I took He Wenhui to the He family yard on a bicycle to get the household registration book and marriage certificate, and then the two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for divorce.
It is quite simple for two people to divorce.
The marriage has not been long and there are no children, so there is no issue of child custody.
In terms of property, He Wenhui's salary is simply not enough to fill the bottomless pit of the He family. Liu Hongchang's salary must also be filled into the He family in order for the He family to live at the same level as their neighbors.
The family had no balance at all. When Liu Hongchang first came here, he only had more than three yuan in his pocket, so there was no problem with property.
"Let's go back and divide the belongings at home. We will have nothing to do with each other from now on. The road will be overturned and we will each go our own way."
At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, after receiving the divorce certificate, Liu Hongchang said to the lost He Wenhui.
"Hong Chang, how did we get to this point?"
Holding the marriage certificate in her hand, He Wenhui asked in despair.
The loss of the scapegoat was not a small matter for He Wenhui. It was related to the livelihood and survival of the family of five.
"Then ask yourself, after we got married, how did I treat your family, and how did your family, including yourself, treat me." Liu Hongchang, who was in a good mood, still explained to He Wenhui, hoping that this paragraph
Marriage can teach He Wenhui a lesson:
"Let's go, go back quickly, pack up quickly, and you can still make it to work in the afternoon."
The two of them returned to the small wooden house in He's yard. Liu Hongchang looked at the house and found that it was really simple.
The Eight Immortals table, two bookshelves, cabinets, bed, desk, and nothing else at home.
In this era, although most people's homes do not have complicated furniture, this home is also too simple.
It looks exactly the same as it did in the 1950s and 1960s.
In terms of electrical appliances, not to mention the most popular televisions and radios, there are none in this house. In other words, there are only electric lights and a broken exhaust fan for ventilation, which consume a lot of electricity.
"If you want to take away these things in this room that you like, take them all away."
Except for a few pieces of furniture, there are only valuable things left in this room, namely some books, some clothes of He Wenhui, and two sets of quilts on the bed.
Although Liu Hongchang bought them all, Liu Hongchang had no use for them and gave them all to He Wenhui.
He Wenhui also started to pack up the things she used and wore, preparing to move them to the He family's house next door.
"It's a little late now. It's past dinner time and I have to go to work in the afternoon. When I get back from get off work in the evening, I will pack up my things and return the keys to you." After putting away all the things that I wanted to take away, He Wenhui looked at her watch and said.
Seeing He Wenhui looking at his watch, Liu Hongchang also noticed: "This watch was given to you by my mother, right? Since we are divorced, do you have to return the watch to me and let me return it to my mother?"
"It should." After hesitating for a moment, He Wenhui reluctantly took off the watch and put it on the table.
It's really not that Liu Hongchang is stingy, Liu Hongchang just doesn't want to take advantage of a bunch of white-eyed wolves in the Lao He family.
This watch looks very beautiful and is a good thing. It is a women’s watch imported from Switzerland.
If you have some connections, you have to spend more than 300 yuan to buy one.
This watch was an engagement gift from Wang Cuilan to Liu Hongchang's wife.
Wang Cuilan was originally bought for Yang Maixiang, but Liu Hongchang interfered with his engagement party with Yang Maixiang.
This watch was not given away.
After Liu Hongchang and He Wenhui got married, Wang Cuilan had no choice but to accept He Wenhui and gave the watch to He Wenhui.
With a simple comparison, you can know the weight of this watch. This watch is He Wenhui's ten months' salary, which is close to a year's salary.
He Wenhui had to be a year younger and not eat, drink or spend money to buy such a piece.
Although Wang Cuilan is capable, it is not easy to save more than three hundred yuan. Of course, she cannot be fake and generous, so she doesn't want it.
Although watches have become second-hand goods, they are in short supply and their value will not be affected by second-hand goods.
If you want to sell it quickly, you can get a 19% discount. It's not difficult to sell it at the original price without being in a hurry.
This watch is worth at least 300 yuan. Of course, I can't keep it and make the He family look blank.
"Then I'll leave. You can finish moving the things in this house and just keep the key in the house." Liu Hongchang finally said.
He Wenhui has the pressure of raising a family and has to work in the afternoon to make money.
Liu Hongchang only supports himself and has a huge amount of money. He has no pressure in life and certainly has no motivation to work.
