Good Dad System (Arc 4) Chapter 39.5: The Eccentric Dad In The Chronicles (12)
Pei Naochun answered silently in his heart, isn’t it because the original body and she both thought so, at the end of the previous life, something really happened? He decided to start the pre-prepared plan B and plant a seed in Li Xiuzhi’s heart first.
“Now that I think about it, we were wrong before.” Pei Naochun’s voice was suddenly full of emotion, and he suddenly felt a little lost.”What’s wrong?”
The last light of the kerosene lamp had gone out. The two sat facing each other in the dark and talked: “Think about it, if you find a job in the city after the completion of the project and find a father-in-law in the city, then you have to stay in the city, right?”
“Isn’t that good?”
“What’s good about it!” Pei Naochun said according to his own thoughts, “I used to think it was a good idea, but recently, the more I think about it, the more it seems wrong. He will be with his wife every day and rely on his father-in-law for care. He may even have to live in someone else’s house. Wouldn’t that be like marrying into the family? I worked so hard to raise a son, but now he has to provide for others in their old age? I won’t feel right about that anyway!” He went through so much trouble and finally found a chance to receive the memories of his original body and found a reason that fits the rural concept.
“…” Li Xiuzhi was silent.
“Raising a son to take care of me in my old age, I’m counting on him to be successful. One reason is that I hope he can help everyone, and the other is that I hope he can be capable and take care of us more. But I think something is wrong!” In the dark, hearing is particularly sensitive, and Pei Naochun’s voice seems to be particularly loud. “I think something is wrong with the third kid now. He always wants to steal money from home. I can hear a sound when I throw my money into the water, but I can’t see anything when I throw it on him.”
“I had a dream the other day. I dreamed that when we were old, Jianshe and Jianlai would hate us for not taking them seriously and not caring about us. We would stay in this house, you take care of me and I take care of you.” Pei Naochun sighed heavily, his voice a little hoarse, “Then the third boy would live in the city, in a building, calling someone else daddy, and taking care of other people’s shit and urine!”
“How dare they both! “Li Xiuzhi was angry at first, then hesitated, “You think too much, the third boy is smart and has a promising future. We treat him so well, how can he not be filial to us…”
“He is just too smart. To be honest, Jianshe Jianlai, you know that stupid people are easy to use. I feel at ease and know that if I treat these two children a little better, they will be obedient. But the third child, I always feel uncomfortable. You said that every time he took money from you…”
“I didn’t give it to him !” Li Xiuzhi quickly twisted, twisting her body uncomfortably. She didn’t dare to admit that Pei Jiancheng had taken a lot of money from her. Sometimes he wanted to buy some Chairman’s quotations, and sometimes he wanted to pay some fees at school. She didn’t understand, but she knew he was studying, so of course she gave it to him.
“If you say no, then no.” Pei Naochun went on, “Think about it, in the past, Jianshe and Jianlai would sometimes take advantage of the slack season to pick some wild vegetables and fruits, and go fishing to give us food. But what about Jiancheng? He never brought us anything. Every time he came home, didn’t he say he wanted to study and then shut himself up in his room and not say a word?”
“He has no money…” Li Xiuzhi replied uncertainly. Others might not know, but how could she not know? Jiancheng must have some money. Over the years, she had never even received a hairband from her third son, but she had heard a lot of nice words from him.
“It is said that a child’s character can be seen at the age of three. If he doesn’t know how to be filial now, will he know how to be filial in the future? I’m in suspense!” Pei Naochun said to himself, “Jiancheng is smart, but sometimes, why do I feel that this kid is a little cold-hearted? Is he really on our side when he’s nice to us? or is he just flattering us and expecting us to let him do what he wants and give him money?”
Pei Naochunla As Li Xiuzhi lay down on the bed, his voice became softer and softer, but what he read was very memorable: “I have been dreaming. In the dream, the third kid is really quite successful. His hair is shiny and he is dressed in the right clothes. Like a leader, he took a small stool and sat next to the old man, and his voice was very annoying. ”
“He said, ‘Dad, let me soak your feet. Look, it’s cold today. Your feet are almost frozen, right?’ He was sweating all over his head, but he didn’t care at all. He continued to say, ‘Dad, I brought you some fruit today. I’ll peel it for you later.’ I was very happy at first, but when I looked over, I realized that the old man lying on the bed was not me.”
“At that time, you were old, and I was old too. We couldn’t even walk. When the weather was cold, the wind blew into the house. You trembled and said you wanted to boil some water. I went with you , but we couldn’t lift the water for a long time. We had to soak our feet in the yard. The water was cold before we had soaked for a while. ”
“Then you grabbed me and said, old man, I regret it. I didn’t ask you what you regretted, as if I knew it in my heart. We entered the house and there was a bag of food in the house which was sent by Jianshe and Jianlai, but they were so angry with us that they refused to stay and left directly…”
