Chapter 20: What's the Use of Women Reading So Many Books?

The man wanted to lift the boy, but the boy was too fat for the man to support. At this time, Li Xiao saw the woman rushing to the boy's side and assisting the man in helping the boy up.

And slowly move the boy to the side of the road. The woman and the man tried to take the boy to the car. The boy remained motionless.

Suddenly, the boy cried again: I want to go home, I want to go home. The man is angry, what's the matter with you, go home and go home, what is there to cry about.

Hearing the man's anger, the boy cried even harder. Then the woman said to the man: Stop talking, let him be quiet.

Boys are taller and fatter than women. The woman hugged the boy and comforted:

"Okay, let's go home, let's go home." After a few minutes of this, the boy's mood calmed down.

Then, the woman and the man led the boy into the car. From their conversation, Li Xiao learned that the reason why the boy lost control of his emotions was because of his father's reprimand.

Fortunately, there were not many cars at the time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. Looking at the cars in the distance, they are all the hearts of parents all over the world, and Li Xiao felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

A boy's relationship with a man is like her relationship with her father. Fierce confrontations are incompatible. She even wondered if she and her children would be able to live in peace in a few years.

After walking a little further, she saw the sign of the copper mine, and she knew that she was not far from her aunt's house, so she quickened her pace and continued to move forward.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, she arrived at her aunt's house. My aunt and grandpa were getting ready to eat. Seeing Li Xiao, who was sunburned, was surprised.

Hurriedly beckoned her over for dinner. Li Xiao was so thirsty that he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he drank a big bowl of water to quench his thirst before sitting down.

"What's going on?"

"Come and see you."

"Quarreled with your father again, right?" Grandma didn't believe Li Xiao's nonsense, she wouldn't come all year round, except for the New Year's holidays or quarrels with her father.

Grandma thinks that Li Xiao is too big, vain, and pursues good, but the conditions here are poor, and the children don't like to come.

It's not that Li Xiao doesn't want to come, but her aunt's nagging is more terrible than her father's. The father is simple and straightforward, while the aunt and grandmother are the truths and lessons, so that when you are reprimanded, you also accept her life whitewashing.

After eating, after washing, Li Xiao slept in the room on the right upstairs at the back. The room on the left is stacked with miscellaneous items and snacks.

Thinking of herself and her father, she felt that she and her father were going toe-to-toe, like the tip of a needle against Maimang, and they didn't give in to each other.

The relationship between the two is like a taut string, and if you push harder, the string is bound to break. Maybe it's better for everyone to leave.

Li Xiao thought bitterly. Tired and soon fell asleep. In the middle of the night, my stomach hurts, I went to the toilet, looked at the time at 2:38 in the morning, and I had some excretion, and I felt better.

Keep sleeping. A rustling sound woke Li Xiao up, and it turned out that the snacks next door had attracted the patronage of mice.

Li Xiao was woken up again, and the time pointed to 3:48 in the morning. Lee laughed and closed the door, the sound of the squirming next door decreased, and he continued to sleep.

"Bang bang bang," a burst of firecrackers rang out, and Li Xiao was woken up again, and the time pointed to 4:38 in the morning.

How could someone set off firecrackers at this time, Li Xiao thought to himself. After more than ten minutes, the shelling stopped, and everything was calm.

"Giggle," the rooster crowed to wake Li Xiao up again, and it was 5:38 a.m. EDT. Li Xiao was extremely depressed.

I was tossed back and forth several times in one night, and I had a splitting headache. Ready to continue sleeping, the aunt and grandmother who got up on time have already begun to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and the sound of wooden fish is in my ears.

The usual pleasant sound is all noise today, and it's just annoying. She buried herself in the quilt and forced herself to continue sleeping.

In a daze, I felt like someone was pulling the quilt.

"Who?"

"Don't get up yet, eat breakfast." My aunt said sullenly.

"What time is it?"

"It's 8 o'clock, and I didn't respond to calling you a few times."

"I didn't sleep well last night, let me sleep again."

