Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

At the end of the year, Zhang Minghui and Cheng Siyu were discussing moving. Zhang Minghui had always wanted to move, but because the turmoil had not yet ended, he was afraid of being too conspicuous.

That's why we didn't move.

This time, Cheng Lide and his wife were also released. They just happened to move to a second courtyard, and then the family could live happily together.

Zhang Minghui and Cheng Siyu brought several children to Cheng Lide's house and saw the two drinking tea in the living room and talking in low voices from time to time.

Seeing Zhang Minghui and his wife coming, they stood up happily, went forward and hugged the little ones, and were very affectionate.

Cheng Siyu taught the little ones to be very sweet-talkers.

He kept calling "Grandpa, grandma".

After hearing this, the wrinkles on the faces of the two old people were smoothed out. They kept pulling the children and said happily, "The eldest grandson is so well-behaved."

Yang Huixian seemed to have thought of something. She turned and went into the house, took out some candies from the cupboard and prepared to share them with the little ones.

When the children saw the candies Yang Huixian brought out, their eyes sparkled with excitement. Yang Huixian wanted to give some candies to her grandchildren, but the children refused one by one.

They turned and looked at Cheng Siyu with pleading expressions on their faces.

Cheng Lide and Yang Huixian looked at each other with satisfaction in their eyes. A child this young could withstand temptation, which was not something that ordinary children could do.

As teachers, they certainly know that if children are well educated from a young age and have a solid foundation, many things will be easier and they will grow up quickly.

Sometimes, children’s unintentional behavior can reveal the level of education they have received at home.

Cheng Siyu smiled sweetly and spoke happily.

"Okay, you guys don't need to look at me anymore. Your grandparents gave it to you today, so each of you can get two pieces, and I'll keep the rest for you."

The Zhang family’s education is a kind father and a strict mother.

Zhang Minghui could still discuss it, but Cheng Siyu was the one who had the final say. The children were very afraid of Cheng Siyu.

The most important thing is that if you don’t listen, your butt will hurt.

Following Zhang Jingyi's cheer, several children came to their grandmother, chattering and shouting loudly.

"Grandma, give me a big piece. I want red candy."

The room suddenly became very lively, and the shouting of several children made Zhang Minghui, who was standing by, feel helpless. This kind of situation sometimes occurs when there are too many children.

Surrounding you, they can shout at you until you feel dizzy and leave you with no peace for a moment.

Fortunately, the children have grown up, and the eldest and second oldest are taking care of their younger brothers and sisters, so Zhang Minghui and his wife don't have to worry too much.

After the children received their candies, Zhang Minghui asked the eldest child, Zhang Jingyi, to take his younger brothers and sisters to play in the yard.

Wait until the kids are out playing.

Zhang Minghui and his wife sat down and talked with the two elderly people. The main purpose of this visit was to persuade the two elderly people to move out with them.

Then the whole family will be taken care of.

"Dad, Mom. Siyu and I have already discussed it. Now that you two are back, you should take care of yourself and enjoy your retirement life. You two have been in the countryside for ten years, and you two are exhausted."

"Siyu and I are planning to move to a private courtyard with two entrances. You two can move in with us. We will take care of your retirement life in the future."

Hearing Zhang Minghui's words, Cheng Lide and his wife smiled with satisfaction.

It seems that the two had good vision back then and found a good match for their youngest daughter. The two old people are satisfied with this and they are right in judging people.

Yang Huixian smiled but said nothing, but Cheng Lide smiled and spoke.

"Minghui, I appreciate your kindness, but we can't move. It's not like we can't move. We can still go to work, so how can we retire so early?"

When Cheng Siyu heard this, she became anxious and stood up hurriedly.

"Mom and Dad, you are so old now. How can you still continue to work? I strongly disagree with this."

"You two have been in labor reform in the countryside for so many years. After you are released, you should enjoy your old age."

"Stop minding your school. Let someone else teach!"

Zhang Minghui also spoke up.

"Yes! Siyu is right. Mom and Dad, just listen to me on this matter! Our family is not short of money, so you two don't have to go out to work to earn money anymore."

Cheng Lide and his wife were happy to see their daughter and son-in-law's persuasion, but they were determined and would not easily change their minds.

Cheng Lide said with a smile.

"Minghui, you have misunderstood this. The state has already paid us ten years' wages in arrears, which is a huge sum of money. We have no shortage of money."

"There are just two points I want to tell you."

"First, teaching is a hobby of your mother and I. We like to stand on the stage and explain knowledge to the students below. It is our lifelong wish to cultivate outstanding talents for the country."

"Secondly, Minghui, you have to know that the country needs us right now. The turmoil in recent years has caused many excellent teachers to pass away."

"The education sector is short of experienced teachers. Your mother and I can't just sit there and watch. We have to contribute our own strength and stand firm in our posts."

Zhang Minghui felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. He didn't expect the two elders to speak so righteously. You know, they had just been released and suffered persecution.

I have been farming in the countryside for nearly ten years.

If he were in their shoes, he would never help anyone because they owed him. He didn't understand Cheng Lide's behavior.

If you don’t understand, ask!

Zhang Minghui's expression changed and he spoke seriously.

"Mom and Dad, you have to know that after this movement, many people have changed their minds. They don't want to contribute anything to this country anymore."

"You still want to devote your remaining energy to education."

"I can't quite figure it out."

When Cheng Lide and Yang Huixian heard Zhang Minghui's question, they both showed bright smiles on their faces. This smile at this moment made Zhang Minghui feel that they had already let it go.

Before Cheng Lide could speak, Yang Huixian's gentle voice rang out in the room.

"Minghui, you are right. This turmoil has hurt many people. We couldn't understand it at first, but after staying in the countryside for a few years, we really figured it out."

"The farmers are really suffering. Some people's ideas are really dangerous and should be stopped, otherwise it will cause even greater chaos."

"Whether there is debate or not, it is all for the betterment of this country. As time goes by, everything in this will be verified naturally in the future."
