Chapter 254 Little Treasure's Principle
The two children quarreled all the way back to You Zhenghang's house.
When I entered the house, I calmed down a bit, and my head was drooping and I was silent.
Mrs. You noticed something was wrong with the two little guys, so she put down what she was doing and came over to ask.
At this time, You Zhixian had also returned home. He saw his wife encouraging the children to express their unhappiness, so he remained silent and stood on the porch to listen.
Children are relatively able to release their emotions when facing their mothers, but are much more reserved when facing their fathers.
If the children are unhappy, it is better to let them go.
After briefly explaining what had happened, You Zhenghang said to Mrs. You very seriously: "Mother, I think the county government should not distribute so many things for free. This is not a good practice."
Mrs. You: "What's wrong?"
You Zhenghang: "The purpose of giving them flour and wine was to let them clean the pig's intestines, but the purpose was not achieved, and they were made to drink everything."
Mrs. You: "Does that mean you shouldn't give things away, or shouldn't be secretive?"
You Zhenghang: "Of course you shouldn't be ignorant. But mother, not everyone consciously abides by these principles."
Mrs. You: "What you said makes sense, so how should we change it?"
You Zhenghang: "It's simple, just don't send it."
Mrs. You: "Xiaobao, what do you think?"
Xiaobao: "Auntie, things have to be distributed. Otherwise, how can they be motivated when they see that they have to contribute their own efforts and spend money to solve these material problems?"
Mrs. You: "Yes, Xiaobao is right, but this is troublesome. If you don't distribute things, everyone will have no enthusiasm; if you distribute things, some people will take advantage of them. How to solve this problem?"
You Zhixian stood outside the door and smiled: His wife always unknowingly guides the children to think further, allowing them to break away from their low mood and find solutions to problems.
The two children thought for a while, and Xiaobao said first: "Actually, our contract states that if the product fails to pass the inspection, no money will be given."
Mrs. You: "Then why is the situation like today still there?"
You Zhenghang became angry again: "That's a shrew! She's unreasonable!"
Mrs. You raised her eyebrows and stared at her son without blinking until You Zhenghang lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I said bad words."
Xiaobao secretly rejoiced: He thought so too. Fortunately, You Zhenghang was quick to talk.
"Auntie," Xiaobao said, "I think they are bullying us because we are young. If we were adults, they would not dare to do this."
You Zhenghang added: “The other thing is that they don’t recognize us.”
Mrs. You nodded: "Yes, these are two important reasons. Then just don't go there from now on. It's better to let the adults inspect the goods."
Xiaobao: "That's not possible! You have to be aware of your own business. How can you not go and take a look?"
Mrs. You said: "Then next time something like this happens again...?"
You Zhenghang: "Next time, if we don't be self-righteous, we'd better let our brothers follow us."
Xiaobao said: "Then we can't rely on others' strength... No, anyway, we are just following the adults, which is not our own ability!"
You Zhenghang: "What else should I do? Being young is a flaw, a flaw!"
Xiaobao: "How about we inform you in advance next time and say that the boss will come to check the stocking situation the next day and give them a chance to prepare again?"
You Zhenghang: “That’s okay, but I feel like it doesn’t solve the fundamental problem.”
Xiaobao: "Then what do you think the fundamental problem is?"
You Zhenghang: "I think they should read some books and understand the truth."
Xiaobao: "They have just had enough food, and they can't afford to study yet. Besides, there are many people who haven't studied, and few are as unreasonable as that slutty... woman."
.This is because her nature is bad and human nature is evil!"
You Zhenghang: "You're being extreme! When you were in elementary school, you memorized the saying that 'human beings are inherently good by nature' at the beginning. They are evil because they don't learn to be good later, but they are not inherently evil!"
Xiaobao: "That's because their parents didn't teach them well. The reason they didn't teach them well is because their parents themselves are bad... isn't this still evil at the root?"
Xiaobao has experienced too much evil since he can remember, and he really doesn't believe that "nature is inherently good".
