Chapter 1
【Mother's nagging ultrasound】

School will start tomorrow, and I will be in the third grade.Finally bid farewell to the career of pencils, and entered the era of fountain pens and ballpoint pens.

"See if you still show off in front of me with that broken fountain pen this time. I have it too, and my mother specially went to the stationery store to choose it for me. It has a Transformers pattern on it!" Li Duomi took her mother to him. The fountain pen I bought dangled in front of my brother Li Duole.

"Transformers, how childish, what a kid's thing!" Elder brother Dole glanced at younger brother Domi with his eyes, and then returned to the English textbook.In fact, Li Duole really didn't want to read this English, but the school starts tomorrow, this irritating broken school, some kind of school test will be organized at the beginning of school.My mother told me to study hard, my mother's life is hard to break!The key is that if the test is not good at the start of school, the new sneakers will definitely be ruined, so this time I can only reluctantly cut the ball game.

"Aren't you just two grades above me? What an adult! You can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour." Domi said triumphantly.

"Go, stay here, don't interfere with my reading." Li Duole said indifferently.

Li Duomi was bored by her brother, and ran to her sister who was eating apples and reading fashion magazines.Gu Xiaoxi is not their biological sister, because her aunt and uncle work abroad and entrust her to Duole and Duomi's family. She has lived with them since elementary school, and she seems to be a member of the elders of this family.

Li Duomi took out Snoopy's ballpoint pen and shook it in front of her sister's eyes, with an expression of "come and praise my ballpoint pen" on her face.

Gu Xiaoxi raised his head, snatched the pen from Duomi's hand, without looking at it, and said directly: "Wow! This pen is really good! There is a Transformers pattern on it! Transformers... Ka Ka Ka Ka... handsome I’m stupefied!” There was an exaggerated and contrived expression on his face. After the "performance", she returned the pen to Li Duomi's hand, lowered her head and continued to eat apples and read magazines.I thought: "Isn't it just to satisfy a little vanity, it's easy to do."

The living room spent three seconds in sudden silence, and Gu Xiaoxi found that the shadow cast by Domi in front of him hadn't left yet.She thought to herself: "This time I didn't say what was in my heart by mistake. Why is he still not satisfied? Could it be that I raised his appetite? This kind of praise is no longer enough?" She raised her head suspiciously, looked at What I saw was Domi's very distressed face.

"Sister! You're going too far!" Domi's roar broke the silence of the living room. He shook the ballpoint pen in his hand and yelled at Gu Xiaoxi.

Only then did Gu Xiaoxi see clearly that what Domi brought over was Snoopy's ballpoint pen, not a Transformers pen, and she was ashamed at the time!
"I hurt my self-esteem!" Domi hugged his head in his chubby little arms and went back to the bedroom.With a bang, the door slammed loudly.

In the living room, only the elder brother Li Duole and elder sister Gu Xiaoxi, who read English, were left.

"You said you too, and you are perfunctory and don't say that you are professional." Li Duole finished watching a section of English and was about to take a break. He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, making sarcastic remarks in his mouth.

"That's better than someone who doesn't even bother to perfunctory!" Gu Xiaoxi said, picked up the fashion magazine, and went back to the bedroom with an apple in his hand.There was another loud slam of the door.

"Judging from the sound of the door slamming, you can tell the blood relationship between the two." Dole muttered alone there.

At this moment, the door opened.Mother Liu Fang came in from the outside carrying her bag. "What kind of blood relationship, school starts tomorrow, and you haven't prepared your homework well, what are you muttering about? You watch TV when I'm not here, why don't you learn from Li Duomi and Gu Xiaoxi? You are all studying in the bedroom, why are you watching the football here?"

After changing her shoes, her mother, Liu Fang, took off her coat and hung it on the wall, and started "nagging" offensively at Li Duole.Li Duole called her mother's nagging skills "nagging ultrasound".

