Chapter 461 The Alcoholic Child
Moreover, perhaps because they have been drinking too much since childhood, my roommate and his brother have a much stronger resistance to alcohol than the average person.
In fact, my roommate and his brother don’t drink much unless the occasion requires it.
My roommates don’t understand why such a young child likes to drink so much?
It's almost to the point where he can't stop drinking.
At first, my roommate’s family didn’t take it seriously and even joked that this child was indeed from their Zhang family and had been dependent on alcohol since childhood.
My roommate still felt something was wrong.
At first he told his brother and family, but no one cared and thought he was overthinking.
It's just that the children are greedy.
It's not a big deal.
My roommate is not often at home because he is studying, so there is nothing I can do.
Moreover, his family's words made him hesitate, and he wondered if he was thinking too much.
And so the matter dragged on.
However, as the child grew older and had more things to eat, he still had a special liking for wine.
The situation is getting a little serious.
Before, adults would just dip chopsticks in wine and feed it to children, but now children can hold the wine bottle and drink by themselves.
The Zhang family was a little worried about the child's high alcohol tolerance.
Moreover, children pay the most attention to nutrition. How can they always drink without eating?
The Zhang family finally began to take measures.
They expected the children to cry and make a scene, and they would persuade them with gentle words, stern words, or even yell at them if they got impatient with their children's crying.
As a result, nothing worked.
The child doesn't want to eat anything but drink.
Whatever you feed a child, he will spit out.
The Zhang family was extremely worried, but the children couldn't go without meals.
Seeing the child's face becoming increasingly ugly, the Zhang family finally compromised and allowed the child to drink, but there was a set amount and he could not drink more.
Children need to eat too.
No food, no wine.
Even at this point, the Zhang family thought it was just the child's willfulness.
They were troubled, but did not take it too seriously.
In their opinion, they were too radical before and if they took it slow, the children would eventually understand the adults' painstaking efforts.
Looking at the child with a rosy face due to drinking, the Zhang family could only curse helplessly: He is a born drunkard.
However, although the other members of the Zhang family did not care, Meng Jixi's roommates always felt a little uneasy.
When he went home during the holidays, he once firmly stopped his nephew from drinking, and remained unmoved even when his nephew cried loudly.
Perhaps it was because his expression was too cold. Even though the Zhang family members looked a little reluctant, they did not say anything to stop him.
Faced with children throwing tantrums and acting aggrieved, they just advised the children to listen to their uncle.
The child tried every method he could think of, which had always worked before, but all of them were in vain and he failed.
The noisy child suddenly fell silent.
The other members of the Zhang family felt that the child had faced reality.
I couldn't help but sigh that their previous attitude was indeed too unsteady.
The slight dissatisfaction they had turned into surprise.
After all, even if their family runs a winery, they still feel that it is not good for such a young child to not like eating sweets, drinking beverages, or eating things that other children like to eat, but only likes to drink alcohol.
Before, I just comforted myself because I couldn't bear to force my child.
Everyone in the Zhang family felt very happy, even Meng Jixi's roommate, Zhang Lin, felt relieved.
Although it is just a beginning, the beginning is always difficult. As long as the rest of the family sees the effectiveness of his approach, then even if he goes back to school, the family will continue to follow his approach. As long as he perseveres, his nephew will definitely be able to quit drinking.
That's what he thought at first.
However, the development of things once again exceeded expectations.
The child seemed to have become well-behaved and obedient.
Even the threat of a hunger strike was shattered by the intimidation of Zhang Lin's dark face and fists.
The child never refused to eat any meal.
But for some reason, the child became thinner and thinner.
Her chubby cheeks had become thinner and had lost their original rosy color, becoming paler day by day.
Until the paleness began to show signs of blue, Zhang Lin's sister-in-law could no longer bear it.
She looked at the child's eyes, which seemed particularly large because of his thin cheeks, and which revealed silent longing and desire.
Really too thin.
Even though she already knew that the child was getting thinner day by day, but now when she looked at the child so carefully, she realized that she hadn't known when her child had become so shockingly thin.
It can't go on like this!
She was a little hesitant at first, but immediately poured a glass of wine for the child.
Seeing the child's addicted and satisfied expression, who even licked the cup with his tongue, Zhang Lin's sister-in-law felt complicated and her worries deepened.
She didn't come from a winery background, and in her mind, how could a child drink alcohol?
But her parents-in-law and her husband did not take it seriously. They all advised her that their children had been drinking since they were young and it was no big deal and would not have a bad impact on the children.
She looked at her husband and then at her brother-in-law and believed what he said.
But she realized that maybe she had done something wrong.
She should have stopped the child from drinking in the first place!
her child!
The sudden sourness in her heart made her eyes red.
My vision was blurry.
However, she still clearly saw her child smile for the first time in a long time, looking at her with innocence and longing, and a bit of unconscious coquettishness.
She knew that the child still wanted to drink.
He was asking her for wine.
For a moment, her emotions were so complicated that they were hard to describe.
Zhang Lin's sister-in-law's behavior declared the child's failure to quit 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 quiet and well-behaved, the child seemed to have lost all his energy and became paler and weaker day by day.
Zhang Lin didn't dare to continue to be tough.
He thought his nephew's alcoholism was a little abnormal, but that didn't mean he could ignore the possible harm to the child.
If quitting drinking would cause irreparable harm to the child, how could he dare and insist on doing so?
But, is that it?
Just let your child continue to drink?
Out of concern, the Zhang family took the child to see a doctor.
After an inspection, nothing unusual was found.
The doctor's advice is simply to let parents proceed step by step and guide their children slowly.
In the end, the Zhang family scolded them, asking how could they let such a young child drink alcohol?
Now that my child has become addicted to alcohol, I come to seek help.
What good solution is there?
