Oh baby, let's do it together

? It was late at night, but Li Lingyun couldn't sleep. She opened her eyes wide, looked at the ceiling, and sighed. Xu Dali couldn't sleep either. He tossed and turned, his eyes were empty and boundless. His wife's sighs hit his heart again and again. Xu Dali took a long breath and said to his wife beside him: "It's late, go to bed. Tomorrow, you have to get up early to cook for the children." Li Lingyun got up and said angrily: "You said, we What's the point of getting up early and getting up late? This naughty kid only got 20 points on the math test! Where did all the food go?" Xu Dali smiled bitterly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You want something to eat. Take your time."

The next day, their son Xu Xiaobao was glowing with food as usual. Lingyun was busy packing his schoolbag, and said hurriedly: "Bao Ah, don't eat, you're almost late. I told you to get up early, but you just didn't listen. Look, you still eat, okay, okay, hurry up..." Xiaobao nodded frequently and stuffed a large piece of beef into his mouth. , a pair of big black eyes darting around: I have to take the little toy I played with last night to school. Class is so boring. It would be nice to have that thing. While his mother returned to the kitchen, Xiaobao quickly stuffed a toy hidden under the pillow into his schoolbag.

? There was a loud whistle from downstairs, and Li Lingyun dragged Xiaobao and ran downstairs. "Hurry up, hurry up, you're going to be late again. Remember, listen carefully in class... You must pay attention in class. If you don't listen well in class... you won't be able to do your homework, you won't be able to do your homework..." Lingyun was panting and running while reading her daily scriptures. Xiaobao hugged his schoolbag tightly, thinking about his baby, humming in his mouth, and dealing with his mother.

When he was about to get off work, Xu Dali finally finished the work at hand. As soon as he sat down to drink tea, he was attracted by the discussion in the office.

? "Hey, did you know? Lao Zhang has a top-notch cat, which is said to be expensive."

? "Lao Zhang likes cats, it's so crazy. He's so frugal. Let's just say his old QQ car should have been replaced a long time ago. Who would drive that car now? That's a waste of money."

? "Thousands of gold? Too little. Do you know what kind of cat Lao Zhang bought?"

"What kind of cat? How much is it worth?"

? "Little Have you seen Ragdoll cats? There are tens of thousands of noble cats!”

? “Good boy, you are so willing to give up!”

? Everyone was tutting. Mouthing, Lao Zhang walked in with a bag in his hand. "Xiao Li, get me some hot water quickly." Xiao Li responded. Lao Zhang opened the bag gently, and the kitten's whine came from inside. Everyone came running together.

? "What's going on?"

? "Where did the cat come from?"

? "Is this a Ragdoll cat? Too..." Xiao Xie looked at the dirty, ugly and smelly cat in the bag, covering his nose and muttering.

? Lao Zhang didn't care to talk, took the hot water from Xiao Li, put his hand in, tested the temperature, and gently took the kitten out. The kitten was curled up, one leg dripping with blood. Lao Zhang slowly washed the wound on the kitten, found a clean handkerchief and bandaged the wound on the kitten, and then sat back on his chair.

? "On the way back from the company, I saw the little guy lying on the side of the road. One of his legs was bitten by something. He kept screaming pitifully. I picked it up."< /p>

? Xiao Yang looked at the dirty and ugly cat and said to Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, you are quite powerful. I heard that you just spent a huge sum of money to buy a ragdoll cat. That cat is nice, gentle, and playful, so why did you pick it up? After bandaging the wound, what do you plan to do with it?”

“It looks like it’s a stray cat. Feed it.” Just put the food on the roadside." People in the office were chirping with ideas.

? Xu Dali said nothing. He knew Lao Zhang and knew that Lao Zhang had a soft spot for cats. However, there was no telling what happened today. This was an injured stray cat after all, not to mention that he already had an expensive cat.

? Lao Zhang pondered for a while and then gently put the cat back into the bag. "I have to take this cat home. It's injured, and if no one cares about it, it will die."

"I don't know, what are you trying to do? There's no point in just feeding it." , an ugly stray cat!"

After get off work, Xu Dali saw Lao Zhang walking out silently with the kitten. He also walked out of the office. Lao Zhang put the kitten into his old QQ and drove away.

? Xu Dali also walked home. Along the way, Lao Zhang and the kitten kept lingering in his mind.