Now that I have taken leave, it is impossible to go back.
First, I went to a restaurant and had a meal. This was a way to understand the strength of my peers and investigate the market.
Then we went to the vegetable market first, then to the supply and marketing cooperative, where we bought all kinds of food, including chicken, duck, fish, peanuts and melon seeds, canned cakes, and then returned to Lao Liu's house.
"Hong Chang, why did you come back at this time and buy so many things?" Wang Cuilan asked in surprise.
"I asked for leave. I won't go to work today." Liu Hongchang put his bicycle down and replied. Seeing that Wang Cuilan still looked confused, he continued to explain:
"Didn't I go to get a divorce? I asked for leave. I didn't go back after the divorce was done. I was happy that the divorce went smoothly. I thought I should celebrate it, so I went shopping and came back."
"This is not a good thing, there is nothing to be happy about."
Wang Cuilan cannot empathize with Liu Hongchang. Affected by the concepts of this era, she cannot regard divorce as a good thing.
"Then I'll give you a good thing you want to see. What is it?"
As he spoke, Liu Hongchang handed Wang Cuilan an envelope.
"What does it mean?"
Wang Cuilan took out the five hundred yuan and watch from the envelope and asked.
"Isn't this the meeting gift you gave to your daughter-in-law, and the money you received when you got married? I got them all back for you."
After thinking about it for the past few days, Liu Hongchang decided to return the share that belonged to Wang Cuilan to Wang Cuilan.
After all, if Liu Hongchang gets married in the future, there is no way Wang Cuilan will not express it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I have some money, but I am not very rich. There is no need to ask me to pay twice.
Then Liu Hongchang would not be able to withdraw the five hundred yuan from Liu Yunchang.
The five hundred yuan given by Liu Yunchang was regarded as repayment of the debt.
Liu Hongchang just kept it in his own hands. If he wanted to do anything, he would have a start-up capital.
"Then I'll keep it, and I'll give it to you when you get married again." Wang Cuilan kept it, and then said: "Since you bought so many things and want to celebrate, then ask Mai Xiang to come over too.
."
"Then I'll call his work later."
After using the public phone outside to leave a message to Yang Maixiang's office, Liu Hongchang prepared dinner at home.
When it comes to live chickens, ducks, and fish, it’s not too much to start preparing dinner in the middle of the afternoon.
Liu Hongchang, who came from time travel, actually didn't cook much for a long time.
At most, I can just make a few simple dishes and prepare a table of noodles by myself, which I haven't done in more than ten years.
In this world, I actually haven’t cooked for more than ten days.
Even though Wang Cuilan, Wu Xiaoying, and Yang Maixiang came over from time to time, Liu Hongchang couldn't touch the pots and pans.
In addition to buying so many dishes today, Liu Hongchang also wanted to try his cooking skills in addition to celebrating.
Then after arriving at the unit, you can use your cooking skills according to your original level.
The level of cooking skills displayed was too high, the business in the second canteen was too good, and it was Liu Hongchang himself who suffered.
It cannot be said that whether the canteen's business is good or bad, it does not matter to Liu Hongchang.
It can only be said that even if the cafeteria is very effective, the bonuses and benefits are not much.
The total bonus and benefits for a month are less than ten yuan.
If you want to try Yuan Shen's cooking skills, you should make Yuan Shen's signature dish.
The dish that I am best at is the fat sausage, which is nicknamed "Fat Sausage Liu".
Although the nickname given by the chef is a high degree of recognition from diners for his cooking skills, this nickname is really not dignified.
Then there is soy sauce chicken, which is also Liu Hongchang’s signature dish.
Judging from these two signs, pork sausage is a classic dish that is made in both the north and the south.
But Liu Hongchang's approach was obviously biased towards the north, basically towards the northeast.
Then soy sauce chicken is a Cantonese dish, and the standard Cantonese dish recipe has moved to the far south.
This guy with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west is not like Liu Hongchang who has studied eight major cuisines and is proficient in everything.
It just shows that Liu Hongchang's cooking skills are wild and unsystematic.
"Hong Chang, you did a good job in cooking today. Your skills have improved a lot, especially your sausage, which is better than before." During dinner in the evening, Liu Yunchang was the first to praise.
