afternoon.
Zhou Qiang’s family.
Qian Weiguo, Wang Xiuping, director of the sub-district office, and Yang Shuheng, a clerk in the personnel department of the steel rolling mill, all came.
These people were invited by Zhou Qiang for money to serve the country.
Zhou Qiang, Zhou Hua, Zhou Juan, Zhou Fang, and Zhou Sheng are all at home.
After Zhou Fang and Zhou Sheng finished their infusions in the morning, their fevers had subsided.
Zhou Qiang went to the hospital at noon, had dinner with his brothers and sisters, and then went home.
Qian Weiguo spoke first:
"Today, I invite you here to discuss the Zhou family's affairs.
everybody knows.
Zhou Tie and Zheng Rong were unfortunately killed in a car accident during transportation.
Director Wang also helped with funeral arrangements.
Xiao Yang also helped a lot.
Now, Zhou Hua wants to drive Zhou Qiang and his brothers and sisters out of the Zhou family."
Qian Weiguo told the truth about the Zhou family's affairs, without concealing anything or adding any fuel or jealousy.
"I didn't drive away Zhou Qiang and the others. Li Mei has a place for them to live." Zhou Hua hurriedly argued.
"Zhou Hua, everyone here is sensible. We all know what you are thinking. You don't need to explain!" Wang Xiuping scolded, and then said to Zhou Qiang: "Xiaoqiang, don't worry, Zhou Hua can't catch up with us. Leave some of you brothers and sisters."
"Director Wang, Uncle Qian, Brother Yang, today I want to discuss and divide the house, the job quota at the steel rolling mill, and the compensation." Zhou Qiang held five-year-old Zhou Fang in his arms and said calmly.
He was going to settle everything at home today.
He didn't find one. In charge of the courtyard were the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, the second uncle Liu Haizhong, and the third uncle Yan Bugui.
He had watched "The Courtyard of Love" and knew that these senior officials in charge of the courtyard were all masters of harmony. If they could not solve the problem, they could also create other problems.
If we really discuss it with them, if things go wrong, it will lead to a situation where the whole family will be destitute.
"It's time to discuss it." Wang Xiuping nodded.
"That's right." Qian Weiguo and Yang Shuheng also nodded.
Zhou Qiang continued: "Director Wang, our street office is responsible for managing the house. Let's talk about the house first.
My house only has two rooms, one large and one small.
In addition, Zhou Hua is preparing to get married recently.
There is no room for the family.
My father borrowed a small house from relatives before his death.
Relatives go to work in other places.
As for the house, you can always lend it to us.
This is also considered a house that our family can live in.
There are five people in our family now.
There are three rooms, two large and one small.
I demand that the houses be divided equally.
You can see it? "
"Of course!" Wang Xiuping nodded directly in agreement.
"Xiaoqiang, where is the house your family is borrowing?" Qian Weiguo asked curiously.
Zhou Qiang's house is a borrowed house. It is said that it is a borrowed house, but in fact it is a rented house.
However, speculation is not allowed in these days, so if something happens to everyone, they can be fooled by changing their names. (This is an attempt to deceive others. There are many problems that will have a bad impact, but it is inconvenient to say more. In a simple sentence: everyone is used to being fooled. This habit is terrible.)
"Uncle Qian, I don't know where it is specifically. It is the wedding room of Zhou Hua and Li Mei. They have been going there to clean up the decorations. I have never been there." Zhou Qiang had never been to that house before.
"The house is not far away, in Miaodou Hutong. There is a small house there, with a single door and a small courtyard. It is considered a big room." Wang Xiuping said.
Zhou Tie approached Wang Xiuping to handle the matter of renting a house for the Zhou family.
"This can't be like this. The house is borrowed and cannot be divided equally." Zhou Hua became anxious. I almost told him about renting a house.
How could he and Li Mei's wedding room be shared equally at home?
