Chapter 173: Lipstick
Tong Wangjun spoke in a very heavy tone, and sometimes an ordinary sentence felt like he was arguing with someone, which made people's hearts very dull to listen to.
I didn't say anything else, but beckoned Chen Ke to play in front of the piano.
The pink piano was placed next to the window of the house, and along with the piano there was a stool, which I moved to the piano, and Chen Ke sat on it, and put his hands on it and played for a while.
I don't have any musical cells, and I don't have any talent in this area, I usually go to KTV with my classmates just to yell a few words, and I can't hear good or bad, but I feel very satisfied when I see Chen Ke happily stroking the piano keys.
A few months ago, I couldn't even provide a bowl of rice to Chen Ke, and after school, she had to go to the vegetable market to pick up the leaves that had been picked by others and come back to cook.
Chen Ke is only eight years old, but he is already very sensible, helping to wash dishes, helping to cook, never asking me for anything, and going to and from school alone.
But her maturity and her sensibility make me feel guilty, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, I would rather Chen Ke be like an ordinary child of this age who does not touch the housework, and I don't want to see her sensibly carrying a small bench and standing in front of the stove to wash dishes.
The children of poor families have been in charge for a long time, which sounds like a compliment, but how many people know the sadness contained in it.
Early maturity is not always a good thing.
Now seeing Chen Ke sitting in front of the piano and caressing the keys happily, I feel that I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, and the guilt in my heart has filled in some of them.
"Dad, I forgot the tune, you can help me get the score. Chen Ke suddenly looked back at me.
"Where?" I asked her, and I would be happy to run errands for my daughter.
"In the bag. Chen Ke said.
Chen Le ran to Chen Ke's side, and her feet wanted to touch the piano keys, but it was still a little worse, so she screamed in a hurry, and pulled Chen Ke's clothes vigorously, she couldn't touch the piano keys and didn't want Chen Ke to touch them.
took Chen Ke's schoolbag, I rummaged in it, saw the score, and when I took it out, I paused, saw something at the bottom of the schoolbag, and picked it up with some confusion.
"Did you put this lipstick in Ake's schoolbag?" The thing that came out of Chen Ke's schoolbag was lipstick, and I asked Tong Wangjun, thinking that Tong Wangjun had left it in Chen Ke's schoolbag.
"Not mine, I don't have such lipstick. Tong Wangjun looked at it and shook his head.
I walked up to Chen Ke's side, handed her the sheet music, and put the lipstick in front of her eyes: "Ake, what's the matter with this lipstick, how can you have lipstick in your schoolbag?"
"Someone else sent it. Chen Ke flipped through the sheet music and said indifferently.
"Who sent it?" I was a little annoyed.
Chen Ke is only eight years old, who will give her lipstick, and give lipstick to girls for no reason, its purpose is not pure.
The fact that children are young does not mean that they do not understand anything, some children are very precocious, but they can do things that can make adults feel ashamed.
"Classmates, Dad, put the lipstick in your bag, don't touch my things. Chen Ke was a little dissatisfied with my lipstick and seemed to understand some of the concepts of privacy.
I put on the lipstick and found that I actually used some: "Have you used this lipstick?"
"Hmm. Chen Ke nodded.
The piano keys were pressed and the music sounded, but this time I didn't feel the sound, but felt a little harsh, and I was very depressed, and finally I took the score directly from the piano: "Ake, you are only eight years old, these things can't be used." Also, what did I tell you before, don't accept gifts from others, have you listened to your father?"
"But this is a gift from someone else, why can't I ask for it?" Chen Ke retorted to me, reaching out to take the lipstick from my hand.
"I said, if you can't ask for it, you can't ask for it. I scolded, a little loud and reproachful.
I was very annoyed in my heart, Chen Ke was not as obedient as before: "If you take other people's things casually, Dad will beat you, do you know?"
"I hate you, ignore you. Chen Ke turned his head and entered the room.
