Chapter 108: Who is the Murderer (1)
As soon as I got to work today, I heard a local news: a middle school student committed suicide by jumping off a building!
"Another kid killed himself?"
"What's wrong with today's children? Why do you want to die at such a young age?"
"When I was younger, I was so poor that I starved to death, and I never thought about killing myself. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Today's children have high self-esteem. ”
"No, it should be said that today's children are under a lot of mental pressure, especially in terms of study!"
"Maybe it's because of the emotional problem, and now there are a lot of early loves among middle school students. ”
"People who commit suicide have psychological problems, and there are many mentally unhealthy students in schools now, but teachers and parents only pay attention to their learning and do not pay attention to their psychological problems. ”
……
Because in recent years, the news of student suicide has occurred from time to time, even in Taigu, I have heard it several times, so when colleagues hear such news again, it is like hearing about a car accident, the shock is not too great, and the regret for the deceased is a little more, especially in the face of a child who died early, people's sighs are constant.
In addition to sighing, people are more keen to inquire and discuss the details and reasons for the incident. For the entire morning, colleagues were talking about it, speculating about the cause of the student's suicide. And I didn't say a word, because in addition to shock and regret, I felt more heartache! There is no doubt that it is the fault of adults that children commit suicide! It is that they are not well cared for and loved in the adult world, so that they lose the confidence to live. And most adults, like my colleagues, are rarely able to calm down and dissect whether there is something wrong with the way we educate our children, but are just keen to talk about right and wrong, and rumors. So I feel heartache not only for the lost child, but also for this situation that I cannot change personally.
"Swift, I heard that this child is a student in the sixth middle school, and he is about to graduate from junior high school. In the noise, Sister Wang suddenly turned her face to me and said to me. She said this to me because Yang Yang was also in the sixth middle school. In other words, the child who committed suicide by jumping off the building may be an alumnus of Yangyang!
"But I haven't heard Yang Yang talk about it?" I said.
"Maybe Yang Yang doesn't know about this yet, because it only happened last night. Sister Wang added.
"Maybe, I'll go home and ask. ”
After a brief conversation with Sister Wang, I was silent again. At this time, I heard a male colleague sigh and say:
"Alas, parents should not put too much pressure on their children in their studies. ”
"We can't just beat up children's early love, we should adopt a gentle method of discipline. Another female colleague continued.
"You can't control your children too strictly, you have to give them a certain amount of freedom. ”
Listening to these colleagues, it seems that they are very aware of the problems in educating children, but in fact, they are just talking, and it is difficult for them to make significant changes in educating children. Or maybe they're changing too slowly, so slow that you feel like they're not changing at all.
So I couldn't help but interject a sentence and said to the colleagues in front of me: "Don't say these things after the accident, don't say anything about others, can you do what you say?"
"I can do it, and I give my children a lot of freedom. The male colleague said in a loud voice. As soon as he said this, he was choked back by Sister Wang: "Come on, I heard you say last week that you ripped off the network cable because your daughter secretly went online, but now you say that you give your child more freedom, where is it?"
"Giving your children freedom is not the same as indulging them, if your children don't do their homework and play on the computer, can you leave it alone?" the male colleague retorted.
"I don't think anyone can say anything about anyone, I only see other people's problems, not my own problems. I said with a wry smile.
In this way, a bad news swept away the boredom at work, and colleagues ended the morning in a lively discussion.
When Yangyang came back from school at noon, I was cooking in the kitchen, and I didn't mention to Yangyang the news of the student's suicide that I heard in the morning, and I didn't want him to hear such a deplorable thing. No, as soon as Yang Yang put down his schoolbag, he ran to the kitchen and said to me:
"Mom, I heard from my classmates that Xingxing committed suicide by jumping off a building!"
"What? what are you talking about?" Hearing Yang Yang's words, I immediately forgot the vegetables I was cutting, and I forgot the kitchen knife in my hand, and shouted at Yang Yang like a person with hearing problems, as if I didn't hear what he said at all.
"I heard from my classmates, and I don't know if it's a star or not. "Maybe he was too fierce to see me, and Yang Yang's tone was not so firm, I don't know if he really didn't know, or he was worried about stimulating me.
I stared at Yang Yang for a long time, or my mind was blank and stunned in place for a while, and then I suddenly thought of what I was going to do next, that is, to make a phone call! Make a call to Guo Mei, as soon as the phone is connected, Yang Yang will know that the classmates have made a mistake! It must be a mistake! Although I know that Yang Yang can figure out this matter by himself, it is very simple, he can know the truth of the matter by directly looking for the stars. And he must have done it a long time ago! In this way, he just said that he didn't know that he was really afraid of irritating me! But I'm still going to make this call, and I'm going to confirm it myself!
But I repeatedly dialed Guo Mei's mobile phone several times, but no one answered. Then I called her home's landline and her husband's mobile phone, but there was no response. The more no one answered the phone, the more I kept dialing the number, as if I was angry. Finally, after I turned over a few number wheels dozens of times, Guo Mei's boarding was finally picked up, but the other party only said one sentence: "Guo Mei is not at home!" and then hung up the phone.
