If there is an afterlife (novella) Zhang Baotong

Teacher Xu rushed over when he heard the news, grabbed Li Xiuying's arm, and pleaded, "Li Xiaole's mother, you can't do this, this is the school, you can't mess around like this." Li Xiuying said, "I didn't mess around, I want to teach him a good lesson, so that he can't bully my children in the future." Teacher Xu grabbed Li Xiuying and said, "We will take care of this matter, but you can't do this." Matters between children should be handled by our teachers. ”

Li Xiuying was tightly grasped by Teacher Xu, and there was no way, so she asked, "Then what do you say should be done with this matter?" Teacher Xu said, "I have understood the matter clearly, it was Yang Duanduan who bullied Li Xiaole, I can ask him to apologize to Li Xiaole, and promise not to bully Li Xiaole in the future." Li Xiuying thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'm going to listen to his apology and assurances now." ”

At this time, the class bell rang and the students entered the classroom. Teacher Xu asked Li Xiuying to sit in the office, and then went into the classroom and called Yang Duanduan and Li Xiaole to the office. Teacher Xu said to Yang Duanduan, "The words you said to Li Xiaole yesterday hurt Li Xiaole a lot, and you also dug out his face. Can you recognize your mistake?" Yang Duanduan nodded and said, "I know. Teacher Xu said, "Are you willing to apologize to Li Xiaole and promise not to bully him in the future?" Yang Duanduan said, "I am willing to apologize and assure." Teacher Xu said, "Then you apologize and promise Li Xiaole now." Yang Duanduan said to Li Xiaole, "Li Xiaole, I won't say anything like that to you in the future, and I won't bully you anymore." Li Xiaole said, "We should treat each other well." Yang Duanduan said, "I know." Teacher Xu said to Yang Duanduan, "You have to do what you say." Yang Duanduan said, "I can do it." Teacher Xu said to Li Xiuying, "Okay, you go back, we should go to class." Li Xiuying said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu." Then he left school.

Li Xiuying still worked underground as always, going to the edge of the ditch to pick up the rubbish. However, she still values the child's three meals a day. She saw that the child's body was not as strong as other people's children, and she could not give the child some nutritious food like other people's families. Therefore, she can only make three meals a day for her children.

Students always go to school before dawn and come back for breakfast at ten o'clock. After breakfast, I went to school, and when it was one o'clock, I went home for lunch. Then I went to school until three o'clock in the afternoon. No matter how busy Li Xiuying is a day, she must make these three meals well, and let her children love to eat and eat well as much as possible. Because in her mind, her children's school is the top priority in the family. She knows that she is busy working in this field, and this is how she will be for the rest of her life, but the child is different, if the child grows up and is admitted to the university, goes to the city to find a job, and becomes a big official, then it is a good situation for their family to get ahead and raise their eyebrows.

After harvesting wheat and planting corn, Li Xiuying went out early every morning with a small rake and snakeskin bag, and came to the garbage mountain to start picking up rubbish. When the sun rose in the middle of the sky, she came back to cook, and when the meal was ready, she ate it herself, and waited for the child to come back to eat. Sometimes, when she is too busy, she puts the rice in a hot pot so that she can eat it by herself when the child comes back. I went down to the field or to the garbage dump and started working.

That afternoon, Li Xiaole got out of school early, and when he returned home to see that his mother was not at home, he came to the edge of the ditch. At this time, Li Xiuying was making corn cobs in the field. Li Xiaole shouted, "Mom, I'll help you work." When Li Xiuying heard this, she asked, "Why did you come back so early?" Li Xiaole said, "It's not early, it's already out of school." Li Xiuying said, "Then why don't you stay at home and do your homework." Li Xiaole said, "The homework was finished in school. ”

Li Xiuying said, "You can't do this job, the corn leaves are very sharp, and they will cut your arm." Li Xiaole said, "Don't be afraid, I'm wearing long-sleeved clothes." But Li Xiuying said, "This work is very tiring, you are too young to do it." Li Xiaole said, "This work is not tiring, our classmates are all helping the family." Li Xiuying was a little angry when she saw that the child was disobedient, and said, "Go back to the house and study, don't stay here." Li Xiaole saw that her mother was a little angry, so she left very incomprehensibly.

Another time, Li Xiaole was also fine at home after school in the afternoon, and wanted to help his mother, who was in her fifties after all, tired all day, and her waist and back were a little bent. On this day, Li Xiuying was picking up waste products by the garbage heap. When the child came to her, he asked, "Why are you here if you don't stay in the house?" Li Xiaole said, "I finished my homework and want to come over to help you." As soon as Li Xiuying heard this, she immediately straightened her face and said, "Are you doing my job?" He didn't understand, other people's mothers were very happy to see their children come to help, and praised their children for being sensible. But that's how his mother is. Therefore, when I ate at night, I ignored my mother with a straight face.

After eating, Li Xiuying saw that the child was unhappy and knew that the child was angry with her. So, she pulled the child to her side, touched the child's head with her hand and said, "My good girl, my mother always hopes that you can stay by your mother's side, and my mother also hopes that you can help your mother to be filial to your mother, but you know why your mother doesn't want you to work, and she doesn't want you to go to the garbage dump, because your mother doesn't want you to be a farmer like your mother when you grow up." Mom is afraid that you will always follow your mother to work in the fields, pick up the rags, and slowly lose your ambition, and you will not be able to become a big tool in the future. You see, all those birds that are chirping and flying around in the woods all day long, which one can fly high in the sky? So, Mom hopes that you will be okay and can stay in the house and read and study. As long as your mother can see that you are reading and studying, your mother will be happy no matter how hard and tired she is. Hearing this, Li Xiaole nodded sensibly.
