Good Dad System (Arc 4) Chapter 39.2: The Eccentric Dad In The Chronicles (9)
Pei Jianshe sat on the chair and dawdled, trying to speak, but he couldn’t. He looked at Li Xiuzhi and sweated unconsciously.
“Why don’t you go wash the dishes with your brother? If you are so free, go do something instead of sitting here and waiting for me to serve you?” Li Xiuzhi rolled her eyes at Pei Jianshe. She didn’t like the two sons’ lukewarmness. They were always dawdling and were not as efficient as her, a woman.
“I’ll go right away.” Pei Jianshe didn’t dare to stay after hearing this, and hurried to the backyard, intending to fetch some water from the well for tomorrow’s use.
Pei Naochun had already finished eating, but his stomach was still empty, but the two children and Li Xiuzhi were satisfied, and he couldn’t say anything. Before he put down his chopsticks, he heard Li Xiuzhi whispering next to him: “Master, look at it. , These two children, with such stupid brains, can they woo a lady? I hope they can choose a suitable daughter-in-law, but it’s better for me to do it.”
“Look at them now, they haven’t gotten a wife yet, and they have to be urged to work, what if another lazy daughter-in-law comes back.” Li Xiuzhi snorted forcefully, “Can we both have a good life?”
Pei Naochun was silent for a moment, then carefully persuaded: “Look at how diligent these two children are at work today.”
“That’s stupid!” Li Xiuzhi interrupted, looking disdainful, “Working diligently is the same day, not working diligently is the same day, you’ve exhausted yourself, and you don’t have to eat more rice from us when you go home! ”
Pei Naochun didn’t say a word. Li Xiuzhi was talking about a big problem in the current commune system. Going to work is calculated by work points, and the workload is calculated roughly. Those who work hard and those who fish in troubled waters can get work points as long as they can save face. But the problem is that the commune canteen has been canceled a long time ago. Everyone goes back to their own homes and eats their own food. When you go to work, you work hard, but when you come back, you are tired and eat your own food. Those who work honestly are considered stupid and inflexible, and being lazy is the right thing to do.
According to Pei Naochun’s thinking, he can say a lot of big truths and shout a lot of slogans, but in the face of the weight of tonight’s dinner and the speed of the people around him in the afternoon, he suddenly can’t say anything. .
The collective is more important than the sky, everyone has to work hard, but if they can’t even have enough food, how can they work for the collective?
“If it was Jiancheng, he would definitely not be so stupid.” Li Xiuzhi muttered, “I don’t know who these two children learned from, and their brain doesn’t know how to adapt!”
Pei Naochun listened impatiently: “Has Jiancheng ever been to the field? When the two of us couldn’t go out to work, it was Jianshe who worked hard.”
Li Xiuzhi was amused: “How can this be the same? Jiancheng is a good student, and he will stay in the county in the future. He can eat commercial grain without working in the fields, and he can also get lot of coupons!” She was a little envious. Things like industrial coupons must be distributed to cities first and then to rural areas. Although that’s what they said. They have never been distributed to people like them. If any of their families need them, they have to secretly exchange them for real food and cloth coupons! “Jiancheng will have a great future, and we have to count on him!” She said firmly.
“No matter how successful he is, we will still follow Jianshe.” Pei Naochun had not found enough time to receive the memory, so he could only refute based on the part he knew.
Li Xiuzhi looked at him suspiciously: “Husband, what’s wrong with you today? If we follow the eldest son, don’t we still have to rely on our children for retirement money?” Didn’t the couple reach a consensus a long time ago that they would still have to rely on the third brother in the future.
In their village, the “follow” of parents in old age refers to who they live with, but the pension money is shared equally by the children, and the promising ones usually pay more. Her idea is deeply rooted. The eldest and second sons are destined to be farmers. If they have more children in the future, money will be tight. It will be good if they don’t have to pay for them. If the third son can stay in the city, he will have good conditions and no burden, and he can take care of them more. “It’s about the future and all about money”
Pei Naochun froze and waved his hand: “I’ll go talk to Jianshe.” He didn’t dare to say more, for fear of destroying the character design. Fortunately, although the original body usually doesn’t like to talk, he and his wife occasionally have private conversations.
“Okay, you go and talk to him and open his stubborn mind. “Li Xiuzhi also went to the backyard with the dishes and chopsticks. There were only two bowls left on the table. There was no oil and water in those days, so the dishes were washed quickly.
“Yeah.” Pei Naochun put his hands behind his back and walked into the house. This courtyard was built when the original body’s father was still alive. It has not been renovated in the past few years. There are only three rooms and a dilapidated warehouse in total. The warehouse is filled with various things, including some old furniture that people were reluctant to throw away.
And the distribution method of these three rooms was also decided by Li Xiuzhi. As she always did, she carried out the unfairness to the extreme.
