self-control scale

It was overcast outside, and it was still raining lightly.

In the office of the teaching and research group, a group of teachers were discussing about their own children. A son in the family was in the fifth grade. He was tossing homework until midnight every day. Parents are ashamed to admit that they are university teachers when they are called to school by teachers.

Someone on the other side echoed: "Yeah, isn't my daughter the same? Who says girls don't have to worry? Come back every day to do homework and bargain, thinking that you're buying vegetables at the market, and watching TV for half an hour..."

Luo Zijun usually does not participate in this kind of topic. He drank his tea and stared out of the window in a daze, with chaotic and illogical thoughts running from one end to the other in his head: I can get off work in more than an hour, kid In the morning, I should have brought an umbrella to school. The child said that he would make curry beef tonight. The child seems to be wearing a little less clothes today...

A colleague called him several times, but Mr. Luo didn't hear him. He didn't come back to his senses until someone ran up to him and shook his hands.

"what?"

"Mr. Luo, I heard that your family also has a child from a relative's family, right?"

"Ah yes, but it's small."

"Boys and girls?"

"boy."

Luo Zijun showed them the photos on his mobile phone, "Kang Kuang" more than 2000 photos were all from Duchengyi.The child has been with Luo Zijun for more than three years. From a white, sweet glutinous rice dumpling to the present, the child's skeleton has taken shape, and he doesn't like to take pictures facing the camera as he did when he was a child, so the recent ones are almost They were all secretly photographed by Luo Zijun, including those who were cooking, those who were asleep, those who just woke up, those whose hair was still wet after taking a shower, etc., back and side views.

Mr. Luo took the photos very carefully, and they are very beautiful.

Several female teachers shouted enviously: "Ah, this child is so cute!"

Luo Zijun raised his eyebrows: "That is, not only cute, but also good-natured and good at studying, I never worry about it."

Everyone was so envious. While sighing, a teacher patted Luo Zijun on the shoulder: "But Teacher Luo is a man who takes care of the children very hard. He also has to wash clothes and cook."

Luo Zijun felt a little hungry. He dug out the apple that had been stuffed in the bag early in the morning, and said confidently while chewing: "Housework? I don't do it, he does it."

"……Cooking?"

"He does it all."

The whole office fell silent.

Seeing that it was almost time, Mr. Luo stepped on the spot and whistled to get off work.

After entering the fourth grade, Duchengyi's get out of class end time is much later than usual, and it is irregular. Occasionally, he can only leave when it gets dark because he is a student on duty.The child felt that he couldn’t always bother Uncle Luo to change classes, so he refused Luo Zijun’s request to pick him up and drop him off, and walked home every day. Fortunately, his home was very close to the school, and the total distance was about ten minutes. People come and go, basically there is no danger.

Luo Zijun thought that the boy should indeed exercise his sense of independence, so he let him go.

It was raining today, and most of the students in the class were picked up by their parents.Duchengyi took out the garbage, washed his hands, and was just about to go back with his schoolbag on his back, when he saw a man sitting under the building—huddled up in a corner with his knees in his arms.

It was Lin Xiaoyuan.

Yes, it was Lin Xiaoyuan who testified for him after ignoring him.

In the past two years, Lin Xiaoyuan and Du Chengyi had almost no intersection, because they were not the same kind of people.Lin Xiaoyuan's family is very rich, so before, there were always so many cronies around him, rainbow farts flying all over the sky, coaxing Lin Xiaoyuan to be happy, so he took them to eat delicious food and play fun, one day he was not happy, Just find someone to scold or scold, and no one will retaliate. After all, it is more important to have food and drink.Those people complacently followed Lin Xiaoyuan, pretending to be arrogant, as if they were the ones who were so rich.

Later, because Lin Xiaoyuan helped Du Chengyi testify about Zhang Yang entering the women's toilet, Zhang Yang held a grudge.Unable to take revenge on Du Chengyi, he must find someone else to vent his anger on, and Lin Xiaoyuan is the best target.

Because Zhang Yang and Lin Xiaoyuan live in the same community, and they both know about the back and forth between their families, so Zhang Yang adds fuel to the story and spreads rumors about Lin Xiaoyuan everywhere, saying that his parents are getting divorced, fighting every day, and his father will beat him when his mother is done. , now his mother is not coming back, so Lin Xiaoyuan is a child that his mother doesn't want.

At this time, Lin Xiaoyuan's original group of little followers all rushed to the side and watched him in a crowd. No one stood up and said a word for him, and even many people laughed at him every day with Zhang Yang.

