sleepless tonight

Chapter 173 Lipsticks
Tong Wangjun's tone of voice is very heavy, sometimes ordinary words feel like arguing with others, which makes people feel very depressed.

I didn't say anything else, but called Chen Ke to play in front of the piano.

The pink piano was placed by the window of the house, and a stool was sent along with the piano. I moved the stool to the front of the piano, and Chen Ke sat on it, put his hands on it and played for a while.

I don't have much musical talent, and I don't have any talent in this area. I usually go to KTV with my classmates and just yell a few words. I can't hear good or bad, but seeing Chen Ke happily touching the piano keys, I feel very satisfied.

A few months ago, I couldn't even provide Chen Ke with a bowl of rice. After school, she went to the vegetable market to pick up vegetable leaves picked by others to cook.

Chen Ke is only eight years old, but she is already very sensible. She helps with washing dishes and cooking, never asks me for anything, and goes to and from school alone.

But her maturity and sensibleness make me feel guilty. I haven't fulfilled my responsibility as a father. I would rather Chen Ke be like an ordinary child of this age who doesn't care about housework, and I don't want to see her move a small bench sensible Stand in front of the stove and wash the dishes.

It sounds like a compliment for a child from a poor family to be in charge early, but how many people know the sadness contained in it.

Premature maturity is sometimes not a good thing.

Now seeing Chen Ke sitting in front of the piano happily touching the keys, I feel that I have fulfilled my responsibility as a father, and the guilt in my heart has been filled.

"Father, I forgot the piece, go and get the score for me." Chen Ke suddenly looked back at me.

"Where?" I asked her, happy to run errands for my daughter.

"In the schoolbag." Chen Ke said.

Chen Le ran to Chen Ke's side, and her feet wanted to touch the piano keys, but she was still a little short. She screamed anxiously, and kept pulling on Chen Ke's clothes. She couldn't touch the piano keys and didn't want Chen Ke to touch them. .

I took Chen Ke's schoolbag, and I rummaged through it, and saw the music score. I paused when I took it out, and saw something at the bottom of the schoolbag, and picked it up with some doubts.

"Did you put this lipstick in Ake's schoolbag?" The thing I took out from Chen Ke's schoolbag was lipstick. I asked Tong Wangjun, thinking that Tong Wangjun had left it in Chen Ke's schoolbag.

"It's not mine. I don't have such a lipstick." Tong Wangjun glanced at it and shook his head.

I walked up to Chen Ke, handed her the sheet music, and put the lipstick in front of her eyes: "A Ke, what's the matter with this lipstick, why is there lipstick in your schoolbag?"

"It was given by someone else." Chen Ke flipped through the music score and said something nonchalantly.

"Who sent it?" I was a little annoyed.

Chen Ke is only eight years old, whoever will give her lipstick, and giving lipstick to a girl for no reason is not pure in itself.

Children are young, but it doesn't mean they don't know anything. Some children are very precocious, but they can do things that make adults feel ashamed.

"Students in the class, Dad, put your lipstick in your schoolbag and don't touch my things." Chen Ke was a little dissatisfied that I was holding her lipstick, and seemed to understand some concepts of privacy.

I opened the lipstick and found that I used some: "Have you used this lipstick?"

"En." Chen Ke nodded.

The piano key was pressed, and the music sounded, but this time I didn't feel pleasant, but felt a little harsh, and I was very depressed. In the end, I took the score directly from the piano: "Ake, you are only eight years old, these Things can't be used. Also, how did I tell you before, don't accept other people's gifts casually, have you listened to Dad? "

"But this is a gift from someone else, why can't I take it?" Chen Ke talked back to me, reaching out to take the lipstick from my hand.

"I said, if you can't have it, you can't have it." I scolded, my voice was a little loud, with reproach.

I was very annoyed, Chen Ke was not as obedient as before: "If you take other people's things casually, Dad will beat you, do you know that?"

"I hate you, don't bother with you." Chen Ke turned and entered the room.

