Chapter 279: Grown Up?
As soon as he snored, his wife, who was watching TV on the side, realized that he was asleep, shook him for a while before waking him up, pulled him up and sent him back to the bedroom to sleep.
It was already 11:30 p.m., but Huang Hongliang had written less than a third of his son's homework.
His eyes were fixed on the math textbook, but his head was worried about other things, those math problems that were not easy for him, because he couldn't concentrate at this time, the problems were even more difficult to learn.
Since he started to write his homework, he has been worried about the fact that his father Huang Hongliang will come to pick him up tomorrow, whether he will go or not?
Listening to his father's tone, he is already very dissatisfied today, and if he can't shirk it tomorrow, Huang Hongliang may lose his temper.
But when he thought of his mother Wang Jufen's face, the child's heart couldn't help but drum, now Wang Jufen's emotions have a great impact on him, every time he goes to his father's side, Wang Jufen's face is gloomy and terrible, which makes the child vaguely feel that he is doing something that he should not do when he goes to his father.
In this way, unconsciously, the emotions of Wang Jufen and Huang Hongliang doubled down on this child, making the child's psychological burden heavier and heavier.
At an age like him, where he can't judge right from wrong, he doesn't know how to resolve and confide in this psychological pressure, and the child, who is already introverted and doesn't talk much, is now even more unsociable.
Coupled with the fact that there are a lot of things in his mind that he shouldn't have considered at his age, his academic performance has plummeted now, and it is common for him to have his eyes on textbooks and his thoughts to be seriously deserted like today.
Wang Jufen, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes at this time, she walked up to her son and asked, "Why haven't you finished writing yet?"
Her son said: "More than half of it has not been written. ”
Wang Jufen asked puzzledly: "You came to write your homework after eating, and you haven't written more than half of it until now, what are you eating?"
Her son whispered, "There's a lot of homework today!"
Wang Jufen slapped her son's head with her fingers and said, "It's good that I won't go to class tomorrow, otherwise it will be up to you how to hand in your homework tomorrow!"
His son rubbed the place where Wang Jufen's fingers were on his head with his hand, but he didn't dare to speak.
Wang Jufen yawned and said, "It's too late tonight, don't write it, write it tomorrow, hurry up and wash your face and sleep." ”
When his son heard this, as if he had heard an amnesty, he quickly put the pen in the stationery box, put away the schoolbag and homework book, and ran to the bathroom to wash his face.
Huang Hongliang stayed alone at home watching TV, and until 1:00 at night, he went to bed in a daze.
Now he has an extremely monotonous life, and only every time he picks up his son, some smiles appear on his face, which is almost like the New Year for him.
Although the TV show this night was boring, thinking that he would pick up his son tomorrow, he had a longing in his heart, looking forward to the sun rising soon tomorrow and seeing his son earlier.
The next morning, Huang Hongliang, who was looking forward to it, came to the agreed place early, and after parking the car on the side of the road, Huang Hongliang looked at his watch, it was only 11:15, and he arrived 15 minutes early.
He lit a cigarette and stood next to the car smoking a cigarette while waiting for his son.
After smoking the cigarette in his hand, the time was already 11:28, Huang Hong looked at the direction where his son should appear, but he couldn't see his son even though he wanted to see it.
Time passed minute by minute, it was already 11:40, and he still couldn't see his son come out, Huang Hongliang became more and more impatient, and he began to pace back and forth in the back of the car.
It's a good saying to meet at 11:30, I have come all the way here, and my son is a few steps downstairs, will it take so much time?
Huang Hongliang doesn't have a strong sense of time to do other things, but when it comes to picking up his son, he arrives early almost every time. At this time, he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had to wait for a long time to pick up his son the last few times, and the child was becoming more and more unpunctual, and he was late for more and more time.
There is another thing that makes Huang Hongliang feel the most uncomfortable, that is, every time this child sees him, he doesn't speak with a title, and he has a gloomy face all the time, completely lacking the lively and cute appearance of laughing and playing with himself when he was a child.
Thinking about it this way, the resentment that had accumulated in his heart in the past suddenly came out with anger at this moment, and he realized that this child lacked a kind of respect for himself as a father. This child would never have such an attitude with his classmates and teachers at school, but why would he be like this to himself as a father now?
