One year old, two years old, three years old, time doesn't care about anything at first, but kittens, dogs, trees and villains can't stop growing up, as if they are a record of consumption for time.Tianci is three years old, and it looks like something.He talks, walks, and is weaned later than ordinary children, but by the time he is three years old, he has everything he needs, except that his eyebrows are not very luxuriant, and everything else can be done.It is not easy for a child to live to be three years old with all his body and tail; even if he works hard to do good, sometimes external forces will blind him in one eye, or break him into a hunchback, or even make him Suddenly died.Therefore, in addition to our own efforts, we must also have some special wisdom, so that our growth will not compete with external forces, like two locomotives colliding with each other.Godsend is worthy of admiration, the past three years have finally been handled well.

Mrs. Niu's enthusiasm is not limited to taking responsibility for making Tianci a kidnapper; she has shaved his eyebrows so many times.This problem is not easy to solve, and it is very dangerous to shave the forehead.Godsend showed his cleverness in this kind of place.The original situation is: the old lady thinks that she must shave frequently, even if Godsend is a stone.As for Tianci, he always thinks that it is his freedom to grow eyebrows or not, and thinks that it is not yet time to grow eyebrows.If the dispute continues like this, there will be no news of the eyebrows, and the knife will always be dangling in front of the eyes, maybe half of the nose may be cut off.Tianci decided to give in, pretending that it was not for himself, but for the old lady Niu, and transported his vitality to his forehead.This is not only to solve small problems and keep the nose, but also the basic method of life philosophy.To be a dog you have to look like a dog, and it's the same with people.Everyone has eyebrows, you can’t do without them, there is no freedom in this area, you can’t grow them pointed upwards like two crescent moons, if you want to grow them, you have to follow the road, Tianci understands this, so by Niu Come out of the horns and stroll on the street.This is a bit slick, but how many old men don't have a bald head?Most of the heads in the coffin are smooth, which is a symbol of "the end of life is a slippery head".It is respectable to enter the coffin with black hair, but it will lose years of life!

Godsend must be slick.The eyebrows are sparse enough to support the appearance, and there is also a hair problem.Especially on that flat head, the grades are too bad.Still have to shave!Is there anything more sad than shaving your head?As soon as you get your hands on it, wash your head until it's as wet as the fish.Then, shave vigorously according to the head, don't raise your neck, don't shake it, don't sneeze; those who have to close their ears to die pretend to be dead, and don't care about their own head at all, as if anyone moved it away. Don't resist.Occasionally, there is a big gash in the scalp; and it is not your own fault.After shaving once, I have to find a second one. The head seems to be a new ball, and it must be brightened.After shaving, it’s still a trivial matter that the brain is dry and uncomfortable. When I rushed to look in the mirror, no matter how good-natured the child was, he had to be pessimistic: the head is not like the head, the ball is not like the ball, it’s so bare that it’s not aesthetically pleasing, I have to compare myself to a chicken that has been blanched and depilated.It would be fine if the scalp was green; but with a heaven-sent scalp, gray and blue, with a layer of white thorns, he could hardly value himself.

Therefore, he decided to grow his hair.When he has a lot of hair and still needs to be shaved, he will pretend to be sick, and when he hears the sound of the shaving, he will announce that his stomach hurts.I already have hair, why do I have to shave it?He asked himself this way, and felt that it was well-founded to pretend to have a stomachache. The eyebrows and hair are perfect, and something is wrong with the face again, and it is getting darker and darker.Wash at least three times a day!Shui is cute, but don't show your face.As soon as the water hits the face, you have to do something wrong. The face is not a thing for holding water.It drills into your eyes, enters your ears, chokes your nose, floods your neck, and does all kinds of evil.What's more, there is soap to help the evildoers. The hot and spicy ones seem to have sprinkled pepper noodles on the eyes and nose; the more anxious you are, the harder they rub, and they rub it endlessly until they rub you into a spicy chicken. It's all spicy.If you can't resist, if you want to raise your head, people will press your neck and press it all the way into the basin, turning your nose into a water pump.You can't help but resist, you have to let others wash it, they think you are addicted, they can simply paste your face with soap foam, in order to make it whiter, for four or five o'clock.God-given method is neither humble nor overbearing, just looking forward to washing his face and making people sick.Forced by the facts, even Tianci would hate him.He didn't feel that his dark face was any obstacle at all, and his dark face didn't hinder him from eating.He didn't know why adults should worry about him.There are many things that he cannot understand, and if you don't ask, you will go wrong.He will learn to mutter to himself, facing the corner or hiding under the table, he will talk to himself: "Table, if you touch Fu Guan's head, Fu Guan will wash your face to see how dark you are! Here you are." Wipe a piece of white soap, the Fuguan is amazing! It’s not the Fuguan who is the best, they are the same as the Fuguan, understand? Smelly bastards!” He refused to name the last compliment, fearing that the table would be passed on to that person, but His ass suffers.

