Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Qin Huairu hugged the stick tightly, tears streaming down her face.

All this was because she did not give her son enough care and education.

No matter what, Banggeng must be made to understand that if he does something wrong, he must bear the consequences and must not make the same mistake again.

Just then, there was a noise in the yard.

As soon as Chen Fei and He Yushui returned, they saw many neighbors gathered in the yard, holding sticks, as if they were going to catch a thief.

Could it be that the Banggeng secret has been discovered?

He hurriedly pulled He Yushui into the house, only to see Qin Huairu and Banggeng sitting on the ground, with the surroundings in a mess.

There was blood oozing from Bang Geng's arm, and Qin Huairu's face was covered with tears.

Upon seeing this, Fade Chen immediately understood about 70% of the situation.

He walked up to her and asked with concern, "What happened? How did Banggen get hurt?"

Qin Huairu raised her head and saw Chen Fei and He Yushui. She didn't want them to know that Bang Geng had stolen, and she didn't want them to see Bang Geng's current state.

However, what had happened could not be concealed.

So she told Chen Fei and He Yushui the whole story.

I didn't expect Bang Geng to do such a thing, and I didn't expect Qin Huairu to indulge her son so much.

But he also understood that the most important thing now was to make Bang Geng realize his mistakes and bear the consequences.

He walked up to Bang Geng, squatted down, and looked him straight in the eye: "Bang Geng, do you know where you went wrong?"

Bang Geng nodded and whispered, "You shouldn't steal."

Chen Fei patted his shoulder and said, "It is a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them. But you must remember that you must bear the consequences of your mistakes. From today on, you have to help with housework at my house until you pay back the New Year's goods you stole."

"I will, Uncle Chen."

Chen Fei's words were like a wake-up call, which made Bang Geng completely sober up.

You can no longer escape and must face your mistakes bravely.

Qin Huairu looked at her son's bruised face and felt filled with guilt and self-blame.

I thought that my indulgence and pampering of Bang Geng led him down this wrong path.

In the yard, the neighbors' discussions were heard one after another.

They criticized Banggeng's behavior and sympathized with Qin Huairu's experience.

Listening to these discussions, Qin Huairu felt ashamed.

At this time, Fade Chen stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. Banggeng's behavior is indeed wrong, but he is a child and he still has a chance to correct his mistakes. As neighbors, we should give him a chance to reform instead of blindly blaming and mocking him."

Qin Huairu's face became paler and paler, her heart was in a mess. On the one hand, she was worried about Bang Geng's injury, and on the other hand, she was afraid of everyone's accusations.

"Bang Geng is still young and naive, that's why he did such a thing. He already knows he was wrong, I will teach him a lesson."

Chen Fei frowned, looked at Qin Huairu, and said in a deep voice: "As a mother, shouldn't you be responsible for Banggeng's behavior? He stole things and got hurt because of it, all because you didn't educate him well."

She was right, it was her indulgence and doting on Bang Geng that led him down this wrong path.

She lowered her head, tears falling again: "I was wrong, I will teach Banggeng a lesson. Please believe me, I won't let him do such a thing again."

To be honest, it is not easy for Qin Huairu to raise Banggeng alone, but that does not mean she can condone the child's wrong behavior.

"I hope you can remember what happened today and educate Bang Geng well. I will also help watch him and help him correct his mistakes. However, if it happens again next time, I won't be so polite."

"Thank you. I know what to do now."

At this time, the neighbors in the yard also began to express their opinions.

Some people expressed their understanding of Qin Huairu's difficulties, while others suggested that Bang Geng should be given a stricter education.

From today on, she will start educating Banggeng again and make him into a sensible and responsible child.

Chen Fei stared at Qin Huairu sharply and said, "Do you know what's wrong with your parenting style? It's because you were too indulgent that Bang Geng went down this path. His mistakes today are all because you didn't discipline him properly."

Qin Huairu's face turned pale and blue. Chen Fei was right, but she also had her own difficulties: "You are right, I didn't educate him well. But Banggeng is still a child after all. Can you give him a chance to reform?"

"Chance? He has already stolen something and got hurt. This is the result of his own actions. If he can't pay the price for this, how can he restrain himself in the future?"

"So what do you want? Do you really want to send him to dig coal? He's still so young, how can he endure that kind of hardship?"

"What's wrong with mining coal? This is the price he should pay for his mistakes. If he can't even bear this little hardship, how can he gain a foothold in society in the future?"

The neighbors in the yard also began to talk about it. Some thought that what Chen Fei said made sense, while others thought that such a punishment was too harsh.

At this moment, Sha Zhu came over and patted Fade Chen on the shoulder: "I understand how you feel, but Bang Geng is still a child after all. How can he bear the work of coal mining? I think it's better to punish him in a different way."

"Then tell me, what's the alternative?"

"Why not let him move bricks and stones? That way he will be punished without being too harsh. What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say. But I want to tell you, if it happens again next time, I won't be so polite."

"I..." Qin Huairu tried to speak, but found that her throat was choked and she couldn't speak.

"It's not easy for you, but Bang Terrier's mistakes can't be forgiven so easily. He needs to pay the price for his actions so that he can truly grow."

Qin Huairu nodded, tears welling up in her eyes: "I will supervise him to complete the punishment well."

The next morning, Banggeng got up early and started his work of cleaning up the manure.

Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu stood in the distance, watching him silently.

Every time Banggeng was about to fall into the pit, Qin Huairu's heart was in her throat, but she forced herself not to go forward to help.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's worried expression and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Banggeng is a smart child and will slowly learn to take responsibility."

"It's because I didn't educate him well that he ended up like this."

"It's not all your fault. Bangteng has his own problems. But the important thing now is for him to recognize his mistakes and learn to correct them."

The two of them just stood there, watching Banggeng cleaning up the manure water with a winnowing basket.

Although the process was difficult, Banggeng's eyes became more and more determined.

This is the price he paid for his mistakes, and it is also the only way for him to grow.

There was a sudden knock at the door of the yard.