"Really? I'll try it too. It tastes better than before." Wu Xiaoying also affirmed.
“It’s indeed much more delicious than before.”
"Today's food is more delicious than before."
Wang Cuilan and Yang Maixiang also gave their approval.
"No, it's just average. It's not that good. There's still a lot of room for improvement."
Liu Hongchang truly commented that even if Liu Hongchang now has better control over the knife skills, heat, and other aspects than the original person, if he cooks according to the original method, today's dishes will not be as amazing.
After cooking a table of dishes, Liu Hongchang knew his original level.
If divided according to system skills, signature dishes can reach advanced levels.
For other commonly cooked dishes, Liu Hongchang's own skills are at an intermediate level.
This level is far inferior to that of Silly Zhu at this age.
Both of them are talented in cooking, but Fuzhu, who has the inheritance, is much better than the original person who has no inheritance.
When it comes to cooking skills alone, the gap between this small northern town and the capital is quite large.
After the experience, Liu Hongchang also had his own thoughts. First of all, he should make himself more relaxed in the work unit.
The next day, Liu Hongchang was ready to go to work and did not go to the director's office after arriving.
After arriving, we made various business preparations.
After checking the kitchen utensils, Liu Hongchang was ready to take a look at the types and quality of the canteen's condiments.
Before Liu Hongchang could finish reading, a young man jumped up to Liu Hongchang:
"Master, master, I heard that you are divorced?"
This young man is the sixth disciple of Liu Hongchang.
This is considered an apprentice arranged by the unit. Just like in this era, every master in the technical workshop is assigned the task of guiding an apprentice, and the masters in the canteen also have this obligation.
Although this passive master-disciple relationship is not as close as a disciple who takes the initiative to accept and prepares to pass on the mantle.
But there is no doubt that the master and the apprentice must be the same people.
"Divorce, isn't it just a divorce? I have nothing to do, you don't need to be so cautious."
Looking at his apprentice who dared not speak loudly, Liu Hongchang comforted him.
"Master, why? Your wife is just a flower in the clothing factory."
In this era, this term is popular. A factory, a unit, or a workshop has its own facade.
It can be said that in later generations, every class and every school has its own class beauty and school beauty.
"You will understand when it is time for you to understand. Marrying a wife is not a partner. It is enough for a woman to be beautiful. Don't ask so many other questions."
This apprentice is actually not much younger than Liu Hongchang. The sixth son is also twenty years old, and he should soon consider marriage issues.
Then the two of them were busy independently, making, kneading, and rolling the dough.
Although the cafeteria is not big, it actually makes quite a variety of things, including noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns, rice, and sometimes dumplings and noodles.
In this era, everything was done by hand, so there were a lot of things to do and it was complicated.
And because there are only a few people in the kitchen, it's hard to distinguish between white cases and red cases.
It can be said that everyone's division of labor is not so clear, and everyone has to do everything.
In this state-owned second canteen, it is normal for those in the kitchen to run to the front room and those in the front room to run to the back kitchen to help.
Of course, in a place like the kitchen, the chef has more or less privileges.
After helping for a while, Liu Hongchang made a cup of tea and sat down to rest.
"Liu Hongchang, will you and Liuzi go buy today's groceries together?"
It's just that the rest didn't last long. Yao Guofa went into the kitchen and saw that Liu Hongchang was idle, so he made arrangements for Liu Hongchang.
As a cook, I also work part-time as a canteen purchaser.
In this cafeteria, there are also women, some old, some young, some weak, and there are only a few middle-aged men.
If I really want to be picky, Liu Hongchang is the only mature man working in the back of the cafeteria, and most of the physical work falls on Liu Hongchang.
"Old Yao, how old are you? You still sell fat sausages all day long. You don't get tired of selling them, and your customers don't get tired of eating them. Please cancel this dish!"
Liu Hongchang is not going to do this fat sausage thing anymore. The nickname of "Fat Chang Liu" is not good for one thing.
The large intestine is also more troublesome to prepare than ordinary things.
"Customers come here just to have a good time. If you don't sell this, what would you sell?"
Yao Guofa was obviously unwilling. The level of the cooks in the second canteen was limited, they could cook fewer dishes, and they were missing a signature, which was a big loss.
"There are so many things that can be sold. I can tell you ten or eight of the vegetables that you cannot buy."
