Huo Ruifeng didn't even know Teacher Hua from inside.
He Tiantian was at a parent-teacher meeting when she saw Huo Yingjie arrive. Curious, she asked softly, "Why are you here?"
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
He Tiantian stopped asking, since the parent-teacher meeting was still in progress and they shouldn't be whispering among themselves.
After the parent-teacher meeting, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie took their child to pick up Huo Ruifeng.
Huo Ruifeng, carrying a small schoolbag, lowered his head and kicked at the pebbles on the ground.
The little girl's face lit up when she saw her parents arrive.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here." Huo Ruifeng waved his little hand, took his parents' hands, and left the school together.
Once in the car, Huo Ruifeng was overjoyed to see his older brother and sister. He felt uneasy, realizing that it was wrong to keep deceiving his parents, so he decided to tell them the truth, even if it meant getting a beating.
"Dad, Mom, I made a mistake," Huo Ruifeng whispered, looking cautiously at his parents.
He Tiantian was surprised. Although she was very curious, she still asked gently, "What mistake did you make?"
Huo Ruifeng shrank back and said, "I made two mistakes."
Hearing his son say this, Huo Yingjie felt relieved and asked softly, "It's good that you're willing to admit your mistakes. Tell me, what mistake did you make, and have you corrected it?"
Seeing that his father praised him and didn't scold him, Huo Ruifeng boldly said, "First, I lied. Actually, we were supposed to have a parent-teacher meeting today, but I said we weren't. I lied to the teacher and said you were too busy to attend. Second, the reason I didn't want you to go to the parent-teacher meeting was because I was afraid the teacher would tell you that I was playing soccer at school and broke the classroom window."
Huo Ruifeng's voice grew softer and softer.
"That's all, is there anything else?" Huo Yingjie asked, to see if his son could be completely honest.
"Uh..." Huo Ruifeng was a straightforward man; since he had already said it all, he might as well say it all.
He Tiantian listened quietly from the side, not daring to interrupt.
"I shouldn't have made a bet with others, saying that I was really good at soccer and could hit the glass that Da Huang specified," Huo Ruifeng said. "That's a classroom, and the glass is public property. I was wrong."
"Yes." Huo Yingjie nodded. "Do you know you were wrong?"
"I know, I know I was wrong." Huo Ruifeng lowered his head and said softly, "I will never do such dangerous things again."
Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Okay, Mom and Dad believe you. You're a man, you have to keep your word, and you can't make this mistake again."
He Tiantian wanted to say something more, but Huo Yingjie gave her a look, preventing her from speaking.
He Tiantian could only stare helplessly. Okay, I won't say anything more.
Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin, who were behind them, were also somewhat surprised, but they wanted to laugh but dared not.
"Since you like football, your brother will come home and play with you," Huo Ruihua said with a smile. "Let Mom and Dad see how good the little third brother is."
"Really?" Huo Ruifeng's eyes were full of hope. He originally thought he would be beaten, but he didn't expect that his parents would not only not beat him, but his brother would also play football with him.
"Yes, that's right. It's good to admit your mistakes and not make the same mistake again. Little Sanzi, you're a real man, and so is your older brother," Huo Yingjie said. "Dad, here's a soccer ball as a reward for you."
I hadn't bought a soccer ball before because I thought my child was too young and I was worried he might fall and hurt himself.
"Dad, you're so good to me," Huo Ruifeng said, somewhat excited.
"Cough cough..." He Tiantian coughed twice to make her presence known.
"Hehe, Mom is good too," Huo Ruifeng quickly added.
He Tiantian then asked, "Little Sanzi, do you like playing football?"
“I love it, I really love it. Dahuang has a soccer ball, and we all want to play with him,” Huo Ruifeng said quickly. “My birthday is coming up soon, can I have a soccer ball as a birthday present? A real leather ball, not one of those toy soccer balls.”
He Tiantian was a little surprised and asked, "Don't your feet hurt when you play soccer?"
"It doesn't hurt, I have shoes on!" Huo Ruifeng said. "Mom, is it okay?"
He Tiantian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a soccer ball."
Huo Yingjie didn't object either. Huo Ruifeng had loved sports since he was a child, practicing martial arts, running and jumping, and was more lively than his older brothers and sisters.
"That's great, that's great," Huo Ruifeng said. He was indeed honest and admitted his mistakes, which brought him great benefits.
After returning home, Huo Ruifeng ran to his room, took out a toy soccer ball, and played soccer with his brother in the yard.
He Tiantian asked in a low voice, "You didn't go to the parent-teacher conference, does that mean you know about this?"
Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Yes, I overheard Xiao Sanzi lying to the teacher outside. Later, the teacher exposed his lie, but that teacher Hua was very good at educating people. She said that as long as Xiao Sanzi knew his mistake and corrected it, she would keep it a secret and not tell his parents. Since the teacher agreed, I didn't go over there."
He Tiantian suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "Instead of parents lecturing us, the teacher's guidance is very important, but at the same time, it is most important to make children truly realize their mistakes."
"Yes, I didn't expect Xiao Sanzi to admit his mistake so quickly," Huo Yingjie said. "As a reward, let's buy him a soccer ball."
"Are you sure you won't get hurt?" He Tiantian was still a little worried, after all, the child was too young.
"Look!" Huo Yingjie pointed to his eldest son outside. His younger son was practicing ball, and his eldest daughter was helping to pick up the ball.
Because of Huo Xiaosan's situation, his older siblings are playing with their younger brother.
He Tiantian saw Huo Ruihua draw several circles on the wall with chalk, and then Huo Xiaosan, carrying a toy soccer ball, would hit the circle every time, sometimes even the circle that Huo Ruihua specified.
"My goodness, it hits exactly where you point it!" He Tiantian exclaimed in surprise. "And it seems to be left-handed as well."
As soon as He Tiantian finished speaking, Huo Xiaosan kicked with his right foot and hit the target.
"Wow, I never knew my little Sanzi had such a talent for soccer!" He Tiantian said. "Should we hire a professional coach for him?"
Hearing He Tiantian's words, Huo Yingjie was both amused and exasperated, saying, "The child is still young, so let him do what he likes. We'll talk about it when he's older. Maybe he won't like football anymore after a while."
"Yeah, that makes sense. After all, playing football is too tiring." He Tiantian nodded. "Let's talk about it later. I'll go buy him a football as a birthday present."
“Let’s go pick them out together this weekend,” Huo Yingjie said. “By the way, we should also pay more attention to shoes, to protect our feet.”
"Yes, that's right." He Tiantian nodded. "I will consult with some football coaches through the head coach to ask about some common sense or precautions, so that I will be well-informed."
Huo Yingjie wholeheartedly agreed.
The couple put a lot of effort into raising their child.
