Chapter 30

The divorce procedures in the commune were simple.

The main thing was to issue a divorce certificate, transfer the household registration of Liang Donghe and her daughter from the Gao family to the Liang family, and then update the household registration books of the two families.

As for the divorce certificate, it couldn't be issued in the commune. If you wanted it, you could take the divorce certificate and go to the county to apply for one.

However, when going through the household relocation procedures, Director Zhang found a problem.

He said, "Hey, Old Party Secretary, Comrade Liang Donghe was not originally on your household registration book. There is no record of her moving out here. "

"This is my niece," said Father Liang, "In fact, she was adopted when she was young. We raised her. We didn't think it was necessary to make trouble before, so her household registration was always registered with her parents. This time she moved back, she was simply registered with our family."

"So that's how it is," Director Zhang asked casually, "Have her parents agreed?"

Although Comrade Liang Donghe is already an adult woman, there must be a basis for such a household registration transfer.

Father Liang looked at Liang Donghe's two brothers, Liang Jinzhi and Liang Jinmu.

The eldest brother Liang Jinzhi hurriedly said, "It's agreed. Our family was poor when we were young and couldn't support my sister. My sister was raised by my uncle when she was young. It's just that we are all family members, so we didn't come to transfer any household registration. "

He then took out the household registration booklet from his pocket and handed it to Director Zhang, saying, "Look, my father asked me to take it with me before I left."

Director Zhang nodded.

Although he was just asking for routine questions, he would have done it without the household registration booklet, but it would have been best to have the booklet.

After looking at the household registration booklet and asking everything clearly, Director Zhang made a record in the commune household registration booklet, opened a divorce certificate, and stamped it with a big red stamp from the commune. He then took the Gao family household registration booklet and looked at it carefully. He wrote the three words "Moved Out" behind the names of Liang Donghe, Gao Zhenzhen, and Gao Zhuzhu, and then stamped it with a big red stamp.

However, just as he flipped through the Liang family household registration booklet, opened a new page, and was about to write the names of Liang Donghe, Gao Zhenzhen, and Gao Zhuzhu, the little girl Zhenzhen, who had been staring at the pen in his hand, suddenly shouted "Director Zhang".

"Director Zhang, wait. "

Director Zhang stopped writing and looked up at the little girl.

Hey, does this little girl have a different opinion?

Other people in the room also looked at her.

The Gao family thought she was a member of the Gao family after all, and she was really reluctant to move away.

Old Man Gao thought he was the one who often gave sweet dates, and just as he was about to persuade her with soft words, he heard the little girl say: "If we move to the household registration book of our great grandpa and great grandma, we will not be a member of the Gao family anymore. Then can my sister and I stop calling each other Gao Zhenzhen and Gao Zhuzhu? Let's take our mother's surname and our great grandfather's surname, Liang, and call ourselves Liang Zhenzhen and Liang Zhuzhu. Is that okay? "

Zhenzhen's hand was holding her sister Zhuzhu's hand from beginning to end.

When she mustered up the courage to say this, her face and body were tense, and her hand hurt Zhuzhu, but Zhuzhu didn't cry out in pain, just nodded with her sister and said, "Yes, don't use the surname Gao anymore."

The Gao family was so angry that they were stunned.

Director Zhang and other leaders of the commune didn't expect that the little girl would say this.

He looked at Liang Donghe and said, "Comrade Liang Donghe, what is your opinion?"

"Change it!"

Liang Donghe said, "It should be changed!"

"This, damn it, this is against the law of nature!"

The Gao family members all looked unhappy. Old Gao wanted to say a few words, but when Old Lady Gao shouted and Liang Jinxi's mocking eyes swept over, they didn't care about whether to change their surnames or not, and they were busy.The mess made Gao the old lady.

Director Zhang lowered his head and wrote down "Liang Zhenzhen" and "Liang Zhuzhu" neatly after seeing this.

Then he wrote the date, February 2, 1973, the lunar New Year's Eve.

Originally, the lunar calendar was not written, but today was a special day, so he added it on purpose.

After writing, he stamped it with a big red stamp, smiled at Gao Zhenzhen, no, Liang Zhenzhen, who was staring at the household registration book nervously, handed the household registration book to her, and said, "Here, it's changed."

