With a roar, He Jiandang's two eyes looked everywhere, and after looking for a long time, there was no shadow of Wang Chunling in the room.

"Xiaogui, where is your mother?" He Jiandang only felt a burst of anger coming out of his heart and straight into his mind.

He Daogui had bitten off half of the fritters he was holding in his hand, and when he heard He Jiandang's questioning, he swallowed it in fright, and said timidly: "I saw my mother go out with a bun." ”

Wang Chunling knew that she was at a loss, and was worried that He Jiandang would listen to He's father's words and turn back to settle accounts with herself, so she quickly opened the cupboard as early as when He Jiandang sent He's father out, first took two fritters and gave half a half to each of the four children, and then went to the kitchen to boil porridge and dilut buns, pretending to be busy, and immediately called the children to eat after cooking, so as not to give He Jiandang a chance to get angry.

Seeing her unrepentant look, He Jiandang only felt a burst of anger from his heart and rushed to his head, when the child was in front of him, he suppressed his anger, but when the children went back to sleep, he exploded in his couple's bedroom.

"Wang Chunling!"

Wang Chunling was taking off her padded jacket and preparing to go to bed for a moment, trying her best to hide her weakness, "He Jiandang, why are you making such a loud noise? Don't you know that the children have to go to school tomorrow? Wake them up, you will wake them up tomorrow!"

Faced with such a wife, He Jiandang calmed down.

In the dim kerosene light, He Jiandang watched his wife quickly get into the quilt, closed his eyes, and suddenly said, "Chunling, do you think it's hard and aggrieved to live with me?"

Wang Chunling was stunned, didn't she teach herself?

She opened her eyes, "No, no." Why do you say that?"

"I think it must be that I am useless, I don't let you live a worry-free life, I don't have enough money for you to buy things casually, and I don't have enough food so that you don't have to eat and worry about the next meal, so I will make you do things that instigate your children to ask their father for clothes and food. He Jiandang sat on the edge of the bed, holding his head in his hands, exuding a decadent atmosphere, "It's all my uselessness as a husband, it's all my uselessness, it's all my uselessness!" he said, clenching his hands into fists and pounding his head.

Wang Chunling straightened up with a carp, stretched out her hand to grab his wrist, and said eagerly: "Party building, don't do this! I don't blame you! I really don't think you're useless! Don't beat yourself, how can you hit yourself on the head? How important is your head, you didn't see that crazy woman knock his head, and the doctors said they don't know when he will wake up!"

He Jiandang raised his head, his eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept for a few days and nights.

"Really?"

"Really not!" Wang Chunling nodded desperately, "I really don't dislike you for the founding of the party." My good days all started when I entered this door, and with you, I never went hungry. ”

"I didn't let you starve?"

"Nope. ”

"I haven't let you get cold?"

"No, there isn't. ”

Although Wang Chunling is often calculating and not broad-minded enough, she can't deny that she only lived a life of food and clothing after marrying into the He family, and she never tasted the taste of a full meal before getting married, "I followed you to put on the first new clothes without patches, and I also followed you to eat the first white flour roll." Even fifteen or sixteen years later, I still remember it clearly. Since the founding of the party, I have not been hungry or frozen in the past ten years, really!"

He Jiandang stared at her: "Since you are not starving or cold, then, why did you ask Xiaorong to ask his father for cotton clothes? Don't we have cotton clothes to wear? Don't you know that the military cotton clothes were bought by the three of them?"

Wang Chunling's face suddenly became unsightly.

She didn't answer, and He Jiandang didn't speak anymore, just looked at her like this, his eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't tell what it meant, as if he was a little disappointed, as if he was a little angry, and as if he was a little self-defeating.

Wang Chunling involuntarily panicked.

"Party building, you ...... You...... Don't think of me so badly! Doesn't I feel sorry for you and the babies?" The army cotton jacket and army cotton pants worn on He Jiandang's body must be better looking than He Father and an old man.

"Feel sorry for me and the child?" He Jiandang smiled sadly, his face full of disappointment, "You made me embarrassed in front of my father, and I may lose face in front of my brother in the future, they and even the entire production team laughed at me behind my back, saying that I am not filial, have no conscience, and have no ability to be filial to the old man, and I still want to rob my brother of filial piety to my father's cotton clothes, you feel sorry for me?" You teach your children to ask their grandfather for clothes and food, as if it were a matter of course, and when the children arrive at school or even start a family, they will be pointed at the backbone and say that the children in this family are not sensible, the adults have not taught them well, and they have not studied well, are you distressed about the children?"

