Chapter 254 Family System
"This family meeting ends here."
"If there is anything else, you can come to me directly."
Lu Changsheng looked at his wives, concubines and children and said.
He also realized that in this situation, it was not easy for his wives, concubines and children to speak freely.
If the problems raised by the concubines involved the family system and children, it would seem that he, the head of the family, the father, and the aunts did not discipline them well.
If the children said some problems, it might affect the relationship between brothers and sisters and the harmony of the family.
"Yes!"
When the others heard this, they all stood up and responded.
Then Lu Changsheng, Ling Zixiao, Lu Miaoge and others walked out of the meeting hall.
"Miaoge sister, Zixiao, what other problems do you think need to be improved in the family system?"
After returning to the Changsheng Hall, Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaoge and Ling Zixiao and asked.
He felt that in addition to the profit aspect, the family atmosphere and system must be taken seriously.
The current family rules are roughly similar to those of Qingzhu Mountain.
But Lu Changsheng had a very clear understanding that his family was completely different from the Lu family of Qingzhu Mountain.
The Lu family of Qingzhu Mountain has a history of hundreds of years. Family affection and blood ties are relatively weak, so they pay more attention to rules and clan rules.
And my family is currently a family.
It is better to say that it is a big family than a family.
As the head of the family, I don’t usually manage things and am more casual about most matters.
Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen and others have also watched their children grow up.
In this case, they will not be too strict with their children and act completely according to the rules.
"My dear, in terms of the family system, I think there are a few points that need to be paid attention to."
Ling Zixiao glanced at Lu Miaoge and said with a smile.
"Zixiao can just say it directly."
Lu Changsheng said aloud.
He knew that his ability in family management was average, so he was very willing to listen to suggestions.
"My dear, I think we should let the children handle the spiritual fields, fisheries, medicine gardens, family shops, cooperation and other matters."
"This way, not only will all the children have things to do, but they can also be tempered and improve the family atmosphere."
"Otherwise, if Miaoyun and the others are always in charge, it will not be good for the family."
Ling Zixiao said so.
"Why?"
Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"My dear, if Miaoyun and the others make mistakes in some family affairs, will you punish them?"
Ling Zixiao asked with a smile.
"Hmm"
Lu Changsheng paused when he heard this and immediately realized the problem.
He shook his head and said truthfully: "Probably not, at most a few words."
"That's it, Miaoyun and the others are responsible for many things at home, and now they have to take care of these things. They are very busy. Maybe they made some small mistakes, or they didn't handle the affairs of the family properly."
"In this case, you won't say anything, and naturally others won't say anything. If this continues for a long time, it will seem that the family rewards and punishes unclearly."
Ling Zixiao came to the table and sat down, with a dignified and elegant manner. He poured a cup of tea and continued: "There are many children in the family now. When they are fourteen or fifteen years old, they can be arranged to do things."
"Don't be afraid if you make mistakes at the beginning. The family gives them enough trial and error costs."
"Besides, if the children do something wrong and don't do it well, we as elders can teach them and say a few words, so that the children in the family will not have resentment."
"If the children feel that the elders are biased and do not do well, how dare they say it if you don't say anything."
Ling Zixiao drank tea and said with a smile.
"Changsheng, what Sister Ling said makes sense."
Hearing this, Lu Miaoge also sat aside and spoke out.
"Indeed."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
After being pointed out by Ling Zixiao, he clearly realized the problem.
"Sooner or later, these affairs will be handed over to the children, so why not let them do it now."
"During this period, if someone does a good job, give more rewards, so that other children in the family can also encourage more work."
"Children with good spiritual roots or skills should concentrate on cultivation, focus on skills, or do some easy things, and don't need to spend too much time on affairs."
"As for those who really have no talent and no ability, let Miaoyun get married early. It's not a problem to keep some idle people at home."
"Besides, having more children can also be regarded as a contribution to the family."
Ling Zixiao smiled and continued.
"Changsheng, in fact, Xianzhi, Ruyi, and Quanzhen are doing quite well, so you can let the children try to do all these affairs."
"If they do it well, it can also play an encouraging and driving role."
"And Miaoyun, Huanhuan and others can also focus on housework and cultivation."
Lu Miaoge nodded slightly, agreeing with Ling Zixiao's opinion.
