Chapter 39 I Listen to You! Fourth Uncle
…
"Brother, please sit down too." Wang Shouzhe stood up and extended his hands to invite him.
"Fourth brother." Wang Shouxin's slightly aged face had a complicated expression, more of which was a little ashamed. He opened his mouth to speak but then stopped and sat down.
"It's rare to have a meal with my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Wang Shouzhe greeted gracefully, "Let's try Qingshui hot pot."
A high-quality fine carbon brazier and a copper basin were used to boil water. Some salt, cooking wine and ginger were sprinkled into the water. Thin slices of Lingjiao yak meat were put in and they were cooked within a few seconds.
"this?"
Everyone was a little surprised. How could food be delicious with such a simple cooking method? Don't waste your spiritual food.
However, as soon as the thin slice of meat enters your mouth, you will feel the refreshing elasticity, tenderness and smoothness, and a hot energy of blood surges through your abdominal cavity.
"The best ingredients must be cooked in the simplest way." Wang Shouzhe poured the spiritual wine for everyone and said slowly, "Only in this way can you taste the most original taste of the food. Brother, you started when you were eighteen It has been twenty-five years since I started working in Canzhuang. For your hard work and hard work for the family for so many years, my fourth brother proposes a toast to you."
Even if Wang Shouxin lived to the age of forty-three, he would only have such experiences of drinking spiritual wine and eating spiritual meat. Especially Wang Shouzhe's words made him feel warm in his heart. He quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "It should be, this is what it should be."
After the two of them finished their drinks, Wang Shouzhe solemnly toasted to Mrs. Xu and said, "Sister-in-law, you have been married to our Wang family for twenty-one years and have given birth to two sons and two daughters for the eighth generation of our Ping'an Wang family. You have really worked hard and made great achievements. Our Wang family’s great hero, Shouzhe, here’s a toast to you.”
Xu's heart suddenly felt sour, yes, who knows the hard work involved? But except for Shouzhe who mentioned this, no one had ever praised her so highly. He immediately raised his glass and responded with a choked voice: "Thank you, Uncle Fourth, for your consideration."
This spiritual wine is so sweet that it makes your body and bones feel like they are floating.
"Auntie, you married my father in your golden years. Not only did you have to work hard to take care of the family business, you also treated my siblings as your own, taking care of and raising them with all your heart." Wang Shouzhe toasted a third glass of wine and said, "This is such a kindness and virtue. Shou Zhe will always be remembered in my heart."
Gongsun Hui hesitated, the tip of his nose was slightly sour, and he glared with apricot eyes and said angrily: "Luoyi is my legitimate daughter, and you are my legitimate son. It is my duty to take care of and raise you. Why are you saying this for nothing?"
But having said that, she drank this glass of spiritual wine with joy. The fact that Shouzhe was so grateful was enough to prove that her hard work over the years was not in vain.
After these words, everyone gradually relaxed their minds. After three rounds of drinking, they drank a pot of spiritual wine to the fullest. Spiritual wine is the most intoxicating thing, and everyone is already a little tipsy.
"Fourth Uncle." Mrs. Xu began to have the courage to say, "I also know that that little beast Zong Wei deserves to be beaten and punished. However, Fourth Uncle, could you please spare him for the sake of your sister-in-law and your elder brother?" Once. Don’t worry, my sister-in-law will educate him well when he comes back."
As soon as these words came out, even Wang Shouxin stopped his glass and looked expectantly. Although he wanted to beat that little beast to death, it was his son after all.
Is there any parent in the world who doesn’t want their children to succeed?
"Sister-in-law, eldest brother, we are a family." Wang Shouzhe put down his wine glass and said seriously, "Zong Wei is my nephew and the hope for the future of the younger generation of our Ping An Wang family. You and your wife hope that your children will be successful. Could it be that I, the fourth uncle, will Is there any reason to look after your nephew as an adult?"
"Yes, fourth uncle is right." Mrs. Xu said with a cheerful smile, "How do you discipline them, we will listen to you."
"It's very simple. From now on, young people under the age of thirty in the family will be judged as heroes by their moral character and achievements." Wang Shouzhe said the ultimate goal, "I will rank the five in the first order, the second order, etc. Each sequence can enjoy different family salaries and resources, and I will list various standards and conduct an assessment and ranking every year."
"What?"
This time, even Gongsun Hui was a little surprised.
Families do rank the younger generation, but usually the rank is determined based on bloodline, potential, age and other factors.
"Not only that, I will also launch a comprehensive merit system for the entire family. As long as you contribute to the family, you will continue to gain contribution points. With the contribution points, you can exchange various cultivation resources with the family, even spiritual tea, spiritual energy, etc. Wine, exercises, and all kinds of things in the family treasury can be redeemed." Wang Shouzhe said seriously, "As long as you have the ability, you can obtain more cultivation resources."
