Chapter 25: Love and Freedom

Gao Yanyan was determined to change from the beginning of preparing to conceive a new life, not to let her children be like her childhood, always spent in reprimands, yelling and even punishment, so she took precautions, participated in various workshops and learned various theories from the beginning of pregnancy, but the purpose of each school is similar, emphasizing "love and freedom" and the stimulation of various internal motivations.

When Yu Xiaotong was young, she grew up in such an environment, and before entering elementary school, although the mother and daughter had some conflicts, they could always either be solved or give in slightly, which was not a big deal, Gao Yanyan has always been very satisfied with Xiaotong, the child is kind and warm, she thinks it is enough, she is full of confidence in Xiaotong's future, basically, she can be regarded as a loving mother.

Until Yu Xiaotong went to elementary school, their lives were completely turned upside down.

The teacher's various praises and anonymous criticisms in the group, Gao Yanyan had to be forced to self-reflect first, and all kinds of exams and tests, those love and freedom are losing and retreating in such an atmosphere, and there is no way to retreat, the mother and daughter finally quarrel often in order to learn this matter, Yu Xiaotong doesn't care, Gao Yanyan has a so-called, and Yu Bowen rides the wall very undisciplined.

"She's only in the third grade," Yu Bowen said, "don't push her too hard"

Gao Yanyan said angrily: "Yu Bowen, if you can have half of your child's attention to your mobile phone, how can we do this." ”

So Yu Bowen tried to tutor a week's homework, this week, the father and daughter had no disputes, in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, Gao Yanyan did not do the final check.

So this week, Yu Xiaotong was detained for three days, and the head teacher chatted with Gao Yanyan alone, and Gao Yanyan asked the teacher to find Yu Bowen under the pretext of a business trip.

Yu Bowen said sarcastically: "This is too demanding, when we were in school before, how could we need this." Gao Yanyan really had no choice, so she had to take it again.

If Gao Yanyan didn't have any culture, she probably wouldn't have so many requirements; if Gao Yanyan's heart was more relaxed, she wouldn't be so anxious; or, if their family was so rich that Yu Xiaotong had no worries, Gao Yanyan wouldn't have forced Xiaotong to move forward so much.

Gao Yanyan and Yu Bowen's families are the most ordinary families, they worked hard, and finally had a little space to gain a foothold in this society, it was precisely because they had seen the most ordinary life, and even seen a difficult life, and then, they also got a glimpse of a better life, for Yu Xiaotong's future life, they were so full of anxiety and tension.

As parents, they don't want Yu Xiaotong to fall into the group of people who are struggling to survive, so they, especially Gao Yanyan, are very concerned about Yu Xiaotong's schoolwork, and even anxious.

In a province like them, which is a big college entrance examination, more than half or even two-thirds of the people will be shunted in junior high school, and this proportion makes every parent tremble, as if facing a big enemy.

Yu Xiaotong's children are still puffed up on the bus, she is very aggrieved, since she went to elementary school, her whole life has changed, and she is no longer the little baby who is loved by everyone in the family, her mother will only ask her if she has finished her homework, whether she has practiced the piano, and her father will only ask her how many points she scored in the exam, and then take her to watch TV and play games.

She has to get up before dawn every day, is urged to get up and wash and go out, and when she comes home after a busy day of school, she has to write homework, practice piano, write intensive exercises arranged by Gao Yanyan, and on weekends, she has a variety of interest classes and online schools one after another.

She's tired too, okay!

It's hard to take a vacation! I have to write, write, write, write, are you a pencil!" she muttered.

Yu Xiaotong feels like a little bee written in a book, her legs are covered with pollen, she can't fly, her mother used to be very gentle with her, and she basically responds to requests, how did it become like this!

She hated such a mother very much.

Gao Yanyan also hated herself very much, after arguing with Yu Xiaotong that day, she couldn't suppress her emotions anymore and cried at home.

Yu Bowen, who was absent, Yu Xiaotong, who was spoiled by herself, and had to give up her career made her feel extremely powerless.

Yelling herself, her face is hateful, she hates herself like this, she can't accept herself like this, Gao Yanyan feels that she is a failed mother, she has learned so many theories, but she still can't do it, and she still becomes the most hated by her.

Before getting married, Gao Yanyan was a very promising activist in the workplace, working hard, but hoping to enter the middle level, but she still chose children between the workplace and her children.

I have to say that this world is cruel and unfair, she can't go all out to maintain the competitiveness of the workplace, so she was ruthlessly removed from the list of promotions and salary increases, and she threw herself on the child so wholeheartedly, Yu Xiaotong didn't appreciate it and even began to hate her.

