life is sweet

Chapter 174 [174] Why is it harder to bring up children now than before?

Seeing this, Su Qingchun must have followed this perfect timing and said: "Look, the child's stomach is growling, this can't be a lie to you, right?"

"It's gurgling, I'm really hungry."

After finishing speaking, he said to Huang Xiaopei in a gentle tone, "Okay, okay, let's talk about anything else after the child has finished eating."

"After all, she is still a child, and now is the time to grow her body. You are her mother, so you must not have the heart to let her be so hungry, right?"

Su Qingchun saw that Huang Xiaopei did not reply after finishing speaking, and added, "Okay, okay, you are an adult, so don't be angry with children like this."

What Su Qingchun said was correct, people's hearts are fleshy, not to mention that Huang Xiaopei was the one who gave birth to Su Zixuan in October, so it must be heartbreaking to see the child hungry.

Today, although she has lost all face in front of other teachers, and all her efforts to teach have become futile, and she even treats it as a deaf ear, and it goes in the left ear and out the right ear, all of which make Huang Xiaopei extremely angry, but No matter how angry she was, she was Su Zixuan's mother after all, and now that the child was hungry, Huang Xiaopei couldn't bear to keep her from eating.

So she said to Su Zixuan who had been obediently sitting on the chair:
"Then if you're really hungry, eat first, and I'll settle the score with you after the meal."

After Su Zixuan heard his mother's words, he suddenly shouted: "Yeah!"

Her shout was as happy as a prisoner who was waiting to be convicted when he was suddenly informed of his acquittal, and then she jumped out of the desk in an instant, and ran to the door quickly.

The sound of yes scared the parents on the side, not so much the shock as the shock.

At this time, Huang Xiaopei was still angry. She looked at Su Zixuan who was so excited when he heard the meal, and obviously had no intention of repenting. Wouldn't her hard work just now be in vain again?

At this time, Su Qingchun looked at his daughter's emotion that turned his face faster than the book, and he was also stunned. He turned his head and glanced at Huang Xiaopei. He didn't expect that Huang Xiaopei was also looking at him at this time. The two husband and wife looked at each other at the same time. At the same time, the two laughed bitterly.

This scene really echoed that sentence: It is really her own, there is no other way, otherwise I really can't help but want to beat her up.

Huang Xiaopei looked at Su Qingchun and said with a sneer, "Look, this is your daughter, she is like this, are you angry?"

"Sometimes I really want to slap her." Huang Xiaopei gritted his teeth angrily, "Not only did I hit her, but if I really followed what she did, sometimes I would have the urge to kill her."

"Hehe. Don't be so angry, are you really willing to beat me?"

"Why don't you give up? None of us were beaten when we were young. Their generation is so happy. In my opinion, she just needs a beating. A few beatings will probably be enough."

"Forget it, don't be angry about it, children are naughty."

"Who is as naughty as her," Huang Xiaopei replied angrily.

Then she paused for a while and added, "Of course I also know that most of these children are really difficult to take care of. Not long ago, I also read a news that a parent was childishly entered and had a heart bypass." gone."

"The angry parents have entered the hospital. It can be seen how angry the children are now. This is really the reality. These bear children are so angry," Huang Xiaopei sighed suddenly, "You said that our older generation How come it feels so easy to take care of so many children, compared to taking care of children now is like serving the ancestors, it's really different."

"Is it true that the children of our time were different from the children of today, or is it that the people of the previous generation worked hard to raise children and we don't know at all?"

"You expect the elders of the previous generation to take care of their children the same way our generation does?" Su Qingchun asked, "Didn't the children back then just come here for nothing?"

"In the past, there were many children in every household. It was impossible to take care of the children like we do now, let alone take good care of them. In my opinion, the elders of the previous generation were simply laissez-faire with their children. It can even be said that children in that era were left to fend for themselves. "Su Qingchun continued to explain.

"That's not enough, is it?"

"Really," Su Qingchun said, "I don't dare to say anything else, anyway, I know that our previous generation is like this, many people can survive because of luck," Su Qingchun said, "You see My dad only has one older sister right now?"

"Yup!"

"Don't you think it's strange that the birth rate is so low without planning in that era?" Su Qingchun asked.

"Yes, it's very strange. At that time, my parents had 5 or 6 sisters, and even 7 or 8 sisters. But didn't your parents have fewer children because of your grandfather's early death?" Huang Xiaopei asked.

"My father was only a few years old when my grandfather passed away, but he was already 50 years old at that time. He was not considered an early death in that era. It can only be said that he gave birth to my father late."

Su Qingchun continued, "You have many parents and sisters, maybe it has something to do with your family's economic conditions. Anyway, it's not so easy for us to raise children, and too few of the children survived."

"Actually, my grandma didn't just give birth to two children at all. She actually gave birth to five children. My father's youngest one died when the eldest was a baby. The second child died of starvation during a famine. The other third child died of illness when he was raised until a few years old."

"Huh? Why haven't I heard you say it before?" Huang Xiaopei asked curiously.

"What's there to say about it? My father wasn't even born at that time, and I wouldn't mention it if I didn't mention it. I just heard it from my grandma when I was a child. Besides, everyone was used to that kind of situation at that time. I still I heard from my grandma that a person in the village was pregnant and went back to her mother’s house, but the child was born on the road, and the child died when it was born. As a result, she dropped the child and came back alone. The family asked her where the child was, She just said she died and threw it away, and the most important thing is that the family listened to it like this, how calm it is!"

"My God, is this a legend you are talking about?"

"It's true. People at that time couldn't get enough to eat, and they were really indifferent to children. At that time, children who died before reaching maturity didn't even have graves, and they were thrown away casually, especially those who were younger than 3 years old. Parents handle it more casually, there used to be a place in our village where children’s corpses were kept.”

"What you said is too scary."

"It's scary, but it's true." Su Qingchun said with certainty.
