Zhang Dongze looked at his sister in disbelief, he didn't expect that this was the person who always talked about having graduated from high school. He didn't think about how difficult it was for his parents and brother to be caught in the middle, and he was still making sarcastic remarks at this time.

He remembered what his wife had said to him yesterday, that she wanted to divide the family property, otherwise she would not be able to live. Her sister-in-law did nothing at home and was always making trouble. She was tired and didn't want to stir the same pot anymore.

So he stood up and sneered, "Dad, Mom, don't you want to do anything about it? You think you'll feel better if you break up my little family, right?"

After that, he took three steamed buns from the table and stood up to walk out. Zhang Qiaoyan said, "Brother, what should I eat if you take the steamed buns?"

Zhang Dongze said, "This is what I deserve. I earned it by working. You should work and earn work points for what you eat. Aren't you a high school student? You can't even solve such a small problem."

After saying this, he left without looking back, leaving the branch secretary and his wife standing there in a daze.

Secretary Zhang couldn't eat anymore. He sighed and said to Wang Chunni, "Bring some things with you today and go to Shang's house to invite my daughter-in-law back. You and Qiaoyan go with me."

Zhang Qiaoyan was a little unhappy when she heard that she was going too. She slammed down her chopsticks and said, "Why should I go? She can come back or not."

Secretary Zhang got really angry when he heard this. He slapped Zhang Qiaoyan in the face and yelled, "If your sister-in-law doesn't come back, you won't be able to go to school. You're only sixteen or seventeen years old and you don't know anything."

Zhang Qiaoyan covered her face and yelled, "If you don't want to study, then don't study."

After yelling, he ran out of the yard.

When Luo Qiao heard everyone talking about the distribution of property to households, she looked up at the Daqing Mountain. There was a barren hillside in front of the Daqing Mountain. Because it was next to the mountain, large animals often visited there.

The second reason was that not only was the yield on the slope low, but when it rained heavily most of the food would be washed away. Plus there used to be a small forest there, and the villagers would collect firewood there all year round, but over the years there were only a few big trees on the slope, and there were only thorns left.

She had thought about it before. If possible, she would contract the hilltop. Then she could use the water in the pool above and build a pipe to bring the water down from the mountain.

These days everyone is looking forward to the distribution of property to households and no one is in the mood to work. I heard that the distribution has already been completed in some places and everyone in the village has been talking about it these days.

Luo Qiao was listening attentively when she felt a pair of eyes falling on her. She observed quietly and found that it was Zhang Qiaoyan from the secretary's family. No one knew what was going on with this person.

I have never offended her. What does she want to do? Does she really think that just because her father is the party secretary, she can do whatever she wants?

The division of labor began. Zhang Qiaoyan was driven out to work by her mother today. She didn't want to do heavy work, so she was given the job of herding cattle.

Luo Qiao's job today was to follow the women's team leader to pick plums on the slope in front. There was a plum forest on the slope, and now was the season when plums were ripe.
