Good Dad System

Is her life unlucky?

If you ask Pei Jinxiu this question, she will definitely shake her head, give a negative answer with a smile, shrug her shoulders and say with ease: "Actually, I always think I'm really lucky."

Of course, in the eyes of others, her self-confidence was a bit of self-comfort and swollen face.

Wu Yunyi, who grew up with Pei Jinxiu, has always believed in this. Wu Yunyi and Pei Jinxiu have a lot of fate. They have been classmates since kindergarten, and they are in the next class in elementary school. The two girls from junior high and high school were lucky enough to be assigned. In the same class, although they haven't been at the same table yet, they already regard each other as their best friends. According to the popular saying, they are best friends. According to the popular saying of later generations, they are very good girlfriends.

Except when she was in kindergarten, when she was not a governor, Wu Yunyi, who was a little older and sensible, has always been very fond of this friend around her.

City C is a county-level city. Although at the "county" level, its GDP ranks quite high and its economy is fairly developed, it is still far behind any provincial capital or big city. Planning, all kinds of waste are prosperous. From morning to night, it is either building roads or digging land. In such a county, people are more concerned about human connections than outside. It seems that the parents are short-sighted gossip, which hides a lot of information.

Not long after they became friends with Pei Jinxiu, Wu Yunyi heard the other's unfortunate life from her mother's sighing voice.

It was at the dining table at that time. Mother Wu's eyes were gentle, and her eyes were full of distress. She was holding vegetables for her daughter, and she said gossip by the way: "Yunyi, you have to be nice to your little classmate, she is pitiful. ."

Father Wu took the vegetables and glanced at his wife, who was always gossiping about other people's family, with some dissatisfaction: "You can't keep your mouth shut when you eat, so what are you talking about in front of your daughter?" But he couldn't help but be curious, "This little boy What happened to the girl? Speaking of which, I don't know Yunyi's new friend."

Wu's mother wasn't annoyed either. She glanced at her duplicitous husband. Don't all men look the same? Her mouth said she didn't want to know, but she was very curious: "You probably know it too. That little girl belongs to the old Peitou from Peili Village, and her father is Pei Naochun." She reported a place name, and the county was divided into different regions. Kailai, sometimes I don't know how these older generations matched people they didn't recognize according to the village.

"Oh..." Father Wu responded and nodded, "That's pitiful."

Wu Yunyi didn't understand, she just looked around blankly: "Is Jinxiu doing well?" She was worried about her little friend.

"That's not it." Wu's mother spoke with sympathy, as a mother, you can't see the child's bad life, "Her mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to her. I heard that she was still premature and spent a lot of money on medical treatment. When I took it home, the family's money was spent. His father and his mother had some craftsmanship together, and they also recruited a team of workers. In the second half of the year, they didn't pick up work for a year, and they were scattered later. , why don't you go to work for someone else? I heard that such a young man goes to the construction site with his father every day."

She didn't quite understand what she said. After all, the affairs of outsiders have changed a lot. The fact is that the medical insurance in the early years was not so standardized. Mother Pei and Pei Jinxiu did spend a lot of money, and they met Grandpa Pei later. My grandmother and Pei took turns getting sick and passed away. This funeral, marriage and marriage was a big expense and a lot of energy. In the end, this family that was not rich but also well-off was finally dragged down and owed some external debts. There are no elders in the family. , Pei Naochun couldn't entrust the child to others, so he had to pull it by himself, and the wages earned by hired workers, in addition to supporting himself and his daughter, had to pay off debts, plus workers like them who did not belong to the regular army , I also encounter bosses who are in arrears in project payments from time to time, and I haven't been able to save much money over the years.

Of course Wu Yunyi didn't understand it at that time. She just nodded her head when she was still young, and left an impression in her heart that her best friend might have a not-so-good family and family, and what her mother said, sigh. Angrily: "A child without a mother is grass."

However, in the days that followed, she realized more and more intuitively how much it contained in the understatement of mother and father that this child was pitiful.

Wu Yunyi and Pei Jinxiu always talked about everything. Even when they went to the toilet, you had to call me and I called your partner. She saw and knew more and more.

She knows that most of the classmates in the class have their parents pick them up after school. Everyone often gathers at the school gate. Although there is not much pocket money, they can occasionally buy a cup of coconut milk tea for 1 yuan, a bag of double chicken cake for 50 cents, and the price It's not too expensive to wait for the incense sticks, but Pei Jinxiu will never participate in such occasions. Even if others eat deliciously, she just shakes her head and says that she doesn't want to eat it.

The stationery store in front of the school, in addition to ordinary stationery, also has a variety of upgraded versions of toys that attract students, stickers that can change clothes for dolls, soft leather notebooks with exquisite patterns, diaries with locks, etc. Even pens and erasers have different styles depending on the price. Even the book cover is divided into a slightly more expensive hard-cover version, and the simplest and ordinary ultra-thin version, and girls who are particular will buy some tricks. Different book covers, carefully wrap the textbooks and then put the book covers on.

