Good Dad System

The air in the room was stagnant and silent for a while.

Su Xiuzhen sighed in her heart, looking at her husband who bowed his head and said nothing, her heart was complicated and sour.

In the time after her marriage, she was the happiest and most comfortable recently. Her husband pursued her career and was considerate to her and her daughter. Although the old problem of donating money has not been corrected, he always reported to her every time and reserved money for her. Household spending and savings needs are no longer put the cart before the horse as they once were.

At her age, she has no emotional needs. She only hopes that the family will be peaceful, her daughter will thrive, and everything will go according to her wishes. , and put out all the money in the family. Even if the money is in the savings card under her name, her husband never asks for the password, and Su Xiuzhen still has feelings for her.

When the state abolished the burial, Pei Naochun's ashes were bought and stored in the cemetery. When the tomb was cleaned, he also went to the cemetery. Su Xiuzhen never set foot in her husband's hometown. Occasionally, her husband went to the village privately, all to be a good-fortune boy. , she even had no good ideas about going to the village.

"I..." Pei Naochun's eyes wandered between his wife and daughter, hesitating whether he was acting too hastily.

He knew very well that the thorn in Su Xiuzhen and Pei Chuqing's heart had never been removed, but it was now covered up by something else.

He smiled reluctantly: "Actually, it's fine if you don't go, there aren't many holidays at school..."

"Nao Chun, what are you going to do in the village?" Su Xiuzhen sorted out her mood. "The village should be very busy during the Spring Festival. Will we trouble others when we go there?" When the elder died, her husband's household registration was also moved out. , and later did not know how her husband negotiated with the village, so he did not keep the house and homestead in the village.

At this moment, she is not too afraid to go back to the village. What is the use of being afraid?

If Pei Naochun really intends to continue to be a good person, it is useless for her to stop her from going back to the village. If the other party just wants to go back and have a look, what can she object to?

Pei Naochun explained: "I want to take you to live in the village for three days. I've got in touch with the village chief. The second uncle and the others have a bigger house. I borrowed two rooms, just enough for us to live in." He was ready for this matter. After a long time, "this era has changed very quickly." He expressed emotion.

"I don't know what the village will be like in the future." Pei Naochun sighed, "I want to show the two of you where I grew up before the big change."

Su Xiuzhen was a little stunned, but the thought that her husband said was something she did not expect.

Pei Chuqing adjusted slowly, and then changed her somewhat stiff face, hesitating and yearning: "Where Dad grew up..."

She once secretly flipped through the albums at home, saw the photos of her father's graduation, and the big group photo just joined the job... How did your father grow up? She seemed to be aroused by curiosity, and at the same time, she couldn't forget the way her father went to the countryside to see students and returned in a hurry with a bag of eggs, and was scolded by her mother.

Pei Naochun sighed: "I heard that the village has changed a lot. Many young people have gone out to work. When they earn money, they will take their elders out, so that they can meet more people during the Chinese New Year, and it will be difficult to say in the future." It was too early, even relatives in the village could not be called together, and my parents left early, and the connection with the village was not very close.

Pei Chuqing carefully cast her eyes on her mother, she blinked with some anticipation: "Mom, do you want to go?"

It is said that children hold grudges, but children are the easiest to trust. Su Xiuzhen was still worried about gains and losses. When she was worried, Pei Chuqing only had yearning in her heart.

"Me..." Su Xiuzhen met her daughter's small eyes, and noticed that her husband seemed quite disappointed, and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go."

After saying these words, she was relieved: "It's better to go and have a look, it's just a tour." This is not a tour, it can be regarded as an experience of life, she thought happily, she can also let her own Chuqing exercise. .

"Okay!" Pei Chuqing immediately applauded, very cheering, and started chatting, "Dad, is there anything delicious in the village?" She remembered that a classmate said about going to a farmhouse, and she was a little bit looking forward to it, but she didn't know much about the countryside. She has a real concept, how can she know that the real countryside and the farmhouse are completely different things.

"Well..." Pei Naochun didn't have the nerve to lie to his daughter, "It's not fun."

"Dad lied."

"That's fun?" Pei Naochun could only answer casually when his daughter looked at her fiercely.

"Wow, that's great!" Pei Chuqing jumped up happily, recalling the projects her classmates talked about - fishing, feeding geese, picking wild fruits, horse riding...

Pei Naochun looked at his wife blankly, and didn't understand, why did he force himself to lie?

Su Xiuzhen was amused, raised her eyebrows and mouthed to imply that her husband "seeks more happiness". When her daughter sees the real countryside, she doesn't care if she is unhappy.

…

"Dad, how long will it take?" Pei Chuqing leaned on her mother's shoulder, her face pale. She had just vomited because of motion sickness.

"It's just ahead, it'll be there in about twenty minutes." Pei Naochun looked at the time.

The road in the village, which was built in the early 1960s, has long been full of potholes. Not long after leaving the smooth road outside the county, this bus dedicated to the county and village transportation swayed.

