Chapter 225: What is the point of raising children
In order to impress his daughter, Shen Zhiping deliberately reached out and poked his daughter's fleshy arm with his nails.
"Wow..."
The little girl suddenly started crying when her father touched her arm.
Shen Zhiping was stunned for a moment.
"Mom, I want mom!"
The little girl was crying and looking for her mother.
Shen Zhiping tried to comfort his daughter, but it didn't work at all.
Even if I brought candy, I couldn't coax the crying little guy.
Helpless Shen Zhiping could only carry the little girl to find her mother.
When Liu Wanqing saw Shen Zhiping and her crying daughter at work, she was confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Dad is bad!"
"It hurts!"
"Mom, hit him!"
When the little girl met her mother, she immediately began to accuse Shen Zhiping of his crimes.
Liu Wanqing looked at Shen Zhiping in astonishment, wondering how things turned out to be what they were now. From her daughter's simple words, she couldn't figure out what was going on, so she could only look at Shen Zhiping.
Shen Zhiping told the story with a grimace.
Then, he was pinched several times by his wife, and he pretended to satisfy her request and punched Shen Zhiping several times.
When the little girl saw this scene, she burst into laughter.
In the end, Shen Zhiping could only go home alone.
After such an episode, he had to put a lot of effort into getting close to his little cotton-padded jacket.
If I had known this, why would I bother myself?
Turning around the courtyard, Shen Zhiping met Yan Bugui again.
When Yan Bugui saw Shen Zhiping, he immediately invited him to go fishing in a hurry. In the opinion of Comrade Lao Yan, Shen Zhiping has great luck in fishing. With Shen Zhiping, he can not only improve his family's life with a little bit of luck, but with better luck, he might even be able to exchange for some money.
Shen Zhiping was in a bad mood at the moment and didn't want to go fishing.
"Teacher Yan, I can't do it today!"
"I have other things to do, so I don't have time to go fishing!"
Shen Zhiping declined Yan Bugui's invitation.
When Yan Bugui heard this, his excitement suddenly cooled down.
"Then, okay!"
Yan Bugui suddenly lost his mood to go fishing, but he was the initiator of fishing. If he didn't go, wouldn't that directly prove that he had ulterior motives for asking Shen Zhiping to go fishing?
Forget it, go for it!
Yan Bugui could only take the fishing guy and go out on his bicycle.
Shen Zhiping returned to Dongkuayuan.
If you're not in a good mood, go to sleep!
Shen Zhiping slept until mid-afternoon. When he woke up, he felt full of blood and full of energy.
There was a fly in the ointment, and I broke out in a sweat.
After a quick shower, Shen Zhiping went out on his bicycle to pick up his wife and daughter home.
When he arrived at the Grain Bureau again and saw his wife and daughter, the little girl looked at Shen Zhiping again. Her previous dissatisfaction was gone and she happily called "Daddy".
"Daughter-in-law, how did you convince our daughter?"
Shen Zhiping was very curious.
Liu Wanqing gave him a gentle punch and said, "Are you stupid?"
"My daughter is still so young, she can't remember many things at all!"
"Uh..."
Shen Zhiping was stunned on the spot.
Well, he was stupid.
However, even after two lifetimes, he was still a father for the first time and had no experience at all.
The family of three happily walked around the courtyard, and on the way they met Yan Bugui who was returning from fishing. However, Comrade Lao Yan's luck seems to be really not very good. Although he is not in the air force, he only has a few small fish, which is really hard to get rid of.
Shen Zhiping and Yan Bugui chatted and returned to the courtyard together.
After entering the courtyard, everyone went back to their homes.
Shen Zhiping went to the kitchen to cook, while Liu Wanqing took her daughter to see the chickens Shen Zhiping had caught.
The little girl saw the little chicken and once again shouted to play.
This time, Liu Wanqing satisfied her, but she couldn't get started.
The chicks are still very small.
Although my daughter is also small, her little hands are very strong. If she is not careful, the little chick may be crushed to death by the little girl.
Shen Zhiping was busy in the kitchen for a while, and took a moment to look at the door. He was relieved to see his wife and daughter having fun.
Sure enough, my wife was right, my daughter's memory is not very good.
This is really a good thing.
He didn't want his daughter to still remember that he lied to her when she was a child, and to prove that his lie was true, he gave it to her.
After dinner, my daughter went to bed early as usual.
Shen Zhiping and Liu Wanqing were preparing to do something they loved, but they never thought that there would be another commotion outside, which was very noisy and annoying.
"You rest first, I'll go out and take a look!"
Shen Zhiping spoke softly and stepped out.
Before he could walk out, there was a loud knock on the door of the east courtyard.
"Who?"
Shen Zhiping asked angrily.
"Engineer Shen, it's me, Silly Zhu!"
Silly Zhu's voice sounded outside the door, "Come on, the master in the backyard is fighting with Liu Guangqi!"
After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Shen Zhiping was stunned.
Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi started fighting?
What kind of international joke is this?