Gao Yanyan, a middle-aged woman, felt the deep hurt from this world and society to middle-aged women, she worked hard to live and study, and worked hard to change, but life still forced her to become the most hated appearance for her.

Yu Xiaotong took the bus to the bottom station, she often takes this bus, so she is also familiar with the route, every day her grandmother takes her to and from school, it is this route.

In her backpack, the phone and watch rang several times, but she didn't answer, she guessed it must be her mother, but she didn't want to talk to her mother yet, so she wanted her to be anxious.

The bottom station of the No. 8 bus is the seaside square, Gao Yanyan and Yu Bowen used to take her to play almost every week, how happy she was at that time, Yu Xiaotong thought with tears, she didn't want this kind of life, it would be nice if she had been a kindergarten.

The seaside square was full of people, and the primary school student Yu Xiaotong began to be afraid, she had never left her parents to come so far away, she wandered and paced in the square, and soon attracted the attention of many people.

The teacher and her parents have said that there are bad people abducting and selling children, so when people began to ask her if she was lost, she walked away vigilantly, she took out the phone and watch from the small bag, thought about it, and still didn't want to talk to her mother, anger overshadowed her panic.

Gao Yanyan still couldn't forgive and accept herself after crying, but she took out her mobile phone and began to look up Yu Xiaotong's location, and after seeing the location, her panic overshadowed her anger.

Gao Yanyan immediately called Yu Bowen and asked him to go to the seaside square to meet him to find the child, and then went down to the basement and drove the car towards the seaside square.

On the way, Gao Yanyan made a few phone calls, but Yu Xiaotong still refused to answer, Gao Yanyan suppressed her anger and anxiety, and wanted to turn the car into a train.

Yu Bowen went fishing early in the morning, and his middle-aged father had the hobby of an elderly grandfather, although he immediately rushed back, but no matter how fast the bicycle was, it was very limited.

Yu Xiaotong didn't want to pick it up, she saw a cat, a very beautiful cat, she didn't know what breed this cat was, but it had soft and long hair, blue and green eyes, faint, she was itching, she had applied to raise a cat with Gao Yanyan since she was in kindergarten.

But Gao Yanyan always refused ruthlessly, on the grounds that she had already taken care of two people and didn't want to take care of one more cat, Yu Xiaotong didn't follow, Gao Yanyan took the initiative to apply to help them take care of the cat for a week when her friends went on a trip, but the result was just as Gao Yanyan expected, after the first two days of freshness, the replacement of cat food and water and the treatment of cat litter fell on her head.

So Yu Xiaotong said that whatever small animals he raised, he could be resolutely stopped and opposed by Gao Yanyan.

Yu Xiaotong followed, they used to come here often, but why have they never seen this cat, and they don't know which store has a pet, she is also very familiar with the store here, and she must ask whose pet it is, and when she comes next time, she will love to see it.

The beautiful cat did not enter the shops she was familiar with, but slowly led her up and down, walking for a while, walking for a while, walking for a while, walking for a while, walking for a while, and then walking to the door of a shop.

Yu Xiaotong has never been here, she has never seen this store, and she doesn't know that there are such twists and turns here, the teacher and her parents have said that they can't walk these small alleys, so she stood at the door and hesitated, this is not a serious store at first glance, the door is not open, only a curtain separates, and it is quiet inside, she doesn't dare to go in.

The cat stood at the door and looked at her, turned around and walked into the curtain, Yu Xiaotong looked at it for a while, turned around and wanted to leave, but her mother said that there were a lot of bad people outside, and this look is not a serious place.

She was just about to leave, when a big sister opened the curtain from the store and walked out, she smiled slightly and said, "Little sister, is there anything wrong with you?"

Yu Xiaotong looked at this big sister, she was definitely not a bad person, such a kind and kind smile, Yu Xiaotong's only little vigilance was instantly disintegrated by Yan Ruyu's smile, after all, she was still dissatisfied at the age of ten, and it was easy to be confused by such a seemingly kind person who didn't know what to do in secret.

In short, Yu Xiaotong followed Yan Ruyu in.

Gao Yanyan drove all the way to the parking lot of the seaside plaza with the upper limit of not speeding, and then followed the positioning to the middle of the square, and then couldn't find Yu Xiaotong, the positioning was there, but the person was not there, and the watch was not there.

Gao Yanyan was so anxious that when she saw someone, she asked if she had seen such a little girl, wearing a white down jacket, a ponytail, carrying a small red schoolbag, about the height of her shoulders, and wearing pink caterpillar shoes.

She remembered all the clothes Yu Xiaotong wore when she left home, but everyone said that she hadn't seen them, so she searched for them in the square over and over again, and walked around the shops one by one.
