Good Dad System (Arc 4) Chapter 39.6: The Eccentric Dad In The Chronicles (13)

Li Xiuzhi gradually fell asleep in Pei Naochun’s voice, her brows furrowed, her hands tightly grasping the quilt, as if she had thought of something bad, and felt uneasy. Pei Naochun, on the contrary, relaxed. If he talked too much about something, people’s hearts would always waver. If he said it once but it didn’t work, he would say it twice. If he said it twice but it didn’t work, he would say it three times. It would always have some effect.

After all, every lie he said, Pei Jiancheng was really raised to be selfish. He only cared about himself all his life and never considered that the money he squeezed from his parents was exploiting the interests of his two brothers. .

However, after receiving the memory, he has a new understanding of many things.

In fact, Li Xiuzhi and the original body did not really take the other two children seriously. It was just that these two children were really dumb in words, they didn’t know how to please others, and they were very honest. If they were favored for too long, they would never be able to change. The child who didn’t cry ended up being the one who wasn’t taken seriously.

…

That night, Li Xiuzhi had several dreams over and over again, and her third child always appeared in her dreams. She dreamed that Jiancheng, just like her husband said, was attentive to his mother-in-law and bought things for her every day. When it was her turn, he said that he was busy with work and had no time, so he forgot to buy things. She waited foolishly, but she didn’t know that her son had long been with others, and even helped her buy vegetables, calling her mom every day, as if she was his real mother.

Li Xiuzhi was so angry that her heart, liver and lungs ached, and before she was done being angry, she had new dreams, one after another, which made her feel scared and dissatisfied until she woke up.

“Xiuzhi, what’s wrong with you?” Pei Naochun got up early, and it was still dark outside. At this age, he suddenly understood what the history books said about the ancients getting up and dancing when they heard the cock-crow. They didn’t turn on the lights every night and went to bed at eight or nine o’clock, so of course they woke up before dawn!

“Nothing, I’ll go cook.” Li Xiuzhi changed her clothes and left the room. She didn’t want to answer this question at all. Who else could have been the reason for her not sleeping? Wasn’t it because of those broken dreams that Pei Naochun kept talking about before she went to bed? She actually took it to heart and dreamed about them all night.

Li Xiuzhi quickly went to the kitchen and started to get busy, but it wasn’t like she was busy at all. After all, it was an era of material scarcity and breakfast was quite simple. It was nothing more than cooking a meal and making some pickles and vegetable leaves.

“Mom, are you awake?” Pei Jianlai came back from outside. He slept soundly last night, but he was too excited. He got up early this morning, so he simply went up the back mountain to chop some firewood and pick some wild vegetables. He put the basket down, “Shall I cook? I picked some wild vegetables.”

The stove at home can burn coal briquettes, but coal briquettes require coupons. Villagers save on coupons and choose firewood when possible. They usually use the old earth stove for cooking.

Li Xiuzhi looked at this silly son, and felt inexplicably different today: “What are you doing up so early?”

“Mom, please sit over there, I’ll do it.” Pei Jianlai squatted there and started a fire. Although he had never learned any cooking skills, he could still cook simple dishes. “I couldn’t sleep, so I thought about doing some work.”

Li Xiuzhi’s heart ached when she heard this. Some scenes seemed to flash through her mind. Over the years, Jiancheng, her beloved and treasured son, was always in school. When she occasionally asked him to do something, he would always say that he wanted to study hard, do well in exams, find a good job, buy a house, and take care of her. Then all these tasks were left to his two brothers. In the past, she didn’t have any ideas, thinking that Jiancheng’s time was precious and his mind was quick. But now, her heart was suddenly filled with doubts from her husband.

What she wanted to say was put back in her heart. In a blink of an eye, Pei Jianlai had already started washing the rice and preparing it for the pot. As soon as she glanced over, Li Xiuzhi immediately became anxious again. She was dissatisfied with the way she looked at him and pointed at him: “Why put so much rice? Are you short of food? You don’t know how to save money. This dish is fresh, but you can eat it in two meals. How can you eat it in one meal? Be careful that the sky will send lightning to kill you! You only know how to waste, and you don’t know how to live.”
She didn’t speak well. It went into Pei Jianlai’s left ear and came out of the right ear. He just increased or decreased the weight according to his mother’s words, prepared the meal, with a smile on his face, and didn’t look angry at all – to him, his mother’s words were not scolding, but caring about him! Teaching him the principles of life, how can it be called scolding!

Seeing Pei Jianlai’s silly look, Li Xiuzhi felt bad. The second child was the most neglected one in the family. She never cared about him, but the child was always very obedient. If she told the child to go east, he would never dare to go west. Even when being scolded, he could still put on a smiling face.

“Jianlai.”

“Yes!” Pei Jianlai responded very loudly. He turned around and no longer cared about his anger. He looked at Li Xiuzhi with bright eyes
