Good Dad System

In the past few days, the sky above Pei's house seemed to be covered with a cloud that could not disperse. The atmosphere in the house was solemn, and no one dared to make a sound, for fear of angering that person——

Pei Jianshe crept in. He was carrying a half-length rucksack on his back. It was fully loaded. The rope tightened around his shoulders could tell the weight of the basket. He walked cautiously against the wall, with great difficulty. Staying in the backyard and putting down the back basket, he breathed a sigh of relief, just as he was about to get up, he was immobilized by the voice behind him, and he remained motionless.

"Okay, Pei Jianshe, where is this going?" Li Xiuzhi put her hands on her hips, and she was angry when she saw her eldest son. She could see that there were a lot of edible white mushrooms in the basket, and the freshly-ripened mountain chestnuts next to it. , I know that Pei Jianshe is going to the back mountain to pick some fruit, but so what? She was about to say when she was angry, "You were born this year? How old are you? You still run around and climb trees in clothes for me? Look, you're covered in ashes."

She walked over and wanted to help patting the dust, but when she took a serious look, she really found that Pei Jianshe had a cut on his clothes, but it wasn't deep or cracked, and immediately became irritable: "Pei Jianshe, look for yourself. , my clothes have been damaged! Do you want to be mad at me? Now that there is no fabric at home, your clothes are torn, so just change your clothes with your brother! If you don't have clothes to wear, don't wear them, stay at home Squat down!"

The fire at the city gate brought disaster to Chiyu. Pei Jianlai just came back from the river with a basin of washed clothes on his body. He smiled at Li Xiuzhi flatteringly: "Mom, my clothes are getting dirty slowly, and mine are for my brother!" The elder brother is a little shorter, and he is quite thin. There is no concept of inappropriate clothes in his mind, and he speaks with sincerity.

"Who cares about your tattered clothes, keep your own!" Li Xiuzhi got even more angry after hearing this, "I don't sew it anyway, and whoever breaks it will fix it by myself. When the time comes, don't let people look down on it!" She After stammering words, she entered the room with a twist, and she got angry when she saw these two stupid boys. Why don't you count the tickets that are about to leave her!

"Brother, why are you making mom angry again?" Pei Jianlai stared at his brother reproachfully.

Pei Jianshe took the washbasin from his brother's hand. The two crooked jujube trees in the backyard were tied with ropes, and the clothes were dried here: "No, I just went to get something and broke the clothes." He looks like Gao, full of strength, and quick to dry clothes, he turned his back, "Jianlai, help me to see, is it big?"

"It's done." Pei Jianlai rubbed his hand on his body, squinted his eyes, and looked for it on his brother's clothes. He really found the hole that Li Xiuzhi said. This hole is not small. There are traces, and there is a thread that has been pulled away, "Brother, this hole is a bit big, why did you break your clothes!"

Pei Jianshe's expression immediately became a little panicky. He put his hands behind him, and wanted to pull his clothes over to take a look to confirm the size of the hole, but with his rough action, the clothes immediately announced a strike, and a crisp sound rang out. Under the eyes of my brother, this shirt immediately became a cardigan - quite fashionable, a style with an open back, revealing the thin, dark skin inside.

"...Brother, you." Pei Jianlai took three steps back and raised his hand, with "None of my business" written on his face, "Mom will definitely be angry." He was about to add, you're finished .

"What can I do?" Pei Jianshe was struck by lightning. He wished he could go back in time. He must take off his clothes carefully and never tear them apart.

"Brother, aren't you going to see Sister Bifang tomorrow?" Pei Jianlai's expression was solemn, and his eyes drifted to the clothes that had just been hung up. There were Pei Jianshe's clothes on them, but they were just stitched with patches on top of each other. You can see the traces of splicing and repeated sewing.

The cloth tickets and cotton tickets in the village are based on human hair. The family of five is not enough to make a few clothes and a quilt cover every year. Especially in the early years, one of the three sons grew up fast. , If you want new clothes, it is estimated that you will have to redo it.

In addition to going out to study, Pei Jiancheng, who wears too ugly and shameless clothes, has a little more clothes. Pei Jianshe and Pei Jianlai have always relied on Li Xiuzhi's skillful hands to repeatedly stitch and stitch the clothes. After removing the stitches and sewing a stitch, the two brothers have different statures, and each has two and a half sets of clothes. Later generations joked that they would wear one set after drying. It has always been a fact for them, and it has never been a joke.

