When Lu Changzheng saw that his wife was ignoring him, he was a little panicked. He gently touched her fingers and apologized: "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. I will do it at night next time, not during the day."
Su Mo endured the soreness between her legs and strode forward, turning her face away, not wanting to pay attention to Lu Changzheng.
Lu Changzheng quickly moved to the other side, "Daughter-in-law, I was really wrong. Can you please pay attention to me? Otherwise, if my parents see it, I will kneel on the washboard when I go back."
Su Mo paused before speaking: "Is this something that happens during the day and night? You knew you were going to your parents' place in the morning, but you still act like that. It's so late now, how will others see me?"
"I don't know how to look at it. It's still early, it's only eight o'clock. We had flowers and candles in the bridal chamber yesterday, and they understand." Lu Changzheng comforted.
"You still said that." Su Mo was so angry that she hit Lu Changzheng and almost cried. She was so ashamed.
Lu Changzheng knew that his wife was embarrassed. He raised his lips and revealed a naughty smile. He lowered his head and whispered in Su Mo's ear, "Daughter-in-law, the later you go, the happier they will be. Because it shows that their son is brave and will soon die." I can hold my eldest grandson in my arms.”
Su Mo kicked Lu Changzheng. She really didn't want to ignore him anymore and kept walking forward.
Lu Changzheng chuckled and chased after her. His wife was so cute.
In fact, he didn't want to be so imprudent, but his wife was fair-skinned, beautiful, soft-bodied, and had a nice, seductive voice. How could he bear it? If his wife hadn't been unable to bear it, he probably could have done it all night.
Lu Xiaolan was in the vegetable garden helping her mother plow the ground they had dug yesterday. When she saw Lu Changzheng and Su Mo walking over in a hurry, she greeted them with a smile: "Good morning, third brother and third sister-in-law."
Su Mo stopped and smiled sheepishly: "Good morning."
Because of time constraints, Su Mo didn't braid her hair today. She combed her hair and tucked it behind her ears, and hurried out.
At this time, a gust of wind happened to blow, lifting Su Mo's hair, revealing the white side of her neck and the dots of red marks on it.
Lu Xiaolan laughed out loud when she saw it.
Her third brother was quite fierce and chewed her third sister-in-law's neck, leaving mouth marks everywhere.
"Xiaolan, why are you laughing?" Su Mo had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Third sister-in-law, pull up your collar and press your hair." Lu Xiaolan came closer to Su Mo and winked, "There are mouth marks all over your neck."
Su Mo felt a surge of hot blood, and her face was so red that it almost bled. She wished that there was a crack in the ground for her to get through.
Lu Changzheng glared at his heartless girl. Is it allowed to say such a thing? His wife was already annoyed with him, but now that she was being teased like this, she was probably even more annoyed with him.
"Daughter-in-law, it's okay. She works in the supply and marketing cooperative. She has sharp eyes and can't be seen by others." Lu Changzheng comforted his wife.
If he is really annoyed, he has no meat to eat tonight, what can he do?
Lu Xiaolan saw Su Mo's face bleeding and knew that her third sister-in-law was shy, so she stopped joking.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you can't see it if you don't take it seriously. Just press your hair down."
There is no other way. After staying in the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time, I have heard too much gossip and my face has become thicker.
Su Mo was almost dying of shame and anger, but fortunately Li Yue'e heard the sound and came out to see her and rescued her.
"The couple are here? Then go sit in the main room. Xiaolan, please stop digging on the floor and ask Jingming to go to the main room with you."
Lu Changzheng quickly led his wife to the main room, and soon everyone was there.
As soon as Lu Guihua arrived in the main room, she saw Su Mo sitting there with rosy cheeks, so she asked, "Younger, why are you so red? Are you sick?"
Every time her little son had a fever, his cheeks would turn red.
"No, no, I was walking in a hurry just now and it was hot." Su Mo quickly denied it. Fortunately, she felt cold today and put on a coat.
Lu Guihua had no doubt that he was there, while Lu Xiaolan lowered her head and snickered.
Except for the five children, all the adults in the family were sitting in the main room. Even Lu Boming was sitting under a thin blanket.
Because he and his father were the old and new branch secretaries, and the accountant was his eldest son, Lu Qingan did not invite anyone to witness and planned to divide the family by himself.
Lu Qing'an cleared his throat, "When you were young, life at home was difficult and there was little savings. When you were older, you finally had some savings. The eldest and the second had a wife, and there were natural disasters in three years. The family also It was only after my third son joined the army that he started to save some serious money."
"The third child went to join the army in October 1964. It has been seven years now. Except for the first two years, he sent 5 yuan back every month. In the next five years, he sent 20 yuan every month. In total, he sent 1,320 yuan to his family. ." Lu Qing'an said, looking at the account in his hand.
