After rebirth, I was bound to the academic system

He pretended to scold the child a few words.

The parents next to them were all trying to persuade them, and even the grandparents were saying, "Little kid, just say whatever you want, it's harmless." They also praised the child for being smart and knowing what is good.

"My parents and the others were jokingly saying: It's impossible to adopt you as sons because they're afraid your dad will beat you up. But if you have time, you can come to your uncle's house for dinner. Your uncle will open the door and welcome you. Besides, it's just a matter of a few meals. Your uncle is so happy that you can come!"

"As they spoke, my parents magically took out a few red envelopes from their pockets and distributed them to the children at the table."

"Depend on"

"We were all stunned by the miraculous operation of my parents."

How else could it be like this?

Speaking of which, isn't this a really big gap?

The question is when was this red envelope prepared?

The main thing is, how come the timing of sending the red envelope is so accurate? It's just right, this topic is not awkward at all, it's just a natural thing.

"Cattle"

“Really awesome”

"Everyone at the table looked like my parents. They both gave me a thumbs up. They were full of admiration."

"This kind of amazing operation is really eye-catching and makes you look great."

"Where does that put the other people at the table?"

"This couple has no moral principles"

"This made all the adults at the table feel awkward. What should they do? They didn't prepare red envelopes?"

“Seeing this scene, grandpa came out to speak.”

"Okay, let's eat quickly, or it will get cold. Your eldest brother has money, so ask him to give you more."

One sentence resolved the awkwardness and the atmosphere became lively again.

That's right, isn't the richest person now the eldest brother? Who else is richer than their family? As for the eldest brother's extravagant spending, maybe he will be punished by the eldest sister-in-law behind his back.

But when I think that the people my brother-in-law is spending lavishly on are my family members, it feels really good. They like the wealth that can be seen between their fingernails, and that is the existence that can allow them to live a good life.

Besides, they actually know the brother-in-law. He just gave out red envelopes casually. It was just a token of his affection. How could he have any bad intentions? It was just that everyone's conditions were not very good before, so they didn't do these things. If it were in the city, it would be normal to give New Year's money to relatives' children during the Spring Festival. Why would it seem so rare and strange?

"Alas, it's all because of poverty."

While I am happy, I also feel a little sad.

"But when I think about having such a rich brother-in-law, who might be able to help them in the future, I feel happy."

"At the dinner table, the adults were chatting and laughing, and they even ordered Maotai liquor. After a few sips of the liquor, some of them started bragging. Listening to their boasting and dirty jokes, and even driving on the elevated road, you can tell how badly these people can drink. They get drunk after just one glass."

"The children's table was more substantial. They drank beverages and finished the food on the table one by one. They made sure not to leave any space in their stomachs, as that would be disrespectful to the food. Especially for these little ones, after receiving the red envelopes, they all looked at the amount of money inside and were in a good mood. Their appetites were greatly opened. When there were more people, they rushed to eat, and the food tasted even better."

"After eating and drinking, everyone burped, which showed how enthusiastic everyone was about the meal. And looking at the empty plates on the two tables, we can see how powerful the food is."

"But what makes the cook even happier is that the food he made is eaten up by everyone, leaving no leftovers."

“This is the best tribute to the chef and the best gift.”

"Help the drunk people sit on the sofa and let them sober up by themselves, so as to avoid falling down on the stools."

"The rest of us, you help me, I help you, and we quickly cleared the table, the dishes, and the kitchen."

"As the meal passed, more and more people came into the room."

"In rural areas, farmers are actually busy all year round. On New Year's Eve, the whole family is busy from morning till night, preparing food for the New Year and poultry. The easiest time is from the first to the third day of the New Year in Dalian, when people can finally stop and rest. More people start working in the fields on the fourth day."

In spring, some families planted potatoes in winter, but some families, who had not yet planted potatoes, were busy working in the fields just after the third day of the Chinese New Year, fearing that it would be too late and they would miss the best time to plant. After all, what to plant in which season? There are rules for that.

"In our area, most of the land is mountainous and forested. The terraced land is not very fertile and the soil is relatively thin, so we have to rely on the weather for our livelihood. Not to mention greenhouses, which are things that only city dwellers have and have nothing to do with the poor people in the countryside.

