Good Dad System [Arc 1] Chapter 16.1: Father, He Is A Great Man (31)
“Xiuzhen, my child’s grades are neither good nor bad. I don’t know when your old Pei will be free. I will take the child to your house and let him see what the problem is, okay?”
“My child is in the second grade of junior high school this year. Originally, my old Li and I were going to bite the bullet and send our children to the city to study and board next year. But now it seems that the county junior high school is not bad. Can you ask your old Pei to help ask, what will happen next year in the county? Is there any experimental class here?”
…
The county hospital was crowded and well-informed. Before Su Xiuzhen called to inquire, someone had already proactively sent the information over.
Those who work the night shift come to take over at four o’clock, and those who work the morning shift get off work at four o’clock. Su Xiuzhen has not yet changed out of her clothes, but she is already surrounded by people. Her daughter is about to take the high school entrance examination, and her husband is not at home, so she specially switched with her colleagues I have been on the morning shift and the regular shift lately.
“Okay, old Pei is in Beijing now. I’ll ask him when he comes back.” Su Xiuzhen also smiled and agreed. After everyone reluctantly dispersed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, she lived a comfortable life for most of her life. It’s a bit overwhelming to be so “popular” all of a sudden.
She changed her clothes and rode an electric bike to go to the market. Her husband now makes a lot of money and does not donate money as “excessively” as before. The family is financially well-off, so she can often make delicious snacks for her daughter, and her daughter also she don’t know whether it’s the stress of the high school entrance exam or the bitter summer, but her appetite has been really bad recently. Su Xiuzhen is constantly changing her ways, taking turns cooking new dishes for her daughter to eat.
Although there was a small electric car under her, the ride felt a bit fast and neat. Su Xiuzhen’s face was hidden by the motorcycle helmet, and her smile never stopped.
In the past, when people praised Pei Naochun, they said he was a “good man” who was kind, generous and considerate of others – Su Xiuzhen became angrier the more she heard this.
Recently, when people praised Pei Naochun, they said that he was a good teacher, educated and had high teaching standards – she felt proud when she heard that.
Su Xiuzhen arrived at the market quickly. She bought a lot of vegetables along the way. It seems that she has changed a lot. In the past, even if she had just received her salary, she would have to break a penny in half and spend it every day. Keeping accounts, for a few cents she can stay in the market till the end, pack and pick up bargains. Now, although she still talks about running a keeping account, she’s not reluctant to buy things, as long as they are fresh and of good quality, even if the price is a little higher she won’t hesitate.
One of the close nurse said two days ago that her face was radiant, her skin and mental state were all improved, and Su Xiuzhen just smiled and didn’t speak. Could this be bad? No more quarreling after work, no more tossing and turning and falling asleep, no more worrying about when your husband will dump the family’s money for good deeds again.
When she had no money, even if Su Xiuzhen saw the frostbite on her hands and the poor grandmother selling vegetables on the roadside, she would not stop. She had to eat porridge and pickles, so how could she take care of others? And after having a surplus of food…
“Grandma, there are two watermelons left, give them to me.” Su Xiuzhen braked on the side of the road. The sun had not yet set. The sun was scorching, and the heat was rising from the ground. An old woman was sitting on the side of the road, holding a green watermelon under her body. There were two watermelons placed on the plastic mat, and her face was sunburned.
Grandma was pretty quick with her hands and feet. She quickly put the bags on the scale and calculated the money: “Thank you, thank you.” There was no stall fee on the roadside, but there was no shade, and the sun was shining on everyone, but this is life.
Su Xiuzhen packed up the watermelons and went home. Even these two watermelons were hot on top. She had to get home early to chill them and let her daughter eat them when she came back to cool off the heat!
She traveled lightly and returned with a full load. The car was so full that it seemed that even the speed of the car had slowed down. But before she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw a car blocking it from a distance. She frowned subconsciously. It was like a small car like them. What residents in the alley dislike most are big cars that are overbearing and occupy the road at will. She bought too many things and doesn’t have enough strength to support the car. She feels a little depressed, but she doesn’t want to quarrel with others.
Su Xiuzhen hesitated and accelerated the bike to get closer. Just as she was about to talk to the person in the driver’s seat, the car started to drive away in a “smart” manner. Su Xiuzhen was relieved that she could avoid the trouble of negotiating with people.
