Chapter 6 Village-style Morality
The three brothers on the opposite side glanced at Zhang Tao with disdain, their faces were full of contempt, they didn't believe Zhang Tao's words at all, they couldn't deceive people with this trick! "Scared, do you think that my mother is here to scare us? This kind of little trick can also be used to be scary? When our three brothers are fools. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info let me tell you, if you don't beat your kid to cry today, our three brothers will have your surname! My mom didn't come back that soon. ”
Zhang Tao looked at the three brothers who rushed over a little helplessly, these three bear children are really difficult. But before he could make another move, a loud roar suddenly came from behind the three brothers: "Hey, you three rabbit cubs have hard wings?" Now even the old lady can't scare you, are you ready to rebel? ”
The three brothers who were rushing immediately stopped their steps when they heard the sound behind them, and when they looked back, their old lady was carrying a bamboo basket with a few cabbages in it, and was looking at them with an angry face. The three of them were frightened when they saw this situation, and they couldn't care about teaching Zhang Tao a lesson anymore, so they ran to the side of their house, as if they were about to hide in the village.
This trick will be used by children at this time, if you go home directly, you will definitely be beaten, hide somewhere else, and wait for the adults in the family to disappear and then go back, but they will not be beaten. So if you encounter an adult who is angry, generally clever children will hide, and there are also honest people who get up and be beaten, of course, there are exceptions.
"Run, run as hard as you can! If you have the ability, don't go home tonight, or I'll see how I clean you up when I go back. If you go home honestly and kneel now, I probably won't beat you again. Wang Ming's wife didn't chase her three bear children, but stood there calmly and leisurely and shouted to the three brothers who fled in a panic.
As soon as the three brothers who were running over there heard this, they immediately did not dare to run, as if they had often been threatened by such words, and they had already formed a natural reflex. The three brothers glanced at each other dejectedly, and complained that Wang Ming shouldn't have brought them to fight, forgetting that they had always been like this before, and the three brothers went out to fight together, and then walked honestly to their own door.
At this time, although the people in the countryside were not very rich materially, they were indeed very rich spiritually, just like Zhang Tao's fight today. When the children of the two families fought, the adults each dragged their children home to teach them a lesson, and even if they pretended to be pretended, they would pretend to show others. So adults never blush because of children's fighting, in their eyes children play is normal, if you don't win, you can win next time you win back, adults never blush because of this kind of thing, and the relationship between them is very harmonious.
But more than ten years later, at that time, we were materially rich, but the spirit and morality did not rise, and the children did not win the game and the adults played, and in the end, the original two children fought in the end, but in the end, it rose to the battle of the two families, and this kind of thing is often seen. And the relationship between adults has also become indifferent, and it is common to see people who use knives and weapons when they quarrel with each other, and even kill people for a little thing.
Wang Ming's mother didn't pay attention to Zhang Tao, maybe she didn't know how to express her emotions, she wanted to be angry, her three bear babies beat one of them, or they were smaller than them, but the three of them were all made like mud monkeys, and they didn't have anything to do, and they were embarrassed to go to Zhang Tao's house to sue Zhang Tao for a wrench.
But if you don't want to be angry, those three bear babies are like mud monkeys, and the clothes on this snowy day are also difficult to wash, and even more difficult to dry, so they have to be dried by the stove. What's even more depressing is that the cotton clothes worn by children at this time are generally only one set, which gets wet and changes it and washes it and then dries it, so a few bear babies will have to freeze for a few days.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang Ming became more and more uncomfortable in her heart, and after glancing at Zhang Tao coldly, she felt that she must teach the three bear babies a good lesson tonight. Three big bullies can't win a small one, and the old lady has to wash so many clothes in the cold, how can she not beat them up and vent her anger? As for the three bear babies who just said that they could reduce their sentences when they went home honestly, she had already forgotten about them.
Zhang Tao ignored Wang Ming's reaction, the reaction on her face was normal, it would be strange if she gave herself a smile. However, as long as Wang Ming's mother went back at night to beat her children, it is estimated that tomorrow the children in their entire village will know that the three brothers of Wang Ming will not be able to beat Zhang Tao alone.
At this time, adults and children always like to scream, and then the neighboring villages can hear the sound of teaching children here. Then the parents of other children will immediately indoctrinate this example with their own children: "Look at whose child is beaten for disobedience, you must not be like him in the future, or you will be beaten the same." ”
Thinking about the result of the fight between himself and the three brothers Wang Ming, Zhang Tao felt that he should be able to walk sideways on this road from school in the future, and it is estimated that few people will dare to provoke him, even in school. While thinking like this, Zhang Tao quickened his pace and rushed towards his home, he had been delayed a lot of time after school today, and there were still a lot of things at home that he needed to go back to do, so he had to go back quickly.
