Zhou Xiang nodded, "Okay, since we're talking about changes, we need to take action. First, hand over all your money. From now on, your monthly allowance is not allowed to exceed two yuan.
Second, break off relations with the classmates who follow you around and flatter you.
Third, write an 800-word self-criticism and submit it tomorrow morning. This will be the first day of the new year, your most unforgettable first day of the Lunar New Year.
Jiankang nodded in agreement.
Kang Kang wiped away his tears and asked, "Auntie, how did you know there was a classmate like that behind us?"
"It's human nature. There are always some people like this who, for the sake of good food and fun, take shortcuts to curry favor with the rich. Also, your temperaments have changed. Your pride and arrogance are the result of hearing so much flattery that you don't even know who you are anymore. You've heard so much flattery and falsehood that you've become so big-name.
You have no ability at all. To put it bluntly, what you get is just the reward given to you by us. You use our reward to treat others to food, drinks and entertainment, and then you are brainwashed by others and think you are so great!
Beggars on the street also get rewards from others, and they rely on asking for money. Just like your behavior at noon today, don’t you think you are begging on the street? What’s more, there are ten other uncles here. Isn’t it shameful?
Jian Jiankang blushed, "We were wrong. My aunt said, 'A gentleman despises food given out of pity.' We were so carried away that we forgot everything. We thought the New Year's money was what we deserved, and we had the right to ask for it from Grandpa."
"Okay, let's go home!"
"Um!"
"Um!"
The two children nodded vigorously, their spirits were not dampened, but they had a different new look.
For the first time, Lu Zhaochong sincerely admired his sister-in-law. She was even better than the ideological instructor in the team!
When they got home, the two children ran to Jiang Weihua, who was learning to roll out dumpling wrappers, and bowed to apologize, "I'm sorry! Uncle, we were wrong."
Jiang Weihua listened to this loud and sincere apology and smiled, "Okay, uncle and grandfather forgive you."
"Thank you, uncle."
"Thank you, uncle."
The two turned to their father and said, "Dad, we're sorry. We shouldn't have tampered with our uncle's intentions and even made disrespectful remarks about you. Please forgive us."
Zhu Hang sighed lightly, "This won't happen again."
"yes."
"yes."
The two children went upstairs again and took down all their money and handed it to their father. "Dad, we are still young and can't resist the temptation. Please save this money for us first. When we are older, we can manage it ourselves."
Zhu Hang put down the dumplings in his hand, wiped his hands, and took the money. "How much did you spend?"
"Three, three hundred."
Zhu Hang paused, "Three hundred per person?"
Jian Kangkang nodded.
Zhu Hang raised his hand and was about to hit someone, but Jiankangkang closed his eyes and stopped calling for his grandparents to help. They deserved to be beaten.
Seeing his two sons ready to die, Zhu Hang put down his hands and asked, "How did your aunt punish you?"
"No more than two yuan of pocket money per month, cut off contact with flattering classmates, and write a self-criticism."
Zhu Hang nodded, "Okay! Go ahead and write it! We'll keep this account in mind first. If you squander like this again, we'll settle it together."
“Thank you, Dad!”
“Thank you, Dad!”
Zhou's father and mother also sighed, "Alas! Only their aunt's words are effective. Okay, pay more attention in the future. You can't tease him like you did when he was a child. It's time to teach him a lesson."
"Yeah! I should be stricter next time, especially with Kang Kang, he's so cunning."
Everyone continued making dumplings while the two children went upstairs to write self-criticisms.
Kang Kang, "Brother, what is the secret that Auntie told me that no one else can know?"
Jianjian, "Since it's a secret, how can I know? Our family has a lot of secrets, and these secrets were all brought out by my aunt, so you can't say anything outside. You can't tell anyone about anything in the family."
Kang Kang, "Didn't I tell you? You didn't know, did you? They're always asking about our aunt's affairs behind her back. Aren't they just trying to copy her success? My aunt also said it can't be copied. My uncle-in-law must know it. If he can't copy it, who else can?"
Jianjian, "Yeah! So, don't try to learn from your aunt and go out to earn money at such a young age. Just now, your aunt also said that it was ten years ago. It was a warning to us. If you dare to mess around, your aunt can send you to the Pang family."
Kang Kang waved his hands repeatedly, "I dare not. When I heard what my aunt said just now, I had a lot of ideas, but when my aunt guessed the flatterers behind us, I didn't dare anymore.
My aunt is so scary. I guess she warned me that because she saw my excitement and impulsiveness.
Jianjian, "It's good that you know! From our grandparents to my uncle, everyone in our family listens to my aunt. Also, we really need to change and can't play with those people anymore. Although we still ranked first or second this time, our scores have dropped a bit.
If this continues, your grades will probably continue to drop, so just focus on your studies! We won’t play with them anymore, so aren’t we each other’s playmates?
Kang Kang, "Well! I won't play with them anymore, they are not good people."
Jianjian, "Okay, write your self-criticism quickly. Auntie said it should be profound, meaning you should sincerely recognize your mistakes. Fortunately, Auntie saw it, otherwise, we would have really changed. Money corrupts people's hearts!"
"My dad's life was really miserable. How could he sit steadily on a three-legged stool?"
Kang Kang, "Sleeping on a bed made of wooden planks! Isn't it cold?"
Jianjian, "The room where my aunt sleeps is still flooded! It's even colder."
…
When Zhu Hang saw his sister-in-law coming back, he quickly thanked her, "Thank you! I was negligent in noticing the changes that have taken place in Jiankang over the past year."
"It's okay! As children grow up, there will always be problems of one kind or another. If they can be corrected, it's fine. If they can't, I'll use violence again."
Zhu Hang nodded. "Yeah! Just now, I really couldn't bring myself to do it. The two kids spent three hundred yuan each. It's so infuriating."
"If you haven't hit them once, of course you won't be able to do it. Hitting people will become a habit. If you hit them once, you'll hit them twice, and if you hit them twice, you'll hit them three times. So, don't hit your children lightly. Don't you think they cost too much money?
I said the monthly allowance should not exceed two yuan, not everyone. You can punish them."
Zhu Hang immediately smiled and said, "Yes! This time, I want to see how Kang Kang can continue to argue."
In the evening, firecrackers were hung on the outer wall of the gate and set off. After eating dumplings, Lu Jin and his friends also participated in setting off fireworks.
Jian Jiankang was thinking about writing a self-criticism, so he set off a few fireworks and ran back upstairs.
The two children's night watch this year was to write a self-criticism with their father watching over them. Actually, they wouldn't dare sleep without their father watching over them! They have to hand it in to their aunt tomorrow morning.
It was not until 12 o'clock, when we were about to set off firecrackers, that the two reviews were released.