"I want to rest for a while after finishing a chapter. I just put down my English book. If you don't believe me, touch the TV. The TV must not be hot yet." Li Duole felt very wronged. It was a rare performance and missed the most important moment. "Besides, you haven't seen them both, so how do you know they are studying in the bedroom, maybe they are doing something in there."

At this time, the bedroom doors of Duomi and Gu Xiaoxi opened at the same time. Li Duomi and Gu Xiaoxi said in unison: "(Aunt) Mom, you are back?" Standing in front of their respective doors with their backs bent.

"Hey! My darlings, I'm back!" Mother Liu Fang saw the siblings holding textbooks in their hands, and a sense of relief suddenly rose in her heart, and immediately injected four words into her tone of voice. Plus the sugar content.

"Those who don't know think they are your own." Li Duole muttered dissatisfied.

"What are you muttering about? Turn off the TV for me quickly. I just watched you watching the football game, and you're still arguing with me!" Mom's voice was stern, and then she turned her head to Gu Xiaoxi and Duomi amiably. Said, "You two are good, is it hard to study?" Mom Liu Fang said, walked up to Li Duomi, and rubbed his little head.

Dole turned off the TV, and went back to the bedroom sullenly with an English book.

【It's all a coincidence】

Mom helped them heat up the meals, and hurried to work again.

Li Duole was lying on the table reading English, feeling very aggrieved. After working hard all morning, he was criticized. He really wanted to throw away the book and continue watching the football game.But Li Duole's personality is a bit special, he made a mistake and you will admit it no matter how you criticize him, but he just can't stand being wronged.He thought that if he wanted to rehabilitate himself now, he could only bite the bullet and insist on reviewing this English well, and then get a good result in the test at the beginning of the school year.At that time, the hard facts will be in front of me, let's see what my mother has to say.right!Just do it.Li Duole forced the restless motor nerves in his body to sleep for an entire afternoon, roughly flipping through the English textbook.He felt that this was not enough, so he memorized the word list at the back of the book again and again for stability.

At the same time, the other two people, Gu Xiaoxi and Li Duomi, who got the sweetness of opportunism, one flipped through the fashion magazines all afternoon, and the apples were sour that they hiccupped, while the other almost touched the paint on the outside of the pen. Peel off!Not to mention that, after the two guys fiddled with their stuff, they started grabbing the remote control in front of the TV in the living room.

"What "Fuwa" are you watching? Are you naive?" Gu Xiaoxi grabbed the remote control and pressed it to the TV station that was broadcasting the Taiwanese idol drama "Lovers in Dolphin Bay".

"What idol drama are you watching? Are you vulgar or not!" Duomi grabbed the remote control and pressed it to the TV station of the cartoon "Fuwa".

"You're not old, but you know 'vulgar'. Do you know how to write vulgar?" Gu Xiaoxi said, his hands not idle, he grabbed the remote control and pressed "Lovers in Dolphin Bay".

"I... I don't know how to write... Dad said that when Mom was watching Korean dramas. Dad must be right!" Li Duomi argued there, and grabbed the remote control.When Gu Xiaoxi hid, Duomi ran into nothing.His head hit the mat all of a sudden.Angry and angry, he began to play tricks, "I'll tell you when my mother comes back!" He said that the circles of his eyes turned red, dropped a few golden beans, and then went back to the bedroom angrily.

Gu Xiaoxi won a big victory, but the idol drama ended.She was so angry that she pressed the remote control buttons randomly for a while, but there was not a single program she wanted to watch.He simply threw the remote control on the sofa and ran back to his room.

Li Duole finally finished his English review and was going to get some fruit from the refrigerator.I just walked into the living room, hey, the boxing championship is on TV.Li Duole's eyes were caught at once, and Duole was behind the sofa, waving his hands and shouting: "Left uppercut! Yes! Hit him!"