Liu Guangqi is the eldest son and grandson of the old Liu family, and his position is the first. Liu Haizhong treated his two younger sons without mercy, but for his eldest son, he was generous.
Not to mention, after Shen Zhiping arrived, he gave Liu Haizhong a special mention.
"Coming!"
Shen Zhiping opened the door of the east cross courtyard and saw Sha Zhu looking at him eagerly.
"Engineer Shen, let's get there quickly!"
"You don't know, this is the first time I've seen a master like this in all the years I've been living in the courtyard!"
After listening to Silly Zhu's words, Shen Zhiping remained silent and thought to himself, is this your first time meeting? In my two lifetimes, this is the first time I’ve seen it!
The two hurried to the backyard of the courtyard.
On the way, many people were walking to the backyard, chatting while walking, and they were all curious about what happened that could make Liu Haizhong fight Liu Guangqi.
When Shen Zhiping and Shazhu arrived in the backyard, they saw that Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi had been pulled apart. However, Liu Haizhong was still angry, accusing Liu Guangqi of all kinds.
Shen Zhiping understood the whole story after just listening to a few words.
The crux of the problem still lies in the fact that Liu Guangqi is leaving the courtyard.
Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi had a frank conversation, but unfortunately, the father and son could not reach a consensus after all.
After Liu Guangqi knew that his plot was discovered, he no longer hid it.
He directly expressed his views on Liu Haizhong. All kinds of accusations and dissatisfaction finally angered Liu Haizhong.
At first, Liu Guangqi did not resist Liu Haizhong's outburst, but he didn't know what Liu Haizhong said that angered Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangqi no longer took the beating honestly, but fought back and fought with Liu Haizhong.
If there is a dispute like this in the courtyard, the stewards should be the ones to mediate.
But unfortunately, there is only one steward left in No. 95 Courtyard, and that is Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong is another party to this dispute.
How to mediate this matter has become a problem.
The reason why Sha Zhu went to find Shen Zhiping was because he thought Shen Zhiping could come over and take charge of the overall situation. In this courtyard, who has the highest prestige, it must be Shen Zhiping.
Engineer from the technical department!
It has helped countless people in the steel rolling mill improve their skills.
"Master Liu, what you did was so reckless!"
Shen Zhiping walked up to Liu Haizhong and sighed.
He knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking, so when Liu Haizhong found him, he gave him some advice and told him specifically not to get angry and to control his temper.
It's good now, a good heart-to-heart talk between father and son turned into a violent fight between father and son. "Xiao Shen, you have no idea what that little brat said!"
When Liu Haizhong heard Shen Zhiping's words, he became angry again.
"I have worked so hard to raise them, but that little brat doesn't care about me at all. Instead, he says that I am not good at all, and that is wrong!"
"What else does that little brat say? If possible, I would rather not have a father like me!"
"I would rather not have such a son!"
The more Liu Haizhong talked, the angrier he became. Looking at Liu Guangqi being stopped by everyone, he wished he could turn back time and strangle to death the eldest son who was once his eyeball.
"If I had a choice, I would never be your son!"
When Liu Guangqi heard what Liu Haizhong said to Shen Zhiping, he was not willing to be outdone and roared angrily.
"Guangqi, please stop saying a few words!"
Silly Zhu stopped Liu Guangqi and spoke to comfort him.
Shen Zhiping looked at the father and son who were facing each other, their heads as big as buckets.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
To be honest, he was the last person willing to get involved in this kind of thing.
They are father and son, biological father and biological son. This relationship is closer than that between a husband and a wife. In such a dispute, no matter who speaks for him, when the father and son reconcile in the future, the third party who is the peacemaker will always be resented.
"Master Liu, you don't want to say that!"
"Brother Guangqi is still young and can't understand your thoughts. You have to break up with him and crush him to pieces. Speak slowly instead of being so vindictive!"
"Brother Guangqi, I have to say something to you too!"
After Shen Zhiping finished speaking to Liu Haizhong, he looked at Liu Guangqi again, "You are Master Liu's son. I think you know better than me what kind of temper Master Liu has!"
"You know Master Liu has a bad temper, so you should be careful when speaking!"
"What's wrong? Do you still think you are righteous?"
Although Shen Zhiping sympathized with the three sons of the Liu family, Liu Guangqi's approach was really inappropriate.
"Engineer Shen, you don't understand our family's situation at all!"
Liu Guangqi scratched his head and began to accuse Liu Haizhong of being domineering and unreasonable.
Shen Zhiping listened quietly, and everyone in the courtyard also listened quietly.
Most of the residents in the courtyard know about the Liu family.
But, no one knows some details.
Now that Liu Guangqi had spoken out everything, everyone's expressions looked a bit unhappy.
As for Shen Zhiping, he had watched the plot of the Siheyuan before and knew a little bit about the inside story that others didn't know. Now when he heard Liu Guangqi's accusation, he didn't know what to say.
But, the situation Liu Guangqi mentioned is not unique to the Liu family.
For example, scrambled eggs at home are mainly for the head of the family.