To put it bluntly, Wang Shouzhe's set of things came from novels. The settings in the game avoid the situation where everyone in the family eats from one big pot. Although many family members are working hard without complaint, this is not a long-term solution after all.
Because it was okay when everyone was poor and they all worked hard with all their energy. But when the family becomes rich in the future, people's hearts will change.
"But, but this..." Mrs. Xu opened her mouth and said, "What does it have to do with Zong Wei's incident?"
"Sister-in-law, you are confused." Wang Shouzhe said, "Is Zong Wei's talent bad? It's not very good, but it's not bad, right? But why is he already twenty years old and still only at the second level of Qi Refining Realm? A high-level person? Not even comparable to some of his younger brothers and sisters? That’s because he has been pampered by all kinds of favors since he was a child, including from the second old man, the uncle, and the elder sister-in-law and elder brother. This makes him lack the sense of competition and refuse to I endured hardship and gradually developed various bad habits.”
"Then, can Zong Wei still be saved?" Xu asked weakly. To be honest, she was also very disappointed with what her son had done. But no matter how disappointed he is, it will always be his own son.
"Yes!" Wang Shouzhe said seriously, "That is to deprive him of all resources and let him fight for the cultivation resources with his own hands. He will know his shame and then be brave. He can rely on himself to rank first in the family and use the cultivation resources that have been deprived of him. Take it back. Only when he grows and makes progress through his own efforts bit by bit, will he mature."
"Fourth brother is right." Wang Shouxin slammed the table and said in agreement, "The conditions of that little beast are too good. How can he grow up if he is not allowed to suffer a little?"
"But if Zong Wei still doesn't work hard..." Xu said hesitantly, "then wouldn't he miss the best opportunity to practice?"
"Haha, if he refuses to work hard under such circumstances." Wang Shouzhe sneered, "Sister-in-law, how can you expect him to be successful in this life? It's okay. Although our Wang family is a little poorer, we can still manage to raise a rice insect. .Sister-in-law, you are not the only son. I think Zongchang is very good. Remember, he is only thirteen years old this year, right? He is already at the second level of Qi Refining Realm. If such potential can be well cultivated, he will definitely be our king in the future. The pillar of the family."
When Wang Zongchang was mentioned, both Xu and Wang Shouxin looked pleased. No matter what, this younger son is still quite competitive, much better than his elder brother.
"Shouzhe, you are right." Wang Shouxin seemed to have made up his mind, "Then give that little beast one last chance. If it doesn't work, then let him fend for himself. I, Wang Shouxin, will pretend that this has never happened to me. son."
Mrs. Xu was a little anxious. When she was about to say something, Wang Shouzhe comforted her: "Sister-in-law, please don't be anxious first. How can eldest brother and I harm Zongwei? If it doesn't work, then I will make the arrangements. I really don't believe in cleaning up." Not that kid."
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Xu put away her anxiety and said gratefully to Wang Shouzhe: "Fourth uncle, everything is up to you." Unknowingly, her eyes showed a lot of awe and trust for Wang Shouzhe.
Now that the matter has been agreed upon, everyone stopped the topic. Two brothers, Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shouxin, drank wine from a pot of spiritual wine while they drank each other's glasses.
After the banquet, Wang Shouxin, who was quite drunk, went back with Xu's help.
Gongsun Hui, who had witnessed all this, looked at Wang Shouzhe with both relief and emotion. If Zong Wei's matter is not handled well, it will most likely cause a gap between the two brothers.
But not only did he handle it very well, he also pulled Xu and Wang Shouxin into the same boat. Just imagine, even Wang Zongwei, the most unsatisfactory member of the family, wants to take the path of serialization. What reasons do other people have to oppose?
"Auntie, regarding the family merit system, I have to work hard for Auntie to register and manage it." Wang Shouzhe felt that Gongsun Hui was the best person to do this.
Then, they began to discuss various aspects of the merit system.
at the same time.
Wang Shouxin also returned home with the support of Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu was also a little drunk, and said with a red face: "Shouxin, I think the fourth uncle is really not a simple person."
"That's right, you don't even know whose brother it is." Wang Shouxin said with a stern expression, "If he had to take over the family business, the fourth brother might be a student of Zifu Academy by now." Everything about Wang Shouzhe today, It made him feel more dignified and made him feel like he could hold his head high in front of Mrs. Xu.
"Look at you...what are you going to do, you old guy?" Xu had only finished speaking when she was hugged by Wang Shouxin. She immediately raised her brows and became angry.
"Didn't the fourth brother praise you as a great hero?" Wang Shouxin picked up Mrs. Xu and headed to the bedroom. "We, the couple, cannot let the fourth brother down. We must have more children and contribute more to the family."
"Wang Shouxin, you bitch, when you think of me as a mother, you are... ah~"
