Chapter Ninety-Six: When Love Becomes an Excuse

Now that the real estate industry is booming, houses are being demolished and built all over the country, and when you walk down the street, you just look up and you will see high towers like giants waving above the city. Last month, www.biquge.info my brother-in-law sold his low-rise building, and then borrowed 200,000 yuan from the bank to buy a high-rise unit with elevators and underfloor heating. My uncle's new house is located on the 24th floor, and from the balcony of his house, you can have a bird's-eye view of the city.

The uncle persuaded us to sell the current building and move to a high-rise like him. But Lu Tao and I didn't accept his suggestion because we didn't want to save money to pay off the loan for the rest of our lives. Last week, Lu Tao and I went to buy a hatchback car, so that I have a car and a house. Cars do bring us a lot of convenience: we don't need to take a taxi to send the elderly to the hospital, we don't have to squeeze buses or trains to go shopping in Taiyuan, and the most important thing is that we can drive Yangyang to and from school.

When I went to the vegetable market the morning before yesterday to buy vegetables, I accidentally saw Guo Mei and his husband pushing a cart of potatoes to sell, I walked up and quipped: You two sell cakes and vegetables again, and you lose your money? Are you tired? I don't want Guo Mei to sigh and say: The cake shop was demolished, saying that it was going to develop the most high-end high-rise residential community in the county in that area. Guo Mei said that the current storefront is too expensive to rent, and their cake business is getting worse and worse, and most of the market is occupied by those large chain cake shops. In order to make a living, the two of them started their old business again: selling vegetables!

Although I can no longer buy cakes from Guo Mei's house, I can buy vegetables from her, but I don't buy her things just to be cheap, but also to take care of her business to a certain extent. I asked Guo Mei to buy a bag of potatoes from her family. When the weather cools down, it's time to start storing vegetables for the winter. In November, I have to buy a large bundle of green onions and 100 catties of cabbage to store. Since the introduction of canopy vegetables, there are now many young couples who no longer store vegetables for the winter, and they like to pay a high price for fresh vegetables grown from the canopy. Although I am not old, I still retain the habit of the old people, and I still have to wholesale a lot of potatoes and cabbage before the winter every year, which is not entirely to save money, I mainly do not want to eat high-pesticide canopy.

Guo Mei didn't sell me potatoes on the spot, saying that she had better potatoes at home and asked us to drive to her house to pull them.

After dinner today, Lu Tao and I took Yangyang to Liu Mei's house in our private car. As soon as I entered, I saw that Guo Mei's living room had been turned into a vegetable warehouse: there were bags of potatoes piled up in the corner of the opposite wall, a large pile of cabbage on the left side of the door, beans and green peppers on the right, and a few boxes of tomatoes in the ground! Guo Mei cherishes the award certificate of the star the most, how can she let it fall and discard it like waste paper now? When I saw the certificate, I naturally thought of the stars, and I found that I had not seen the stars when I entered the house.

"Stars, stars!" I was about to ask Guo Mei, but Yang Yang was already calling the name of the stars. But Guo Mei stopped Yang Yang's call and said that Xing Xing was doing his homework in the back room, so don't disturb him.

Since Guo Mei didn't want us to disturb his son, I didn't want to stay longer, so I asked Lu Tao to move a bag of potatoes from the corner, and after paying Guo Mei, I turned around and walked to the door with Yangyang, ready to leave. I didn't want Guo Mei to stop me and said that she wanted to talk to me. She pulled me to another bedroom and sat me on the edge of the bed with her.

"Alas!" What I didn't expect was that Guo Mei's opening remarks were a sigh.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

At this time, Guo Mei closed the bedroom door tightly and whispered to me: "Xingxing seems to have a bad brain, and his academic performance has been declining, and he has fallen to after the second hundred in the grade." ”

"What is the reason, do you know?" I asked again.

"I don't know, maybe this kid doesn't like to study now!" Guo Mei said with a sad face.

"Don't like to study, but every time I come to your house, I see Xingxing studying at the table, and I have never seen him do anything else. I said puzzled.

"You see him learning on the surface, but in fact we are forcing him to learn, and he himself doesn't want to study at all, so he can't do a few questions on the table for half a day, which is very inefficient. ”

Hearing Guo Mei say this, I persuaded her: "You have to let him play for a while, keep learning, it will be annoying to anyone, let him relax and relax and learn again." ”

I knew that Guo Mei did not accept my suggestion, I persuaded her for many years, she never listened to me, and she still said to me, "Then there is time to relax? He is already a junior high school student, and he is about to take the high school entrance examination, can he do it if he doesn't hurry up?"

"Continuous learning is tiring. I said.

"The same goes for other children, the child in my downstairs family is also in the third year of junior high school, and they don't go to bed until one o'clock every night, so aren't they tired?

