self-control scale

When school was over, several children in the class came over and asked Duchengyi if they would go to the newly opened barbecue restaurant next to the school to eat, and some wealthy locals would treat them.Du Chengyi politely refused, grabbed his schoolbag and ran out of the school gate.

There was wind on the soles of his feet, and his palms were a little sweaty, as if he was afraid of being caught doing something bad, he was very nervous.

Xu Chen didn't come to pick him up today, thinking that he lied that he would go to a classmate's house to make up lessons after school today.This kind of clumsy excuse could not fool Teacher Luo before, because he knew that he had no friends except Lin Xiaoyuan, but it was more than enough to deal with Uncle Xu.

He rushed into the mall in a flash, and silently read the few gift shops he remembered by heart several times.

Next month is Mr. Luo's birthday. He doesn't have much budget, but he wants to prepare a special gift.

There were people coming and going in the boutique, and the shopping guide saw him looking around the store in his school uniform and hearing aids, so he ran over and pretended to ask him what he wanted, and followed him enthusiastically.The child is a little irritable. He actually doesn't like to be stared at by others, and he doesn't like to speak in public, but he also knows that the shopping guide is afraid that he will not be able to compensate for the things in the store, and he can't do anything to him if he is a minor. , can only stare at.

Forget it, it's all about making a living, and it's not easy for anyone.

The innermost row of shelves is lined with tea sets, ranging from purple sand to bone china to glass cups.The child looked around carefully and left a little disappointed.

He walked too hastily when he squeezed out, and accidentally stepped on a girl's shoe. Just as he was about to apologize, the girl next door reached out and pushed him with a hand: "What are you doing! Do you have eyes!"

Du Chengyi didn't stand still and staggered backwards, bumping into the cabinet behind him, his back hurt so badly, the plush toys on the cabinet fell to the ground rustlingly.He pursed his mouth into a straight line, and squatted down to pick it up without saying a word.

He heard the shopping guide say: Forget it, sir, don't care about it like a deaf person.

The man was still chattering and cursing, Du Chengyi's fist was a little itchy, and he swung it in his face if he wanted to, the scene would definitely be a mess.The child took a deep breath, no, Uncle Luo said, if you hit someone, you won't be able to see him.

After cleaning up, Dudu clenched his fists tightly and left without looking back.

He walked very fast, from inside the store to outside the store, he could feel that many people were looking at him, curious and malicious.

But he didn't have time to worry about it, he just talked about gifts and gifts.

Later that day, he went to several shopping malls, but he couldn't find what he wanted. When he walked home disheartened, it was already dark.She was a little hungry, so Uncle Xu Chen sent her a message asking if he was home, and he replied with a guilty conscience "Yes".

The street lamp illuminated his shadow for a long, long time, moving slowly on the ground, the child suddenly felt very tired, his back was soaked in sweat and stuck to his skin, his chest was beating a little fast, his mouth was dry and his legs were numb. A little soft.

He sat down on the curb with his schoolbag in his arms, and started to be in a daze.Several groups of people came and went by the side of the road, and they all thought that he was lost with the adults, or that he had run away from home, so they kindly asked him if he wanted to call the police.

The child just shook his head without making a sound.Call the police, why call the police, no one at home answered the police.

Seeing that he was wearing a hearing aid, others thought he was born deaf-mute, unable to hear or speak, and shook his head regretfully, and the discussion dissipated after a while.

The child patted his pants and was about to stand up when he saw a set of beautiful tea sets in the window of a small shop across the street with sharp eyes. The blue and white clean background was covered with red plum blossoms. Looking at it from a distance It's like a few dazzling bright reds falling in the vast snow in winter.Unassuming, but good-looking.

The owner is just about to close the store by pulling the shutter door.Dudu rushed over in one stride, grabbing the shopkeeper's hand and really startled others.

"I want this! Trouble!"

The shopkeeper glanced at his hearing aid and school uniform, a little embarrassed: "But I'm closing the shop, how about this, you really want to come with your parents tomorrow."

In fact, this set of tea sets is not cheap, and it is his private possession to display in the window.When the tea set was fired, the plum blossoms on it were drawn by his teacher after traveling all the way. The quality is not at the same level as mass-produced ones on the assembly line.

So even if he sells it, he will sell it to someone who knows the goods.

He shook his head, and the child didn't let go of his hand.The boss was a little surprised. When he turned his head, he met a pair of stubborn eyes. They were shining and fierce. They were pretty good-looking, but the sweat was dripping from their foreheads.

"Sell!"

