Chapter 27: Simple and Crude Money Reward Method

When I came back from Deng Yunjin's house, I smelled the aroma of lard from afar, and I knew that it was my eldest daughter who came back to fry oil.

Deng Shirong walked into the hall and saw his second son Deng Yunheng reviewing. He said with satisfaction, "You've done a good job. You don't have to do anything this summer. Just study. As long as you can successfully enter university next year, I will give you 50 yuan a month for living expenses, so that you can live comfortably no matter which city you study in."

Deng Yunheng was shocked and asked with wide eyes: "Dad, are you serious?"

Deng Shirong said seriously, "Of course it's true. It's always been the case that only sons cheat on their fathers, not fathers cheat on their sons. As long as you can get into college next year, I will definitely fulfill this promise to you and I will never break my promise."

Deng Yunheng was really excited when he heard this. What does 50 yuan a month for living expenses mean? You have to know that his father gave him 2 yuan to take to school before. He ate braised pork three times a week, and he still had 80 cents left to take home. If he went to college and calculated according to this consumption level, then 10 yuan a month would be enough to live very well.

Of course, the consumption level in big cities is definitely higher than here, but no matter what, with 50 yuan a month, one can definitely live a pretty comfortable life.

After all, many workers in the city, as the backbone of the family, do not have such a high salary! Thinking of the happy life of going to college, Deng Yunheng said firmly in his heart: "Dad, just wait, I will definitely get into college to show you."

Deng Yunheng had expected his second son to be excited. After all, 50 yuan a month for living expenses was equivalent to 10,000 yuan in later generations. For people from rural families, nine out of ten would be excited.

Deng Shirong had no other choice but to use this trick to motivate his second son.

In terms of intelligence and talent, his second son was definitely the best among his seven children. Unfortunately, in his previous life, due to limited educational resources in the countryside and his lack of study effort, he missed the opportunity to go to university.

Deng Shirong was reborn in this life, so naturally he would try his best to change the fate of his second son.

"Okay, I'll wait. If you work hard, I will provide you with good food and drink this summer, and I will give you enough living expenses when you start school. I just hope you can give me a surprise and let our Deng family produce a college student of great status." Deng Shirong said with anticipation.

"Dad, don't worry, I won't let you down." Deng Yunheng said in a firm voice.

…

For dinner, Deng Shirong made a very classic dish for his children - taro rice.

There are many ways to cook taro rice, and each version uses different ingredients. The method in Naye Village is very simple, without so many fancy ingredients, and the highlight is the aroma of taro.

First, heat oil in a pan, add the taro cubes cut into finger-sized pieces and stir-fry until fragrant, add lard, then add soy sauce, salt and other seasonings, stir-fry evenly, then add yesterday's leftover rice, stir-fry until the rice changes color and tastes good, then add the crushed garlic. When the garlic aroma is strong, you can remove from the pan.

The taro rice made in this way is very dry and delicious.

However, there is no leftover rice in Deng Shirong's family. His method is to fry the taro until fragrant, add appropriate amount of water and rice, and then cook it like normal dry pot rice. This is the only difference, and the other steps are basically the same.

Although the taro rice made in this way is not as dry as the fried leftover rice, it has a very strong aroma of taro and garlic and tastes great.

In short, the children were quite satisfied with the meal.

The greedy Deng Yunsong ate three big bowls of food, then he touched his full belly and groaned.

After dinner, when the family sat at the door to digest their food, Deng Shirong looked at the three children and said, "Xiaosong, Xiaohua, Xiaoheng, I have something to tell you three. This afternoon, I made an agreement with your second brother. As long as he can get into college next year, I will give him 50 yuan a month for living expenses while he is in college."

Hearing this, not only did Deng Yunsong, Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng exclaim in surprise, but even Deng Yuntai, who was already working as a big vat master in the vat factory, felt it was incredible.

As for sisters Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunzhu, their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Deng Shirong noticed the reactions of his children and continued, "Now I'm going to make a deal with you three. Starting from next semester, as long as the average score of the midterm exam or the final exam is above 90 points, I will give you a reward. The minimum reward is 5 yuan, and then 2 yuan for each additional point. If you get full marks, you will get 30 yuan directly. Whether you can get this reward depends on your own ability!"

Although Deng Shirong had abundant life experience over two lifetimes, he still considered himself a layman when it came to education. Since he didn't know how to teach, he decided to use monetary rewards to see if he could motivate his sons to study hard.

Anyway, none of his sons in his previous life could get into college. Even if his monetary reward method doesn't work, it can at most maintain the result unchanged.

After hearing what his father said, Deng Yunsong asked with shining eyes: "Dad, are you telling the truth?"

Deng Yunhua also asked excitedly: "Dad, as long as the average score is above 90, we can get so many rewards?"

Although Deng Yunheng was only eight years old, he knew that money was a good thing and could buy a lot of delicious food. He looked at his father with anticipation.

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Of course it's true. The reward is always valid. As long as you have the ability, I will be happy to give you this reward. But I want to remind you that you must take the exam based on your own ability. Don't think about cheating and fooling me. Otherwise, if I find out, I will let you taste the power of the rice bucket."

Hearing the word "rice measuring tube", the little ones couldn't help but shiver. The rice measuring tube is a utensil used in rural areas to measure rice and cook rice. It is made of bamboo and can fit an adult's fist.

If a child cried loudly or got into trouble, which annoyed the parents, they would use a rice measuring tube to punish the child.

Generally, something is burned in a rice cooker to make smoke, and then the child's mouth and nose are stuffed into the rice cooker, and then the smoke inside is used to choke the child. Only those who have tried it know how uncomfortable it feels.

Nowadays, people in rural areas are more fertile. Each family has four or five children at least, and seven or eight are also common. However, they are not as precious as the only children in later generations. If they annoy their parents, they will be merciless when it comes to beating them.

In short, there is no child who has been choked by a rice measuring tube who is not afraid.

It really felt like I couldn't breathe and was about to die.
