The old man enlightened the old lady, "With your reminder this time, even if they didn't pay attention at first, it will leave an impression in their hearts."
"Maybe we'll find out later."
"Yes or no?"
The old lady was silent.
What the old man said makes sense.
"......Um."
"Too."
"After all, he is someone else's child..."
The old lady sighed.
If it were her own grandson, she would drag her child to see a psychiatrist even if she forced him to do so.
It is wrong to conceal a disease and avoid medical treatment.
The problem cannot be put off.
Put it off...it's very difficult to correct it.
...
"Excuse me, young man."
The old lady smiled at Xiao Xiao, "I pulled you and said so many irrelevant things."
"It's wasting your time."
"Isn't it?"
The old man muttered on the side.
The old lady suddenly stared.
The old man sneered and hurriedly started another conversation.
"I told someone again. Doesn't it make you feel better?"
"What's the pleasure?"
The old lady pouted.
Nothing has changed?
but......
I actually feel a little more comfortable.
At least the shadow left on her that day seemed to have faded a little.
...
"fine."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
Then there was some hesitation on his face, "Actually..."
"What?"
The old lady asked.
"Hey, young people, don't hesitate when speaking."
"How uncomfortable."
"Aren't you hesitating whether to say it or not?"
The old man muttered softly.
Because the old lady's attention was on the young man in front of her, she did not hear the old man's muttering.
"talk."
"Do you want to scare the old lady to death?"
The old lady urged.
...
Xiao Xiao glanced in the direction of the opposite door.
"When I found that child..."
"He was about to use a baseball bat-"
"Hit the cat?!"
The old lady's voice was a bit sharp.
"Hey, old lady, please speak softer."
The old man rubbed his ears.
He was a little frightened.
"Come in and talk."
He took the old woman's arm and motioned to the young man in front of him.
...
Xiao Xiao turned around and closed the door.
Just as the old lady was about to speak out, the old man grabbed her arm again.
"what are you doing?"
The old lady was a little annoyed.
Didn't you see that she was in a hurry?
...
"Speak in the living room."
The old man smiled at the young man and said, "What's the difference between what you're talking about here and just now?"
Just separated by a door?
What can it be used for?
...
"sit."
The old man was just about to pour tea for the young man, when something suddenly occurred to him and he asked, "Do you want tea or boiled water?"
He knows that young people nowadays don't like drinking tea very much.
"Just plain water will be fine."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"OK."
The old man praised his foresight.
...
"Young man, did you just say that when you saw that child, that child..."
The old lady swallowed her saliva and said, "I'm beating the cat."
Just like she did last time.
"That cat..."
"It's okay."
Xiao Xiao acquiesced to Old Man Cat's statement.
Otherwise it would be difficult to explain the types of combined seals.
"I stopped him."
Xiao Xiao smiled politely at the old man who put the water glass in front of him.
"Thanks."
Then he continued what he said before, "That's why the baseball bat is in my hand."
"No wonder that kid ignored you."
The old lady was stunned.
She was a little strange before. Although she now has some scruples about the child, except for the time when she caught him abusing the cat, the child had always behaved very politely.
So this is ah……
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
...
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Before he could speak, the old man said from the side, "What else is there for?"
"Isn't this young man thinking about the child?"
"It's not a good thing."
"Is it possible that everyone knows what I'm going to say?"
"Do you mean what you said?"
The old lady stared at the old man with a somewhat unkind expression.
The old man picked up the tea cup and drank water, and said vaguely, "No, no."
"What's the point?"
"You old woman is just too sensitive."
"Every nice thing someone says has multiple meanings."
"Are you tired?"
...
The old lady glared at the old man again and didn't care about him.
She looked at Xiao Xiao, the complicated emotions in her heart made her not know what to say for a moment.
Although the people around her didn't say it explicitly, she knew that they all felt that she was overreacting.
A child.
Just a little naughty.
When they were young, they caught cicadas, touched bird eggs, and even set traps to catch little rabbits.
Torturing cats is too much...
But if children are ignorant, parents can educate them so that they won’t do it again in the future.
As time passed, the panic that left her that day gradually faded away.
She gradually accepted what people around her said.
She was also wondering, had she really overreacted?
Although to this day, her heart still beats fast when she thinks of what her child looked like that day.
Now, the young man told her that he had seen what she had seen.
Just today.
The child did not correct himself.
Still abusing cats...
...
"I asked him why he did that?"
Xiao Xiao said slowly, "He-"
"How did he say?!"
The old lady couldn't wait to ask, leaning her upper body in Xiao Xiao's direction.
"Isn't that what you meant?"
The old man patted the old lady's arm and said, "Calm down."
"Don't be so excited."
"oh oh."
The old lady sat up straight.
Staring at Xiao Xiao with bright eyes.
...
"I don't know if what he said is true."
Given the circumstances at that time, there was no guarantee that what the child said was not angry.
"He said...he was taking it out on himself."
"Taking it out?"
The old lady's face was stunned for a moment.
"Just to vent your anger?"
A second ago, she was actually expecting to hear a reasonable reason.
Although she doesn’t know any legitimate reason to torture a cat?
At this moment, she couldn't tell whether she felt more disappointed or expected after hearing this answer.
...
"That's all he said."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "Then he ran away."
"I chased him all the way."
"That's what you see later."
...
"oh oh."
The old lady nodded absently.
It was obvious that the old man was thinking about something.
"young people."
The old lady seemed to have made a decision.
"May I have your name?"
"Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Xiao Xiao."
The old lady nodded, "What do you want next?"
"If nothing happens..."
"Can you stay a little longer?"
"Do you want to..."
Xiao Xiao was thoughtful.
The old man was a little confused at first, but after being an old married couple for many years, he quickly figured out the old woman's plan.
He smiled bitterly, "Do you have to do such a thankless thing?"