Especially in the past few years, Li Xiuzhi has been thinking about the age when her two sons are getting married. At that time, they will always have to make some new clothes, bed covers, and cotton pads. They have already started depositing tickets. This family of five people also Only Pei Jiancheng can get new clothes every year.

After Li Xiuzhi made up her mind two days ago, she moved quickly. She asked a matchmaker to help make peace. After discussing the dowry and dowry beforehand, she had to arrange for her children to see the pictures according to the procedure. The old rule is that it is recognized as a relative. The man and the woman will each go to the other's house and ask their relatives to help.

She obeyed Pei Jianshe's wishes all her life and settled for Su Bifang for him, but Pei Jianlai had no objection, so she still found a girl from the next village just like in her previous life.

For the past few days, Li Xiuzhi has been thinking about the cost of the wedding and the cost of the house. Every day, she is so distressed. Seeing how their two sons are not pleasing to the eye, Pei Jianshe and Pei Jianlai are quite good, and they are very attentive, but no matter how attentive they are, As long as it appeared in front of Li Xiuzhi, it was inevitable to be scolded.

Tomorrow is the scheduled date for Pei Jianshe and Su Bifang to meet each other. Li Xiuzhi has said it again and again that she will not make new clothes until she gets married. She wants Pei Jianshe to choose the newer one among the two old clothes. Thinking of this, this solid-eyed child, remembering that Li Xiuzhi was unhappy, ran all the way to the back of the mountain, and ended up ruining the good clothes.

"You said..." Pei Jiansheling blinked, "How about I take this dress and ask Bifang to mend it for me?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was brilliant. They don't know where she put it. Besides, even if she gets it, he won't make it up?

Pei Jianlai was silent. He looked at his brother and his clothes: "Brother, I don't think...it doesn't seem very good."

"How can it be bad?" Pei Jianshe said excitedly, "Don't you know? Bifang is very good at craftsmanship, and she often sews her own clothes! Her father's clothes are often repaired by her, and she is very good at repairing them. Good, fast, and strong."

"...But brother, are you going to give this dress to Sister Bifang, let her sew it up, and wear it to her house tomorrow?" Pei Jianlai always felt that something was wrong.

"Yes, Bifang moves very fast." Pei Jianshe said confidently.

"Hurry up and don't take it!" As soon as Pei Naochun entered the house, he thought of finding some water in the backyard to drink, but directly attacked the scene of the conversation between the two sons, look at what Pei Jianshe said! How can you do things like this, not to mention that we will see each other tomorrow, Bi Fang has not confirmed the relationship with him yet, there is no reason to trouble others, Rao is a straight man like Pei Naochun, and he can't accept the idea of ​​a stupid son. .

Pei Jianshe still maintains the posture of holding the clothes with one hand, which is very awkward, but he is only afraid that if he lets go, the clothes will fall freely, and the opening will become bigger and bigger: "But Dad, what about the clothes?" He is the most popular in the family. The sturdy one, his brother and father are both thinner than him, even if they really lend him clothes, he can't wear them? If it was borrowed from other people in the village, it would be fine, but Bifang's family belonged to the same village. If someone found out, they would say that their family didn't even have clothes to wear when going out, and my mother would be angry.

"Just make up for it!"

"But Dad, my brother and I don't have needles and threads. The needles and threads are with Mom." Pei Jianlai helped his brother speak.

"...This." Pei Naochun was stunned, yes, his and Li Xiuzhi's room was like half a warehouse. Almost all the slightly more expensive things were kept in their room. It was Li Xiuzhi who took it out of the cabinet. The two sons didn't sew clothes, so there would be no need for needles and threads.

"It's okay, I'll get it, don't let your mother know." Pei Naochun thought about it, turned around and left immediately, ready to go fishing in troubled waters in the room and take out the thread.

He walked fast, not realizing that the two sons behind him looked at each other, reached out to stop him, but failed to stop—

Dad, even if you want to come back, the needle and thread are useless, we don't know how to use it?

...

Pei Naochun lifted the curtain and entered the house. Today, he has an important mission, and it is inevitable that he should act deliberately. After all, he has never done stealing before - no, how can it be considered stealing if you take your own things? Just take it.

