Chapter 231: One Man's Battle...
If a person's life has always been based on rational choices, then one day they will regret their choice.
Although those rational choices may save them a lot of detours, although those rational choices may make their lives start smoothly. However, it would be a pity if people did not have emotion once in their lives!
Yang Fan understands very well that he is a person who longs to be able to make rational choices all the time, but has never been able to truly make rational choices.
He really wanted to be the protagonist who only did what was good for him like in the novels he had read, and he tried to change a lot for this. However, he still can't be that kind of person after all.
In the reader and his future, he chose the reader in the end.
He is very smart and stupid, but it is this kind of very smart but very stupid person who can write stories that really change other people's lives.
Yang Fan sent away the moon god who had been shocked thoughtfully, he let out a long sigh and began to update.
Today's story is called: The Battle of a Man.
It's about the son of a grocery store owner on an old street, let's call that kid Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming is the son of a grocery store owner and an ordinary sixth-grade elementary school student. He is very ordinary, so ordinary that he is ordinary in terms of appearance, academic performance and family. But he has always been happy because of this ordinary.
However, he has not been very happy recently, because of the arrival of various big brand convenience stores in the shopping street, his family's business has plummeted. Because he was basically barely able to make ends meet every month, his parents began to fight over business.
This made this twelve-year-old simple child understand the importance of money for the first time.
He really wanted his parents to stop arguing over money, to be as close as they used to be, to be as close as they used to be, and to have a simple and joyful smile on their faces every day because of the small progress in the grocery store as before.
However, Xiao Ming doesn't understand... If there is no money in this society, then it is basically difficult to smile.
However, Xiao Ming understands... What do you want!
So, Xiao Ming began to work hard to become extraordinary, began to study hard, and wanted to make his parents happy with good grades!
But... Xiao Ming has always been just an ordinary child, although he has worked hard, although he has made a small progress! But compared to those smart and excellent children, his progress is too slow.
Of course, his efforts are not without fruit, at least, in the eyes of his parents, he has grown up, at least in front of him will not quarrel.
As time goes by, the outdated thing like grocery stores is still squeezed by those new convenience store chains, and there is no longer even the only living space.
When Xiao Ming's parents were at a loss, the manager of a well-known foreign brand convenience store came to the door, and he persuaded Xiao Ming's parents to transform and join their own store.
He valued the connections and experience accumulated by Xiao Ming's parents who had opened a store here for decades, which was originally a good thing. However, the managers of well-known convenience stores abroad put forward some strict and harsh conditions.
After all, the chain already has a store on this street.
One of those strict and harsh conditions is to let him go to a backup store, that is, let them spare no effort to recommend another store, and then, they took the initiative to provide Xiao Ming's parents with goods, saying that they were supporting, but the products written in the contract were basically either popular or about to expire.
Xiao Ming's parents began to hesitate when they saw this condition, because, although his business was not good, they had been doing business for decades, and they had always paid attention to integrity, and things that were about to expire had never appeared in his store.
And they have been doing business in the neighborhood for decades, and they also pay special attention to the "good quality and low price" of the goods, and they repeatedly have those goods that are far more beautiful than themselves, and they will have to pay a few more yuan than usual, so that Xiao Ming's parents are completely unhappy from their conscience!
But can conscience feed them and go back to the way they were?
Xiao Ming's father began to hesitate, but Xiao Ming's mother was moved to listen to the manager's promise of a bright future.
So, they quarreled again at night. This time they quarreled for a long time. Xiao Ming also listened to it for a long time.
Of course, in the end, my father couldn't resist my mother's stubborn decision, and a month later, he completely joined the convenience store of that well-known foreign brand.
After this decision was made, there was no smile on my father's face.
Xiao Ming looked at his father, who had not smiled for a week, and he finally made a decision.
Xiao Ming took out all the pocket money he had saved over the years, only about two hundred yuan, and went to the wholesale market one weekend to buy a large bundle of colorful origami and beautiful glass bottles.
Xiao Ming is a very ordinary boy, with all the frizzy shortcomings of a boy, he only folded for half an hour, and thought about giving up, but he gritted his teeth and persevered for his father's smile.
This weekend, he didn't go out to play as usual, he folded all the paper cranes and little stars.
