Moreover, probably because they drank too much since childhood, my roommate and his brother were much more resistant to alcohol than the average person.
In fact, my roommate and his brother don’t drink much unless the occasion calls for it.
...
My roommate doesn’t understand why such a young child likes drinking so much?
Almost to the point of exaggerating that he drinks wine all the time.
Originally, the roommate's family didn't pay much attention and even joked that the child was indeed a child of their Zhang family and had been inseparable from alcohol since he was a child.
Or my roommate felt something was wrong.
At first, he told his brother and family members, but no one cared. They all thought he was thinking too much.
It's just a greedy kid.
It's not a big deal.
...
My roommate is not at home often because he is studying, so there is nothing he can do.
Moreover, his family's words also made him hesitate, wondering if he was thinking too much.
Things just dragged on.
...
But as the child gets older and has more and more things to eat, the child still has a special liking for wine.
The situation has become somewhat serious.
In the past, adults just dipped chopsticks into some wine for the children to eat, but now the children can drink from the wine bottles themselves.
The Zhang family was a little frightened by the child's heavy drinking.
Moreover, children pay the most attention to nutrition. How can they do it if they always drink and don’t eat?
The Zhang family finally began to take measures.
...
Children's crying and fussing are expected by them, ranging from gentle words to stern words, and even if they are impatient with the child's crying, they will yell at the child loudly.
As a result, it has no effect.
The child doesn't want to eat anything but drinks.
Whatever you feed your child, the child will spit it out.
The Zhang family was very anxious, but the children had to eat.
Seeing the child's increasingly ugly face, the Zhang family finally compromised and allowed the child to drink, but there was a prescribed amount and no more.
Children also need to eat.
If you don't eat, you don't have wine.
...
Even at this point, the Zhang family just felt that it was just the child's willfulness.
They had a headache, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
In their opinion, they were too radical before, but if they take their time later, the children will always understand the adults' painstaking efforts.
Looking at the child whose face was rosy due to drinking, the Zhang family could only curse helplessly: He is really a born drunkard.
...
However, while the rest of the Zhang family didn't care, Meng Jixi's roommate always felt a little uneasy.
When he came home for the holidays, he forcefully cut off his nephew's drinking, and he was unmoved even though his nephew cried so much that he couldn't help but cry.
Perhaps his expression was too cold. Even though the Zhang family looked a little reluctant, they did not say anything to stop him.
Faced with their children's misbehaving and acting coquettishly, they just advised them to listen to their uncle's words.
...
The child tried all the methods he could think of that had been tried many times before, but they all had no effect and fell into disarray.
The noisy child suddenly fell silent.
The rest of the Zhang family felt that the child had faced reality.
I couldn't help feeling that their previous attitude was really too unstable.
The little dissatisfaction they had originally turned into a surprise.
After all, even if their family runs a winery, they still feel that it is not good that such a young child does not like to eat sweets, does not like to drink drinks, does not like to eat other children's favorite foods, but only likes to drink.
Before, it was just self-comfort because I couldn't make up my mind to force my child.
...
The Zhang family felt very happy, and even Meng Jixi's roommate, Zhang Lin, also felt relieved.
Although it is just the beginning, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as other people in the family can see the results of his approach, even if he goes back to school later, the family will continue to implement his approach.
As long as he perseveres, his nephew's alcoholism will definitely be able to stop.
That's what he thought at first.
.......
However, things developed once again beyond expectations.
The child seems to have become well-behaved and obedient.
Even the threat of a hunger strike was shattered by Zhang Lin's black face and fists.
The child ate every meal without refusing.
However, I don’t know why, but the child is getting thinner and thinner.
The cheeks that were originally baby-fat have lost weight and lost their original rosy color, becoming paler day by day.
Until the paleness revealed the greenness, Zhang Lin's sister-in-law couldn't bear it any longer.
She looked at the child's eyes, which were extraordinarily large due to his thin cheeks, filled with silent longing and eagerness.
Really too thin.
Even though she had already known that the child was losing weight day by day, but now when she looked at the child so carefully, she realized that at some point, her child had become so shockingly thin.
This can't go on like this!
She was a little hesitant at first and immediately poured a glass of wine for her child.
Seeing the child's satisfied expression as if he was addicted, and finally sticking out his tongue to lick the cup, Zhang Lin's sister-in-law felt complicated, and her worry deepened.
She was not from a winery, so in her original mind, how could a child drink?
However, her parents-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband didn't take it seriously. They all advised her that their children had been drinking since childhood, so it didn't matter at all and it would not have a bad impact on the children.
She looked at her husband, then at her brother-in-law, and believed these words.
However, she realized that maybe she had really done something wrong.
She should have stopped her child from drinking in the first place!
Her child!
The sudden sourness in her heart made her eyes turn red.
My vision was blurry.
However, she still clearly saw her child smiling for a long time, looking at her innocently but longingly, with a bit of unconscious coquettishness.
She knew that the child still wanted to drink.
He was asking her for a drink.
For a moment, her emotions were so complicated that it was difficult to describe.
...
Zhang Lin's sister-in-law's behavior declared her child's failure in quitting drinking.
The Zhang family, including Zhang Lin, all acquiesced to this result.
The whole family was shocked by the child's reaction.
Although he was obviously silent and well-behaved, the child seemed to have been drained of energy and became paler and weaker day by day.
Zhang Lin did not dare to continue to be tough.
He felt that his nephew's alcoholism was a little abnormal, but that didn't mean that he could ignore the harm the child might suffer.
If quitting drinking would cause irreparable harm to the child, how dare and how could he insist on insisting on it?
...
Just, is that it?
Just let your child continue to indulge in alcoholism?
Out of concern, the Zhang family took their child to see a doctor.
After some inspection, nothing unusual was found.
The doctor's advice is simply to let parents guide their children step by step.
In the end, the Zhang family was scolded, saying how could they give alcohol to such a young child?
Now the child is addicted to alcohol and is seeking help.