"I keep the remittance slip. If you have any questions, you can take a look at it later."
"Let's talk about the second child. The second child went to work in the commune wood processing factory two years ago. After working, he also paid 20 yuan to his family every month. He paid 23 months in total, a total of 460 yuan."
"There is also Xiaolan, who worked at the commune supply and marketing cooperative for three years. Before she got married, she also paid 20 yuan to her family every month for 26 months, a total of 520 yuan."
"I officially took over the position of brigade party secretary in 1966. The party secretary received a monthly subsidy of 7 yuan. So far, I have received it for 5 years and 9 months, totaling 483 yuan."
"Although the eldest brother did not pay any money to the family, he has served as the village's accountant since 1961. Every year, the work points are settled equally according to the work points of the team with the highest work points. He has contributed nearly 2,000 work points to the family every year. According to the work points of the team over the years, Calculating the average unit price of 5 cents, it has contributed a lot to the family over the years." Lu Qing'an also did not forget to acknowledge his eldest son.
After Lu Xingjun heard this, he felt at ease.
"At the end of the year, the brigade settled the accounts, excluding the grain and meat. In 1964, 61.75 yuan was distributed; in 1965, 83.27 yuan was distributed; in 1966, 91 yuan was distributed; in 1967, 98 yuan was distributed; in 1968, 98 yuan was distributed 115.5 yuan; in 1969, 100.3 yuan was distributed; in 1970, 108.43 yuan was distributed. The reason for the distribution in the next two years was less because both the second child and Xiaolan went to work, and there were two less laborers."
"In the past seven years, the brigade has distributed dividends, and the family has received a total of 658.25 yuan."
"This is the source and amount of the family's income over the years. I have a ledger here, and the boss can calculate it later."
"The third child paid 1,320 yuan, the second child paid 460 yuan, Xiaolan paid 520 yuan, the family dividend was 658.25 yuan, and my salary subsidy was 483 yuan, and the total income was 3,441.25 yuan."
“After talking about income, let’s talk about expenses.”
"First, it was to build a house. The house that the family lives in now, not counting their own manpower and wood, cost a total of 986.94 yuan. The third child built the house, and the family also gave 300 yuan. To build the house, the total cost was 986.94 yuan. Cost 1286.94 yuan.”
"Then, it's time to buy big things. There are three big things at home, two bicycles and a sewing machine. The two bicycles cost 280 yuan, and the sewing machine cost 138 yuan. The total cost for the family was 418 yuan."
"When Xiaolan got married, your mother and I asked her to take back the gifts she received. In addition, she also bought a bicycle and 100 yuan as a dowry. All of these were discussed with the boss and the second child at the time. When Xiaolan got married, The family spent 258 yuan.”
When Lu Xiaolan got married, she also bought a Forever 26 bicycle, which cost 158 yuan.
"The third child got married, and his family gave him a gift of 200 yuan. He bought a bicycle for 158 yuan, and the family spent 358 yuan."
"These are relatively large expenditures in recent years, totaling 2,320.94 yuan."
"The rest is the usual expenses for making clothes, shopping, buying meat and when I have a headache. The family does not keep a detailed record, but there must be a few hundred yuan. Over the years, in addition to occasionally buying some white flour, grain Basically never bought it.”
"Today, there is still 573.61 yuan left on the family's account."
"What your mother and I want to do is to divide the money into four parts. Our old guy and your three brothers and their families will each have one part. Xiaolan will not divide it. Do you have any objections?"
Lu Qing'an mainly looked at Lu Changzheng. The third child would suffer the most from such a separation. But there is no way, the third child is the most promising, so we can only let him contribute a little more.
Lu Changzheng quickly waved his hand, "I have no objection."
He never thought about getting the money he sent home.
Lu Xiaolan also quickly expressed that she had no objection. When she got married, not only did she bring back the betrothal gift, but the dowry was also very generous, so her husband's family always respected her, and she was also very grateful to her parents.
Lu Xingjun and Lu Weiguo naturally had no objections.
"Okay, then the 573.61 yuan will be divided into four parts. You three brothers will get 143 yuan per family, and the rest will be given to us, the old couple."
Lu Qingan quickly counted out three portions of 143 yuan, and each of the three brothers gave one portion.
"After the money is divided, the house will be divided easily. According to the division you live in now, the three brothers will have three rooms each. The middle row will belong to us three old guys. As for the future, you three brothers will discuss it when the time comes."
"Big things, the boss and the second brother each have a bicycle. The third brother also bought a bicycle when he got married. The sewing machine is here for us old guys. If any of you want to use it, just come and use it."
"The pots and pans in the house now are divided into three parts, one for our old guy and one for the eldest and second family. The third family has all these things ready, so I won't divide them for you at home."
