Good Dad System [Arc 1] Chapter 1.1: Father, he is a great man (1)
The alley is so narrow and long that you can’t see the end from the beginning. The road paved with bluestones is uneven. Pedestrians passing by measure it with their feet. It is not wide enough for cars to drive in. The occasional three-wheelers and bicycles are crowded together.
A girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with a simple mushroom haircut, slightly longer than her shoulders, wearing a blue and white sportswear-style school uniform, with a slim figure, and a light blue cloth backpack that was washed white, with a crude smiley face pattern on top.
Pei Chuqing grabbed the strap of her schoolbag and walked with a slump, each foot accurately stepping on the bricks. This was one of her few entertainments, and it was also a rare leisure time for her after school every day. Of course, this relaxation would soon come to an end. Stopped abruptly because—
“Qingzi, why are you still hanging around outside?” Pei Chuqing just raised her head blankly, and her wrist hurt. Aunt Li, the neighbor who came out of nowhere, was shouting at her, “You still won’t go home? Something happened at home!”
“What’s going on? What’s wrong? What’s wrong with my mother?” Pei Chuqing burst into tears when she heard this and grabbed Aunt Li’s hand.
“It’s not your mother!” Aunt Li wiped her sweat, “It’s your father, your mother was so angry that he fainted!”
Aunt Li murmured: “You and your mother is really the same. She can make people like Lao Pei anxious! It’s true that you don’t know how lucky you are in the midst of blessings.”
The nervous look on Pei Chuqing’s face had long since disappeared. She lowered her head and walked in the direction of home. She did not agree with Aunt Li’s words. Her hair, which had not been cut for a long time, fell down, covering her expression.
She suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, showing an expression that meant she was about to laugh or not.
Being in the midst of blessings, one does not know the blessings. Whoever likes to take this blessing can take it away.
…
The most welcoming people in the alley are the people, and the most annoying people are the people.
Before Pei Chuqing entered the house, she could already hear the bustle of people in the house. She opened the door curtain and looked inside, only to see several familiar neighbors gathered around the sofa in the living room. And her mother was standing against the wall, her lips pursed in a straight line, and her face looked gloomy.
“Mom.” She walked straight to her mother and carefully held her mother’s hand. The hand she held was rough and cold.
Seeing her daughter coming, Su Xiuzhen looked a little panicked, and her lips suddenly turned white: “Qingzi, mom didn’t mean to be angry with your dad, mom didn’t.” When she was so angry with her husband, she was still vaguely happy. Even when the neighbors came, she remained firm and unapologetic, but when she saw her daughter, this stubbornness completely collapsed.
“I know.” Pei Chuqing nodded, “Mom, I know. I don’t blame you. It’s not your fault.”
She is fourteen years old and is no longer a child. She has eyes to see what is right and wrong at home. She remembers how long and how much her mother endured. She cannot forget it. How could it be her mother’s fault?
He must have done something wrong again.
Pei Chuqing didn’t even want to call him “Dad” in her heart. To that man, what were she and her mother?
“Hey, Lao Pei is awake!”
“Is there any water? Teacher Pei is awake. Get some water quickly!”
There was a noisy sound coming from the sofa. Pei Chuqing took a step to the side and blocked her mother behind with her thin body.
“Qingzi, Xiuzhen, where is the water? Where is the water?” Aunt Li didn’t look for the kettle. She turned around and stared at the two mother and daughter standing motionless. She frowned with dissatisfaction on her face, “You two are making trouble. What? You don’t care about your husband and father? Do you want us outsiders to worry more?”
Pei Chuqing bit her lip. She was afraid that the words she blurted out would not sound good, so she subconsciously clenched her fists and dug her fingers into her flesh.
“Here you go.” Su Xiuzhen smiled, turned around and went to the kitchen, poured a full bowl of water and walked to the sofa. This was a message. She couldn’t let her daughter be gossiped about.
She brought the bowl to the sofa. Aunt Li, who took the bowl, rolled her eyes at her. She silently took two steps back as if she was unaware, staying away from the crowd with a stiff expression.
It’s not that Su Xiuzhen didn’t understand, as long as she smiled and had a better attitude, everyone would be able to say less sarcastic words.
But she couldn’t do it.
Her husband’s outrageous rules seem to be ingrained in a woman’s bones. Daring to talk back and quarrel with her husband is considered “treason”, not to mention that her husband is also a very “good” person with a good reputation?
…
The eyes have been closed for too long, and when they are opened, they can’t see people clearly.
Pei Naochun blinked and was helped up in a daze and poured water into his mouth. His mouth was dry and he drank a few sips from the bowl. He almost choked. Before he could fully recover, he heard the crowd that surrounded him began to talk to each other one by one.
“Teacher Pei, are you feeling better? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“Yes, Lao Pei, if you quarrel, just quarrel. How can it be worth it to make yourself so angry?”
What’s happening here? Pei Naochun’s face was confused. He thought about it slowly, and all his memories came flooding back.
Pei Naochun is an ordinary citizen from 3000 AD. In other words, he can also be called a future person.
