Chapter 31 The Enlightenment of Contract Consciousness

The next day when I came back from a walk outside, my son was still sleeping, and I rummaged through his schoolbag and looked at the poor homework he had written, which was ridiculous. At eleven o'clock, my mother called and asked me to go over for dinner. I quickly tossed my son out of the bed. At my mother's house, I said, "Joy, how is your homework going to Dalian?"

The son's face turned red.

"It was purely a frustration, so I moved on the first day. The wife said.

The son leaned forward in a panic, calmed down, and said, "Dad, I'll make up for your homework as soon as possible." ”

"Nope. "My voice is like a bell.

My son never thought I would be like this. His face seemed to come out of the fire and into a pool of water, red and white. I touched his head and said, "It's not for me to make up for my homework, but to empower you." ”

A faint smile crossed his son's lips. After lunch, my son went out to play, and I went home.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, in the midst of the beautiful scenery like a burning cloud, "Isn't that my son, why do you come home so early?" I stood at the corner of the room, not believing my eyes.

"Daddy, Daddy," the son shouted from afar, "I have something to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Grandma is going to Yinchuan Second Aunt's house to ask me if I want to go, will you let me go?"

"Do you agree with it yourself?"

"Alas, it's all those who died of work!" said the son, helplessly.

"Doing homework is like eating for students, how can they walk a long way if they can't eat enough?" I said, "I am dying of hunger when I go to Dalian for my homework, and I will be completely hopeless when I go to Yinchuan again." ”

My son stood dumbfounded, and he understood what I meant. I reached out and patted him lightly on the back and said, "You don't want your homework to starve to death, do you?"

When the son entered the house, the wife was startled and got up from the couch. He said, "I came back so early today." The wife stepped forward and kissed her son's face, hoping that he would say something, but he didn't say anything, turned around and went to do his homework. "Oh, I know how to do my homework. There was a joy in his wife's tone.

"Grandma wanted to take him to Yinchuan, and he asked me if I could go, and I said that he had missed too much homework. ”

"I said, you can't go to Yinchuan. The wife said

"It depends. I said.

At eleven o'clock, my son went to bed. This is the first time he has written more than four hours of assignment in a row. He shouted, "Daddy, come here, I'll discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter?" I asked as I went to his bedroom.

"Can I go to Yinchuan with my grandmother after I finish my homework?"

There was a taste of pure emptiness in his son's eyes. I thought: Purity comes from the vision of finishing the homework, and vanity comes from the repentance of not completing the homework.

"Just get your things done as planned. I said.

The next day, my son got up at 8 a.m., wrote his homework until noon, finished eating, went out to play, and went home at 4 p.m. to continue writing, and stopped playing games. At nine o'clock in the evening, my son and I went to my mother's house. My mother said that if Wang Xile could finish her homework on August 15, she would go to Yinchuan to live together for ten days. Son says:

"Grandma, I'm going to get my homework back. ”

When I came out of my grandmother's house, I thought it was ten o'clock. "Joy, Daddy wants to discuss something with you. I said.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't think you're playing games as fanatically as you used to be some time ago. ”

"Sort of,"

"Playing games irregularly is not good for the body and for studying, I want to play on Wednesdays and Fridays, and don't play at other times?"

The son, who had always liked words, stopped talking all of a sudden. He walked to the wall on the side of the road, and his emotions dropped to freezing point. After walking for a while, he muttered, "I had a good time last semester, didn't I make progress in my studies?!"

By the light of the road, I saw tears on my son's face. At this moment, I felt that for him, it was not just a matter of games, but the fear and loneliness of life. And all this is due to his own weakness, and it seems that he can only resign himself to fate.

I went over and took his hand and said, "Adjust the time to play with the computer because the computer has radiation." Like smoking and drinking, it is very harmful to children who are growing up, so I suggest it to you. Looking at the tears on my son's face, I felt that his psychology was a little unbearable, so I changed my words and said: "Joy, if you don't change it during the holidays, can you change it again at the beginning of the second grade?"