He wants both the wedding house and the family house, all of them.
This was what Li Mei asked for, and he thought so too.
As for where Zhou Qiang and the others will live in the future, he doesn't care.
Zhou Hua continued: "Also, Zhou Qiang and the others are still young, so the house at home cannot be allocated to them. Director Wang, the house here should be transferred to my name first."
"Hmph!" Wang Xiuping glanced at Zhou Hua coldly, suppressed her anger, and said to Zhou Qiang: "Xiaoqiang, your family has three rooms, which can be divided equally. You five brothers and sisters, how do you want to divide it?"
Before Zhou Qiang could speak, Zhou Hua hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "No, Director Wang, we can't divide it equally! Zhou Qiang and the others are still young and ignorant."
"Hmph, Zhou Hua, if you continue to make trouble unreasonably, I will take you to the street office and educate you." Wang Xiuping became a little angry.
She has dealt with so many similar things that she can tell right from wrong at a glance.
Zhou Hua's "wolf-like heart and dog-like lungs" made her very unhappy.
Like an eggplant beaten by frost, Zhou Hua sat down dejectedly, not daring to speak.
Everyone in this area knows Wang Xiuping's majesty.
She was angry, who dared to be presumptuous?
"Xiao Qiang, how do you want to divide the house?" Wang Xiuping continued to ask Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang hesitated and said, "Director Wang, my family can live in three houses, two big ones and one small one.
There are five people in the family, two people share a large room.
A small room is allocated to one person.
Zhou Juan and Zhou Fang share a large room.
Zhou Sheng and I also share a large room.
Zhou Hua was assigned a small room.
This is a fair division.
However, the two rooms, one large and one small, are our own and can be transferred.
That borrowed house cannot be transferred. There needs to be some explanation for this.
That is, the big borrowed house can be allocated to Zhou Hua alone according to the small house.
Zhou Sheng and I are crowded in the small house here.
These two rooms can be transferred.
The ownership of the big house was transferred to the names of Zhou Juan and Zhou Fang.
The small house is transferred in my name and Zhou Sheng's name.
Do you think this is okay? "
Zhou Qiang said a lot. Although it was a bit confusing, he basically explained the situation clearly.
Wang Xiuping, Qian Weiguo, and Yang Shuheng all looked at Zhou Qiang with admiration.
In this era, daughters are not considered by default when it comes to dividing houses.
Zhou Qiang proposed to allocate a big house to Zhou Juan and Zhou Fang.
In this situation, even if Zhou Tie was still alive, he would not do this.
"No." Zhou Huagang wanted to object.
"Huh?" Wang Xiuping looked at Zhou Hua coldly, telling Zhou Hua to shut up automatically and not dare to speak.
"Xiaoqiang, what you said is fine, just divide it like this. Later, I will handle the house transfer procedures for you." Wang Xiuping said this and looked at Zhou Hua again. "If anyone disagrees or makes trouble again, I will Send him to the police station and let him receive a good education."
Zhou Hua lowered his head and said nothing. He did not dare to confront Wang Xiuping because he was really afraid of being sent to the police station. He has seen shrews taken to the police station.
"Okay, thank you, Director Wang." Zhou Qiang was respectful and polite.
"The house matter has been settled. Now let's talk about the job quota and compensation." Qian Weiguo Dao.
Zhou Qiang answered: "Uncle Qian, let's talk about job quotas first.
My parents left two permanent job positions.
Although Zhou Hua is a temporary worker on the big train shift of the steel rolling mill, he has been working for three or four years and will soon become a regular worker. This is also considered a formal worker quota.
My family has three formal employment quotas.
Zhou Hua now occupies one.
The remaining two, although they belong to four of us brothers and sisters.
But it's a bit unfair. Zhou Hua still needs to compensate the four of us brothers and sisters. "
Zhou Qiang finished his words.
There is silence all around.
None of them expected Zhou Qiang to be divided like this.
