The atmosphere in the house was very strange, and Mom and Dad didn't talk to each other for several days.

Although they don't speak, the two also have a different tacit understanding.

During the meal, my mother shouted "Yang Moumou Fan'er has eaten", Yang Moumou and Fan'er were busy fighting for the pebbles they picked up on the side of the road and ignored their mother, but their father silently entered the kitchen and brought the food to the table.

After eating, my mother glanced at the dishes and chopsticks on the table, leaned back slightly, closed her eyes and took a nap, Yang Moumou and his sister played with the fallen rice grains and pasted them on each other's faces, and my father silently cleaned up the table and walked into the kitchen.

In the past few days, Yang Moumou and his sister have neither been scolded nor beaten, and they are a little uncomfortable. Sometimes they deliberately say something excessive, and their parents don't react. Dad won't be serious and reasonable, and Mom won't spit on the stars and stick to serve them.

It's boring. Yang turned on the TV. There are still horizontal black and white stripes and countless white dots jumping from time to time. It doesn't matter, it's better than your parents' cold faces.

My sister also ran over. The two sisters put their heads together and stared intently at the TV.

Mom spoke, "A broken TV, what is there to watch?" ”

Yang Moumou was fascinated by it, and said unconsciously, "These white dots are quite interesting, like the pockmarks on my mother's face." When the words came out, it was too late to cover his mouth.

Mom walked up to Yang Moumou and raised her big hand.

It's over, are you finally going to be beaten? Yang Moumou shrunk his neck in resignation.

Mother's hand patted Yang Moumou's head, and she didn't smile, "It's okay, Tong Yan is unscrupulous." Want to watch TV? Go to the same school, many of your classmates have bought new TVs at home. ”

Are you sure? Yang Moumou was surprised and delighted. Her mother never allowed her to go to her classmates to play TV. Mom said that it was too embarrassing to go to other people's houses to see that there was no such thing as her own.

How is it so good today? Yang Moumou got up and dragged his sister out. This kind of good thing, you have to bring your sister with you.

Yang Moumou felt that he had the demeanor of a sister. In addition, she has a little Jiujiu in her heart, in case her mother repents and says something like "tell you to go, you will go", Fan Mei can accompany her to suffer. Why not?

Yang Moumou and his sister just ran to the door and were intercepted by their father.

Dad had a cold face, "People can't be short-minded when they're poor." Not allowed to go. ”

Woohoo, what does Yang Moumou care about short and long-term? She hadn't watched TV in days.

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, can ambition be eaten as food? Can I buy a new TV? "Mom stared at Dad.

Dad didn't look at Mom, the two big hands were still in an interception posture, "People breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Ouch, Mr. Yang just has backbone." Mom said in a weird tone, "Why don't you look at the pitiful appearance of the two children?" Other people's children are well-fed, well-dressed and fun, but what about their own children? Like two little beggars! ”

That's too much, Mom! Yang Moumou shouted at his mother, "You are like a beggar!" Your whole family is like a beggar! "Children scold people like this, dragging their families and scolding.

Mom's face instantly fell, "Our family is indeed like beggars." ”

Yang Moumou looked at his mother's dignity and regretted that he had just said something like that.

Dad's expression was a little loose, and he opened his mouth to say something.

However, before Dad could say or think about what to say, Mom spoke again, "Who is to blame?" One can only blame someone for the low salary! That's why people say stinky old nine! ”

Bang dang! Dad slammed the door again.

Yang Moumou shouted at his mother, "Mom, you are too much!" Dad is obviously a glorious people's teacher! She opened the door and ran quickly to her father.

Yang Moumou followed behind his father, looking up at his father's back from time to time.

Dad hunched slightly, as if bent over by some burden. Normally, he is not like this. Outside, Dad always straightens his back and has a confident smile on his face. When someone he met greeted him, "Teacher Yang, take a walk", he bowed slightly, with a kind of intellectual temperament on his face, "Yes, you also take a walk."