"Okay, I'll talk to Yun'er, Huanhuan and the others about this later."
Lu Changsheng nodded when he heard this.
As Ling Zixiao said, the family can still afford the loss now, and there is enough cost for trial and error.
This will also make it easier for me to make arrangements based on my children's talents and teach them according to their aptitude.
Otherwise, like now, I will give a simple arrangement and not pay much attention to it later, which will not only affect Lu Miaoyun's arrangements, but also not be thorough enough in exploring the talents of my children.
In addition, he also realized a problem.
Many of the things that his children do are designated by him and Lu Miaoyun.
In this way, some concubines and children may have some opinions in their hearts.
According to Ling Zixiao, all affairs are divided into subdivisions and done according to ability.
If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do not do well, you will be replaced.
If you can't do anything well, you will get basic benefits at home.
Let the family arrange the marriage, get married early, and have more children.
After the three chatted for a while, Lu Changsheng directly called Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen.
Whether it is him, Ling Zixiao, or Lu Miaoge, they actually did not intervene or pay too much attention to the affairs of the family.
So the three chatted, but they still called Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan and others to understand the actual situation of the family.
After Lu Changsheng expressed his ideas, Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaohuan naturally had no opinions on this aspect.
As Ling Zixiao said, as the mistresses in charge of the family, they originally had many chores.
Now they are responsible for a lot of family affairs, they are indeed very busy, and they have no time to practice on weekdays.
Lu Miaohuan is fine, having broken through the seventh level of Qi Refining through the high-level Breakthrough Pill.
Lu Miaoyun has not yet broken through the seventh level of Qi Refining.
"Okay, Yun'er, Huanhuan, Zhenzhen, you still need to pay more attention to the family affairs and personnel matters."
"As for the spiritual fields, fisheries, medicine gardens, shops, cooperative businesses, etc., don't worry, you can roughly divide them up, and then we will see how to arrange them."
Lu Changsheng said so.
"Yes, husband."
Several women responded.
After discussing the situation, everyone talked about the personalities of their children at home.
Lu Miaoyun said that people like Lu Ping'an and Lu Xianzhi at home are still relatively down-to-earth.
But now some young children are indeed relatively naughty.
On the one hand, there are too many children in the family, and it is impossible to discipline them in everything.
On the other hand, it is also related to the family growth environment.
When Lu Changsheng was the son-in-law of Qingzhu Mountain, the children at home were somewhat restrained in their lives.
Now, as Lu Changsheng's status has risen, the status of his wives, concubines and children has also risen, which has also affected the children's character.
After talking with his wife, Lu Changsheng walked out of the Changsheng Hall and went to talk to his children.
In his opinion, the main job of an old father in the family is to coordinate.
He first found his eldest son Lu Pingan.
Asked this son about his feelings and opinions on the current situation of the family.
Although Lu Pingan's personality is a bit dull and straightforward, he still sees many things very clearly.
In his opinion, the biggest problem of the family is the harmony of brothers.
There are so many brothers in the family, and they are not close and friendly.
"Alas."
Lu Changsheng sighed slightly when he heard this.
He was not clear about this problem.
Not to mention close friendship and harmony between brothers, in his opinion, it is estimated that some children will be jealous because of their partiality, selfishness, and unfairness.
It's just that in the family, in the face of major issues, it will not be revealed.
After chatting with Lu Pingan for a while, he talked to his son Lu Xianzhi and daughter Lu Ruyi for a while.
Lu Xianzhi's views are somewhat similar to Lu Pingan's.
He has some responsibilities as the eldest brother in the family.
He also said that he was not talented, but was favored by Lu Changsheng, which was really a shame.
His daughter Lu Ruyi didn't feel much, thinking that the current situation was not bad and she was quite happy.
When he found Lu Quanzhen, the other party was taking Lu Caizhen to Hushan Town to play with the other two brothers and sisters.
"Father, I meet you!"
"Daddy, why are you here?"
Seeing Lu Changsheng, the four of them shouted immediately.
Lu Quanzhen and his son Lu Huaizhen were relatively mature and bowed respectfully.
The two daughters Lu Caizhen and Lu Yuzhen were relatively close and smiled and stepped forward.
"Haha, at today's family meeting, I think there are indeed many aspects of the family that have not been taken care of, so I came to talk to you and listen to your ideas."
