Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

"Talented!"

Zhang Xiuhua yelled, startling the children who were playing. Fearing that they would get angry, they all lowered their presence and climbed off the kang. Those who didn't want to get off the kang squatted down obediently to avoid being discovered by her.

Youcai was still in a daze, "What's the matter? Aunt Zhang?"

Zhang Xiuhua shook the homework book in her hand, "Where is your homework from yesterday?"

Just now when she went to the educated youth's room, she found out that Baolin and Jidong had handed in their homework, but Youcai had returned to his old ways and had not finished his homework.

Youcai felt a little guilty and said weakly, "There are too many homework assignments. My hands are so tired."

Primary school Chinese homework mainly consists of copying, especially new characters, which need to be copied at least dozens of times before he can remember them.

Youcai had an unhappy time at his uncle's house before. After coming back, he started writing obediently, but human laziness cannot be changed in a day or two.

He really doesn't like studying. He thinks he is pretty good for being able to stick with it for so long.

Zhang Xiuhua took a deep breath and said, "Fill it up to me right now!"

Seeing that she was angry, Youcai had no choice but to take the notebook and sit down to write obediently.

"If you don't finish it today, you won't get any of the iron pot stewed goose I'll make tonight."

There is food hanging in front of you, and those with talent can only hold the pen and write hard.

After giving the instructions, Zhang Xiuhua went to the educated youth's room.

She had a headache. "This child is not easy to teach. How do you think I should teach him to change his bad habit of not liking to study?"

Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying looked at each other. If it was her biological mother, it would be very simple, just go up and beat her up. At this time, the educational method still believed in the old way: no beating, no success.

But Zhang Xiuhua is different, she is not the biological mother. If she beats Youcai, her reputation will be ruined, but she can't just ignore the child.

"In order to encourage him, I would take him to a state-owned restaurant for a big meal if he scored in the top three. But it doesn't seem to work."

Zhou Pandi got to the point directly, "Because with his grades, it is impossible for him to be in the top three. Your promise is just an empty promise."

Zhang Xiuhua corrected her mistakes immediately. "Then can I change to a point system? As long as he does his homework well, I will give him one point. When he gets 100 points, I will take him to a state-owned restaurant for a big meal. He has always wanted to be a chef."

Before Zhou Pandi could speak, Li Xiaoying gave her a thumbs up and said, "You are such a dedicated stepmother."

Zhang Xiuhua scratched her head in embarrassment and looked at Zhou Pandi. She also nodded, "It's feasible."

During dinner, Zhang Xiuhua looked through the homework Youcai handed in, and after making sure that he had finished it, she announced the good news at the dinner table.

Of course, this audience is not limited to Youcai, but also Baolin and Jidong.

The three children's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Yes!" Zhang Xiuhua took out a notebook, "I'll give you a scorebook for your teachers. If you do your homework, they will add one point to the attendance book. If you don't, they will deduct one point. When you get 100 points, I will take you to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. You can order whatever you want. I mean what I say. By the way, the first place in the midterm exam will be awarded 50 points, the second place will be 40 points, the third place will be 30 points, the fourth place will be 20 points, and the fifth place will be 10 points. The final exam score will be doubled."

Youcai wanted to do some calculations, but he was bad at math, so he asked, "If I do my homework every day, when can I go to the state-owned restaurant?"

"You have two classes now, and you have homework every day, so that's fifty days. You can go once in less than two months."

When Youcai heard this, he was even happier. "Great! I will definitely do my homework well."

In the next few days, Youcai completed her homework well, without Zhang Xiuhua's supervision. Jidong never needed her supervision. As for Baolin, she was lively and playful before, but she also wanted to eat meat, so she would take the initiative to do her homework without her reminder.

The scorebook serves as a rule for the family.

The family affairs were settled, but there was a commotion in the village.

Why? It was because of the popcorn stick.

It snowed a few days ago, so the team leader asked a few villagers to deliver goods. They were given work points for each delivery.

In the icy and snowy weather, 130 kilograms is not a small amount of money. Several villagers pulled their carts and moved forward with difficulty. On the way, they talked about rice flower sticks.

Upon learning that it was the two educated youth who helped with the sales, the team leader promised to give them jobs as scorekeepers in order to reward them.

Zhang Xiuhua had been given the job of scorekeeper, and everyone knew about it. The villagers were not particularly dissatisfied.

