Chapter Twenty-Four: My Sister's Thoughts
Wang Feng and Li Jie have been chatting and eating all the time, but Yingying and I have our own hearts. And those two happy people didn't pay much attention to us. The meal, in the second half of such discord, ended.
Wang Feng sent us home, and Yingying and I got out of the car first.
I don't know how to speak, I hope she will take the initiative to tell me.
At the moment, instead of being angry, I am worried.
My younger sister is in the sixth grade this year, and she is about to face the choice of a good junior high school, and learning is very important for her. My stepmother has always had high hopes for my sister, but now it happened that my sister used my money to invite her classmates to dinner. This is not a good phenomenon for my current sister, in case it affects her studies, how can she do it?
But my sister didn't speak, and I had to speak first when I saw that I was about to get home.
"Yingying, my sister wants to ask you, where did you get the money to invite your classmates to dinner today?"
My sister hesitated, pretended to be calm, and said to me loudly, "Mom gave it." ”
"Yingying, are you afraid that I will wait and verify with my mother?"
There was a clear look of fear on her sister's face, and she was a little overwhelmed.
I continued, "Yingying, my sister believes that you are not that kind of child, can you tell me why?" Making a mistake once doesn't mean you're not good, in my sister's heart, you're still a good boy, as long as you don't make such mistakes again, I promise you that I won't tell my mother, okay? ”
My sister started crying, and I took out a tissue to help her wipe the tears from her face.
"Sister, then you promise me that you must not tell your mother, I will never dare to take money next time."
"Okay, I promise you, you also have to promise my sister that you will do what you say, and you will not be able to take anyone's money casually in the future. If there is any need, you have to discuss it with your mother, if your mother doesn't give it to you, you can also come to your sister, but you can't be so sneaky, we have to be open, okay. ”
Ying Ying nodded and told me the ins and outs of the matter.
That day, after eating, Ying Ying said to her stepmother that the last time she promised to invite her classmates to dinner, it was in the western restaurant outside our cadre college, and more than 100 was enough, and asked her stepmother to give her 200 yuan. The stepmother asked her why she invited her classmates to dinner, and the younger sister said that she made a bet with her classmates and played pranks at the class meeting, and whoever lost was treated. In the end, because my sister didn't have the guts, she finally gave up the prank, and the other three classmates all made corresponding pranks. So, my sister wants to invite them to dinner.
However, when the stepmother heard this reason, not only did she not give money, but she also scolded her sister. My sister felt very wronged, so she ran out of the house to find me. It just so happened that it was when the two sisters in the dormitory went to wash the dishes. My sister was lying on my bed, depressed, and when she reached out and took out the money from under the pillow, she saw that it was more than three hundred. After thinking about it for a moment, I put it in my pocket and ran away.
Thousands of calculations, it can't be counted as a profit. But luckily, she didn't take the money to do anything bad.
Figuring out the ins and outs, I said to my sister, "Yingying, bet it's okay. However, to bet is to bet on useful content. For example, to see who has good test scores, who is serious in class, whose notes are the most detailed, etc., these bets that are helpful for studying, play casually, and my sister supports you. In addition, it is right to be willing to gamble and lose. However, you shouldn't secretly take your sister's money, no matter whose money you have. You should discuss with your sister, if your sister can give it to you, she will give it to you, and if your sister doesn't give it to you, then there must be a reason for your sister. Therefore, Yingying, at any time, we must be worthy of our own morality, no matter whether others can see it or not, we must do our best. Otherwise, it's lying to yourself, understand? ”
"Well, I see, sister, I'm sorry. There are more than a hundred left, and I will give it back to you. ”
I took the money handed over by Ying Ying, counted it, and there were one hundred and thirty-eight yuan left.
I put one hundred and eight in my pocket, and the other thirty, and gave it to my sister.
"Yingying, my sister knows that my mother usually has the habit of giving you pocket money, so I hope that you can save the extra money, when you are useful, such as this time, your mother will not give you money, if you have your own savings, will you not do bad things?"
My sister nodded, and I continued: "These thirty yuan, my sister gave you, as the first money you saved, isn't your piggy bank of the big golden pig empty?" Wait a minute, and you'll put the money in. In the future, don't spend the pocket money your mother gives you, just save a little if you can. When it's time for the Chinese New Year, take it out and show it to your sister, if you save enough two hundred yuan, your sister will reward you with fifty, do you say okay? ”
My sister happily took the money and said to me: "Sister, what you said is very right, I can't rely on my mother for everything, I will save money with my sister in the future." ”
"Well, then let's go home, go back happily, go back happily, don't let mom see anything."
We sisters entered the house hand in hand.
Sure enough, the stepmother sat on the couch with a black face.
When he saw me and Yingying coming back together, he asked me, "Why is it so late?" ”
"Oh, we went to pick up my sister and go out to dinner with my classmates after school early."
"Then you should tell me too!" My stepmother blamed me with an unhappy face.
"Yes, I'm sorry Mom, my phone is out of battery, so I didn't call back, next time I will definitely say it in advance."
"I know it's you, such a well-behaved child Yingying, one day you will be broken! Hum! After my stepmother yelled at me viciously, she immediately turned her face and said to her sister with a smile: "Yingying, what did you eat just now?" Have you eaten enough? Mom made you your favorite chicken wings. ”
"I was full, and my sister took me to eat Pizza Hut. Also, I called my sister and asked her to take me out to eat, don't blame my sister anymore. ”
When my stepmother heard my sister say this, she looked at me in disgust and perfunctory her: "Okay, I know, there is fruit there, you can go eat it." ”
"yes, okay." My sister agreed, walked over to the table, took out two apples, and handed me one.
I didn't want it, and I knew that while Apple wasn't worth anything, my stepmother would be unhappy.
But my sister insisted on putting it in my hands, so I had to take it.
My sister took a big bite, "Sister, you eat, why don't you eat?" ”
"Oh, I really can't eat it." With that, I put the apple back in the fruit bowl.
My sister immediately brought it to me again: "Sister, we just ate the one and now feel dry mouth, it's just right to eat a big apple, you can eat it." ”
In desperation, I had no choice but to pick up the apple, look at my stepmother, and bite into it.
My stepmother was eating with her head down and didn't look at us at all, so I was relieved.
Maybe she thinks that Yingying just spoke for me, and she can't say anything about me anymore, or maybe, this apple, she won't care about it this time. Either way, I couldn't stop my sister's enthusiasm.
"Yingying, I'm back in the dormitory, I'm very tired from today's sports meeting, and I want to rest early."
"Okay, sister, bye."
I lowered my head and whispered to her, "Remember our agreement~"
My sister smiled at me and nodded. I could see that there was sincerity and confidence in her nod.
