Chapter 207: Ordinary Growth History ①
Pingping knew from a young age that her mother was completely different from other mothers.
When they were little, they went to school at the gate of kindergarten.
Those parents would always tell their children to study hard and work hard so that they can get into a good university and find a good job in the future.
Although Pingping had no idea what college was at that time, he looked at his mother for the answer.
At that time, Ms. Tao Jin squatted in front of him and his sister and spoke to them.
“When you go to kindergarten, you should eat more. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand what the teacher is saying.
I can’t starve myself, I paid for it so I can eat as much as I want.”
Although Pingping didn't think he was a big eater, he nodded affirmatively when he heard his mother's words.
At that time, he had planted an idea in his heart that he must not treat himself badly no matter what.
Later, when Pingping was in elementary school, something happened in their class.
At that time, they were in elementary school and their classmates all came from well-off families.
But he still remembers his deskmate at that time.
They all called him Big-Eared Monkey because although he was thin, he had a very big head.
He had a shaved head and big ears, so they called him Big-Eared Monkey.
Big-eared Monkey is a person who is cautious in his daily work.
Even when I eat lunch every day, even though I don’t like carrots, I still eat them all at every meal.
Pingping didn't know at first that his deskmate didn't like carrots.
At that time, he didn't like eating carrots either. He watched the big-eared monkey eat carrots and thought that the big-eared monkey liked eating carrots.
At that time, he was very enthusiastic and asked the big-eared monkey if he wanted to share his carrots with him?
At that time, the big-eared monkey was eating the carrots in his bowl in pain.
After hearing Pingping's words, he looked at the carrots in Pingping's bowl, shook his head decisively and said that he didn't like carrots.
Hearing this, Pingping was a little confused and looked at him and asked.
"You don't like carrots, so why did you eat all of them?"
When the big-eared monkey heard this, he was even more shocked than Pingping and looked at him and said.
"It is shameful to waste food."
When Pingping heard this, he nodded affirmatively to the big-eared monkey and said to him.
"Yes, wasting food is shameful.
So when I was getting my meal, I specifically told the aunt that I didn’t want carrots.
Because I don't eat carrots, but she still gave me carrots.
This proves that it was she who wasted the food, not me."
The big-eared monkey was confused by Pingping's words.
I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't put it into words. I just finished the carrots in my bowl in silence.
He left the carrots in Pingping's bowl. At that time, his teacher frowned at the carrots in his bowl and stood in front of him and said to him.
"Pingping, we can't waste food. We must be a child who saves food."
When Pingping heard this, he nodded affirmatively to the teacher.
"Teacher, I think what you said makes sense.
So can you go and tell the lady who serves the food?
Tell her not to put carrots in my bowl anymore.
I feel nauseous when I eat carrots, and I can't stop vomiting every time I eat them.
So, can you please stop giving me carrots?
If she hadn't picked carrots for me, the food wouldn't have been wasted."
When the teacher heard Pingping's words, he looked at Pingping and continued speaking.
“Children cannot be picky eaters and need a balanced diet.
You just aren't used to eating carrots right now, but you'll be fine once you get used to them."
After hearing what the teacher said, and seeing the teacher even holding up the bowl and trying to forcefully feed him carrots, Pingping decisively turned his head away and said to the teacher.
“Teacher, I don’t eat carrots.
My mom said, if eating carrots makes you feel uncomfortable, then don’t eat them. There’s no need to make things difficult for yourself.”
When the teacher heard this, he put down the bowl in his hand heavily, looked at Pingping angrily and said to him.
"Is this what your mother taught you, to waste food like this?
What kind of parents are they?"
Pingping didn't have time to refute the teacher before the teacher invited his parents to the school.
When he learned that Pingping's parents had been called in, his deskmate Big Ear Monkey was even more nervous than him. He held his hand and said to him.
"Pingping, aren't you worried?
Your parents will blame you if they come, so why don’t we go and admit our mistake to the teacher and ask him not to invite parents anymore.”
Pingping looked at the panicked big-eared monkey and shook his head.
“No need, my mother is here, the teacher should be the one panicking, not me.
I didn’t do anything wrong in this matter.”
The teacher obviously heard Pingping's words and snorted coldly.
"Don't think that using parents as an excuse is a panacea.
I tell you, you must eat this carrot today and correct this bad habit."
At that time, Pingping and Big Ear Monkey were in the classroom, and the other children had gone outside to play.
He originally wanted Big Eared Monkey to go outside to play, but Big Eared Monkey was worried about him and insisted on staying with him in the classroom.
So he was accompanied by the big-eared monkey, and the teacher was waiting for his mother to arrive.
Tao Jin rushed over as soon as he received the news, and said to the teacher with a smile when he saw him.
"Teacher, what happened?"
The teacher then pointed at the remaining carrots in his flat bowl and spoke to her.
"Pingping's mom, look, Pingping actually left the carrots here and didn't eat them.
I told him to save food, but he actually told me not to eat food that made him uncomfortable.
He also said that it was not him who wasted the food, but the aunt who gave him carrots.
What's going on? Was it wrong for the aunt to give him a carrot out of kindness? "
When Tao Jin heard this, he walked up to Ping Ping and asked him.
"Pingping, tell your mother, did you tell the teacher not to hit you with carrots?"
Pingping nodded affirmatively when he heard this and said to Tao Jin.
"Mom, I told the teacher that I don't eat carrots and asked her not to hit me with carrots.
But she gave me a big spoonful of carrots."
Hearing this, Tao Jin turned to look at the teacher and said to the teacher.
"Teacher, you heard about this matter, it's not Pingping's fault.
Pingping said he didn't eat carrots, but the person serving the food still gave him carrots.
I know that wasting food is a shameful behavior, so I repeatedly reminded Pingping.
If you encounter a dish you don’t like at school, you should tell the teacher in advance so that the teacher doesn’t give it to you to avoid wasting it.”
It was the first time that the teacher encountered such an unreasonable parent. She stood up angrily and looked at Tao Jin and said to her.
"What's wrong with you as a parent? Is this how you educate your child?
Education is such a picky eater.”