Although Tianci couldn't say it, he felt that life is the accumulation of constraints.The more things you meet, the more constraints you have.He wants to grow up himself, but there is always some force on the outside to find a way to press down.Hands, feet, mouth and nose must be in order, and they must be uncluttered, like puppets held by strings.How beautiful the rainbow in the sky is, huh, don't point at it, point at your rotten finger!Just as he was about to shout, "Look at that big flower ribbon," there was bound to be a voice—"Don't point!" So he drew a semicircle in the air with his finger and put it on his mouth; just as he was about to send it in, It came again: "Don't eat your hands!" So he waved his fingers feignedly, and went to drill his ears, followed by: "Put your hands down!" Where do you think this finger should be placed?With no place to put her fingers, she naturally felt wronged in her heart, but Tianci knew how to try not to cry.He would hold back the tears with the strength of his nose, and secretly ran to a secluded place to imagine the beauty of the rainbow, pointing upwards with his little hands in his pockets.

There are too many things that are not allowed to be done.There are other things that must be done that he is unwilling to do.His small eyeballs are always slipping away, like a motherless puppy crawling along the wall for food.Outside of that ghastly eyeliner, he was able to be somewhat free.For those who do not want to do but have to do, he has to pretend to be happy: when he obeys the order to deliver candy to the guests, he will urge himself in his heart: "Happy! Fuguan doesn't eat it, give it to the guests. Because my mother said that Fuguan is not greedy!" Swallow the saliva, dare love is not as sweet as sugar!

Who knows what he would look like if he had grown by his own nature.What he looks like now is by no means entirely his wish.Three-year-old Tianci looks like this: her face is still in the shape of a wax gourd, and the flesh on her cheeks is still sagging, but there is no opalescence, and sometimes it looks very ugly.The lips are not thickened, but the corners of the mouth are deeply engraved into the cheeks, as if they are swallowing saliva-there are too many guests, and seeing the candy spending but no income, it has to be like this!The nose is turned upwards, and the eyes are buttoned. The former is resistance, while the latter is forbearance, so the conflict between the two makes the eyebrows of Xing Xing always frown; fortunately Xing Xing, otherwise it would be too revealing.A bone grew out of the flat brain, as if it had been knocked out by a pipe or pot.His face was very dark, no matter how much he washed it, it didn't shine, and it only showed a little yellow when he was angry.The body seems a bit too small, so the head is significantly bigger.Kidnapper legs, often because of running hard, the toes rubbed garlic with each other, and fell head-down very painfully.Therefore, he gradually learned how to be cautious. When he was about to run, he added speed to his arms and did not exert force on his legs, just to show some meaning.

The mouth is the most capable.He spoke very late, but once he started to speak, he learned quickly: some difficult meanings, he can manage to come up with a detour.Therefore, his words are not always sweet; sometimes they can make adults stunned.However, he gradually realized that it was hard for him to speak sweetly and sweetly, so he would distinguish between whom he should say less and whom he could speak more; he must be careful in everything.For Si Huzi, for example, he can talk about everything, and he can also learn many new words, such as "smelly bastard", "miscellaneous day's"... To Mrs. Niu, it is best not to say anything. There is nothing wrong with calling "Mom" frequently.

Tianci also has happy moments, so we don't have to complain for him.Going out on the street with Old Man Niu is almost the highest point any child can enjoy.When setting off, he kept his breath away like a cat and mouse, indicating that he would never mess around on the street.Even so, he received many contemptuous advices: "Don't ask for food on the street! Hold Dad's hand carefully! Don't run in the dirt!" His heart was beating, and he rolled his eyes and nodded repeatedly.Once out of the gate, haha, the old man Niu is a gift from God. "Dad, you walk here, so I can kick this little brick. Look! Dad! Look at this little brick, should you kick it or not?" The old cow judged the little brick with his father's qualifications: "Kick it!" , kid, kick!"

