Xiaobei and the others, who were wanted to visit Yizhou by Li Longji on the pretext of missing them, were standing in front of a house in a relatively poor part of the city.
They were asked to support the venue. The children of several neighboring families in this area had to negotiate with their parents, but found that they had not discussed the capital with their parents, so they came to the restaurant and asked Xiaobei to help in the past, at least to maintain A fair.
Otherwise, what should I do if I get beaten by my parents while talking? At that time, not only did my goal fail to be achieved, but also suffered a loss, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable
So ten people from Xiaobei came, including the little boy who played the Monopoly game with them for many days at home and was a little confused.
There are five children looking for Xiaobei, all of them surnamed Chen, and they live in neighbors. They were moved from a village and settled here. The relationship is very good and the neighbors are in harmony.
The children in their family are naturally influenced by the adults. They usually go to school and go to school together, even when they play, and even after playing for a long time, they will eat and live in a certain house, even if they are just a few steps away, they can get home. Also stay.
The five children are all boys, the oldest is ten years old, and the youngest is eight and a half years old. They are considered to be similar in age.
They are in trouble, which is a big trouble for them.
Their money was taken away by their parents, saying that they would save it for them to grow up and get married.
But they want to use money now and need to do their own thing instead of depositing money in a bank.
The five children are doing well and can get scholarships every semester. They have their own accounts at the bank, and the previous scholarships existed there, but now their deposit certificates are taken away by their parents and they are not allowed to take them.
Even so, they were not discouraged. They used their spare time to wholesale snacks, and then they took them to the school to sell some of them, and then went to the market to set up a small stall with gadgets they made themselves. They used this to exchange money. .
At this moment, Beckham's hand is holding a toothpick box they made. It is the bottom box with a bird on the top. As soon as he presses the bird's head with his hand, the bird grabs a toothpick from the box.
It doesn't have much technical content, and Beckham also has it in his home, but it's not a bird, it's a button. Every time you press it, a toothpick comes out, but it's not sold out.
The five little boys thought of and designed and made them by themselves. In addition to this thing, there is also a rotatable thing that can be used to brush the jar in Beckham's hand. As long as the brush is inserted into the jar, the hair on the top will start. Rotate, and then clean the areas that are usually inconvenient.
These two things are part of their stall, and there are several other tools that can be used in daily life. They are simple to make, but they are very practical.
They use such things to sell money and take money to buy other things. What they are making is an airplane model, which is not actually an airplane, but a bird.
Because there are rubber bands now, they want to use this kind of rubber band strength. In the past, they could only use animal tendons. The effect was very poor. Now they think the new monkey rubber band can let the birds fly out.
However, due to the shape of the bird, they did not succeed after doing a few. They still need to make further improvements and buy more advanced measuring tools.
After looking for it, they found a shop called Magic Toy Store in the city. There were several measuring tools that could be sold better than the ones they used in class, and they were more accurate. They were made of steel.
Then they found a small motor powered by a battery, but this thing is not for sale, they can only continue to use rubber bands to make their little bird.
Tools need money, and the broken rubber bands need money each time they are tested. Their money is taken away by the adults, and even the money for selling things is not left.
When they couldn't think of any other way, they chose to find Beckham for a just negotiation with his family.
The ten people of Xiaobei came here, and Xiaobei also understood what was going on. Children don’t look down on them, but they like to invent and create. It is estimated that the adults think that they are spending money indiscriminately, so they control their funds. live.
"Have you come back? It's wrong for you to skip class." Beckham said to a little boy next to him.
This little boy is called Chen Ming, a very common name. Now he is the only one who is with Xiaobei and the others. The other four little boys ran to find their own family members. Their family members also have to work and are not at home during the day. , Anyway, they eat in the school, do not need adult care, so that the adults in their family save a lot of heart.
Chen Ming also looked anxious, looked towards the end of the road, and shook his head: "Not yet, maybe I have to wait a while, working at the wharf and another workshop that takes two quarters of an hour, Beckham, my dad. Mother, come back, you must speak for us.
You see, we make things by ourselves and spend our own money without delay in studying. Why don't our parents let us do it? I have to tell me to read the book. Didn't I read it? After reading it, I thought about making some gadgets by myself, and later I would make bigger things and more technical things in order to serve Datang.