In the same way, Pei Jinxiu still doesn't care about these things. Her books are wrapped in the simplest calendar paper. The white side is exposed outside, and the different patterns inside can be faintly revealed, such as pencil cases and so on. It has never been changed, it will always be the same, and even the pens, I have bought three or two, and then a whole bundle of refills, just because the refills are usually a few hairs cheaper than the pens, and those with hair The workbook that comes down is even more so when the front is finished and the back is written. When one is finished, the surrounding edges can be used as scratch paper, so there will be no waste.

Girls always have the same "little obsessions". Wu Yunyi has ignorantly encouraged her friends, hoping that the other party will use the same book as her. The price of the book is not expensive, only four yuan, but Pei Jinxiu refused to agree. .

She took her friend's hand and said, "Yunyi, my father has a hard time making money. I can't spend it indiscriminately."

Hearing that, Wu Yunyi just got stuck. In fact, she is not someone who spends money indiscriminately, but she always feels that she doesn't need to be so "harsh" on herself, right? Just like parents, who gave a few pocket money a week, and she didn't spend it all? Why not give yourself a little reward every now and then? Of course, in the end, no one persuaded the other. The two friends fought coldly for several days, and finally got together again in Pei Jinxiu's soft words.

But that's not all.

Wu Yunyi knew that Pei Jinxiu would go home alone with her schoolbag every day. In the mezzanine of her pocket, she kept the keys to her home—the house she and her father lived in was quite old, with a history of 20 to 30 years. Grandpa renovated it once when he was alive, and many of the decorations are very old-fashioned now. Even the floor tiles are made of red diamonds that have long been eliminated, which is not the same concept as smooth tiles.

The reason why she went home on time was because Pei Jinxiu had to study hard, and also shared the housework for the family. Wu Yunyi opened her mouth wide when she heard this for the first time. They were all children born after family planning. The only child, everyone is the little princess in the family, plus the parents' generation has always been diligent, busy on weekdays, never let the children make trouble, Wu Yunyi goes home every day, just waits for her mother to finish cooking, the only thing she does Housework is to clean up my room a little bit, and she never needs her help with other things. Even bringing bowls and meals to my parents, I have to listen to several compliments.

But Pei Jinxiu took care of the small chores at home. When she was very young, she and the small bamboo bench at home became conjoined twins. Well, washing dishes, washing clothes, and cooking while worrying about feet, in fact, Pei Naochun is of course reluctant to let her daughter do so much, but the specific location of their construction site is not confirmed, and sometimes the distance from home is really too far , if everything has to wait for him to come home, it will delay too many things. He has persuaded his daughter several times, but he has not been able to persuade him. Over time, he can only acquiesce to these things, but he, the father, is not harsh on her daughter. , As long as he gets home, he is too diligent to do all the rest of the housework and rush his daughter to study.

It's just these, in the eyes of many children who are also favored by their parents, they are already "poor" enough. Maybe they are young and don't understand why they don't eat minced meat. Maybe they are simply the world around them. In short, they started very young. , Pei Jinxiu received countless "sympathy", even if she tried hard to refuse, there was nothing she could do.

Wu Yunyi once solemnly pulled her friend to her side on her birthday and hugged each other tightly, she told Pei Jinxiu intimately: "Jinxiu, I made a wish, I hope good luck will come to you soon, everything will be Get well."

How could Pei Jinxiu reject the kindness of her friend at that time, she had to smile bitterly, nodded, opened and closed her mouth, and chose to hold back her words, but she really felt that her luck was good enough.

She has a father who loves her, and classmates who like her. Although her grades are not good or bad, she works hard, at least it won't be too bad.

Yes, life is a little bit "bitter", but it's not that hard. Helping Dad with his work can reduce Dad's burden. She is happy to watch Dad who comes back sweating every time and sit there to take a breath; Dad also gave her pocket money. She spends less money and saves the money little by little. She also feels very happy. The little things add up, maybe one day, she will be able to buy a TV, a washing machine, and a kitchen for her family. There are so many things.

Contentment is always happy, the world often loves comparison, to be able to live well, and to work hard and have results, is enough to be happy, Pei Jinxiu always remembers her father's words - even if she is really unlucky and frowns every day, God will not like to put good luck For such a child, she is satisfied enough, even if she doesn't get anything, it doesn't matter.

"Pei Jinxiu, have you been lucky recently!" Wu Yunyi couldn't help hugging her friend and blurted out, her brows were curved, the bad mood of the past few days suddenly dissipated, and she was sincerely happy for her friend at this moment, "I knew it , you are so good, you won't be unlucky all the time."