In what country have new varieties of corn been developed? Or rice? Or other vegetable seeds? Grain seeds? Fertilizer? "In our place, none of this has anything to do with it. All seeds are old varieties from home. In short, they are all kept by ourselves. Many new crops will not be able to flow to us until many years later. To put it bluntly, what government welfare do we have to do with ordinary people like us?"

"Poverty subsidies? Not to mention these. Once the people above have distributed the money, you won't be able to hear any information at all, not to mention the many instructions sent down by the country. For ordinary people like us, those are all closed and classified documents. How can we be qualified to listen? The information we can receive and know is all filtered out by others."

"In life, besides being born into a good family, it is also important to have a good leader in the place where you were born, who cares about the people and can lead the farmers under his jurisdiction to live a well-off life, with water, electricity, and well-decorated houses. They can all have enough food and clothing, their children can go to school, and their elderly can have someone to rely on."

"But if you meet a leader with a bad conscience, you can only consider yourself unlucky. After all, they have power and connections, but what do you have? Are you going to be poor all your life because of your pride? Or is it because of your shallow culture and limited knowledge?"

"Unfortunately, we are not so lucky to meet such a caring official. In the impression of the people around us, everyone wants to fill their stomachs and never think of relying on the government, because everyone knows that the government has never been relied upon by farmers. Where is the government when there is drought or flood? Where is the government when poverty relief is needed?"

"In my impression, the government is cannibalistic. It has not given us farmers any help, especially in this era, when family planning is particularly strict. But we are a place where we are very fertile. Every family wants a son, so they give birth to one son after another. They are a little biased towards boys, but the only thing they won't throw away is girls. Of course, sons are important, but girls will also be raised. This has led to a vicious cycle where the more children they give birth to, the poorer they are, and the poorer they are, the more they want to give birth. This is a fatal blow to farmers, as they can't get enough to eat or wear."

"Many people secretly give birth to children to avoid family planning. But in this era, as long as your family has a new daughter-in-law or there is news of pregnancy, the family planning people will come to your house. When I was a child, I saw the family planning people, led by the village head and the brigade secretary, carrying hammers and hoes to smash the houses of those who had more than one child, and snatched away the pigs and sheep raised by other families. Even if they encountered a woman who was about to give birth in a month or two, she would be taken away to have an abortion. There was no mercy at all."

"Everyone says they understand the government, but who has considered us farmers? We have low education and little experience. All we hope for every day is that God will be kind and give us a good harvest this season. That's enough."

"But who doesn't want to live in a good house? Who doesn't want to eat well and wear good clothes? Since you are the parent official, you have the responsibility to help farmers live a better life. Everyone's extravagant demands are not high, just enough to have enough food, warm clothes and a good house.

"But in the eyes of most people, this request is like asking for their lives. What does the life and death of ordinary people have to do with them? Why should they care about what they eat, drink, and live in? Let them fend for themselves. It is best not to cause trouble for them. This is the current situation."

"What is this honest official?"

"hehe"

"Here, the village chief is a local tyrant. He won't do anything to help the farmers, but he will always be at the forefront of anything that can make money."

"But fortunately, our place is poor enough. Everyone knows what kind of character this person is. No one asks for anything. Even if there are good things handed down, who would know about it? Anyway, it won't reach us. Playing deaf and dumb is also a skill that farmers have to practice."

"Fortunately, his conscience is not dark enough and he has not done all the bad things. But this is only for people like us. People always bully the weak and fear the strong. The poorer you are, the more he will bully you. The weaker you are, the more he will bully you."

"Officials have two mouths"

"What impressed me most was that after the village chief stepped down, his son went to work in another province because he was not doing well in school. Many people were secretly preparing to take revenge on his son, but in the end, I don't know what happened. The village chief followed closely and stayed with his son, fearing that something might happen."

This is because he has done so many bad things and is afraid of retribution and revenge from others. When he did his best, he offended too many people. Now that he has stepped down, how many people are waiting for revenge.

“It’s just that I didn’t pay much attention to it afterwards, not to mention that I didn’t have to deal with their family, so I don’t know what the result was?

"What do you mean by justice?"

"What do you mean it's not the time to report it?"

"Don't take too long to take revenge. It's best to take revenge right then and there, or sooner or later. Don't leave it until tomorrow."

"Sometimes you bear humiliation and bear heavy burdens. If you take a step back, you will have a broader horizon. If you take a step forward, your breasts will be unobstructed, okay?"

"After going through so much, I finally understood one truth: in a society where people eat each other, never feel lucky. You never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident."