"The ...... of the founding of the party" Wang Chunling was dumbfounded, she was jealous of Qi Shufang's worry-free life, she just wanted to take advantage of it, why would it affect the future of her husband and children?

He Jiandang said in a deep voice: "Chunling, you say, how can you make me believe the facts you said?"

He raised his hand and didn't give Wang Chunling a chance to speak, but said to himself: "What you just said is definitely not true, you must be thinking in your heart that I have no ability, so you can't wait to take other people's things into your arms to tell the world that this is your own, something that can prove that I have the ability." But, Chunling, did you think about my feelings when you were doing these things? I only hope that my wife and children earn all the food and clothing they have, and this is the proof of whether I have the ability or not, not the proof that I snatched it from others. If you want to eat well, if you want to wear well, you tell me, there is money and things in the family, I will definitely fulfill your wishes, if not, I will work hard to earn, and one day I will let you get your wish. ”

Wang Chunling was moved and ashamed.

Moved by He Jianjian's heartfelt words, ashamed of what she had done, but there was a faint disdain in the shame, she didn't do anything bad, why did she come to this kind of journey.

Wang Chunling was a little confused, "...... the founding of the party", I just wanted to take advantage of it for nothing, and I didn't do anything bad?

"Chunling!" He Jiandang grabbed Wang Chunling with both hands, his eyes were full of hope, "Chunling, for the sake of our family, for the sake of not being gossiped about, and for the sake of our children not to be poked in the back, you will definitely not do this kind of thing again, right? However, poverty is not a reason for us to take advantage. ”

Wang Chunling hesitated, isn't it a fool not to take advantage of it?

He Jiandang made persistent efforts and said: "Chunling, you are stupid, you see, you want to take advantage, but in the end, did you take advantage? After this incident, my father doesn't like you, and the second and third sons are filial to our father, and if they knew, maybe they would hate you, and they would still think about you in the future?

Wang Chunling thought about it carefully, as if she really didn't get any benefits, as if she jumped up and down, the second family got as many things as her own, Zhang Cuihua didn't say a word and still had a good image in front of Qi Shufang.

So treacherous! Wang Chunling jumped to her feet.

"Figured it out, right?" asked He Jiandang.

Wang Chunling nodded dumbly, and carefully thought about what happened in the past year, she really didn't take advantage of the slightest, the third egg of the second family often went to the third family's house to eat and drink, Qi Shufang didn't seem to hate him, and made him a pair of shoes, on the other hand, his own children did not lose a little benefit.

There is a door! He Jiandang's heart was relieved.

He is not afraid of Wang Chunling's greed for a while, he is afraid that she will still be the same after preaching, and he is even more worried that in this case, he will not be able to correct the child's bad habits in the future.

Children's education is influenced by their parents, both father and mother.

He Jiandang knew that it was difficult for Wang Chunling to immediately change her evil and return to the right because of her words today, once people's habits were formed, it was impossible to change them all at once, they could only influence her step by step, and let her see the benefits, so he said: "You have to remember one sentence, as long as normal people in this world are not stupid, many people are pretending to be confused." If you are good to others, as long as that person has a conscience, that person will be good to you, you will be generous to others, and others will not be stingy with you. Don't talk about it from afar, just say that our father and the third father-in-law, do you see what's the way?"

Wang Chunling thought for a while and said: "Shufang is really good to our father, she bought clothes one after another, first a sweater, then a gown made of cotton, then a tunic suit, and now she has bought a military cotton jacket and military cotton pants." I did the math, not to mention sending delicious food to our dad every three or five days, these clothes alone must be worth a hundred or dozens of dollars. As for her father and her mother......"

Wang Chunling hesitated, thought about it carefully, and suddenly slapped her thigh, "Except for the next festival ceremony and the completion of the return ceremony with the third child, I haven't seen Shufang go back to her parents' house! Not to mention clothes, I haven't given a single piece of cloth." Her father and brother came to make trouble, but every time they came back in vain, they didn't take advantage of it!"

"yes, you see, what a stark contrast? Do you think of a reason?"

"Our father is good to the third and the two, although he hasn't given anything, but he has always been fair to the three of us, when Jianguo is not at home, he has worked with you and the second child to help Shufang. Unlike the old couple of the Qi family, who only wanted to dig up their daughter's things and give them to their son, they didn't seem to treat Shufang as their own flesh and blood at all. Wang Chunling didn't want to admit it in her heart, but under the shining eyes of He Jianjian, she could only choose to tell the truth, could it be that the benefits that her father-in-law got were because her father-in-law was good to the third family?

