Chapter 290: Scold Me
Young children like to play with older children because older children have more ways to play.
But these two children are used to being domineering, and they are not willing to suffer losses when facing older brothers and sisters.
Dabao and Xiaobao did not complain. When Lin Xiangnan was helping them take a bath, even if he saw the wounds, he just asked casually and did not curse.
But since other parents had come to the door, Lin Xiangnan still argued with the two children.
"It's just a fight between kids, I won't say anything to you. But you have to be reasonable first! You have a legitimate reason to fight, you know? If you have the ability, just rely on your strength. You're not winning by biting, it's not fair, it's hard to convince people... I'll deduct your snacks for a week as punishment!"
"Woo~ Mom, I was wrong. I will change next time."
If they were to exchange their fighting experiences, the two brothers Gu Zhenhua would be unable to finish talking about them in a day and a night. They had been fighting with others since they were young, snatching food outside, stealing scraps to sell, and fighting with their family members when they got home.
They often fight one against many and win big with a small force. If they still want to win at this time, they will definitely use dirty tricks frequently, not to mention biting, they can use all kinds of dirty tricks.
Given their situation, they feel guilty when they are trying to teach their children the truth.
While Lin Xiangnan was talking, the two brothers Gu Zhenhua stood obediently on the side. After Lin Xiangnan finished speaking, Gu Zhenhua added: "Go and stand facing the wall for another hour. Think about where you went wrong."
"oh."
Facing Lin Xiangnan, Dabao and Xiaobao still dared to act like a spoiled child and beg for mercy, but as soon as Gu Zhenhua looked fierce, Dabao and Xiaobao immediately quieted down. They held hands and faced the wall, looking aggrieved.
The penalty was imposed, and Lin Xiangnan turned around and discussed with Gu Zhenhua in a low voice, "Were we too fierce just now? Don't let this cause psychological trauma to the child."
He was afraid that his child would grow up to be a bad child, but he was also afraid that if he was too strict with his child, he would become depressed and not sunny enough. Lin Xiangnan really couldn't find the right balance.
"We can't still be so frivolous at this time." Gu Zhenhua frowned and said, "It's time to teach them a lesson."
Seeing Lin Xiangnan and his wife looking worried because of the child, Gu Zhenjun whispered: "Don't worry too much, sister-in-law. We didn't grow up in such poor conditions when we were young. Dabao and Xiaobao have so many elders watching over them, so nothing will go wrong. Who wasn't naughty when they were young? They are usually very well-behaved..."
"You are also useless. You only know how to spoil your child." Lin Xiangnan looked at Gu Zhenjun with disdain and said, "My mother has to do it."
Because of the Gu family's tradition of doting on the eldest son, Gu Zhenhua was able to teach Dabao a lesson ruthlessly.
But besides Dabao, there is also Xiaobao. The two do everything together, and they cannot be treated differently when punishing them.
With Xiaobao around, the severity of Gu Zhenhua's punishment was greatly reduced.
Lin Xiangnan’s main point is to dote on her. He would rather use words than violence, so Lin Xiangnan could only write letters to Hu Meili.
"Mom! We all miss you! Come quickly, this family can't live without you..."
When Hu Meili saw the letter asking for help, she was not angry at all, and even laughed out loud.
"I knew this day would come sooner or later. When my parents were called in, I realized how hard it was for me."
As a parent of three children, Hu Meili is particularly familiar with this situation.
It is impossible for children to play without quarreling or fighting. If her own child loses, she will go to other parents to ask for an explanation. If her own child wins, other parents will also come to her to ask for an explanation. When she is right, she will scold others. When she is wrong, she will just accept the nagging.
"I won't go to the family compound." Hu Meili said with a smile: "Whoever commits the retribution will bear it himself."
"Mom, you really aren't going?" Lin Xiangxi asked curiously, "Mom, don't you find it annoying to be at home?"
The treatment Hu Meili received on this street was the same as the treatment Lin Xiangnan received in the staff housing compound.
With three college graduates in her family, Hu Meili has a halo around her head. During the Chinese New Year, a lot of people came to ask her for study methods. During the summer vacation, the enthusiasm has not subsided, and more people asked her.
Hu Meili was indeed annoyed. But she still didn't want to leave.
"I have to keep an eye on your eldest brother at home. That Zhou Kangmei has been hanging around again recently, and I have to keep an eye on him."
The two families were about to get married, but because of the family planning policy, the marriage was called off. Zhou Kangmei was also forced to go on a blind date with others under the arrangement of her parents. Zhou Kangmei couldn't resist her parents and tried to get along with others, but finally found that it really didn't work. She still only liked Lin Xiangdong.
"She took the college entrance exam this year and specifically applied to your eldest brother's school. If she is admitted, your eldest brother will be entangled with Zhou Kangmei again."
Lin Xiangxi said indifferently: "After all the trouble we had, Big Brother will definitely not turn back."
"Your elder brother has such a good temper. Just coax him casually. You can't say for sure about this matter." Hu Meili grumbled dissatisfiedly.
The two of them played crickets in front of Lin Xiangdong and made him laugh.
"Mom, don't worry about it. I'm right. I know what's going on."
Hu Meili cursed back, "You have a fart."
Except for Hu Meili, the mother, who dared to blatantly interfere in Lin Xiangdong's love life, neither Lin Xiangnan nor Lin Xiangxi had the right to control Lin Xiangdong's personal love life.
If you think the person is good, you will help to match them up. If the person is not good, but Lin Xiangdong is willing, Lin Xiangnan and the others can't say anything, after all, it's not them who are getting married.
Lin Xiangdong compromised with Zhou Kangmei because she firmly chose him and he didn't want to disappoint her. The rich and beautiful girl fell in love with the poor boy, and there was absolutely no external influence on that relationship. But after Zhou Kangmei gave up on him once, Lin Xiangdong no longer had that kind of interest in her.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Kangmei asked him for study materials for the college entrance examination. Lin Xiangdong did not give them to her alone, but sent them to the office for everyone to read together. He did not give people a signal of reconciliation, but he also hoped that Zhou Kangmei could get good grades, so he could only help in this roundabout way.
Now that Zhou Kangmei had done well in the exam and was confident of being admitted to a school in Beijing, she immediately came back to her father, and no amount of scolding from her father would help.
Lin Xiangdong no longer works in the factory, so it is quite convenient for him to avoid people. He basically avoids any occasion where Zhou Kangmei is present, and his attitude of avoiding suspicion is very obvious.
"Mom, please believe me." Lin Xiangdong said firmly, "Nothing will happen between her and me."
"I believe you?" Hu Meili glanced at him and said, "Write a letter to Xiaonan and ask her if she believes that her two treasures don't do bad things."
"I gave birth to you and raised you, how could I not know what kind of people you are?" Hu Meili cursed, "You all look like dogs have eaten your brains, you'd better die of stupidity."
Lin Xiangdong's expression remained unchanged, "Mom, you're going too far."
"What? You want to curse back?"
"No. What I mean is that if you scold me, just scold me. You don't have to scold my younger brothers as well."
Hu Meili suddenly felt like she had punched cotton and missed.