"Dad!" Tianci kicked a small brick and saw an orange peel on the ground! "Let's pretend to buy two tangerines, one for you and one for Fuguan. Let's see who eats it faster?" Dad thought there was no need for a competition, and it was best to eat both tangerines.After eating two oranges, at most one-third of a mile was not covered.Dad is never busy.I don't panic.In addition, Yuncheng is a small town—although it is a very important small town—Papa has a lot of acquaintances, and they always have to talk a few words when they see each other. few.They talked, and Tianci picked up all the broken copper, rotten iron and broken teapot lids that should be picked up on the road, and put them in his pockets to increase his property and collection.In addition, father and son have to observe carefully when passing sheep on the road; let alone marrying a daughter-in-law.After such a tiring journey on the road, Tianci's stomach seemed to have lost its bottom, and he was thirsty for a while, and hungry for a while.The father never considers the capacity of the child's stomach. He wants him to drink when he is thirsty and eat when he is hungry.Regardless of whether bananas and tea soup, fried dough sticks and apples, there is something that is not in harmony.He likes Tianci to open his mouth, and he always shows the politeness and politeness of a businessman: "Eat it! Apples are still sweet! Don't eat another one!" This sometimes makes Tianci feel ashamed, so when My stomach is full like a drum, and I know how to show my father a modest retreat: "Dad! Look at those big pears, how beautiful! Fuguan don't want them. I just ate apples, so I don't want pears!" My father was moved: "Buy two pears. Take it home?" Tianci thought for a while: "For Mom?" Dad also thought about it: "Mom doesn't eat pears, so let's give them to Fuguan." Tianci felt that it would be too much to be modest: "Dad, buy three Give one to Mom; if Mom doesn’t want to eat it, I’ll give it to Fuguan.”

The father and son completely forgot the time on the street. Fortunately, Dad didn't eat with Tianci, so he didn't even forget to go home when his stomach felt empty. "Is it time to go back?" Pa suggested.Tianci's belly is full: "Play again, Fuguan is not hungry." Dad has no choice but to tell his weakness: "Dad is hungry!" The son has a way: "Eat a pear?" Dad shook his head: "Dad I want to eat." Dad is fine, but his stomach is a little short; if Dad is not hungry, what does it matter if he doesn't go home for three days?Tianci sighed softly. Almost home, Tianci asked Dad: "Mom, what did you eat on the street?" He imitated the old lady Niu's voice. "Just didn't eat anything, Fuguan is very good, isn't he, Dad?" "By the way," Dad also felt the need to lie, "I didn't eat anything. But don't complain about your stomach ache!" "Don't yell when you have a stomachache, just go to the backyard secretly," Tianci had already made up his mind.For your own enjoyment and freedom, you can't help but be scheming. But things are not so easy.The stomach doesn't hurt in the morning and doesn't hurt in the evening, but it hurts in the middle of the night.Who dares to go to the backyard alone in the middle of the night?Enduring it is impossible: a stomachache is not a stomachache if it can be endured. The next morning, Tianci's eyes sank a lot.Mrs. Niu interrogated her wife.The old cow pleaded not guilty: "I took him out, he was fine; when he came back, he was still fine; his stomach hurts in the middle of the night, could it be my fault?" The old lady issued an order that the father and son were not allowed to go out on the street again.The old man Niu was very sad. If a father doesn't often go to the street to exhibit his son, what's the point of being a father?He shouldn't talk back to his wife, the comfort of his mouth is the pain in his heart, he decided not to resist his wife, at least in words. Tianci is even more bitter: I can't eat anything, I only eat porridge and boiled water all day long, and I don't even have a taste for farting.You are not allowed to go out, just take a little cotton in the house and knead it, the more you knead it, the more boring you are, but you dare not do it, because your mother said this is the best way to play. Tianci felt that there were two kinds of lives, as if they were.Mom's life and dad's life: in mom's life, you don't have to do anything, just listen to mom; in dad's life, you can do anything by yourself without asking others.Naturally he likes his dad's life, but the chances of going out on the streets with his dad are getting less and less.The next best thing is Sihuzi's life. Although Sihuzi can't buy and eat like Dad, on the other hand, he is cuter than Dad.As far as words are concerned: the four tigers can say what no one can think of, and they have to say the most powerful words.He can use one or two words to make people's suffocated emotions come out, like a firecracker.Eating porridge all day long, for example, what words should I use to relieve my suffocation?Si Huzi has a way: "Damn!" These three words can make people happy for a long time, which saves trouble and relieves hatred.There are also "miscellaneous sects", "dog eggs"...these words don't need any detailed explanation, but they are natural, crisp and weighty.Tianci has learned a lot of these words, and when he gets really bored, he will send a few appropriate words to the corner to vent his depression.Sihuzi, in the eyes of Tianci, is almost a poet. "Dudu, are you hungry again? Damn it! That old Dong—" Tianci glanced back and said, "Goddamn!" Feeling much happier.
