He leaned against the wall, basking in the sun and imagining the taste of pork, not to mention how happy he was. In the evening, the child saw his mother come back from a distance.

How can you kill pigs at work? " The child cried with a wow. Ceng Zi heard it, and when he knew the truth, he didn't say anything. Turn around and go back to the house After a while, he came out with a kitchen knife. Ceng Zi's wife was frightened, because Ceng Zi was always very strict with the children, thinking that he would teach them a lesson, and she quickly put her arms around them. But Ceng Zi went straight to the pigsty. The wife asked inexplicably, "What are you doing in the pigsty with a kitchen knife?" Ceng Zi replied without thinking: "Kill the pig". The wife listened to a sloped smile: "But what pig should I kill in the New Year?" Ceng Zi said seriously, "Didn't you promise your child to kill pigs for him? Since you promised, you should do it. " The wife said, "I'm just lying to the children." Why should I talk to them seriously? " Ceng Zi said: "It is more important for children to keep their promises. Otherwise, isn't it obvious that children should lie like their parents? " ? Adults don't keep their words. What qualifications do you have to educate your children in the future? "
