Chapter 49 Buying an iPhone
Today, my elder sister was sanitating her house at home. My fourth sister came to my elder sister listlessly and sat on the sofa and sighed.
"The fourth brother, what's wrong! I heard that Xiaotao was admitted to a university. Although it was not a famous university, it was not a bad university. You, a mother, should be happy! Why do you have a bitter face? Is the tuition too expensive? No! You are just one son, and you and your wife should be able to afford it! Is it something else?" The elder sister said a lot of things in her question and answer.
"Sister, how can children nowadays do this?" Sister Fourth said with disbelief.
"How is Xiaotao?" said the eldest sister anxiously.
"Xiao Tao is going to college. Xiao Tao's father and I saved enough tuition and living expenses for him. This is not easy. Do you know what else he wants?" said the fourth sister weakly.
"What else Xiaotao wants? He doesn't want a book boy who can accompany him to study!" said the eldest sister jokingly.
"Sister, I'm so annoyed that I'm not in the mood to joke with you." Sister Fourth said powerlessly.
"You said it for a long time but didn't mention the point. How was Xiaotao?" said the eldest sister seriously.
"Xiao Tao spent more than 2,000 yuan to buy the mobile phone. It has only been a few months since he was going to change the mobile phone again. Are you angry?" Sister Fourth finally got to the point.
"Yes! I often hear you say that Xiao Tao changed his phone, and he has changed more than ten phones in the past and afterwards! I have never seen you sigh like this. What's wrong with this time?" the eldest sister said with a smile.
"In the past, there was no way to change his phone. His phone was always broken when he played basketball. This time it was different. This time the phone was not broken. I spent more than 2,000 yuan to buy it for him, and it took only a few months. I only used it for a few hundred yuan for three years. I couldn't bear to change it. But he said he wanted to change his phone, so he asked me to pay for it. If he didn't buy it for him, he actually said he wouldn't go to school and work to earn money to buy it for himself. Raising a son, raising a son, what son can I raise?" Sister Fourth sighed, and tears almost shedding as she spoke.
"The thoughts of young people are different from those of our older generation. Our thoughts are that if we can save, we can save money without spending money. If young people don't have money, they have to apply for a credit card and spend money first and then pay back the money." The eldest sister said with a smile.
"What makes me most angry is that I told Xiaotao that I paid him tuition and living expenses and no extra money to buy him a mobile phone. What do you think he said?" Sister Fourth said angrily.
"What Xiao Tao said? You can't ask you to grab a cell phone for you!" the eldest sister said with a laugh.
"I'm not in the mood to joke with you." Sister Fourth said with a bitter face.
"What did Xiaotao ask you to do? It made you so angry." The eldest sister said with a smile.
"He asked me to buy him an Apple phone, but I said I had no money, but he actually told me to pay him an Apple phone monthly. If he didn't give him an Apple phone, he wouldn't go to college." The fourth sister said angrily.
"What? Xiaotao asked you to pay a monthly payment to him with an Apple phone, but he could think of it?" said the eldest sister with a dark face this time.
"That's it! You think how did the child become like this now? If you don't have money, don't buy it! He insisted on providing him with a mobile phone in the next month." The fourth sister said incredible.
"These are all people nowadays. It's because the older generation has not changed. The cars driven by our big dragon and Xiaolong are all the ones who are the ones who are driving." The eldest brother-in-law who was playing with his mobile phone could not help but say.
"These two kids bought their cars for monthly payments, and I thought they bought them for you." The eldest sister said with disbelief.
"Don't even think about it, I'll take out the money to buy them a car." The eldest brother-in-law said seriously.
"Do you think I want to pay an Apple phone to Xiaotao every month?" said the fourth sister in confusion.
