Chapter 63: Separation
An Jianjun didn't say anything, he understood what his parents meant.
Hearing that his three brothers did not look down on him because of his legs, he was also touched. At least all his efforts over the years were not in vain.
He wasn't aiming for anything. Family members couldn't be so clear-cut. Over the years, he had seen many examples from his comrades' families. For now, he was content.
He had chosen to join the army simply to reduce the burden on his parents.
Mother An glanced at her daughters-in-law. The four daughters-in-law all lowered their heads and listened. No one said a word. Only they themselves knew what they were thinking.
It’s okay for my son to be okay. At least it shows that my education is successful and he is not an ungrateful person.
"Listen to what mother has to say. This decision is the result of careful consideration by your father and I."
"We've made our decision. I'm tired and no longer want to handle all these trivial matters for you. From now on, you'll manage your own little home. Whether you live well or not will depend on your own abilities."
When the captain heard this, he agreed. His younger brother and his wife always had their own ideas, so he didn't interfere.
"So how are you going to divide this family?"
Father An took out his pipe and wanted to light a cigarette, but when he glanced at the bulging belly of the third son's wife, he put it down silently.
"Ahem, well...we don't have much to divide at home. These are all the things we have at home."
"As for the house, now everyone's house belongs to each branch, but the third brother's house is the smallest, so he will suffer a loss. When the money is divided, this money will be added to the family."
"The bicycle was bought with the third brother's bicycle ticket. It belongs to the third brother. If you want to use it in the future, you can borrow it from the third brother."
"Then..." The eldest sister-in-law wanted to say something, but was held down by the eldest brother.
When I bought the bicycle, although I used An Jianjun's notes, the money was really from the public fund, not An Jianjun's allowance.
It’s no wonder that my sister-in-law had some thoughts. After all, their eldest family also contributed to the purchase of the bicycle.
However, An's father thought that his son's legs were not in good condition and he would definitely need a bicycle in the future, so he wanted to give the bicycle to the third son. The third son's wife had a bicycle, but it was the daughter-in-law's dowry and had nothing to do with their An family.
"As for food, it's calculated by centimeters. You get as much food as you've worked." Each family knew how many centimeters they had worked, and since the autumn harvest had just been completed, it was easier to divide the food.
The work done by each family is definitely different. If the family is divided into three parts, there will be no food. An Jianjun eats and drinks in the army, and Feng Jiaojiao's work points have long been spent. After she got married, she never went to the fields again.
The fourth brother's family had much less food than the eldest and first brother's families, and only the fourth brother worked.
But no one was dissatisfied. It was good to distribute food according to work, and no one took advantage of anyone else.
"Old woman, you tell me the rest." An's mother asked her to continue.
Mother An thought for a moment and said, "As for the things in the kitchen, you can take your own portions of dishes and chopsticks, and buy your own oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Those are all mine."
"Then there's the family's money." Mother An took out a small box and took out two small notebooks from it.
"These two books, one is the account book for the allowance sent by the third brother. I have already given the allowance to the third brother. The other book contains the family's annual income and expenditure, as well as the money and receipts for the third brother's subsidy."
An's mother took note of all these things because she was afraid that it would be difficult to settle accounts when the family business was divided in the future, which would cause unpleasantness among the brothers.
"Mom!" An Jianjun didn't expect his mother to do this.
"Third brother, this family wouldn't be getting better without your help. They should remember your contribution."
