Mr. Wang's family only has two rooms and a kitchen. Before her mother and Mr. Wang got married, Mr. Wang lived in a room and used both residence and office; Self-contained living room, living and studying. Now that my mother and Mr. Wang are married, my mother and Mr. Wang live together, and I have nothing to say; But Zicheng didn't want to share a room with me. He repeatedly excused himself and said: "I am a man, she is a woman, we live together, my classmates will laugh at me and make fun of me, it's very ugly!" I can't take her to my room. Teacher Wang persuaded him: "You are the elder brother, Xiuyun is the younger sister, although you live in the same room, but each sleeps in his own bed and does his own homework, no one affects anyone, what's not to do?" Is there any family in the village that doesn't have this kind of situation and doesn't live like this? Zicheng emphasized: "Our elder brother and sister cannot be compared with the people in the village, because we are not related by blood; Therefore, if you live together, people will laugh at them, and there will be all kinds of suspicions, and the words you say will be ugly! You are not afraid, but I am so afraid that I must not let her live with me. Teacher Wang persuaded me again, and Zicheng pointed at me and said, "If you want her to live in, I have to move out, go back to school to live, and never come back again!" "Teacher Wang is afraid that his son will really run away from home, so it is difficult to persuade him. My mother had no choice but to make me a small bed in the kitchen and persuade me to reluctantly stay; When you do your homework, you use the dining table where you eat. The environment was messy and difficult, and I was naturally unhappy and complained. My mother persuaded me again and again to be patient; I pity my mother, and that's all I have to do.

Living in the kitchen, spring and autumn, the climate is warm, and there is nothing to say; In the cold winter, my mother added an extra quilt to me, and I could persevere; But in the summer, the kitchen was low and stuffy, and there were mosquito bites, and I was sweating profusely after less than ten minutes of studying. I had to scrub my body and face with cold water over and over again, and dip my head in a basin of water to cool down. Although it was cooler, the mosquitoes could not stop it, and despite my constant slapping, I was bitten by mosquitoes on my legs and arms for more than ten bags, and the itching was unbearable. I finally finished my homework and went to bed, but the bed was as hot as a kang and it was hard for me to sleep. I had no choice but to move the dining table to the courtyard and pick up another bench before going to sleep. The yard is much cooler, only there are more mosquitoes; There are also dark people around, and I can't help but be a little scared. I had to wrap myself tightly in a sheet and sleep with my eyes closed. But when I woke up in the morning, I found that my face was very itchy, and when I scratched it with my hand, I immediately swollen with many lumps. When my mother and Teacher Wang got up, I went to their room and looked in the mirror, and my face was red and swollen, and it was very ugly. I couldn't stop crying. The mother felt sorry for her daughter and couldn't help crying.

Teacher Wang blamed himself and said to me, "That's it: Zicheng usually doesn't live at home, but stays overnight on Saturday nights." When he's not at home, you stay in his room; When he comes back, you come to stay in my room with your mother. It's just a summer, and everyone will be on order, and it's good to wait for the summer. ”

I agreed. Mother agreed. The matter seems to be solved, but there are hidden dangers.

On Saturday evening, Zicheng returned home from the town's middle school. He opened his room, put down his bag, went to the kitchen to wash his face, and found that my bed was missing, he didn't pay much attention, poured a glass of boiling water, and went back to his room to do his homework—a good habit he had developed over the years of living with his father, everything was in order and according to the plan. But when he sat down at his desk, he found my book and pen on it. Looking at the bed again, the quilt and pillow are not where he originally put them. He immediately realized that when he wasn't home, I slept in his bed and did my homework on his desk. He was so angry that he wanted to have a seizure immediately and make the whole family uneasy. Maybe he felt that the reason was not sufficient: he was not at home, the room was empty, the weather was so hot, why couldn't Xiuyun borrow it? Maybe it's because I'm worried that my mom and dad are both at home and making a fuss, they must all be towards me, criticizing him, and it's himself who suffers. I couldn't vent my anger, so I threw my school bag, books, and pens out. I was afraid that he would beat me, so I didn't dare to make trouble with him, so I swallowed my anger and picked up the school bag, books, and pens on the ground and put them in the kitchen, feeling very sad.

