Zhao Xue came to the bedroom with a full bowl of rice, put the rice bowl on the table and took the cigarettes from her husband. Whenever her husband was troubled, he would smoke.

"It's normal for children to say wrong things. Don't be angry." Zhao Xueyan put out her cigarette in the ashtray and opened the doors and windows to ventilate the room.

"Maybe I've gone too far." Xue Ming originally hated politics, but he didn't expect his younger brother to bring politics home.

"Send the rice to your brother. A child can't survive without eating." Zhao Xue picked up the rice bowl and placed it in front of her husband.

Xue Ming nodded and came to his brother's room. Xue Min was doing homework at his mother's place. Xue Qing, who was facing the wall and thinking about his thoughts, still stood at attention.

Looking at his back, Xue Ming suddenly realized that his younger brother had grown up. He was exactly ten years old this year and had his own thoughts and temper. He was no longer the little brat with a snot nose who followed him behind and called him big brother. .

Xue Ming felt a little emotional. In recent years, he has been busy with work and relationships, and it has been a long time since he had a heart-to-heart talk with his three children.

He put down the rice bowl, fetched a basin of warm water and brought it over, rubbed his hair and said softly, "Wash your hands and face and eat."

Xue Qing's face was covered with tears, and he couldn't help crying again, "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made you angry."

"There's no need to tell me you're sorry. Let's eat quickly." Xue Ming felt bad. It's not enough to educate children with only corporal punishment and no communication.

Xue washed his hands and sat down to eat. His stomach was already growling with hunger, and he wolfed down his rice bowl.

"Your sister-in-law said that No. 1 Middle School also promotes hardship and simplicity. How does your school promote it?" Xue Ming tried to communicate with his brother.

"The principal told many stories of hardship and simplicity. He also said that in the future, meat will no longer be eaten in the school cafeteria, and the limited meat should be given to the working people who are fighting for the motherland." Xue Qing replied in a low voice.

"Good guy, your principal's sentiments are really noble." Xue Ming didn't know how to answer, but can the working people eat the meat given away by the school?

"The principal also asked us to lead by example and urge our families to carry forward the spirit of hard work, so when we were eating just now..." At this point, Xue Qing lowered his head again.

"I am a transporter, your sister-in-law is a teacher, my mother and your eldest sister are salespersons, and our family is all working people." Xue Ming felt that the principal was either stupid or bad.

Xue Qing looked up at his elder brother, confusion gradually appeared on his face, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Your principal is not a saint, and what he says is not the truth. There is no absolute truth in this world." Xue Ming said gently.

Xue Qing's face became even more confused, and he didn't really agree with his elder brother's words, but he couldn't refute it.

"You are still young, and there are some things you don't understand. When you are a person, you must use morality to distinguish your stance, and don't use your stance to differentiate morality. When you understand what I say, you will truly grow up."

Xue Ming didn't want to talk about any more big principles. He had already talked about enough principles today. He got up and went to the kitchen with his empty rice bowl.

Xue Qing couldn't understand what his elder brother said. He thought hard for a long time and still couldn't understand it, so he lay on the desk in a daze.

At this time Liu Yue'e came in. When Xue Qing heard the noise, he stood up and asked her to sit down. He moved a small stool and sat in front of his mother.

"San'er, your eldest brother is scolding you for your own good. You can't blame him in your heart. Without him, our family would have broken up a long time ago." Liu Yue'e was most afraid of her brothers' jealousy in her life.

"Mom, what are you talking about? How can I blame everyone? I'm not blind. I can see his hard work." Xue Qing shook his head repeatedly.

"You have to listen to your elder brother from now on. He will never harm you no matter what. Children, please remember my words." Liu Yue'e finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I admitted my mistake to my brother just now. You should go back to the room and rest. I have to do my homework." Xue Qing opened his schoolbag and took out his homework book, pretending to be doing his homework.

Liu Yue'e had no choice but to leave. Xue Qing, the child, had been smart since he was a child, but his younger son Xue Min was much duller. It would be great if Xue Qing was as dull as his younger brother.

Then Liu Yue'e went to Xue Ming's room to talk about the truth. The brothers had conflicts and the mother had to be caught in the middle.

Xue Ming smiled and listened to his explanation. Zhao Xue decided to change the topic, "Today when we went to school to pick up our younger brother, we met a shrew, which made us feel bad."

Then Zhao Xue told how the naughty child kicked the bicycle. After listening to this, Liu Yuee couldn't help but curse, "The naughty child is really uneducated, and that bitch is not a good person either."

"Yes, so my husband is not in a good mood. My brother said something wrong and made my husband angry." Zhao Xue forcefully explained the reason why her husband scolded his brother-in-law.

Xue Ming thought it was a bit funny, but Liu Yue'e believed her daughter-in-law's words, and she felt relaxed immediately, and then scolded the mother and son for being nothing.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Xue Ming opened the door and saw Zuo Changzheng. The old Zuotou was actually wearing a patched green military uniform, with fur on the collar.

"Someone from the Transportation Bureau just informed us to go over for a meeting. Please quickly change into your rags and follow me." Zuo Changzheng said slightly anxiously.

"Change into rags?" Xue Ming was a little confused. What kind of rags would he change into when he went to the Transportation Bureau for a meeting?

"Yes, the more tattered the clothes, the better. Xiaoxue, hurry up and find tattered clothes for my brother." Zuo Changzheng said and looked at his watch again.

Zhao Xue hurriedly opened the closet and turned to her husband two minutes later, "Where is the shabby coat you wore when hunting in Zhao Village?"

"Is it the military green coat? I took it apart to make the soles a few days ago. There are too many patches on that dress and I can't wear it." Liu Yue'e said weakly.

The only coats left in the closet were two Chinese tunic suits and one suit, both of which were clean and without any patches.

"It's too late. Brother, hurry up and follow me to the Transportation Bureau for a meeting." Zuo Changzheng said and looked at his watch again.

Xue Ming pushed the bicycle out and left with him. The two brothers speeded up to the Transportation Bureau. When they approached the entrance of the Transportation Bureau, Xue Ming asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I don't know either. Xiao Li, who informed us of the meeting, specifically told us to wear tattered clothes. The tattered the better." Zuo Changzheng shook his head.

"Which pit did you get these shabby clothes from? I don't think I've ever seen you wear them before?" Xue Ming stared at his beggar's outfit with interest.

"This is the military uniform I wore when I was discharged from the army. She may be older than your sister." Zuo Changzheng burst into laughter.

"Good guy, I'm convinced." Xue Mingxin said, "Brother, you're so skinny, why don't you take out your crotchless pants."

The two brothers locked up their bicycles and hurried to the Transportation Bureau conference room. The conference room was full of people, including Director Cao Baoshan. Everyone was wearing shabby and old clothes.

So Xue Ming, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, became the most handsome guy in the room. Everyone looked at him with strange eyes, and Xue Ming suddenly realized that something might be going wrong.
