The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 225 What is the purpose of raising children?
In order to leave a deep impression on his daughter, Shen Zhiping deliberately reached out and poked his daughter's chubby arm with his fingernails.

"Wow……"

The little girl was suddenly hit on the arm by her father and immediately started crying.

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 gave him candy, I couldn't appease the crying little one.

Helpless Shen Zhiping could only carry the little girl to find her mother.

When Liu Wanqing saw Shen Zhiping and his daughter who had cried her eyes out at work, she was very confused and didn't know what had happened.

"Dad is bad!"

"pain!"

"Mom, hit him!"

When the little girl saw her mother, she immediately began to accuse Shen Zhiping of his crimes.

Liu Wanqing looked at Shen Zhiping in astonishment, not knowing how things had turned out the way 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 made a bitter face and recounted what had happened.

Then, he was pinched several times by his wife, and he pretended to satisfy his daughter's request and punched Shen Zhiping several times with his little fists.

The little girl finally burst into laughter when she saw this scene.

In the end, Shen Zhiping had to go home alone.

After this little episode, he would have to work harder if he wanted to get closer to his little one.

If I had known this would happen, why would I have bothered myself?
Returning to the courtyard, Shen Zhiping met Yan Bugui again.

When Yan Bugui saw Shen Zhiping, he immediately invited him to go fishing. In the eyes of Comrade Yan, Shen Zhiping was very lucky in fishing. By keeping an eye on Shen Zhiping, he could not only improve his family's life, but also earn some money if he was luckier.

Shen Zhiping was in a bad mood at the moment and didn't want to go fishing.

"Teacher Yan, not today!"

"I have things to do here, so I don't have time to go fishing!"

Shen Zhiping politely declined Yan Bugui's invitation.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui's excitement instantly cooled down.

"Then, okay!"

Yan Bugui suddenly lost the mood to go fishing, but he was the initiator of fishing. If he didn't go, wouldn't it be tantamount to directly proving that he had ulterior motives in asking Shen Zhiping to go fishing?

Forget it, go ahead!
Yan Bugui had no choice but to take his fishing gear and ride his bicycle out.

Shen Zhiping returned to the East Courtyard.

I'm in a bad mood, go to bed!

Shen Zhiping slept until mid-afternoon, and when he woke up he felt refreshed and full of energy.

The only flaw was that I broke out in a sweat.

After taking a quick shower, Shen Zhiping rode his bike out to pick up his wife and daughter and take them home.

When he arrived at the Grain Bureau again and saw his wife and daughter, the little girl looked at Shen Zhiping again without any previous dissatisfaction, and happily called him "Dad".

"Wife, how did you convince our daughter?"

Shen Zhiping was very curious.

Liu Wanqing hit him lightly and said, "Are you stupid?"

"My daughter is still so young, she can't remember much!"

"Uh……"

Shen Zhiping was stunned on the spot.

Well, he was being stupid.

However, even though he had lived two lives, this was still his first time as a father and he had absolutely no experience at all.

The family of three happily returned to the courtyard, and on the way they met Yan Bugui who was returning from fishing. However, it seemed that old comrade Yan's luck was really not very good. Although he didn't catch any fish, he only caught a few small fish, which was really not very good.

Shen Zhiping chatted with Yan Bugui 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 chicks Shen Zhiping caught.

When the little girl saw the chick, she once again asked to play with it.

This time, Liu Wanqing satisfied her but couldn't get started.

The chicks are still very small.

Although the girl is young, her hands are very strong. If you are not careful, the chicken may be crushed to death by the little girl.

Shen Zhiping was busy in the kitchen for a while, and took the time to look at the door. Seeing his wife and daughter having fun, he was really relieved.

Sure enough, my wife was right. My daughter’s memory is not that good.

This is really a good thing.

He didn't want his daughter to remember that he lied to her when she was a child when she grew up, so he hit her to prove that his lie was true.

After dinner, my daughter still went to bed early.

Shen Zhiping and Liu Wanqing were just about to do something they loved, but they never expected that there was a commotion outside again. It was so noisy and disturbing.

"You take a rest first, I'll go out and take a look!"

Shen Zhiping spoke softly and walked out.

Before he could even walk out the door, there was a loud knock on the door of the east wing.

"Who?"

Shen Zhiping asked in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

"Engineer Shen, it's me, Shazhu!"

Sha Zhu's voice rang out from outside the door, "Come quickly, there's a fight between an old man and Liu Guangqi in the backyard!"

Shen Zhiping was stunned when he heard what Sha Zhu said.

Did Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi fight?
What kind of international joke is this?
Liu Guangqi was the eldest son and grandson of the Liu family, so he was definitely the first. Liu Haizhong was merciless to his two younger sons, but he was very lenient to his eldest son.