But the matter has not been resolved, and Zicheng is still unwilling. The next day, after breakfast, my mother and Ms. Wang went shopping on the street - the school was in the countryside, and the teacher had to wait for Sunday to go shopping on the street. At home, only Zicheng and I were left doing homework in two separate rooms. When the opportunity for revenge came, he angrily pulled me to his room, pointed to the bed and desk, and said, "I'm not at home, are you sleeping on my bed and doing homework on my desk?" When I saw that he already knew, I said, "Yes." In the summer, it's too hot in the kitchen to live in. ”

"I don't care if I can live or not, that's not my business. I just take care of my own business, my own things. Did you know? Opening someone's room without permission and using someone's things is a robbery and immoral! "It has become a reasonable and unforgiving posture.

"I didn't open your room without permission, it was Dad who opened it. Dad said that the kitchen was too hot in the summer and asked me to stay temporarily for a while; When it's cold, go back to the kitchen to live. "I was afraid that he would beat me, so I put all the blame on Mr. Wang and tried my best to defend myself.

"Daddy, Daddy, what a call! Whose dad is he? Tell you, he's my dad, not your dad. Your dad is long dead!" I didn't open my room without permission, so I had to make another excuse.

"Now my mom and your dad are married, and your dad is my dad." I'm arguing with reason.

"Shame on you! Can you say this kind of thing? Do you know what the word dad really means? A father is a father, and only the father's biological children are qualified to call him a father because they are related by blood. You are not my father's biological child, and there is no blood relationship at all, what qualifications do you have to call him father? Even if your mother is married to my dad now, she can only be called stepdad at best, and she can't be called dad. Do you know? ”

I am a few years younger than Zicheng, a few years less experienced, and a few years less read, and I can't figure out whether these ethical relationships he says are right or wrong, so I can't argue with them. I just felt insulted, ugly, and wronged. I don't want to stay in this room for a moment, even though I used to find it comfortable and cozy. I immediately ran back to my mother's room crying.

He was still unsatisfied, feeling that I had not made it clear about the matter of my stay in his room, and had not achieved the purpose he needed, and was afraid that I would go to live again while he was not at home, so he immediately came over and pointed at me and said loudly: "I warn you: in the future, you are not allowed to set foot in my room again, whether I am at home or not, this room, the things here, belong to me, mine!" Without my consent, you are not allowed to sleep in my bed, and you are not allowed to use my desk. This is my rule, and neither intercession is possible! You remember it for me: if you go into my room again and take my things, don't blame me for being unkind to you! After Zicheng finished speaking, he waved his fist at me, and the meaning was very clear, if I went into his room again and used his things, he would beat me hard.

I saw that Zicheng was so ruthless and unrighteous to me, and had no family affection at all, and I was completely disheartened. What kind of brother is this? What family? I finally mustered up the courage to say, "Who rarely comes into your room, sleeps in your bed, or uses your desk?" Don't be crazy! My house is much bigger than yours, and the bed and desk are much bigger than yours! ”

Not only did not I feel shocked by my words, but he felt envious and ashamed, but he was right in the middle, and made him feel that he had a new reason to attack me, so he said, "Since your house is spacious, your bed is big, and your desk is big, why do you want to come to my house to live in my kitchen?" Sleep in my cot? Using my small desk? You followed your mother and came to my house willingly to find hardship and sin, isn't this cheap? You mother and daughter are a pair of sluts, sluts! ”

"You're a slut, a slut!" Zicheng not only slandered me, but also slandered my beloved mother! When I heard this, I was so angry that I couldn't bear it anymore, so I desperately began to fight back: "It's not that your father runs every night to tutor me and help my mother with her work, and repeatedly begs my mother to marry him, come and live with you, take care of you, and my mother and I still refuse to come!"

