The crimson sun lingers on the horizon, ready to be swallowed up by darkness at any moment.

On the straight street, a small figure snorted and ran, and the oblique sunlight stretched his shadow very long.

Xiao Yile has forgotten his original purpose of coming to the pet store, he keeps running, and there is only one thought in his mind - rush back before his parents start to quarrel, and he can't let his parents be separated no matter what.

Syllable!

He ran too fast, it was dark, his eyes were a little short-sighted, he accidentally stepped on an empty plastic bag, slipped and fell. Fortunately, the clothes he wore in winter were thick, and although he was hurt by the fall, he was not injured. If his parents were present, he would have cried coquettishly, and when his parents coaxed him, he would have taken the opportunity to ask for some benefits, but today he just stood up silently with his teeth gritted, patted the dirt on his clothes, and limped on.

The pet store is not far from his home, crossing the intersection and diagonally through the pathway, about ten minutes on foot, or ten minutes if he runs.

Running all the way into the community, he saw his newly purchased joint venture car parked downstairs - not surprisingly, his father and mother had already arrived home. The old grandfather and grandmother who came out for a walk frowned in disgust when they saw Xiao Yile, everyone knew that this kid was stubborn, and even the dog hated him.

Xiao Yile gasped and climbed up to the fifth floor of his house, took out the key to open the door, and because he was tired and nervous, he didn't poke into the keyhole twice until the third time.

He didn't even have time to pull out the key, threw his bag on the ground, and ran straight in.

The room was eerily quiet.

"I ...... I'm back!" he exclaimed, afraid he would be late.

"Hurry up and wash your hands, we'll have to wait a little while to eat." Mother Gu Le poked her head out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

"Where's my dad?" Yile looked at the living room, and there was no figure of his father Tian Yi.

Gu Le said angrily in the direction of the study, "As soon as I came back, I went into the study and pushed all the work to me! Why? Everyone goes to work at the same time, and I earn no less than him, so why do I do all the housework? Who doesn't want to sit down and watch TV as soon as I get home......

There was resentment in her chest, and her voice was naturally a little loud, and she originally wanted Tian Yi to hear it, so as to express her dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yile was so anxious that he waved his arm, "Mom, Mom, don't say it, my dad works very hard......"

"No, I'm going to talk about it today!" Gu Le became even more angry when he heard this, threw away his apron, crossed his waist and said: "He works hard, I'm still working hard!

"That's not the case...... Xiao Yile was so anxious that he was sweating, he regretted not asking the black and white kitten a few more words, and now he didn't know how to interject at all.

At this moment, the door of the study was opened, and Tian Yi, who vaguely heard the voice, walked out with a calm face and said angrily, "What did you say?"

"I said-" Gu Le has always eaten soft rather than hard, Tian Yi gave her a face, she would not swallow her anger, and she was about to lose her temper when she stared at her.

Xiao Yile closed his eyes tightly, and shouted loudly with the courage that he didn't know from nowhere: "I have something to tell you!"

His sudden voice startled his parents, and the anger that had just risen was blown out of the clouds, and they looked at each other in amazement, trying to find out the reason from each other's eyes.

Xiao Yile shouted, and the anxiety and depression in his chest were vented with this voice. His chest slumped together, and with each breath, his courage seemed to increase.

His last suspicions about the black and white kitten vanished - it was right, the parents did quarrel, and if he followed his usual grinding on the way home alone, it would be too late for him to get home.

"Yile, what do you want to say?" Tian Yi was the first to come back to his senses, and his tone became more normal.

Gu Le didn't speak, but he also looked at him with concern.

Now, it's too late to regret it, even Xiao Yile, a bear child, knows that if he says it's okay now, it's to tease you, I'm afraid their anger will explode even harder, just like the black and white kitten said, turning out some old accounts, such as children's education problems......

He walked over with his head down, pulled up his father's sleeve, led him to the couch and sat down, and then pulled his mother over and sat down across from him.

"Wait a minute. He went into the kitchen, grabbed a handful of tea leaves from the tea canister and put it in his father's usual teacup, brewed tea with boiling water, brought it back to the living room, and placed it on the coffee table in front of his father.

"You've had a hard day. He stood up straight and bowed to his father.

Tian Yi was really in a bad mood today, he encountered something very unpleasant at work, and he thought that his position as department manager was snatched away by others. He was impulsive, and when he got home, he locked himself in the study to write a letter of resignation, but he heard Gu Le babbling in the living room endlessly-anger and resentment rushed to his head at once!

He walked out of the study to quarrel with Gu Le, he couldn't hold it anymore, he had to find a target to vent, no matter what, and his wife was obviously the best target.

However, Xiao Yile's performance made his brain become very empty all of a sudden, and the anger and resentment that had accumulated into pimples melted like frost meeting the scorching sun, melting into a warm current and pouring into his heart.