Why?Because Zhang Yang can also take them to eat, drink and have fun, and even give them toys, it is so realistic.

Today during the break between classes, someone took advantage of Lin Xiaoyuan's use of the bathroom to spread mint-flavored toothpaste into his sandwich biscuits, and then smeared glue all over his chair.

Lin Xiaoyuan didn't say a word, silently threw the biscuit away, and then took the rag to wipe the chair.

Du Chengyi saw all these things in his eyes. Originally, he didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but to Lin Xiaoyuan, he always felt that he owed him once. Their teacher Luo said that if you owe someone, you have to pay it back.

So he took out an umbrella and handed it over.

Lin Xiaoyuan glanced at Du Chengyi and said, "I'm not going home."

Du Chengyi didn't move, and didn't take back the hand that passed the umbrella. Lin Xiaoyuan thought he didn't understand, so she said again: "My parents are really going to divorce, I don't want to go back."

Du Chengyi nodded, then stared at him seriously and asked, "Will you go to my house?"

Du Chengyi felt that he had hardly spoken to Lin Xiaoyuan in the past three years or so, but now that he invited others to play, he was considered a friend, and a friend should introduce himself formally, so he pressed Seeing how Luo Zijun usually gets along with people, he stretched out his hand to Lin Xiaoyuan: "Hi, my name is Ducheng Yi. Nice to meet you."

Lin Xiaoyuan opened her mouth wide.

The hands stretched out to him were slender and fair, and the man pursed his lips when he greeted him, revealing his beautiful dimples. At this moment, at this minute, at this second, Du Chengyi will be there for the rest of his life in the decades to come. It is deeply imprinted in Lin Xiaoyuan's memory, and it will never be forgotten.

So he held those hands back: "Okay."

Du Chengyi walked home slowly with Lin Xiaoyuan, the two held an umbrella, and Lin Xiaoyuan pushed the umbrella towards Du Chengyi boldly: "It's fine, I'm in good health!"

Boys of this age bouncing and bouncing after class together will inevitably have some chemical reactions. One of them ran into the puddle twice and the other was a little eager to try.

Lin Xiaoyuan said, "Hurry up, step on it twice."

Du Chengyi looked at his shoes with a frown, and put down the raised foot embarrassingly.

Lin Xiaoyuan curled her lips: "It's boring."

Du Chengyi said: "Forget it, let's go, I want to buy vegetables."

"What?!" Lin Xiaoyuan probably thought she heard it wrong.

"Buy groceries."

Today's supermarket has a half-price discount for beef, but the places are limited, and they start to grab at regular intervals. Douchengyi runs fast while pulling Lin Xiaoyuan, and Lin Xiaoyuan follows behind, panting.

"You...you don't pull it...you...you can cook?"

Du Chengyi ran ahead without changing his face: "If I don't do it, someone will starve to death."

When he arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, student Lin Xiaoyuan's eyes were darkened and he still hadn't caught his breath. Then he saw that there were crowds of old men and women queuing up and waiting for the opening.

Lin Xiaoyuan almost recited it, and he asked Du Chengyi in distress: "How much cheaper is their beef? I'll give it to you in cash, so we don't squeeze it, okay?"

Du Chengyi shook his head: "No, no money."

"But... how did you beat them?!" Although Lin Xiaoyuan is small, she still has common sense not to snatch discounted goods from fierce grandparents.

Du Chengyi blinked at him, then suddenly changed his expression.

He pretended to be cautious, and at the same time found a grandma to tug at the corners of other people's clothes: "Grandma... grandma... the discounted meat is here, is it here?"

Du Chengyi's tearful and frightened appearance attracted the sympathy of a large group of middle-aged and elderly people. They asked him why he came shopping alone, and the adults in his family.

Du Chengyi had a blank expression, but secretly poked Lin Xiaoyuan with his hand.

Classmate Lin Xiaoyuan was very witty, pointing to the hearing aid hanging behind Du Chengyi's head, he said, "My brother and I are here together. Mom and Dad have to go to work, and my brother buys vegetables and goes back to cook, but he can't hear..."

So everyone expressed their embarrassment at the young age of the "brothers", who had to support the family by themselves. Several grandparents even volunteered to help them grab discounted products.

"It's so pitiful that such a child has to go out to work..."

"Come on you two, come ahead of grandma"

Du Chengyi pursed his lips and smiled: "Thank you."

Student Lin Xiaoyuan suddenly wanted to kneel down and call him big brother.

When Du Chengyi brought Lin Xiaoyuan into the door, he saw clothes and pants all over the floor, and took them off all the way to the living room. If he hadn't been used to it every day, he would have been scared to death by this scene right now.