"Is that really the case? You've turned your words upside down! What I saw was that your mother came to my house again and again, begging my father to give you tutoring, saying that if you don't get good grades, you won't be able to do well in the future, and she will have nothing to rely on; begging my dad over and over again; My dad took pity on your mom, so he was willing to go over and give you homework and help your mom with her work. How could my dad beg your mom to marry him? My dad is a teacher, a hundred times stronger than your mom! It was your mother who took a fancy to my father as a public teacher, took state money, ate food supplied by the state, and my family's conditions were better than yours, so she was willing to marry my father. ”

"You talk nonsense! My mom is young and beautiful, a hundred times taller and stronger than your mom! "I will not allow myself to insult my mother. I remembered my sick mother I saw at school and sarcastically said, "Who hasn't seen your mother?" Thin and short, with a yellow sick face, how ugly and ugly it is, I don't want her to carry straw shoes to my mother. My mom married your dad, it's really bad for eight lifetimes! It's not that you're moved by your father, who rarely comes to your house! ”

My words seriously slandered Zicheng's mother and hurt Zicheng's feelings, he was very angry when he heard it, and said mercilessly: "It's not rare for my family, you can leave!" I'm not rare to you, and I am not rare to your mother! I'm glad you're gone. ”

"Let's go! It's not like I don't have a home. "I was irritated, sad, and completely discouraged, so I immediately packed my schoolbag and clothes, and then hugged them, crying all the way out of my own home, and went back to my own home.

At this moment, I feel that no matter how poor and broken my home is, it is lovely, because it is truly my own home; No matter how rich the family is, no matter how good the conditions are, it is self-contained, and it does not belong to me and my mother. But when I came to the door of my house, I stood still: the door was locked, and the lock was rusted; Looking through the crack in the door, the yard is overgrown with wild grass, vines, and thorns, and it is full of devastation, and you can't see the warm and lovely face of the past. I don't know what to do, and when I go back, I'm afraid I'll become a joke. I hugged my bag and clothes tightly, squatted on the ground and cried sadly, tears falling on the grass in front of the door.

When my mother and Ms. Wang came back from the street, they saw Zicheng doing homework in her room, but there was no sign of me. Mother asked Zicheng, "What about Xiuyun?" Why didn't she do her homework? Where did it go? Zicheng looked up at his mother and said disdainfully, "She's home." She said that our family is not good, not uncommon; Your house is spacious, the bed is big, the desk is big, and she went home to live. Teacher Wang felt that something was wrong, and blamed Zicheng and said: "You must have bullied your sister, otherwise, live well, why does she want to go home to live?" ”

Zicheng was a little scared when he saw his father looking at him with a serious face, because since his father and my mother got married, he had conflicts with me, and my father always criticized me and criticized him. He didn't dare to hide it anymore, and under his father's repeated questioning, he had to tell the truth: "When I came home, I saw that the quilt on the bed had moved, and the things on the desk had also moved; I asked her: When I am not at home, do you live in my room, sleep in my bed, and use my desk? It is immoral to criticize her for appropriating my things without my permission; She refused to admit her mistake, and said who is rare in your room, your things? said that her house was big and the table was good, so she left angrily. ”

Teacher Wang said: "If you don't understand the situation, you will criticize people indiscriminately; I asked Xiuyun to come in and live in your room. It's too hot in the kitchen in the summer, and you don't come back to live on Sunday, so instead of being idle, it's better to call Xiuyun to live, so that she can study more comfortably. When you come back, Xiuyun will come to my room to live, and it will not delay your accommodation and study, what's not to do? ”

Zicheng couldn't listen to his father's words, and still stubbornly said: "My room, without my permission, is not right for others to live in and take my things indiscriminately!" ”

