Zhou family!
Zhou Yang saw that his uncle's hands were struggling to carry the basin and he was sweating profusely, so he immediately hurried up to meet him.
"Brother, what do you have in this basin?"
Since there was a slightly smaller basin attached to the big aluminum basin, Zhou Yang didn't see what was inside!
"It's nothing, just some pig bones and some haggis!"
Then Li Jianguo said again: "Everyone in the village knows how good you are, so they asked me to bring you these things, which weigh a full 40 to 50 kilograms!"
"How embarrassing!"
Even so, when he spoke, Zhou Yang's throat subconsciously swallowed.
Perhaps the food these days is too scarce and monotonous, even Zhou Yang feels that he has underestimated most things.
But when it comes to meat, the body still gives honest feedback.
"Haha, what's so embarrassing about this? You don't know how busy the school is in the afternoon. If Party Secretary Wang hadn't stopped him, everyone would be rushing to come to your house to give gifts!" The uncle laughed. said.
"Why don't I know what gift you are giving?"
"You are accompanying those big leaders, of course you don't know!"
Then Li Jianguo continued: "Every household has received a lot of money today, and everyone knows that it is because of you, so someone proposed to buy you something to express their feelings, and most of the educated youth members responded. ..”
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang said: "No need. Besides, being able to get so much money is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I'm just talking."
"And our family doesn't even have a decent labor force, but we can get more than 2,000 yuan. This is not like taking advantage of the big guys!"
Li Jianguo smiled and said, "You can't even coax a rough guy like me with your words, let alone others!"
"I am telling the truth!"
"You're just kidding me with your truth. Listen to me. The members originally planned to raise funds to buy you a bicycle, and they had the money ready, but they were stopped by Party Secretary Wang!"
Then Li Jianguo said again: "He said that you will definitely not accept it, and you are not short of money. Instead of giving you those messy things, it is better to give you some whole meat to eat, so I thought of sending you these bones and offal." !”
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Secretary Wang still understands me!"
Zhou Yang really has no love for bicycles.
It’s not that I can’t afford it, but I think it’s not worth it and it’s inconvenient. A 28-meter-long sedan with a ticket costs more than 180 yuan, which is almost equivalent to half a year’s salary of an ordinary person. Really not worth it.
And when you go out, you have to prevent fire and theft, which is too troublesome.
After being assigned a car at the research institute, Zhou Yang no longer wanted to buy this thing.
"Hahaha, I know you like this!" Li Jianguo said with a smile.
Then he walked into the house carrying a large aluminum basin, and placed the large aluminum basin filled with meat bones and offal next to the stove.
"Brother-in-law, find a basin and dump the bones and offal inside. I have to take the basin away when I go back!" Li Jianguo said.
"OK!"
With that said, Zhou Yang quickly found a basin at home and planned to free up the large aluminum basin brought by his uncle.
Just as he was about to get started, the door to the back room suddenly squeaked, and then he saw Li Youwei walking out of the room.
"I'll do it, you and brother sit down and rest for a while!"
"It's okay..."
Before Zhou Yang could finish speaking, he heard Li Jianguo say: "Brother-in-law, let Weiwei do this. If you are fine, come back to my old house with me!"
"Why are you going back to your old house?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.
"Dad asked me to call you over, maybe to discuss the separation of the family!" Li Jianguo said.
"Split the family?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yang and Li Youwei were stunned, their eyes full of shock.
Chinese people have valued "filial piety" and peace of mind since ancient times, so they have extremely strict regulations on family separation.
For example, the Tang Dynasty, which had the most open atmosphere, had regulations: If the parents were still alive, it would be a crime to propose a family separation and there would be corresponding punishments. If there is no separation, there will be rewards.
For another example, the Braided Dynasty was even more straightforward. It was directly stipulated in the Qing regulations: If the grandparents and parents are still alive, and the descendants and grandchildren establish separate household registrations and divide the property, they will be punished with a hundred sticks.
This is clearly written. If the family is divided between the descendants while the elders are still alive, they will be spanked a hundred times.
This custom has been passed down like this. Although we often see brothers and uncles dividing their families locally, it is mostly done after the death of the elder.
However, the old father-in-law is now in good health, so why does he suddenly think of dividing the family for his sons?
"Dad said he wanted to separate our families. I don't know the specific situation. How about brother-in-law, go and persuade dad?" Li Jianguo said.
Although Zhou Yang had some guesses in his mind, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he said to Li Youwei: "Then you cook at home first, and my eldest brother and I will go to the old house!"
"Well, although I don't know what dad thinks, it is not good to separate the family after all. If you can, please persuade him more!" Li Youwei said.
"OK!"
After saying that, Zhou Yang and Li Jianguo worked together to pour the meat from the large aluminum basin into their own basin.
Then the two of them took two large and small basins, took Liu Yunlong with them, and went straight to the Li family's old house.
...........
When Zhou Yang and others arrived at the Li family's old house, they found that the atmosphere in the house was a bit strange as soon as they entered.
All the adults in the Li family were sitting around the main room, but none of the children were seen.
When Zhou Yang entered the door, he saw Huzi and several younger brothers and sisters playing in the wing. He even saw his daughter and Wen Hui, who must have been rushed there specially.
Seeing Zhou Yang and others coming in, everyone greeted them one after another.
After Zhou Yang responded briefly, he came to his father-in-law and asked: "Dad, eldest brother said that you are planning to separate the family. Is it true?"
"Well, I have this idea!" Li Fengnian said while smoking a dry tobacco pot.
"Why? It is said that parents should not separate their families even if they are together. You..."
Li Fengnian looked at Zhou Yang, then at his sons and daughters-in-law, and then said: "It's common sense to divide the branches of trees and divide the families! But the main reason why our family is divided this time is that the situation is different."
"Dad, what situation can affect whether we can separate our families?" Li Jianguo asked loudly.
Li Fengnian glanced at his eldest son, and then said: "When I was in the village, it didn't matter if we separated our families, but now I work in the commune all year round, and I may even have to go to the county town to work in the future. Things at home are left to me. You make the arrangements. Over time, you brothers will inevitably have conflicts..."
Before he finished speaking, the third brother Li Jianjun said hurriedly: "Dad, we all obey the eldest brother, how can there be any conflicts?"
"Yes, dad, we all listen to big brother!" Li Guoqiang also echoed.
"I'm not worried about you brothers, but you also have your own wives and children. Over time, there will definitely be conflicts!" Li Fengnian said.
"Dad, we brothers are very close to each other. We have just had a good few days, why are you so troubled?" Li Jianguo obviously didn't understand his father's behavior.
"Brother, please calm down for a moment!"
Then Zhou Yang looked at his old father-in-law, and then said in a surprising way: "Dad, do you think our Lao Li family is too public and want to avoid the limelight?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room showed surprised expressions.
It seems that the family didn’t do anything extraordinary, so why did it become so public? And why can’t this matter be resolved by separate parties?
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Fengnian, waiting for his answer!