"Xiao Tao's key problem now is not as simple as an Apple phone. He is a rising ** in his heart. If he just wants an Apple phone, maybe he will go to college to see someone else's Apple laptop, and he will also want you to pay an Apple laptop monthly. When he sees others wearing famous brands, he will also want you to pay a pair monthly for him. What's even more terrifying is that if he sees other boys have beautiful girlfriends, maybe he will also have to date a beautiful girlfriend. The money spent on a girlfriend in college may be more than the tuition fee. Now girls who don't have money will follow you." The eldest brother-in-law analyzed in a serene way.
"Xiao Tao only has an iPhone. Are you thinking too much? You even think about your beautiful girlfriend?" The eldest sister criticized her brother-in-law and said.
"I'm called foresight, why are you?" said my brother-in-law and a great scholar.
"I think what my elder brother-in-law said makes sense. If I give Xiao Taoyue an Apple phone today, what if he asks me to pay him a Apple laptop tomorrow! Today I can threaten me not to go to college, and tomorrow I will threaten me to jump off the building!" said the fourth sister worriedly.
"Second, are you thinking too much? Don't think too much about your brain?" said the eldest sister seriously.
"Look at how you scared the fourth brother." The eldest sister stared at her brother-in-law and said.
"Actually, I said so much to remind you to educate Xiaotao well not to be vain. He also wants whatever others have. This won't work." said the eldest brother-in-law.
"When it comes to this, I think I still blame the fourth brother. How do you say the words you often say? I am just a child, and other people's children also have to have them. Look, now you are spoiled as a wealthy person!" said the elder sister, shook her head and said.
"I regret it now, really regret it. When I told Xiaotao that I had no money to buy him an Apple phone, and he actually asked me to pay a monthly payment for him, I regretted it. Why did I spoil him so much before? Seeing other children, I didn't need Xiaotao to ask me to buy it. I had already bought it for him." The fourth sister said regretfully, thinking that if time could be repeated, she would definitely not spoil her child like this again.
"Xiao Tao now only wants an Apple phone. Haven't you read the news? Some children can't get money from their parents. After picking up a knife and hacking their parents to death, they can still calmly take the money to go online to the Internet cafe!" said the elder sister.
"Stop talking, I have a premonition now, I think that Xiaotao will cut me off with a knife one day, and then use the money to buy an Apple phone." Sister Fourth said sadly.
"Don't think too much. Xiaotao is still young and can educate him well. We will educate him patiently." The eldest sister said seriously.
"I also know that Xiaotao needs to educate him well, but I don't know how to educate him!" said the fourth sister helplessly.
"You just take the examples of children killing elders when they ask for money from their elders and ask them if they can't ask for money or Apple phones, will he kill you too?" said the eldest sister.
"I think the iPhone that Xiaotao wants must not be bought for him. Today, the iPhone will be successfully asked for your monthly payment. Maybe tomorrow he will take a small car and ask you to go to monthly payment." The eldest brother-in-law said affirmatively.
"First move with emotion and reason, test his inner thoughts and then decide whether to buy an Apple phone for him. Haven't you heard of it? Some middle school students sell kidneys in order to get an Apple phone. If Xiaotao goes to extremes in order to get an Apple phone, it will be troublesome." The eldest sister said worriedly.
"I'll go back and test Xiaotao now. If I really don't buy him an Apple phone, see what his reaction is." Sister Fourth said and left.
"Wait for me, let me hide in the room and test him again. If he really attacks you, I can come out to save you as soon as possible." The eldest sister said, picking up her bag and following the fourth sister.
"Do I want to follow me too? I'm afraid that if you two will not be Xiao Tao's opponents when they fight." The eldest brother-in-law shouted to the eldest sister who had already walked out of the doorstep.
"You will only cause trouble for us. You can have some food at home and wait for us to come back for dinner!" The eldest sister said as she got on the back seat of the fourth sister's motorcycle and left.
"Xiao Tao is tall and big. If you really fight, you two are really not his opponents." The eldest brother-in-law reminded loudly with concern.
