After nightfall, the mother-in-law and the two children fell asleep, but Zeng Chuipu and Yan Chengxiu were still busy, one was lighting the fire in front of the stove, and the other was slaughtering pigweed behind the stove. And in the pigsty behind the house, the hungry pigs were screaming.

While the two were working, they were discussing the news that their cousin Zeng Chuiyu had brought to the house today.

Zeng Chuipu was inclined to enter the factory, but Yan Chengxiu's opposition was very resolute, which made Zeng Chuipu very difficult. Listening to my cousin's meaning, this time I can only be regarded as a contract worker, there is no establishment, and the salary is not high, eighty-five yuan a month, so that it is only about 1,000 yuan a year, even if there are some benefits during the New Year, I am afraid it will not add up to more than 1,200 yuan.

However, the use of the family is getting bigger and bigger, the eldest daughter Zeng Jiao is already in her third year of high school, and she will go to college next year, I heard that even if she is admitted to the unified enrollment, she will have to get three or four thousand a year, if she can only be admitted to self-financed students, she will have more money that year, at least five thousand yuan. In addition, the second daughter Zeng Tong is also in the fifth grade, and the younger son is in the third grade, and he spends more and more money.

In this case, the income of 1,000 yuan a year will not be of much use to the family.

Thinking like this, Zeng Chuipu said with some hesitation: "Then I'll reply to Brother Chuiyu, let's not go?"

As soon as Zeng Chuipu's words came out, he heard a voice behind him: "Why don't you go?"

The husband and wife were stunned for a moment, and said in their hearts who was talking, and when they looked back, they found that Zeng Wei, who was supposed to be sleeping on the bed, was actually standing at the kitchen door with two eyes shining brightly.

………………

Both of them were a little surprised, their youngest son is smart, because no matter what Zeng Wei does, he doesn't need his parents to worry about it, this child has a strong ability to be independent, since he was studying, except for the first semester of the first grade, the eldest daughter Zeng Jiao helped him sign up, everything in the school is done by himself, and his grades are also very good, he has never fallen out of the top three, and he has not let the husband and wife worry about it at all. The people around him said that the child was a genius, and the couple was convinced of it.

However, even if the youngest son is a genius, he is only more than seven years old, and he doesn't have to worry about his studies even if he is the top of the sky, how can he express his (husband's) opinion on the matter of entering the factory?

Yan Chengxiu came over and picked up Zeng Wei, touched his head, and asked with some worry, "Sanmao, what's wrong with you?"

Then she turned her head and said to Zeng Chuipu: "No fever, it's fine!"

Zeng Chuipu also looked at his youngest son with some hesitation, not knowing what went wrong, whether the youngest son casually learned to speak to adults, or was he really thinking about entering the factory by himself, and had his own independent ideas?

It's extremely unlikely to think about it, how old he is!

Looking at his parents' shocked eyes, Zeng Wei couldn't help but sigh secretly, if it weren't for the fact that this matter was directly related to his family's fortunes in the next few decades, he would not have made such an amazing move in advance.

After all, it's too appalling for a seven-and-a-half-year-old child to speak out and point out his parents' maze.

This is also for his parents, otherwise Zeng Wei would not dare to guarantee that he would not be strangled to death as a monster.

But thinking that his parents' decision would affect his family's fortunes in the next few years, he didn't care if he would scare his parents.

The previous conversation with the eldest sister Zeng Jiao didn't know if it would bring some positive impacts, which would change the life and destiny of the eldest sister.

Even if the eldest sister is admitted to university because of this, she can find a good job in the future and help the family, but that will be at least four or five years later, far from quenching the thirst, and it is meaningless to the family's current embarrassing situation. Only by reversing the decisions made by parents in this matter can it have an immediate effect on the family.

Parents can never guess what will happen in the next few years. They could not have imagined that starting this year, China would usher in the most rapid period of economic growth since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and its economic growth rate would remain above 10 percent for five consecutive years. It is also impossible for them to imagine how prosperous the Kudan cigarette factory will be in the next few years, and in about five years, the average monthly wage of workers will rapidly increase from two hundred yuan to one thousand six hundred yuan, an annual growth rate of more than fifty percent!

Zeng Wei said a little unhappily: "Don't treat me as a child, I am a genius, and I can't produce a genius in 10,000 years." ”

Seeing that he joined the conversation between his husband and wife in a serious way, and looked at his appearance of an old god, it seemed that he was confident and pointed out the maze for the two of them, Yan Chengxiu's head suddenly became a mess.

