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

When Zhang Xiuhua returned home, she told Li Jianguo about Zhuzhu's breakup with her boyfriend.

Li Jianguo was not surprised at all after hearing this, "I always feel that Zhuzhu's future relationship journey will not be so smooth."

"Why?" Zhang Xiuhua felt that Zhuzhu had a cheerful personality and many boys liked her, so she would have no problem finding a date. "You haven't seen the letters her fans wrote to her, they were really cheesy. I read them a few times and got goose bumps. Our Zhuzhu has no shortage of boys who like her."

"There is definitely no problem with dating. But getting married is not that simple. Our Zhuzhu can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She has never been wronged since she was a child. If she is not satisfied with the relationship, she will break up immediately. Even if she is married, if the other party is not as good as her, she will divorce immediately. This child is always straightforward." Li Jianguo said honestly, there is no couple without quarrels. Just like when he and Xiuhua disagreed, as long as both sides were reasonable and convinced each other, it would be fine.

But Zhuzhu is different. She thinks that her comfort is the most important thing. If someone makes her unhappy, she will not think about defeating the other person, she will just choose to stay away. This personality has its advantages, and she is decisive in doing things. If she meets a scumbag, she will kick him decisively and will not waste her energy. But if she meets someone who is really suitable for her, she will not give the other person a chance to reconcile. She is very passive.

Zhang Xiuhua rubbed her brows and asked, "Is this good or bad?"

"It's hard to say." Li Jianguo felt that Zhuzhu was still young and immature, and was not suitable for dating. Even if she did, she would still have to get points!

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Don't worry. Let's talk about it later."

**

In July, on the day the results of the college entrance examination came out, both of Li Jianxin's sons were admitted to universities. Although the universities they were admitted to were not particularly good, they were still considered undergraduates.

Li Jianxin went to the south in April and was very tired after two months. When he came back and learned that his son had been admitted to university, he was extremely happy and bought firecrackers immediately. Soon the whole village knew the good news and surrounded him to congratulate him.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jianxin whether he wanted to hold graduation banquets for his two sons.

Li Jianxin was in a bit of a dilemma because he had to go out and earn money again.

Li Jianguo sighed, "In recent years, the village hasn't held a graduation banquet for a long time. Maybe the students' grades in recent years are not very good."

Many children did not even make it to regular high school and simply dropped out to work. There are fewer and fewer young people in the village.

Li Jianxin thought about it and decided to give it a try, and use the money to pay for his children's tuition.

He complained to Li Jianguo, "It's really expensive to go to college now. It used to be only 200 per semester, but now it's more than . Living expenses are not included. It has increased fivefold in just a few years. Tuition was free before, but our children were unlucky and didn't catch up with the good times."

The tuition for his two children alone was more than 4000 yuan a year, and even if he sold all the grain from his land, it would not be enough.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "In the past, it was all state-subsidized. Now it's different. With reform and opening up, there are many places that need talent. People see the benefits and are willing to send their children to college."

Li Jianxin became more and more worried. "I have to buy a house for my children and let them settle down in a big city. There are no suitable jobs for them in our countryside."

His two children are both studying computer science, and they heard that this major is very popular. They will have no problem finding a job in the future.

Li Jianguo was a little surprised to hear that he was thinking about the child, "Didn't you say before that you didn't want to work hard for the child?"

Li Jianxin smiled bitterly, "I have given birth to them. If they live worse than me, then why did I give birth to them? To make them suffer?"

Those people in the village who always talk about their children don’t love their children as much as Jianxin.

"Now that I'm a father, I have to take responsibility." Li Jianxin finally held the banquet.

Everyone in the village envied Li Jianxin's two children for being admitted to university. They knew they would definitely have a good future. In the future, the children would take him to the city to enjoy a good life, and his son would definitely be filial to him.

Li Jianxin waved his hands and said, "I don't care whether they are filial or not, as long as they don't hate me, I'm satisfied.

The villagers curled their lips when they heard what he said, "You support them in their education, how can they hate you?"

Li Jianxin doesn't think so. "Outside, everything is different. Their roles in the world are also different. I am just a farmer and I can't help them much. Will they hate being born into such a poor family?"

If Li Jianxin had said this in the past, the villagers would have just scolded him for talking nonsense, but it is different now.

Zhang Jinbao went out to work for half a year, and then married into the wife's family, and didn't even go home for the New Year. What about Xiaogou? His parents worked so hard to support him to become a college student, and they spent so much effort, but he just left and went abroad, even abandoning his parents! Is this what a human being would do? !

Rural people are kind-hearted and put themselves in others' shoes. They all think that Xiao Gou and Zhang Jinbao are good-for-nothings and feel disappointed for their parents.

At this time, Zhang's father and the puppy's father had drunk some wine and were a little drunk. They started to scold their son for being a good-for-nothing and not filial at all.

Li Jianguo went over to mediate the fight, but Li Jianxin simply asked them to leave. "I don't care whether your son is filial or not, but you can't throw a tantrum at my son's graduation banquet."

