After the two children finished writing the self-criticism and checked it again, they were ready to hand over the self-criticism to their mother.

Ji Zhile looked at his own self-criticism full of pinyin and the self-criticism of his brother’s handsome handwriting. The comparison was terrible. He was a kid who wanted to save face, so he said to Ji Ningyi with embarrassment: “You help me hand it over to Mom.”

Ji Ningyi took it, nodded, and said, “Okay.”

“Tell Mom that I’m serious about writing it.”

Ji Ningyi curled his lips and smiled: “I will.”

Ji Zhile sat on the bed and waved to him: “Go quickly.”

He hoped that his mother would praise him after reading his self-criticism, because he has really improved a lot compared to the last time he wrote a self-criticism. The teachers at school will praise students who have made progress.

Ji Ningyi gently opened the door and walked out of the room. When he looked down, he found that his parents were not in the living room. He thought about it and walked to the study room.

The door of the study room was slightly opened, and before he got closer, he heard his mother’s voice. Ji Ningyi was a little happy and wanted to tell his mother that Zhile was already willing to talk to him just now.

At this time, Grandma’s voice came out: “Ningyi can’t go on like this, find a psychiatrist for him, and listen to the doctor’s advice on whether to let the two children live apart temporarily.”

Ji Ningyi was stunned and stood by the door holding the self-criticism, at a loss.

A psychiatrist is also a doctor. He only needs to see a doctor when he is sick. Is he mentally ill?

Is their family going to separate? Because they were worried that he would hurt Zhile again?

Ningyi felt extremely uncomfortable, it was guilt.

After Si Tian left Ji Zhile’s room, she was ready to tell others everything that happened today.

There are more people and there are more great strengths. She is also a mother for the first time. When the child has such a problem, she doesn’t know how to deal with it more appropriately. Not to mention that they are all Ningyi’s family, they all care about Ningyi, so she should let them know.

Just as soon as she got downstairs, she saw Zhu Pan. The little girl has been looking for Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile with them today, very seriously and hard. Originally, she should go home now, but because of this delay, now standing in the stairwell, her behavior is a little hesitant, like waiting for someone.

Si Tian smiled warmly at the little girl: “What’s the matter, Panpan?”

This smile gave Zhu Pan great courage. She looked at Si Tian and asked carefully, “Auntie, are Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile okay?”

Si Tian nodded and said, “The two of them are writing a self-criticism now, because they ran away from the house when they were playing hide-and-seek.”

Zhu Pan still doesn’t know what self-criticism is, because in their school, if a child does something wrong, they will eat a solid meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots. Is self-criticism a similar punishment to this?

Zhu Pan plucked up her courage and said, “Auntie, I didn’t take good care of them, so I let them run out. Don’t beat them.”

Si Tian wanted to laugh a little, is she like this in the eyes of the children? Hit people whenever there is a disagreement? (T/N: Haha… Not only you, Tiantian, I think most mothers have this kind of image.)

She said softly: “Panpan, it’s not your fault. Zhile and Ningyi ran out by themselves, it has nothing to do with you.”

But, Zhu Pan said: “But, I am older than them. I am an older sister and my Grandma asked me to take good care of them, but I failed.”

She is a very capable and brave little girl, but she said such depressing words, which made Si Tian feel a little astringent in her heart. She thought of Ningyi again, Ningyi was also an elder brother.

Did he think the same way in the past? Because he was the elder brother, he had to give way to his younger brother and take good care of him. Because he was the elder brother, he lost the right to be disobedient.

Si Tian said slowly: “Panpan, even if you are an older sister, you have no obligation to take care of your younger brother. Parents should take good care of their own children. Elder sisters are also children and should be taken care of by their parents.”

Zhu Pan did not quite understand Si Tian’s words. She felt that something was wrong, but it seemed that it should be like this.

Because her classmates and friends basically have younger siblings at home, everyone is used to taking care of their younger siblings. They have to take them with them when they go out to play and they have to take care of them when they go home. When the younger brother cries, their mother will also scold them.

But, Auntie said that this is the responsibility of parents and from the books they learn are also for parents to take care of their children.

The difference between reality and what was written in the book and what Auntie said now made this little girl who was only eight years old confused.