After entering the community, Xu Dali parked the car, but did not get out of the car in a hurry, because he saw his son squatting next to the doorman, Uncle Zhao. He silently took out a cigarette and lit it.

About half an hour later, Xu Dali saw Li Lingyun running out in a hurry. When she saw her son and the guard, she yelled and went to drag Xu Xiaobao away. Xiaobao refused to leave, and the two of them were tearing at each other. Xu Dali got out of the car and ran over quickly, "What's wrong?" Li Lingyun was furious when she saw Xu Dali. She was about to open her mouth when she saw Uncle Zhao again and said dullly: "It's not your baby. Son? Let's go home!" When Xiaobao saw his father coming back, he stopped pestering him and followed the adults home.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Lingyun's anger burst out: "Xu Xiaobao, little bastard, what good things did you do in school today?" Before Xiaobao could open his mouth, Li Lingyun shouted again: "You I said I was going downstairs to buy a pen, but I went there for half an hour! What are you talking about with that old guard all day long? Are you going to be a concierge when you grow up? Dali pulled Xiaobao to his side and said to his wife, "I'll have a chat with the kid." Lingyun glared at him, "What nonsense! Let's eat!"

? Waiting for the hot dumplings to be served, Xiaobao couldn't wait and stuffed one into his mouth. "Look, how many lives have you never eaten? You're not afraid of burning your mouth." Lingyun shouted. Xiaobao smiled and said: "Mom, it smells so good!" "If it smells good, eat more. When you are full, you can go and write a checkup!" Lingyun said angrily, "The head teacher, Mr. Du, called again, and you fell asleep again? Not all day long. Eat and sleep, why did I give birth to such a living baby like you?" Xiaobao's head drooped, and he didn't even finish the dumpling for a long time. Dali touched his wife with his arm and said, "It's time to eat. If you have anything to say, we'll talk after eating." After saying that, Dali took a dumpling for his son and said, "Bao'er, eat it quickly." Xiaobao wiped the tears on his cheeks and stood up to say something. Went to his room.

"Bao'er, Bao'er, eat first,..." Lingyun saw Xiaobao leaving in anger and regretted it. Dali looked at his wife, sighed, and said, "Say less." Lingyun opened her mouth and swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

The light in Xiaobao's study room turned on. Lingyun pushed the door and locked it inside. She shook her head and walked helplessly to sit next to Dali. She frowned and said, "What do you think we should do? My child's grades are so bad that he always falls asleep in class. I'm so anxious. The teacher calls me every now and then. I'm really worried." The teacher was worried when he saw the phone. Tell me, what can you do if you don't want me to teach him?" Dali was silent for a while and said, "We can't rush things. We have to take our time." ? Our neighbor’s daughter got into 985, and the old Zhang family’s son got into 211. We, my dear, have failed in everything except biology. It’s hard for us to get into a good high school. Where should we put our face?” He said with a blushing face.

? Xu Dali scratched his head, and after a long while, he said again: "Don't just do 985 and 211!"

? "Hey, what are you talking about for a long time? Don't say this. , how to motivate him? "He keeps sleeping in class!"

"Let's think about it, why does he keep sleeping in class?"

The couple pondered for a long time. Didn't find the answer either.

When he went out in the morning, the doorman Uncle Zhao saw Lingyun and said hello with a smile: "Lingyun, your little Baoling, the fertilizer he found for my flowers works. Look at my flowers." ..." Lingyun glanced at the old man sideways, turned around and walked away before he finished speaking. Lao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then entered the room sullenly.

? In a flash, half a year has passed. Lao Zhang's cat has become a topic of conversation in the office again.

That day, everyone had finished their work and was chatting and resting. Lao Zhang was hiding in his chair alone, looking at his cell phone, laughing silly. After a while, his laughter attracted everyone, "Lao Zhang, what are you looking at? Are you so fascinated?" Lao Zhang showed a video on his mobile phone to everyone, and saw a strong cat chasing around the house. Another beautiful cat was playing, running up and down, nimble and playful, and actually got the upper hand, chasing the beautiful cat in a panic.

? "Look, look, this is the cat I picked up!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, "What about that one? Is that just a Ragdoll cat? It's so beautiful, but it can't run away. Then... then, Lao Zhang, what do you call it? "Oh, this one is my little clever one. I call it Xiaopi. It's a lot of fun." Dali saw it and admired: "Yeah, who knew it was such a cat back then." Lao Zhang chuckled and stared at the screen, his eyes filled with love. Looking at the happy Lao Zhang, Dali was thoughtful.