Not to mention, after Shen Zhiping arrived, he also gave Liu Haizhong some special advice.

"coming!"

When Shen Zhiping opened the gate of the east courtyard, he saw Sha Zhu looking at him anxiously.

"Engineer Shen, let's go over there quickly!"

"You don't know, in all the years I've been in the Siheyuan, this is the first time I've seen a master like this!"

Listening to Sha Zhu's words, Shen Zhiping said nothing, thinking, is this your first time seeing this? I've lived two lifetimes, and this is also my first time seeing this!

The two hurried to the backyard of the courtyard.

On the way, many people were walking towards the backyard, chatting as they walked, and they were all very curious about what had happened that made Liu Haizhong fight with Liu Guangqi.

When Shen Zhiping and Sha Zhu arrived at the backyard, they saw that Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi had been pulled apart. However, Liu Haizhong was still angry and made all kinds of accusations against Liu Guangqi.

Shen Zhiping only listened to a few words and understood the whole story.

The key to the problem lies in the fact that Liu Guangqi is leaving the Siheyuan.

Liu Haizhong had a frank conversation with Liu Guangqi, but unfortunately, the father and son could not reach a consensus.

After Liu Guangqi knew that his plan had been discovered, he no longer hid it.

He directly expressed his views on Liu Haizhong, all kinds of accusations and dissatisfaction, which finally angered Liu Haizhong.

At first, Liu Guangqi did not resist Liu Haizhong's outburst, but for some reason Liu Haizhong's words angered Liu Guangqi, and Liu Guangqi no longer took the beating quietly. Instead, he fought back and had a fierce fight with Liu Haizhong.

When such disputes arise in the hospital, the senior officials in charge should come forward to mediate.

But unfortunately, there is only one uncle in charge of Courtyard No. 95, and that is Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong is also a party to this dispute.

The problem is how to mediate this matter.

The reason why Sha Zhu went to find Shen Zhiping was because he thought that Shen Zhiping could come and take charge of the situation. In this courtyard, if we were to say who has the highest prestige, it must be Shen Zhiping.

Engineer from the technical department!

It has helped countless people in the steel mill to improve their skills.

"Master Liu, you were so reckless in doing this!"

Shen Zhiping walked up to Liu Haizhong and sighed.

He knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking, so when he found him among Liu Haizhong, he gave him some advice and specifically told him not to get angry and to control his temper.

Now, a good conversation between father and son has turned into a violent fight between the two. "Xiao Shen, you don't even know what that little bastard said!"

When Liu Haizhong heard Shen Zhiping's words, his anger flared up again.

"I worked so hard to raise them, but that little bastard doesn't appreciate my kindness at all. Instead, he says this and that are not good for me!"

"What else did that little bastard say? If possible, I would rather not have a father like me!"

"I'd rather not have a son like this!"

Liu Haizhong became angrier and angrier as he spoke. Looking at Liu Guangqi who was stopped by everyone, he wished he could turn back time and strangle to death this eldest son whom he once regarded as his own apple.

"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, stop talking!"

Sha Zhu stopped Liu Guangqi and spoke to comfort him.

Shen Zhiping felt overwhelmed when he saw the father and son who were at loggerheads with each other.

To be honest, this is the kind of thing he is most reluctant to get involved in.

They are father and son, biological father and biological son. Their relationship is closer than that of a husband and wife. In such a dispute, no matter who you speak for, when the father and son reconcile, you will always be hated as a third party who mediates.

"Master Liu, you shouldn't say that!"

"Brother Guangqi is still young, and he may not understand your ideas. You need to break it down with him and talk slowly instead of being so angry!"

"Brother Guangqi, I have something to say to you too!"

After Shen Zhiping finished talking about Liu Haizhong, he looked at Liu Guangqi again, "You are Master Liu's son. I think you know Master Liu's temper better than me!"

"You know that Master Liu has a bad temper, so you should be more careful with your words!"

"What's wrong? Do you still think you are justified?"

Although Shen Zhiping sympathized with the three sons of the Liu family, he felt that Liu Guangqi's approach was really inappropriate.

"Engineer Shen, you don't understand our family's situation at all!"

Liu Guangqi stiffened his neck and began to complain about Liu Haizhong's arrogance and unreasonableness.

Shen Zhiping listened quietly, and everyone in the yard also listened quietly.

Almost all residents in the courtyard knew about the Liu family's affairs.

But, there are some details that no one knows.

Now that Liu Guangqi had told everything, everyone's faces looked unhappy.

As for Shen Zhiping, he had watched the plot of Siheyuan before and knew some inside stories that others didn't know. Now, listening to Liu Guangqi's accusations, he didn't know what to say.

However, the situation Liu Guangqi described is not unique to the Liu family.

