Chapter 24 Section 23
I'm not good at buying toys for children.
When I was a child, my family was poor and there were no decent toys.There's a leaky inflatable swan, blow it up, and it reverts to a puddle of plastic in three minutes.That is to say, you can only play for three minutes at a time. If you want to play longer, you have to keep blowing it.I didn't bother to play with it at all, but once, a little girl came to my house, she likes inflatable swans, I like her, so I was responsible for blowing the swans for her.After blowing for an afternoon, I felt pain in my lower abdomen, and if I continued blowing, I should have a hernia.
My family is very strict, and my mother agreed with Americans in the late 1970s, believing that children should not play with guns, and they will become bandits when they grow up.Before I was eight years old, I practiced capturing the enemy’s fortress every day in the kindergarten, and when I returned home, I maintained the image of a good boy. Once I just made a gesture with my fingers. I wanted to shoot my father, but my mother slapped me to the bottom of the wall. .When I was seventeen years old, Yang Chi and I went out to fight in groups. The two of us came home with bruised noses and swollen faces, carrying bloody sticks in our hands.
Kindergarten education did not make me braver, nor did my mother's education make me more refined.In my opinion, it is best not to have too much expectations for toys. Every boy who builds blocks is smart, and every girl who plays house is virtuous. Things will change in the future. What it will be, guess it.
Xiao Su said: "Dolls, cars, and books. These three are the safest. I firmly oppose buying guns for little girls."
Yang Chi was more confident, saying: "Children with high IQs play Rubik's Cube." He bought one for the child, broke it up, and spent another five minutes restoring it to its original state.When he was in elementary school, he used to win the favor of countless girls with this skill.Dai Dai squinted at Rubik's Cube, then at Yang Chi.
"what is this?"
"This is called Rubik's Cube. I can teach you how to play it. It's easy to learn." Yang Chi said.
I said to Xiao Su: "He also lied to girls like this when he was a child. I can tell you very clearly that some people are fooled, but no one learns."
Dai Dai took the Rubik's Cube and twisted it twice, then carefully turned it back to its original shape, and said to Yang Chi, "It's fine, I'll return it to you."
We also bought her a doll, a street stall for ten yuan.She took the doll back to the orphanage and went to see it next week, and the toy had been dismembered.She said, "I didn't break it." Carrying a doll without a head, she followed us out of the orphanage.Yang Chi became more frightened as he watched, and asked her to throw the doll away. After thinking about it, she put the headless doll on the roadside flower bed.After walking for a while, she took out a doll's head from her pocket.
Xiao Su bought a fairy tale book to tell her stories, and read "Little Red Riding Hood" according to the script.The ending of the story is that both Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother were eaten by wolves, and then they were gone.The child waited for a long time, and Yang Chi and I also waited for a long time, no, there should be a hunter who came to save them, cut the wolf's stomach open, and they came back to life again.However, in this authentic European fairy tale book, they are indeed eaten, and no one saves them.
Xiao Su said apologetically, "That's how the story is, it's his uncle's."
"I'm afraid," said the child.
I told Yang Chi that we were also scared, how many versions of fairy tales are there?
One day I remembered a fairy tale about a unicorn.My factory doctor sister once told me that unicorns are the purest animals in the world, but also the loneliest.I asked Dai Dai: "Do you know what loneliness is?" She said: "I don't know."
Just don't know.The unicorn is very beautiful, it lives in the jungle, not in the zoo, it looks like a white horse with a horn on the top of its head, but if you think it is a horse, it is a big mistake.It doesn't deal with people, and the foolishness in the world is ignored by it.Although it is lonely, it is never sad about it. As a unicorn, loneliness is its essence.
"and after?"
There is no later.That's all I know about unicorns, and I grew up just like you, listening to some remakes of "Little Red Riding Hood" and couldn't make up a more interesting story.Such a pure and lonely animal like a unicorn, I guess it has no story.I suddenly regretted it again, you said I was talking about unicorns, this fairy tale is also very boring.
The child looked at me sympathetically.Uncle Lu who can't make up a story is so pitiful.