"Okay. The son wiped away his tears and whispered.

It was very hot for a few days, and the adults were so hot that they didn't know what to do, but the children were a different scene. Since his son had the idea of going to Yinchuan, he got up early every day to do his homework, and after lunch, he went outside to play in the scorching midday sun. My wife and I were patient, suppressed our anger, and kept persuading, but not only did we not take the matter, but he played more and more fiercely. It turned out that after eating at noon, he was still rubbing with the adults for a while before going out, but now he runs away as soon as he pushes the rice bowl. Fortunately, he was able to come back at 4 p.m. every day to do his homework. Thinking that such a young child can have such self-control, no matter how fierce he plays, he feels that it is still cute.

The good times didn't last long, and after a week or so, everything changed. On that day, my son got up early to write his homework for a while, ran out to play, and didn't come back until he watched cartoons in the afternoon, and played games at night and stopped doing his homework.

"Joy, you can't hold on to your plan?

"If you don't go, you can't do it. ”

When I heard this, I choked with anger, and I felt a fire in my heart. I said, "It's not your business to go to Yinchuan alone, you have promised grandma." Male dolls speak to count. ”

"What's wrong if it doesn't count, I don't want to go to Yinchuan anyway. ”

My sixth feeling was teased by my son's irresponsible words. He was a pure child, and what he said was by no means the origin of his heart. What was it that made him change so much? It seems that something deep in society that was deeply moral began to affect him.

"Rejoice, go, read three times' Unexpected Cruelty. ’”

"Why, why read it three times?"

The sixth feeling is correct. The son is no longer the same king Xile as he used to be. I stood silently, a hand-to-hand battle between education and growth. In the past, he read 'Unexpected Brutality' and never asked "why". I could hear my son's rapid breathing clearly. To say that he stood there waiting for my answer is not so much a challenge to the former's educational power.

I had no idea. I said, "Joy, you have made a big mistake. You read it first, and I'll tell you why when you're done?"

The son read it.

Learning to love yourself is the essence of education. He who speaks does not count will never love himself. After a while, the sound of my son's reading was gone. He came to the living room and asked, "Dad, why did you read it three times?"

"Joy, are there any heroes and heroes such as Li Shimin and Qin Qiong in the Sui and Tang Dynasty stories who don't count?"

"Nope. ”

"Who is the person who doesn't count when he speaks?"

"Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng. ”

"Do you want to be like that?"

"I don't want to. ”

"Children don't count when they talk, and when they grow up, they will become people like Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng. I said, "Are some of the older kids you play with who talk a lot and don't count and like to take advantage of small things?"

"Dad, how do you know?"

"There were also those among the dozens of children that my dad played with when he was a child, and they had the worst fate when they grew up. Two of them were shot dead between 1983 and 1984 for their crimes. ”

"I see. The son said.

"You're doing your homework now, not only for yourself, but also for your grandmother. I hope that through your efforts, my grandmother's wish to go to Yinchuan will be fulfilled. ”

"I'll fight for it!"

After he finished speaking, he went into the study to do his homework.

The child's willpower is fragile and short-lived. Now Wang Xile takes up too much time watching cartoons and playing games, so he has to think of a way as soon as possible. So I decided to take him to learn to swim, because swimming is very physically demanding, and it is fun, and it may have good results.

The next day he said he was going to go swimming, but the little one was very happy. Indeed, playing in the water is something that every child loves, where the series of activities is spontaneous, and the content of the play is always fresh, and there is never a dull time. A group of little guys, in the shallow pool, happily make each other bad, as if whoever does something more "lacking morality" is comfortable. This kind of activity is most suitable for the son, who laughs the loudest and is the most presumptuous. Before I knew it, after three or four hours, my son couldn't play anymore, and when I got home, I asked him to lie down on the bed with me for a while, and he fell asleep until more than ten o'clock at night. After many days of swimming, I managed to reclaim some time from the game and the cartoon.