Teacher Wang got angry and said, "Your room? Where did you get the room? That's my house, I paid to build it. I am in charge of my house, I can live in whoever I want, you can't control it! ”

"Well, you are in charge of your house, since you have given her a place to live, I will leave. I can't share a room with her anyway! ”

Zicheng said that he was about to leave after packing his schoolbag. His mother grabbed him and said, "Don't go, don't ask Xiuyun to live in your room in the future." Zicheng broke free from his mother's hand and said hatefully: "Don't pretend, pretend to be a good person, it's not all your fault!" After saying that, he picked up his schoolbag and left. Teacher Wang got angry and said, "If he wants to leave, you want him to go, I see how capable he is!" ”

Mother watched Zicheng leave, and she couldn't stop it if she wanted to. She turned back to Teacher Wang and said, "Lao Wang, go and pull Zicheng back." Where can the little ones go? Don't make any bad noise. You told him that you wouldn't let Xiuyun live in his room in the future. Teacher Wang refused to go, saying, "I will promise him and force him back, but I will indulge him." Where can he go? But go back to school and live. Just let him think about it. Tomorrow, I will take the time to visit him, tell him the truth, and persuade him to come back. Hurry up and get Xiuyun back, others saw her crying and squatting in front of the door, and she didn't know what was going on! ”

My mother was so worried about me that she hurried back to her house to find me.

My mother was very distressed when she saw me squatting in front of my house with my schoolbag and my clothes in front of my house and crying, my eyes red and swollen like fresh peaches in May. She thought about how difficult it was for her to pull me up in the midst of hardship, and now she was so wronged with herself, her heart was like a knife, and tears were like rain for a while. She pulled me up, hugged me tightly in her arms, and said, "Child, it's all because your mother is not good, so you have been wronged." He began to cry as he spoke.

I saw my mother, like a savior in a disaster, and I cried "wow". I snuggled up to my mother's arms and hugged her and said, "Mom, let's go back to our own home." No matter how good Mr. Wang's family is, it is a self-contained home, not our home. Teacher Wang can accept us, but he can't accept us. I wiped away a handful of tears and said, "I called him brother again, but he still didn't recognize me as a sister and scolded me for being a 'drag oil bottle'." No matter how good you are to him, he still only thinks about his mother and says bad things about you. He said that his mother was a teacher, a hundred times stronger than you; said that you married his father because of his good conditions. He's wronging you! Mom, I can't stand it anymore! I don't want to stay at his house for a minute! ”

When my mother heard me say this, her heart was completely broken. She let go of me and crouched on the ground alone and began to cry silently. When I saw my mother crying, I squatted down and cried loudly. My mother finally extinguished all the beautiful illusions of self-conjugation and this reorganized family, wiped away her tears, and said to me: "Mom is doing this for you, not for the good conditions of his family." If you have to go home, your mother will definitely bring you back. I'm just worried that without Mr. Wang's guidance, your academic performance will slip down again, and all the hard work and dedication of my mother will be in vain! ”

I understood my mother's good intentions and resolutely said to my mother: "Mom, don't worry, my current academic performance is very stable, which is not only the result of Mr. Wang's tutoring, but also the result of my hard work. Learning is your own business after all, and you have to rely on your own hard work. Now, I have learned to study on my own, and whenever I have time, I study every subject carefully, and if there is something I don't understand, no matter which teacher I ask, they will enthusiastically explain it to me. I promise you that my grades will be better in the future, and I will strive for the first place in every exam! ”

My mother looked at me and nodded earnestly. She believed me because she knew I was an honest and trustworthy child who never lied. At last, she said, "Since you have such a determination, my mother promised you to do as you say." You have to be prepared to endure hardships and hardships, and learn to be a strong and unyielding person. In the future, no matter how difficult it is in your studies and life, you must do everything possible to overcome it and overcome it, and you must be admitted to university! Mom is just hard and tired, and she is willing. I nodded resolutely, knelt down in front of my mother and promised, "Mom, don't worry, I will study hard, strive for the first place in every course, and be admitted to university in the future!" ”

