Forty has a hurdle

Chapter 67

"Two thousand seven hundred and eight! This is too expensive!"

Qin Yali exclaimed, her voice was loud, and instantly attracted the attention of others.

Suddenly, her face was as red as a piece of silk.

Zhao Hongming didn't make a sound, but there was some surprise on his face.

"Huanhuan, these shoes cost more than 2000 yuan, which is close to 3000 yuan! How about we choose another pair that costs more than 1000 yuan?"

Avoiding the eyes of others, Qin Yali sat next to Zhao Huan who was trying on shoes, and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Huan did not speak, but put on his shoes slowly, stood in front of the mirror, walked back and forth a few steps, and jumped again.

"Mom, I know that these shoes are more expensive, but all the students wear these shoes, and I want a pair too."

Zhao Huan sat on the stool, not intending to take off his shoes at all.

My father lost his job and found a job again, but the salary was not as high as before, and the family still had to pay back the loan every month. He went to Qixing and paid more than 3 yuan in tuition fees.

Zhao Huan was aware of all these situations.

However, if you really don't have such a pair of shoes with √, you really can't hold your head up in front of your classmates!

His heart skipped a beat, and he planned to carry it to the end with his mother.

Even if I am running around today, I still have to buy this pair of shoes.

"No, Zhao Huan, these nearly [-] shoes are not worth it. You are growing up now. I'm afraid you won't be able to wear these shoes in half a year. Your size is different from your father's. He also If you can’t wear them, then these shoes will be useless!”

"I think it's better to buy a pair with a lower price, or let's go to another brand's store to have a look, buy the economical pair first, and then buy it after your feet no longer grow after the Chinese New Year, okay? ?”

Looking at her son who bowed his head and said nothing, Qin Yali thought for a while and came up with a compromise.

Qin Yali's thoughts did not elicit the slightest response from Zhao Huan.

He sat quietly on the stool and didn't speak, but his hands on the stool had clenched his fists tightly without knowing when.

"Zhao Huan, I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?"

Seeing her son's appearance like this, Qin Yali also became angry in her heart, and her voice couldn't help being a little harsh.

"Yali, stop talking, the child has already said so, let's buy him a pair!" Zhao Hongming also came over at this time and sat beside Zhao Huan. "Just, Huanhuan, let's talk about it first. In the future, we can't buy such expensive shoes. We can buy cheaper ones. Shoes are easy to wear and comfortable. You don't have to buy such brand-name products. OK?"

Zhao Hongming gently pulled his wife and gestured to the surroundings.

This is a public place where everyone is watching. He doesn't want his wife to conflict with his children here.

He also heard Zhao Huan's reason for buying shoes.

There are some things that I can't tell my wife right now. It's not that I can't afford more than 2000 shoes. Since Zhao Huan's temper is already on the rise, if there is a quarrel here, it will be the husband and wife who will lose face in the end.

"Old Zhao, but this."

Qin Yali wanted to continue talking, but she saw that Zhao Hongming had already picked up the shoe box on the ground, and pulled Zhao Huan straight to the cashier.

Seeing that her husband had made up her mind, Qin Yali had no choice but to get up and follow.

After Zhao Hongming took out his credit card and swiped it, he didn't stay any longer, greeted his wife and children, and left.

Along the way, the family who were shopping happily at first gradually distanced themselves from each other.

Qin Yali walked with her head buried in the front, without looking at Zhao Huan again.

Zhao Hongming walked in the middle, turning his head from time to time to urge Zhao Huan who fell behind.

Zhao Huan held his shoes, lowered his head, and didn't say anything. He just quickened his pace a few times when his father urged him, but he never walked to his father's side.

Ten minutes later, the three returned home.

"boom."

Qin Yali sat down on the sofa and threw the bag in her hand on the coffee table.

"Zhao Huan, I don't want to talk about you outside, but why are you so ignorant? Shoes that cost close to 3000 yuan! When we buy things, we also need to look at the financial strength of our own family? You don't know."

After sitting down, Qin Yali crackled.

"Did you see the pair of shoes your father is wearing today? He has been wearing them for three or four years, and he is reluctant to buy a new pair. Even if he bought a new pair, he only bought two or three hundred yuan. What kind of thing is this!"

As she spoke, tears rolled down from the corners of Qin Yali's eyes.

Facing his mother's lecture, Zhao Huan felt restless.

He didn't even put down the shoes in his hands, so he stood beside the coffee table with the shoes in his hands.

When mother mentioned father's shoes, Zhao Huan's eyes moved to his father's feet.

Indeed, he had seen his father's shoes before, and he had worn them for a long time.

A burst of shame suddenly appeared in my heart, what I did today was indeed a little too much.

Thinking of this, his nostrils became sour, and tears flowed out.

"Hey, I said, what are you doing here? Isn't it just a pair of shoes? Huanhuan, remember what Dad said in the store just now." Seeing his wife and children crying, Zhao Hongming couldn't help but support his forehead and said.

He comforted Zhao Huan, pulled his wife up and entered the bedroom.

"Let go of me, what are you doing? Zhao Hongming, let me tell you, if you continue to indulge him like this, if he wants the stars in the sky in the future, you have to pick them off for him too."

After closing the bedroom door, Qin Yali shook off her husband's hand angrily and asked.

"Wife, I'm afraid you didn't listen carefully to what Huanhuan had to say in the store?" Zhao Hongming gently pulled his wife over and let her sit on the bed.

"Yes, why didn't you listen? Isn't it just a comparison? But that's someone else, as long as he doesn't compare himself, wouldn't it be fine?"

Qin Yali's anger has not subsided, she said angrily.

This atmosphere of comparison, not to mention Qixing Middle School, even the Beicheng Primary School where she teaches, also exists.

Students in a class, whoever brings a new kettle today, will definitely have a second, third, and even more tomorrow.

Although the lower grade students don't know what a famous brand is, he only knows that I want to have what others have.
As the head teacher, Qin Yali hated this kind of atmosphere. She had talked about this topic with the students' parents more than once at the parents' meeting.

They all hope that parents will not instill some thoughts of adults into their children, so that they can have a pure heart.

It's just that the Parents' Association has overpaid, but with little effect.

Some parents can actively cooperate with teachers to educate students, but most parents adhere to one idea and will never let their children lose points in front of others.
