Zhang Songjie is not confused, but has great wisdom far beyond ordinary people.

Zhang Songjie knows how Zhang Ke’s store is doing. He also sees the hard work and hard work of Zhang Ke and Wang Hui’s couple. He never wanted to enjoy the blessings of his son in the past. He has hands and feet. Both have art in the body, guarding a herbal shop, as long as there is not too much hurdles, they can support several children, and let each child live well.

Zhang Songjie has this ability and confidence.

Therefore, he never reached out to Zhang Ke. Instead, he invested several tens of thousands of money saved by his old couple to Zhang Ke’s store. Whether the money could come back, he never even thought that his son was Naturally, he knows what kind of character is better than anyone, so he has never expected it at all.

Zhang Ke’s expression today makes Zhang Songjie feel strange. No matter what happened before, Zhang Ke never showed such an expression in front of his parents. "Open" can take away savings from parents. I never felt embarrassed, but thought it was justified.

Therefore, Zhang Songjie secretly felt strange in his heart, and he simply settled down, wanting to hear what his son had to say.

After Zhang Ke hesitated for a while, he still used a relatively tactful tone to express what he meant.

Zhang Songjie sighed softly. It turned out that he wanted to separate his family. Hey, it seems that his son has finally grown up and he knows to take his own responsibilities. After waiting for this day, he actually waited for a long time, but he never buried his heart. Zhang Songjie felt very good that his son could summon the courage to bring it up by himself. In this way, it would save a lot of disputes in the future.

After pondering for a while, just when Zhang Ke thought his father would be furious, Zhang Songjie said: "Please come over, your mother and Wang Hui. Dad has a few words, and I will tell you all today."

Although Wang Hui was helping her mother wash the pots and dishes in the kitchen, she was always in the living room. Hearing Zhang Ke's call, she tidied up the dishes and went back to the living room with her mother-in-law, listening to what her father said about the separation. Things.

Zhang Songjie waited for his wife and son and daughter-in-law to sit in the living room, and then slowly said: "Just then Zhang Ke proposed to me to live in another house. This made me feel that the child has finally grown up and can be separated. Say, this is a big event, and also a happy event. Counting from your grandparents' generations, our Zhang family hasn't divided the house for about a hundred years."

Kong Lingshan sighed lightly. She naturally understood her husband’s mind. The Zhang family used to be unwilling to divide the house, but the people were always unable to thrive. Every time it came to Cheng Ding, it was war chaotic. For hundreds of years, There is only one single seedling left in the Zhang family, and now it has finally opened its branches and leaves. This is indeed a big event and a happy event for the continuation of the Zhang family.

Zhang Songjie raised his hand to stop Zhang Ke and Wang Hui’s preparations for speaking, and continued: "In the past, I always felt that you were still young, and I was afraid that you would not be able to withstand the wind, rain and sun after you were separated, so I never mentioned it. Now that you have finally raised the issue of household division, it shows that you can understand and have the courage to take on your own responsibilities. Dad and your mother are both happy."

Zhang Ke and Wang Hui didn't expect that their father would say such a passage, and they didn't know what it was like for a while.

Zhang Songjie continued: "According to our tradition here, the separation is to invite the elderly in the neighbourhood and your uncle to come over to testify, but our Zhang family is in a special situation, and some things are inconvenient to talk to outsiders. Today, Let me talk about a general plan first. Go back and discuss it. If you don’t have any comments, you will settle this matter on the weekend."

Zhang Ke and Wang Hui looked at each other, then nodded at the same time. Wang Hui said, "We listen to you."

Looking at his son, both Zhang Songjie and Kong Lingshan frowned slightly. Zhang Ke should have spoken at this time, but Zhang Ke gave the right to speak to Wang Hui, which made Zhang Songjie and Kong Lingshan feel There was a slight displeasure, and also, the separation plan that Zhang Songjie had originally thought of in his heart also changed at this moment.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Songjie said: "As for the situation in our family, you all know that your brothers and sisters are in order, and it is impossible to achieve an absolute balance. The times are different, and people's requirements and perspectives are also different. There are differences. For example, when you bought a bicycle when you got married, it still has to be worth a motorcycle at the very least. It’s not a good idea to use a bicycle as a dowry according to your time.

Zhang Songjie said this for a reason. There were many similar farces in the same village. When Zhang Ke and Wang Hui were married, there was indeed a Phoenix bicycle in the dowry. It was very beautiful for a while.

When Zhang Ke and Wang Hui heard their father talk about this, they couldn't help but smile. In the afternoon, the two also said that the price of goods has more than five or six times higher than in previous years. They don’t want their father to use bicycles and motorcycles at night. The analogy of cars is not that great in reality, but people do think so. Motorcycles today are not necessarily as beautiful as bicycles at that time.

Zhang Songjie just talked about the focus of today: "You can now be independent. If you still live together and stir a spoon in a pot, it will be unfair to you and will restrict your development. Then Afeng will get married and start a family. , As well as providing for the aged and studying until they get married. That is your mother's and I's responsibility. Naturally, it shouldn't fall on you both."

"With the Zhang family's veteran account, there is no problem supporting your younger siblings. The family property is only this ancestral house. If you sell it, it is not worth a lot of money. If you rebuild it on the spot, It’s better to apply for a new foundation. The old house is all rubbish and nothing can be used. So, this one is irrelevant. No matter who of you wants to come back to live, there is a place to stay. If you want to live in yourself If you start a new house, you can apply for the village base yourself, the family does not care about it."

"The old account of Zhang family was used by your mother and I to support you in setting up a family. Now you two are able to be independent, so it has nothing to do with you. When your younger brothers and sisters are also able to become independent, the old account of Zhang family will complete his mission. Ah, your second brother, not only did he not spend the family money in college, but he also remitted a lot of living expenses to his home. Among the few brothers, only A Feng and your grandfather had learned a few percent of the herbal medicine that our Zhang family relies on. Ability, so ah, this pharmacy will belong to Afeng in the future."

"Forget the money that your family gave you one after another, and the store belongs to both of you. How about this plan?"

"Then who will your second elder return?" Wang Hui took the lead and choked Zhang Ke who was about to speak. At the same time, Zhang Songjie and Kong Lingshan felt even more unhappy, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they took the initiative to separate their families.

"Our old Zhang family has traditions. Whoever inherits the ancestral property will support the elderly. Of course, this includes this ancestral home. The three of your brothers, except Zhang Feng, are not eligible to inherit the ancestral property. It is also a ruin for you to leave things to you. Your mother and I are under Zhang Feng's support, so don't worry." Zhang Songjie's tone has gradually cooled down, "You two will go back and think about it, and come back on weekends."
