Liu Hai was so angry that he charged at Liu Guangtian with his belt. Liu Guangtian couldn't dodge in time and was slapped a few times. His body was burning with pain, and he reacted by kicking Liu Hai.
Liu Guangqi saw the opportunity and shouted,""Liu Guangtian has rebelled against you. How dare you hit our dad!”Hence, he rushed up to the father and son duo, and Liu Guangtian was beaten black and blue.
Hearing the commotion, the people in the backyard came out. Wang Qing was naturally among them. It was not bad to have a little change in life when it was boring.
"Xiao Shuang, get a stool for big brother.”
"Okay, wait for me, brother." Xiao Shuang turned around and ran into the house.
After a while, Xiao Shuang came back with a long bench and a handful of melon seeds in her hand, as if she was watching the show.
"Ka Ba, Ka Ba."
The people in the courtyard looked at the three siblings. They were having a heated fight, but they were here to watch the show.
Yi Zhonghai rushed over when he heard the news. He pulled the three of them apart and said,""Old Liu, what are you doing? If you have something to say, why are you hitting me?”
Liu Haizhong said," Old Yi, don't worry about it. I'm going to beat this little bastard to death today. How dare he fight back?"”
Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Guangtian, who was in a terrible state. His face was swollen and covered in blood. Yi Zhonghai said,""Guangtian, did you fight with your dad?”
Liu Guangtian felt wronged, and his anger was greater than his grievance. He said,""Grandpa Yi, my dad hit me first. I kicked him subconsciously, and then my brother and dad joined forces to hit me.”
Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong." Old Liu, is Guangtian telling the truth? Why did you hit him?"”
Liu Haizhong stammered. He couldn't say that he wanted to snatch Liu Guangtian's white noodles.
Liu Guangtian said," Master Yi, you also know that our factory was given 20 catties of white flour. My father came back and asked for it from me. If I didn't give it to him, he would beat me with his belt. You know that we're separated now. You know how I was treated at home in the past. Why should I take money to support Liu Guangqi?"”
Everyone started to discuss. Everyone knew what Liu Guangtian was like at home. He ate well and was often beaten up. Only Liu Guangqi didn't get beaten up.
Second Aunt's face also turned red. She knew what she was doing. Her husband was in the wrong.
Liu Haizhong didn't say anything. Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Guangtian and said,""Guangtian, what do you want to do?"
Liu Guangtian glared at Liu Haizhong and said,""Master Yi, I can't stay in this family anymore. I want to completely separate from the family and set up my own family.”
Everyone took a deep breath. Liu Guangtian wanted to go to heaven and separate the household registration.
"Dream on, I don't agree." Liu Haizhong shouted angrily.”
"Guangtian, things haven't reached that stage yet. It won't be nice if word gets out. It might even affect our entry into the compound."”
Liu Guangtian couldn't help but look at Wang Qing, who was eating melon seeds with relish.""Brother Qingzi, I want to split the household register."
Wang Qing didn't think that eating melon seeds would involve him. He patted the melon seed skin on his body and said,""Grandpa Yi, people can split up when they reach the age of 18. This won't affect the image of our Siheyuan.
Even if you don't agree, Liu Guangtian can go to the streets. The streets will agree to Second Master's domestic violence. That will affect Second Master's image. Moreover, Liu Guangtian will have to bear the responsibility of providing for him.”
When Liu Haizhong heard that they were going to make a scene on the streets, he immediately stopped talking. He did not want to lose face on the streets. If that happened, it would be even harder for him to become an official.
Yi Zhonghai also agreed with Wang Qing. This would not affect anything. Liu Guangtian would still be living in the courtyard. How would others know why they had split up?
"I think it's fine, but how much do you think Liu Guangtian will give you every month?”
"Ten yuan a month, not a single cent less!" Liu Haizhong demanded.”
Xu Damao jumped out from the crowd and said,""Second Uncle, you're being unreasonable. How can you ask for so much?”
Liu Guangtian also said," No, why don't we go to the streets? I'll listen to the streets no matter how much they want me to pay."”
" Alright," Yi Zhonghai interrupted." I'll make the decision. It'll be five yuan a month."”
Wang Qing nodded." Master Yi is right. Liu Guangtian, you guys go to the street to get your household registration."”
Liu Guangtian had 27.50 yuan a month, so he had 22.50 yuan left after taking out five yuan. It was enough for him to live on. With Wang Qing's help from time to time, his life would be as happy as a god. He nodded and said,"I'll listen to Brother Zi."
Things went smoothly. After they returned from the street, Liu Guangtian was separated from the old Liu family. From now on, they would live their own lives and not interfere with each other.
During dinner, Silly Zhu said to Wang Qing,""Qingzi, we spent the last thirty years with First Uncle and Old Madam at the Jia family's house. This year, First Uncle also greeted us.”
Wang Qing didn't want to live with them, especially when he saw that the Jia family wouldn't be able to eat. He shook his head and said,""Our family will live on our own. You can go over when you're done cooking.”
Silly Zhu didn't force it, knowing that Wang Qing and the Jia family didn't get along, he smiled and said,""Then you have to give me some meat. Otherwise, I'll go empty-handed.”
"I'll give you a pound of hind leg meat when the time comes. That should be enough, right?" Wang Qing nodded.”
Shazhu nodded and smiled,"Enough, it's still Qingzi's anger."”
On the morning of the eve of the new year, heavy snow fell from the sky, dyeing the city white.
Zhang Mei looked at the heavy snow outside and smiled.""Auspicious snow is a sign of a bumper year. I hope next year will be a good year.”
Wang Qingke knew that the grain shortage would only be alleviated in the beginning of 1963. It was only the beginning of 1961 now, so there were still two more years to go.
Wang Qing also wanted to help the people grow food, but he was only at the tenth level of Qi Refinement. Refining jade talismans also took a lot of effort. It was impossible to refine them in large quantities, so he could only stay out of it.
Dressed in new clothes and hats and gloves, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang led Wang Zhaodi and a group of children to build a snowman in the courtyard. From time to time, they would chatter and laugh like silver bells.
After breakfast, Wang Qing strolled along the streets alone, looking at the Old Four Nine City under the snow.
As soon as he stepped out of Qianmen Street, he saw a middle-aged woman walking toward him. She was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket and wore a headscarf on her head.
"Qingzi, what are you doing?”
Wang Qing took a closer look and saw that it was the street director, Sister Wang. She smiled and greeted,"Sister Wang, I'm just here to see Xue Jing 'er. Where are you going in such a hurry?”
Sister Wang smiled." You're the one who's free. You're still in the mood to admire the snow. I was just thinking of looking for you."”
"What's the matter, Sister Wang?" Wang Qing asked curiously.”
Sister Wang sighed." Aren't there some refugees assigned by the higher-ups? They want us to see if there are any suitable young people who can be taken home as daughters-in-law so as to reduce the burden on the higher-ups. I'm having a headache right now. I remembered that you're already of age, so I wanted you to go over and see if there's anyone you like. If there's anyone, you can bring them home as daughters-in-law."
You'll be of legal age on the 21st this year. Sis Wang has a very beautiful girl here. Take a look and see if she's suitable. If you like her, you can take her back. Sis Wang can tell you that the child is very beautiful. If it weren't for her four-year-old sister, she would have been taken home long ago.
Besides, your family doesn't lack this bit of food to support one person, right?”
