Good Dad System (Arc 4) Chapter 42.2: The Eccentric Dad In The Chronicles (28)

“Don’t praise him anymore. If you praise him any more, his tail will be up to the sky!” Li Xiuzhi felt happy. Every time someone praised Pei Naochun, she felt happy.

 

Pei Naochun clearly realized that the essence of the family and even the whole village was money. To put it bluntly, why did most families in the village not separate even after getting married and living together? It was not just for the sake of old-age care, but if they separated, no family could survive. Without the elders, no one would take care of the children. Every family had years when they needed money urgently. This year, the family spent money on the eldest brother, and next year, the family spent money on the younger brother. Just like the Pei family, building a house and holding a wedding, didn’t they also use the common wealth of the family? If they separated, they would really have to grit their teeth to survive in this poor situation.

 

He went to the team leader to get a letter of introduction, and fooled the other party by saying that he was going to the city to talk to his son’s teacher. After arriving in the city, he looked for business opportunities everywhere. Pei Naochun discovered that even in such an era, there were still smart people who found a way out. For example, the brick and tile factory in the next village was said to belong to the county, but in fact it belonged to the village. Taking advantage of the surrounding soil and technology, he signed a contract with the county town and was affiliated with it. In the era of urgent shortage of materials, sometimes even cotton coupons and meat coupons could be exchanged at a discount. It is conceivable that the county condoned and even supported such things.

 

He went to the captain’s house. Fortunately, he didn’t like to talk. He had always been honest and reliable in the village. He didn’t look like a second-rate person. No one took his words seriously. Pei Naochun told the captain in simple language that he heard people from outside chatting in the school. They said there was a village in the next city. They were very rich. Their village signed a contract with the supply and marketing cooperative, saying that they would open a livestock farm for the supply and marketing cooperative. They fenced a piece of land next to the village and raised chickens, ducks and pigs. It was said that the business was booming and the work points were worth two yuan! They even killed pigs for food during festivals.

 

Pei Naochun rubbed his hands and said to the team leader, “Captain, look at our village. There are mountains next to it and water everywhere. Can we do something about this? Whether it’s collecting some mountain products or raising some fish, wouldn’t it be great? We can eat by ourselves at the end of the year.” He did not forget to throw out the bait, “Last time I heard you say at the meeting that our village’s output is not as good as the neighboring villages, and you are embarrassed. Do you think if we do this, will the higher-ups praise you?”

 

He clearly saw the emotions in the captain’s eyes. In these poor times, who wouldn’t want more income and more things? Not to mention that the captain was hoping to get a promotion in the community or be commended!

 

Of course, he didn’t say much more. He just expressed that their family now had a lot of expenses and that every household in the village had no financial resources, and then he left.

 

Not long after, the team leader called a meeting and said that he had signed a contract with the supply and marketing cooperative and the community to set up a fish farm. He didn’t take any credit for it, but praised Pei Naochun on the spot and let everyone know that he had played a role in making suggestions. Just by hearing that there might be a chance to share the fish by the end of the year and to cooperate with the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some internal goods, everyone became anxious and started working immediately.

 

Over the past few years, it is no longer an empty talk that every household has fish to eat. Their work points have directly increased to 2.8 yuan last year. It is one of the best villages in the surrounding area, and the young men and women in the village have become the first choice for choosing a spouse among villages recently.

 

In the main hall, Zhu Zhenzhen was sitting next to her father-in-law, watching him turning the clothes over and over: “Sister-in-law said that the fabric inside is for us.” Her eyes were full of envy. She was born in another village, her family was poor, and she learned to be calculative since she was a child. It was only after she came to the Pei family that, with the care of everyone, she slowly changed her temper and became like her husband, always doing stupid things.

 

“Okay, the clothes are almost done, I just happen to have some time.” Pei Naochun agreed. He was very professional now. “I’ll put some patterns on the two torn places on the clothes later.” Pei Jiancheng was a good-looking man, studying in a technical secondary school, and met many people. Pei Naochun made two sets of elegant clothes for him. He helped to coordinate the work and brought in many people to make clothes at home. For example, the order he took this time was for imitation military uniforms, and they were specially given military green fabrics. The reward was directly given in the form of meat tickets.

 

“Dad, you are so awesome.” Zhu Zhenzhen still remembers that when she first entered the house, she always felt a sense of distance from her father-in-law. Although she and her husband had a new quilt,they both took good care of it and put it away and took out the old one to use. As a result, the old quilt was probably patched and washed too many times, so it was very thin and it was torn somehow. She didn’t know how to sew at that time, and she didn’t dare to tell her mother-in-law. She cried secretly. Pei Jianlai, who saw them, was frightened. He first told her that her mother-in-law would not be angry, and then took her directly to find her father-in-law.