Li Xiuzhi was sitting cross-legged on the bed. In front of her was an open cloth bag. On the flat square were the wrapped coupons and the money tied with the headband. She was carefully counting it over and over. When she heard someone enter the door just now, she subconsciously covered the cloth bag and pulled the quilt to cover it. Seeing that it was Pei Naochun, she felt relieved and continued to work.

"What are you doing?" Pei Naochun leaned against the wall and was stunned for a moment. Li Xiuzhi performed the scene of the stolen goods inspection at home, as if she had just returned from work.

Li Xiuzhi looked at him: "What can I do? Count the money, count the votes!"

"Why do you count this?" He didn't quite understand Li Xiuzhi's mentality. The money in the family, the other party had a mental account. Where to use numbers.

"I can't count how many?" Li Xiuzhi said first, "Counting this, I'm happy!"

When she used to be a daughter-in-law, she had no qualifications to manage money. Even when she returned to her mother's house on the second day of the new year, she had to do it under the supervision of her mother-in-law. Eat inside and out, turn your elbows out! When she is in charge, she will be qualified to manage money and accounts. Don't look at the money and the tickets, but they are all treasures in her heart. She can't wait to sleep in her hands firmly every day. It's too beautiful.

But now the money will be spent! Li Xiuzhi's face was ugly, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became. She was so careful and earnestly accumulated, and it was not easy to have this savings. Now, if she said no, it would be gone.

Especially the eldest son, he has to find a prodigal woman. If he doesn't enter the house, he will have to lose a lot of her savings. What sewing machine do you want! Wouldn't it be better to keep the cash? If it wasn't for the other party's guarantee that the sewing machine would come back after a while, she would not agree even if she hanged herself.

I was already angry, and my stupid son was still causing trouble.

Li Xiuzhi first wrapped up the treasures and glared at her husband angrily, saying that I was a hero and my son was a good man. She saw that her son was so stupid that he didn't even know how to manage the house after following Pei Naochun! Or her built well, follow her, be smart!

"What are you staring at me for?" Pei Naochun had already walked to the cabinet. He remembered that every time Li Xiuzhi sewed things, it was the needles and threads he took here. What is there to be nervous about taking your own things? "By the way, we are going to see each other tomorrow. Do you want me to change?"

Li Xiuzhi put the cloth bag back into the small compartment under the bed board. This compartment is quite creative. It got stuck between the bedpost and the bed board, and was painted with dark paint. Unless it was split with an axe, outsiders would never see it. This is also what the elders left behind during the previous war and chaos: "What to change? People are looking at the construction, not the two of us. We wear flowers, and they still want to marry for us?"

"Okay, then I'll wear this one." Pei Naochun's hand reached the destination, he moved quickly, shoved the thing into his pocket, and then closed the cabinet door, he carefully avoided the sharp point, for fear of that The needle pierced himself, "I'll go outside for a walk."

"It's like I won't let you out." Li Xiuzhi waved her hand, but didn't even look at her husband. After counting the tickets, it was time to look at the stored cotton sheets. She thought, she had to make new sheets, but she couldn't buy them now. suitable cloth.

The successful Pei Naochun walked out calmly. Only he knew how fast his heart was beating. He turned the corner and rushed into the two sons' rooms. Dressed up, I spread my clothes on the bed, shirtless, and my younger brother is picking wild vegetables. Even if the clothes are torn, we have to live the same day. When the vegetables are done, Mom must be in a better mood. , The two brothers kept busy.

Pei Naochun took out a sewing kit from his pocket. He had just found a basket in the cabinet. There was such an old-looking sewing kit with some rags. He didn't take it. After the trace of the needle was confirmed, he completed the action. He raised it and shook it at the two sons: "Look, what is this?" After showing off, he immediately put it on the bed, "Quickly use it When I'm done, I'll put it back to your mother."

Pei Jianshe looked at his father and was speechless. He has always respected and worshipped his father, but today he was puzzled. Where did his father get his confidence, believing that they could sew clothes? He hesitated: "Dad, I can't sew!"

Pei Naochun froze, and moved his gaze to Pei Jian's place. The other party immediately understood what he meant and shook his head quickly.

But what to do with this dress?

...

Li Xiuzhi had sorted things out in her room. The money she had saved over the years was actually enough, but every time she spent money, it was as uncomfortable as digging from her heart! She began to think about how to buy a sewing machine. She first asked someone to ask the price. This sewing machine costs one hundred and forty-five and a ticket. The ticket can be solved. replace one.

