In order to prevent Yang Yang from running out to play without permission, I arrived at the school gate ten minutes before school every day, and as soon as the school bell rang and the school gate opened, I began to search for my son among the hundreds of children in uniform who poured out of the school gate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I first saw Xingxing, who was two grades higher than Yangyang, walking out of the school gate with a schoolbag on his back, but I didn't see his mother Guo Mei, so I walked up and asked:

"Xingxing, no one picked you up?"

"Nope." The stars said.

"Why don't you wait a minute, and when Auntie comes out of Yangyang, Auntie will send you home, okay?" I say.

"No need Auntie, I can go back by myself." The stars waved at me and left.

"Don't be greedy on the way, go back quickly!" I shouted at the star's distant back, and I don't know if he heard it.

Although I moved out of the original community, I also have contact with my old neighbor Guo Mei from time to time, and often go to her cake shop to buy cakes. She said that I was too spoiled with children, and that I had to pick up and drop off my children when they were in elementary school, and she let Xingxing, who was not yet ten years old, go to and from school by herself, saying that she had to let the children exercise more. I have a different opinion from her, I don't think you can ignore your child's personal safety in the name of exercise, there are so many cars on the street, how can you let a child walk on his own? What's more, cases of child abduction and trafficking also occur from time to time, and danger is really everywhere. I never dared to let Yangyang out of my sight, not to mention that Yangyang went to elementary school and I was still picking him up, even if he went to junior high school and high school, I might have to pick him up. I am not doing this in accordance with the law to fulfill my guardianship obligations to the child, but I am really worried about the safety of the child, maybe after Yang Yang grows over the age of eighteen, I have to worry about him, in fact, from the day he gave birth to him, he is destined to become my lifelong concern.

I finally saw Yangyang, but when he saw me, he was not elated as usual, but a look of loss.

"Yangyang, what's wrong? Out of sorts? I asked.

I didn't want to, I asked, I actually made Yang Yang ask crying, only to see big tears rolling down his little face, he raised his face and said to me: "Mom, I am satisfied even if I am a group leader, but I am not even a group leader." ”

"Squad leader? What kind of group leader? I squatted down to help him wipe his tears and asked.

"Today, the teacher designated the class leader, and I didn't do anything." Yang Yang said sadly.

"It's nothing, there are many classmates who don't have cadres on duty, and you're not alone." I say.

"There are only about a dozen students in the class who have not been there, and most of them are class leaders." Yangyang told me.

"Most of the students are class leaders? Why are there so many cadres in your class? I asked curiously.

"The class cadres of our class have a class leader, two deputy class leaders, a music committee, a sports committee, a health committee, in addition to these, there are many team leaders, the class is divided into twenty groups, three people in a group, a group leader, a deputy leader, so most of the students in the class are class cadres, but I am nothing, Mom!" After Yang Yang finished speaking, he cried like a girl.

"Yangyang, you heard my mother say that it is not important to be a cadre on duty, you see that your mother did not become the director of the unit, but your mother does not cry, she is still happy every day, and you should be as happy as your mother." I comforted Yang Yang.

"But I really want to be a cadre mom on duty." Yang Yang still kept wiping his tears.

"You didn't do it this time, you will do it in the future, don't cry, mom bought you something to eat, what do you want to eat?" I want to use food to distract Yangyang.

"I don't want to eat anything, let's go back." It seems that Yangyang is really sad and doesn't even want anything to eat.

At night, Yangyang hurriedly finished his homework and went to bed quietly, which made Lu Tao feel very strange, and asked me why Yangyang didn't watch TV today, I said that I was in a bad mood because I didn't want to be a cadre at work, but Lu Tao said to me:

"You might as well be Liu Jia, Liu Jia has a good relationship with the teacher, I also saw her buy clothes for the teacher's children, and now her Kaikai is the deputy class leader!"

I'm not surprised that Liu Jia gave gifts to teachers, many parents are doing this; It's not surprising that Kai Kai became the deputy class president, he is very good in his own right, and he is the first in the class in every exam; What I wonder is, why does Lu Tao always know so much about Liu Jia's family? Could it be that Liu Jia regards him as a confidant who he has nothing to talk about?

"When did you see Liu Jia buying clothes for the teacher's children?" I couldn't help but ask Lu Tao.

"One day I saw Liu Jia holding a girl's dress, I asked who bought it, and she said it was for the teacher's daughter." Lu Tao said.

I don't have much to say when I hear him explain like this, after all, he and Liu Jia are colleagues in the same unit, and it is normal for them to talk about housework after work.

Gifts? It's something I don't like to do, it's normal to give gifts for birthdays or weddings with friends and family, but I really haven't done it if it's for bribes. Did Guo Mei ever give a gift to her teacher? Otherwise, ask! In the evening, I made a phone call to Guo Mei, when the phone was connected, I could clearly hear the sound of the stars reciting English words from the receiver, Guo Mei picked up the phone and asked in a low voice:

"Hey, is it a Swift?"

"Yes, let me ask you one thing, have you ever given a gift to your teacher?"

"Nope!"

"Never?"

"Yes."

"If you don't give a gift star, you will become a cadre at work?"

"Yes, Xingxing has always been the class leader, what's wrong? Why do you ask this? ”

"Nothing, just asking."

"I know that there are many parents who are giving gifts to teachers, and some parents have even given them since kindergarten, but I have no money, and I have never given anything to teachers, but fortunately, the teachers I met in Xingxing are all good, and they are very good to Xingxing."

"That's right, I'm clear, hang up."