He was shouting vigorously, the living room door opened, and my mother came back from get off work.Li Duole's raised fist hadn't been put down yet, and his grinning mouth hadn't had time to close yet.This time, without further ado, my mother walked directly to the TV and touched it with her hand: "Li Duole, don't you have anything to say this time? The TV is hot... You get the stolen goods!"

"Mom! You are wronged! I am wronged more than Dou E! I just finished reading English and came out to get some fruit...it is Gu Xiaoxi! She just threw down the remote control and entered the room!" Justify yourself.

"Duo Le, you're lazy, you're fine if you don't study, and you're lying! Gu Xiaoxi, can I not understand? Tell me that Gu Xiaoxi is watching a boxing championship match, why don't you tell me that Ge You endorses shampoo!"

"Who endorsed what shampoo?" At this moment, Gu Xiaoxi and Li Duomi came out of their respective rooms holding their textbooks.

"No one speaks for shampoo. I'm here to educate Li Duole! You're an older sister too. You can't take care of your own studies. You have to take care of your younger brother. He watches TV all day. How can this be possible!" Mom Liu Fang's tone was just a little reproachful, which eased a lot.She glanced at Li Duomi again: "Yo! Domi, what's wrong with your eyes? Why are they so red?"

"I..." Li Duomi hurriedly lowered his head, hesitating, his eyes swept to the "Chinese" textbook he was holding in his hand, "I was too absorbed in reading the text just now, and was moved by the text."

"Li Duole, look at your younger brother, he was so moved that he cried after reading the text!" Mother Liu Fang turned her head to scold Li Duole again.

"You...you are going too far!" Li Duole finally couldn't take it anymore, walked away, and returned to his bedroom angrily.

【Mistake again and again】

A few days later, when they came home from school, Li Duole, Gu Xiaoxi, and Li Duomi got their test results on the same day.

Li Duole scored more than 80 points for the first time, Li Duomi just passed the test, and Gu Xiaoxi rarely failed the test, only scoring more than 70 points.Li Duole thought, now he can finally be rehabilitated with honor, the iron-like facts are in front of him, let's see what mom can say this time.

Mom routinely looked at the report cards of the three of them. Li Duole stood upright, next to Li Duomi and Gu Xiaoxi who were dejected.But contrary to Li Duomi's expectations, his mother didn't pat him on the shoulder and say "good job son", nor did she point at Gu Xiaoxi and Li Duomi's noses and scold "I've lost my mind".She just quietly put away the report card, and then went to prepare dinner.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and my mother specially made the braised pork that both Li Duole and Li Duomi loved, and the sweet and sour fish that Gu Xiaoxi loved.

Mom first picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish, put it in Gu Xiaoxi's bowl, and said kindly: "A mistake is nothing, who hasn't made a mistake?" Feeling even more guilty, he pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a far-fetched smile at his aunt.

Mom took another piece of braised pork, put it in Li Duomi's bowl, and said kindly: "As long as we work hard, it's enough, keep working hard!"

Li Duole was a little disappointed that he didn't see his mother's torrential criticism of them, but he still raised his chin at this moment, waiting for his mother's next praise to fall on him.But mother only put a piece of braised pork in his bowl, hesitated to say something, and swallowed it again.

"Mom, don't you want to say something to me?" Li Duole looked at her mother, proudly puffing out her chest.

"That... eat it while it's hot." Mom stammered, which really disappointed Li Duole.

After dinner, Gu Xiaoxi and Duomi went back to their rooms, but Li Duole was stopped by her mother.

"Duo Le, Mom wants to talk to you." Mom Liu Fang said.

They sat on the sofa face to face, Li Duole thought, maybe it was because his mother couldn't keep her face in front of Gu Xiaoxi and Li Duomi, so she left him alone to praise him.

My mother took his hand, put it in her hand, stroked it gently, and said to him: "Are your grades true? If you are true, you will work harder and strive for..."

