Chapter 311: Garr's Story
Weiz didn't know where so many words came from, and said a lot in front of Mary in one breath.
The quarrel between Mary and Weiz grew louder and louder, and Gal, who was sitting on the sidelines, did not listen to what he said at all, but ate his meal with an unusually calm expression.
It seems that he has always been so calm.
Mary and Weiz were completely different in their advice. One insisted on moving to give Gal a new environment, while the other chose not to move and lived like this.
The former is thinking about Gal's future, while the latter is self-defeating. An irresponsible approach, to be precise.
Because, if a child does not receive education, then what qualifies him to be a father?
Because he is tired of Garr's ability, tired of the cold eyes and countless withdrawal notices he has attracted, then what qualifications does he have to be the father of a child?
The quarrel between the two grew louder and louder, and they listened to the whole process without regard to Gal, and did not care about how much of a shadow this image had in a child's mind.
It seems that Garr's silent and introverted behavior made Mary and Weiz ignore him and treat him as a transparent person.
Blind eye.
"Then do you want to quarrel now?!" Weiz said in a direct showdown.
Mary's eyes glistened with tears, but as a mother, she was very strong.
"Whatever you want to do, I'm not going to let Gal drop out of school!
"How many times have I said it! Moving is not fundamental......"
"I don't want to go to school......"
Before Weiz could finish his sentence, Gar, who had been playing the clown at the dinner table, spoke.
His voice was small, but it still made the eyes of the two of them look at him.
There was a brief silence at the table, and the two stopped arguing and looked at him.
Mary spoke first, "What did you just say?!"
"I don't want to go to school. Gal responded flatly.
Gall's answer was exactly what Weiz had wanted, because Gal thought the same thing he thought, moving was not the solution. But Mary tried her best to persuade Gar to go to school.
"How can this be done? You are still young, and you must have a teacher teach you knowledge, so that when you grow up, you may become a pillar of the country. Good ~ ah ~ study hard, your mother will be next to you and always encourage you. ”
The voice was gentle, but Gal fell silent again.
"Since he doesn't want to go to school himself, what else should he do to get him to school? ”
"Do you think that a man without knowledge can do anything in society?" asked Mary, "if he doesn't go to school, what can he do at a young age?"
Weiz had nothing to say and fell silent. Yes, he didn't think about what eight-year-old Gal could do without going to school......
"I don't want to go to school. Gal reiterated again.
Mary felt that he didn't understand anything as a child like Gal, and showed a kind and kind appearance, and gently persuaded Gal.
"Good~ Your dad was just joking with you just now... Don't be afraid, we're moving tomorrow, we're changing schools tomorrow... Ah~ good... You'll have new classmates soon, obedient~~"
"But they all talk about me behind my back, that I'm a weird kid, that I'm an alien! Every one of them doesn't like to play with me! Every one of them excludes me! I don't even know what I've done wrong, let them treat me like this! Every time I change a new school, they don't want to play with me!"
Mary and Weiz listened quietly to Gal for a long time, and then they realized the cold eyes he had received at school, and then they knew what he had experienced at school.
In the eyes of parents, this is as sad as drinking vinegar. Gal hadn't said that he had been ostracized in school before, and he hadn't confided in them. Until just now, they didn't know about Gal's experience at school.
Mary and Weiz looked at each other, then said, "Is what you just said true?"
"Hmm—" Garr glanced up at Mary.
With just one look, it was tacitly confirmed that what Gal said was true!
Because, it's been a long time since Gal has spoken that long!
"You see, we didn't ask for his opinion. Weiz propped his chin and sighed slightly.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."Mary stood up and took Gal in her arms, tears streaming down her eyes, and kept saying sorry to Gal all the time.
"Mom, it's time for me to tell you I'm sorry... I don't know why they ...... me like that," said Gal in Mary's arms, helping Mary wipe away the tears that had left in her eyes.
This is a sensible child, but because socialization has become a problem, it has cast a shadow on his childhood, and he doesn't know how to express it.
Mary felt very guilty because she knew that she had kept Gal going to school and letting him live with his peers without asking him how he felt.
Sometimes when asked, Gal turned a deaf ear, and she treated it as if nothing had happened.
She thought that by constantly changing schools and moving, she would be able to get other peers to accept Gal. Even if he had a slight flaw, she believed that Gal would always be accepted.
But she didn't know that the constant moving and changing houses had caused Gal to be so seriously excluded. As parents, they should help Gal share the burden.
But Gal took it silently by himself.
"Mommy......" Gal snuggled into Mary's arms and whispered.
"Huh?" Mary struggled to keep her tears from falling.
"I don't want to go to school, I want to be with you," said Garr, who wrapped his arms around Mary's neck like an octopus.
What he needs now is family, not friends, classmates or peers.
He knew that those so-called classmates and peers would only ridicule and exclude themselves. But his own mother would smile when she saw him, and she felt very warm in her heart.
All it took was a smile to dispel the cold eyes that Gal had suffered in a day today.
And this kind of warmth is exactly what parents can give, not school, not peers, not classmates!
"Okay, okay, don't go to school..."Mary can only walk by Gal now.
If Gal hadn't told her bitter history, Mary would have persistently persuaded Gal to go to school. But now, he has told his sad history, which is the direct reason why he is so dull.
Weiz also smiled at this time, "I'll just say it, going to school is not what he wants, it's mainly us." ”
Knowing about Gal's plight, Mary, as a mother, decides to support Gal's idea. She decided to give Gal a home instead of letting him continue to suffer the cold eyes of his classmates at school.