My mother pulled me up and hugged me and kissed me again and again, then packed up the schoolbag and clothes on the ground and said, "Don't worry, Mom will do what she says." Let's go back, it was Mr. Wang who asked me to come to you, and he is waiting for us at home. In any case, Mr. Wang is kind to us, and we can't break his heart. Zicheng was angry and left, Mr. Wang must have been very sad in his heart, but he didn't stop him, obviously for you. We went back and comforted him. ”

I understood my mother's thoughts and said, "Mom, I listen to you. You open the door and let me in and see our home. If you haven't opened the door for such a long time, the things inside must be moldy, and open the window to breathe. Find a sickle and cut down the weeds in the yard, so that people don't look at our house as if there is no one. ”

The mother opened the outer door and the inner door, and the mother and daughter walked into the former home, looking at the familiar furniture, and recalling the past, they couldn't help but shed tears. The two of them worked together, opened the window, dusted off the floating dust on the tables, chairs and bed tents, and removed the weeds in the yard before reluctantly leaving and returning to Mr. Wang's house.

Another day later, my mother made some delicious food and brought it with her, and accompanied Teacher Wang to visit Zicheng at the middle school in the town. The mother brought the food to Zicheng to eat, and said, "My sister is small, she is not sensible, and she has made you angry, and I have criticized her; You are an older brother, forgive her. Zicheng listened and didn't speak. Teacher Wang said to his son: "Originally, there were two people in our family, but now there are four people, and the number of people has increased by half, so things are naturally more nervous." Everyone is a family, don't divide your and mine, things are shared by everyone, and everyone has the right to use them. You're already in middle school, don't you understand this? If you're assigned a job in the future, do you have to lock that house away from anyone else? Isn't that too much? This time, Zicheng didn't contradict his father, he just bowed his head and said nothing.

On Saturday afternoon, Zicheng still didn't go home. Teacher Wang was a little worried and didn't sleep well all night; The next morning, he rode his bicycle to the middle school and brought him home. After Zicheng came back, he just hid in his room and buried himself in his homework, ignoring no one. Teacher Wang persuaded him again, but he didn't speak.

On Monday, Zicheng went to school. The mother said to Teacher Wang, "Thank you for taking care of our mother and daughter these days, especially Xiuyun, with your patient guidance, her academic performance has improved a lot. But I can see that Zicheng is very aggrieved and difficult to accept us. We all got married for the happiness of our children, and now that our children have opinions and can't get happiness, let's live separately. ”

Teacher Wang said: "Children, I can't accept it for a while, it's still nostalgic for the old feelings, and after a long time, it's okay slowly." As long as the two of us truly love each other, and treat the two children with a bowl of water, without bias, the children will always understand and accept new people and new love. The mother said: "Zicheng is already in middle school, he has his own ideas, I am afraid it is difficult to change." Although Xiuyun can be obedient, she also feels very aggrieved. So, we're still going to be separated. Teacher Wang said: "It's really not good, in the summer vacation, wouldn't it be nice if I built another house for Xiuyun?" The mother said, "These days, I have looked carefully and thought carefully, and the fundamental problem is not in the house. It can be seen that Zicheng can't forget his mother, and Xiuyun can't forget her father. Despite our many persuasions, the child's ideological problems could not be solved. Although Teacher Wang was reluctant to separate, there was no better way to solve the child's ideological problems and convince the mother.

On Sunday, Zicheng came home from school, and her mother cooked a sumptuous farm meal for their father and son. On Monday, my mother packed her and my clothes, made lunch for Ms. Wang, and quietly went back to her home.

After my mother and I went home, Mr. Wang came to visit me several times, and persuaded my mother to go back while giving me make-up lessons. The mother never agreed. After another year, Mr. Wang was transferred to another village elementary school as the principal, and gradually cut off contact with his mother.