He is dedicated, strict and patient with his children, and values his students' grades as well as their hobbies. The children in the class are outstanding in both grades and art and sports. People admired him and trusted him, and they fought to send the child to the father's class, hoping that the child could get the education of Teacher Yang.

In other classes, the teacher can produce echoes when the teacher speaks. In Dad's class, the desks and chairs in the classroom are densely arranged, and there is no space for students to enter and exit. Students who sit inside are usually agile so that they can quickly climb out of the toilet when they want to go to the toilet without peeing their pants!

"Dad......" Yang Moumou looked at his father's back and shouted timidly. Dad looks like this, so pitiful.

Dad stopped and sat down on a nearby rock.

Yang Moumou also walked over and sat down, she put her hands on her knees, and made a very well-behaved appearance.

"Yang'er, do you want to hear the story?" Dad patted Yang Moumou's head.

"Listen!" Yang's eyes lit up. It is just as compensation for not having TV to watch.

Dad's story is short.

A child in the mountains has a heart that wants to get out of the mountains since he was a child. He knew that only reading could change his fate.

But his family is poor, and although his family supports him, they don't have enough money for him to go to school. So he made bamboo baskets and made straw mats to sell for money, cut wheat for others and harvested rice for payment, in short, he tried every means to save money, just to be able to study. With his own efforts and the support of his family, he has always been a scholar.

He got his wish and took the exam. However, the sky did not go as expected, and he fell off the list.

Man will conquer heaven or something, it's a lie. He decided to give up. He put down his books and carried his hoe into the ground to dig up the soil. The scorching sun scorched his body, and he didn't feel hot, but his chest burned uncomfortably.

His father, with a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth and an enamel cup in his hand, came up to him.

He didn't dare to look up at his father, and the hoe swung harder. Sweat soaked his clothes and blurred his eyes.

"Crops also come to a time when the grains are not harvested. I will take the exam again next year. His father handed him the enamel cup and turned to leave.

Drops of liquid fall into the enamel cup and mix with the white sugar water inside. He threw his head up and swallowed, a little salty, a little sweeter.

The following year, he was admitted.

Daddy's story is over. He had a complicated look on his face.

Yang Moumou said, "Dad, you are amazing! ”

Dad sighed, "But your mother doesn't think so." Blame Dad, Dad's salary is indeed a bit low. ”

Yang Moumou held his father's big hand and said seriously, "Don't blame Dad." It's all my mother's fault, my mother is too chicken, and her face is big and talkative. ”

Dad's glasses almost fell, he helped his glasses and said, "Yang'er, you can't say that about Mom." ”

Yang stuck out his tongue. Dad is really a "rake ear"......

At this time, Mr. Li, who is also a "rake ear", trotted over, panting and shouting at his father, "Why are you still here?" Everybody's gone! ”

"Where to go? Do what? Dad wondered.

"Don't you know? Wages have been raised! Everybody's looking at their salaries! ”

Two "rake ears" run wildly together, followed by a small tail.

In the evening, there was one more dish on the table than usual. Mom set up the dishes and chopsticks, beckoned Yang Moumou and his sister to eat, and by the way, also called Dad.

The family of four eats and is a little silent. Yang Moumou wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by his father with his eyes.

The first to speak was her mother, who put down the dishes and chopsticks, her eyes staring at the tabletop, "I said too much today." I shouldn't say that you are a stinky old man, and I shouldn't say that you have a low salary at every turn. ”

Yang Moumou couldn't help it, and the rice in his mouth squirted, "Dad's salary is not low, Dad's salary has increased!" ”

This big mouth. Dad was a little helpless, and nodded in his mother's expectant gaze.

"After a while, let's change the TV at home." Dad said.

Mom got up, walked over to the TV, and unscrewed it.

TV again. Yang Moumou and his sister shouted "Long live"!

"Today I got someone to fix it. As you say, contentment is always happy. Mom smiled.

Dad smiled heartily.

The two children laughed along. It's nice not to have to look at my mother's pockmarks anymore.