When I got home, Lingyun’s crying made Dali’s heart clench. After asking, I found out that in the mid-term exam of the first grade of junior high school, the children were almost wiped out. Dali took the test paper and looked at it one by one. As he looked at it, he actually laughed. "Son, come here, daddy will analyze it for you." Xiaobao was hiding in the study, and when he heard his daddy's cheerful voice, he walked out slowly. "Baoer, look at it, I found that you have made a lot of progress in this test paper." "Huh? Progress?" Xiaobao stared at his father in confusion, and Lingyun also stopped crying. "Yes, look," Dali pointed at the Chinese test paper and said, "your handwriting is more beautiful than before. Moreover, the whole test paper is clean and looks so comfortable. The ancient poems were all written correctly silently. Amazing!" Lingyun squinted her eyes and turned away. Dali continued to point at the math paper, "Bao'er, you got all the fill-in-the-blank questions right, and the calculations, well, half of them were right, better than last time." "Politics, it was all filled up! You are really a genius, kid. ! The teacher said that you often sleep in class, but it's not easy to fill up the test paper!" Xiaobao stared at Dali, and the sincerity in his father's eyes made him look at his test paper again. Those crumpled test papers were dripping with mother's tears, but they were filled with father's smile.

? Lingyun listened and listened, turned her head and stared at Dali, asking: Is Dali stupid?

? On this day, for the first time, the lights in Xiaobao's study were on until eleven o'clock in the evening.

? Seeing his son sleeping, he vigorously ironed the child's test papers one by one. Lingyun stayed by her side silently, not knowing what her husband was going to do. Dali found a beautiful piece of wrapping paper and made a cover for the set of test papers, and then said to his wife: "Our child, from today on, we must love him wholeheartedly and love him unconditionally." Lingyun Blinking: Don’t I love you wholeheartedly? She looked at Dali and the neat and beautiful set of test papers, and seemed to understand something.

When summer vacation comes, Xiaobao has passed three subjects! However, Xiaobao still went home with his head hanging down.

? At the dinner table, Xiaobao had no appetite at all. Dali looked at the child and asked distressedly: "Bao'er, you should be happy to pass these three subjects. We only passed one subject before. This is a great harvest." "Yes, yes, you have made great progress." Mother Lingyun was also cheering on the side. "But, Teacher Ouyang is still unhappy. He said that I am the stupidest student he has ever taught!" Lingyun's face sank. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she winked vigorously, and she shut her mouth again. "Bao'er, you don't know that Teacher Ouyang is trying to provoke you. There is a kind of teacher who has a very special way of treating students. He will use cruel words to stab you in the heart, make you suffer, and make you alert. . You know? This is a great move, Mr. Ouyang, look at it, you don’t want to eat anymore, how can you catch up with the 30 points in math?” Xiaobao said unconvinced: "He clearly looks down on me, so what's the point of motivating him? He said it in front of the whole class." "Silly boy, if a teacher doesn't love his students and is extremely disappointed with his students, he will eventually The simple way is to give up on you and ignore you. Think about it, how many calls have Teacher Du and Teacher Ouyang made to us this semester?" Xiaobao raised his head and said, "Teachers, you have good intentions. child.

Lingyun nodded on the side, "Yes, Bao'er, every time Teacher Du calls me, I feel embarrassed for at least ten minutes." Teacher Ouyang is also looking forward to your well-being. "Xiaobao looked at his mother's shining eyes, took a deep breath, and picked up his rice bowl.

While cleaning up in the kitchen, Lingyun still couldn't help but complain to Dali: "You said This Ouyang's words are too hurtful. It hurts the child's self-esteem! I have to talk to him. Dali mopped the floor and advised, "The words are a little harsh. The teacher must be worried about the child." Didn’t you just say that the teacher is dedicated? This is a job for them, but if they still worry about it like this, do you think it’s hard or not? It’s not someone else’s child, why would someone go to such trouble? Besides, if you don’t stand with the teacher, how can you educate your children? " Lingyun listened, and her heart slowly calmed down.

In the afternoon, Dali received another call from Teacher Ouyang, who said a lot. The sentence Dali remembered most clearly was "The child's learning direction is not the same. Clearly, you have to find the motivation for him to learn! Just try to plant a seed in his heart! ”

? This summer vacation, Xiaobao actually took the initiative to ask for tutoring. Lingyun is so happy. You should enroll your child in a tutoring class before. Xiaobao will never go. , Dali also thinks it doesn’t make much sense. He always sleeps in class, and can he just make up a few classes? But now the children take the initiative, and the effect will definitely be good. Xiaobao asks for online classes, saying that there are rich online resources and teachers. He has a high standard and is a famous teacher from a famous school. The couple discussed it and signed up for online classes.