It doesn't cost much to build a house at home. There is a brick and tile factory in the suburbs of the county. There are adobe bricks for rural use. The price is not expensive. In the early years, the family began to prepare, and when the farming was busy, they prepared some meals and asked the villagers to help with the work.

Over the years, the whole family has tied their trousers together. Although her mother-in-law was not good to her, she was very frugal. After two generations of accumulation, there was only this amount in front of me. so much?

Thinking of this, Li Xiuzhi felt a little shaken in her heart. She unconsciously thought of her precious third son. If Jiancheng could stay in the city, his salary would be 30 or 40 yuan a month, and he would be able to buy two or three sewing machines at the end of the year. Woolen cloth! It's not like they watch the sky to eat.

After she finished the calculation, her reluctance was also a little less, and after slowing down, she got up to go to Pei Jianshe to get the clothes. Although she said that she didn't care, can she see her son wearing ragged clothes tomorrow? It's not time to lose her mother-in-law's face! Maybe those scumbags will talk behind their backs and make up some nonsense that she is a lazy woman!

Thinking of this, Li Xiuzhi didn't delay any longer. She hurried to her son's room, just wanting to fix his clothes quickly. She opened the curtain of her son's room, and then stood there motionless, rubbing her eyes, thinking that she misread-

The windows in the room were raised to the highest level with wooden sticks, and they were bright enough. Pei Jianshe and Pei Jianlai, like door gods, squatted one meter away from the bed, for fear of blocking the light, so they sat on the bed. In the middle, with her legs crossed and her head down to sew clothes, it turned out to be her husband, Pei Naochun, not to mention, the other party's hands were quite fast. spectrum.

Pei Naochun squinted and stared at the opening. The original body's hands were big and thick. It was too awkward to hold an embroidery needle. After hundreds of battles, an embroidery needle can't beat him. After overcoming the shame in his heart, he sewed like a god, and he began to think about patterns.

At first, of course, he never thought of sewing clothes by himself, and he came up with the idea of ​​instructing his son, but who knows, these two boys have stupid brains and even more stupid hands. Without wearing two stitches, it is already like a caterpillar, twisting from side to side. He doesn't feel like wearing such clothes, and Pei Naochun feels ashamed! What can we do in the end? He could only get on it by himself. Fortunately, he had seen some of the previous world and the original documentary, and he had paid attention to Li Xiuzhi's methods in his spare time. No matter how bad it was, he was better than his two sons.

Pei Naochun quickly sewed the clothes. He just went to Pei Jiancheng's room specially, touched a slightly smaller piece of clothing, and removed a gray cloth from the top. Of course, Li Xiuzhi couldn't let Li Xiuzhi know that the sewing was wrong. When it comes to Pei Jianshe's clothes, let alone, it looks a bit like the haute couture style of later generations, and has a very fashion sense - of course, some of this is self-bragging, so it is unknown.

"Come on, Jian Jian, try putting on the clothes and see Dad's craftsmanship." Pei Naochun shook the clothes, feeling extremely satisfied, then raised his head and continued to brag, "It's not Dad's bragging, my way of sewing clothes is better than your mother... …”

He raised his head and was facing the door, and when he saw the stunned woman, he forcibly twisted the bragging words in his throat: "But compared to your mother, it is far inferior! You The clothes that Mom sewed are beautiful, but unfortunately she was unhappy today, so I, the father, reluctantly sewed it." He pretended not to see the person on the other side of the door, and lowered his head to put away his sewing kit.

Pei Jianshe stood up with surprise on his face, turned the clothes around a few times, but couldn't find any uneven needles, and hurriedly put the clothes over the bed: "Jianlai, show me, is this clothes good! "

Pei Jianlai looked up and down and nodded. He always only told the truth: "Dad's sewing is better than mother's!" As soon as he said that, his foot was kicked by his father, and he shrank back blankly. At the time, I received a hint from my father, "It's more than a little bit better, it's like one in the sky and one on the ground!" Although I want to tell the truth, since my father has to ask him to say good things, then he will say it, so that my father will be happy right? He obviously obeyed his father's wishes, but he was kicked by his father again. He was as wronged as he was, so he had to step back and reach a place that his father couldn't reach.

Son, Dad can only help you pour this! Pei Naochun was extremely helpless, he had already hinted it, but who made Pei Jianlai not get along with his brain? He secretly glanced at Li Xiuzhi from the corner of his eye, and said nothing.

