Good Dad System

Chapter 10: Father, he is a great man (10)

The second grandmother is the oldest person Pei Chuqing has ever met. At first, she couldn't react. She blinked in confusion and didn't know what to call her. Fortunately, her father found out in time and told her in a low voice that the second grandmother looked good-natured, but she was not eloquent. It's very neat, and she walks like she has an accelerator wheel. Even the young and vigorous she almost didn't keep up.

"Mom, have you lived here before?" Pei Chuqing looked at her mother curiously. Her father walked and chatted with the second grandmother in front of her. She and her mother couldn't keep up and fell behind.

"I've been here." Su Xiuzhen still remembers it freshly, when her parents-in-law hadn't left, they came here for the New Year's Eve, "Mom doesn't have much impression of the second grandma's house, so I usually have a reunion dinner with your grandparents. , go back to the city."

"That's right..." Pei Chuqing continued to look forward, occasionally passing by large and small houses on the side of the road, some of which were relatively new, like they only started in the past few years, with three or four floors, and the suburban roadside. The houses are almost the same, and some are very dilapidated. The door is wide open, but it is dark inside, which looks a little scary.

"I'm here, I'll clean your room." The second grandmother was very enthusiastic and greeted the three of them to enter the back room. Her house was considered a medium-sized house in the village. A small flat on the second floor was built with others, and there were many houses.

"It's hard work, it's too much trouble for you." Pei Naochun thanked him and took his wife and daughter to the upstairs room.

Pei Chuqing breathed a sigh of relief. She had just seen the dilapidated building on the side of the road, and she was very concerned. Fortunately, this room was not as scary as she imagined. No one has lived for a long time, the curtains look a little gray, and there is a mini fan hanging on the top, because the plug has been removed from the row in winter, the only inconvenience is that there is no bathroom in the room, you have to go to the toilet to get it. Go downstairs, but Pei Chuqing is not too picky about this.

"Isn't it good?" Pei Naochun arranged things clearly. He discussed it with his wife. He was worried that his daughter would not be able to sleep in another place. He let them sleep together at night. He leaned against the door and recalled the broken house in his memory. "It's so much better than the house Dad used to live in."

"Is it better?" Pei Chuqing looked confused.

"Yes, it's much better. If you see our house in the past, it can be regarded as a star-rated hotel." His voice was full of emotion, "Your grandparents are all farming, and the family is poor, all year round. I can't save a lot of money. Our previous house was not half the size of your second grandmother's house. Before the room was separated from the room, it was separated by wooden boards, but this wooden board has been a long time, and it has a musty smell, not to mention the floor. How could there be any tiles back then? The floor was always dusty, not even smooth..."

Pei Chuqing was frightened, her eyes drifted to her mother, and she was shocked when she saw her nodding and confirming. When she was a child, the school also called for donations to children in impoverished mountainous areas, and they even saw the black and white photo of the girl with big eyes , I have some sympathy in my heart, but I really can't imagine what real poverty is like, even if I can imagine it, it feels extraordinarily distant.

She used to think that poverty was just like their family. She drank porridge from time to time, there was never any fashionable dishes on the table, the family never went out to play together all year round, and she would never change her clothes unless they didn't fit too well.

Pei Naochun smiled and rubbed her daughter's head, very serious: "So reading can change fate, this is true everywhere." He put his hands behind his back relaxedly, "It's not how good reading is, but for many For people, reading is the only way out, it’s just…”

"Just what?"

Pei Naochun lowered his eyes and looked very sad: "It's just that many people can't even get this opportunity."

Pei Chuqing wanted to refute that at her age, she happened to encounter all free compulsory education in China. For example, the school she was sitting in only charged some teaching and auxiliary fees after junior high school, plus the scattered class fees and uniform fees in the school. , it's only a few dozen or a hundred a year, and the words haven't come out yet, but I remember the conversation between my father and my second grandmother just now, even if she thinks it's incredible, these things seem to be reality.