This son really doesn't know what to say!

Although every pair of parents wants their children to excel, if there is a shocking child like Zeng Wei suddenly in their home, no one can stand it.

Since Zeng Wei has already opened his mouth, he can't help but make his words clear, otherwise he will miss this good opportunity, his family doesn't know when he will be able to get out, and his happy life will not come many years later.

Seeing that both of his parents were looking at him in shock, Zeng Wei sighed a little helplessly, and said, "Dad, Mom, you should take a long-term view of the problem!"

Hearing his seven-and-a-half-year-old son say this to him, cold sweat suddenly broke out on the heads of the two of them.

If the old father (father-in-law) says this to himself, or the old mother (mother-in-law) says it to himself, or if he retreats to his daughter-in-law (husband) to say so, they can understand it and accept it with peace of mind and humility. However, it is really appalling that these words came from his youngest son, who was less than eight years old.

The thinking of the two of them suddenly became a little confused, could it be that a person in his forties could not compare to his own seven or eight-year-old child?

This blow is just too big!

………………

Zeng Wei didn't think about what his parents were thinking at this time, he continued his persuasion: "You only see that my father's salary in the factory is not high now, but I didn't expect that this salary will rise, and it will rise very quickly." ”

Yan Chengxiu said with some disbelief: "Sanmao, who did you know that the wages of the cigarette factory will rise, and it will rise very quickly?"

Zeng Wei knew that if he couldn't convince his mother on this issue, it would be impossible for his father to enter the factory. Although the father does not have no status in the family, in such a big matter, it is always the mother who makes the decision, because in the previous life, this was the case in the family.

Speaking of which, Zeng Wei also felt a little sad for his father.

Although my father is not a rake ear, and even many times he will deliberately disagree with my mother, but since my grandfather died, every time there is a major event in the family, the decision-making power finally falls into the hands of my mother.

This has a lot to do with the father's character.

As Zeng Wei, who has memories of his previous life, knows very well that his father is not a hardworking person, nor is he a smart person, nor is he even a person who cares for his family.

Of course, he doesn't have any bad intentions, well, it's absolutely fine to send him a good guy card.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Zeng Wei said, "Mom, what's so hard to guess about this. During the summer vacation, I read some of my sister's books, which contained some questions on current affairs and politics, saying that our country's GDP growth rate was nearly 10% last year, and what Comrade Xiaoping's speech on his southern tour was that the country should focus on developing the economy. ”

After listening to what Zeng Wei said about the chicken's fart, as well as Xiaoping's speech, the husband and wife looked at each other very tacitly, and finally came to a conclusion that the youngest son was probably a "ghost".

Yan Chengxiu nodded vigorously at Zeng Chuipu, and said with some heaviness: "It's a ghost!"

In Gudan, the meaning of ghost is the upper body of the ghost, this phenomenon seems to be very common in the countryside, often people are possessed by the ghost of the dead, or hysterical madness, or unscrupulously tell some old things that only the dead know about the secrets.

Because this phenomenon is very common, the people who see it don't think it's so rare, but they just need to find a mage to scold them, or find a respected elder in the village to teach them a few sentences.

In view of the abnormal behavior of their youngest son Zeng Wei tonight, the husband and wife naturally defined him as a "ghost".

Zeng Wei rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Fart, ghost!"

After speaking, Zeng Wei couldn't help but feel very discouraged. I spent a long time trying to give them guidance, but in exchange for this recognition, it hurt people's self-esteem too much.

"Do you want to find a mage to figure it out?" Zeng Chuipu asked Yan Chengxiu a little uncertainly.

"Where can I find it?" Yan Chengxiu muttered, obviously she didn't object, she was just worried about this candidate. None of them were atheists, and they were even more convinced of superstitions.

Zeng Wei said with a dark face: "Please, please use your brains, okay? If your son is a ghost, how can he think about your future so carefully? Don't mention any mages or the like, anyway, I have already made it very clear about this matter! Dad goes to work in the tobacco factory, and the future of our family will be smooth sailing, otherwise, there will be ups and downs step by step, how to choose, you can discuss it yourself, anyway, I won't speak, so I won't be seen as a monster by you!"

He is very unhappy in his heart, and it is really thankless to communicate with his parents in this era.

It is no wonder that the ideological gap of nearly 30 years is really worlds apart.

If you want your parents to adapt to your own way of thinking, you do have a lot of work to do, and Zeng Wei is pessimistic about this.

Zeng Wei fell asleep, leaving Zeng Chuipu and Yan Chengxiu all night sleepless.