Zhenzhen stretched out her hands to take the household registration book, her excited little hands were shaking.

She turned her head and looked at her mother, her great grandmother.

Auntie Hu nodded at her and said, "This household registration book will be with you today. You can take it home later, and your great grandmother will put it in the cabinet."

Zhenzhen nodded, her eyes were already wet.

She held the household registration book, turned around and glared at the Gao family, and suddenly shouted at us: "I am no longer a member of the Gao family. You are no longer qualified to beat me, and no longer qualified to rob me and my sister's things. If you want to rob my things and give them to Gao Laibao and Gao Laifu again, I will go to the brigade and the commune to sue you!"

She was not satisfied after she finished speaking. She held the household registration book in one hand and pulled her sister with the other hand, saying, "Zhuzhu, you also say it, tell them that they can no longer bully us!"

Zhuzhu has always been a loyal supporter of her sister, not to mention that this book is also her voice.

Hearing her sister say this to her, she immediately shouted: "Yes, you can no longer beat me, rob the dolls made by my sister for me, rob the clothes and food given to us by my great grandmother, and force us to work day and night. We are no longer your Gao family!"

The women of the Liang family had tears in their eyes when they heard the words of the two children.

The leaders of the commune felt sour when they heard it.

The Gao family is really sinful!

Besides, you are too short-sighted. Grandchildren are important, but your family is not without grandchildren. Such good in-laws, but you have become enemies. Look, Gao Chongping's position as a tractor driver is not a stable job. Without the Liang family behind him, someone will soon be tempted!

The Gao family over there was furious.

The old lady Gao wanted to jump up and say something, but was pulled back by the old man Gao.

The old man Gao said: "No matter what, it's always..."

But he got stuck before he finished speaking.

She even changed her surname. Is she still their granddaughter?

After the Liang family finished their business, they didn't bother to care about the Gao family. They said hello to the commune leaders and left in a big group.

The Gao family: ...

The old lady Gao covered her chest and wanted to beat her chest and stamp her feet. After all, she was dragged away by the old man Gao. Isn't it embarrassing enough?

*****

Lin Shu followed Shitou to Liang's house, and along the way she heard Shitou talking excitedly about the divorce in the commune this afternoon.

"Aunt Lin, I want to be like my second uncle in the future and join the People's Liberation Army!"

He raised his fist, his eyes sparkling, and said, "You don't know, Aunt Lin, the Gao family cried and made a fuss, and my second uncle glared at that Gao Chongping, and he immediately became timid. He knelt down immediately when he was a decent man before! The Gao family didn't dare to make a fuss anymore! Second uncle is so powerful!"

Lin Shu:...

She also thinks Liang Jinxi is very powerful.

But...

"Aunt Lin, you will be my second aunt in the future, right? My second uncle is so powerful, I don't want to let others take advantage of you!" That, she felt that his tone was wrong, it turned out that he was waiting here!

But, what does it mean to let others take advantage of you?

Is your second uncle a treasure?

However, Little Stone has always been naive and is often ordered around by his brother. Children around him are either very clever, very mature, or very naughty. This child is really rare. Lin Shu likes him very much.

In addition, today is New Year's Eve, Liang Donghe successfully divorced, Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu changed their surnames, and there is also the matter of the textile factory. These made Lin Shu in a good mood, so he was quite interested in teasing him a few times, saying: "Whether it is good for me or others, isn't it good for people? Who is different? As long as your second uncle likes her, you have to call her second aunt."

"How can it be the same?"

Little Stone said seriously, "People say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. My second uncle has been in the army and is rarely at home. The last time I saw him was several years ago. This time I saw him. Although I like him and want to be close to him, I am still a little afraid of him... If he gets married outside and has a second aunt I don't know, I feel that I don't have a second uncle! My grandmother doesn't like him to marry someone he doesn't know outside!"

...What does it mean to have a stepfather if there is a stepmother?

What kind of metaphor is this?

Lin Shu wanted to laugh, but after listening to him finish this whole paragraph, and involving Aunt Hu, and looking at his serious expression, he felt that he shouldn't laugh.

I should answer him seriously.