"Do you think it's weird?" Pei Naochun asked with a smile.

"It's very strange..." When Dad asked, Pei Chuqing's curiosity continued, "Is the tuition fee in the village very high? And compulsory education, doesn't every child have to receive education?"

"It's not that easy." Pei Naochun was amused by his silly daughter. When he first received the memories of this world, he was as shocked as his daughter. After sorting out the memories, he was able to face it calmly, "Could it be that someone could still hold a knife? Are you forcing your child to go to class?"

"Why don't you go to class?"

"If you go more, you can do housework, take care of your younger siblings, and learn crafts." Pei Naochun said lightly, but the topic was quite heavy, "Now the tuition fee has been reduced, and primary school is generally still attended, so learn a simple name, Once you know a word, when you reach junior high school, more people drop out, let alone read up.”

"...Why?" She didn't understand.

"Because everyone thinks that studying is useless, Dad will give you a simple example. Do you know what they do as apprentices, delivery, and selling some physical strength, how much money can they make?" Pei Naochun stretched out his hand, "Stop talking. Three thousand."

"No one is a fool. Their values ​​tell them that it is meaningless to waste ten years of study and earn four or five thousand, let alone pay fees."

Pei Chuqing was surrounded by her father, and she began to calculate in her heart, compared to the value.

Pei Naochun said again: "It's just that for most people who don't read, the upper limit of their life is always that high." He was afraid that his daughter would not understand, so he simply explained, "Most people who don't read or have no education. , they can find a job with the highest salary of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and most of them work hard. For most educated people, their ceiling may be 50,000 yuan." He suddenly laughed again, "Of course, It is also possible that I am like your father and I, and now the salary is only a few thousand yuan."

"Nao Chun, the village chief calls you to go to his house for dinner, and bring Xiuzhen and Chuqing." The second grandmother called directly from the stairs, but did not go upstairs.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the village chief's house for a feast."

Her father and mother walked ahead, and Pei Chuqing hurriedly accelerated her pace to keep up. She was not used to thinking actively, and relied on others to give her a conclusion. Her father said so much, but she frowned and couldn't understand - what the **** To read or not to read? She likes to read, but making money is also important, right?

After returning to his hometown after many years, Pei Naochun still remembered the road clearly. He walked in a hurry and quickly arrived at the village head's house.

Pei Chuqing opened her mouth in surprise. The house in front of her was more like a small bungalow. It was five stories high and well decorated. Because it was the Spring Festival, there was a row of red lanterns hanging outside the door. The house was surrounded by walls and the road inside was smooth. , and two cars.

When she saw such a house in the city, she would just ignore it as usual, but after experiencing the broken house and what her father said, she was amazed at such a house.

"Dad, why..."

"Did you want to ask why the village chief's family is so big?" Pei Naochun, like a roundworm in her daughter's stomach, guessed what she was going to ask, "The village chief was elected by the village, and everyone voted for a relatively famous reputation. , Those who can preside over the work, used to be clans—that is, the elders in the big family, but now generally have relatively strong financial resources, and can appropriately give back to the people in the village to take up positions.”

Before they entered the room, suddenly a ten-year-old boy rushed out with a water gun: "Who is Pei Naochun!" come.

He quickly realized that there was only one man here, and he aimed the gun at Pei Naochun.

"What are you doing?" Pei Chuqing was so angry that she immediately stood in front of her father.

The little boy took out a torn piece of paper from his pocket, raised his eyes and squinted to compare with the person who came, thoughtfully: "It doesn't seem like it."

Pei Chuqing's eyes were sharp, and she could see at a glance that it was the avatar printed on the teaching aid book published by her father. The act of standing in front of her father in a domineering manner just now wavered. Her open hand was slightly drooping and contradictory. She didn't want to let her father The heart of being bullied is intertwined with anger at the attack on the terrorist textbook.