The villagers separated them and warned them, "If you cause trouble again in the future, don't come to the banquet."

They come here to make trouble on someone's wedding day. Isn't this just a slap in the face of the host? They made trouble once before when Li Xing's son got married. Now they are making trouble again! Is this endless? !

After sending the two away, the villagers began to discuss the matter. “Raising children now is risky. People with conscience will come back to visit their parents. People without conscience may blame others but not themselves.”

Li Xingjia feels that raising children is inherently risky. "You have to figure out why you raise children. I am not as great as Jianxin. I raise children for one purpose: to carry on my legacy."

He was admitted to Tsinghua University but failed to go to school, which led him to go to a big city. His son failed to get into university. He tried his best to send his son to live in a big city. As long as his son could do this, he would be satisfied.

Li Xingjia sneered, "As for whether he is filial or not? I never worry about it. My Tiedan has been a good and filial child since he was young. Although his grades are not good, my wife and I have taught him since he was young, and we have never treated him badly. We have never beaten or scolded him for no reason. How could he be unfilial?!"

He was also angry at Zhang's father and Xiaogou's father for making trouble at his son's wedding. "As for their son's unfilial behavior, I'm not surprised at all. Zhang Jinbao is needless to say. He sucked the blood of seven sisters. In our village, which parents dare to suck the blood of a girl so cruelly?! They thought they were taking advantage and doing good for their sons! In fact, they used practical actions to teach their sons to be rogues and take advantage. So they were deceived again and again. Xiaogou's unfilial behavior was also expected. Everyone knows how much Ergou hates his father. Ergou would rather throw money into the river than be filial to his father? Why? Because when he was a child, he would be beaten by his father for just a little mistake! Is Xiaogou happy? No! His situation is similar to Ergou! His father placed all his hopes on him. Obviously, he is not a very smart child, but he relied on hard work and practice to get into college. He forced the child to grow up. Strictly control everything about the child. Even his son's marriage was broken up. Is this a son? This clearly does not treat his son as a human being! If he doesn't treat him as a human being when he is a child, he will not be a human being when he grows up!"

Li Xingjia cursed, "They are still aggrieved and complaining? What right do they have?!"

The villagers listened in silence. Li Xingjia was a cultured man, and these peasants felt somewhat inferior in front of him.

After listening to his well-reasoned analysis of the situations of the two families, the villagers rarely showed any sympathy.

Li Jianguo told them not to be pessimistic, "There are still many filial children in this world, how many unfilial ones can we have?"

Everyone looked at Li Jianguo.

"Yes! Village chief, your children are all very filial and none of them disobey you. They are also promising."

Children with no future can only work outside and have difficulty supporting themselves, so don't expect them to support their parents.

Li Jianguo smiled and said, "It's not me who teaches well, it's Xiuhua. I used to work outside, you know that. Xiuhua takes care of the children at home."

The villagers felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Xiuhua, because they used to think that Xiuhua was a stepmother and must be mediocre to her children. Although she didn't have a bad reputation for beating and scolding her children, everyone put themselves in her shoes. How could they treat their children sincerely if they were not their own children? But when they saw Youcai, Yaoyao and Zhuzhu all got into college, they felt that there were still good stepmothers in the world. They just didn't meet them.

Zhang Xiuhua advised everyone, "The children are grown up, and as elders, we can give advice, but don't interfere too much. Let them go out and explore. It's not a bad thing to encounter setbacks sometimes, at least they have grown up. Education sometimes doesn't mean anything. Look at Ergou, he didn't even graduate from high school, but now he's still a big boss, with hundreds of people relying on him for food. After all, there are only a few children who have big dreams, and those who stay with you are not necessarily unfilial. We should treat them with a normal attitude."

The villagers seemed to have heard what he said, "Yeah. Let them go out and try their luck. We are limited in our abilities, and can only help so much."

"The child has grown up, it's time for him to take on responsibilities!"

After the graduation banquet, Li Jianxin began to think about making money. In mid-April, he and his elder brother Li Jianmin went to Shandong to collect grain. They collected grain until July, and now they have to go to the south again.

That is to say, he can only rest in July, and then from August to the end of October, he still has to be busy outside.

Li Jianguo was afraid that he would tire himself out, "If you are tired, take a break, don't make yourself sick."

Li Jianxin knew what was going on. "I'm fine! I'm in good spirits now."

He might not have time to come back, so before he left, he called his two sons over to let them learn to drive a combine harvester together.

His eldest brother is not good at talking, so he is the one who goes to negotiate business, so if the two sons go together, at least they can help.

Li Jianguo didn't understand, "They have to go to school in September, right?"

"Yes! I'll take them directly to school then!"

Li Jianxin's two sons were admitted to universities in the province. When they come back, they can just send them to school. They don't need to bring too much luggage. School starts on September 12th, and they will have military training after they go there. After the military training, it will be the National Day holiday. Then they can pack their luggage and take them over.