As soon as they got in the car, the inexperienced Chu Qing caught the last four people in the row at a glance. Pei Naochun tried to dissuade her, but couldn't stop her daughter who was extremely excited.

There is also a lot of attention to making a car. For a bus like this, the further back you go, the less you can hold your center of gravity. Anything that is slightly bumpy on the road can make you dizzy and your **** hurts.

Pei Chuqing quickly suffered from the consequences, she was so dizzy that she couldn't look forward because of her mother.

"It's here." Su Xiuzhen also comforted her daughter, she was not very car sick, but it hurt a little when her **** was on the chair.

"It's here, get out of the car." The driver in front spoke in a local dialect, his voice rough, and rushed people to get off.

"Let's get off here!" Pei Naochun immediately picked up the family's luggage, helped his daughter and wife to get up, and walked to the car door, "Wait out, it's where Dad grew up."

As soon as the car door opened, fresh air and cold wind came in together, which relieved Pei Chuqing's motion sickness. After she got better, she immediately became happy again: "It's finally here!" This excitement disappeared the moment she got off the car.

When they got off the bus, the bus closed immediately and sped away without looking back, leaving only a cloud of black exhaust when it started.

Pei Chuqing blinked and looked around blankly: "Dad, this is the village you grew up in?" The first thing you see is a field, and if you look far away, you can see a house full of shadows. The road is quite rough, like It was like small gravel, completely different from the asphalt road she saw in the city.

"Yes, this is where Dad grew up." Yuan Shen was full of affection for his hometown, and even Pei Naochun was a little excited. He pointed to the front, "Let's go inside and we'll be there."

Pei Chuqing held her mother's hand and walked behind her father. Neither she nor her mother took anything, but she was still a little tired.

"Just after the field is an unusually large and unnamed tree. It looks very old and has a somewhat obscuring momentum. There are some chairs under the tree. The cold wind blows and the leaves fall from time to time. In the weather, there were a lot of people sitting there chatting.

"...Spring?"

"Hey, spring is coming!"

It seems that a few women recognized Pei Naochun and greeted him happily and shouted.

What Pei Chuqing noticed was a few children playing with grass beside the chairs, big and small, the oldest looked like five or six years old, and the youngest was probably only in his early 20s or 30s. Almost every one of them had red faces and a little skin. Black and yellow, the hair is messy, and they are all cut short, and they are wearing all kinds of cotton clothes, with some styles... Pei Chuqing thinks that the evaluation is not very good, but these styles are indeed rarely seen in the mall, and they all look a little bit different. old.

She couldn't help but think of the grandchildren of several aunts in the alley. They were dressed up and chatted outside the door every day. They should all be children, but they looked really different.

"I'm back." Pei Naochun greeted one by one, "This is my wife, Xiuzhen, and my daughter, Chuqing." He made a brief introduction. Fortunately, his family in the village was of a simple generation, so he Always let Chuqing call her aunt, aunt, etc. first.

"Oh, your daughter is so old?" The oldest of them was Pei Naochun's second aunt. She was very excited, "Did you say last time that your daughter is now in junior high school?" She gave a thumbs up, " It's really amazing, but it's not like the one in my family, whose skin is not good enough, so I won't go to junior high school."

Pei Chuqing heard this. In an unfamiliar environment, she knew that it was not good to interject, but what she heard made her a little confused. It was clearly stated in the book that nine years of compulsory education should not graduate from junior high school? Among her elementary school classmates, there are not many classmates who did not go to junior high school, and also went to secondary school to learn technology, and she has not seen any dropouts.

Pei Naochun couldn't hold back and started preaching: "I have persuaded you a few times, what can you do after a primary school diploma? Junior high school tuition fees are not much now..."

The second aunt waved her hand: "You can read, but he can't. What do you do with this money? Your second uncle found him a master to learn how to maintain air conditioners. I heard that he can have seven or eight thousand a month!" She had a good laugh about it.

Pei Naochun's expression turned pale, and he smiled reluctantly: "...That's not bad."

Pei Chuqing was behind her, grabbed her mother's hand and subconsciously tightened her grip. Her house was only two stories high. She had hired an air conditioner repairer before, so she went straight out of the window and had it repaired at the top. She was frightened and said that there are so many tall buildings now. ...but not even Dad said anything.

The second aunt said goodbye to the chat partner, and walked ahead to lead the way, while chatting with Pei Naochun: "The village chief was very happy last time, saying that the books you donated are very good."

"Is it finished? I'll bring it back when it's finished."

"There are so many junior high school students in our village." The second aunt was amused and giggled, as if she had heard a joke.

"...Where's Jinglin?"

"He read a lot. He graduated from junior high school. His parents took him to the city. Maybe he will find a school in the city."

"What about the two daughters of the Mazi family?"

"Which one do you pay tuition fees to? One goes to nursing school and the other goes to study medicine."