Pei Jinxiu looked at her girlfriend helplessly: "I used to have good luck too!"

Well, here we go again, Wu Yunyi pouted, she can't stand her friend's theory of life happiness that seems to be brainwashed, but she can't stand it and can't do anything, who makes this her most cherished friend? "Don't talk to me about that, anyway, all I know is that from now on, everything will be fine for you."

What is the most expensive word in the world? There are many answers to this question, such as what to love, hate, forget, etc., but in the eyes of realists, it is a big split character written with a red pen at the door of the house. By the way, you have to draw a red circle.

In a small county, although demolition will not make you rich, you can basically make some money—most of the old houses are land, and the buildings with small courtyards are usually three or four-story buildings from their own homes, and the area is never small. , But there are always some problems in old houses, and in the past, most of these areas were not in urban planning, and the roads and drainage were very general, and it was difficult to even expect to get natural gas. Therefore, it has not been very valuable to sell a house for rent, and after the demolition, the houses allocated are all the communities planned by the government. According to the area conversion, it can be divided into two or three sets at least! When the time comes, you can rent it out for your own use, whatever you want.

"Well, it will be fine." Pei Jinxiu knew that her friend was happy for her, but she couldn't help feeling a little empty. She knew in her heart what brought these good fortunes, the dead koi spirit, It seemed like he really gave her a great gift.

During this period of time, her luck has been good a bit too much, and the people around her have been affected to some extent, but whether this change is good or bad, no one can say clearly.

"By the way, I have good news for you." Wu Yunyi held her friend's hand and jumped, "I didn't get sick in the exam this time, and I did well in the exam! If I don't get sick in the future, I will definitely come back. Do your best!" As soon as she has something fun, she wants to share it with her friends.

Pei Jinxiu nodded: "That's good." She didn't want to blame everything on her head, but it all seemed to have something to do with her.

"If you do better in the test, Dad will be happy..." Speaking of which, Wu Yunyi suddenly lost her head. She lowered her head and looked at the floor.

Pei Jinxiu sensed something was wrong, and held her friend's hand nervously. To put it bluntly, her friend was a silly optimist, something had been wrong all this time, she thought it was exam syndrome! Now it seems that it has something to do with the family: "Yunyi, didn't we agree to tell each other the truth? Did something happen to you?"

"I..." Wu Yunyi knew the reason why family ugliness should not be publicized, and her mother cried and educated her several times, but looking at her friend's worried eyes, she couldn't hold back her sadness, and began to confide, "I I used to think that I was very happy and lucky, but now it seems that I am the most unlucky one."

She used to feel sorry for her friend who didn't have a mother, but after going around, not only was she about to lose her father, but even her mother was going crazy.

"What's up?"

"My dad cheated. My mom is going crazy too." She smiled bitterly, "I used to say every day that I would find a good man like my dad in the future. In my heart, there is no better man in the world than my dad. Well, it turned out that some time ago, my mother dragged me to catch an adulterer." It was difficult for her to describe how she felt when she was dragged by her mother to the hotel, broke through the door, and saw her father and other women being rude to me, She felt like her sky was falling apart that day.

The mother, who has always been gentle, rushed up to fight with the other party, leaving her face hurt. She also accompanied her parents and father's little three to the police station for a walk. After she came out, her mother confronted her. She cried hysterically: "Did you see that, Yunyi, look at your father, what kind of a wolf-hearted man, is he worthy of our mothers? Is he still a person? I want him to be ruined and have nothing! I hate him. "

Wu Yunyi used to be a keyboard warrior when she saw online posts, scolding mistresses and cheating **** for one set after another, but when this man was her father, she was suddenly speechless, and she went home that day After trembling for a long time, she called her best friend and listened to Pei Jinxiu's brisk voice on the other end of the phone. After hearing her talk about the housework and books she had read today, her heart became calm, and then she said, "It's alright." .

In the past few days, my mother has changed again, and she began to force her to bombard her father with calls every day, telling him that he must go home, and that he would commit suicide if he did not go home. Mother divorced neatly, but when she saw the deep pain in her mother's eyes, what else could she say? I can only say to my father: "If you still treat me as a daughter, come back."

When Wu Yunyi said the end, she already cried: "I don't want to tell others, I feel that I am too unlucky, why is it like this? I feel that my father is not my father, my mother is not my mother, and my home is not mine. Home, Jinxiu, I am in so much pain, I feel that my life will not get better."

Pei Jinxiu was silent for a long time, hugging each other tightly, she said, "Yunyi, it will be fine, everything will be fine, good luck will favor you." If this good luck is useful, she hopes Yunyi She can also be lucky. She hopes that everyone around her will be happy and not worry about life.

Humans are so complicated.

Even though Pei Jinxiu had repeatedly warned herself in advance to stay calm and not to affect too many people, when something really happened, she wished that she could be more powerful and help more people.

