Chapter 12 Section Eleven
In the winter, I found a leisure job, flying a flying saucer in a children's playground. Of course, this is not a real flying saucer, and it can't go to Mars. It can only spin like an electric fan in the air above the height of a two-story building, but this thing Watching it for a long time really creates a kind of cosmology.
There are eight flying saucers in total, which can seat sixteen people.I'm in the little workshop below.This job is very suitable for me. I have driven a driving car in a factory before. The basic principles are similar, and the precautions are also similar. You can't lose things on the driving car, and you can't throw people off the flying saucer.
The Children's Paradise is very dilapidated. It is located in a corner of Daicheng Park. There are two slides, a seesaw that will never be lifted again, a "Road of the Brave" that often has accidents, and the most magnificent flying saucer.Nothing else.The place was contracted by a boss, and the contract expired in half a year. He just wanted to transfer the paradise, but no one took it.Due to the lack of management, there is no one here all year round, it used to be my dream place as a child.Who would have thought that now I would be the one to fly a flying saucer, and it was old and broken, and it really looked like it was going to be thrown to Mars at any time.
Parents with normal brains would never let their children sit on this kind of flying saucer. Occasionally, there are some people with abnormal brains, so I'm lucky.But it was winter when I went, and even the most out-of-sane parents would not let their children blow the cold wind there.It’s really not a cover, I’ve actually encountered this kind of double material and heartless, the child clamored to ride the flying saucer, the parents actually agreed, I pinched the watch and let them play on it for half a minute, feeling sorry for the child, so I turned it off The machine puts them down.Normally it should be three minutes.Parents and children felt that it was not enough, saying that I was short of catties, so I let them walk on it for ten minutes, and they were frozen stupid when they came down.
The business was so bad that I didn't get a penny of wages.The boss is a good buddy, and said that the money earned from turning the flying saucer will not be given to him anymore.Most of the time, it is deserted here, except for the aunt who sweeps the garbage in the park who comes to strike up a conversation with me, there is no one else.I huddled in my little room, smoked, counted the sheep, and the hours passed.Every day before I get off work, I let the flying saucer idle once, which is considered a safety check, and then I can go home.When idling, I walked out of the small operating room, lit a cigarette and looked up at it. If the weather is fine, the setting sun will just fall in the middle of the flying saucer.
In Ye University, Baozhu asked me where I went to high school, and I said, I play flying saucers in the children's playground.Baozhu said that she wanted to sit on that bastard's flying saucer when she was a child, but she had never sat on it before.I said you should hurry up before it flies away, it will probably return to Mars in a few days.
One day she actually came, handed me a ten-dollar bill, and pointed to the flying saucer.It was windy, and she was wearing a ponytail and a red scarf.I huddled in the operating room for a while and said, "It's cold, don't sit down."
"I want to ride a flying saucer." She said every word, as if these are five nails that can be directly driven into my head.
I said yes, confiscated her money, opened the iron fence with peeling paint, and let her in.She happily picked a red flying saucer and sat on it.Back in the operation room, I pushed the electric switch and pressed the green button, the flying saucer turned slowly, and the iron arm raised, sending her into the air.She was very excited, raised her hands and made a movement to fly against the wind, how fucking cold it is.The wind blew her scarf away, and she let out a scream.
"It's so cool!"
I could tell she was a little crazy.
It was afternoon, and I could leave work in another hour, and her appearance brought forward the daily routine safety inspection.I'm ashamed to tell her that in case of any accident, she can only act as a victim.Three minutes later I turned off the machine, and Baozhu stepped off the flying saucer, her face flushed from the cold, and she had the illusion of being very excited.I said, "Is it fun?" Baozhu changed his face and said, "It's not fun at all. When the flying saucer was raised, I could see the street outside. It's very mediocre. Do you have anything more fun here?" I said no, why not? Go boating. In such a cold day, the artificial lake in the park is frozen. It can be regarded as an icebreaker. If you stay on the lake for a long time, you will have hallucinations when you are so cold that you will no longer feel mediocre.I was shabby for her, but she couldn't tell, so she dragged me to go boating.I can only say, if you want to paddle yourself, I don't bother to go to the lake to seek death.
Baozhu said: "You know, you have been a coward since you were a child."
I said, "It's absolutely impossible, I remember being very aggressive."
Baozhu said: "Do you still remember the cookies in the kindergarten in the afternoon? You have never eaten a whole cookie, and you automatically broke half of it for the overbearing boy."
