Sulking

Therefore, the family cannot spend these two days just because Xiao Hei is at home. He can eat whatever is eaten at home. What's more, the three girls will come back tomorrow. The mother-in-law told Meier two days ago that she must go back to her parents' house for dinner.

When the time comes, Mei'er will take Xiao Hei with her, and there will naturally be big fish and meat to eat, so the family will eat and drink carefully these two days.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the aroma of meat. What's going on?

With such doubts, Wang Shuanzi entered the kitchen.

However, in the dim kitchen, the busy person was not Yang Huamei, but Wang Hongquan!

He was standing by the pot, holding a chopstick in his hand and poking at the big pig's trotters in the pot.

The big red pig's trotters were soaked in the boiling soup, grunting happily.

The aroma hits your face.

The golden beans swelled and softened in the soup, making them very appetizing at first glance.

"Dad, why are you busy here? Where is Mei'er?" Wang Shuanzi asked in surprise.

Wang Hongquan did not give Wang Shuanzi a good face. He poked the pig's trotters to test the softness and said in a cold voice: "Humph, I am sulking in the house. I am in my early thirties and I am angry with my own baby. What's the matter...

"

Wang Shuanzi frowned, and without asking any further questions, he turned around and left the kitchen and went straight to Yang Huamei's house.

The door to the house was ajar, but opened with a push.

It was getting dark outside and there were no lights in the room. Yang Huamei was lying on her side on the bed with her eyes open and said nothing.

"What did Xiao Hei do to make you angry again?" Wang Shuanzi asked standing by the bed.

Yang Huamei snorted and said angrily: "What, didn't your father tell you? Just listen to what he said, why bother asking me again?"

As soon as Wang Shuanzi heard this, he knew that Yang Huamei was not only angry with Xiao Hei, but also with the old man.

"I didn't ask Dad for details. I only listened to you. I believe whatever you say."

Wang Shuanzi sat down by the bed and held Yang Huamei's hand.

But Yang Huamei slapped her hand away and snorted, "I'm so angry that I don't want to say anything right now."

She turned around and faced the bed, leaving her back to Wang Shuanzi.

Wang Shuanzi was not annoyed, he stood up, folded the inside of the bed, pulled out a corner of the long quilt, and placed it on Yang Huamei's body.

"Your hands are not very warm, so cover your chest." He said.

Yang Huamei bit her lip.

Then I heard Wang Shuanzi say from behind: "If you don't want to say it right now, then don't say it. When you want to say it, you can tell me again. I'll be happy to listen."

He stood by the bed for a moment, without waiting for Yang Huamei's reaction.

"Then you go to sleep for a while, and I'll go to Xiao Hei's room to see how his handwriting is..."

Just as he turned around, Yang Huamei behind him suddenly moved.

She suddenly reached out from behind and hugged his waist, pressing her face against his back.

The voice was very soft, very small, and a little choked.

"Shuanzi, don't leave, stay and talk to me."

Wang Shuanzi smiled slightly, turned around and supported Yang Huamei, "Okay, I won't leave, so don't cry."

He sat down again, and Yang Huamei pulled off the quilt and leaned into his arms.

"Shuanzi, I feel so uncomfortable. This kid Xiaohei...disappoints me so much."

Wang Shuanzi hugged Yang Huamei and gently stroked her back with one hand.

That's what he guessed.

"What's wrong with Xiao Hei? Tell me."

Yang Huamei raised her head and looked at him with an aggrieved look, from Xiao Hei clamoring to eat a big pig's trotters to being lazy in the back and not writing and running out to eat sweet potatoes, and then to Wang Hongquan's unprincipled pampering...

"Shuanzi, Dabai has been destroyed. I don't think I can count on Xiaohei."

"Why is our life so miserable? We gave birth to two sons and failed to raise either one!"

Wang Shuanzi could only smile bitterly at this.

It didn't take a day to freeze three feet of ice, and it didn't take a day to grow two children into crooked melons and cracked dates.

If I was used to it, if I didn't correct my bad habits, and if I continued to have a bad temper, I should be proud that this is the way a boy should behave, then how fierce my tears would be now.

"Mei'er, raising a child to be useless is also a trap for us!"

Yang Huamei was stunned for a moment, thinking of all the messes the couple had cleaned up for Da Bai and Xiao Hei over the years, weren't they just to trick their parents!

In order to raise money for Dabai to open a shop, she went to her parents' house with this face and endured the ridicule from her fourth sister-in-law. She lost all dignity.

"Let's not talk about Dabai for now. I won't have time to talk about it this year." Yang Huamei wiped her tears.

"Shuanzi, let's talk about Xiao Hei. He has been studying for seven or eight years and can't even pass the entrance examination. He doesn't study well in school. His grades are at the tail end of the class. He has no pocket money and living expenses.

It was all spent in a short while. When I came back from vacation, I didn’t read or write. He disliked the food we ate and clamored for big pig’s trotters. I had no choice but to go to Sister Sun to get credit..."

"Why do you want credit? I can still squeeze out the money to buy big pig's trotters at home!" Wang Shuanzi asked puzzledly.

Yang Huamei sighed, "I can't squeeze it out. Xiaohei had a stomachache at noon, so I went to Uncle Fu to buy some medicine and spent a little money. If I squeeze it out again, we won't be able to pay back the money to my natal brothers within this year!"

Wang Shuanzi fell silent.

Yang Huamei then scolded Xiao Hei, "This child is so depressing. We save the money we usually save on living frugally and send it to the town, just because we are afraid that he will suffer if he is short of money outside."

"We really try our best to give him the best things at home, and we also think that his conditions are better than those in the village."

"But now I heard him talking to your father. They were all complaining that we were incompetent, our family was poor, and the lack of money we gave him made it difficult for him to hold his head high in front of his classmates."

"Shuanzi, you think this child is so old, why can't a fifteen or sixteen-year-old understand the difficulties of his parents? Why don't he know how to be grateful at all?"

Yang Huamei vomited quickly and buried her head with her sleeves to wipe her tears.

Wang Shuanzi also frowned, and after a long time he sighed: "White-eyed wolf, white-eyed wolf!"

"I will have a good talk with him later during dinner and ask him about his plans."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Shuanzi spoke again.

"If it doesn't work out, I'll stop studying within the year and come back to help his father with the farm work. We can save a lot of expenses and add a labor force to the family. What do you think?"

Yang Huamei nodded vigorously: "I think he can do it and study well... He is not that material. I didn't believe it before, but now, I have completely seen through it."

Poor parents in the world, even though the couple planned to have a frank talk with Xiao Hei and persuade him to drop out of school.

The couple is still afraid that it will hurt the child's self-esteem and make him lose confidence in other things besides studying, which would be bad.

Therefore, the couple even seriously discussed and carefully considered the words to be used for the meeting in the room, trying to make their words tactful and not sharp, but at the same time let Xiao Hei understand their intentions.

This is really difficult!



"That's weird. Isn't our dad cooking dinner? Why haven't you come over to call us for dinner?"
