On Saturday afternoons, Yang Yang was doing homework or playing with the computer in the study, and I steamed buns in the kitchen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is my first steamed bun. I used to buy steamed buns for my family at the market, but a few days ago I happened to read a report in the newspaper that most of the snacks such as barbecue and steamed buns sold on the street were made with low-quality meat or dead pork and mutton, and I didn't dare to buy the steamed buns on the street anymore. But Yangyang loves steamed buns, so I decided to learn how to make steamed buns on my own!

When my mother and mother-in-law steamed steamed buns or steamed buns, they would naturally ferment the dough and then put the alkaline noodles into the dough, so that the steamed steamed buns and buns were very fragrant. Instead of steaming the buns in the traditional way, I go to the supermarket and buy a bag of yeast powder, mix the yeast powder with the flour in proportion to the instructions on the package, and set the dough aside for it to rise. During this time, I quickly adjusted the meat filling, and after three hours, when I saw that the dough had risen to twice the size of the beginning, I began to steam the buns.

It only took half an hour for the steaming buns to come out of the cage. Although the steamed buns I steamed were still not as delicious as those steamed by my mother and mother-in-law, I still felt a sense of accomplishment when I saw the steamed buns by myself, and I think my mother-in-law would be surprised if she found out.

I took three buns in a bowl and walked towards the study, and as soon as I reached the door, I heard Yang Yang singing at the top of his voice. Oh, why is this kid so happy today, singing alone.

recalled that Yang Yang was in elementary school, at a class New Year's Day party, he sang a love song, which was considered unhealthy by Teacher Bai, and interrupted his singing on the spot, and he rarely listened to him sing since then. At that time, Yangyang once asked me: "Mom, love songs are unhealthy things?" That is, the love between men and women is unhealthy? Is it bad? If it's not good, then why do adults want to fall in love? In the face of Yang Yang's question, I gave him an affirmative answer: "Love is the most beautiful, love songs are also beautiful, your teacher is wrong!" ”。 But Mr. Bai's words still had a great impact on Yangyang, and for four or five years, I rarely heard Yangyang sing, and he never performed at class parties or other campus entertainment activities, and just sat quietly in the corner as an audience member every time.

I didn't walk in right away, but listened outside the door for a while, but I couldn't make out what song Yang Yang was singing, no, I couldn't understand it to be exact. Listening carefully again, it seems that he is not singing in Chinese, but in Japanese! It's over, my son has become a Japanese fan completely! And this is all the fault of Japanese anime!

I didn't interrupt Yangyang's singing in the middle like Yangyang's elementary school teacher, but waited for him to finish singing before I walked in.

Yang Yang is watching a Japanese anime on the computer, and the song he just sang may be the theme song of this anime.

"You're done with your homework?" I asked as I handed him the bun.

"Hmm!" Yang Yang simply agreed, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, and he didn't bother to look at me.

In order to distract him, I put one hand on the computer screen, and sure enough, he immediately turned his head to me, but with an angry face, he shouted at me, "Mom! ”

"Have you finished your homework?" I repeat the previous sentence.

"It's done! Take your hands off the way! His butts fell together on the chair, looking very anxious.

I removed my hand because I knew he would get angry if I continued to block the video he was watching.

"I'll check your homework." I continue to fulfill my duties as a governess.

"Isn't it!" He handed me the homework book.

Yangyang did finish his homework, but the handwriting was relatively sloppy, and he was in a hurry to start at first glance.

"Yangyang, your word-" As soon as I was halfway through my words, Yangyang became impatient and said to me, "Mom, can you tell me later?" ”

That's when I started to get angry. Of course, I also have a temper, and I don't blindly accommodate and spoil this little thing. I suddenly raised my voice and said sharply to Yang Yang, "You are the emperor?" Do you still have to give your permission to talk to you? Is this the tone in which you are talking to your elders? ”

If you don't give this kid some color, this kid will float again, and he won't know how thick the sky is!

After seeing that I was not happy, Yangyang had no choice but to click the mouse and pause the playback of the video. Then he pouted and said, "Okay, then you can say it." ”

"The words on your homework book are too sloppy, which means that you don't take your homework seriously, this is not good, you are a student, your main task now is to study, you can't indulge in anime all day long, my mother told you that it is difficult for a person who is not serious about doing things to succeed!" I continued to say to Yang Yang in a serious tone.