After New Year's Day, my flying saucer is finished.This incident was caused by a fat boy of eight or nine years old, who was brought to the Children's Paradise by his mother, who was a thin, sharp-mouthed, protruding-eyed woman who looked very difficult to deal with. kind.On a snowy day, there was no one in the garden. I sat in the operating room and watched the mother and child. They were deserted, and they didn't talk.After watching this for a while, I was a little dazed. It is impolite to stare at others. The boy looked up at me, then pulled his mother's hand and pointed at me, signaling that I was peeping at him. I'm a little upset.I didn't realize that my head was hidden behind the small gray glass window in the operating room, reflecting light, the effect was almost equal to that of a portrait, and I was bearded, my hair was disheveled, and I was wearing a poor rough work jacket. How awkward it is.When I walked out, they were still looking at me, which made me very bored. I rolled up my sleeves and shouted to the sky: Let’s take a flying saucer, ride a flying saucer, ten yuan a trip, half price discount. I mean shoo them away, don't hang out in the children's playground instead of riding a flying saucer, go boating in the lake.The child was not afraid of me at all, and said loudly: "Your flying saucer can't spin." "Nonsense." I said, "It can be turned." "Turn one over for me to see?" "Fart." I said, "How can it be transferred without paying?" The child said: "Even if it can spin, I don't want to ride your flying saucer. Your place is too broken. I'm going to Daicheng Paradise to play." I thought about it, and it seems that I saw Daicheng Paradise on the TV news, which is located in the high-tech development zone and has just been built.That place is too far away, I have never been there.The child said, "You don't know, right? It's the biggest paradise in East China." I said, "Where is East China, tell me." The child pouted and gave me the names of six provinces and one city in East China.Geography is really good.At this time, the child's mother showed a serious smile.I had no choice but to say: "I am ambitious, and I will go to Daicheng Amusement Park in the future." This sentence offended the child's mother, and she probably felt that I was not qualified to judge the child's ambition. She said coldly: "He can play now without the future." .He won’t be like you, in the future—in his twenties, he will live with a flying saucer.” I was very hurt. I went back to the operation room to smoke, and I heard a child chanting sutras outside: Your flying saucer can't spin, can't spin.I opened the window and shouted at him: "It can turn!" "cannot!" I have to be angry with him, I hope this old flying saucer will go up, spin in the air, and arouse his desire.If he wants to ride a flying saucer, I will give these girls a ride for free, and I swear to let them ride on it for half an hour.I was in a hurry. I should push the switch first, and then press the green button. I did it the other way around. I pressed the green button and then pushed the switch. Probably the instantaneous current was too strong. I only heard a strange sound from the flying saucer. There was a flash of white light, and everything fell silent.The flying saucer stopped moving. The child clapped his hands and shouted: "I just can't turn!" After many years, I have admitted the judgment of most people: I am mediocre, boring, bad, chattering and stuttering, but I can't bear the humiliation of having a child testify that I am unlucky.I jumped out of the operating room and rushed towards him.In fact, I was just sad and wanted to scare him, and didn't intend to do it in front of his mother.The child's mother said sharply, "What do you want to do? I fell to your death." I stepped on the ice on the side of the road and fell in all directions in front of them.When I got up, the strange pair of mother and son had already left, and I vaguely heard my mother teaching her son: Don’t talk nonsense in the future, the flying saucer won’t spin, and the person in charge of the flying saucer will lose his job.The child retorted: If you let him fall, he will fall, don't you just talk nonsense.I sat on the ice, and the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I slapped my butt and stood up and slipped back to the operation room in a daze. Baozhu came in the afternoon and wrapped herself in a heavy cotton windbreaker, with a red scarf wrapped three times around her neck, just like an Indian Ah San's head wrap.I tapped the button repeatedly in the operator's booth and told her the saucer was broken.Baozhu came over and fiddled with it a few times, and said that the button should not be broken. It seemed that the motor outside was broken, either burned or shorted.Later, she said that if the electric appliance is broken, kick it a few times and shoot it twice, and it will often return to normal. However, the iron flying saucer is too big, and kicking it may break the leg bone, so I should go to a maintenance worker to solve the problem. Bar. I sat in the operating room disappointed, and Baozhu complained to me: "I wanted to come to play before the winter vacation, you are too disappointing. I want to go back to my hometown." I said that you college students have weird speeches, and you will die when you go back to your hometown. Meaning, it's too unlucky for those who celebrate the Chinese New Year.Baozhu thought for a while and said, "That's right, my hometown is Daicheng, so I can only say I'm going home." Before leaving, she patted me on the shoulder, "Fix the flying saucer, and I will come to ride the flying saucer again next year." .” "I don't want to fly a flying saucer anymore, I want to do something else." I said, "What job do you think I am suitable for?" "Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want, just don't come to discuss work with me." Baozhu waved her hands and walked to the front of the "Road of the Brave". There were several plum blossom piles, none of which were very high, with snow piled on them, like some crystal clear breasts.She found a stake, raised her hand to sweep the snow away, and stood on it with a kick.Then I saw her left leg lifted, her right leg planted firmly on the stake, and her hands raised flat. I was a little dazed, and asked her if she had learned martial arts, she said: Stupid, this is dance.
After New Year's Day, my flying saucer is finished.This incident was caused by a fat boy of eight or nine years old, who was brought to the Children's Paradise by his mother, who was a thin, sharp-mouthed, protruding-eyed woman who looked very difficult to deal with. kind.On a snowy day, there was no one in the garden.