"Well, it's a pretty good repair." Li Xiuzhi didn't think it would scare people, so she went straight into the room, she pressed Pei Jianshe to confirm the effect of the next sewing, and then looked at the stupid squatting Pei Jianlai, she wants to control her temper, after all, her son is stupid, it's not the first day, but still...

"You have to think that your father sews better. In the future, if your clothes are torn, go to your father, not me!"

She didn't name her name, but of course Pei Jianlai knew who her mother was talking about. He immediately changed his words: "Mom, I just want to make my father happy! In fact, you sew well, but father sews very badly!"

This time, the hornet's nest was stabbed. Although Pei Naochun knew that people were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, he felt a little unhappy for his son's quick change of words, while Li Xiuzhi on the other end did not feel happy, but felt that his son Under his own coercion, he was forced to compromise.

"Am I so scary? When I came in, I said I sewed well? Why didn't you say that when I was away?"

"Really, Mom! I don't think Dad sews clothes well!"

"It's pretty good." Li Xiuzhi felt a sense of comparison inexplicably, although she still felt that the scene that just came into her eyes was a bit bizarre, "Look, the stitches are fine and the color selection is also quite suitable, it looks good... "As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly froze.

"Nao Chun, where did this strip of cloth come from? I don't remember this color at home?" She remembered every piece of cloth in the frame - of course, these days, you can usually buy any kind of gray, blue, black.

Pei Naochun immediately looked at the sky and the earth, but he didn't look at Li Xiuzhi, and he felt guilty: "I took it at random, and I don't remember it either."

Pei Jianshe and Pei Jianlai kept silent at the same time. They were clearly watching Dad go to Jiancheng's room to touch the clothes. They wanted to stop him. Dad didn't listen. I became an accomplice, how dare I explain it to my mother.

"From my frame?"

Pei Naochun calmly said, "Well."

"...Is that so? When did I still have such a piece of cloth?" Li Xiuzhi didn't think that her husband would lie to her, but she thought it was a mistake, and nodded in approval. "Since your dad sewed for you, wear the clothes well this time, but don't break them again!"

"Okay, got it, thank you mom!"

"Thank you, thank you, it wasn't me who sewed it, it was your dad who was so ingenious that he brought you to sew clothes!" Li Xiuzhi couldn't help looking at her husband's hand, which was a hand that was used to farm work. I really didn't expect that I could pick up an embroidery needle and even sew better than many people.

"Okay, Xiuzhi, let's go back to the house!" The overheated state of his brain subsided, and Pei Naochun thought that he had just been sewing clothes conscientiously. For some reason, two scenes floated through his mind. One was the poem, "The line in the hand of the loving mother, the top of the wanderer's shirt", the second is the character in the martial arts TV series he watched with his children in the previous world, the one who wants to practice this skill must first come from the palace's Dongfang Undefeated.

wait, stop! Pei Naochun withdrew the terrifying thought. He was not a loving mother, nor did he practice martial arts. He had lingering fears about something and forced himself to forget about it.

"Get up early tomorrow, and then clean up yourself." Li Xiuzhi explained again, although she was still eating, but she was afraid that she would forget, "Didn't you come back with some mushrooms? Go to sunbathing with your brother, and then the time will come. Pack it up and send a piece to the Su family."

"Okay!" Pei Jianshe was very excited, and the voice was loud, and there was a faint echo in the room.

Li Xiuzhi rubbed her ears: "Why are you so loud? I'm not deaf!" Then she and her husband walked out one after another, and before they got to the house, she unconsciously said what was in her heart, "Are you so happy? But don't forget your mother when you have a daughter-in-law!"

"No." Pei Naochun, who received the signal in time, immediately started coaxing, "In Jianshe and Jianlai's heart, you mother, you are the first! Look, you are in a bad mood these days, how nervous they are? !"

"Number one, doesn't that say that some people are good at sewing clothes? I can't compare." Li Xiuzhi seemed to have knocked over a bucket of vinegar.

"That's just to coax me! Look at how good your craftsmanship is. This family is not like you, and you have to take care of the sons!"

"I will say good things." Li Xiuzhi was very beautiful in her heart, and explained again, "When we see each other tomorrow, set a time, you can talk to the other side of the brigade, and ask the brigade to help call someone and order some bricks and tiles. , this house needs to be repaired."

Pei Naochun agreed: "Of course, I'll talk tomorrow. Then I'll find a carpenter to build a large cabinet for you and let you live in a new house."

