Even so, they received very little of what was left over; most of it was given to their older or younger brothers.

"Dad, is their family short of money?"

"No shortage. The people who can live in the family compound all hold high positions, so relatively speaking, they are not short of money or tickets."

"Then why would we do that? We've never done that in our family."

"Why? It can only be said that their education, ideology, and culture are different from ours."

Then he explained his understanding to his daughter one by one.

In his view, he couldn't let his daughter feel that there was gender inequality, and that the elders in the family had a preference for sons over daughters.

Even if the Shen family doesn't have it, in this environment, we still need to let our daughter know more.

Even though she is still young, she should know everything she needs to know.

As for other people's affairs, that's their business, and neither he nor anyone else has the right to interfere.

I never expected that after listening to what I had to say, my daughter would ask me that question.

"Daddy, they're so pitiful! Should I share my things with them?"

Why should we distribute it to them?

"Aren't they pitiful because they don't get the affection of their elders?"

If others get to eat or play with the good stuff, won't they get nothing?

I was wondering if I should share my things with them to play with, or give them some to eat.

"How can you be so sure that they are pitiful, that they have nothing to eat, and nothing to play with?"

"What's the meaning?"

"What do you mean? Even though you're still young, do you remember where our family lived before we came here?"

"It's so far, so far. We have to take a car first, then a train, and then..."

"That's right. Do you remember what kind of grains we usually ate when we lived there?"

"I eat eggs, steamed eggs, and egg pancakes. My brothers eat eggs, yellow cakes, yellow steamed buns, cornbread, sweet potatoes, and porridge."

"So what kind of food do we eat now?"

"Yes! Everyone is eating rice, steamed buns, and big meat buns."

"So, do you think white steamed buns or yellow steamed buns taste better?"

"I don't know, I've never eaten plain steamed buns."

"That's true. Why don't you ask your kids what they eat at home?"

"No need to ask, I know. They have porridge and steamed buns for breakfast, rice or steamed buns for lunch, and it seems like they also have rice and steamed buns for dinner."

"If that's the case, then they eat the same food as us, so why do we need to give them that stuff?"

It's not like they didn't have enough to eat.

Think about it, aren't all the snacks you can eat now only available here?

"There are many things I've never eaten before. I used to eat mostly cookies, but here I can eat a lot of pastries."

"They've been here longer than you, some of them were born and raised here. Do you think you've eaten more pastries or they've eaten more pastries?"

"Of course it's them."

"Do you still feel sorry for them?"

"But their family?"

"No matter what they do, they just give most of the good things to the boys, but that doesn't mean they won't give any to the girls."

But the truly pitiful people were those who lived in the countryside before we came back here.

The people there, whether boys or girls, may not have even tasted the biscuits you eat most often.

Moreover, somewhere else, you might only eat meat a few times a year, but here, you can eat meat every few days.

"Meat, once a day, hehe!"

"You little glutton, then tell your father, is it more pitiful to be the friend you just met here, or to be pitiful to be the child living in the countryside?"

"Of course, the children in the countryside are the more pitiful ones. So, Dad, how can I help them?"

"Don't rush this. When you grow up and are able to help them, then you can do so."

But can you tell Daddy why you think they're pitiful?

"It's not what I think, it's what they told me."

They said that Grandpa was a high-ranking official, and the higher-ups gave Grandpa and Grandma a lot of money. This money would all go to their older and younger brothers, not to them.

She also said that everything in the house belonged to her brothers and wouldn't be given to her.

But I clearly eat the same things as my brother and the others, and I wear the same clothes.

Why are they still so accommodating in front of them? They even said that back then, Grandpa held a high official position, was not short of money, and could eat whatever he wanted.

Unlike them, no matter what they eat, their elders always complain that they eat too much.

Even when it comes to eating meat, the older or younger brother gets to go first.

But Dad, our family isn't like that, is it?

Whenever there's something delicious, they always give it to my brother and me first. Why is it that when it comes to their family, it's always the other way around?

"You don't need to worry about that. Just remember that every family is different, so don't worry about it. We won't do things the way they do in our family."

"oh!"

"However, if they talk about these things in front of you again, try not to listen to their nonsense."

Although Dad has never seen them, their clothes shouldn't have any patches on them, right?

"No, there really aren't any. Aside from being a bit dirty and old, there are no patches."

"In that case, don't believe the widows who are talking there. They're trying to trick you into telling them what you eat at home every day."

Maybe you'll go back home and look for Hmm, and by then, even if you have a lot of good things to offer, it might not be enough to share.

"Oh no! No way?"

"Why not? They all said your grandfather has a lot of money. How can you not give it to them?"

"this?"

"Third son, that's enough. You've been telling the child all these things for years, how could she possibly remember them all?"

Then her brothers stayed by her side, explaining to her bit by bit who was telling the truth and who was lying.

"But?"

"There are no buts. Even though your dad is back in charge of the work, some people are unhappy that he has taken over someone else's position."

Don't think that just because I don't know who it is, that they want a few kids to corrupt our children. What are you thinking?

Our children don't need their education.

Hearing the old lady say that, he didn't know what to say. After all, he had just returned from the front lines and was well aware of the situation in Beijing.

It's better to be careful. Whoever it is, we should wait until he has established himself in Beijing before making any moves.

However, before that, you can give your son a few words of advice in private, since he is a little older and should be able to handle some problems.
