Ajiu

Chapter 8 Husband and wife
The next day, Second Master Pei went out early to run some errands, and when Ah Jiu woke up, he was nowhere to be seen.

"Ajiu, isn't mother very bad?" Lin Youhui held little Ajiu in his arms, and said softly to her, "I know your father is exhausted from busy work these days, but mother wants him to check on you two as usual. Brother's homework."

"Actually, Mother's knowledge is also very good. It won't be difficult for you to teach your two elder brothers their homework."

"If mother takes over your two older brothers' homework, it will be very easy to keep your father from worrying about it. But mother is worried that your father will gradually take it as normal and neglect his son day by day. If you don't take over, you will I feel sorry for your father who has to deal with a lot of people and things outside, and he has to worry about it."

Lin Youhui sighed softly, lowered his head, and gently kissed his daughter's tender and smooth face.

Ajiu just woke up not long ago, and she is in good spirits. Hearing this, she stared at her with wide eyes, quite sympathetic.This is the era when the male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside. Women have no chance to make contributions. No matter how capable they are, they can only hide in the back house to care for their husbands and teach their children. As for men, as the head of the family, they have to go out to do military service. support family.

When a man returns home after being busy outside, should he take care of the children, or should he not take care of the children?If you want him to take care of it, you feel sorry for him working outside and working hard at home; if you don't want him to take care of it, you are afraid that his sense of responsibility will gradually weaken, and the relationship between him and his children will gradually become estranged.

Such concerns are of course not entirely unfounded.There is absolutely a world of difference between the biological son who was born and raised, and the biological son who was indifferent and as if blown by the wind, in the heart of the father, there is no comparison at all.

Lin Youhui is not a person who is used to wronging herself, nor is she a person who likes to pretend to be virtuous, but at this moment, she also hesitated and hesitated.

Ajiu couldn't speak yet, so she could only keep silent.If she could speak, she would probably remind Lin Youhui kindly, "Perhaps, when he checked Aiko's homework, he felt at ease and satisfied, and didn't feel tired?"

You may not know how he feels.Even couples who are like glue, there are times when they don't understand each other's thinking.Some others see it as a heavy burden, but for the person involved, it may be a sweet enjoyment.

Although it is a bit tiring to raise one's beloved child, it should be very interesting.

Moreover, when a child is born, both parents have the obligation to raise and educate him.The healthy growth of a child is inseparable from the company and guidance of the father and mother.If the father is absent during the child's growth, on the one hand, there will be lifelong regrets, and on the other hand, it will be difficult to have a healthy personality.

I feel sorry for him, and I can think of other ways to help him.For example, use your personal relationship to coordinate and handle some difficult matters for him, and so on.

Ajiu's eyes were round and round, and there was a sense of eagerness in her expression.However, she was just in a hurry and couldn't speak, no matter whether her opinion was right or not, whether it was helpful to Lin Youhui, she couldn't express it at all.

Lin Youhui laughed softly, "Little Ajiu seems to be able to understand, it's really interesting." Looking at her daughter's little face, which is as white as milk and smoother than a peeled egg, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch it. He leaned over and kissed again.

While discussing such a serious issue with me, at the same time belittle me!Ajiu was very dissatisfied with being pinched in the face for no reason, so she tried her best to get up in front of Lin Youhui and kiss her on the face.I don't know if it was intentional or purely unintentional, but it made Lin Youhui, a beautiful woman, face full of spittle.

"Naughty child!" Lin Youhui smiled dotingly, and lightly spanked her little butt.

"If you are in high school, let's find a small county and you go to be the county magistrate." After Second Master Pei came home that night, Lin Youhui teased him, "With the talent that Second Master Pei has cultivated in Suzhou, a mere county magistrate, love Nevermind."

Following Taishou Pei, the prefect of Suzhou, what major and important cases have you never seen?What intricacies haven't been dealt with?At that time, governing a small county will be easy.

Second Master Pei shook his head with a smile, "Madam, county magistrate, I may not be able to do well."

His father, Taishou Pei, was a well-known upright official. His Majesty the Emperor was familiar with his temperament and had always trusted him.Because of this, the Suzhou government has saved a lot of trouble, and there are very few high-ranking officials or eunuchs who come to provoke trouble.There are eunuchs stationed in Suzhou, who specialize in supervising Jiangnan silk, rare objects and other things for the emperor. They used to be arrogant and reckless, but since Prefect Pei came, they stayed behind closed doors all day, and they couldn’t be more honest.The officers of the Suzhou Guard used to bully the common people, but since Taishou Pei came, they behaved well and did not dare to do anything wrong.

Therefore, although Second Master Pei was tiring and trivial to help his father, he didn't find it difficult.

The county magistrate has to be on his own, and he may encounter unreasonable Shangfeng, and may often be harassed by high-ranking officials, procuring eunuchs, etc., and it is not easy to educate the people, collect taxes, and serve as servants.

"It's rare for you to see so clearly." Lin Youhui praised with a smile.

"I still have this self-knowledge." Second Master Pei also smiled.

Ajiu was lying on the bed and babbling, her little fist was stuffed into her mouth with great effort, and she was covered with saliva.Self-knowledge is such a good skill, and I want it too.

If you can recognize your true self, you will have less unrealistic dreams and inappropriate things, which is a great merit.

