Zhuang Ya felt that he was unreasonable, but forced herself to sit down and talk to him patiently: "I'm here for your own good, don't think that the situation is good now, just think that you can really make money from this for a lifetime, you need money, I'll give it to you , when you grow up a little bit and figure out what you want to do, you can use it as start-up capital to realize your dream… ”
Xia Ye looked at her, his face sinking like water.
Zhuang Ya paused for a while, and said in a slower tone, "You are still young, so it's right that you don't understand. My mother has come here, and I want to tell you some things. You should do things at any age, you know. What? You shouldn’t be making money first, but learning and broadening your horizons.”
Xia Ye said: "So do you regret it?"
Zhuang Ya was stunned, "What?"
Xia Ye's tone was stiff and sarcastic: "I regret not leaving my dad and me earlier and do what you should do."
Zhuang Ya's face was ugly, her brows were raised, and she said impatiently: "I don't always have so much time to work with you, I'm very busy with work, this time I only have half a day, believe it or not, I'm here The second is to really want to help you.”
Xia Ye shook his head, "I don't need any help."
Zhuang Ya was annoyed by his ignorant attitude. Even her son when he grew up was the same in her eyes as when he was a child, stubbornly living in his own logic, completely unreasonable. She took a sip of water and tapped her delicately groomed nails on the water glass, "What the hell did your dad teach you over the years, I knew that you wouldn't be able to get any formal education in such a small place..."
"Speaking of my dad, I also want to ask him a question." Xia Ye suddenly interrupted, staring at her and said, "You left us for money, right?"
Zhuang Ya lowered her voice and said angrily, "What did your dad tell you?"
Xia Ye looked at her, shook his head after a while, and said hoarsely, "He never told me this, he didn't say a word, he just said he didn't do a good job, he was a drag on you, and he didn't take good care of me. , You have been with that person for more than ten years, don't you know what kind of character he is? He is a good old man, but you don't want a good person, you want money, you want power, and you insisted on leaving because you wanted those things. "
"Natsuno!"
"You'd rather marry and be a mother to someone else's teenage child than go into the circle you recognize."
Zhuang Ya closed her eyes, her chest was full of anger, but her literacy did not allow her to do anything rude here. What she hated most in her life was embarrassment - embarrassment because of poverty, and embarrassment because of her humble attitude. She swore that no matter when she was, she would never change back to her past self.
Xia Ye couldn't talk to her anymore, so he got up and left.
Zhuang Ya has not been treated so rudely for a long time, her hands trembling with anger, she stood up and called him twice, but Xia Ye didn't mean to stop at all, he pushed open the store door and walked out.
The wind chimes of the coffee shop collided twice. At this time, there were no customers in the shop, only the waiter glanced here curiously.
Zhuang Ya was fed up too, took a big bill on the table, and left the store with a pale face.
Xia Ye went back very early, there was no one at home, and he was not in the mood to go to the front yard to deliver books to the children, so he went straight back to the bedroom with his head covered and fell asleep.
He hasn't had a good rest since a few days ago, and even more so today, he just felt a severe headache and nausea.
Whether physical or psychological.
He tried hard not to think about the people he saw today, and the words he said, but they still echoed in his ears repeatedly until he fell into a deep sleep.
He had a dream.
dreamed of the trial.
All the tables and chairs had grown large, and he had shrunk into a child, standing there, bewildered.
"Only ten years old!"
"I don't know how high the sky is!"
"It's too scary, it's a crime!"
"Yes, the first cyber crime in China, the modification of the telecommunications database... is a criminal case with a large amount of money."
"Even if there is a child protection law, what about his parents? The parents' supervision responsibility is not well done, and they should take responsibility!"

…
There were voices from all directions, some whispering, some sitting on the high platform to pronounce the sentence loudly. The ten-year-old boy stood there and looked around, thinking that his father was not in good health, and his face was full of tension and worry. I looked around and didn't see my father's figure. Not only did he not relax, but he became more and more uneasy. His father was not here, yes, his father was ill and was treated in the hospital.
There was another figure beside him. He looked up in his dream and saw his mother.
They are very similar.
When Zhuang Ya took him out in the past, people who met them knew that they were mother and son without asking. They looked so much alike.
The woman on the side had a high nose bridge, her thin lips were red, and she was so indifferent to everyone. She raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a casual arrogance. She stood there, not holding her son's hand, but just came forward to accompany her and listened to the eloquent arguments of the lawyer she had found.
The little boy in the dream wanted to bang her hand, but it was quickly patted off, in exchange for a soft scolding: "Sit down!"
Just like before, the boy sat there with no expression on his face, like a delicate puppet.
It's just that this puppet is far less obedient than a woman thinks, and is no longer a capital that she can bring out to show off.
The dream was intermittent, and soon it became the home where Xia Ye lived before.
The items at home were messy, the woman was packing things, and the weak child couldn't stop her. She packed a suitcase, and when she was dragging her to leave, the boy hugged her arm again. This time, the boy was too flustered, no. Live guarantee: "I, I will be obedient, mother don't go, don't leave me and father, I will be a good child... I will never touch the computer again, I promise you!"
The woman frowned, pulled his arm away, and scolded in a very impatient tone: "When will you be like a normal child? Ah? When will you be normal, let me relax and take a breath?"
In the dream, the woman kept pinching his arm, and her mouth opened and closed to reprimanded something. He tried to break free, but he couldn't break free. When he moved a little, he was pulled even tighter, and his chest was stuffy and breathless.
