The next day, Fang Ruoruo happily searched for her backpack, only to find it on her second cousin's back. She stared blankly at it, her mother praising her, "Jiayuan looks so good wearing it." Turning around and seeing her daughter's look, she instantly understood. She squatted down and said gently to Fang Ruoruo, "Be good, Ruoruo. Your cousin's backpack is broken, and he really likes yours. Didn't Mom teach you to learn to enjoy it, right?"
Fang Ruoruo bit her lip, but when facing her mother, she nodded, silently picked up her old schoolbag again, and then watched her mother take out the stationery that her father bought for her yesterday and give it to her cousins. When it was her turn, only an eraser and a pen were left.
On the way to school, Fang Ruoruo was in a bad mood, especially when her two cousins were in front of her and laughed at her from time to time.
Since she was young, her mother taught her to learn to share and be humble, but she felt that sharing was not a good thing.
Fortunately, she saw her father on the way home from school in the afternoon.
Dad greeted her and saw that she was still carrying the old schoolbag. Fang Zhiyi looked unhappy.
But he didn't have any good solutions now. All he could do was to pick up his daughter from school every day. Walking on the road, listening to Fang Zhiyi telling her stories, Fang Ruoruo felt much better. She secretly looked at her father, afraid that he would suddenly ask her about the schoolbag. Fortunately, her father didn't seem to care.
She didn't want her father to quarrel with her aunt and others because of her schoolbag, as that would make her mother very sad.
"Do you understand the story of giving away the pear?" Fang Zhiyi asked when he was about to leave home.
Fang Ruoruo nodded: "I understand, but it's a little different from what the teacher said."
"Oh, just remember what Dad said."
Fang Ruoruo didn't quite understand. In the story, the younger brother gave the big pear to his older brother and ate the small pear himself. How did it end up in his father's mouth? It became that the younger brother took the big pear, and the older brother ate the small pear in a few bites. As a result, the mother saw it and immediately asked the younger brother to give the pear to his older brother, saying that the two brothers should share. In the end, the younger brother didn't eat anything because the pear was broken into two halves, the older brother took half, and the other half was given to the mother by the older brother. The mother repeatedly praised the older brother for being filial.
"This story tells us that as long as you are willing to suffer losses, you will suffer endless losses."
Fang Ruoruo seemed to understand: "But mom said that good children need to learn to enjoy life."
"Bullshit! Sharing is giving away what you have in excess or don't need. Giving away what you need is just bluffing."
"Oh." Fang Ruoruo thought of her backpack and felt a little depressed.
Fang Zhiyi quickly changed the subject: "Dad will come to pick you up in a couple of days and take you to the amusement park."
Fang Ruoruo's eyes lit up, and she didn't say a word even when her cousin tore up her homework book and made paper airplanes that night.
The next day on the way to school, Fang Ruoruo was still walking at the back, her mind full of the amusement park. Suddenly, she saw her two cousins who were playing and fighting in front of her being stopped by someone. She was a little scared.
"Stop! Money... no, hand in your homework!"
Xu Jiaqing was stunned, and Xu Jiayuan was also stunned. They had seen some hooligans snatching their school pocket money before, but this was the first time they had seen them snatching their homework.
The other person was wearing a mask and said impatiently, "Hurry up! Otherwise I'll beat you to death!"
The two of them took out their homework tremblingly, and then saw the gangster took it, tore it into pieces on the spot and scattered it everywhere.