You Zhenghang: "It seems that you are right, no, I mean I feel that what you said is wrong, but I don't know how to refute it."
Xiaobao said: "If my mother heard what I said, she would probably beat me, but that's what I think. You see, if a child is not good, it's because his parents didn't teach him well. Why didn't he teach him well?
It's because his parents are not good themselves, so they don't know what to do.
It’s the same as eggs. If the chick is not healthy, it means the egg is not good. If the egg is not good, it means the hen is not good. If the hen is not good, it means it was not good when it was still an egg..."
Mrs. You had long since noticed that her husband was standing at the door and had not come in. When she saw that the two children were in normal mood and started to argue, she quietly went out to join her husband.
Youzhixian and his wife returned to their house. On the way, Youzhixian said: "The children are really old. Listening to what they discussed, sometimes I can't understand whether human nature is inherently good or evil.
If you talk about the prisoners in the cell, call them evil. Each of them has some grievances or reasons. Call them good at first, but almost all of them have been fighting since childhood, bullying good and fearing evil..."
Mrs. You smiled and looked at her husband: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Xiaobao and You Zhenghang didn't discuss it for long before they broke up.
Although it is said that "the more you argue, the clearer the truth", but their completely different growth environments and experiences have caused them to think about problems from different angles, and their experience is insufficient, so they cannot distinguish the reasons.
But Xiaobao has his own principle, which is to hold the book in his left hand and point the sword to the sky in his right hand.
"Liezi Shuofu" once recorded: "Confucius' strength can expand (lift) the gates of the country."
"Huainanzi Zhushu Xun" records: "Confucius was more knowledgeable, wiser than Chang Hong, and braver than Meng Bi (ancient warrior). He could sneak as close as a dodder in the suburbs, and use his strength to conquer the city gates, and he could do a lot."
Confucius always "holds a sword" to reason with others, so-called "one word, one word, one word, the way of relaxation".
You can never go wrong if you learn from Confucius.
Mr. Kong, do you agree?
The children were hungry before dinner time.
After all, I wandered around outside all day long and only made up for some snacks at noon, not having a proper meal.
At this moment, the meal was finally served. When the two children saw You Zhixian picking up a chopstick of vegetables, they immediately started eating.
You Zhenghang almost got carried away after eating, his mouth was full of oil, and he asked: "What kind of dish is this? It's so delicious!"
You Zhixian said: "This dish is called 'Fat Sausage', and your mother cooked it herself."
You Zhenghang burped and choked a little: That smelly intestines!
You Zhixian also took a chopstick and put it in his mouth: "Well, it's fresh, soft, smooth, and chewy. It's really good! This was re-cleaned by the butcher's house. How about it? There's no bad taste anymore, right?"
You Zhenghang couldn't stop hiccupping.
Xiaobao looked at You Zhenghang's expression and asked for him: "Why did you still accept their pig intestines?"
You Zhixian: "The couple were also frightened. There were five barrels and one hundred kilograms. What should we do if we don't sell them?"
You can’t finish it if you keep it for yourself, and other people won’t buy it. To make it taste good, you need a lot of ingredients. The ingredients are not more expensive than large intestine?
So they begged for their lives and promised not to make mistakes again, so your brothers accepted it."
You Zhenghang: "Father, aren't you violating the contract documents? If you give in this time, more people will take advantage of you next time!"
You Zhixian: "This is not a concession from me, it was decided by the boys of the Chu family.
They said that it has been more than half a year, and the people have tasted the benefits, are motivated, and basically have some spare money in their hands.
There is no need to hand out various auxiliary materials for free and let them purchase them by themselves. All they need to do is raise the purchase price slightly.
The goods will still not be accepted if they fail to pass the inspection.”
Xiaobao praised: "This is a good trick! Brothers are smarter!
In the past, materials were given out in vain, but now they suddenly stop giving them out. People will think that a mouse droppings in the butcher's house spoiled the pot of porridge, and they will naturally blame them, and then become more self-conscious;
