105. Dividing the family property

An Rong: "You're in third grade now, and you already know some characters, which is enough. If you continue for two more years, you'll graduate from elementary school. Even if you get into junior high or high school, we can't afford to support you. It's better for you to just stop going to school now and come back to work with us in the production team to earn work points."

An Gui: "My second uncle said that once I graduate from junior high school, I can become a private school teacher."

An Rong: "I used to believe what my second uncle said, but now he can't even take care of himself. Who can guarantee that if you go to junior high school, you'll definitely become a private school teacher?"

Qi Anrong had been living in the beautiful dream woven for him by his second uncle, which he believed wholeheartedly until his leg was amputated and he was sent back, at which point his dream was completely shattered and he finally woke up.

Qi Anrong, who had just woken from his dream, was very calm.

In such times, simply being alive is the greatest luxury.

So many people starved to death before, yet they still had to eke out a living. Now that there is grain to grow, there will be a harvest in two months, and people will not starve to death. They can make a living without relying on their second uncle's family.

There's no need for my fourth brother to go to school. It makes no difference whether he goes for two more or two less years. He'll eventually come back to farm anyway, so why bother going to school for two more years?

His parents are both dead, and as the eldest son, he naturally makes the decisions in this family.

Qi Anrong personally went to his second uncle's house, leaning on his cane.

When Qi Zhengyang heard that Qi Anrong wanted to divide the family property, he felt ashamed and helpless.

“Anrong, don’t take your second aunt’s words to heart. I will not abandon you.”

"Second Uncle, it's settled then. Actually, there's not much to divide the family. Our two families have long since established their own households. It's just that I was away from home for a while, and I troubled you to take care of my younger siblings. Now that I'm back, I will take good care of them."

"But, Anrong, your leg..."

"By the way, I'll have to trouble my second uncle to put in a good word for me with the team leader. I'll be the points recorder, so I can still earn work points without having to work so hard."

"Yes, yes, you are perfectly capable of doing this job. Besides, your leg was injured while rescuing earthquake victims, so the team should take care of you."

"Second Uncle, it's settled then. Please tell the team that our two families' work points will be recorded separately from now on. There's nothing else to divide."

Qi Zhengyang: "Alright! We'll live separately. At the end of the year, after we divide the money, your second aunt, An Hua, An Fu, and I will receive a total of 126 yuan in work points. You should have received 63 yuan, but I spent 16 yuan on shoes for your younger brother and sister, so you should receive 47 yuan. However, I only have 60 yuan left. Your second aunt is about to give birth, and she needs money. Can I pay you back later when I have more?"

"Okay, Uncle will pay back the forty-seven yuan when he has the money later."

Watching his eldest nephew walk away on crutches, Qi Zhengyang felt a mix of emotions.

Therefore, he had another big argument with Du Mei.

Actually, when An Rong suggested that they live on their own and didn't want to cause them any more trouble, Qi Zhengyang felt a sense of relief, but also a strange sense of irritation and discomfort.

His argument with Du Mei over his nephew's desire to divide the family property was merely an excuse to vent his frustration.

After Qi Zhengyang had a big argument with Du Mei, he went out and went to find Captain Sanbao.

Qi Zhengyang told Sanbao about Anrong's situation and hoped that Sanbao could take better care of Anrong.

Sanbao readily agreed.

"Alright, An Rong was injured while saving people's lives and property, so the team will naturally take care of him. Let him be the scorekeeper every day!"

Qi Anrong was discharged from the military normally. Most people only know that he was injured during a rescue operation, but they don't know the specifics.

So the villagers felt sorry for him and sympathized with him.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, the sound of firecrackers echoed throughout the village, finally bringing a festive atmosphere after two years of famine.

People hoped that the sound of firecrackers would dispel the gloom brought about by the famine.

Su Jinru prepared a sumptuous meal with chicken and fish and invited her parents and younger brother to her home for New Year's Eve dinner.

Two years after my rebirth, I have plenty of food in my space, but I haven't dared to share it with my family. It's a hard feeling to bear.

Now that the famine is over, it's Lunar New Year's Eve, and everyone knows she earns thirty yuan a month, so preparing such a lavish meal shouldn't be a problem.

So no one doubted where her food came from.

My mother just scolded her, saying that we should be more frugal. One piece of meat is enough; it's too wasteful to make two.

Su Jinru put a large piece of chicken into her mother's bowl.

"Mom, it's been more than two years since you've had meat, hasn't it? Today is Chinese New Year, so you can eat your fill."

Liu Yulan: "It's been more than two years since I've eaten meat. I've almost forgotten what meat tastes like."

As Su Jinxuan ate his chicken, he remarked with emotion, "If we could eat rice and meat every day, that would truly be a wonderful thing."

In her past life, Su Jinru suffered a lifelong pain because her younger brother starved to death.

Seeing how much he was enjoying the meat, Su Jinru said with affection, "Life will only get better from now on. Eating meat every day, at every meal, will not be a problem."

"Really? Big sister!"

"Really, there will come a day when all kinds of meat and all kinds of delicious food will be available, and you can eat whatever you want, every day, at every meal."

Anran: "My mom can cook lots of delicious food. She said that everyone's life will be better in the future, and she will cook for us every day."

An Xin: "We eat sweet potatoes and potatoes every day in the cafeteria. They're not as good as my mom's cooking."

Su Ke: "We've only just started to have some food, it's already pretty good, and you're still being picky."

Liu Yulan: "I heard that there are still many places suffering from disasters, and many people are starving to death."

Su Jinru: "Yes! Various disasters have occurred in other places, and they are still suffering from hunger."

Liu Yulan: "In our village, there are only a few families who can afford to eat rice, let alone meat. Today is a holiday, and no one is coming to check, so we can have a good meal without anyone telling us."

An Ran and An Xin shook their heads.

"We won't tell."

After dinner, Su Jinru took out the new clothes she had bought for her parents and younger brother, providing them with complete outfits from head to toe.

"These are new clothes I bought for you. You don't need to go to work these few days because it's Chinese New Year. Wear your new clothes to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new."

Liu Yulan said with heartache, "It doesn't matter if the clothes are a little torn, as long as they are washed clean, there is no need to spend money to buy new ones."

"Mom, it won't cost much. Your old clothes are so worn out they'll fall apart with the slightest tug."

"You should buy the fabric and make it yourself; buying ready-made clothes is too expensive."
