Chapter 268 Educating Children
Yike heard that those kids were not from the team, so he asked, "Are they good kids? Do they fight? Do they bully their younger brothers and sisters?"
"The two in team three didn't have any, but the boy in team two did. He specifically bullied his sister and called her a money-loser just like her mother did."
"Yes, I also saw him snatching his sister's cow grass."
"Yes, I saw it too. His sister was cutting grass for the cows, and he was playing. When he was about to go home, he poured his sister's grass into his own backpack, causing his sister to be beaten for not cutting enough grass to fill the backpack."
The children talked a lot and revealed the secrets of the children from other teams. It was obvious that the child from Team 2 was not liked by other children and was a child who was corrupted by his mother.
"Then didn't you tell him that children who bully their younger siblings won't get anything to eat?"
"Yes, he didn't believe it, so he came."
The kids in Team Two's eyes rolled around, not daring to look at Yi Ke. They turned their heads away and said nothing.
Yike laughed in her heart. She didn't like such children either.
"Come on, line up, line up. Those who haven't fought or bullied their brothers and sisters today can line up, and those who haven't are not allowed to line up."
"No, none of us have any. I was helping my sister carry grass today."
"Me too, me too, I'm helping my sister wash her face."
"Wang Daya couldn't carry the grass, so I helped her carry it back."
"Yes, I saw Brother Huzi carrying it."
"Okay, you are doing a good deed, and good deeds deserve rewards. Here, a popsicle and a piece of fruit candy as a reward."
Yike distributed them one by one, and finally there were two left in the box. Yike thought to himself that it was lucky that there were enough.
The boy who called his sister a money-loser saw everyone licking popsicles and became so greedy that his saliva started to flow.
He stood in front of Yi Ke and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I won't scold my sister anymore. Can you give me one? Really, I promise I won't scold my sister anymore."
"Do you know why you can't eat if you scold your sister?" Yike looked at him and asked.
"No, I don't know." The little boy shook his head.
"Let me ask you, who gave birth to you?"
"My mother. My mother said that I was born from her belly."
"Who gave birth to your sister?"
"It's my mother too."
"Then did he also come out of your mother's belly like you?"
"yes."
"Then did they also come from your mother's belly?"
"No, they are not my brothers and sisters."
"Look, you and your sister both came out of your mother's belly, so you are very close, right? Others are not like that, right? But look at them, they are not born from the same mother, but they don't fight or curse at each other, and they even help each other. Your sister is also born to the same mother as you, so why are you still scolding her?"
"My mother said that my sister was the one who scolded me. My sister is a girl and a money-loser." The little boy muttered.
"Then isn't your mother also a woman? Isn't she also a money-loser?"
The little boy said nothing, but his eyes were fixed on the children licking popsicles.
A girl licking a popsicle looked at the boy and suddenly said loudly: "My mother said that I am her treasure, not a money-losing thing. Those who say that girls are money-losing things are bad people. We don't play with bad people. Brother Huzi, drive the bad guy away. We don't play with him."
Hu Zi didn't say anything, but looked at Yi Ke. As long as Yi Ke said to drive him away, he would immediately drive the boy out of the village.
"You don't say anything because you think your mother is not a money-loser, right?" Yike continued to ask.
"Well, my mother is not."
"That's right. Your mother is a woman. She's not a money-loser. How could your sister be? And your sister helps you do so much work. How can a money-loser work?"
"No, my sister is not a money-loser." The little boy lowered his head and looked at his toes and whispered.
"Okay, you can realize that your sister is not a money-loser, which means you are a child who knows he is wrong and can correct it. As long as you can correct it, you are a good child, and good children will be rewarded. Here, I'll reward you with a popsicle." The little boy raised his head quickly, looking at Yi Ke eagerly as he took out a popsicle from the box and handed it to him.
The little boy took the popsicle and bit off a piece of it in one bite.
"Eat slowly, this is not the way to eat. You finish it in one go. Look at how they eat?" Yi Ke hurriedly stopped him.
The little boy really learned to lick the food like those other kids and looked at them smilingly.
"You should say thank you to sister-in-law. If you don't, you're impolite and not a good child." Hu Zi stood in front of the boy and said.
The boy looked at Hu Zi timidly and said to Yi Ke, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"Good boy, don't scold your sister when you go home. Take care of her, okay? Otherwise I won't give you food next time." Yike said.
"Will there be a next time?" the little boy asked in surprise.
"Of course, sister-in-law Yike often gives us food, including sweet candies, delicious cakes, dried fruits, dried fish, and many other delicious foods." The girl who said her mother called her a little darling stood in front of the boy, raised her head and said proudly, and added at the end, "Only good children have food."
"Then, what does it mean to be a good child?" The little boy was attracted by the delicious food he had never seen before, and asked the girl in a flattering manner.
"Hmph, didn't you say that girls are money-losing goods? Why shouldn't I tell you?" The girl turned around proudly and went to stand next to Hu Zi to add some popsicles.
"Brother Huzi, can you tell me? I want to be a good child too."
"Sister-in-law Yike said that a good child doesn't fight, doesn't swear, doesn't bully his younger brothers and sisters, and also takes care of them. He should help his parents with things at home, such as sweeping the floor, boiling water, cooking, etc. As long as he can do it, he can do it. And when his parents come home from work, he must pour boiled water for them to drink, and when eating, he must pick up some vegetables for his parents and brothers and sisters. If he does these, he is a good child." Hu Zi said it in one breath, and the little boy's face turned pale. He did not meet these requirements at all.
Yi Ke saw the boy's depressed look and encouraged him, "Just don't fight, don't swear, and don't bully other kids. If you do these things, I'll give you candy next time. The rest can be done step by step. You can't do it all at once. Good children learn slowly. Just learn slowly."
"Really? As long as I don't fight or swear, I can eat?" The little boy became happy again.
"That's only for next time. I'll have to learn more the next time."
"Okay, I promise to learn slowly. But my mother doesn't want me to work at home, saying that it's my family who has to pay the bills. No, it's my younger sister and older sister who should do it."
"You can tell your mother that if she beats or scolds your sisters again, you can say that you will not provide for her in her old age, or you will not eat and eat whatever your sisters and sisters eat. Then your mother will not dare to beat or scold your sisters." I never expected to hear a woman like Yang Huaihua in this village.
"Okay, then if I'm hungry, can I come to you for food?"
"Once or twice is fine, but more than that is not okay. I am not your parents, so I cannot support you. You can bring your sister or elder sister with you, and I will give them candy as well. I will also reward you with one."
The children were all going home, and the little boy walked away reluctantly, looking back every few steps. It was really funny to see him. This child is willing to listen to advice, so it seems he can still be saved.
"Huzi, do you have any familiar kids on that team?"
"Yes, does sister-in-law want me to keep an eye on that kid?"
"Haha, you're so smart!" Yi Ke praised, "Just observe and see if he really changes. Otherwise, I don't know, I'll give him candy next time, right?"
"Okay, don't worry, sister-in-law Yike, I promise to complete the task."
"Here, these three candies, give one to your friend first, and then give him another one after he tells you the news. The other one is a reward for you, you are a good boy."
"Thank you, sister-in-law Yike." Huzi happily took the candy and left. Yike also went back to the house to find the carpenter with the mold for making popsicles...
