Chapter 24 The Challenges of Internet Cafes

The week has gone by so fast, and it's Friday again. I met Teacher Liu at work at noon, and she said that Wang Xile had made significant progress in her homework this week, and she was concentrating on class, but she was playing too hard. It can be said that he is a typical player in the class and a leader in playing. In the previous period, I was playing animation cards, and these days I am playing yo-yo, and I am often late for recess.

When I came home from school in the afternoon, I told Mr. Liu what he said to Wang Xile, hoping that he would continue to have this good momentum. The son was very happy, said yes, and finished his homework early on Saturday and ran out to play.

At two o'clock, my wife finished her housework and went shopping with me. We wanted to go around the office compound because my son often played there, hoping to meet him. The view of the office compound is very beautiful. It was covered with pine trees, and it was verdant. As soon as I came out of the pine forest, the stadium opposite me heard the sound of a football match. In this cheering, the delicate youthful hearts of the girls are particularly pleasant.

To the west of the stadium, lies the Lake Tai of Gillan, which is as green as jade, with undulating microwaves, and is invisibly connected to the factories in the distance. The lake is full of hammer-hooked people.

With the help of the beautiful weather, the wife carried out a "carpet bombardment" on all the clothing stores on the street. When I went to the Silver Lake Market, I gasped, "How?" my wife asked.

I pointed with my hand, "Look, Wang Xile's bicycle is in front of the Internet café." "My head was buzzing, and all the beauty just now: the pine forest, the lake, the girl's slender youthful heart, all at once came to hell.

Pushing the door in, I saw my son giving guidance to a child. I said angrily, "Why did you go to the Internet café again?"

"Quick, hit this. Fast. My son was still pointing out, but he didn't hear me. I patted him on the shoulder, and my son turned around and jumped to the side in horror, "I didn't play a game" before he finished speaking, and he slapped his face before he could stand firmly, and he found his mother.

"Uncle, Wang Xile didn't play games, I asked him in. "I saw that it was Qi Peng.

Seeing so many adults and children in the game hall, I felt an unstoppable force rushing towards the game. I was very angry and wanted to get angry, but I didn't know why, so I had to smack my lips and say:

"Go home. ”

The thought of shopping was suddenly gone, and in the reprimand of my wife, we walked with our son to my mother's house not far away. Approaching his mother's house, the son may have felt frightened and ran away. I restrained myself, I really wanted to get rid of the burning anxiety, but that unpredictable dark cloud still enveloped my heart, and I couldn't get rid of it, and the closer I got to my mother's house, the tighter my heart became.

"It's all your fault. The wife said dejectedly, "I'm really worried about Wang Xile." Growing up like him, no one will be able to manage it in the future, let alone what will happen!"

My mind was on fire, and my usual thoughts vanished, or that that thing didn't exist. There is only one thought in my heart - I have to beat my son hard today.

When I entered the yard of my mother's house, I picked up a wooden stick and went straight to the door, and I panicked. Creamy lace lampshade on the roof, pastel colors. There are intimate things scattered here and there: a loveseat with the grandchildren's toys and scratches, a sweater with a needle on the left armrest, and a massager on the single sofa on the right. The serenity, kindness, and kindness that has always been present in this home will be shattered today by a violent rage. "Grandma save me, grandma save me. "My son was standing behind my mother, and I didn't know what to do.

"What's going on? What's going on? How can you beat Kiko?" asked my mother in a rough voice.

"He went to the Internet café to play games again. ”

"I didn't fight. ”

"Obviously, we called you back from the Internet café, and you dare to talk nonsense in front of adults, it's really bold, I have to beat you today. "I was enraged.

"As long as I'm alive, don't think about Xixi. "Mom is also anxious.

"He is my son and I have to be responsible for him. I shouted, "Mom, you can't take care of this." ”

It's the first time I've confronted her old man when she's grown so big. My heart was about to jump out. I pulled my mother away and waved the wooden stick in my hand, but the wooden stick was grabbed by my father from behind. My son took the opportunity to jump in front of me to the south side of the house. I broke free from my father's hand and walked towards my son again with the stick.