In this way, Guo Mei didn't give a gift to the teacher, and I didn't give it either, only Liu Jia sent it, two to one, I am the majority of the party, then I won't give it, I didn't want to give it in the first place.

"Guo Mei didn't give gifts, but isn't Xingxing still a cadre on duty?" I said to Lu Tao, who advocates gift-giving.

"Teachers are different from teachers, Xingxing met a good teacher, and Kaikai's teacher likes to receive gifts, but you don't know who Yangyang's teacher is." Lu Tao said.

"Yangyang's teacher is young and beautiful, do you still want to accept gifts from parents?" I say.

"Young and beautiful people don't like to receive gifts? Today's young people are even more unremarkable. "Lu Tao disagrees with me.

In fact, I'm not saying that young people are more decent than older people, I mainly don't want to give gifts, if I was a person who is good at building relationships, I would have been promoted a long time ago.

I was chatting with Lu Tao, Yang Yang suddenly came out of his bedroom, it turned out that he was not asleep at all, he heard the conversation between me and his father just now, he walked to us sitting on the sofa, sat down in the middle, and said to us: "Don't give gifts to the teacher, I don't deserve to be the class cadre who got through the gift!" ”

"Okay, we won't send it, where can our family give it to people if they have the money." I hastened to say this.

Lu Tao put on a dress for Yang Yang, who was only wearing pajamas, and said to him: "Yangyang, don't take the cadres on duty so seriously, as long as you study well, you study hard, you will be admitted to a key university in the future, and you will earn a lot of money after graduation, but if you don't study well, what can you do if you become a class cadre, the squad leader when my father was in school is still farming in the countryside!" ”

I always feel that the second half of what Lu Tao said to Yangyang is a bit problematic, what's wrong with farming? Shame on you? I touched Lu Tao with my elbow and said to Yangyang: "People who farm in the countryside are also worthy of respect, otherwise where will the food we eat come from?" ”

"Then why do all rural people want to go to the city, why do all parents want their children to go to university, according to what you say, don't let your children study, go directly to the countryside to farm." Lu Tao, who grew up in the city, retorted to me.

"How can you belittle the peasants like that? Studying is not entirely to find a job, to master more knowledge, in order to improve personal cultivation, and I am not saying that I respect the farmer, everyone should go to the countryside to farm, and what Yangyang will do in the future is up to him, and he can do whatever he likes. ”

In front of Yang Yang, the two of us argued again.

"He can do whatever he wants. Did he grow up to like to steal, and you let him do it? ”

Chatting with Lu Tao can always make people angry, but considering Yangyang by my side, I suppressed the fire and said to him in a calm tone as much as possible: "Do you think Yangyang likes to steal or rob?" ”

Lu Tao ignored me, lowered his head and asked Yangyang: "Yangyang, what do you want to do when you grow up?" ”

"Open a toy store!" Yang Yang replied without thinking.

"Opening a toy store? Why? Lu Tao asked.

"So I can play with more toys." Yang Yang said again.

"Do you still have to play with toys when you're dozens of years old?" Lu Tao asked incredulously.

"Well, I'm going to play until I'm old." Yang Yang replied loudly, as if he had temporarily forgotten about being a cadre who couldn't go to work, and a smile appeared on his face.

"There's nothing wrong with opening a toy store, as long as you can earn money to support your family." I said a word for Yangyang.

"Look at you, didn't you teach him to study hard, but to teach him to open a toy store?" Lu Tao glared at me.

"What's so bad about opening a toy store? Whatever your child does in the future, as long as he likes to do it and does it well, what do you want him to do in the future? I asked rhetorically.

"Let him be admitted to a key university in the future, become a researcher or go to the government to serve an iron job." This is Lu Tao's point of view.

"Then Hong Kong Li Ka-shing sold plastic flowers at the beginning, did Li Ka-shing choose the wrong one at the beginning?" I gave an example.

"Can your son be as successful as Li Ka-shing?"

"How do you know he can't? Maybe my son will be even more successful than Li Ka-shing in the future. ”

"Okay, okay, then you just wait for your son to become a billionaire."

"It doesn't matter if you're not a billionaire, why do you always think about money?"

"Can people live without money? Can anyone look up to you without money? ”

"I don't think so, as long as I'm happy."

"The problem is that if you don't have money, you're not happy!"

"That's why you think that."

When the two of us were arguing, we suddenly heard Yang Yang laughing wildly, we looked down at him, it turned out that he was watching a cartoon intently, and he laughed when he saw the violent laughter, it seems that whether he can be a cadre at work will not have much impact on him, and children will soon forget these unpleasant things.

"Alright, it's time to sleep!" Lu Tao suddenly turned off the TV and asked Yangyang to go to sleep.

"No, I want to see it!" Yangyang snatched back the remote control and turned on the TV.

"You're not letting him sleep? What should I do if I can't get up tomorrow? Lu Tao looked at me and said anxiously.

"Let him finish watching this episode, there are only a few minutes left, and you're not happy to turn him off in the middle of the episode." I say.

"You just spoil him, see what you spoil him like!" Lu Tao huffed and went back to the bedroom alone to sleep.

Yangyang and I also went to bed more than ten minutes later.

I got up at six o'clock the next day, in order to let Yangyang go to school happily and no longer think about not being a cadre at work yesterday, I specially made egg scones and eight-treasure porridge for him to eat, but I didn't expect that Yangyang refused to get up, saying that his stomach hurt.

"Does it really hurt my stomach?" I asked Yangyang.

"Yes, it hurts me." Yang Yang crawled under the quilt and made a painful expression, but I know from experience that he is pretending! (To be continued.) )