He Jiandang nodded and said: "That's right, that's the reason, so our father can get the sincere filial piety of the third and the second, but the old couple of the Qi family don't, even if it turns the world upside down, it's useless." ”

Wang Chunling admits that he was right.

"Let me tell you, Chunling, you have to be smarter, smart people will open their horizons, they will open their hearts, and they will learn from each other's strengths. The third child is affectionate and righteous, who is good to her, she understands it in her heart, and there are a lot of rewards. Huo Jianfeng's family gave her a set indicator, what do you think is the reason? It must be because the third and the second are good to the Huo family, and the Huo family is happy to be good to them. If you are empathetic and kind to the third family, can Shufang not think about you if she has any good things? You may think that even if you calculate this and that, she has not treated our family badly, you don't think that she doesn't dare, in fact, she just doesn't want people to gossip, saying that she is unfair to our family and the second family. On the surface, our family and the second family get the same things, but in fact, people are close to the second family, and if only one family can get the benefits in the future, she will definitely think about the second family, not our family. ”

"She dare!" Wang Chunling's willow eyebrows rose.

"Don't think that she doesn't dare, people's hearts are originally biased, when they can be fair, they are fair, and when it is difficult to be fair, they must be biased towards the side that is closer to them. He Jiandang sternly knocked out his wife's self-righteous "she dare": "Dad's self-reserved land has always been divided with our family, and what is planted and harvested is our family's, but now what? The self-reserved land of the third and the second is taken back, and our father immediately divides his own land and grows a single vegetable for the third and two children, why do you say?"

"Because the third family is better to our father, than to anyone else, so even if our father wants to be fair, he can't help but favor the third family a little, and people can't make mistakes, I think this is what it should be. I care, and others say I'm stingy. Wang Chunling said dejectedly, she had to believe that what He Jiandang said was the truth.

He Jiandang praised: "It's very good that you can figure this out, my words today are not in vain." ”

Although she figured it out, Wang Chunling was still unhappy.

He Jiandang did not force it, but said earnestly: "Chunling, you have to remember that envying what others have is not a bad thing, but it will become the driving force of our life, but jealousy is unacceptable." ”

"What's the difference between envy and jealousy? ”

"It's different, it's different. The cultured He Jiandang began to pick out the words, "It is also the things that are jealous of others, but envy is the hope that they can have it, while jealousy is hostile, full of indifference and rejection to those who have things, and they are eager to keep it for themselves." The third family is living a good life, you are jealous, and the second daughter-in-law is envious. ”

Wang Chunling put this sentence in her mouth and chewed it, as if it really meant something.

She said unhappily, "Am I so bad?"

"Yes!"

He Jiandang's words made Wang Chunling so angry that he twisted his thigh, "He Jiandang, you make it clear to me!"

He Jiandang grinned in pain, but he still bravely spoke his opinion.

"Am I wrong? It is also something given by the third family, and the second family is grateful to Dade, and they say all the time that the third family is good, and if there is no good thing for the third family, they will send a sack of sweet potatoes, which makes them look generous and good-looking. What about you? You don't remember how good the third family is, you get cheap and feel that you have suffered a loss, you want to take all the qiē into your arms, and you don't give anything to the third family, what are you not jealous of? The third family and the second family only say that the third family is filial to the old man, and they are very proud. ”

"Why didn't I give anything to the third family? At the time of the Chinese New Year, Shufang sent a piece of meat to our father and a bowl of dumplings to our family, but I gave her a bowl of plate oil!" Wang Chunling said unconvinced.

"Yes, you knew a lot about coming and going back then, why has it changed now?"

Listening to He Jiandang's question, Wang Chunling was also asking herself.

How did it change?

Since when did it change?

It seems that the life of the third family is getting better and better, and the level is much higher than that of their own family, they can buy things as they want, they can eat and wear good, and their hearts are becoming more and more unbalanced.

He Jiandang saw that she was deep in thought and did not disturb her.

Wang Chunling thought about it for a long, long time, and when she came back to her senses, she found that most of the kerosene in the kerosene lamp was missing, and she immediately became angry, "He Jiandang, you can turn off the lights and speak, why don't you turn off the lights? Do you know how difficult it is to buy these two taels of kerosene? Our family doesn't eat finished grain!"

He Jiandang's words that he still had a stomach left were defeated by her words.

Wang Chunling was so distressed that her eyes were red, she quickly got out of bed and blew out the lights, returned to bed in the dark, got into the quilt in a huff, pulled the quilt to cover her head, and said: "Sleep! Tomorrow the production team will have to chop cabbage and dig radishes!"