On the sofa, there were two long, smooth legs, with well-proportioned and tight muscles, and a book covered her face, making a soft sound of sleeping.

Lin Xiaoyuan rubbed her nose in embarrassment, Du Chengyi calmly dragged a blanket from the bedroom, and covered Luo Zijun.

The snoring stopped.

"Little kid knows how to be shy." A lazy bass came from under the book.

"Hello, Uncle." Lin Xiaoyuan greeted obediently, and Luo Zijun was so frightened that he threw the book away, wanted to stand up, hesitated for a few seconds, and then gave up.

Du Chengyi dragged Lin Xiaoyuan to his room: "Put on pants."

Du Chengyi's room was very clean, and there was a unique smell of milk. He generously opened up his two big boxes of toys for Lin Xiaoyuan to play with. There were many limited edition suits and the latest assembled models. Lin Xiaoyuan stared straight at them. up.

"You have so many toys, your uncle is so kind to you."

The boy showed sincere envy.

Du Chengyi let out a "huh" and drew a nice arc at the corner of his mouth.A little proud, but also a little happy.

The two of them took out their homework and started to work on the questions. Lin Xiaoyuan's grades were mediocre, and she drifted off to the box of toys next to her without writing a word.

He glanced at Du Chengyi, who was hard at writing, with a flattering smile on his face: "Hey, that, Dudu, can you borrow me to copy your homework?"

"No."

"Actually, I will do it. I will just...be lazy once. You can borrow me, just once! I promise to finish it by myself next time."

Du Chengyi ignored him, so Lin Xiaoyuan shook his hand vigorously to see if it didn't work, and she wanted to throw herself on his shoulder to play tricks.

Dudu sighed, and just about to reason with him, Luo Zijun's voice came in leisurely from the door: "Do your own homework, if you dare to copy it, I'll tell your teacher."

For the fourth-grade children, this kind of threat is obviously very useful. In addition, Luo Zijun is almost 1.9 meters tall. There was indeed such a sense of calmness and prestige, Lin Xiaoyuan's back was so frightened that her back was stiff, and her fingers holding the pencil turned white.

Duchengyi didn't respond at all. While brushing and writing the questions, he said without raising his head, "Are you hungry? It will be ready soon."

Luo Zijun gave a vague "hmm" and touched his nose a little guilty.

The child probably thought he was hungry, but in fact he had been wandering outside the door for quite a while just now.

Ever since Lin Xiaoyuan entered the door, Teacher Luo has been muttering in his heart.Isn't this kid at odds with the one in my family before? Why is the relationship so good all of a sudden? !Even brought it home!On second thought, at Du Chengyi's age, it is indeed time to have friends. People of the same age are easier to talk to than with my uncle.

Thinking of this, Luo Zijun felt sour in his heart, like fermented bubbles puffing up.

He couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran to the child's door and dangled around.But Du Chengyi thought he was hungry.

Lin Xiaoyuan looked at Luo Zijun with complicated eyes.

This uncle is a bit lazy, this uncle is very greedy, and this uncle also exploits child labor.

Luo Zijun opened his mouth, feeling that he would not be able to wash himself clean by jumping into the Yellow River.

Duchengyi drove at three times the speed, quickly finished the homework, packed the schoolbag, rolled up the sleeves and plunged into the kitchen.

He asked Lin Xiaoyuan: "Is there anything I don't want to eat?"

Lin Xiaoyuan shook her head.

Luo Zijun leaned over and walked around Duchengyi like a big dog: "Are you tired, little one?"

"Not tired."

"Would you like some water?"

"No, you're blocking the way."

"Little thing, you..."

Du Chengyi put down the pot and looked up at his Uncle Luo: "If you don't cook, you go out."

Luo Zijun was kicked out of the kitchen with a face full of grievances, and Lin Xiaoyuan, who was playing with Iron Man in front of the sofa with his buttocks pouted, stared at him in the living room.

Teacher Luo decided to give full play to the demeanor that an adult should have: "You go back so late, don't you need to call home?"

"No, my parents aren't here."

"Ah, what do you usually do for dinner?"

"There is a nanny."

"Oh."

Teacher Luo sat down and stood up, stood up and sat down again, he felt that he had chatted to death.

Why is it so hard to have kids.

Lin Xiaoyuan suddenly said while playing, "Uncle, you and Dudu have a really good relationship."

Luo Zijun smiled: "Then you are welcome to come and play often."

Yes, this is what an adult should look like.

Du Chengyi held a plate at the door of the kitchen with a cold face: "Uncle, serve the dishes."