August 14th. My mother asked with concern, "Xixi, how is the homework?" In the morning, the second aunt called to ask. ”

"I'm not done!" said the son, grimacing.

"How many more?" said my mother.

The son was silent.

"Joy, grandma asked you, how much homework has not been written, let's discuss. I said.

"There are still nine diaries, five math sheets, ten pages of language and a few pages of words that I haven't practiced. ”

"Not much. I said, "There are still 13 days before you leave school, and if you insist on writing a diary, half a page of mathematics, one page of Chinese, and one page of practicing words in Yinchuan every day to complete your homework, I wonder if you can do it?"

"It can be done. The son paused for a moment and said.

"Now that you have confidence, you will go to Yinchuan tomorrow. ”

The son immediately dialed the phone at his second aunt's house. Listening to him and his second aunt laughing, I felt very happy and happy in front of the child......

On August 25, my grandmother and son returned from Yinchuan. Wang Xile's second brother-in-law works in the Civil Aviation Administration, and this trip to Yinchuan took him to many places to play. When his excitement fell, I said, "It's good to play, and you've finished your homework in two days before school starts?"

When the son heard the homework, his head drooped.

"It's really sad for Xixi to write homework," the mother said, "The second aunt and the second aunt promise every day to go somewhere to play after writing homework, and the promise is good, but when it comes to writing homework, it seems to kill him, and I don't know why Xixi is so afraid of writing!"

"Who said I was scared. The son argued.

"How many more?" I asked.

"Four diaries, two pages of language. ”

"It's much better than going to Dalian. You are a child with self-control, and you have worked hard to finish your homework in the past two days. With that, I stepped forward and kissed him on the forehead.

On the night of August 27, something invisible was crumbling in my heart. It's ten o'clock, and my son hasn't come back yet, so I said that I should go to the building to play no later than nine o'clock, and school will start tomorrow.

"It's ten o'clock, and my son hasn't come back yet," said the wife, biting her lower lip, "Alas! ”

"My son has grown up. His heart was changing rapidly. I said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

When I left the house, I was about to go to the building community to look for a trip, and under the street lamp at the back door of the hospital, a familiar figure appeared. It could be that it's dark, or maybe the son is still indulging in something to play. He walked past me and didn't notice me, and I couldn't help but shout that he found out. He said, "Dad, what are you doing here at such a late hour?"

"Do you know it's late?" I said, "if you don't come back, your mother will scold me for you." ”

"I'm fine. ”

As soon as I entered the house, I said, "Why did you come back so late, knowing that you have to go to school tomorrow?" The wife said with a tense face.

"It's because I'm going to school tomorrow that I have time to play. ”

"It's really a wild child, what are you doing when you sleep outside?"

"Come back to Mom. The son pounced on his wife.

"Gotta get it, don't coax me, just like your son. Hurry up and take a shower. His wife led him into the bathroom, where there was occasional laughter.

"Joy, are you done with your summer homework?" I asked my son after taking a shower.

"It's over. However, it is not very safe. ”

"Why?"

"The quantity is done, the quality is not good. The first thing the teacher will do tomorrow is to check my homework, God bless me for a good luck. ”

"God forbid. "My son's heart is indeed changing, I think.

There was no need to be on time on the first day of school, but my son seemed to have something to look forward to and woke us up early. I think that every child loves school from an early age, why is it that people are so tired of school in the second half of junior high school?

At noon, we were sitting in the yard of my mother's house when we heard the sound of "hahaha" laughter coming from outside. "Listen, your son's laughter is terrifying," said the wife. As soon as my son entered the courtyard, he said, "Dad, great news: I have passed my homework!"

"If you pass the job, how can it be great news?" I asked.

"It's too dangerous!" Teacher Liu hesitated after reading the homework before saying that it was qualified, and I was so happy that I didn't know where to go," the son said, "Dad, where do you guess I went?"

I guessed that there were several places where my son was not right. He finally said: "I happily ran to the toilet and peed the wall. After saying "hahaha", my wife and I laughed too......