Zhang Tao's family has three brothers and sisters, and he also has a brother named Daniel Zhang. I'm in the sixth grade now, and I'm about to face the graduation exam for junior high school. At this time, the junior high school graduation examination is not the kind of nine-year compulsory education that you can go directly to junior high school in later generations, and you can go to junior high school no matter what your grades are.
At this time, the nine-year compulsory education shouted very loudly, but the ordinary junior high school admission rate is very low, and the tuition fee is more expensive than a semester, it is not like any nine-year compulsory education at all, but like using this slogan to slaughter the common people as pigs, and the most incredible thing is that the tuition fee is so high, but the teacher's salary is difficult to pay, especially the substitute teacher, who often drags on a semester and a year to pay.
Zhang Tao remembered that his brother had only admitted five in their class this year, and the other twenty or so were not promoted. And Daniel Zhang just didn't get into the family to sell a pig to send him to junior high school, and what was even more depressing was that in the end, he didn't even get a junior high school graduation certificate for three years of junior high school, or spent another hundred yuan to buy a graduation certificate from the school. This has become the most unhappy thing in Zhang Tao's mother's heart - in the next few years, as long as he goes to junior high school for three years, anyone can go back with a junior high school graduation certificate without money, as if this kind of certificate has no value.
Daniel Zhang usually walks with his classmates and never follows Zhang Tao all the way. Because Daniel Zhang's grades are very bad and Zhang Tao's grades are very good, he generally doesn't care much about Zhang Tao. The two brothers are afraid to give others a comparison all the way, and the most popular at this time is probably the children of other people's families, even the brothers are compared, and the grades are not as good as their own brothers, and coming together hurts their self-esteem.
Zhang Tao's younger sister is named Zhang Yan, and she is still in preschool. At this time, there was no such tall thing as a kindergarten in the countryside, only a preschool. Children who turn six are sent directly to preschool, where they complete two terms of a year and then move up from first grade. The preschool curriculum is different from other grades, with two classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon, which is earlier than other grades. So today's Zhang Tao was left behind for a while, and because of the fight on the road, he was the last to go home.
At this time, Zhang Tao's house was still the kind of tiled house built of adobe bricks, two and a half earthen houses next to each other, half a kitchen, one bedroom, and one as a bedroom and a living room. These houses were built by his grandfather, and they are decades old in their generation, and they look a little dilapidated. The roof tiles leak when it rains heavily, and small holes appear in the walls around it from time to time, and the north wind blows into the room in winter, making it feel cold.
When he returned home, Zhang Yan and Daniel Zhang were roasting around the fire, and his mother estimated that he had not returned from going out to be busy. Zhang Tao's family is a door-to-door son-in-law, and his father works in the south all the year round -- at this time, it is not called a part-time job, but a side job. At most, I go home once a year during the Chinese New Year, and I usually don't go home. Because the train is not easy to ride, it is to take the green cage car, which is stuffy and ugly, and it is difficult to sit on, and it takes two days to ride. That's like Zhang Tao's rebirth in his previous life, from the south to their city, the high-speed rail is enough in two hours.
So now all the things in the family are on Zhang Tao's mother alone, because Zhang Tao's family and his grandparents' family live separately. And Zhang Tao's mother has to take three children again, and she has to be busy alone with the work in the fields. The population of several people in the family plus the dry land, all rely on manual operation, the hard work can be imagined, almost every day is to get up early and greedy for darkness, and there is little time to rest throughout the year, so now people in their thirties look like people in their forties.
Zhang Tao looked at the two people who were roasting the fire and didn't say anything, he was similar in his previous life, and he rarely took the initiative to do housework after school, he was all looking for all kinds of excuses to be lazy, and he never did it if his mother didn't tell them, even if his mother worked so hard every day, their three brothers and sisters rarely understood the hard work of being a mother. At that time, Zhang Tao's mother always said that "the poor raise their children, and the rich see the dragon and the grandson." ”
The approximate meaning of this is that people who have no money are reluctant to spend their own money, reluctant to let their children suffer like themselves, and always hope that their children will have a good life, and raise their children very squeamish. And those who have money will take strict care of their children and grandchildren, and they will be trained very well, anyway, this is what Zhang Tao felt from his mother's mouth.
Throwing his schoolbag into the pit, Zhang Tao first lit the firewood stove outside, and then began to heat the pig food on the stove. The big black dog at home flicked its tail and followed Zhang Tao, jumping happily, obviously it was hungry now, so when it saw pig food, it also wanted to eat, and followed Zhang Tao to eat it first.