In the first few days, Xiaobao did well in online classes and often told them about his achievements. She was so happy that she praised her child at the dinner table, and Dali encouraged her at the same time. Thank God, Xiaobao finally knew how to study.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and within a month, Lingyun was no longer happy. Get up.

On this day, Lingyun was in class and suddenly found that her card was missing 10,000 yuan. After thinking about it, she couldn't find the account to spend the money, so she started to feel uneasy. Find someone to investigate. When she heard the news, Lingyun burst into tears. She picked up the phone and called Xu Dali. As soon as Dali got through, all Lingyun's resentment and grievances were overwhelming. Her voice poured out, and the whole office seemed to be exploding. Dali hurried to the door and listened patiently, but there was no chance for him to interrupt. Finally, Ling Yun's brows became knotted. Dali took a long breath. He returned to the chair numbly. Lao Zhang saw Dali's stunned look and walked over to him and said, "What's wrong? Did your family leader give you a lecture? " Dali gave a wry smile and said nothing. Lao Zhang said slowly: "Children, it's all like that. Who doesn't want to be lazy during the holidays? We still sleep in on weekends. Don't worry, it will be fine in a few days. "Dali shook his head. It was as if he hadn't said anything. Lao Zhang saw that Dali didn't answer, so he continued: "When my son was in school, he would go crazy during the holidays and play all the time. I just don't care, let him play, and sometimes play with him. As soon as school started, the teacher took control of him, and his grades took control of him. He has such a good face. This kid knew what he was thinking, no matter what, he still passed the 211 exam. Let’s play for a while during the holidays, it won’t be in the way! "Dali looked at the usually low-key Lao Zhang who was not pleasing to the eye today. It really hurts to stand and talk!

? Lan Yu was watering the flowers by the window sill, and when he heard Lao Zhang's teasing, he felt faintly. One sentence: "Can't you say that, children are just like this flower, with different characteristics, how can we generalize? When growing flowers, you have to grow them according to their habits. Like this asparagus, which is thin, weak, and delicate, it cannot withstand direct sunlight, but it also cannot lack water; you, like this cactus, are drought-tolerant and like sunshine; Rose flowers..." Lao Zhang said with a smile: "I agree with this, you will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans. Sow the seeds and the flowers will bloom! "Dali listened, his brows relaxed, but they quickly knitted together again. "Seeds? ! " He stared at the pots of flowers on the window sill and couldn't help but be lost in thought.

When Xu Dali returned home, a war had just ended and the house was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. Lingyun was sitting on the sofa. Sobbing, Xiaobao lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. He sighed vigorously and sat on the sofa without speaking.

For a while, it was pungent. The smell of cigarette smoke filled the room. Xu Dali never smoked at home. Xiaobao felt nervous and quickly got out of bed.

When I went to the door of the room and looked out, my dear, on the coffee table in the living room, cigarette ashes and cigarette butts were scattered messily on it. Dad was sunk in the sofa, with a depressed look on his face. Xiaobao is not afraid of his mother yelling, but he is afraid that his father will not speak. He stood blankly at the door, feeling that this time, his father was really angry.

? Xu Dali smoked for a long time, Lingyun sobbed and said angrily: "What do you think we can do? How dare you steal my card for ten thousand yuan! You think this naughty kid How brave are you?"

"Xu Xiaobao, come out!" Xu Dali yelled at his son for the first time. Xiaobao was so excited that he knew a storm was coming. He walked up to his father and lowered his head. "Come here, tell me, what did you do with the money? If you don't tell me clearly today, let's see how I deal with you!" Xu Dali also turned into Li Lingyun, and fired a barrage of reprimands at Xu Xiaobao. Xu Xiaobao listened without saying a word. Xu Dali changed his usual gentleness and walked around the room angrily, smoking one cigarette after another in his hand. Speaking of shortness of breath, I choked on the smoke and coughed.

