Chapter 156 Brother, You Are a Stony Thing
Zhou Tingyue obviously didn't expect this. He pulled the belt hard, and with a loud bang, the long belt was pulled out.
Zhou Wei and Zhou Xinxin quickly covered their faces.
Zhou Lin knelt down in front of Zhou Tingyue with a "thump".
She cried, "Dad, you really hit me, please be gentle, I have to go to school tomorrow!"
Who knew that Zhou Tingyue's next action would make his crying stop abruptly.
He handed the belt in his hand to Song Shiwei and started to take off his shirt.
"These clothes are too wet, they need to be dried!"
Having said that, he turned around and went into the house, leaving Zhou Lin and Zhou Cheng dumbfounded.
Song Shiwei smiled helplessly and said, "When did your dad say he would beat you? Hurry up and get up!"
When Zhou Lin heard this, he quickly got up.
He looked at Zhou Cheng in disbelief: "Brother, Dad, Dad, you really don't want to fight anymore?"
Zhou Cheng naturally had no idea what was going on. The main reason was that he felt guilty and had secretly forged the application form behind his and Song Shiwei's backs. If this had happened in the past, he would have definitely been given a beating by Zhou Tingyue.
But this time, he didn't fight! Are you waiting until you change your clothes before fighting?
Song Shiwei hung the belt on the wall behind the door.
Push the two to sit at the table.
"Eat first, and talk about it after you finish eating. The food will get cold soon!"
But the children still didn't dare to pick up their chopsticks. They waited until Zhou Tingyue changed his clothes and came out, picked up the steamed bun and took a bite. Only then did the children start to eat with relief.
Of course, they all tasted a bit tasteless.
Although Song Shiwei's cooking is delicious, he still has something on his mind!
Song Shiwei glanced at Zhou Tingyue's stern face and felt like laughing.
He did it on purpose. Although he didn't punish the two children, he just didn't want them to have an easy life.
It also allows them to think carefully and think about whether they dare to do the same next time!
Song Shiwei had a good appetite. He ate a whole steamed bun and drank a bowl of porridge. He put down his chopsticks only when his stomach was full.
After Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin had cleared the table and washed the dishes, and were about to go to the bedroom to sleep, Zhou Tingyue called out, "Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin, come here!"
When Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin heard this, they immediately became nervous and even walked with their hands and feet twitching.
Song Shiwei asked Zhou Wei and Xinxin to go to bed first, and then found a stool to sit on.
Zhou Tingyue looked the two children up and down and sighed softly.
"Go ahead, don't be nervous. You two are grown up now and have your own ideas. Daddy doesn't want to hit you anymore because I think you are all grown up kids now and you should know what you want and what you should and shouldn't do!"
Hearing him say this, Zhou Cheng's eyes became noticeably redder.
He shouted with a choked voice: "Dad..."
Zhou Lin didn't expect him to have this attitude. The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt.
"Dad...I'm sorry..."
Song Shiwei felt bad when he saw the two children in such a state.
"Zhou Cheng, can you tell us what you really think? If you really don't want to study, we won't force you. If you want to learn something, we will fully support you! But you must not keep silent, you can talk to your parents!"
"After all, you are still young and don't understand this society very well. We can also help you analyze it. If it is really feasible, then do it! After all, there are more ways to survive in society than just going to college. All roads lead to Rome. You can always find a way that belongs to you!"
Zhou Tingyue also nodded in agreement: "That's right, I'm not angry this time, but I'm angry that you don't want to go to school, but I'm angry that you took the initiative and even asked your brother to forge the application for you. If you really don't want to go, you can just tell me and mom, and I can sign the application for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Cheng's tears falling "click!" "click!"
Zhou Lin also wiped his tears.
"Brother, did you hear me? I told you that our parents are not unreasonable people. It's not good for us to hide it like this! Just tell us what's wrong! If you really don't want to go to school, our parents will definitely understand you!"
Zhou Cheng wiped the tears from his face and nodded.
"Okay! I get it, Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I won't do it again!"
As he spoke, he took out a small brown paper package from his pocket, opened it carefully and handed it to Song Shiwei and Zhou Tingyue.
"Mom and Dad, this is the money I've earned sporadically during this period. It's not much, just over 30 yuan..."
Song Shiwei looked at the scattered coins, there were fifty cents, one yuan, ten cents, two cents, and even one or two cents, all of them were change!
It can be seen that he saved money for a long time to save so much.
Seeing this pile of small-denomination, yet large quantities of change, Song Shi felt mixed emotions.
"Zhou Cheng, can you tell mom what you want to do? When you stop going to school, what do you want to do or learn? Is there anything you are interested in?"
There was no way she would just watch him do odd jobs. Her career was about to start. If Zhou Cheng really didn't want to go to school, letting him follow her to gain some experience would be a good choice. If he liked it, that would be the best. If not, she could help him think of other ways.
At least I wouldn't do odd jobs for others, or even have to work on a sewing machine to earn a few cents!
Zhou Tingyue was also somewhat moved. This kid was a very ambitious person. He didn't expect that during this semester when he didn't have classes, he would go to do odd jobs and earn a few dozen yuan. It was not even as much as his half-month salary, but he felt it was particularly precious.
"Zhou Cheng...you..."
As he spoke, he felt so distressed that he was speechless.
Song Shiwei patted his shoulder and looked at Zhou Cheng with encouragement, indicating that he should say whatever he thought.
Seeing that his elder brother didn't say anything, Zhou Lin on the side became a little anxious.
"Brother, you are such a taciturn person. You usually talk a lot, but why don't you say anything now? Our parents are not strangers, and they won't harm you. Just say whatever you think!"
Zhou Cheng glared at him, looked up at Zhou Tingyue and Song Shiwei, and swallowed hard.
Then he spoke: "Dad, Mom, I won't hide it anymore. I'm actually quite envious of Xiao Cui and Gou Sheng. They can sell clothes with you, mom, and get a very high salary every month. They even bought a tricycle. I, I've wanted to sell clothes with you for a long time, but I was afraid that you wouldn't agree and it would make you sad, so I never dared to mention it!"