Guo Mei gave me an example, but I didn't understand it anymore, so I said to her, "Do you think it's good to learn a little bit at night?"

"It's not a question of good or bad, it's something that can't be helped, now the competition is so fierce, if you don't learn, you will be squeezed out by others!"

I admit that this time is the same as before, I have no ability to change Guo Mei's mind at all, since I can't change her, then I can only comfort her, I said: "You don't have to worry, Xingxing is a very smart child, and he will definitely be admitted to university in the future." ”

"It's hard to get in with his current grades. Guo Mei still shook her head vigorously.

"It doesn't matter if you can't pass the exam, if you can't get into college, it doesn't mean that you won't have a way out in the future, hasn't Lu Tao never gone to college? Isn't it okay to live a good life now? In the future, it's okay to let your child learn a trade or do a business." ”

When we talked about this, Guo Mei's husband came back from outside, he came in and said hello to our family of three, and then said that he wanted to see if Xingxing's homework had started, so he went to the room where Xingxing studied.

Seeing Guo Mei's husband come back, I also want to go home, and besides, Yangyang's homework hasn't been done yet, and I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it if I'm late. I explained this to Guo Mei, got up and walked out with Lu Tao and Yangyang, but as soon as we walked to the center of the living room, we heard a few loud sounds of "pop, pop!" from the stars, followed by the cries of the stars.

I, Lu Tao and Guo Mei rushed in almost at the same time, and then I was surprised to see that Guo Mei's husband was slapping the stars, but Guo Mei did not stop her husband immediately, as if she already knew the reason, and asked his husband: "Is he not doing his homework well?"

"When I came in, he actually crawled on the table to sleep!" Guo Mei's husband stopped for a while, said angrily, and then threw off his arm and hit Xingxing's face, and did not scold in his mouth: "I let you sleep, let you sleep!"

"Stop fighting!" I really couldn't stand it anymore, and yelled at Guo Mei's husband.

"This child can't do it if he doesn't fight, and he's becoming more and more disobedient!" Guo Mei on the side was still helping his husband speak, as if the couple and the child were enemies.

At this time, like a mad cow, I rushed over and crashed into Guo Mei's husband, and as a result, I fell to the ground at the same time as him. Unfortunately, my head hit the corner of the table in the process of falling, and by the time Lu Tao pulled me up, my face was covered in blood.

"What can I do about this? What can I do about this?" Guo Mei was frightened when she saw my head bleeding, and stood in place, not knowing what to do.

"Call 120. Guo Mei's husband, who had already stood up, picked up the phone and wanted to call the doctor.

Seeing this, I stepped forward to stop him and said, "Don't call 120, let's drive to the hospital by ourselves, but I hope you won't beat the child again in the future, if you want to beat again, I won't recognize you as friends in the future!"

After I finished speaking, Lu Tao supported me, and Yang Yang, who had been in a state of panic, followed behind us, and our family of three left this terrible family!

Guo Mei and her husband also came out with us, got into my family's car together, and accompanied me to the hospital.

Fortunately, I only scratched a little skin, and the doctor applied a potion, wrapped a circle of gauze around my head, and told us to go back.

On the way back, I said to Guo Mei's husband, "Do you know what you did just now? It's an illegal act! It's also illegal to beat your own child! Besides, how much harm you will cause to your child? How sad is he? I don't understand, how can you bear to beat your own child?"

Listening to my accusation, Guo Mei's husband didn't say anything, only Guo Mei spoke, she said: "We are also for his good, no matter how strict it is, how can he have a good way out in the future?"

As soon as I heard this, I became angry again, and said, "For the sake of the child, please don't use love as an excuse to beat the child, okay? Besides, you don't exactly want your child to have a good life in the future, to a large extent, you want to change your own destiny with the help of your child, and you want to live a good life with your child! But let me tell you, if you continue to manage it like this, you will destroy the stars, and if you let go, maybe the stars will develop better!"

I don't know if the couple listened to my advice, but in my car, they didn't refute, maybe they were embarrassed to refute.

Lu Tao sent the couple back first, and then drove me and Yangyang home. When I got home, Lu Tao, who hadn't spoken much along the way, spoke to me, and he said, "Can you ignore other people's affairs in the future?" and make yourself like this, people who don't know still think that you are fighting with others. ”

"No matter? Why don't you have any sympathy at all? Can you ignore seeing the stars being beaten like that? If they want to hit the stars again in the future, I will call the police!" I said angrily to Lu Tao.

"What can I do if I call the police? This kind of domestic police also say that they have a few words, how much effect can it play?" Lu Tao said.

At this time, Yang Yang came over and asked me worriedly: "Mom, do you say that Xingxing Dad will still fight Xingxing?"

"I don't know, it shouldn't be, if he still hits Xingxing's mother, call the police to arrest him!" I comforted Yangyang, obviously he was frightened. (To be continued.) )