However, dividing it this way sounds very reasonable.
"No!" Zhou Hua shouted, "Why should my parents' official job quotas be given to you!
Why should I pay compensation?
Why are you taking all the benefits?
unfair! "
At this moment, Zhou Hua felt bullied.
Qian Weiguo hesitated and advised, "Xiaoqiang, after all, your brother's job is not a formal one. Otherwise, why don't you let him compensate?"
"Okay, for Uncle Qian's sake, Zhou Hua won't be allowed to compensate." Zhou Qiang readily agreed.
"Okay, the job quota is settled like this." Qian Weigao.
Zhou Hua wanted to say something else, but Wang Xiuping, Qian Weiguo, and Yang Shuheng all stared at Zhou Hua with unkind expressions.
Zhou Hua lowered his head helplessly and did not dare to speak anymore.
"Uncle Qian, now it's time to talk about the compensation." Zhou Qiang said, looking around, "Actually, it's not just the compensation. I also have a bank passbook at home, but it was snatched away by my brother. I want my brother to Take out your bankbook first."
"No bankbook!" Zhou Hua lied hastily.
"There is a bankbook, I've seen it." Zhou Juan interjected.
"No." Zhou Hua still wanted to be tough.
"Zhou Hua, it seems you really want to go to the police station to receive education." Wang Xiuping said coldly.
"Ah, me, me." Zhou Hua had no choice but to take out his bankbook. He kept hiding close to him.
Zhou Qiang looked at the amount of money in the passbook, calculated it, and realized that Zhou Hua did not withdraw any money from it, "Zhou Hua, you took half of the money from home, take it out now."
Zhou Hua hesitated and took out the money ticket from his pocket.
Zhou Qiang counted carefully again, "A few yuan are missing, and there are still tickets."
"I'll treat Li Mei to dinner, I'll use it." Zhou Hua said in a low voice. His arrogance was completely suppressed.
"Okay." Zhou Qiang nodded and took out the other half of the money. "I went to the hospital to treat Xiaofang and Xiaosheng and spent a few yuan. The rest is here."
Zhou Qiang motioned to Zhou Hua to count the money, and then continued:
“My Zhou family still has some valuable things.
A tricycle.
a bicycle.
A sewing machine.
A radio.
A watch.
There are also iron pots, beds, and furniture.
In addition, over at Miaodou Alley, my dad said that a lot of money was spent on furniture and other things.
Including the compensation, the family's total wealth is this.
Look, did I miss anything? "
"It's very comprehensive. I didn't miss anything." Wang Xiuping and the other three nodded.
Zhou Hua also nodded and said nothing. He also felt that Zhou Qiang had told everything about his family background and didn't miss anything.
"Director Wang, Uncle Qian, Brother Yang." Zhou Qiang looked around and said:
“The family background of my Zhou family has been figured out.
Now, it’s about how to divide these assets. "
"Xiaoqiang, do you want the five people to share it equally?" Qian Weiguo interrupted. He felt that if Zhou Qiang split the score equally, he would definitely support it because it was fair.
Zhou Qiang didn't nod, "Uncle Qian, that's it.
My brother is twenty years old now.
I'm fifteen years old.
Zhou Juan is ten years old.
Zhou Fang is seven years old.
Zhou Sheng was five years old.
My family’s money must first be allocated as alimony.
My youngest brother still has to go to school, and I have to have money to support him. Food, clothing, etc. all cost money. Therefore, if I pay two yuan a month, I can raise my brother until he is sixteen. This requires...
The same goes for Zhou Fang and Zhou Juan, who also need child support until they are sixteen years old. The amount of money is.
I am already fifteen years old. I can usually work part-time at Dongcheng Auto Repair Factory, so I don’t need child support.
Director Wang, Uncle Qian, Brother Yang, do you think the alimony should be divided first? "
"Should!" Wang Xiuping was the first to nod.