The boss sighed: "Not for sale, really not for sale."

The child stared at him for a long time, nodded, and then sat down on the threshold of his store to prevent the shutter door from being opened, which meant that I would not leave unless you sold me.

The boss almost rolled his eyes.

"Hey, I said you kid, will it be different if you come back tomorrow?"

"It's not the same!" Du Chengyi said loudly, thinking that God knows whether you will sell it tomorrow or not.

He let out a loud voice that could be heard ten miles away at night.The boss's head hurts: "Well, it's different. Let me ask you, do you have enough money? This set of things is very expensive, and you can't buy it just by saving a few pocket money every month."

When it came to money, Du Chengyi lowered his head and thought for a while, then hesitantly replied: "It should be enough!"

With big eyes and small eyes, the boss was so entangled by his stubborn appearance that he had no choice but to open the door and let him in.

"Okay, okay, I'll wrap it up for you, you have to be careful when you take it back later, this thing is tender, if you don't drop it, just knock it and it will be finished."

Du Chengyi nodded vigorously.

The boss helped him wrap it up, and asked one more question out of curiosity: "Who are you giving this to, kid? A classmate's birthday? A female classmate?"

The boss's soul of gossip is burning.

"No."

"Oh, it must be for the teacher."

Du Chengyi thought for a while, but he was right, so he nodded.

The image of this child in the eyes of the boss instantly "respects the teacher and respects the way", so he sighed, "There are not many children like you now", and waved him a [-]% discount.

The 1000% discount will cost more than [-], which is really expensive.

Du Chengyi stared at the basket of gift box wrapping paper in the corner, and remained silent for a long time, when the boss suddenly remembered that he was afraid that the kid didn't have that much money.He was still pondering in his head, for the sake of his sincere heart, should he give him another discount?

The child gritted his teeth, pointed to the wrapping paper and said, "I want plum blossoms."

"what?"

"The packaging also needs plum blossoms!"

The tea set is made of plum blossoms, and the wrapping paper should also be made of plum blossoms. It is estimated that their teacher has a soft spot for plum blossoms, so the boss readily agreed.

More than 300, the child didn't even frown when swiping the card, and the boss almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Be obedient, the pocket money of the child is quite considerable now.

Du Chengyi held the gift box in his heart and ran home happily all the way.

The tea set was very expensive, and he almost spent all the money he had saved for a long time.

In fact, half a year ago he was thinking about buying a decent birthday present for Luo Zijun.Although he usually has a lot of pocket money and New Year's money, the sum that Lao Luo gave him in the past few years totaled tens of thousands, not including the gifts from Xu Chen, Li Liang and other uncles during the holidays. Big red envelope, after all, he might be considered a rich second generation now.

But that was different, he had to spend his own money on what he wanted to give to Uncle Luo, this was the child's last stubbornness.

The ghost idea of ​​the money was given to him by Lin Xiaoyuan. Duchengyi has good grades, and parents who are approaching the senior high school entrance examination class are thinking about asking him to help their children with homework. It was free before, and he can use the big breaks or lunch breaks. The Daoti kid didn't care too much. Later, Lin Xiaoyuan drew a flyer for him with his bare hands, and it cost 20 yuan a day, calculated on the basis of head count. Suddenly, the business became very good.After half a year, I saved more than 2000.

It's just that he's really busy, sometimes he doesn't even have time to eat lunch, and after a few quick bites, the people behind him are still waiting in line.

He didn't let Uncle Luo know about it. He really didn't advocate doing business at school. If the teacher found out, he would be criticized. If Luo Zijun knew about it, he would be educated, and he might even write a review.Teacher Luo is not very strict with the children's living habits, but the conduct education is extremely strict.

But the child was happy, and he thought it was worth it. After traveling to so many houses and being busy for so long, the plum blossoms engraved on this tea set were particularly beautiful, and the shading was also light and simple. He had an intuition that Teacher Luo would like it.

As for why it is a plum blossom, the child's face is a little red when I think of it, it is because of the dream I had in the old house before, in which the young man named "Zhuang Baibu" pinned a plum blossom on "my" head.

then.

Then he kissed him himself.

Du Chengyi rubbed his lips with his fingertips unconsciously, and the touch of his lips and teeth in his dream seemed to be preserved till now.

The child glanced at the desk calendar and crossed out a day heavily on it.

Great, another day has passed, and it's one day closer to Uncle Luo's return.