I don't know if she listened to my words, but the anger in her heart did not calm down, and she said to Tong Wangjun, "This is the aristocratic school you mentioned, and it looks like this? At such a young age, someone gave her lipstick, please be careful." The children are all taken away."

I blame Tong Wangjun a little bit, thinking that Chen Ke’s bad habits must have been picked up after entering the noble school, and he has become like this after only a few months, accepting other people’s lipstick, are the children in it all precocious? ?

After a long time, what kind of things may happen, I am very worried.

"Don't make a fuss, it's just a gift." Tong Wangjun's words made me feel even more chilled.

I was very dissatisfied with her answer: "What do you mean it's just a gift? It's a lipstick. Ah Ke is only eight years old. You don't know. Is there anyone who gives gifts at this age?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. You haven't been to a noble school and you don't know what's going on inside, so don't make such a fuss. Not to mention lipstick, watches, cosmetics, and bags are all given away." Tong Wangjun said, "Give them away in a noble school." These things are normal, if noble schools are really as bad as you say, why are there so many people thinking of ways to send their children there?"

"Is this normal?" I couldn't understand, "I don't care what others do, I just care about A Ke."

"What you haven't seen doesn't mean it's abnormal. It's just an eight-year-old child. You think too much. Besides, the education method of aristocratic schools is different from that of ordinary schools. It encourages social interaction and encourages children to get in touch with new things. People of the same age should be more mature, and it’s not a big deal to give lipstick as a gift.” Tong Wangjun argued with me, implying that the aristocratic schools are superior to others, and everything that happens is normal.

I'm worried that Chen Ke will be corrupted. No matter how good the education in the noble school is and how modern the education methods are, I don't want Chen Ke to become like that.

"Next year, you don't want A Ke to go to a noble school anymore. I'll take her to an ordinary school." I told Tong Wangjun directly.

"Why are you so pedantic? If the aristocratic school is not good, can the tuition be so high? In the aristocratic school, it can broaden the child's horizons, let her see more new things, and make her mature earlier. What's wrong with that? Yes, don't you think that A Ke is like you and me, who has no other skills but only some knowledge from books?" Tong Wangjun disagreed with me.

"If you want to paint, sing, or dance, you can take training courses. You don't have to go to a noble school. This matter is settled like this. You don't need to pay her tuition next year. Even if you do, it will be for nothing. I will let her go to a noble school again." I made up my mind that the child cannot be handed over to Tong Wangjun.

I don't want Chen Ke to become a person who pursues luxury and enjoyment. This trend has already happened, and I must stop it.

The doorbell rang, someone was outside, Tong Wangjun went to open the door, it was Xu Heng.

"Why, you two are fighting again?" Xu Heng looked at me, then at Tong Wangjun, and said lightly with a smile.

I glanced at him, wondering why he came here.

"The piano is over there, take a look to see if there is any problem." Tong Wangjun pointed to the piano by the window.

Xu Heng walked over and checked the piano. I watched from the corner of my eye. Although I don't know what he is doing, judging from his strolling in the courtyard, he seems to be very familiar with the piano. There are rules to follow.

Tong Wangjun stood beside him, watching seriously.

"No problem, this brand of piano is not bad." Xu Heng clapped his hands, "But the price is a bit high, if we talk about it, it should be 3000 or [-] yuan cheaper, you are cheated. "

Tong Wangjun looked at me: "I told you a long time ago that the boss's words cannot be believed, and you paid the money so early."

"I'm not a professional, how can I bargain with him." I was a little annoyed, "I've negotiated a lot of money."

"This has nothing to do with being professional or not. There is more than one store of this brand in Wuchang. You can definitely get a cheaper one if you shop around. You bought it in a hurry. If you visit two more stores, you can definitely talk about it. Not to mention two or three thousand, but one or two thousand is not a big problem." Xu Heng said with a smile, and then looked up at Tong Wangjun, "But I have already bought everything, so let's just spend two to three thousand yuan. Money bought a lesson, be careful when you buy similar things in the future, and don’t be fooled by others.”