"What is our little Ajiu doing, my dear girl, are fists delicious?" Pei Er looked funny, came over and sat by the bed, teasing with a smile.

"It's not delicious!" Ah Jiu wanted to tell him, "Actually, I don't want to eat it. I'm just so bored that I really can't find anything else to do."

I can't run, I can't jump, I can't even sit up, what can I play, I can only touch my little fist.

Ajiu tried her best to grin at Second Master Pei, expressing her friendliness.She has not started to grow teeth yet, and her toothless smile is the brightest and brightest, more dazzling than the stars in the sky, it is amazing.Second Master Pei looked at little Ajiu fascinatedly, his eyes were full of doting and joy.

"What's the point of eating hands? She will eat feet in the future." Lin Youhui also walked over and sat beside him, "I guess in a month or two, she will concentrate on eating her little feet."

The pair of parents smiled happily at the same time, as if they were already very determined, and little Ajiu would nibble on her little feet with relish after a while.

I do not want it!Ajiu looked at them angrily, extremely wronged.After all, she can be regarded as a hygienic and polite home girl or lady, how could she pick up her little feet and gnaw them fiercely?It's too indecent.

Ajiu looked at the pair of unscrupulous parents resentfully, and continued to gnaw her little fist happily.

Second Master Pei and Lin Youhui leaned on their daughter's side to tease her and play, occasionally gossiping.

"The tribute is ready?"

"Well, it's all set. The eunuchs of the Supervision and Weaving Bureau have checked and accepted it, and it has been shipped to Liujiagang."

The emperor was in his prime, and although there were not three thousand beauties in the harem, there were still dozens of high-grade concubines.These concubines all like silk and satin, so the machine craftsmen in Suzhou had to work day and night to make exquisite silk fabrics for them.

Where there is a famous specialty, it usually becomes a tribute, which not only causes the common people to complain, but also the local officials.Suzhou produces silk, so it has to pay tribute to the court continuously.

"I heard something from my father when I was young." Lin Youhui said casually: "A simple farmer accidentally found a chestnut forest in the mountains. The chestnuts grown on the tree were very soft and delicious. He was very happy Reported to the county magistrate, the county magistrate listened and ordered him to cut down all the chestnut groves immediately, and he was not allowed to say anything about it.”

God-given a chestnut grove, okay?Of course very good.But with this chestnut grove, the fire cannot be wrapped in paper, and it will be known to people one day.If it is listed as a tribute at that time, the people in this area will suffer. Not only will they not be able to benefit from the chestnut forest, but they will also have to pay for it.It's better to just chop it up, and it's done once and for all.

The county magistrate was smart and decisive.

Second Master Pei touched his nose, who doesn't understand this truth?However, Suzhou silk has been famous all over the world for many years, so there is no way.

With a small fist in her mouth, Ajiu listened with gusto.Second Master Pei and Lin Youhui were harmonious and talked about everything, and she also heard some interesting stories, many of which belonged to low-level officials.

For example, there was a peasant woman in Huating County who remarried after her husband died and left her son with her ex-husband; after she remarried, she had another son with her second husband.Later, when the peasant woman passed away, the sons of the ex-husband and the son of the second husband competed to bury her and sued the government.The county magistrate looked down on this peasant woman very much, and the verdict was as follows, "If you remarry before you are alive, you will have no love for your son; if you return to the grave after death, you will hardly see your ex-husband!" She was sentenced to be buried by her second husband's son.

Lin Youhui once snorted, "At this moment, don't you mention the parents of everyone in the world? Confucian Taoists all know that 'mother and child are inseparable', this county magistrate is more ruthless than Mr. Taoism."

Filial piety must be respected for those who are famous and respectable.If you are not filial to your parents, your reputation will be bad, and you will not be able to be an official.But for rural farmers, the restraint of filial piety is not easy. If they don’t even have enough to eat, if you use the principles to educate and control them, they will ignore you at all.

The poorer the family, the more useless the famous religion is to them and has no binding force. It is true to say that "the warehouse is real and then you know the etiquette".

Although this peasant woman remarried, her two biological sons, the son of her ex-husband and the son of her second-husband, both wanted to bury their own mother. Why are you a magistrate?It is also their filial piety that the two sons contend for burial, isn't it better than pushing each other?They should be sentenced to jointly bury the peasant woman. On the one hand, it will satisfy the filial piety of both of them, and on the other hand, it will set an example for the rest, which is beneficial to enlightenment.

Second Master Pei is in favor of Lin Youhui.It's not for anything else, but there are many poor farmers who can't support their parents well, and there is no magistrate who doesn't have a headache.Both sons know how to be filial to their mothers and should be encouraged, not sarcastically persecuted.

The county magistrate's verdict is really noble, but it probably hurt both the son of the ex-husband and the son of the second-husband.The mother is scolded, which son is not disappointed.

When Ajiu heard them talk about the case, she felt quite happy in her heart.This is a pair of parents who are very humane and know how to be flexible. With them, Ah Jiu can rest easy.

You can get countless compliments and compliments by lying still on the bed, and you can learn a lot of useful knowledge by lying still on the bed!Ajiu looked at her current situation and really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.

"Although I'm still a baby, I'm already very knowledgeable." Ajiu was complacent thinking about her own affairs, extremely proud.