I don't know if she listened to my words, but the anger in her heart did not calm down, and said to Tong Wangjun: "This is what you said about the aristocratic school, is this what it looks like? At such a young age, someone actually gave her lipstick, and the good children were all spoiled." ”
I complained a little bit about Tong Wangjun, I think Chen Ke's bad habits must have been contracted after entering the aristocratic school, and he has become like this after only a few months of entering the school, accepting other people's lipsticks, are the children in it all precocious?
After a long time, I don't know what else will happen, and I'm worried.
"Don't make a fuss, it's just a gift. Tong Wangjun's words made my heart even colder.
I was very dissatisfied with her answer: "What does it mean to be just a gift? This is lipstick, and you don't know that Ake is only eight years old, do you give a lipstick to a gift at this age?"
"What's not to do, you haven't been to the aristocratic school and don't know what's going on inside, so don't make such a fuss. Not to mention lipstick, watches, cosmetics, and bags. Tong Wangjun said, "It's normal to send these things in an aristocratic school, if the aristocratic school is really as unbearable as you say, how can so many people think of a way to send their children in?"
"Is this normal?" I couldn't understand, "I don't care what happens to others, I'm just going to take care of Ke." ”
"What you haven't seen doesn't mean it's abnormal, it's just an eight-year-old child, you think too much, and besides, the education method of aristocratic schools is different from ordinary schools, social interaction is encouraged, children are encouraged to get in touch with new things, and the children in it are more mature than their peers, and it is not a big deal to give gifts and lipstick. "Tong Wangjun argued with me, and the meaning in and out of his words was that the aristocratic school was superior, and it was normal for anything to happen.
I'm worried that Chen Ke will be corrupted, even if the education in the aristocratic school is good and the education method is modern, I don't want Chen Ke to become like that.
"Next year, you don't want Ake to go to the noble school anymore, I'll take her to a regular school. "I told Tong Wangjun directly.
"Why are you so pedantic, if the aristocratic school is not good, can the tuition fees be so high, in the aristocratic school can broaden the child's horizons, let her see more new things, let her mature earlier, what's wrong with this, do you want Ah Ke to be like you and me, no other skills, only some knowledge in books?" Tong Wangjun disagreed with my words.
"If you want to paint, sing, or dance, you can participate in the training class, you don't have to come to the aristocratic school, this matter is decided, you don't have to pay her tuition next year, even if you do, it will be in vain, I will not let her go to the aristocratic school again." "I made up my mind that the child could not be handed over to Tong Wangjun.
I don't want Chen Ke to become a person who pursues luxury and enjoyment, and now there is this trend, and I must stop it.
The doorbell rang, someone was outside, Tong Wangjun went over and opened the door, it was Xu Heng.
"What, you two are quarreling again?" Xu Heng looked at me, then at Tong Wangjun, and said lightly with a smile.
I glanced at him, a little curious as to how he had come running.
"The piano is there, you can see if there's any problem. Tong Wangjun pointed to the piano by the window.
Xu Heng walked over and checked the piano, looking at it out of the corner of my eye, although I didn't know what he was doing, but judging from his leisurely stroll, he seemed to be very familiar with the piano, and there were rules to follow.
Tong Wangjun stood beside him, looking very seriously.
"No problem, this brand of piano is okay. Xu Heng clapped his hands, "It's just that the price of buying is a bit high, if you talk about it again, it should be able to be two or three thousand yuan cheaper, you have been cheated." ”
Tong Wangjun looked at me: "I told you a long time ago, I can't believe the boss's words, you still paid so early." ”
"I'm not a professional, how can I bargain with him. "I'm a little irritable," I've talked about a lot of money down. ”
"This has nothing to do with whether it is professional or not, there is more than one store of this brand in Wuchang, and you can definitely buy cheaper ones by shopping around. You bought it in a hurry, if you go to two more houses, you will definitely be able to talk about it a little, not to say two or three thousand, but one or two thousand is still not much of a problem. Xu Heng said with a smile, and then looked up at Tong Wangjun again, "But I have already bought it, so be it, just spend two or three thousand yuan to buy a lesson, and be careful when you buy similar things in the future, don't be fooled." ”
