Xiao Mu's crying was still the same, and he didn't mean to stop at all, and even cried more and more.

His crying was not because he was simply beaten and scolded by Zhang Laohan, but because he felt cold, not only on his skin, but also in his heart.

Zhang Laohan put down the guy in his hand and leaned over to pick up Xiao Mu.

But Xiao Mu did not comply, but struggled to break free of Zhang Laohan's hands, sat on the ground and continued to cry.

Looking at Xiao Mu, who was exhausted, Zhang Laohan didn't feel distressed, but he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what to do to make Xiao Mu stop crying.

The cold wind howled outside the door, blowing the square inch and chilling the hearts of the people; inside the house, the crying eyes wiped the tears, the crying woke up the family, and the crying heartfelt voice.

Zhang Laohan sat upright, feeling very melancholy, and smoked vigorously.

For a long time, Zhang Laohan comforted Xiao Mu calmly.

"Child, don't cry, my grandfather shouldn't be like this, it's my fault that I'm too careless. ”

As Xiao Mu said, other children are dressed brightly and love hair and fur, but Xiao Mu only envy others, which will undoubtedly produce a shadow in his heart.

A pair of gloves for two yuan was not expensive, but Zhang Laohan's family was living in poverty at that time.

Even though Xiao Mu couldn't cry silently, Zhang Laohan did not forget to educate.

"Kid, do you know why I hit you?"

Of course, Xiao Mu also knew, and nodded.

But Zhang Han beat Xiao Mu not because he simply took two yuan, but because Xiao Mu learned to steal things and learn to speak.

In Zhang Laohan's view, this is a very bad start, which means that there will be a second time if there is a first time, and if the first time is not corrected, it will become more and more serious in the future.

That's why Zhang Laohan will fight Xiao Mu without mercy.

Of course, Xiao Mu didn't seem to understand these big truths at that time, and he couldn't fully absorb them.

Xiao Mu never thought that Zhang Laohan would be so ruthless to himself, he thought that he would only simply criticize himself, after all, it was not much money, but unfortunately he was wrong.

Zhang Laohan let Xiao Mu get up and tried his best to make Xiao Mu stop crying, after all, he was also very distressed.

Subsequently, I went back to the room and found some warmer clothes for Xiao Mu.

I don't know whose it is, I don't know when, it doesn't look suitable for children, but for adults or middle-aged people, and it's a little shabby.

Hand it to Xiao Mu and let Xiao Mu wear it to school.

But Xiao Mu was repulsed in his heart, he wore this clothes like an old man.

"I don't want to wear it, it's such an old-fashioned dress, it's not suitable for children. ”

Zhang Laohan sighed with admiration, "Child, it's good to buy you new clothes for the New Year, you will wear them, you don't know the current conditions of our family, at least you won't be cold when you wear them." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Mu remembered the scene where he was shivering from the cold, and felt a little scared, so he reluctantly picked out a few smaller, well-fitting clothes inside.

The next day, Xiao Mu came to school wearing the clothes given to him by Zhang Laohan.

But he didn't wear cloth shoes, and he looked weird and incongruous.

Fortunately, the clothes are very warm, which is the only reason for Xiao Mu to wear those clothes.

It doesn't matter if the cold wind blows.

However, it is not a good thing for Xiao Mu to dress like this.

"Damn, how do you wear such old milk clothes. Guo Yang said in shock.

Xiao Mu naturally knew what the effect was, but what could he do?

Xiao Mu was very angry, "Get out, I still have to care about what I dress, master!"

Although Xiao Mu only looked a little angry, it was more uncomfortable in his heart, which was an invisible injury.

What's more, this came out of Guo Yang's mouth, not from someone else's mouth, which is what makes Xiao Mu's heart ache the most.

During the recess, Xiao Mu unexpectedly heard many classmates in the class talking about herself, saying that the clothes she was wearing were very old-fashioned and she couldn't afford to wear cloth shoes.

This made Xiao Mu not know what to do, and he didn't dare to leave the seat for half a step, so he had to curl up on the seat, leaning against the wall, and his little red feet couldn't help but be retracted, not daring to let others see it.

It was a feeling that he still remembers vividly.

He said: "I will never forget the image of being pointed at by my classmates at that time. ”

This incident deeply burned Xiao Mu's young heart, not to mention a child, that feeling is difficult for an adult to accept.

In class that day, Xiao Mu was absent-minded, unable to give up, and didn't know where the teacher had spoken, and all he thought about was the sighs and ridicule of his classmates.

When it was time for school to get out, Xiao Mu didn't say hello to Guo Yang, and returned home listlessly with a tired body and mind in slippers alone.

When I got home, I didn't talk to Zhang Laohan, and quietly returned to the room and lay down.

Zhang Laohan felt that something was wrong, and wondered if he had been beaten too seriously yesterday, so did it cause physical discomfort, after all, he had such a criminal record before.

Zhang Laohan hurriedly ran to Xiao Mu's room, greeted Xiao Mu coldly, and asked him if he was uncomfortable.

But none of the questions were asked, and Zhang Laohan was a little anxious and a little angry.

"Say, what's the matter, I can solve it. Zhang Laohan said to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu said it at this time.

"They bullied me, they said I was wearing too dirty, it made me embarrassed, and they said I couldn't even afford to wear a pair of cloth shoes. ”

After speaking, Xiao Mu's eyes were filled with tears, and she almost didn't cry.

Zhang Laohan took Xiao Mulou into his arms, he didn't know how to comfort him, he also knew that this should not be what Xiao Mu could bear, nor should he bear it, but everything was because there was no way, everything was helpless.

After a long time, Xiao Mu slowly fell asleep, and Zhang Laohan went out after covering Xiao Mu with the quilt.

When he arrived in the kitchen, he took out a cigarette stick, squinted his eyes, and said to the old man: "Old man, Xiao Mu was bullied at school, how is this good?"

The old man sighed, "What should I do, what can I do?" ”

Zhang Laohan paused for a long time, "You say, am I too harsh and strict with Xiao Mu, shouldn't I be like that last night, should I tell him well?"

Now the old man is energetic, "That's it, you beat the child at every turn, he is bullied outside, you are still like this at home, can this child stand it? I said you are real, hey!"

The old man kept complaining about Zhang Laohan, but Zhang Laohan didn't refute it, he felt that he was a failure, he was incapable of taking care of Xiao Mu, and failed to give him a good growth environment.

Although it is self-blame in every way, it is not easy to give children a good environment for growth.