They just don't let them read the book, and they are not allowed to use the knowledge learned in the book. What is my purpose of reading the book? It's not a story book. "
Beibei nodded repeatedly. She also felt that the parents of the five little boys were too much. They did not delay their academic performance and could still earn money to do research on their own. What's the reason to stop it
And look at the gadgets in your hands, don't look at the small things, but use a lot of thoughts, it should be encouraged, not curbed.
"Why didn't the bird fly?" Xiaobei hadn't seen the real thing yet, and didn't know what the bird looked like. He thought he might be able to help five people come up with some ideas.
"Wait for me to get it for you and put it in Xiaotao's house." Chen Ming dropped a word and ran outside a nearby house. The outside yard door was unlocked, and you could get in by pushing it open.
After a while, Chen Ming came back with tears on his face, slipped a small bag in his hand, handed it to Xiaobei, sobbed and said: "It's broken, the little bird we finally made was kicked and broken by an adult, while we were not at home. , How can this be done? If it breaks, the rubber bands are all broken, and the tool ruler still has small carving knives, pliers, etc. I can't find it."
Xiaobei put down the two things in his hand, took the bag, and saw it, didn't it, the bird made of bamboo was trampled on by someone, and there were shoe prints on it.
Suddenly, there was a anger in Xiaobei's heart, it was too much, it was too much, how could there be such an adult? It was unscrupulous when dealing with his children.
Xiao Yuan came over to take a look, showing a sad look, and said angrily: "The adults in their family have never considered the children's ideas. They are using absolute parental power to stifle any autonomous thinking of the children. They feel that they are always right. .
If this is the case, they shouldn’t live in this place, but in the spacious and wealthy courtyards. Since they didn’t go in, it means that they are still much worse than those people in this society, so what right do they have? To determine the child's future path? "
"Yes." Beckham said angrily: "They thought that children would be promising in the future if they listened to them, but they themselves had nothing to do. Why do they think they would have a future after listening to them?"
Xiaohai also said: "It’s better for brothers and sisters. He never asked us what we must do. He just told us how to do or what the results will be, and let us choose by ourselves. No matter what we choose, brothers and sisters support. , And help us to adjust where we went wrong, and give us an analysis of why we went wrong.
In fact, I know that we have missed many things, but we have not made the same mistakes, and our brother and sister helped us solve the troubles left behind after doing the wrong things.
This is the real concern, not like Chen Ming and the others. This is forbidden and that is forbidden. Everyone has a different path. Why bother to choose? Can't figure it out. "
"It... Actually, my parents are still very good. When I couldn't eat meat before, they finally got a little bit fishy. They kept them all for me, and made new clothes for me. They didn't wear them. But now I am not afraid. Well, if you want to eat meat, you can buy a little bit every day. Thank you brothers and sisters."
Suddenly, Chen Ming began to help his parents speak again. When he talked about how life was going well, a smile appeared on the ruddy face with tears.
"You are welcome, you should, after all, everyone is working hard for Datang." Xiaobei quickly became humble.
Xiaoyuan began to comfort Chen Ming, telling him not to worry, and the matter would be resolved smoothly.
While he was talking, Chen Ming's father came back, and there were two other people with him. Depending on the situation, they were doing things in the same place.
When I saw Xiaobei, the three adults seemed very cautious. It was not that Xiaobei and the others were not cute, but that on their way back, their son had told them what they needed to face.
It seems difficult to be approached by someone called Beckham, and it is still about the child.
After waiting for a while, the other two men also arrived, but the woman didn't come, thinking it was the man in the family who had the final say.
"Who trampled on the bird?" Beckham asked with drooping eyelids, without a trace of a good face.
"I, I'm Chen Tao's father, and my name is Chen Kaiming." A man said carefully.
"Bah!" Xiaobei chuckled in disregard of the image, and said: "Chen Kaiming, this name made you so amazing, where are you enlightened? When your big foot is on the bird, you Are you enlightened? Why don't you let them do things?"
Chen Tao's father, Chen Kaiming, is very nervous. He is afraid that Beckham will be taken away if he gets angry. What if the family doesn't have him
Listening to Xiaobei's question, he immediately replied: "I... I actually want my son to have a future. Xiaobei, what they do is clearly craftsmen. What will the craftsmen have in the future? They should study hard, in the future. To be the champion is the heart of the parents."
"No, don't talk about parents in the world. My father belongs to the Ministry of Engineering, he is a craftsman. I don't think my father is bad, I am proud of my father."
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Beckham interrupted the other party.
The five big men were speechless immediately. Your father is from the Ministry of Engineering, but your father is also the champion.