"What are you making a fuss about?" A tall, sturdy man came out of the room, grabbed the little boy's down jacket and lifted him up, "You are solid, aren't you? Playing with toys and bullying others, bullying It's your grandfather's guest."

The little boy kicked his legs desperately and shouted, "I didn't bully people, I beat bad people."

The man was Pei Hua, the son of the village chief. He ignored his son's clamor and greeted the three of them: "Nao Chun, long time no see, come, come into the house!"

"You really are Pei Naochun!" The little boy was anxious when he heard this, he tried to straighten his short legs, but he couldn't reach anyone, the water gun swayed in mid-air, not right, he wanted to pretend to be imposing but was powerless: "I I warn you, don't let the problem happen again! I won't do it, and I won't do it if I kill you! If you go out again, I'll hit you if you go out again!"

"Yo, are you good at it?" Pei Hua was amused when he heard his son's words, "Nao Chun, don't worry about this silly boy, my dad heard that the bookstores you put out are all rushing to buy them, and he also bought one for my dog ​​Dan. Set, this kid can't pass the test, and he will turn the world upside down if he does a few questions."

"I'm not a dog, I'm Pei Aotian!"

Pei Naochun was a little stunned when he wanted to say that he was fine. How could he remember the name of that smart grandson that the village elder was talking about...

Hearing this, Pei Hua was immediately angry, and he hung his son on his shoulders and gave his buttocks to start over again: "Your grandma spoils you and you are still doing your best, right? You have changed your name, what are you doing? Don't you change it for me?"

He remembered, this kid's name is Pei Congming! He was surprised by the straightforward name at the time.

Pei Congming didn't stop: "Okay, Dad, your name is not good, you can just call me Pei Aolong!"

"Haha." Pei Hua sneered, "Naochun, you go to the back room, I'm in a hurry." He and Naochun grew up together, and they didn't see the outside world. From a distance, Pei Congming shouted hoarsely: "You are not my father-I was brought from the trash-"

Pei Chuqing laughed in the back until her stomach hurt. The lively scene made him dilute his entanglement just now. She seemed to remember something, and trotted and patted her father.

"Um?"

She lowered her voice, "Dad, look, you don't really need to provide so many supplementary books, right?" She had thought of well-meaningly suggesting that her father should provide more high school teaching and supplementary books, but thinking that she would go to school sooner or later, she gave up this idea. Seeing the idea of ​​harming herself, she smiled ingratiatingly, "Look, people... Aotian, is also very wronged. Our teachers have said that we need to reduce the burden! Right!"

Before Pei Naochun didn't respond, Su Xiuzhen immediately came over and put her hand on her daughter's shoulder: "Do you want to lighten your load?" The husband only has one day off a week, and he has to take half a day to take his daughter out to play, and the daughter never stays up late at night. Also reduced.

"I swear!" Pei Chuqing pointed her fingers at the sky, "I'm just afraid that my father will work too hard to write too many books, and I can't bear my father's tiredness."

"That's right, Nao Chun, don't work too hard." When Su Xiuzhen heard this, the wind changed again, worrying that it was her husband who blamed himself for the past, so he worked so hard.

"It's alright." Pei Naochun said lightly, "The sales in the province are good, and the editor is going to help me out of the province. I have already revised the manuscript of a new set of teaching manuals for elementary, middle and high schools." He also gently reached out to help On her daughter's shoulder, "It's a pity that I was a little late and couldn't treasure all the textbooks of our family Qingqing."

"Qingqing is already very happy." Su Xiuzhen responded with a smile, "You are so considerate and take care of her."

"...Well, I'm very happy." Pei Chuqing's shoulders were heavy, her heart was even heavier, her lips were raised, but she couldn't see happiness in her eyes.

Dad, your love for me is so heavy that I can't move.

Thinking that in the future, my father will slap his legs - "our family Qingqing is not good at mathematics" and published a strengthening manual, "our family Qingqing is not very good at actual combat" and published 100 sets of test papers... Pei Chuqing's eyes were blacked out.