"Why waste this money? It's not like there are no cabinets at home." Li Xiuzhi said so, but she didn't think so in her heart.

"That won't work. It's not just for these two **** to build a house. The two of us have been working hard for all these years, and we must have a good time, right? At that time, I will keep a few rooms here and change them. If there are grandchildren and granddaughters in the future They can live there too!" The villagers all pay attention to long-term vision, not to mention whether they will split up in the future, they just say that these two boys get married and have children, and when the children grow up, they will always have a room. "You have used that cabinet for many years, I have I don’t have any skills, I can’t make much money, and it’s okay to build a new cabinet.”

Li Xiuzhi was obviously taking money from her pocket, but Li Xiuzhi was very happy to hear it. Although her husband didn't talk too much lately, he was talking to her more and more. Although the two children were still... clumsy as always, they were still very polite to her. This mother can be regarded as a heart and a lung. Forget it, can I exchange it for my own? Just be nice!

Pei Naochun just smiled, someone who should appear, should be coming in the next two days, right?

...

"Complete, you should think about it well anyway." The middle-aged man sitting at the desk closed the book and said to the thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy in front of him.

"Okay, I understand, teacher, and I will discuss it with my family." Pei Jiancheng stood in front of the desk, nodding constantly, and then he went out the door after seeing that there was nothing to do.

Pei Jiancheng is about to graduate from junior high school in this school year. His grades are considered good among his classmates. It's the best choice. Going to university is far away from children in the village like them! It's just that the turmoil in the past few years still has lingering charm. To be honest, the graduation allocation for three consecutive years has been suspended.

If he wants to continue his studies, the tuition fee for one year is 13 or 4 yuan. Although his family is struggling, he can afford it. He knows that his mother has saved a lot of money, but whether he can continue to stay in the county after graduation, then That's the problem.

But this question is not something he can decide by himself. Although he knows that his mother has always been towards him, if it involves staying in the county to work in the future, it will cost a lot of money.

Today is a week off, and Pei Jiancheng never goes back. He usually walks or takes a car to go back to the village. The car costs money, but walking is labor-intensive. It takes more than half a day to come and go. He would rather stay in the dormitory and read more books. , Besides, he prefers to stay in the county town rather than going back to the village, but now, he has to go back if he doesn't want to go back.

Pei Jiancheng quickly packed the package. There was only a book and a piece of steamed bun bought in the cafeteria. It was a little hard because it was cold. He planned to eat it on the road. He carried the bag and left the school. Prosperity, he looked around, the impact of the storm on the county was much greater than on the village. If it wasn't for the intervention of the army, their school would have been closed, but even so, the days would still go on. Today, everything seems to be recovering. As usual, people from the supply and marketing cooperative come and go, many cadres in the county cafeteria come and go, and there are bicycles on the streets... All the things in front of me are beyond the reach of the village.

He'd been here for years, and he knew very well that he wanted to stay here.

Since Pei Jiancheng showed his talent for reading among his brothers, he has hardly been on the ground again. When he was a child, before he was old enough to work, he helped deliver water several times, and he still clearly remembers it. The summer sun is always too hot, shining on people, as if they are burning. He can sweat all over just walking from home to Tianna, but the family members who are working seem to have no feeling. He stopped, kept silent, and worked hard. At that time, when he saw such a scene, he suddenly felt fear, which also greatly helped him to go to school later.

For him, reading is much easier than farming. He doesn’t need to bask in the sun or exert his physical strength. He doesn’t even understand why his two brothers think that reading is too hard, and would rather go to farming, and occasionally rejoice in despicableness. Fortunately, the brothers are not good at reading, and he is the only one in the family who can enjoy the privilege.

But this privilege is based on the fact that he can read, make a living, and can stay in the city. Pei Jiancheng only needs to think that one day, he will not be able to stay here, and he will have to go back to the village with his brother and parents. He was terrified when he went to work. He didn't think that there was any extraordinary significance to commodity grain and being a city person, but he knew that staying here would be happier and more comfortable than going back.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiancheng wanted to put his wings on and fly back. He had to talk to his mother and ask her to save some money for him. He wanted to stay in the county town. As long as he could stay, he would definitely repay the family!

...

"Xiuzhi, our food is too..." Pei Naochun sat in the main seat and couldn't help but speak his mind.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiuzhi put down her chopsticks and gave her husband a stern look, "Ask Jianshe, Jianlai, how is this kind of food?"