She thought for a while and said, "You said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Actually, this is not true. If you marry a stepmother, you will become a stepfather. Then this father is not a good father. The root of the problem lies with this father. That is, if your biological father really loves you and is a powerful person, how bad can the stepmother do? So the problem with your second uncle is also caused by your second uncle. Don't worry, didn't you just say that your second uncle is very powerful? No matter who he marries as your second aunt in the future, he will definitely treat you and be filial to you as before."

Little Stone said "Oh" and nodded.

The two talked all the way back to Liang's house.

After entering the house, Liang Jinxi was writing couplets in the main hall.

Lin ShuAfter saying hello to him, he went to the kitchen to find Aunt Hu.

Little Stone went to chat with his second uncle and said, "Second uncle, I just told Aunt Lin to be my second aunt. Aunt Lin said that it's up to you, second uncle. Only if you like it, I can call her second aunt. Second uncle, don't you like Aunt Lin? Aunt Lin is so good."

Liang Jinxi paused with the pen in his hand and looked up at him: "Did she say that to you?"

Little Stone nodded very affirmatively and said, "Yes, Aunt Lin said so, and she also said you are great."

"Second uncle, Aunt Lin admires you very much!"

Little Stone lowered his voice and said, "I When I went to their dormitory earlier, I heard Xu Zhiqing persuade Aunt Lin to come to you and spend more time with you, but Aunt Lin was embarrassed, and Xu Zhiqing said Aunt Lin was useless. Second uncle, Aunt Lin is a girl, you have to treat her better. "

"Pa", Liang Jinxi slapped him on the head and said, "You are so young, where did you learn it?"

"Grandma said,"

Little Stone covered his head and jumped away, saying confidently, "Grandma always kept saying that I should be nicer to Sister Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu?"

*****

Lin Shu didn't know that the silly little stone had pitted himself.

She went to the kitchen, where Aunt Hu, Zhou Xiuhong, Liang Donghe, Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu were all in the kitchen.

They were frying various dumplings, and the whole kitchen was filled with fragrance.

Lin Shu went in and saw that everyone was busy, Zhou Xiuhong and Liang Donghe were making dumplings, Aunt Hu was frying, Zhenzhen was making fire, and Zhuzhu was rubbing against her aunt and mother, and was fed from time to time. "Aunt Shushu!"

Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu were happy to call Lin Shu when they saw her.

Lin Shu saw the smiles on their faces. Although she was still thin and dark, her eyes were bright and she looked completely different. She went over and pinched Zhuzhu's little face, then greeted Zhenzhen, and then turned to ask Aunt Hu, "Aunt, is there anything I can help with? I'll come and help."

Aunt Hu was holding a colander to dry the lotus root balls that had just been fried. She looked back at Lin Shu and said with a smile, "It's full here. It's almost done. Just wait and eat it."

She put the colander on a large bowl beside her, and brought a bowl of paste from the side to her, saying, "Jinxi is writing couplets, but his handwriting is okay for the town gate. You should come and write the blessing characters in the house. It's more comfortable to look at them. Ask him to paste them for you. He's tall, so it's convenient for him to paste the door couplets."

Lin Shu smiled and agreed.

She knew that the aunt was trying to match her with him.

Liang Jinxi would spend the New Year at home, and in a few days he would accompany her to Xizhou City. It would be almost time for him to return to the army.

No matter what, she should put aside her distractions and get along with him openly.

She went over and put the bowl of paste on the table, looked over, and then couldn't help laughing.

He turned to look at her.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Actually, your handwriting is better than mine."

It was really powerful, but with bones, not as round and beautiful as hers. The aunt said it looked good at the town gate, probably because it looked too fierce.

"Come on,"

He handed her the pen, and then said in a flat tone, "My mother is used to disliking me. Since I was a child, she has never disliked me. She always thinks I block the light wherever I stand."

Huh?

Lin Shu never thought that he would say such a sentence to her.

Is he chatting with her? Or joking?

She tilted her head slightly to look at him carefully, and saw that his expression was no different from before.

It was just that perhaps because it was New Year's Eve, in such a special atmosphere, the fierce aura on him that was hard to ignore faded a lot.

"Why?"

She asked subconsciously.

"Too high."

Lin Shu: ...