When Xiao Ming saw the dozen bottles of paper cranes and little stars, he finally laughed happily.
He took a dozen bottles of paper cranes and little stars on the bus, went to a place where no one knew him, and sold them.
Maybe it's because the child is too young, or maybe it's because the heart-to-heart thousand paper cranes and little stars have an unusual brilliance, and his thousand paper cranes and little stars are quickly sold out.
Since he didn't know the market price, Xiao Ming only earned about fifty yuan.
With the money he earned, he went to the wholesale market again at night, bought more colorful origami and more glass bottles, and returned home with his dream of his father smiling again.
But this world is cruel, Xiao Ming folded for a week, when he went to that place to sell again, he received a counterfeit coin of 100 yuan, the counterfeit coin was given to him by a beautiful young lady, and she praised him for being a sensible little boy when she handed him the counterfeit coin.
Xiao Ming helplessly took the counterfeit coin, stood helplessly in the night, he silently looked at his fingers that felt pain because of the origami, and began to hate himself, hating himself for being so careless.
Because of the counterfeit money he received, he basically lost two weeks, and in order to save money, he could only follow the bus to the wholesale market, and then to his home.
And Xiao Ming's parents saw that their son had just shown signs of improvement, but he returned to the time when he was "playful" before, and his parents, who had been suppressed for a long time, began to reprimand him indiscriminately, and also broke a few glass bottles he bought.
Maybe it's because of the impact of counterfeit money today, so Xiao Ming just endured all this silently.
In the dead of night, when his parents were asleep, Xiao Ming secretly got up and glued the glass bottle with 502 glue, and in the process of sticking, he finally couldn't help crying quietly.
After crying, he folded the paper cranes again.
Because of staying up late for a long time, he was not in a good state at school, and he became silent.
He just used all the time he had every day to stack thousands of paper cranes and little stars, and fill them in those beautiful glass bottles.
His anomaly caught the attention of several of his friends, and when they asked him why he didn't play with him like a girl, he still replied with silence.
This made his few friends feel angry at being ignored, and it also made those friends laugh at Xiao Ming in a sissy voice like the other bad boys in the class.
Xiao Ming, except to endure it, did not make any moves.
As if he was supposed to be.
One weekend, his homeroom teacher found Xiao Ming on the street and found that Xiao Ming was actually setting up a stall, which made her very angry. She stepped forward to ask Xiao Ming, but under the teacher's serious questioning, Xiao Ming finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried and told the reason.
He just wanted his father not to be sad about making unhappy choices for money. He just wants to... Seeing the same smiles on my parents' faces as before.
His words touched the teacher and many passers-by, and they took out a lot of money to support this kind child, but Xiao Ming just collected the money that should have been collected, and he returned the excess money.
Under the filming of people with hearts, Xiao Ming's sale of thousands of paper cranes has been on many video app websites, which has aroused a lot of attention.
However, there are also many people who question that this is a hype, after all, how can today's children be like him?
questioned and those with ulterior motives, so Xiao Ming had to keep changing places to sell thousands of paper cranes.
Later, one day, a good neighbor saw the video and found Xiao Ming's parents.
At this time, they understood Xiao Ming's abnormal behavior during this time, they asked the neighborhood to look at the store, and went crazy to find Xiao Ming.
Later, they found Xiao Ming, who was fighting alone, and they couldn't help crying when they looked at Xiao Ming's calloused hands.
Later, Xiao Ming handed his father all the four hundred yuan he earned during this period and the original two hundred yuan, and his father looked at the innocent but unusually heavy six hundred yuan with the child, and he didn't smile.
He just cried.
Perhaps, he will laugh again in his heart.
This is the end of the story, Yang Fan did not write the ending of the grocery store owner, nor did he write that the grocery store owner laughed or did not laugh at the end. It's just left to the audience with an open-ended ending.
This story made many readers who already have children can't help but cry with the essence of the story, and it also makes many children who originally didn't understand why their parents made decisions that they didn't think were in line with their hearts in their hearts, and began to think about the problem from their parents' point of view.
Perhaps, this is not Xiao Ming's battle alone, but a battle for many people alone, because everyone fights in their own way and fate, life, and life.
There is no right or wrong choice, no matter what choice you make, you may regret it in the future, as long as you can remember your original intention. Then, you will have no regrets in life!