When conditions are not well-off, when a family raises a family and supports a home, nutrition must be sufficient. Only in this way can the family's life be ensured from completely collapsing one day.
In the plot, Jia Dongxu had an accident at work, but the specific reason was not stated. But one theory is that because Qin Huairu has a rural household registration, there is no grain book and no ration, and her children do not have rations. If the Jia family wants to feed the family, they have to spend more money on high-priced grain.
The result was that Jia Dongxu didn't have enough nutrition, so he was depressed at work and eventually had an accident.
Liu Guangqi accused Liu Haizhong of being a solitary eater and not worthy of being a father. This is a bit nonsense.
To put it bluntly, you can use this to accuse Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi of being a white-eyed wolf.
People who have never experienced hardship will not understand how devastating it would be if the backbone of a family collapses.
Of course, the Liu family's situation is not that serious.
As a seventh-level blacksmith, Liu Haizhong's salary is not low.
It's not a big deal to let my son eat something good with me.
But this is a family matter, and outsiders are not qualified to speak about it.
Liu Guangqi became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, but he didn't realize that the people around him were looking at him more and more wrong.
This is really a white-eyed wave!
Many of the things Liu Guangqi accused are normal for many people in this era.
"How can a selfish person like him be worthy of being a father?"
After Liu Guangqi finished speaking, he did not forget to conclude his speech by saying that Liu Haizhong was not worthy of being a father.
Listening to his eldest son's accusation, Liu Haizhong did not refute or continue to get angry. Instead, he became much more decadent, as if he suddenly lost his energy.
"Master Liu, I'm sorry, I made a mistake in this matter!"
Shen Zhiping glanced at Liu Haizhong apologetically.
Shen Zhiping said nothing more.
How to resolve the relationship with Liu Guangqi is not something that an outsider is qualified to suggest.
"Sorry everyone!"
"It's my bangs that don't know how to teach my son, and I'm causing trouble for everyone!"
"It's all gone!"
Liu Zhong slowly raised his head and spoke calmly.
Right now, he felt as if nothing could be more tragic than death.
"Old Liu, be more open-minded!"
"Look at me, I'm just thinking about it now!"
Before Yan Bugui left, he did not forget to comfort Liu Haizhong. After all, he had just experienced a farce with his son not long ago.
Liu Haizhong smiled reluctantly at Yan Bugui.
Want to be more open-minded?
If he didn't want to drive a little, what else could he do?
Of the three sons, he was the most doting on his eldest son. He was reluctant to beat or scold him, and he had no shortage of food and clothing.
As a result, the son turned out to be a Holy Mother.
Various accusations were made against him on the grounds that he was too harsh on his two younger brothers.
Although Liu Haizhong's salary is high, tickets are scarce.
He also wants to give his three sons the same treatment, but is it possible?
In this day and age, in which family does the eldest child’s clothes pass to the second child, and the second child wears the third child’s clothes?
As the saying goes, three years of new life lead to three years of old life, and another three years of mending.
It's a pity that everything he did was so unbearable in the eyes of his eldest son.
"Liu Guangqi, aren't you going to the southwest to support construction?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Liu Haizhong no longer wants his son to stay in the capital.
There is no use keeping such a son who hates him in his heart. When he gets old in the future, there is no hope that he can take care of him.
People, you still have to rely on yourself!
Raising children for old age?
It can't be defended, not at all!
After this blow, Liu Haizhong's attitude towards his two younger sons changed slightly, but mostly indifferent.
The eldest son who was favored and loved in every way felt that he was not worthy of being a father. The two sons who were often beaten and scolded by him probably despised him even more.
But after all, they were his sons. After he gave birth to them, he had the responsibility to raise them.
But, that’s all!
……
Everyone in the courtyard dispersed, and Shen Zhiping also returned to the east cross courtyard.
Liu Wanqing did not fall asleep. She had been waiting for Shen Zhiping to come back.
When Liu Wanqing saw Shen Zhiping coming back with a solemn expression, he guessed that something was a little unusual.
Shen Zhiping directly told Liu Wanqing the ins and outs of the matter, and after a while he said quietly: "Tell me, what do people want in this life?"
What do people want to do in this life?
After a lifetime of hard work and raising children, the children may not be grateful, and there may even be many white-eyed wolves like Liu Guangqi!
"You're stupid again!"
Liu Wanqing hugged Shen Zhiping's arm, "There are unfilial children every year, but there are more filial and sensible children!"
"Master Liu's situation can only be said to be a problem with education!"
Shen Zhiping remained silent.
Liu Wanqing gave Shen Zhiping another blow. This time it was so hard that Shen Zhiping gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain.
"Daughter-in-law, please be gentler!"
Shen Zhiping looked at Liu Wanqing with tears in his eyes.
Liu Wanqing glared at him and said, "You asked for it!"
Shen Zhiping also rolled his eyes and said, "Why did I ask for it?"
"What I just said, your attitude is wrong, so you deserve to be pinched!"
Liu Wanqing's hand fell on Shen Zhiping's waist again.
Shen Zhiping grabbed her hand instantly and hurriedly said, "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong!"
