Chapter 23: Know Yourself
Before Lin Mengfan went home, she didn't forget to pick up the puppet figure that fell in the muddy water, and when she returned home, her grandmother helped her change into clean clothes and pants.
While helping to change clothes, the grandmother asked her granddaughter: "You tell grandma, who started beating people first?" ”
Lin Mengfan was a little timid and honestly explained: "I hit him first...... But! He was the one who scolded me first! Bully me! ”
Grandma taught her granddaughter: "It's wrong for him to scold you!" But you're even more wrong to hit him! You're all bullying! It's just that scolding can be corrected, but it's hard to change when fighting! ”
Lin Mengfan heard that his grandmother's tone was very serious, and he was so frightened that he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry!" Grandma, it's not right for me to hit someone! Don't be angry! ”
"Your dad handed you over to grandma, and grandma wanted to teach you well! If it is useful to apologize, then the whole world will be completely messed up! "Grandma was a little disappointed in her granddaughter.
But she blames herself more for not educating her children well.
Lin Mengfan was very insecure, and asked cautiously: "Grandma!" If I had my parents by my side, wouldn't others scold me for being sick? ”
The granddaughter's words stinged the grandmother, and she hugged the poor child and said, "Remember, don't hit anyone even if you get angry again, and how can you be sick?" You are a smart and lovely child, and when others scold you, they are scolding themselves. ”
"When others scold me, they are scolding themselves!" Lin Mengfan learned from his grandmother's tone.
Grandma touched her granddaughter's little head, "That's right! So when someone scolds him, why should you deal with a fool who scolds him? Aren't you a fool if you care? ”
Lin Mengfan smiled knowingly, "Yes! I shouldn't be following the example of others! ”
Although the grandmother can't help her granddaughter change the unhappy family, she will say very down-to-earth: "The most important thing is to be happy in life, don't care too much about other people's opinions!" ”
Only the closest grandmother would tell her that her feelings matter, and that others don't care much about how she feels.
Lin Mengfan, who often seeks troubles for unnecessary people and things, begins to understand that his soul needs to be tempered.
When she is faced with other people's remarks, she still lacks the ability to respond, and she can't tell which opinions are helpful to her and which are deliberately hurtful words.
Letting emotions influence his behavior makes it easy for Lin Mengfan to do wrong things impulsively.
She can only be truly happy when she realizes what she needs, and what she doesn't need.
Just like now, she realizes that the puppeteer is too ugly by herself, and Dumb's clothes are wet and dirty, and it needs to change into clean clothes and remove the ugly pencil makeup on her face.
When Lin Mengfan learned that Dumb needed her help, this feeling of being needed made her quickly find a baby dress that she couldn't wear after changing her clothes.
She changed out of the black clothes on Dumb's body and put on white cotton clothes for him, the white cotton clothes were Lin Mengfan's baby clothes when he was a baby, and she was just right on him.
As for the ugly pencil makeup on Dumb's face, Lin Mengfan spent a lot of effort, washing with water, wiping with a cloth, and rubbing with soap, but he didn't get rid of the ugly appearance left on his wooden face.
Lin Mengfan was tired of washing Dumb's face, and if she washed it again, she would wash Dumb's face, the weather at home was humid, and she was worried that the wet Dumb wouldn't be able to dry it, so she brought an electric fan to blow the wet puppet.
