Chapter 543: One Punch to Open the Door, Preventing a Hundred Punches
“No one bullies me.”
Shi An shook his head and said truthfully:
"The teacher taught us singing, counting and writing big characters."
Lu Miao curved his lips and asked with a gentle smile:
"So how many times can our baby Shi An count now, huh?"
"I can count to a hundred, Auntie, and I can also calculate that eight and six make fourteen."
"Oh my, it's already so great. You have to keep working hard, okay?"
"Um!"
Shi An, taking care of his little face, nodded seriously.
Lu Miao kissed him on the side of his face and turned to look at Tang Mei:
"I'm usually busy and don't have time to look after the little ones. Auntie, please keep a closer eye on the children, especially Shi An."
"If you see any bumps or bruises on your body, tell them right away. Don't let other kids bully you. We adults won't know about it."
Tang Mei laughed and said, "Isn't it normal for children to push each other? Why is there such a big deal? It wasn't very serious."
Lu Miao disagreed:
"Don't think it's okay just because the child is young. Some children are very bad and they think adults won't care, so they pick on the weak and bully them."
"We don't bully others, but we can't let others bully us either."
Lu Miao touched Shi An's head and gave him a few more instructions on the topic:
“Use your power wisely and learn to protect yourself.”
"Don't be afraid of causing trouble. When you need to fight, fight back. If someone hits you, hit them back. If someone pushes you, push them back. If you can't win, run to the teacher."
"When an apology is needed, Auntie will apologize. When compensation is needed, we will pay it. We must not let people think we are easy to bully, or they will specifically pick on us and bully us in the future. Do you understand?"
Shi An was still young, and he shook his head blankly, not quite understanding what he said, but he still nodded seriously:
"I understand, Auntie."
"So good."
When Tang Mei heard this, she retorted:
"How can you teach your children like this? Wouldn't this just lead to a fight?"
"This is called self-defense, how can it be a fight? Is it right to just stand there and let others hit you?"
"You can't be so stubborn and just stand there and let yourself be beaten... Can't you hide, run, or tell the teacher at school?"
"Running will only make others think you're scared. Besides, if you run now, will you be able to run again next time?"
Lu Miao shook his head:
"One punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches from coming. When it's time to show your fists, show them and see whose fist is harder. If you know you can't win, they will naturally not come again."
Lu Miao nodded between his eyebrows and said:
"Listen to your aunt on this matter, don't listen to your grandma."
Shi An scratched the side of his head, looked at Tang Mei, then at Lu Miao, and finally pecked the little head and said seriously:
"I understand, Auntie~"
Lu Miao smiled and kissed him again, then turned back to Tang Mei and said:
"From now on, teach your children according to what I say. You can teach your children to endure hardships, but you absolutely cannot teach them to suffer losses or beatings. Teaching them to be too honest is not a good thing."
If you give in a step, you will give in step by step.
I was bullied at school as a child.
When you grow up and enter society, you will still be beaten.
Lu Miao advocates the rule of strength when educating his children.
This partially contradicts the elders' ideas of humility, courtesy, forgiving others when possible, etc.
Tang Mei is not very educated, but she is quite open-minded.
If Lu Miao could make sense, she would accept it.
Anyway, there is one sentence that is definitely good.
It’s not good to teach children to be too honest.
They are all carefully brought up precious children.
We love and protect you at home, so how can we bear to let others bully us outside the house?
It's better to have a stronger and more assertive temperament.
Like their little treasure,
Tang Mei nodded:
"Then I'll listen to you. Whatever you say, I'll do it."
Lu Miao hummed, let go of Shi An, and let Shi An eat well.
She turned her head and gently kicked Fu Jingyou with her toes:
"Why don't you speak?"
Fu Jingyou clapped his hands twice in agreement, "I'm listening to you. I think what you said is very good and very right. I support you very much."
Lu Miao rolled his eyes at him and said, "You damn devil!"
Fu Jingyou snorted and laughed.
He actually understood what Lu Miao wanted to express.
She doesn't advocate letting children bully others.
But if she had to choose, she would rather her own child bullied others and the parents went to the person's house to apologize.
I also don't want to go to someone's house to apologize to them if they bully my child.
Most people are selfish.
If he had to choose, Fu Jingyou's ideas would definitely be the same as his wife's.
But the prerequisite is that they will guide and educate their children well and will not lead them astray.
Fu Jingyou thought about it, patted Zhou Shian on the head, and said in a deep voice:
"No matter what happens outside, you must prioritize yourself before considering other things."
Xiao Shi'an nodded seriously, trying hard to remember what his uncle and aunt said.
…
Lu Miao's spirits had recovered well, so Fu Jingyou gradually stopped forcing her to go to the hospital.
After coaxing the three children to take a nap, Fu Jingyou tiptoed back to his room:
"Let my aunt look after the child. Let's go for a walk, okay?"
"Where are you going?"
"Yesterday I went to the department store and saw a new Peking Opera movie on the square. Do you want to see it?"
Lu Miao curled his lips, showing no interest:
"Forget it. What's so good about Peking Opera?"
"Then take the bucket and I'll take you somewhere else."
"Where are you going?"
Where can I go without carrying a bucket?
Fu Jingyou was afraid that she would not go if he told her directly, so he stood up from the edge of the kang and said in suspense:
"Get up and pack up first, you'll know when we get there."
After he said that, he pushed the door open and went into the yard.
Lu Miao got up lazily.
I just went out for a walk and didn't go to any formal occasions.
She didn't dress so neatly, just re-combed her low ponytail and was done with it.
Lu Miao went into the kitchen and picked up the smallest iron bucket.
Fu Jingyou rummaged around in the vegetable patch, then picked up a small bag, pushed his bicycle, and took her out.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a slight temperature difference between morning and evening, but it is still hot during the day.
Lu Miao was feeling very anxious and actually didn't want to go out.
But seeing that the child's father was in high spirits, and thinking that it had been a long time since they had gone out for a walk together, her heart softened, and she took his hand and sat on the back of the bicycle.
The bicycle makes a clanging sound.
Walk through the alleys.
Then we walked through the long avenue shaded by Sophora japonica trees.
It took more than half an hour to ride back and forth.
Lu Miao's butt was numb from all the shaking when he finally arrived at the destination.
A little further to the West Second Moat is the current suburban rural area.
Lu Miao got off the bicycle, stretched lazily, and looked around slowly.
The moat has been renovated on and off.
Many places are similar to the flood control slopes of later generations.
This section has not yet started construction.
Looking around, you can see that some sections of the shore are still paved with blue bricks that have an ancient feel.
Some places have collapsed and have broken free from the shackles of history, becoming just an ordinary dirt slope.