In the early morning, the child had a fever.Yang Chi and I wrapped her in a small blanket and rushed to the emergency department of the Children's Hospital.The temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is easy to get sick. There are a lot of adults and children in the emergency department.The pre-examination nurse took the body temperature and said, "It's less than thirty-nine degrees five, so you can't go to the emergency room." Yang Chi said, "I measured thirty-nine degrees five before going out." The nurse showed us the thermometer, it was thirty-nine degrees.I said, "It's only five points short, give me one." The nurse was a bit stubborn and refused to give it anyway.When I got angry, I climbed onto the nurse's table and knelt there. "Give me a knee, can I?!" The nurse's face flushed.I looked down, damn it, I was in a hurry to go out, I forgot to close the zipper of my trousers, and now it was open to her face, so I quickly zipped it up, let's do it again. "Now I kneel down for you to see!" The nurse said, "You should change to another hospital. They won't be hanged here." I'm standing on the nurse's desk.Now a group of people came to pull me down, the security of the hospital, and the adults in line behind.I was dragged off by them, my hands were gripping the legs of the table, people tried to drag me out, and the table moved out.Someone broke my fingers, I wrapped my legs around the table legs, now please break my thighs. During this process, Yang Chi hugged the child, stepped aside, and took hot water for the child to drink with a thermos cup.We cooperated too tacitly and had a clear division of labor. I was in charge of making trouble, and he was in charge of taking care of the children.At this time, a more experienced nurse came over, leaned over and said to me: "You spread your legs, you make such a fuss, even if I want to register you, I can't do it. How many people are watching from behind." I said, "If I let go, I'd be thrown out. Don't think I don't know." An experienced nurse said, "It's the first time I've seen you so shameless." I said, "Fart, many relatives in my family are doctors, and I know best what to do. We are all Chinese, please be careful with your words. Do you think I like to be shameless?" At this time Yang Chi brought the child over and said, "Take another temperature." The nurse didn't know what to do, so she measured it again, and this time it was fucking off the charts, more than 40 degrees.The nurse followed suit and quickly gave the emergency ticket to register.I immediately stood up from the ground, shook my clothes, and brushed my hair, as if nothing had happened, and followed Lao Yang. "You've had hot water, haven't you?" "Yes." Yang Chi said, "It's the same old way." "If Xiao Su was here, he would definitely go berserk again tonight, and he might even swallow that nurse in one gulp." "Xiao Su can do it." "You were beaten just now." The child opened his eyes and said to me. "No, I was lying on the ground by myself." "why?" "Because sometimes you have to take the initiative to lie on the ground," I said, "but don't learn this, I seldom do it, it's not good to lie on the ground, and you will lose your self-esteem in the future."
In the middle of the night, the child was given an injection and fell asleep, and I chatted with Lao Yang.I said that it was hard for me to imagine that when I had a child in the future, I would have to lie on the ground to register every time I went to the emergency department of the hospital.If it's all like this, I'd rather not have children.Yang Chi said: "By that time, you may have been promoted and made a fortune. You can even let the nurse lie on the ground." I said, "This level is too high, I can't do it." Yang Chi said: "Your level is already It’s very tall, and I’m willing to lie down for the sake of my child. I used to be reluctant to donate even meal tickets.” "Don't mention the meal ticket anymore. It's two different things. I don't have a meal ticket for Dai Dai now." I tried my best to explain to Yang Chi that the child standing at the door of the cafeteria asking for donations, in my opinion, is not a child, but a mirror.I am not eligible to vote for a meal ticket, and I am afraid that he will look up and let me see a face that is exactly the same as mine.As for me lying on the ground, that's not a big deal, I know what I'm doing and what's going to happen to me.It's not a mirror, at most it's just a wretched and ugly costume. Since some people like to look at it, I might as well wear it once. Yang Chi said: "You will know in the future that donating meal tickets is nothing special, and the end will not be worse." I said, "If I were Dai Dai's own father, I would feel very miserable if I lay down like this. It's fine now." Yang Chi said: "Now I feel that I am Dai Dai's real father. She has no other relatives, right?" "It will be taken away soon." "It is inevitable. She is a very healthy child, and she looks very lively, and she can shoot people. Anyone who goes will pick her first. The only problem is that she is a little older. Many people prefer to adopt a baby. Memory, I don’t know that I am an outcast. If she is taken away, I will go to see her. Of course, I will not be her father at that time, and you can call me brother. I will not have a donation like you The psychological barrier of the ticket." "Will the adoptive parents agree? Maybe they will cut off all contact." "Then there is no way." "She may forget you, me and Xiao Su, the child's memory can't fit too many things." I said, "I can't remember anything before I was five years old." Yang Chi was silent.Another thing came to mind, and he said: "A few days ago I took her out on a bicycle, and she stepped on the pedals and sat on the front bar. This is very strange. No one taught her, and it is impossible for the orphanage to let her Riding a bicycle. It means she knew this before. Lin Hua said that she was picked up on the street last year, but she couldn't tell her own background." "Maybe someone took her on a bike before and taught her that." Yang Chi said sadly: "It should be a man, her father? But she doesn't seem to remember anything." After hanging the water, we packed up and went home.The child's fever subsided a little, and it was still dark before we carried the child out of the hospital. It was dark outside, and there was no taxi, so we had to walk back to Pesticide New Village.Fortunately, two people took turns carrying it, so it was not so tiring.The road was silent. I thought she was asleep. After walking for a while, I suddenly heard her talking. "I was thrown out by my dad." Yang Chi and I stopped together, and the child was in Yang Chi's hands.This time is the quietest time of the day. The child added: "I remember my mother died and my father threw me on the street." Yang Chi no longer had the strength to hug her, nor did I have the strength to pick her up.The two of us sat down on the ground by the side of the street, hugging the child, as if we were also abandoned by a huge and nothingness father.