As soon as mother Liu Fang spoke, Li Duole was dumbfounded, and he pulled his hand out of her mother's hand at once. "Mom! You can insult my IQ, but you can't insult my personality!" He said, tears came down, he turned and opened the door and ran out.

"Duo Le, Duo Le, listen to what my mother said..." Mother Liu Fang chased after her, but Li Duo Le ran downstairs as soon as she went out, and she was gone. How could Liu Fang catch up.But this time she also felt a little guilty. Could it be that she really blamed this child?But it was clear that he didn't study hard, and he was watching football and boxing there. Could it be true what he saw with his own eyes?Or is it because their exam questions are so easy this time, everyone else scored more than 90 points, and Duo Le didn't cheat at all?Liu Fang was confused, she thought, closed the door, and went to wash the dishes.

【Deception of eyes】

After a while, Li Duole pushed open the door with his father who had just come back from overtime, and he followed behind his father aggrieved.In the living room, Gu Xiaoxi and Li Duomi were sitting opposite her mother Liu Fang. They both lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes to their mother.

Originally, Gu Xiaoxi and Li Duomi thought that if they didn't get good grades in the exam, they would definitely be criticized by their mother like a storm when they got home, but what they got was her comfort like a spring breeze.Obviously it was because I didn't work hard enough and was lazy that I didn't get good grades in the exam, but I got my mother's understanding and encouragement.And all this made Li Duole, who had worked so hard once in a while, suffer unjust injustice... Finally, their young hearts could no longer bear such guilt, and they decided to confess to their mother.So, they told the ins and outs of all this in front of their mother.

My mother was terrified when she heard this, and dared to feel that she had done such a cruel thing. She personally pulled out the young buds that had just sprouted from Li Duole's heart, and she used a pot of cold water to cool her down. Seeing the hot blood in Li Duole's chest, she was extremely regretful.

Seeing Li Duole walking in pitifully, she felt even more uncomfortable.He walked over and wanted to hold Duo Le in his arms, but he broke free.

At this moment, father Li Tianming spoke up: "Just now, Duo Le has told me the ins and outs of the matter. I see, it is necessary to hold a family meeting." He said, put the briefcase on the sofa, and took it off. The coat, mother Liu Fang took the clothes and hung them on the wall.

Everyone sat around on the sofa.Dad said: "There is such a story. Confucius and his disciple Zimo traveled around the world. When they arrived at a dilapidated small temple, Confucius was tired and hungry, so he asked Zimo to get him something to eat. There was not much dry food. Zimo cooked a bowl of porridge for Confucius with the only little rice. When Zimo brought the porridge to Confucius, he found that the teacher had fallen asleep, so he took the porridge and prepared to return to the kitchen. At this time, Confucius woke up. It happened that Zimo was drinking the porridge in the bowl. Confucius thought that Zimo was stealing it, and felt very uncomfortable. After a while, Zimo saw that the teacher woke up, so he gave the porridge to Confucius. Confucius said: "This porridge It seems that someone has eaten it.” Zimo said: “Teacher, you fell asleep earlier. When I brought you the porridge, a speck of dust fell into the bowl. I was reluctant to throw it away, so I drank the dusty porridge. ’ Confucius said: I have wronged you! Sometimes the eyes can be deceiving.”

"It's all my fault. I blamed Li Duole. People say that seeing is believing, and sometimes what you see with your eyes is unreliable!" mother Liu Fang said repeatedly.

"Even what we see with our own eyes is unreliable, so what should we believe?" Li Duomi asked.

"Justice is in the hearts of the people. Li Duole's efforts will still be recognized in the end. It seems that you and Gu Xiaoxi will confess to your mother if you can't stand the condemnation of your conscience. So believe in yourself. Do you think so, Duole?" Dad finished speaking Ask Li Duole.

"If you want me to say... Hurry up and buy me my new sneakers... This is more realistic..." Li Duole showed his original shape as soon as he was rehabilitated.
