Chapter 01 House Rules

In the 21st century, the children of every family will be sent to school when they reach a certain age, and the normal order of reading is about starting from kindergarten, then to primary school, middle school, middle school and high school, and then university, with the support of the state, and now it is the era of 12 years of compulsory education. However, although the state implements compulsory education, some parents are still willing to pay a lot of money to send their children to private schools, and the results may be different depending on the cost.

For the education of their children, parents also spend a lot of effort and expense.

The Pei family, located in the southern district of the lockdown city, is now worried about the future of their children and grandchildren.

Speaking of the Pei family, it is also a famous and promising big family in the local area, and the family background is not bad, whether it is in the political or business circles, it has a certain status, as long as it is the Pei family in the southern district of the city, who does not give them face, more people still want to find a way to get to know the Pei family. And the Pei family, who has such a reputation, also has problems that they have been troubled for many years, which is also directly related to the fact that they can get a truthful and strong family background and strength.

Now it is the spring of the recovery of all things, and there is vitality everywhere, and at this time, the Pei family is sitting around the table with a solemn expression to discuss important issues related to the fate of the family, which has nothing to do with political affairs, nor official affairs, but family affairs.

The first seat is Pei He'an, the patriarch of the Pei family, and on his left and right sides are his four sons, Pei Huayu, Pei Huapei, Pei Huaqiong, Pei Huaju, and then his grandchildren, a total of nine, three generations in the same hall to discuss together. It can be seen that the Pei family has many heirs, and it will inevitably continue to prosper in the future.

It's just that the atmosphere in the conference room is strict at this time, and the air pressure is extremely low for a while, and the younger generation is sitting upright in their positions, and no one is speaking at this time.

Pei He'an sighed in his heart, he had a kind old man's face, he had been the patriarch of the family for many years, and he was very majestic when he didn't smile.

Today is a meeting of Pei He'an's family, no wonder his children and grandchildren are silent, mainly because today's topic is a bit heavy.

In today's society, no one wants to send their precious son out of an unknown place to live, and at an early age, even as an adult, he is extremely unwilling, and how much does it cost to raise a child.

The nine young people here now have two or three children under each of them, at least one, but no one is willing to say that they want the quota in Pei He'an's hands, fifty years ago, it was a quota that every family rushed to want, and now, there are not many parents who are willing to let their children suffer.

Pei Huayu, as an elder who could speak at the scene, pondered in his heart for a long time, and said: "The special school will send an envoy over in the near future, and today I just inform you of this matter, as long as the junior who is qualified and under the age of fifteen will be sent over, and the quota will not need to be determined." ”

Hearing Pei Huayu say this, his brothers' faces became even worse, even the youngest Pei Huaju didn't necessarily have a better face, he was nearly twenty years younger than Pei Huayu, he was Pei He'an's old son, he was young, he got married late, and his eldest son was about the same age as his nephew's son.

The Pei family does have an unwritten rule, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one can break the feng shui of the Pei family.

In the eyes of modern people, this rule is very domineering.

Every generation must have someone to study in a special place, and it is not up to them to decide who to go, the special school will send envoys to the Pei family every ten or twenty years, and the children who are tested to be qualified will be taken away, and parents may not be able to see their children again in this life, not only can they not see them, but they will not even get much news.

Some people have thought about avoiding this matter, but as long as they do it, it will be detrimental to the Pei family, the ancestors have learned a lesson, and now no one dares to disobey the ancestral teachings. Pei He'an's family is okay, several of his children have not been tested for qualifications, and he has accompanied him to old age, and now he can see his children and grandchildren full of children, but now he has to send his children and grandchildren away with his own hands, and he must be reluctant in his heart.

He is content to live to his current age, and he has also seen the children of other branches of the family being sent away, how much happiness there was at the time, and how much reluctance there is now, sure enough, these good things cannot only fall on the heads of other branches.

Pei Huayu's words were not answered, Pei He'an said slowly, "You don't have to worry, the messenger from there also has to be selected, and not every child may have the qualifications to enter a special place." Huayu, when the messengers come, you have to entertain them, and anyone who comes over there is more noble than me. It is a good thing that the child was chosen, what is going on with a bitter face, you have to think about the more benefits that the children will get in the future, as the descendants of the Pei family, you should not make this gesture. After talking about it in a row, Pei He'an took a sip of the fragrant tea sent by the second Pei Huapei in time and cleared his throat.

Pei He'an's four sons are all talented, they were not selected back then, but his father was so angry that he sighed, saying that they did not get the blessing given by God, and now it is another round of selection, and he hopes that a few children and grandchildren can enter God's eyes.

