes, bad eggplant, smashed cucumber, egg soup, and the staple food was steamed buns made with two-grain flour.
What’s even more rare is that there is no separate food today, everyone can take whatever they want to eat.
After everyone finished their meal and cleared away the dishes and other items and prepared to leave, Jiang Jianguo started talking.
"Let the kids go out and play. It's rare for everyone to be together today. The eldest is back too. Except for Jiang Lan, everyone else in the family is here too. I have something to tell you."
Seeing that their grandfather was about to get down to business, the children were very considerate and the older ones took the younger ones out.
Jiang Jianguo watched Jiang Dong close the door before continuing,
"I've been thinking about this for a long time. As the saying goes, a tree grows bigger and branches out, and people grow bigger and families out.
All of you, except for the fifth child, are married and have children now. I thought we could just divide the family up while everyone is together now."
When Jiang Hao heard what his father said, he looked up at Liu Cuihua. When he saw Liu Cuihua give him a look, he understood that this matter was discussed by the old couple.
"Dad, the fifth child hasn't gotten married yet. It's not good to divide the family now. Besides, isn't it because our parents are still here that we can't divide the family?"
Jiang Lin didn't want to split up the family at all. Not to mention that he couldn't bear to leave his parents, he was also unwilling to split up because the fifth brother might not be able to support himself.
"That's right, Dad, isn't it a bit too early to split up the family now?" Jiang He was also unhappy.
"Dad, let's wait until the fifth child gets married. It's really a bit early now." Jiang Sen was even more reluctant.
Jiang Hai didn't say anything, after all, Jiang Jianguo had discussed it with him in advance.
The men in the family were not happy to hear about the division of the family, but Jiang Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw his sisters-in-law.
Li Qian and Zhao Xiuxiu were the most unable to hold back. From their expressions, you could tell how excited they were when they heard about the division.
Jiang Jianguo was very happy when he saw the attitudes of his sons. After all, everyone wanted the whole family to be united.
But thinking about the recent troubles in the He family, Jiang Jianguo felt that they should split up. At least the brotherhood was still there.
As the saying goes, things smell good from a distance, but smell bad up close. Gathering a large family together will only lead to more conflicts, and it won't be good for a long time.
Jiang Jianguo has been thinking about the matter of splitting up the family for more than a month, and after discussing it with Jiang Hai, he has become even more determined to do so.
"Your mother, your eldest brother and I have discussed this matter and have already made the decision. There is nothing more to say. Let's divide the family today while everyone is at home.
Although we have separated, you are still brothers and should help each other.
Your mother and I are always your parents, so don't think that we can't control you after the family splits up.
Okay, old lady, go get the things out. Let’s divide everything that needs to be divided today to avoid any arguments later.”
Liu Cuihua went into her and the old man's room, and soon came out with a half-big wooden box.
Liu Cuihua held the wooden box and said slowly, "Over the years, our family has saved a lot of money, a total of 6,300 yuan. Here are the money you handed in, your father's retirement pay and wages over the years, and the money everyone earned from work points every year.
The money is divided into six parts. Each of you brothers gets one thousand. Your father and I get eight hundred. The remaining five hundred goes to the fifth brother.
Your wedding was arranged by my husband and me, and we used public funds, so these five hundred yuan are for the fifth child to use for his future marriage."
"You don't have to give so much. That's how much Lin Zi and I spent on our wedding."
Originally, Zhao Xiuxiu was very happy when she heard that the family had so much money, but when she heard that only fifteen hundred was given to Lao Wu at once, she immediately became unhappy.
Liu Cuihua was already unhappy about the division of the family business, and now someone was finding fault with her, making her a punching bag.
"If you don't want to split it, then shut up. If you do, you have to do what I say. My son, who I paid for, hasn't said he's unhappy yet. How dare you argue with me here?"