"And I think Quanzhen should have something to say at the meeting today."
Lu Changsheng looked at his children and said with a smile.
As he said, he looked at Lu Quanzhen and said gently: "Quanzhen, if you have any words in this regard in the future, you can talk to your father in private, or send a message to your father. There is no need to say it in public. Such words will affect the harmony between you brothers."
"Dad, my brother also means well, and there is no other intention."
Lu Caizhen thought that his father was here to preach, so he took Lu Changsheng's arm and said coquettishly.
"Father, I think this kind of thing should be said in this occasion to be effective."
Lu Quanzhen said in a serious voice after hearing this.
"Don't you worry that your words will make others unhappy?"
Lu Changsheng smiled.
He knew that his son was precocious and had a strong opinion.
A few years ago, he sent Lu Quanzhen to Ruyi County to work under Hong Yi, and Hong Yi also praised Lu Quanzhen.
He said that Lu Quanzhen was calm and decisive in his work.
But in fact, as his son grew older, he didn't really know him very well.
"Don't worry, if they are unhappy and resentful because I mentioned this, it means that these people are not on the same page with the family and don't regard me as a younger brother or elder brother, so why should I worry about them?"
Lu Quanzhen said calmly with deep eyes.
Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows when he heard his son's words, and probably understood his ideas.
He continued to ask: "What else do you think about this?"
"Father, in my opinion."
Lu Quanzhen raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly expressed his thoughts.
Lu Changsheng listened quietly.
His son Lu Quanzhen's ideas about the family are different from his concepts and ideas.
Generally speaking, they value rules more than family affection.
As Lu Quanzhen said, as a member of the family, one should share the family's hardships and contribute to the family.
If one lacks such ideas, it means that one lacks a sense of belonging to the family and does not regard oneself as a member of the family. This should be severely punished and the atmosphere should be rectified.
This set of rhetoric even forms a closed loop. If you contribute to the family, everyone is a family.
If you do not contribute to the family, you are not considered one of your own. You should not be polite to such people.
"Brother, we are all a family, so there is no need to be so strict."
"Besides, everyone has different ambitions, and Dad has always said that it's fine as long as you are happy."
Lu Yuzhen next to him stuck out his tongue and said so.
"There is no requirement, just be happy."
When Lu Changsheng heard this, he looked at his daughter thoughtfully.
Thinking carefully, it seems that he has never made any requirements for his children, as long as they are happy.
Even if he can see his children's talents through the system, many things will still follow their own wishes.
He thought of what his son Lu Wuyu told him about the Lu family in Ruyi County before.
He said that the Lu family's children will definitely be domineering and need to be strictly disciplined.
In fact, his current Lu family in Bihu Mountain also has some tendencies in this regard.
"As a father, I am indeed too casual about this."
"If it is a big family, it doesn't matter, but now that we have established a cultivation family, we still have to have some family appearance."
"After all, the original intention of my establishment of the family is to give my children a better growth environment so that they can continue to grow through the family."
"Instead of relying on me alone to support the family and everyone."
Lu Changsheng thought in his heart.
He looked at Lu Quanzhen and said, "I roughly understand your idea, but this kind of thing can't be done all at once."
"I have discussed this with your mother and several aunts today."
Lu Changsheng slowly told Lu Quanzhen.
Since his son has an idea, he is willing to talk more with him.
But his idea is still the same as Ling Zixiao said, to change through guidance.
After all, the current situation of the family is not to the point that Lu Quanzhen said, and it is necessary to act completely according to the family rules.
After chatting with his son Lu Quanzhen, the sky gradually darkened, and Lu Changsheng brought his children to the Lu family mansion for dinner.
He naturally doesn't need to eat and drink at this level of cultivation, but he will occasionally fill his appetite.
Besides, eating spiritual rice and spiritual food for cultivators is also helpful for cultivation.
In the next few days, Lu Changsheng talked with his children at home, cared about the situation, and also prepared in advance for changes in the family system.
Half a month later, Lu Changsheng issued a new family rule that all family members who are over fourteen years old can take the initiative to apply for family affairs.
If one has not broken through the fourth level of Qi Refining by the age of sixteen, the family will make arrangements.
The family will calculate the salary and benefits for the next year based on the progress of cultivation, family contribution, and moral character.