He put away the gift box carefully, took out his phone and looked at it, but there was still no call or news, only the secret photos of someone sent by Lin Xiaoyuan every day after he returned to the United States bored on the lock screen, this wave of dog food made him too lazy to spread it Click to see.

Uncle Luo has been away for two days, and the dialogue between the two of them still stays on the night Luo Zijun left, probably because he finally couldn't hold back, Luo Zijun finally sent a voice message to the child before boarding the plane: Little things, wait for me to come back.The child replied with an expression of sitting down obediently, but did not receive any response the next day.

The child still didn't dare to send any more messages casually, fearing that Luo Zijun would be distracted and reply to him, so he just turned on this voice and listened to it over and over again.

But seeing that Luo Zijun really disappeared for two consecutive days without hearing from him, the child couldn't bear it any longer. He called early in the morning, and the other end showed that the phone was turned off. He thought it was because Luo Zijun's phone was dead, so he waited. One day, still no news.

Dial again, still shut down.

Now the capital is easily flustered, standing up and sitting down repeatedly, pinching the phone and not knowing who to ask.I heard that there is a winding road in the mountainous area, and that the environment and transportation in the mountainous area are inconvenient. His heart seemed to be dangling with a bowl of hot soup. Broken all over the place.

Luo Zijun's cell phone couldn't get through because it was broken and flooded.

When the bus entered the mountainous area yesterday, the mountains were continuous, the mountainside was tortuous, and the road was slippery in the rain. When the bus made a sharp turn downhill, it lost control of the direction and directly knocked over the isolation pier and fell into the ditch. Fortunately, there were only Ten meters away, only one of the teachers and staff in the car suffered a fracture, and the others suffered minor injuries.

At that time, Luo Zijun was leaning on the car, holding his mobile phone and still looking at the photos of the children in the photo album. Most of them were secretly taken by him at home before, cooking, sleeping, doing homework, happy, twisted, and He got angry when he was caught secretly taking pictures, wrinkled his nose and pursed his mouth, and asked him if the newly developed dishes were delicious while his face was full of disgust.

Luo Zijun rubbed the screen and tapped the child's beautiful forehead and nose.There are more than 3000 videos with tens of gigabytes all of him. The fruit machine also has a memory function, which can help you sort out the photos taken in years, months and dates. In the second year, there is also a "last year today "When flipping through the memories one by one, Luo Zijun seemed to retrace the growth trajectory of the children in these years, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

When he felt the car tilted, he stretched out his hand and hugged the back of the front seat tightly, watching the people around him who hadn't had time to hold on to it roll away.The pocket watch-like chain on Luo Zijun's neck that the child gave him earlier twisted and tried to slip out. He subconsciously grabbed the chain, but the phone flew out of the window directly, and the bus fragments were smashed to pieces at the scene.

Luo Zijun's brow bone hit the car window and suffered a little scratch, but everything else was fine.

When the rescue team came, there were a lot of glass shards scattered on the rugged road, as well as some luggage, mineral water and food debris.After being settled in a local school, Luo Zijun originally wanted to borrow a colleague's mobile phone to call Dudu, but he didn't expect that there was no signal at all in this mountainous area. After several calls, the dial failed. After asking, he found out that the only external contact here is The best way is the landline of the township government office.

Sitting in the cold staff dormitory, Luo Zijun pinched the pendant around his neck and let out a long sigh.

The moonlight tonight is too cold, from the Guanghan Palace to the heart.

Just as the child was restless, the doorbell rang.

There was a courier-looking boy standing outside, holding a bouquet of flowers, hesitantly looking at the card in his hand, and asked the child: "Mr....?"

Duchengyi:? ? ?

"Hello, this is Yipin Flower Shop. A gentleman named Luo Zijun ordered three months of flowers with us two days ago. One bouquet per week, and the variety will be rotated every month. Please sign for it."

The little brother is holding a bouquet of purple and yellow hyacinths in his hand, which is fresh and elegant and really beautiful.

When he was a child, Du Chengyi liked to read books. Popular science books were his favorite, so he was not unfamiliar with the flower language of all kinds of flowers. The purple color of hyacinth represents apology, and the yellow color represents love.

The child's heart moved, his eyelashes fluttered, and he suddenly asked the clerk in a low voice: "What are the flowers for next month?"

The clerk flipped through the records and said, "May is peony, and June is... valentine grass...."

He handed over another card, saying that Mr. Luo asked him to give it to him.

The card reads: I will come back when the valentine's grass is full.

Peonies, blooming in May, flower language, have a special liking.

Valentine's grass, June flowers bloom, flower language, eternal love.
