Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang were just about to say something.
Du Chunmin interrupted them, "When a tree grows big, it branches out; when a son grows up, he separates his family. You two brothers have done a great job, and it's time for your father and I to let go. Even if we separate, we are still a family, and we can discuss anything in the future."
Yan Guowei continued, "There are seven rooms in total. Your mother and I will keep the three main rooms. The two east rooms and two west rooms for you two brothers are now yours."
"After the spring planting, I'll build a kitchen for each of you, and divide the private plots among each person. Although your mother and I still have some money, your younger sister is still in school, so we won't share it with you. You two brothers both have jobs now, so you should have no problem supporting the family."
Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang looked at each other. Judging from the situation, his parents might have already planned to divide the family business.
Yan Daqiang said, "Dad, Mom, Zhenyu tried so hard to find jobs for us brothers. He did this for your and Dad's sake. He also wanted to make your life easier. Now my second brother and I have formal jobs, and our family life is better. But you and Dad want to separate from us, and I don't agree."
"I don't agree either." Yan Erqiang immediately expressed his opinion.
Qian Fenglan and Wang Guimei opened their mouths but said nothing.
They all knew that their men's jobs were done by Han Zhenyu for the sake of his parents-in-law.
If they split up now, what would Han Zhenyu think of their men?
"You don't have the final say. Your father and I have already made the decision. Zhenyu found jobs for you two not only for your father and me, but also for the friendship between you two."
Du Chunmin glanced at his son and daughter-in-law, was silent for a moment, and then said, "If you have enough money, just give us a few yuan every month. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter. Your father and I can still work in the fields and earn work points. When we can't work anymore, we will ask you for more."
Yan Daqiang frowned, "Mom, what are you talking about? Not to mention that my second brother and I have a salary every month, even if we don't have a job, we still have to give to you and my father by earning work points at home."
"Brother is right." Yan Erqiang knew his parents' temper. Since they had proposed to separate today, they must have made up their mind.
He thought for a while and said, "Dad, Mom, since you insist on dividing the family, I agree. I will keep half of the money I earn for myself, and the remaining half will be used for your retirement."
Qian Fenglan and Wang Guimei felt that giving half was a bit too much, but when they thought about their men's work backgrounds, they did not dare to object.
Yan Guowei and Du Chunmin felt very relieved after hearing what their son said.
Du Chunmin looked at her two daughters-in-law again. Although she knew that they were definitely unhappy in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces. She was still quite clear-headed.
She smiled and said, "I'm glad you have this intention. Your father and I are still young and can work. Why do we need so much money from you? Save the money you earn for the children, and just give us three or two yuan a month."
"No, it's too little. My younger sister still has to go to school and mom has to help us take care of the children. How many work points can dad earn alone?" Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang disagreed.
They are both very filial and know the difficulties their parents have gone through. In the past, they were poor and there was nothing they could do.
Now they work in factories and earn dozens of yuan every month.
After becoming a regular employee next year, I can transfer my household registration to the city and become a real city dweller.
So it is impossible for them to only care about their own small family and ignore their parents. If they do that, are they still human beings?
Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang finally agreed that they would each give their parents ten yuan a month, for the New Year and other festivals, and for clothes and snacks on ordinary days, depending on each person's wishes.
Then the two brothers agreed that they would build the kitchen themselves without asking their parents for money.
Qian Fenglan and Wang Guimei could also accept this result.
Although ten yuan may not sound like a lot, their men have only been working for a short time and can earn dozens of yuan every month. When they become regular employees next year, their salary will be even higher.
If calculated based on the proportion of income, giving ten yuan a month to your parents-in-law is not too much.
The two sisters-in-law thought, now Zhenyu probably won’t be able to say anything, right?
………
Today is Han Zhenyu’s 22nd birthday.
Su Xiaqiu personally made him a bowl of longevity noodles in the morning and put two eggs in it.
After Han Zhenyu finished breakfast and went to work, she started to get busy again.
Although Han Zhenyu is in her twenties, this is her first birthday, so she wants to prepare some rituals for this special day.
Su Xieqiu took out the balloon that he had blown up a few days ago from the space.
She bought these when she moved to a new house. She didn't use them up at that time, so she put them in a drawer. Now they come in handy.
She put double-sided tape on the balloons and arranged them into a heart shape on the bedroom wall. She then took out a pen and wrote blessings on the balloons.
With the decoration of these colorful balloons, the whole house is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Then, she took out an exquisite tablecloth, spread it on the kang table, and took out a large bunch of lilies from the coffee table in the space.
Su Xieqiu originally wanted to bake a cake, but it was inconvenient because of her big belly.
She planned to cook a few more dishes and make a cake for Han Zhenyu next year to celebrate his birthday in a more grand way.
………
Han Zhenyu had bad luck today. When he came home from get off work, he met Widow Liu again.
It was obvious that the old woman had dressed up specially, with her hair neatly tied up.
He was wearing a dark red coat and black leather shoes, which was a rare outfit in rural areas.
No one knew what she put on her body, but Han Zhenyu could smell a pungent fragrance from a distance.
