This rare weekend made Xiao Chu feel very good, he did not sleep as hard as I expected until he woke up naturally, but got up early in the morning to go for a run, and then went to buy a bag of buns.
When he came home with a bun on his face, I was burning tomato and shrimp soup in the kitchen, and Xiao Fat stood next to me telling stories like funny things in school, such a warm shot made me feel like I was back in his childhood.
"Tomorrow the class teacher will give me twenty-five!" He smiled and told me that the pride on his face was like the triumphant return of a soldier who had made a battle achievement.
"Yesterday the teacher asked a few of us to stay and wait for the inspection to see if the exam we packed up was unqualified and had a holiday, who wants to stay?" I was walking outside, and I was intercepted by the teacher, who said that the students who stayed behind were each rewarded with twenty yuan, and I cheekily asked the teacher for five more yuan, and the teacher agreed. ”
I was simply shocked by him, how could this child, who had never been short of money to spend, be so obsessed with money? Think about our years, left by the teacher to do something would be considered a very honored thing, in the fifth grade, we even helped the teacher to do farm work, more than a dozen children went to the teacher's house to help him pick up the stick, we also proudly think that the teacher selected are good students, remember to finish the work of the teacher's mother brought a basket of fried peanuts for us to eat, the result is that no student reached out.
Help the teacher to do something The teacher wants to give money? Children still take it for granted, is the era different or the ditch of the post-00s and post-70s generations is too deep?
I remembered that when Xiao Chu was in the third grade, when he came home from school at noon that day, Xiao Chu ran to me with a smile on his face like he had won the jackpot, and the chubby little hand was holding a roll of dirty money and almost flew to my face: "Sold!" Eighteen bucks! ”
"Oh?" I was amused by his look, "What sold for eighteen bucks?" ”
"My Dragon Fighter, I stopped playing, sold it to Liu Zihao!"
As he spoke, he opened his palm and glanced at the change in his hand: "Oh, and his taste!" ”
"Sell your game number to a classmate?" Not quite right, right? "For a moment I was blinded not to know what to say.
"What's not appropriate? At first I sold fifty, he said twenty, I said yes, he said nineteen, I said yes, he said yes, he said yes, he gave eighteen again, I said I didn't sell, he had to buy it. Dealing with such people is not polite! Xiao Fat said as if he was angry and went back to the house to write his homework.
At that time, my first thought was to sell game numbers among my classmates, which was not a good thing. At the parent-teacher conference, I heard the teacher mention Liu Zihao's name, which was a child who was particularly addicted to playing games and learning.
When he finished his homework, I began to persuade the child who was as excited as winning the jackpot.
"Give the money back to your classmates!" You don't play directly to him to get, sell, how hurt the feelings of classmates ah! "Oh, I don't have any classmate relationship with him at all, and I don't usually play with him." Little Fat Man doesn't care.
After a while, the child named Si Yuan in the same community came to ask him to go to school together, and Xiao Fat happily drew five yuan from it, raised his hand to let Si Yuan smell something, and could see that Xiao Fat's way of making money made Si Yuan particularly envious.
That afternoon, the little fat thing was like a lingering shadow in my heart, thinking about it, I always felt that the child had done something unauthentic, the child played the game, which was something that the parents hated, he even used his own game number to earn money, if I were his teacher, I would definitely criticize these two children who did business.
When he came home from school, I found eighteen yuan of change and gave it to him: "Mom gave you eighteen yuan, you give him back the money of your classmates!" Eighteen yuan is not a small number for children, if Liu Zihao's mother knows about this matter, she will definitely criticize him; if your teacher knows, he will think that you are a very good child, and you will also play games and become addicted, causing a bad impact among your classmates. Isn't it a game number? If you don't want to play, give it to your classmates, boys, don't be so careful! ”
My words made the little fat face turn from sunny to cloudy at once.
", others also sell game numbers. Liu Zihao often takes more than ten pieces to buy game cards... Xiao Chu was full of reluctance, and tears quietly flowed down his face as he spoke, and it could be seen that this child who wanted to earn money and wanted to study at the University of Finance and Economics would be a banker in the future, and was particularly reluctant to give up his "first bucket of gold"
"It doesn't matter what others do to us, as long as you do it well, your mother hopes that you will give up the little benefits in front of you and gain the friendship of a classmate." 」
Little Fat Daddy also patiently persuaded on the side, Little Fat half lying on the sofa, full of tangled pain.
That night, when I went to bed, Xiao Fat let me stay with him for a long time, and as I talked, I sobbed and wiped away tears. I told him that it is good that you can earn money, but you have to rely on your own honest labor to operate legally, you do this, but also promote Liu Zihao's Internet addiction, many students in the class will also learn to play games to sell game numbers, and the price of your playing games is myopia, which is absolutely not advocated. Can you still be a role model for your classmates?
That day Xiao Fat fell asleep with tear marks, and the next morning after school, Xiao Fat told me: It was returned to him, hey, Liu Zihao didn't even say thank you!
Returned the money to Liu Zihao, but Xiao Fat for a long time felt that I did not do the right thing, interfered with a thing that should not be interfered with, because Liu Zihao did not appreciate it, continued to indulge in the game broken jar broken, he felt that returning the money to him was his own loss.
I didn't expect that the same version of the thing was re-staged many years later, I asked Xiao Fat, how many classmates did you leave behind? What if the teacher forgot to give it to you?
"What's that! I remind the teacher to give us money! Do you think it's the teacher's own money? The teacher gave us the class fee. "Little Fat Man doesn't care.
Yes, there is a class fee in the class, I remember when I was in my third year of high school, there was a classmate with a very difficult family who suddenly fell ill in the evening self-study, the teacher sent her to the health room at the entrance of the school, and gave her twenty yuan, for a time the image of the teacher was infinitely noble in our hearts, but then the teacher wrote twenty yuan in the class fee expenditure, we all felt very undeserved, and even discussed behind the scenes, the teacher should pay for it himself.
Compared with children, there seems to be a lot more "politeness" in the adult world, and sometimes I involuntarily morally kidnap myself, but I still can't give myself a correct answer. How to let children establish a correct view of money?
Little Fat has been a frugal child since he was a child, and when he was a child, he said that he would have to rely on himself to earn his own money when he grew up, and in the summer vacation of the second grade, he picked up a lot of drink bottles in order to buy a bicycle. It's good to be frugal and not wasteful, but some money really can't be earned.
Although there will be a generation gap between the post-00s and the post-70s, I still decided to talk to Xiao Fat again, a gentleman loves money, has a way to get it, a brother, and a clear account, but there are many feelings that money can't buy.