Guo Mei is not at home? Doesn't she even have her mobile phone? Does her husband not bring her mobile phone either? Or are they both busy with something and can't hear the mobile phone ringing? This is really not allowing people to eat this lunch, or not to let people go to work in the afternoon, or not to let people go to sleep at night! How can Guo Mei figure things out if she can't find out?
Lu Tao came upstairs after scrubbing his car downstairs, and when he saw me holding a phone in a daze, he asked, "Is the meal ready?"
I didn't answer, just looked at him steadily.
"What's wrong? You don't know who I am?" Lu Tao was still joking with me, hadn't he heard anything?
Seeing that I didn't react, Lu Tao walked towards the kitchen, as I expected, as soon as he stepped into the kitchen with one foot, he immediately retreated, and then turned to me and muttered, "You haven't cooked yet?"
Seeing that I still didn't speak, Lu Tao walked up to me, looked at me carefully, knocked on my head again, and said, "Are you stupid?"
At this time, I pushed Lu Tao's hand away and said unintentionally jokingly: "Let's go to Guo Mei's house now, shall we?"
"Now that you're not cooking for Yangyang?" Lu Tao asked me with a glare.
"On the way, buy a cake for Yangyang to eat. I said.
"What's so important? I don't care about our father and son's dinner?" Lu Tao was confused.
"You really don't know?"
"Know what?"
"When you went to pick up Yangyang, Yangyang didn't tell you in the car?"
He was eating an ice cream in the car and didn't say a word. ”
"Yangyang, didn't you tell your father?" I turned my head in disbelief and asked Yangyang, who was watching TV.
"Nope. Yang Yang replied.
"Why didn't you tell your dad?"
"I didn't think my dad would care about that, so I didn't say anything. ”
At this time, Lu Tao was anxious and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"You really haven't heard anything out there today?"
When I asked again, Lu Tao became even more impatient and said to me, "Can't you say something directly?"
"I heard Yangyang say that Xingxing committed suicide by jumping off the building!"
When I said this, I kept staring at Lu Tao's eyes, trying to catch his reaction to hearing this sad news in time. You probably didn't expect that Lu Tao's reaction was just to shake his head and say, "Boring, making this kind of joke!"
"I'm not joking with you! Who dares to make such a joke?! That's what the whole city said!" I said to Lu Tao seriously.
"Everyone in the city says that Xingxing committed suicide? Everyone in the city knows Xingxing? You can't stand up to scrutiny, right?"
"No, everyone in the city said that a student from the sixth middle school committed suicide by jumping off a building!"
"People are mistaken, yesterday it was said on TV that a middle school student in the south committed suicide by jumping into a lake, and it was a certain province in the south, not the No. 6 Middle School!
"The problem is that Yang Yang told me that Xingxing committed suicide!"
As soon as Lu Tao heard me say this, he immediately turned his head to Yangyang, only to see Yangyang looking at the TV screen happily, as if he hadn't mentioned a human life incident at all just now!
Lu Tao had to push Yang Yang and asked, "What did you say to your mother just now?"
"Ahh A child is like this, he always thinks of small things as big things and big things as small things! In short, he will not take things that have little to do with him to heart.
"Could this happen?" Lu Tao was the same as I was at the beginning, and he couldn't believe that what Yang Yang said was true.
"It's true, I heard from my classmates in the Star Class. Yang Yang said.
Lu Tao looked at Yang Yang's face, and didn't dare to question it blindly, but his next words were unexpected, he said: "It's true or false, don't worry about it now, what we have to do now is eat! Cook first, you're not hungry, I'm hungry!"
I would rather believe that Lu Tao is evasive, not indifferent, he must not want to talk about this kind of sighing and heart-wrenching thing, unlike the more heartache I have, the more I have to figure it out, I hope that the person concerned will tell me directly: What is not there is something that people miscommunicate! And Lu Tao does not want to hear this sentence: This is true! Besides, Lu Tao is really hungry, so he went to the kitchen to cook by himself.
That's right, why are you in such a hurry to figure things out? If the matter is true, it's better not to figure it out, like Lu Tao, and cover your ears. Thinking of this, my anxious heart was relieved, and like Lu Tao, I took things as a shake for the time being.
Because it was not early, I simply fried a dish, Lu Tao heated a few steamed buns in the microwave, and then our family began to eat.
During the meal, the phone rang, Lu Tao walked over to pick it up, first listened to him say "um", "yes", "yes?", and then the next sentence almost made me choke on the meal, only to hear him say into the microphone: "What? Xingxing is in the hospital?"
When I heard the word "star", I stopped chopsticks and chewing, and pricked up my ears to listen quietly to the next conversation between Lu Tao and the other party, but Lu Tao only repeated a few words: "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry......"
I couldn't wait any longer, so I ran over and grabbed the phone receiver and asked the other party loudly, "What happened to the stars?"
And Guo Mei on the other side of the earpiece couldn't say anything except crying heartbreakingly! )