To Old Man Pei's earnest words, Pei Huayu and others responded: "Yes, Dad/Grandpa." ”

Pei He'an's eyebrows were kind, his face was ruddy, and he didn't look like an eighty-year-old man, he put down the pale cyan teacup and said, "Let's go and get busy, after the messenger comes, everything should be clear." ”

The children and grandchildren of the Pei family are all busy people, and it is not easy for everyone to take time to go back to the old house for a meeting. Of course, there are also juniors who are ready to stay in the old mansion for the weekend.

Pei Chengying is Pei Huayu's third son, he is loyal and honest, his ability and appearance are not outstanding at all among the many outstanding Pei family descendants, although he is conscientious in his work, but he only found a position as a section chief in the government, and it is estimated that he will almost come to the end of his life. Pei Chengying is not only ordinary, but the wife he married is not very brilliant, and he has never shown his face in front of the elders, even his father Pei Huayu is in a state of giving up on him, and it is enough to have the big tree of the Pei family to ensure that their family has no worries for a lifetime.

is also because Pei Chengying is not brilliant, the family lives a plain life, and there is no special pursuit, of course, after learning about today's incident, Pei Chengying knew that his family still had such a secret thing, and his heart was uneasy for no reason.

Pei Chengying is not brilliant in the whole person, but his wife's belly is brilliant, he has a son and a daughter in less than three years of marriage, and he gave birth to a baby egg five years ago, and now his three babies are not more than fifteen years old, and his always kind face is a little more melancholy.

Not only Pei Chengying, but also the few cousins who just came out of the conference room did not have a good face, and the state does not restrict the number of children, but modern society pays attention to having fewer children and raising more expensive, having three children is already their limit, no one wants to send the children away, and they are not short of food and drink.

However, although everyone felt uncomfortable, no one showed it on their faces, because of the ancestral teachings, they could not inform their pillow people, and they could only wait for the messenger to arrive for testing.

Today's concept is really different from the previous concept, when food and clothing are solved, it is natural to have more spiritual enjoyment, who is willing to eat what kind of ghost fisher, even how to endure hardship.

It is normal to be a parent who is depressed, anxious, and worried.

In general, it is not clear which child is qualified to go there, and no one except the patriarch knows where and where the child is going. In previous years, the elders who sent their children away were all tight-lipped, and no one knew what benefits they had received and how they were relieved. All in all, they only know how to send qualified children away at a certain time period, but they don't know where to do it, what hardships to endure, who makes them suffer, and how to endure hardships.

Pei Chengying sits in the office all the year round, his qi is a little weak, and his wife is a little motion sick, and every time he comes to the old house, he has to stay until Sunday before returning to their home in the city. In fact, Pei Chengying also wants his children to be closer to his nephews, although others are not tactful, but he has been immersed in the Pei family's strong family atmosphere for many years, and he still understands many things about how to behave.

As a big family, the Pei family also has its family motto, the first one is "respect the ancestors, live in harmony with the family, and do not cause harm to morality because of interests", and the atmosphere between brothers and sisters is quite harmonious.

Pei Chengying returned to the small courtyard where they lived, and saw him sitting cross-legged and meditating in Tuanpu calmly, perhaps because of what his grandfather mentioned today made him uneasy.

As a loving father, Pei Chengying feels that he is obviously very good, how can it not work in front of his third son, since the little guy can walk, he doesn't like to stick to his father very much, not only that, but he doesn't like to let his parents hug him, but he doesn't respect his elders, the little guy is small, he is more respectful and polite than the two older ones, and this kid doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to go out to play with children of the same age, and his only love is probably meditation.

Other children play with guns and dolls, but his family likes to meditate under the tree all day long, and I don't know where they learned it.

Pei Chengying walked to the place where his baby was sitting now, afraid of alarming him, squatted down in front of him, and whispered: "Yuan Jin? ”

A white dough doll sitting on the tuanpu practicing kung fu slowly opened his clear and beautiful eyes: "Dad, what do you call me?" ”

The tangled Pei Chengying sighed in his heart.

Look, his third son is so sensible and polite, and he doesn't look like a child.

Pei Chengying stretched out his hand to his son Pei Yuanjin and said, "Son, let Dad hug one?" ”

I saw that his baby egg let out a slight sigh, stood up from the group, walked in front of Pei Chengying with three heads, and helplessly opened a pair of short arms, and a childish voice sounded: "Hug it." ”

Pei Chengying successfully picked up her son, but she didn't have much sense of accomplishment.

Why do you have the illusion of being disliked by your son?

He really didn't mean to ignore his son's look of a strong man who would never return.