Huang Hongliang's car was parked on the side of the busy road, and he stood alone in the back of the car, waiting like this, the expression on his face already showed obvious anger. Among the passers-by, many people looked at Huang Hongliang with strange eyes, as if they were very puzzled why this car and this grim-faced person were parked here and waiting here.
It was almost 12 o'clock, and Huang Hongliang, who was already angry, saw the belated figure of his son in the crowd. Seeing his son gradually approaching, Huang Hongliang stood motionless, he wanted to ask his son why he delayed coming down for half an hour.
His son came to him slowly with his schoolbag on his shoulder, glanced at Huang Hongliang, and found that his father's expression was not like before, there was no smile on his face, and he was a little weak-hearted and did not greet Huang Hongliang as usual, and stood without saying a word.
If this child came to Huang Hongliang and called Dad, maybe Huang Hongliang's anger would disappear. When Huang Hongliang came to pick up his son a few times ago, his son was late every time, but Huang Hongliang didn't realize these problems at the time, and he was happy to see his son, so he didn't pay much attention to his son's indifferent expression and attitude towards him.
But today he really couldn't help it, he felt that he had to talk to him about it, and he couldn't let him go on like this. So he asked with a gloomy face: "Do you know what time it is? I said that I was waiting for you here at 11:30, but now it's 12 o'clock, and you are half an hour late!"
His son stiffened his neck and said, "I have my own business, I have so much homework to write!"
In fact, his son was so late for so long, not because he had to do his homework at home, but because he had been struggling, whether to come or not?
In the end, he was reluctant to come, but he had to come, so he adopted such a method, using such actions as procrastination and tardiness to prove to his mother that he did not want to come to see his father. And Wang Jufen knew that Huang Hongliang was going to pick up her son at 11:30, but seeing that the time had come and her son was not moving, she let it go.
Huang Hongliang became even more angry when he heard this, this kid was late and still forced his words, and he didn't regret apologizing at all, he said sharply: "Whoever has nothing to do, he should be punctual, and you can come on time if you have homework to write! Isn't it the same if I take you home to write? I came so far on time, and you have to be late for these few steps from upstairs, what is the reason?"
As soon as his son saw that Huang Hongliang was angry, he turned his head to the side and stopped talking.
Huang Hongliang looked at his son's uneducated and unreverent appearance, and became more and more angry, he didn't care about being in the downtown area, there were many pedestrians watching on the side of the road, he pointed to his son's nose and asked: "Do you think who owes you? You have to make it clear that no one in this world owes you, and you owe it to others!"
He was really worried that his son would continue to develop like this, and even his parents didn't know how to respect him, so what kind of path he would take in society in the future?
After saying this, Huang Hongliang saw that his son didn't look at him, and he didn't react at all, he was like playing the piano to a cow. He yelled, "If you don't want to come, don't promise me." Now you go back to me, you can come back after you think clearly about what I told you today, and don't come back after you can't think clearly!"
Furious, he opened the car door and drove away.
He had never been so angry with his son, and this time he was really angry, he had already driven far away, and his hand was still trembling.
Huang Hongliang, who has been full of hope in his heart since last night, became desperate at this time. After returning home empty-handed, he was a little angry again, although he yelled at his son angrily just now, but he still felt that the problem was mainly Wang Jufen's, and he wanted to call her to communicate.
Thinking of Wang Jufen's face as a small citizen with clothes, Huang Hongliang felt disgusted from his heart, he was extremely reluctant, but he helplessly dialed Wang Jufen's phone, and the phone was connected, but it was his son's voice.
Huang Hongliang said: "Let your mother answer the phone, I'll tell her!"
After Huang Hongliang drove away in the car just now, his son was yelled at by him, turned around and went back to his grandmother's house with his schoolbag.
When Wang Jufen saw that her son was back again, she asked strangely, "Why are you back again? Didn't your father come to pick you up?"
As soon as Wang Jufen asked this, her son's aggrieved tears immediately fell, and he choked up and said, "My father said I was late, and he scolded me and told me to come back!"
When Wang Jufen heard this, she cheered up her son and said: "It's better if he doesn't come to pick him up, you won't go in the future, just stay at home with your mother! What else is he scolding you?"
Huang Hongliang failed to pick up his son, but Wang Jufen felt that it was a good thing, as long as her son was by her side, she would not care about what others felt.
"He asked me if I thought he owed me anything," her son said, "and he said that no one owes me, and that I owe someone else." ”