Xia Ye's eyelashes trembled and he woke up from the dream.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the child lying on his chest, smiling at him, his little head rubbed against his chest and said, "Brother get up~"
Xia Ye closed his eyes, rolled over, pressed the child there, and patted his little butt twice.
Tang Jinyu usually moves slowly, but now she is clever and hides while covering her butt.
Xia Ye ignored him, got up and went to wash up. It took a while for a few handfuls of water to be poured on his face before he fully woke up from the nightmare. He was sweating all over his body, and his stomach was not feeling well, so he couldn't eat anything.
Tang Jinyu came over and stood by his lap. The child didn't hold any grudges at all, and even stepped on his feet and handed him a towel, "Is brother tired from the exam?"
Xia Ye said: "Tired."
"At that time, will you come to my house?"
"doing what?"
"Cut the watermelon for my brother~"
Xia Ye glanced at him, the child was happy, hugged his leg and raised his head and said, "Brother finished the exam, let's eat together! It's sweet!"
The expression on Xia Ye's face loosened, and he bent down and picked him up, "A watermelon is so happy, you haven't eaten less watermelon this year, right? Didn't you buy it the day before yesterday?"
"It's not the same, I planted it well." The child gestured to him happily, "Dad weighed it this morning, sixteen pounds, the king of melons!"
There are also more than ten kilograms of watermelons sold on the street outside, but they are less novel than those grown at home. In addition, this melon grows almost every day under their noses, and the child is very precious. Every day, I take a small ruler to measure the size, and it will not be delayed in wind and rain.
Xia Ye took him out and saw "The King of Stories" thrown on the coffee table in the living room outside. He also picked it up and gave it to him. Sure enough, he got a "wow" sound, followed by nice words, just like he didn't want money. The child in his arms kept coming out of his mouth, and a book could be praised for a whole day.
Xia Ye walked downstairs slowly with him in his arms, listening to him while walking, all of which he was used to. His younger brother didn't learn any new words yet, he just said "Hello, brother" over and over again.
I don't know why, Xia Ye listened all the way, and his heart calmed down a lot.
When I went to the front yard and pushed the door in, I returned to my usual appearance.
Tang Hongjun had already prepared a cutting board and a knife. The preparation work was very solemn. When he saw them coming in to greet him and come over to help, it was all a little busy. He asked the two children to wipe the melon with a wet towel, and it was all over. .
Tang Jinyu wiped it very carefully. After wiping, she stepped on her feet and said to Xia Ye: "Brother, look, little pig's tail~"
Xia Ye followed and saw that the watermelon was round and round, just like the enlarged version of the ball that his brother usually played with, with a short "tail" at the top and a circle.
Tang Hongjun tried his best to win the favor and said, "Xiaoyu, look at Dad, Dad is going to cut it open!"
Xia Ye picked up the child and put it on the chair beside him, letting him stand and watch.
Tang Gong raised his knife and cut open the watermelon. There was a crackling sound, and the melon split itself as soon as the blade cut into it!
The big watermelon on the restaurant table is crunchy and split into two halves, the skin is thin and crispy, full of water, red heart and black seeds, the watermelon juice flows out when you cut it with a knife. sweeter.
Tang Hongjun cut large pieces for everyone to eat. Xia Ye had no appetite at first, but the watermelon was slightly cold and sweet in his mouth, so he also ate two pieces.
Tang Jinyu ate a large piece and ate the reddish part of the melon rind with satisfaction.
Tang Hongjun said distressedly: "Xiaoyu won't eat that piece, Dad will give you another piece, let's eat this big one, this sweet!"
Tang Jinyu didn't answer, shook her head and said, "I'm full."
Tang Hongjun was still persuading him: "A small piece is not full, you can eat a little more, we still have so much left."
"Brother take the rest."
"what?"
"Brother exam, very tired."
Tang Hongjun looked at the half of the big watermelon left on the table, and tried his best to persuade: "That's not enough to eat, baby, let's keep a little bit. You planted it for a summer, it doesn't matter if you eat an extra piece."
Tang Jinyu shook her head and refused to eat.
The child was satisfied after eating one piece. When he left, Xia Ye was willing to take the rest away. Each family kept half of it. In addition, he took an extra portion for Mr. Xia, who worked overtime at night, and asked Xia Ye to take it back. Xia Ye looked at the watermelon in the bag and said, "Uncle, there are too many, leave some more for Xiaoyu."
Tang Hongjun sighed and said, "I think so too, but it's fine for Xiaoyu to pick the watermelon this morning. Isn't our family of five, sixteen pounds of watermelon, three pounds per person."
Xia Ye puzzled: "That's a pound more."
Tang Hongjun was delighted: "I left it for you, every time Xiaoyu divides things, isn't it yours the most? Hey, I can't compare to being a father!"
Xia Ye laughed and went back with the watermelon.
But a watermelon is more precious than anything.
Teacher Xia came back from overtime at night. After listening to what he said, she felt a pity that she didn't catch up with the melon cutting ceremony, but after eating the watermelon in the refrigerator, she smiled and said, "Xiaoyu hasn't eaten iced watermelon yet. , when he is older, give him a taste next time."
Tang Jinyu has always been well protected. Tang Hongjun and his wife have been a little overprotected, but they would rather be careful than make the child sick again. The fever scared them last time.
The Xia family is also very concerned about the children's health, and everyone in the family unites to create the illusion that "watermelons never need to be eaten iced". Throughout the summer, only on the hottest days are children allowed to eat a few bites of ice cream, and a lick is especially satisfying.
The whole family is waiting for the child to grow up quickly, healthy and carefree.
The author has something to say: Look at this melon, it's big and round~
Look at this kid, he's going to grow up a little more? (?>