"It's very good, Mom cooked very well!" Pei Jianlai immediately cheered, and he didn't forget to clear the contents of the bowl.

Pei Jianshe also nodded sharply. Since the successful meeting with Su Bifang, he has been in a state of high happiness: "It's very delicious, but it's sweet!" He eats everything sweet, thinking that when the house is ready, he will be able to Marry Bifang, he will be happy.

"It's just you." Li Xiuzhi continued to eat, regardless of Pei Naochun, she was also used to eating.

Pei Naochun's face was expressionless, and he almost suspected that he was the only person in the family who was not normal. Today, the family's meals are quite simple. One portion of corn and more than half a bowl of clear soup for rinsing rice grains, plus a cold cucumber-cucumber only I added a little salt and said it was a cold salad, which really gave him face.

Since Pei Jianshe and Pei Jianlai saw each other, Li Xiuzhi began to deduct her family's food. She said it was reasonable and well-founded, but only said that it will cost money to build a house, get married and buy meat, and spend another for the New Year... Anyway, There is always a reason, the two sons accepted it quickly, but Pei Naochun was really not used to eating half full for a long time.

In the final analysis, it is because of poverty this year.

He was so hungry that he obediently started eating. He couldn't help but look at Li Xiuzhi. He always suspected that people of this era had their own body detectors and could accurately prepare the amount that would make them hungry, otherwise the workload would be too intense. So big, he should have fainted long ago.

Li Xiuzhi continued to announce her policy: "Recently, you guys are free, so you have to go to the mountains to get some more fruit or something. After that, you can get a room at home, which can be used for entertaining. Also, don't break your clothes, you have to break your clothes again. , I want your dad to sew it for you!"

Pei Naochun almost choked to death. Before he could resist, he heard a movement from the door——

"Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, I'm home." Pei Jiancheng appeared at the door. He was wearing neat clothes. Although there were inevitably a few stitches, he was the smallest in the family.

"Jiangcheng is back." Li Xiuzhi's heart softened as soon as her third son came back, she even forgot what she said to her husband a few days ago, "Why didn't you tell Mom first, take a look , I didn't prepare your meal, I'm starving?"

Pei Jiancheng smiled: "It's okay, Mom, I ate steamed buns on the way."

"It's cold, right? Come, sit down first, and Mom will get you something to eat." Li Xiuzhi immediately ran to her house, grabbed an egg from the closet, and then ran to the kitchen, planning to make a bowl of eggs for her son Shui, she was busy in and out of the field, not caring about the people on the table.

Pei Jiancheng still had a youthful air on his face. He sat in his seat and smiled with Pei Naochun: "Dad, I'm back!"

Pei Naochun just nodded, which was his usual practice.

"Jiangcheng, you've lost weight!" Pei Jian was the first to talk to his younger brother. He was jealous of his younger brother and envied him, but more than that, he was brainwashed by Li Xiuzhi's long-term publicity and education. He also felt that this younger brother was rare. It's hard to study, he can't go to elementary school, and if his younger brother can study for so long, he will be a capable person in the future!

"I'm not thin, maybe the clothes I've been wearing recently are thin." Pei Jiancheng smiled shyly and looked at Pei Jianshe again, "Brother, are you tall again?"

"Not high!" Pei Jianshe scratched his head embarrassedly, and laughed stupidly.

Pei Jiancheng looked at his second brother suspiciously. Why did he think his elder brother was weird?

Pei Jianlai, who was not shy, hurriedly shared the happy thing with his brother: "Mom helped me and your brother meet the girl, and I haven't had time to tell you, I will get married in the next year! The sister-in-law that the eldest brother found for us is a villager. Sister Bifang in here!"

Pei Jianshe quickly beat his younger brother, his face flushed: "What nonsense is a sister-in-law not a sister-in-law! It's not good for others to hear, anyway, that's what happened."

Pei Jiancheng also laughed: "That's great, I'll have two sisters-in-law in the future!"

"Also, the family is going to build a new house! Parents were afraid of disturbing your study, so they didn't tell you that the house will be ready when you come back next time!"

Hearing his brother's words, Pei Jiancheng's face suddenly froze, his hands under the table tightened, he hesitated, wondering if his request was out of date? I felt like someone was fighting, killing you and me.

He didn't want to stay in the city, but home