"It should be so." Qian Weiguo and Yang Shuheng also nodded.
Zhou Hua wanted to say something, but was suppressed by the cold eyes.
Zhou Qiang continued: "Director Wang, Uncle Qian, and Brother Yang, after removing the alimony, they still need to pay part of the money.
When my father was still alive, he would go back to his hometown every year and give ten yuan to the elderly in the family. I want to continue to give this money.
Just give it fifty.
After five years, I will be responsible for the money given to the elderly.
I also gave away other gifts and so on. "
"This" Wang Xiuping and the others were moved.
Zhou Qiang is only fifteen years old, but he already knows how to be filial, which is very rare.
"Xiaoqiang, given the current situation in your family, don't force it. How about taking it slow first?" Wang Xiuping advised tactfully. Except for Zhou Hua, everyone in the Zhou family is still in school. With no income, they have to live on their own, so they still have to plan carefully.
"Director Wang, it's okay, I'm still here with the Zhou family, this family can't collapse!" Zhou Qiang said loudly.
"Okay, what a good boy, you are very good." Wang Xiuping was touched.
Qian Weiguo and Yang Shuheng also looked at Zhou Qiang with admiration.
At this moment, Zhou Qiang deserves to be praised.
Zhou Hua was a little ashamed and lowered his head.
Zhou Qiang continued: "Director Wang, Uncle Qian, and Brother Yang, the remaining money will be divided equally between the five of us brothers and sisters. Do you think it's okay?"
"Can!"
"That's it!"
Wang Xiuping and the other three nodded.
Zhou Qiang looked at Zhou Hua and asked, "Zhou Hua, is this okay?"
"Okay." Zhou Hua nodded and said nothing more. He had never thought about so many problems, he just wanted to take them all.
Zhou Qiang continued: "Bicycles, tricycles, sewing machines, these big things, Zhou Hua, what do you want?"
"I want a bicycle, a sewing machine, a watch, and a radio." Zhou Hua was not polite and asked for several large items. These large items were difficult to buy and tickets were difficult to obtain.
"Zhou Hua, you can only ask for two of these things, otherwise the money will be exceeded." Zhou Qiang reminded.
"Then I want a bicycle and a sewing machine." Zhou Hua picked the most expensive one.
"Okay, the things you want are about the same amount, so I won't share the money at home with you. Is that okay?" Zhou Qiang asked.
"No problem." Zhou Hua had to agree under the cold eyes of Wang Xiuping and the others.
"Okay, now that it's decided, let's get it done today." Wang Xiuping stood up, "Five of you, brother and sister, take your household registration book and follow me to go through the house transfer procedures.
Please Master Qian, Shu Heng, please go to the steel rolling mill and collect your job quota and compensation, and then "
Wang Xiuping arranged things properly.
"Thank you, Director Wang, Uncle Qian, and Brother Yang. I'll treat you to dinner another day to thank you." Zhou Qiang was respectful and polite.
"No." Wang Xiuping hurriedly shook her head in refusal and patted Zhou Qiang on the shoulder, "Good boy, please call me Aunt Wang from now on."
"Aunt Wang."
"Hey, if you have anything to do in the future, just come to Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang will make the decision for you." Wang Xiuping was impressed by Zhou Qiang's performance.
Been busy for a while.
All kinds of things are done.
Zhou Qiang returned to the courtyard with his younger brothers and sisters.
Wang Xiuping and Qian Weiguo came over again.
Zhou Hua pulled his own things and was about to leave.
"Zhou Hua, wait!" Zhou Qiang stopped Zhou Hua.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Hua looked unhappy.
Zhou Qiang walked over, raised his hand and slapped him twice.
At this time, several people were stunned and didn't understand what was going on.
"Zhou Hua, you slapped Xiaojuan this morning, I'll give you these two slaps back.
From now on, my brothers and sisters will not allow anyone to bully me! "Zhou Qiang shouted.