"Mom, didn't you say that as long as I improve, I deserve praise? I've improved again in this exam, why do you still discipline me? "Yangyang didn't understand what I meant.

"Academic progress should be praised, but it doesn't mean that you can condone your mistakes and shortcomings, and Mom wants you to get better and better in all aspects." I said again.

"Mom, I may not be able to be a good person in all aspects in the future, it's too tiring to try to be a good person in the eyes of others, I just want to be myself." Listen, Yang Yang is like this, he is a very self-egoistic person.

"Be yourself, and be a person who is recognized by the majority, right? If a lot of people shook their heads at you in the future, what do you think? I asked rhetorically.

"Mother, Bruno made many people shake their heads because he insisted on Copernicus's heliocentric theory, and was finally burned to death by the Pope, can you say that Bruno was wrong? Isn't there a famous saying? The truth is often in the hands of a few! ”

This kid is really good at arguing. Of course, I have something to say to him, because the truth is not in his hands right now. I said to him, "Do you think you're sticking to the truth by scribbling?" Mom thinks it's disrespectful to the teacher at least, and you think, how hard the teacher is looking at your homework? ”

At this time, Yang Yang lowered his head and stopped talking. I'll admit that he's still young, and he doesn't understand some of the truths yet, but I'm going to tell him, and I'm sure he'll come to understand it slowly.

I quit the study and let Yang Yang continue to watch his anime, because his mind is all about anime at the moment, and at this time, he only cares about reasoning with him, and it is difficult for him to listen, so I can only talk to him again at another time.

In fact, when teaching children various truths, they must be taken little by little like infusions, otherwise children will not only be unable to absorb and digest at once, but also may cause adverse reactions. There are often debates similar to the above between me and Yangyang, but every time I stop at the right time and control the time to about ten minutes, because I know that he will be annoyed if he talks too much.

I had just returned to the kitchen from the study and was about to cook millet porridge when I heard someone knocking on the door, I walked over and opened the door, and saw Liu Jia's son Kaikai standing outside the door with a schoolbag on his back.

"Yo, it's Kaikai, please come in!" I warmly welcomed Kai Kai into the house.

Kai Kai came in and asked me, "Auntie, where is Yangyang?" ”

"In the study." I say.

When Kai Kai heard this, he happily went into the study to find Yangyang.

Playing with the two children, I continued to cook my millet porridge, but just washed a small bowl of millet, the phone rang again, I connected the phone, and heard Liu Jia's voice on the other end of the phone, she said to me: "Swift, is my Kaikai at your house?" ”

"Yes, he's at my house." I say.

"Alright then, I'll be at your house in a moment." Liu Jia hung up the phone after speaking.

As soon as I heard that Liu Jia was coming, I quickly boiled the washed millet into the pot, and then simply tidied up the living room, washed a plate of fruit and put it on the coffee table, waiting for the guests to come to the door.

In fact, Liu Jia hadn't been to my house for a long time, because she had found a job and started working - she went to work as a cleaner at Yangyang and Kaikai's school. You may not understand, she picked and picked a job as a cleaner? She told me this: Although this job is dirty and tiring, and the salary is not high, but this way I can get closer to Kaikai's teachers more conveniently, and build a good relationship with the teachers, not only can the teachers take care of Kaikai more, but also understand Kaikai's learning situation in time, so in fact, I have gained a lot. But after listening to it, I always felt that she was a spy who infiltrated her son's school, and she finally managed to supervise her son continuously 24 hours a day, but I don't know what kind of feeling and condition Kaikai felt under her strict supervision.

More than ten minutes later, Liu Jia came to my house, but she didn't come to the door with a smile like before, but a look of displeasure. As soon as I entered, like a policeman chasing a fugitive, she first swept my house with her eyes and then asked me, "What about Kai Kai?" ”

"Play with Yang Yang in the study." I say.

When Liu Jia heard this, she took a few steps and directly pushed open Yangyang's study without knocking on the door. Before I could follow up, I saw Liu Jia take Kai Kai out of the study and kick Kai Kai on the ass a few times.

As soon as I saw Liu Jia's appearance, I was not satisfied, and walked up to her and said, "Why do you beat the child as soon as you come in?" ”

"He didn't study and sneaked out, can I not be angry?" Liu Jia said angrily.

"Then you can't hit a child, right? The kids have to let them play for a while, right? I said.