“Xiuzhen.”
When she heard someone shouting, Su Xiuzhen looked up subconsciously. What appeared in front of her was her husband, who should be in the capital: “Why are you back?”
“Can’t I come back?” Pei Naochun asked with a confused face.
“Yes, yes.” Su Xiuzhen read the invitation letter for the meeting. It would take a long time to end, “Did the meeting end early?”
Pei Naochun had already walked over and helped support the car. Su Xiuzhen also came down and walked aside: “It’s not over yet. I came back early.”
“Why did you come back early?” Su Xiuzhen said to him, mumbling, “There are not many opportunities like this. You can get to know more people and learn the latest knowledge. It would be a pity to miss it.”
“It’s not a pity.” Pei Naochun pushed the bike easily, and the two of them walked into the alley side by side, “There is nothing more important than our Chuqing. She’s about to take the high school entrance examination. How can I, a father, be absent?”
Su Xiuzhen wanted to say that Pei Naochun was useless because of his childhood, but she actually felt that her daughter was more important in her heart: “It’s good to be back. After all, I don’t read much, so I can’t do anything like tutoring or accompanying students. I still feel at ease with you.”
“I will be very busy these days. I have a few interviews and I have to go to a few thank-you banquets.”
“That’s fine.” Su Xiuzhen smiled, “You have to work hard when you need to, isn’t this also a kind of work?”
“The school will give out some bonuses, and the extra money for teaching assistants will be paid soon.” Pei Naochun said while thinking, “Both of our provident funds are quite high, and house prices have begun to rise in the past two years. I want to go to the city to use our names to take out a loan to buy an apartment and transfer it to Qing Qing after she graduates.” He has been thinking about this for a long time, and if it weren’t for the bonuses from the school and the Education Bureau, he would have to wait a bit longer.
Su Xiuzhen had already stepped into the room. She turned back: “Don’t you want to keep the money?”
“Keep it for what?”
“Do good deeds and donate money to your students?”
Pei Naochun laughed: “No, the more money you make, the more you donate. The publishing house has been making arrangements. No matter how poor you are, you can’t have a poor child. Isn’t our daughter also a treasure ?” He studied a lot of laws The problem is that he only knew the ”fairness” of the marriage law in this era. He didn’t dare to save the down payment and let his daughter take it with her when the time came. This woman still has to have a suite of her own to be confident!
If it weren’t for his lack of money, he would even want to buy the capital for his daughter to go there!
“Okay, come in quickly. You have a rest and I’ll cook dinner. Just wait until your baby girl comes home and do her homework with her.” Su Xiuzhen joked.She entered the house, her face facing away from her husband with an expression of relief and relaxation.
Her husband can put his daughter at the top of his heart, which makes her happier than anything else!
Pei Chuqing was extra generous today and invited Gao Yan to drink pearl milk tea for five yuan a cup at the school gate – she watched Gao Yan drink it.
“How about I buy you a drink?” Gao Yan felt uncomfortable. This was obviously a treat, so why did she feel so uncomfortable?
“No, I’m going home, and my mother will cook a big meal for me!” Pei Chuqing waved her hand, since she was a child, her mother taught her not to eat roadside food and drink indiscriminately. Besides, she doesn’t ‘t have pocket money, and she won’t get used to it. I like to drink too much.
“My dad is here, go back quickly!” Gao Yan saw her car from a distance and patted her friend, “Congratulate uncle for me!”
“Okay!” Pei Chuqing said with a smile to Yan Yan, watching her friend pounce on her father’s side to act like a spoiled child, and walked towards her home.
All day today, her heart was jumping for joy, and her steps were jumping with joy. After noticing some strange looks from passers-by, she blushed, lowered her head, and walked step by step obediently.
She couldn’t wait to get home right away and make a long phone call to her father.
Suddenly she felt a little depressed again. Unfortunately, her father was not at home and could not celebrate in person.
Her little heart was quietly filled with wishes. She wanted to be first in school and first in the county, and to make a splash for her father, so that it would be her and no one else’s name that was linked to her father’s name.
You know, this afternoon, the LED display outside the school has started to display. The names of my father and the two top champions are listed side by side. She heard that in two days, even the publicity boards and banners will be installed.