"Jianhua, I beg you not to fight Xixi!" the old mother cried out, and threw herself on the ground and hugged my feet, a few strands of silk fluttering in front of her old man's forehead. Only a harmonious and happy family can establish such a close family relationship, and the elderly will dedicate everything to their children regardless of gains and losses. I was very annoyed in my heart, hating that my educational ability was so shallow, which made my parents worry more.

The son snuggled up in the corner, his arms drooping, his eyes trembling with fear. His low voice was chilling, and his white face fell together with the bulging of his chest, "I didn't play, I just watched, I didn't play, I just watched." His lips opened slightly, and he defended himself in an unclear voice.

At this time, Qi Peng came, "Uncle, Wang Xile really didn't play games, I asked him to go in, and he has been standing next to me to give me instructions." ”

It seems that my son is a friend among his classmates.

Qi Peng's appearance made my head cool down quickly, "Forget it, I'm crazy!" I threw the wooden stick in my hand to the ground, and my mother let go of the hand holding my foot. I picked her up and walked out on my own. During this time, the matter of children was like a river flooding out of my heart.

It's five o'clock, the streets are still lively, those concentrated with the most advanced technical products, the most harmonious product aesthetics, the beauty of personalized beautiful women are no longer pleasant to the eye, and the heavy carts, the trembling of the road no longer cause me to complain. Passing by the reading building, the sound of the children reading seemed to laugh contemptuously at me, saying that there are only playthings in the world. I drifted away, the environment, the space, everything, a flash of thought from my consciousness. I dragged on my heels, my palms constantly slapping against the walls of the houses beside the road, and I walked aimlessly.

A few drops of cool water sprayed on my face, and I realized that I had arrived at the Desert Park Artificial Lawn Plaza. The beauty here brings back my sanity. This lawn was successfully planted by the agricultural and forestry horticulturist who did not know how many varieties he had to try, and each experiment was clear to me, a person who likes to walk. The beauty of the lawn adorned with small flowers that I have seen thousands of times makes my heart tremble today, as if it has brought me into a realm. The beauty of the horticulturist's love for flowers and plants has sublimated my feelings for the beauty of education.

When the sun went down, I came home and saw that my wife and son had returned from my mother. "Hey, why don't you go out and play?" I said.

My son heard my voice "soar" from one end of the couch to the other, then stood up and hid in the corner of his clothes with his hand, and could see that he was terrified. "Okay, don't think about the afternoon, I won't beat you, I just want to know the specific situation. I said.

The son looked a little sad, his eyes moved everywhere, like a lost lamb in the woods, there were roads in every direction around him, but none of them were his own, and there was only loneliness in the depths of his eyes. I said, "Come, joy." ”

"I don't dare. He whispered.

"What are you afraid of if you didn't do anything wrong? In the afternoon, Dad was in a hurry, and it was Daddy's fault. ”

The son then came cautiously.

"Can you tell us about that?" I said.

The son was silent for a while and said, "Dad, I've been to the Internet café three times since last time. The first time was when Qi Peng's uncle asked me in, and the second time was when Qi Peng asked me in, but I didn't play a single time. ”

"I don't understand, why did Qi Peng's uncle ask you to play games? Qi Peng always pulls you, who pays the money, why is this?"

"That game hall was opened by Qi Peng's uncle. Qi Peng's uncle likes me very much, as long as there is an empty machine in his place, I can play without money. I had a good relationship with Qi Peng, and I went to the third time today, but I didn't play once. The son explained further for himself.

"Oh, it's a cow! Someone has a treat at a young age. Much better than your dad. I shrugged.

The son was silent. After a while, he tried to ask, "Dad, I want to go out and play?"