"If you don't fight, you can't do it, this kid is getting more and more disobedient to me now." Liu Jia said as she pulled Kai Kai out.

Kai Kai, of course, was reluctant and retracted vigorously. Seeing this, Liu Jia kicked Kai Kai twice more in the buttocks, and shouted at Kai Kai in his mouth: "Do you want to go?" If you don't go, I won't want you! ”

"Don't want it, I don't want you yet!" Kaikai began to cry.

Seeing Kai Kai crying, Liu Jia let go of Kai Kai, and pointed at Kai Kai and said to me sadly: "Swift, listen, how sad it is for him to say such things to me?!" ”

"Do you take the words of a child seriously? Of course he was not happy when you hit him. I said to her.

"Alas, it's difficult, you are kind to him, but he doesn't understand." Liu Jia sighed and sat on the sofa at my house.

It seems that I have to help Liu Jia educate Kaikai. I pulled Kai Kai to my side and said, "Kai Kai, don't make your mother angry, it's really wrong for you not to greet your mother, you don't know how worried your mother is, don't you feel sorry for your mother?" ”

Kaikai said: "It's not that I'm making my mother angry, it's my mother who is making me angry, and she doesn't let me watch TV!" ”

"You have to finish your homework to watch TV, and if you can't finish your homework, of course your mother won't let you watch it." I say.

"My homework was done in the morning." Kai Kai said.

Hearing Kai Kai say this, I turned my head and persuaded Liu Jia: "Since Kai Kai has finished his homework, you can let him watch TV for a while." ”

At this time, Liu Jia still said angrily: "His academic performance has been declining, is there any reason to watch TV?" More will catch up with his learning, more will let him watch! ”

"You can't say that, then he can't catch up for two months, and you won't let him watch TV for two months?"

"Two months? If he can't catch up in a year, I won't let him watch TV for a year! ”

"Aren't you angry with your child?"

"How can it be called angry? Am I not doing it for his good? After his father died, I raised him alone and took care of him alone, but he was not grateful at all. ”

Come on, Liu Jia also started crying.

Just when I didn't know how to comfort the mother and son, Lu Tao came back. As soon as Lu Tao entered the door, he saw Liu Jia with tears on his face, and he asked Liu Jia: "What's wrong?" Crying so sad? ”

Liu Jia didn't answer, lowered her head and kept sobbing.

Seeing this scene, Lu Tao didn't know what to say, and stood in place and looked at me stupidly, as if waiting for me to help.

In front of Kai Kai, I couldn't say anything, so I asked Kai Kai to go back to the study first, and then pulled Liu Jia and Lu Tao into the bedroom, and after closing the door, I started to speak. I said to Liu Jia: "I don't like you to always tell your child how hard it is for you to raise him alone, and I don't like you to ask him to be grateful to you, if this is the case, it will make Kaikai feel that he owes you and should pay you back." ”

"Doesn't he owe me?" Liu Jia asked.

"No, I owe! When you give birth to him, you have the obligation to raise him, and raising a child is not a kind of charity to the child, but an obligation and responsibility! In addition, raising children can't always expect to be reciprocated, true love doesn't want to be reciprocated. ”

……

Although I told Liu Jia a lot of truths, Liu Jia couldn't listen to a word, she said: "Don't want to reciprocate? So what do you do with raising children? If a child is not filial to his parents, it is better not to give birth to them, how tiring is it to raise a child!? ”

"Anyway, I don't want my children to reciprocate, on the contrary, I am very grateful to my children, just imagine, without children, what is our life like? Children bring us a lot of joy, and we should enjoy the process of raising children, not just appreciate the hardship. I said.

"Alas, I'm not as high as you, I'm a layman, and I can only think about things simply."

"Look at what you say, it's as if I'm making a fuss myself."

Listening to my conversation with Liu Jia, it became less and less speculative, and Lu Tao spoke: "It's not early, it's time for dinner." ”

Liu Jia didn't stay to eat as usual, but left with Kaikai. Looking at the back of their mother and son leaving, I said to Lu Tao: "How did Liu Jia become such a person, as if her brain was not open." ”

"I also feel that she has been too narrow-minded in the past few years, and sometimes I can't talk to her." Lu Tao said.

"Oh, it's so serious? Can't even talk about you and her? I pretended to be surprised and looked at Lu Tao and said.

"What do you mean? Don't have thorns in your words, okay? Lu Tao heard my voice and muttered at me. (To be continued.) )