For example, when we fry eggs at home, they are mainly for the head of the family to eat.

When conditions are tight, when a family has to set up a household and support a family, nutrition must be adequate so that the family's life will not completely collapse one day.

In the plot, Jia Dongxu had an accident at work, and the specific reason was not mentioned. But there is a saying that because Qin Huairu has a rural household registration, she has no grain book, no ration, and her children have no ration. In order to feed the whole family, the Jia family has to spend more money to buy high-priced grain.

The result was that Jia Dongxu was not well-nourished, which caused him to be in poor spirits at work and eventually lead to an accident.

It is nonsense for Liu Guangqi to accuse Liu Haizhong of being selfish and unworthy of being a father.

To put it bluntly, Liu Guangqi is a complete ungrateful person for using this to accuse Liu Haizhong.

People who have never experienced hardship will not understand how devastating it would be if the pillar of a family collapsed.

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 delicious together.

But this is someone else's family affair, and outsiders are not qualified to comment on it.

Liu Guangqi became more and more excited as he spoke, completely unaware that the looks people around him gave him were becoming increasingly strange.

This is really an eye roll!
Many of the things Liu Guangqi complained about are common in many families 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 summarize his speech, saying that Liu Haizhong was not worthy of being a father.

After listening to his eldest son's accusation, Liu Haizhong did not refute or continue to get angry. Instead, he became more depressed, as if he had suddenly lost all his energy.

"Master Liu, I'm sorry, I made a wrong judgment on this matter!"

Shen Zhiping looked at Liu Haizhong apologetically.

Shen Zhiping didn't say anything extra.

How to resolve the relationship with Liu Guangqi is not something an outsider is qualified to advise.

"I'm sorry everyone!"

"It's my fault that Liu Haizhong doesn't know how to teach his son, and it's causing trouble for everyone!"

"It's all gone!"

Liu Haizhong slowly raised his head and spoke softly.

Now he feels that there is nothing more sad than a dead heart.

"Old Liu, think positively!"

"Look at me, I've come to terms with it now!"

Before leaving, Yan Bugui did not forget to comfort Liu Haizhong. After all, he had just experienced a dispute with his son not long ago.

Liu Haizhong forced a smile at Yan Bugui.

Want to be more positive?

If he doesn't want to open up, what else can he do?
Among his three sons, he doted on his eldest son the most. He was reluctant to hit or scold him, and he provided him with everything he needed for food and clothing.

As it turned out, the son was a saint.

All sorts of accusations were made against him on the grounds that he was too harsh on his two younger brothers.

Although Liu Haizhong has a high salary, tickets are scarce.

He also wants to give his three sons the same treatment, but is it possible?
Nowadays, in which family isn’t the eldest child passing on his clothes to the second child, and the second child passing them on to the third child?

As the saying goes, three years new, three years old, and three years of mending.

Unfortunately, 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!"

Liu Haizhong no longer begs his son to stay in the capital.

There is no point in keeping a son like this who holds a grudge against you by your side. When he gets old, you can't count on him to support you in your old age.

People still have to rely on themselves!
Bring up children for the purpose of being looked after in old age?
It can’t be prevented, not at all!
After this blow, Liu Haizhong's attitude towards his two younger sons changed slightly, but he was more indifferent.

The eldest son, who was loved and pampered 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 looked down on him even more.

But they are his sons after all. Since he gave birth to them, he has the responsibility to raise them.

But, that’s all!

……

Everyone in the courtyard dispersed, and Shen Zhiping also returned to the east courtyard.

Liu Wanqing didn't go to bed. She was waiting for Shen Zhiping to come back.

When Liu Wanqing saw Shen Zhiping coming back with a serious expression, she guessed that something was wrong.

Shen Zhiping directly told Liu Wanqing the whole story, and after a long while he said quietly: "Tell me, what do people want in this life?"

What on earth do people want in this life?
Raising children means working hard and being exhausted all your life, but your children may not necessarily be grateful. There may even be many ungrateful people like Liu Guangqi!
"You're stupid again!"

Liu Wanqing held Shen Zhiping's arm and said, "There are unfilial sons every year, but there are more filial and sensible children!"

"Master Liu's situation can only be described as a problem with his education!"

Shen Zhiping remained silent.

Liu Wanqing hit Shen Zhiping again, this time with great force, causing Shen Zhiping to grit his teeth in pain.

"Wife, please be gentle!"

Shen Zhiping looked at Liu Wanqing tearfully.

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?"

"Your attitude was wrong about what I just said, so you deserve to be strangled!"

Liu Wanqing's hand fell on Shen Zhiping's waist again.

Shen Zhiping grabbed her hand instantly and said quickly, "Wife, I was wrong!"
