Have you been beaten by your parents?

Life was hard at that time, more than 40 years ago. Most people have several children. The clothes are worn by the boss and mended by the third.

One year, my mother bought me a new pair of sandals. I happily put them on my feet and then secretly followed my friends to mow the grass.

It was particularly hot that summer. When we came to a pump, we saw sparkling water pumped from the river and then flowed into the underground passage through a big sink.

Everyone took off their shoes and jumped into the pool to play with water. After a while, several friends were soaked to the skin.

The cool feeling is really good, I can't help thinking about it, but the underground of the sink is uneven concrete floor, and stones are exposed in many places, which will hurt when I step on my feet.

Because I was afraid of pain, I wore sandals and went straight into the sink. Unexpectedly, the water was too big, and my sandals were washed away at once.

Two sandals are spinning in the sink, and everyone is fighting for shoes in too many cooks, but after all, it is not as fast as water. I saw one shoe spin directly into the passage and disappear in the blink of an eye, while the other shoe was caught by a little boy.

I burst into tears at once. what can I do? I'm sure I'll be beaten. What should I tell my mother when I get home? After dawdling for a long time, I finally had to hang my head and go home.

When I got home, I hid a sandal in the corner and pretended to do my homework, eat and sleep.

Two days later, my mother asked me why I didn't wear new sandals. I pretended to look everywhere at home and finally told my mother that I couldn't find them.

Mom couldn't find it when she heard it. She was busy looking for it. Finally, she found a shoe, and no matter how hard she looked, she would never find it.

I looked at my mother and my heart was shaking. What should I do?

My fear finally caught my mother's attention. She decided that I was lying and asked me loudly where my shoes were.

I insisted that I didn't know. I didn't expect to never hit my mother, but later beat me up. After all, I have not survived the pain of flesh and blood, so I have to confess.

I will never forget it. I think if I hadn't lied, I would have been beaten. After all, a pair of new sandals still cost several dollars at that time, and life was really hard at that time.