"Why are young people so snooze, and you usually look like this when you are studying? The ancients read three watches, five watches, and the head cantilevered the beam and the cone pierced the stock, and it was only with this spirit that you were admitted to the top prize, no wonder you failed again and again. Grandma began to stimulate Li to laugh again.

"If you don't get in, you don't get in, is it necessary to read it every day?"

"Haihui's father-in-law also said that Xie Yanbo was admitted to college at the age of 11, and you will be given a watch when you are admitted to college at the age of 18, and now you are in your 20s, and you have not been admitted to college, it seems that Haihui's father-in-law's watch cannot be sent." Speaking of her good friend Haihui's father-in-law, her aunt and grandmother are only sarcastic and sarcastic about Li Xiao.

Haihui's father-in-law and aunt and grandmother became friends of Jinlan when they were young, cut their hair and became nuns, and were given the Dharma name

"Haihui". I knew it would be so painful to get here, so I didn't come in the first place. Li Xiao thought to herself.

"What are your plans now?"

"No plan, sleep." Li Xiao said impatiently.

"I know to sleep all day. It's a shame that your parents are busy coming and going, and all your hard work has been wasted. "My aunt and grandmother always looked at my father, but Li Xiao simply didn't listen to it and stuffed herself in the quilt.

When my aunt saw that Li Xiao was sleeping again, she had to leave stupidly, so she simply ignored her and went to sleep with her. Continue to sleep in the mix.

When Li Xiao woke up again, he found that it was dark all around.

"It can't be a dream, it's night." Li Xiao thought to herself. After getting dressed, I got up and found my aunt and grandfather sitting at the table eating.

"I'm finally up, let's come over for dinner."

"Ah, it's dinner."

"yes, you can sleep, too." My aunt and grandmother and my aunt and grandfather both eat fasting and chanting Buddha, and the usual dishes are either green vegetables and radishes or cabbage and tofu, and tonight's dishes are a series of vegetarian dishes, Li Xiao looked at it and stuck out his tongue.

"Don't throw up." My aunt and grandmother knew that Li Xiao didn't like to eat when she saw Li Xiao's expression.

"I only have some kind of food to eat, and I want to eat the good ones and go to your uncle's house." Auntie and grandmother said.

"Hmph." Li Xiao snorted. Do you want to see your uncle's face? Forget it. I won't go to death.

"You're so old, it's a waste of time to continue reading, so it's better to go out and work to earn some money to reduce your father's burden. Your father has such a heavy burden and has provided you with so many years of studying, and in the past, you have long been married and had children, and you have been reading non-stop. What's the use of a woman reading so many books, in the end she doesn't get married, and the books are married to someone else's family. "Grandma is chattering again.

"Many of your classmates on this street are married, graduated from elementary school, graduated from junior high school, all of them are married and have children, they haven't read much, and their lives are good. Every time someone asks me what you're doing, and I say you're studying for the university entrance exam, your classmates laugh and say, "I'm still studying, how old is my son?" I'm embarrassed. You said that it's okay to be admitted, but after studying for so many years, you didn't get in, so it's better to be those who didn't repeat it! Li Xiao automatically chose to block it, and she would definitely go crazy if she listened to it again.

"Do you remember Aunt Chen's daughter, Sister Hua? You laughed at her at the time for only scoring more than 30 points in mathematics, and when people were laughed at, they studied hard, were admitted to the technical secondary school, and now they are working as nurses in Xiangya. ”

"I'm laughing at her sister Lan." Li Xiao argued.

"No matter who you say, you have to be able to take back what you say, and when you laugh at others, you must know that one day you may be ridiculed by others. It doesn't matter if you are laughed at, you must be able to work hard after being laughed at, and strive to do better to others, rather than sinking yourself and giving up on yourself. "Grandma doesn't care so much, a lot of things keep talking.

Li Xiao couldn't imagine that his elementary school and junior high school were spent under the nagging of his aunt and grandmother.

I can't stay any longer, who knows what old accounts my aunt and grandmother will turn over. After resting for the night, I asked my aunt for the next morning for the passage and took a ride home.