Because Zhang Xiuhua had married into Lijiatun, she was a Lijiatun person. And she helped buy the tractor, which was a great achievement and she deserved this job.

But Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying were educated youth and outsiders. The villagers were not convinced that they could get such a good job just by helping to sell dozens of kilograms of rice popsicles.

After I came back, the news spread.

So the villagers who were jealous of the scorer's job went to the team leader's house and asked him to select people from the village.

The team leader naturally couldn't go back on his word, so after a discussion among the team cadres, a reward was formulated. If anyone could help expand sales, as long as he produced more than 50 kilograms a day, he would be assigned an easy job worth 10 work points.

As soon as this was said, the villagers immediately backed off. It wasn't that they didn't want to sell the products, but it was too cold and the snow was too thick.

Since we had already sold our products at the supply and marketing cooperative in Wuxing Commune, we had to go to other communes to sell our products. The journey was extremely long, and we had to take a bus at least.

Bus tickets are not cheap these days. If you don't earn any work points, but have to pay for the ride, who would be willing to do this?

The brigade accountant and the brigade leader looked at each other, and both showed satisfaction.

They originally thought that their plan had dispelled the villagers' thoughts, but they didn't expect that there were people who were really stubborn and wanted to give it a try.

When Zhang Xiuhua learned about this, Xu Chunying came to find Zhang Xiuhua.

Zhang Xiuhua hadn't made shoe soles for many years, so she was a little rusty, so she asked Xu Chunying to make a pair of cotton shoes for each of the children. Of course, she didn't ask Xu Chunying to help for nothing, so she gave the extra fabric and cotton to Xu Chunying.

After Xu Chunying finished making the shoes, she sent them over when the snow stopped.

Zhang Xiuhua naturally couldn't let her just put down her shoes and leave, so she invited her into the house.

After Xu Chunying came in, she found that the kang was being heated in the room. She felt disgusted that Xu Chunying was heating the kang in broad daylight and that she had too much money to spend.

It was not until she saw the children doing their homework on the kang that she suppressed her complaints.

Zhang Xiuhua poured her a cup of hot water.

Xu Chunying drank half a bowl and then started talking about sales.

"Who is it? Why are you going out to sell products in such a cold day?" Even though Zhang Xiuhua had rubber shoes, she didn't dare to go out.

"Jianxin. He is the brother of my man and your man. Although they are of the same generation, he is a few years younger. He is just a lazy guy. He is obviously a grown man, but he always gets 7 work points and does the same work as us women."

After Xu Chunying's introduction, Zhang Xiuhua understood. Li Jianxin was Li Jiandang's cousin within the fifth degree of mourning. They were very close. He was already 28 years old this year. It was said that his mother had forced him to be single in order to force him to succeed. You have to know that in these days, only married people were separated to live alone, and there was no such thing as separating an unmarried son.

"Have you become successful?" Zhang Xiuhua didn't know Li Jianxin, so she asked this question.

Xu Chunying slapped her thigh with a look of disgust, "What kind of talent has he become? His mother forced him to marry a wife, but he was afraid of supporting her and having children, and she would steal his food, so he lives alone in the old house, having a carefree life!"

This is really a genius. Zhang Xiuhua felt that this person's mentality was a bit like that of people thirty years later, who were not swayed by the world and always faced their own needs squarely.

Such people might really be willing to walk through the snow to sell their products just for the easy job of ten work points.

"Did it work?" Zhang Xiuhua was a little curious.

Xu Chunying clapped her hands in amazement, "He actually succeeded. I used to think he was full of crooked ideas, but I didn't expect that he was so good at talking that he actually persuaded the supply and marketing cooperative to buy 80 kilograms of rice popcorn sticks. The whole village was shocked. Only you locked yourself up at home and didn't know about this."

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "Maybe his talent is eloquence."

"Who says it's not true? His parents are showing off in the village. In the past, the villagers made fun of their third son, but now his son has finally turned over a new leaf, so he must be publicized in the village." Xu Chunying curled her lips. It was obvious that she didn't have a good impression of this cousin from the next room.

Zhang Xiuhua doesn't think so. "Showing off is secondary. The main purpose is for my son's marriage."

Xu Lianying slapped her thigh, "That's right. You guessed it right!"