The fourth sister drove the motorcycle and took the eldest sister away long ago. They heard the eldest brother-in-law's words, but they didn't take the eldest brother-in-law's words in their hearts. No matter how bad Xiaotao was, he wouldn't really hit his mother and aunt!
As soon as the fourth sister opened the door, strong game fighting sounds came from Xiaotao's room. The fourth sister frowned in anger. Xiaotao only knows how to play games at home, never do any housework, and never cooks a meal. But who can I blame all this? I can only blame the fourth sister for never letting him do housework, and he has to take care of all the work he has to do, making himself like a nanny.
The fourth sister asked the eldest sister to hide in the kitchen quietly. She knocked on the door of Xiaotao's room and said, "Xiaotao, come out, mom has something to say to you."
"I'll come out when I finish this game." Xiao Tao responded loudly in the room.
"Come out soon, mom wants to talk to you about Apple phones." Sister Fourth also said loudly.
"Mom, buy me an Apple phone! I'll come out soon." Xiao Tao said as he opened the door and walked out.
"Where is the iPhone?" Xiao Tao stretched out his hand and said.
"Where did mom get the money to buy you an Apple phone!" said the fourth sister weakly
"Aren't you asked you to pay for monthly payment? Can't you even get two or three hundred yuan a month? You just don't want to buy an Apple phone for me," Xiao Tao said dissatisfiedly.
"Let's sit down and have a good chat." Sister Fourth pointed to the chair and said.
Xiaotao sat down and said, "Mom, why didn't you bring me breakfast back after you've been out for so long? Do you want to starve me to death?"
"Xiao Tao, you are eighteen years old this year, and the kitchen is right there. When you are hungry, won't you cook it yourself?" Sister Fourth said expressionlessly.
"Mom, what are you doing today? You actually want me to cook it myself? I can cook it there." Xiao Tao said with a disbelief.
"You are eighteen years old this year, so you have the nerve to say that you can't cook." Sister Fourth said with disgust.
"Mom, what happened? You are very strange today! You won't get cancer like the ones you played in the TV series!" Xiao Tao said jokingly.
"I don't have cancer, but I have depression." Sister Fourth said with a sad face.
"Why did you suddenly get depression?" Xiao Tao said in disbelief.
"I saw a news online that a healthy and normal young man in his twenties would rather starve to death than go out to find food. Some middle school students didn't ask for money from their parents, and they could still go to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet after killing their parents. Some children went to buy kidneys to steal money to buy Apple phones," said the fourth sister. Tears almost shed.
"Mom, do you think I am the one who would rather starve to death than go to cook? Do you think I am the one who killed you without asking for money? Do you think I am the one who can do anything to get an Apple phone?" Xiaotao asked the fourth sister one by one question one by one.
"Yes, I think you will become that person sooner or later. I think I will die under your knife sooner or later." Sister Fourth said with tears in her eyes.
"To prove that I am not the person you said, I will cook breakfast now and work in the summer vacation tomorrow. I will never give me pocket money again. I don't want my iPhone." Xiao Tao said and walked towards the kitchen.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Xiaotao said to his elder sister standing behind the kitchen door.
"I want to see what's good in the kitchen. I haven't had breakfast yet." The eldest sister said in a glance at the kitchen.
"I didn't have breakfast either. I want to eat noodles, so you can make it quickly." Xiaotao said to his elder sister with a smile.
"Why did I hear someone say I have to cook by myself?" the eldest sister looked at Xiaotao and said.
"Okay! Teach me how to cook noodles." Xiao Tao said helplessly.
"Auntie, will my mother's depression turn into a mental illness?" Xiao Tao said in a low voice.
"It's very likely that you are really like the people your mother said. If you don't change your mother, you will really become mentally ill." The eldest sister said seriously.
"Oh my God! I don't want my mother to become mentally ill." Xiao Tao shouted in his heart.
When a person is born with good nature, what kind of children look like has a lot to do with the teachings of his parents.