"There are currently about 200 kilograms of corn crumbs left at home, seventy or eighty kilograms of corn flour, about ten kilograms of white flour, and about 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes. There are not many things left, and they are not worth much. I mentioned this to the third child before. The food will not be distributed to him. Now it is divided into three parts, one for us and the boss and the second family."
After setting up the banquet and counting the food, Li Yue'e mentioned the food matter to Lu Changzheng. Lu Changzheng saw that there was not much food, and it was only coarse grains. He had already prepared rice and white flour for his wife, so he didn't ask for any.
"The vegetable plot at the door has a total of five points. The boss and the second family each get two points, and we old guys get one point."
"Do you have any objections to the division?"
Lu Changzheng said he had no objection, and so did Lu Xingjun and Lu Weiguo.
"Okay, if no one has any objections, I will write a document in five copies. You will all sign it when the time comes, one copy for each of our four families, and one copy for the brigade."
"Dad, there is still the issue of old-age care that I haven't discussed." Lu Xingjun quickly reminded.
"Your mother and I can still work now. We don't need you to support us for the time being. When we can no longer work, you three brothers will just give us food according to the market conditions at that time." Lu Qing'an said.
"How can that be done?" Lu Xingjun disagreed. Supporting the elderly was a matter of course.
Lu Qing'an smiled, feeling somewhat comforted. Although the boss looked the least promising, he was actually a nice person and was kind to his brothers and sisters.
"Okay, your children are still young now, and your mother and I are still able to work, so I won't overwork you. You can just take care of your own family. We will wait until the time when we really need you to take care of us. "
"If you are really filial, just bring us a bowl of delicious food if you have it."
"Okay, I'll write it if you don't mind." Lu Qing'an picked up the pen and started writing.
Lu Guihua calculated over and over again, and she always felt that her family was at a loss. Her husband paid 460 yuan, but in the end he only received 143 yuan, which was less.
Moreover, she always felt that each family should not have as little as 143 yuan. In her imagination, each family should have two to three hundred yuan. It must be where the income is, not where it is missing.
Lu Guihua was calculating over and over again, and she looked up just in time to see Lu Boming. An idea flashed through her, and she said something was missing.
"Dad, wait a minute, you've missed out on my income. You've missed out on my father's income." The old man has a disability allowance, which started a few years ago and has been 18 yuan per month.
The atmosphere in the main room suddenly stagnated, and everyone looked at Lu Guihua in disbelief.
Who are these people? Instead of talking about being filial to the elderly, you still want to dig out the elderly’s money and distribute it?
Lu Weiguo's face turned red at first and then turned livid. He was really ashamed and angry. Does this woman have no sense of shame?
"Shut up." Lu Weiguo yelled, "The idea is all about me, are you still a human being?"
Lu Guihua was confused and a little aggrieved, "What's wrong with me? Isn't my father also a member of our family?"
"My father's money was subsidized by the state. If you dare to make any random decisions again, go back to your parents' home." Lu Weiguo was furious when he saw Lu Guihua taking it for granted.
"Dad, just leave her alone and keep writing. We don't have any objections."
Li Yue'e sneered, but everyone seemed to know Lu Guihua's virtue and ignored her. After Lu Qingan finished writing, the three brothers stepped forward to sign.
Lu Qingan stamped all five documents, and each of the three brothers received one copy.
"Then the family is divided, the elder's family and the second child's family. You two will share the food and kitchen supplies with your mother later."
Then he explained again.
"In half a month, the brigade will also be settled. This year, the brigade will be settled. It will be up to your respective families to collect it."
"With only the second daughter-in-law working, the second son's family will definitely not have enough food. Then we will go to the brigade to buy food. After dividing the family, the two boys should also use it to collect pig grass and other things to earn some work points."
"Lao San's family... Those from Lao San's family, remember to buy food from the brigade." The work points of Lao San's family may not be enough to cause famine.
Everyone in the family responded, and just when everyone was about to leave, Lu Boxing spoke.
"Wait a minute. As a grandpa, I have nothing to give you. Now that we are separated, you should live your own life well."
Lu Boming took out a wad of money from his pocket and said, "Here are 400 yuan. Each of you four brothers and sister will receive 100 yuan. This is my support for the construction of your little family."
Lu Weiguo wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. "Master, don't listen to that shrew. How can we ask for your money?"
His father was suffering from ailments, and it cost a lot of money to see a doctor and take medicine. It would be fine if they, the younger generation, were not filial, so why should we ask for the old man's money?
Lu Boming put the money into Lu Qing'an's hand, "Let's give it to the brothers and sisters."
Everyone refused to take it.
In the end, Lu Qing'an spoke: "Just accept your father's wishes. In the future, just buy more things to honor your father."
Then gave them the money.