? Xiaobao looked at his father's furious look, and finally muttered in a low voice: "I bought something." "What did I buy? Ten thousand?" "I bought equipment..." "Equipment? What?" "Equipment?" "It's... it's... the game..." "Game? King of Glory?" "Hmm..." Lingyun jumped up from the sofa, rushed to Xiaobao, and slapped her. On his face, "You...you...are really pissing me off!" After saying that, Lingyun cried loudly and prepared to beat the child while crying. Xu Dali stood up in a loud voice and pulled her away. "Speak slowly if you have something to say!" "It's all your fault. Slowly, slowly. Look, now you actually dare to steal money to buy equipment. Okay, you No matter!" Lingyun sat down and burst into tears.

? Xu Xiaobao also covered his face and cried silently. He knew that he was in trouble and did not dare to express his anger. Xu Dali took out another cigarette and stared at Xiaobao, "Look at how angry your mother is. Ten thousand yuan is three months' salary for your mother and I. But if necessary, for example, give We didn't hesitate to sign up for online classes. Why did you buy gaming equipment secretly?" Xiaobao hesitated for a long time before muttering in a low voice: "Dad, I wanted to study online. When I was tired, I just wanted to relax, and I thought, just play for a while. I didn’t expect... As soon as I played, I would..." Xiaobao took a breath, and Xu Dali didn't catch his breath, "We classmates all play, and during the holidays, Everyone plays in a team, and if you want to win, you must have good equipment. I was looked down upon by my classmates, I don’t have many friends, I don’t know how to play anymore, and no one cares about me, but I don’t dare to tell you, You must disagree, so, I..." Xu Dali felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this. Lingyun shed more tears.

? The room fell into terrible silence again. Still Lingyun couldn't help but said: "Do you look down on your classmates? Do you look down on you just because you play games? Huh? We live frugally and for you, we are reluctant to buy anything for ourselves. You are so good, you only know how to play, and now you are still playing tricks You dare to steal money and play!" As she said that, she rushed into Xiaobao's room, took out the carefully packaged Xiaobao's final exam paper, and tore it into pieces in three clicks, "Let's play, let's play, It's useless, let's see what you can do!"

Xiaobao cherished the test papers his father packed for him. When he saw his mother's crazy behavior, he couldn't help shouting: "I am just rubbish. , you all look down on me! Don’t you play when I’m called? Sometimes, dad doesn’t even come back home. How can you just play? Who of you has ever asked me? Besides my grades, what else do you care about me? You are not as good as Grandpa Zhao talking to me..." ? Xu Dali The eyes staring at her son suddenly widened, and Lingyun was also stunned. Xu Xiaobao said this, turned back to his room, and closed the door with a bang.

? For a long time, neither husband nor wife spoke. Xiaobao's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting their hearts hard. Their hearts were hurt more than losing the ten thousand yuan. Did they pay too little for this son? But what image do they have in the eyes of children? How much do you know about your children? Doorman Uncle Zhao?

? Another sleepless night.

? At dawn, Xu Dali came to the concierge. Uncle Zhao was already cleaning.

? "Good morning, Uncle Zhao!"

? Uncle Zhao looked at Dali and said, "Hey, you are so rare. What's the matter so early?"

"To tell you the truth, I want to tell you about my little treasure."

"Xiaobao," Uncle Zhao said excitedly, "That's a good boy. Take a look. My house is often tidied by Xiaobao. It’s cute and clean. Moreover, the little guy is very knowledgeable about green plants. I like to raise flowers and plants. He often helps me find some fertilizer. Don’t tell me, it’s very good. Look. Look, how beautiful these flowers are, it’s all his fault!” As Xiaobao was talking, Uncle Zhao smiled all over his face. "This kid is very smart. He chatted with me for a long time. There were a lot of fungi, vines, cats, and birds. I can't remember them, but I loved listening to him. "My old eyesight is so dim that I can tell people accurately!" The old man kept talking, and as he listened vigorously, he felt warm in his heart.

Lingyun also came to the concierge at some unknown time. She also listened to part of what Uncle Zhao said. She smiled sheepishly at Uncle Zhao, who also smiled at her, "Teach her well, Xiaobao is a good guy."

? Dali and Lingyun turned around and walked home. , it seemed so long, and they walked very hard. "In addition to giving him food and drink, what else can we give him?" Dali seemed to be talking to himself, Lingyun nodded, "My temper is too bad, mobile phone... I also have to..." "Lingyun, we Take a leave and go to Yunnan. The plants there are very rich. How about we go there with the kids?" Dali suggested, "I think there should be the real glory he wants there!" , thrown into the distance!