"Okay. I said, "There are many children who play with you, you are popular, you will play when others ask you to play, you will eat, you will never have self-control, you will never produce the contract spirit of talking and counting, and you will lose happiness when you grow up." Oh, by the way, last week I said that I was going to Huxi to dig cistanche, will I go tomorrow?"

"Go. The son agreed with a puzzled look. It seems that he doesn't understand what I mean, but he's listening.

"Let's play, it's not too late, there's hard work to be done tomorrow. ”

The son ran away.

"Are you crazy!" said the wife, with a tense face and a look of extreme displeasure.

"Where," I said, "my son has a lot of problems, but he is really improving." Think about it, has he compared Chen Zhiguang with Chen Zhiguang when it comes to studying this semester?"

The wife thought for a moment and smiled. Say, "Your heart is so small." However, I just received a call and the computer will be bought back tomorrow. ”

"Didn't you buy it on May 1st?"

"Tomorrow the school wants to buy a batch of computers, and Yinchuan happens to have goods to bring it together. In the afternoon, I watched Wang Xile focus on playing games, I really didn't want to buy this computer. I have asked many people, they said that the computer can only become a child's advanced game console, seriously affecting learning, I think when the child grows up, knows to learn, it is not too late to buy. ”

"It's not that serious. I hear more about computers becoming premium consoles than you do. I don't believe in how computers in European and American countries can become children's learning tools! If you buy it, you must buy it. ”

"We are China, and the national conditions are different!"

"Why are Chinese not people? Chinese children are not children? Play is a growing issue for children, and I am willing to accept the challenge. "I made my determination clear to my wife.

"Alas, it is a joy for a child to grow up. But as soon as I went to school, as soon as I had exams and scores, the originally leisurely home added a lot of nameless sorrow out of thin air. After the wife finished watching her Korean drama, she went.

My mind was like a meditation on what might happen when I bought a computer. In order to get rid of the confusion and panic in my thoughts, I walked out of the house.

Come to the Desert Park Artificial Lake. During the day, it was bustling here, and at night, except for the lonely lamp in the duty room, all the people looking for joy went back, full of coldness. Because of the quietness, the trees around the artificial lake appear taller in the darkness and look gloomy. Everywhere there was the quiet sound of birds' wings flapping in the reeds, the sound of fish breathing on the water's surface, the sound of flying insects flying in the air, and the continuous sound of frogs. Suddenly, a jagged erhu sound came from the duty room. I crossed over and looked out the window with my eyes. There were empty drink bottles piled up in the corner of the duty room, and a double bed took up half of the room. A woman yawned and shook her laundry. The man sat cross-legged on the bed and pulled the erhu, with half a bottle of local four-yuan "little camel" wine in front of him. His vulgar countenance, his stupid lyrics, and his shaking forehead exuded a look of satisfaction, which would have been disgusting if you had seen it or listened to it. Tonight, I tasted the original sound from the incomplete five tones and the indecent words, and saw true happiness.

People's environments are different, their ages are different, and their understanding and needs for happiness are also different, so it is difficult to judge happiness with a fixed evaluation standard. When people are young, they want to get something concrete, when they are young, they want to achieve a certain goal, and when they reach middle age, they have a balanced state of mind. If this thinking is correct, then guiding children with an adult's view of happiness will definitely go wrong in the future.

In the middle of the night, when I got home, I wanted to take a big nap, but I was more and more awake when I lay in bed. Looking out the window, the stars are shining, just like a fresh life. Over the years, the child's crying and flamboyant behavior whip people's hearts from time to time, and the parents are both happy and worried, but if you think about it carefully, if the child is not troubled, it seems that the family is less cheerful. Tomorrow the computer will come, the trouble of the game will come, and people say that as long as the child gets involved in the game, it is equivalent to failure, but I don't believe it.

Crazy dreams are the method of "Tianxuan". The child's dreams in his childhood have been affected, he will lose his dreams and lose his ability to act, as long as my son can become a good person, a person with a conscience, I will be content. As for fate and creation, everything will move freely with his dreams!