"I" Zhou Hua was furious and raised his hand to fight Zhou Qiang.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Xiuping took a step forward and shouted.
"I" looked at the angry Wang Xiuping, and Zhou Hua did not dare to make a mistake.
"Get lost!" Wang Xiuping yelled angrily.
Zhou Hua hesitated and walked away in despair.
The surrounding neighbors were always watching, pointing and pointing.
Before, they took the time to ask Qian Weiguo and Yang Shuheng what was going on.
"Zhou Qiang is so awesome!"
"Yes, this is driving Zhou Hua out of the house."
"Yes, the Zhou family has a powerful character. From now on, let's see who dares to bully the Zhou family."
"Before, there were people trying to get a job quota for the Zhou family. Let's see who dares to go now?"
Several people entered the house.
"Xiaoqiang, I will explain the situation to the management of this courtyard later and ask them to take more care of you." Wang Xiuping said.
"Aunt Wang, you don't need to take care of me. I can do it and take good care of my brothers and sisters." Zhou Qiang said.
"What a good boy. You are still in school, right? I will tell your school that I will waive your tuition fees." Under this situation, Zhou Qiang, his two younger sisters and one younger brother became completely poor.
"Thank you Aunt Wang."
"In addition, there are some subsidies from the sub-district office." Wang Xiuping explained some other things, which are beneficial to Zhou Qiang's brothers and sisters.
"Thank you Aunt Wang."
"You're welcome. Xiaoqiang, is there anything else you can help with?"
"Aunt Wang, I heard that my relatives from my hometown are coming. When the time comes, I don't know how to entertain them. When they come, I would like to ask Aunt Wang to come over and help." The Zhou family still has a big problem, that is, relatives from their hometown. , I want to come to eat at home.
Wang Xiuping understood what was going on as soon as she heard it. "I understand. When they come, call me immediately. I will make the decision for you."
"I'm here to help, too." Qian is the national highway. He also knows that the Zhou family is now a piece of "fat meat" and many people are concerned about it.
Not long.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and others all returned to the courtyard.
Wang Xiuping called them to Zhou's house.
"You three are the stewards of this courtyard.
You all know the situation of Zhou Tie and his wife.
Zhou Hua separated and has moved out.
If Zhou Hua comes back to cause trouble in the future, you must stop him. You must not let Zhou Hua bully Zhou Qiang and his brothers and sisters. "
"Okay, Director Wang, we will definitely stop Zhou Hua." Liu Haizhong nodded hurriedly and agreed.
Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui also nodded in agreement.
"Also, be careful with the other people in the courtyard and don't let them bully Zhou Qiang and the others." Wang Xiuping continued to warn.
"Director Wang, don't worry, our courtyard is a civilized courtyard, no one will bully Xiaoqiang and the others." Yan Bugui said with a smile.
"It's best not, otherwise, I will personally send him to the police station to receive education." Wang Xiuping said harsh words and then left with a few more instructions.
Qian Weiguo also gave a few words of advice: "Master Yi, Master Liu, we are all from the steel rolling mill. Zhou Tie and Zheng Rong passed away on duty. You must take good care of Zhou Qiang and others."
Teacher Yan, your home is in the front yard, please take care of Zhou Qiang and the others."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one dares to bully Zhou Qiang and the others." Liu Haizhong agreed.
"Don't worry, Master Qian, my family is nearby and will help." Yan Bugui said with a smile.
Yi Zhonghai also promised to take care of Zhou Qiang and the others.
After a while.
Everyone left.
The only ones left in the Zhou family are Zhou Qiang, Zhou Juan, Zhou Fang, and Zhou Sheng, four children who are still in school.
A feeling of desolation emerged.
Zhou Qiang hurriedly ordered: "Xiaojuan, let's have noodles for dinner, please help me.
Xiaofang, you and Xiaosheng play together. "