...

It was a rest day after the exam, and Pei Jinxiu bought vegetables on the way home. When she arrived at the market, she would pick the freshest vegetables of the day, even ten watermelons placed in front of her, she also Guaranteed to find the sweetest one, she quickly finished shopping and thought about it for a long time on the way home.

She couldn't figure out why this koi spirit ran into her, and, in the end, will the use of this ability bring any bad results? The fragments of memory she got from the koi spirit told her that this good fortune was favored by the gods and would not have any sequelae. The reason for the former mighty feeding.

Of course, in the memory fragments of the koi spirits, it is also mentioned that they are inherited from the bloodline——

"Getting is doomed to the realization of desire; desire is the instinct to seek."

"Good luck is not necessarily good luck, and bad luck is not necessarily bad luck."

"Koi can bring good luck, but they don't have the ability to protect good luck."

Pei Jinxiu actually doesn't quite understand the meaning of this, she just vaguely feels that excessive use of the ability to bring good luck is not a good thing - not that it will make those who have good luck turn back, but... ...just what? She couldn't tell.

But there's no need to think so much, Pei Jinxiu smiled and shook her head, she wouldn't overuse it anyway, she already had enough good luck.

When I walked near the house, there was already a lot of people there. Since the news of the demolition came out, everyone was like this. Everyone was beaming and full of spring breeze. Many families gathered here and discussed the future distribution method. Yes, it looks like some kind of wet market online.

Pei Jinxiu is a child who grew up here. Everyone knows her. When they see her, many uncles and aunts say hello: "Jinxiu, are you going home now? This child is very good. The house has been doing housework, and this girl has worked so hard, but luckily it will be demolished, and the life of the Chun family will be better in the future." Everyone is not afraid to let the children hear, after all, the adults speak, and the children can't understand.

Someone next to him who had just finished the discussion, was counting the ledger, and the voice was the boss: "I asked about the relocation of Fuxing Road in the front, and they all said that this house is divided, and I have to make up money, and I don't know the specifics. What is the cost? Anyway, it is necessary to make up for the difference in area. What kind of certificate is required, let alone decoration. I heard that this garage costs a lot of money. Who doesn't buy a car now? If I didn’t buy a garage, how could there be so many places to park outside, in short, it would cost tens of thousands of dollars!”

"So much?" Another aunt stammered, "That's amazing. My house has been demolished, and I have to post so much money to go in? It's a loss, a loss." She patted her thigh.

"You live in a new house, which is definitely better than an old house." The knowledgeable person explained, "This is called up-front investment, and people who have access to the family want to add more money to buy a few square meters! I heard that only the top floor is the Duplexes, people are rushing to buy duplexes! Those small ones, everyone doesn’t like living very much!”

"So what? My wife doesn't understand. Anyway, I know that I have to add more money. It's not that there is too much money and no place to spend. Whoever has so much spare money, when they move out, they still have to find a place to live!"

The other person laughed loudly: "What are you talking about, auntie, the three sons of your family are all good, so you can live in one for a month, that's all right! Besides, whoever has no money, Your family will not be out of money, how can anyone have no savings these days, and when the time comes, it will always work!"

This is laughter, and Pei Jinxiu's heart is suddenly a little cold when she hears this. She bit her lip and buried her head to go home. It is not that these words pierced her heart, but something suddenly hit her heavily. heart.

Her family does not have much savings. She knows the income of the family. Dad never hides it from her. Every change in salary will be disclosed directly. Even if Dad works **** the construction site, he makes a lot of money. The two saved money, but it was not until the first two years that they managed to repay the debt. Last time, my father said that he would save money for her to go to college afterward. If nothing else, just five or six a year. Thousands of tuition fees, plus the living expenses of seven or eight hundred less each month, it is already a lot.

According to popular words, their family has no ability to "resist risks". The father and daughter will not be impoverished, but no one can fail. Once one of them fails, the family will also collapse in half. If it's really according to what the uncle said just now, it's far from enough. Even if it's enough, it's going to ruin the family and add debt. If something happens, it's completely complete.

While thinking about these troubles, Pei Jinxiu was still chopping vegetables and preparing for dinner tonight. From time to time, she would look back at the clock behind to make sure that her father would not come back.

However, my father will never tell her troubles. Every time my father chooses to grit his teeth and take care of it himself. She, being a daughter, is often behind the scenes, only to find out later that she is like the uncle who worked with her father in the unpaid world back then. , she almost jumped off the rooftop and got on the news before she knew the ins and outs of the matter, otherwise she would not have been able to tell the problem from the normal father.

Why is she always so useless?

No, she seems to be useful! Thinking of this, Pei Jinxiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the heavy stone also fell. She seemed to be able to...

"Jinxiu, I'm back."