This is the first time that his son has made tea for him and greeted him for the first time, and he has only one thought in his heart -- his son has grown up and is sensible! Compared with the following, what is the point of whether the job can be promoted? If it doesn't work this time, won't there still be a chance next time?

On the other hand, although Gu Le was also very happy, her heart was faintly tingling, even her son thought that his father's work was harder? Could it be that everything she usually paid for the family was ignored?

Xiao Yile walked up to her again, bowed and said, "Mom, I'm sorry." ”

"I'm sorry...... Why are you sorry? Are you naughty again? Did the teacher ask you to invite parents again?" Gu Le's temper came up again. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, she quietly gave the teacher a shopping card of 500 yuan and was returned, she felt that she had no bottom in her heart, and this child was causing trouble to the teacher!

Tian Yi, who was savoring happiness, was very dissatisfied with her attitude, and said in a deep voice: "What are you anxious about? Let the child finish his words first." ”

Gu Le glared at him and temporarily suppressed his temper.

Tian Yi pulled Xiao Yile to sit down next to him, and said softly: "Yile, don't be afraid, just say anything about it." ”

With his father's encouragement, Xiao Yile gained some courage. He shook his head, "The teacher didn't let the parents be invited, but I have some things to tell you, some things that you don't know." ”

"Say it, Mom and Dad will listen and won't interrupt you. Tian Yi put his hand on his shoulder.

Xiao Yile hung his head very low, and the long-hidden emotions and words poured out like a flood of opening the floodgates, although some of the preambles did not match the words due to excitement, but he could still understand it in general. He told a lot of things, including that he was naughty and didn't get noticed, including that he bullied his classmates at school and that they dared not speak out......

Finally, I talked about what happened that evening. He confessed his thoughts, and at that time he thought that his mother did not care about him, so he planned to run across the street and hide to punish his mother, make her anxious, make her succumb, and come out when she was too anxious to do something, and get some advantage for himself - he planned so, but was stopped by the manager of the pet store, and then he had an idea, and by slandering the man for bad intentions, he also won his mother's attention again.

Gu Le and Tian also frowned when they heard this, they were usually busy with work, but they thought that their children's education was still in place. Sometimes they listen to their colleagues tell some stories of bear children and scoff at them, but they don't expect that their own bear children are more bears than anyone else! Especially when they hear the last thing, they are shocked.

"When you cross the street, you have to wait for the green light, you have to take the crosswalk, don't run, why don't you kid listen!" Gu Le shouted in a hurry.

Tian Yi interrupted her, "Don't talk about this yet. ”

He turned his head and asked Xiao Yile, "Yile, is this true?

Gu Le had a headache due to the sudden influx of too many impactful things, and she held her forehead and said, "I told you, look at your memory, do you take my words as a deaf ear?"

Tian Yi was in no mood to argue with her about these details now, so he asked Xiao Yile again, "Think about it, what day is this?"

"It's the day my mother's mobile phone screen broke, and the next day she bought a new mobile phone, and then you discussed buying a ......car," Xiao Yile replied in a low voice.

Tian Yi remembered that there was indeed such a thing, at that time, Gu Le told that a strange man stopped Xiao Yile halfway, and she insisted on putting buying a car on the agenda on the grounds that she was worried about the danger of walking to and from school. Tian Yi felt that it made sense at the time, and although the family's financial conditions were not too well-off, he still agreed. He never expected that the real version of the story was not like this, if it wasn't for the man who stopped Xiao Yile in time, with Xiao Yile's usual recklessness, the consequences would be really unimaginable......

"I really can't talk about you......" he sighed heavily to Gu Le, "If you don't figure things out, you will indiscriminately wronged people, it will chill the hearts of good people." ”

Gu Le knew that he had done something wrong, but he still resisted and said, "With you present, you can trust a stranger?"

"At least I won't just wrong...... Tian Yi shook his head, and immediately said: "Forget it, the matter has happened, don't mention it again, now we have to think of a remedy...... All the students who have been bullied by Yile, the three of us have to go to the door together to apologize. As for pet shop owners...... Let's go together for a weekend. ”

Gu Le bit her lip, although she felt embarrassed to face the pet store owner again, she did not object.

Xiao Yile peeked at their faces and asked cautiously, "You guys...... Won't you scold me?"

"We won't scold you, because that's not something that can be solved by scolding you. We are also responsible for these things. Tian Yi took his hand and said earnestly: "But Yile knows that you can correct your mistakes, you are still a good child, and your parents are very happy and will accompany you to correct these mistakes." In the days to come, you must open your heart to us as you do today, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Yile's tears burst out of his eyes.

Gu Le came over and hugged the father and son into his arms.
