Return To 1977 Chapter 826: A family
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
Sunday, April 9th, 6:30 in the morning, just like the appointment made in advance yesterday.
Shui Qing took Shui Xiaoying and Hong Yanwu, who had been waiting in the alley, for a secret round, and they set off on bicycles together.
Where is the destination?
No need to ask, of course it’s the Beijing Zoo.
In this era of Beijing, in this season, only this place is the favorite of children.
On the other hand, going to other parks would be too boring for children.
Because we can neither row a boat nor play on swings, slides, cable bridges, etc., the ground is not completely frozen and is still hard.
Then I'm afraid I can only look at the scenery, run around, and then pose for photos under the manipulation of adults.
As awkward as you want, as boring as you want, Shui Xiaoying is not happy to play like this.
As for why I left so early, there are two reasons.
First, it’s a long way to go.
The public transportation system is underdeveloped these days. It’s hard to wait for the bus.
I finally got to the car, but couldn't get in.
Or the bus broke down halfway. These situations are all too common.
So the most reliable means of transportation is a bicycle.
But again, riding from the south of the city to the outside of the Second Ring Road in the west of the city, how can you get there in less than an hour?
Secondly, this is also determined by the animal's habits and activity patterns.
Most animals only play in the early morning.
If you wait until the breeder has finished feeding them, they will have enough to eat and drink, and then it’s time to find a sunny place to sleep.
For example, if someone visits the zoo and rushes to the panda house at nine o'clock, he will probably see the pandas climbing on the stone bridge, playing with tires, doing somersaults and so on. It was a worthwhile trip.
But if it is after ten o'clock, you can only see the "national treasures" holding bamboos and eating intently.
Wait until half an hour later, and I’m afraid I’ll only be able to see someone with a big belly and a round butt.
Because it’s time for pandas to find a place to sleep in the sun.
So, this kind of timing is a wise move.
Of course, it would be impossible to go without breakfast so early. Hong Yanwu would never let Shui Qing and the children go hungry.
So he took them to the "Niu Street" for a stop.
The crispy sesame pancakes freshly baked are sandwiched with the fragrant roast beef, and then the hot "bean soup" is eaten down before continuing to set off.
When we arrived at the zoo after eating and drinking, it was almost ten minutes before eight o'clock, just in time for the animals to be most active.
Pandas rolling around, ligers roaring, bears doing morning exercises, monkeys making trouble in the mountains, they all caught up.
There are not many tourists at this time, so it is not a crowded time. The view is very good and there is no shortage of seats.
Hong Yanwu also spent 50 cents to buy a large bag of yellow puffed corn kernels (not popcorn), which he could feed both children and animals.
So not only Shui Xiaoying sat on Hong Yanwu's neck and watched happily, but Shui Qing also held her hands and laughed from time to time.
I didn’t expect the animals in the zoo to be so amused, it was almost like watching a circus show.
Especially in Gouxiong Mountain and Houer Mountain, these two girls stayed there for a long time.
After playing like this until about nine o'clock, when Hong Yanwu saw more and more tourists entering the park, he quickly found a seat for his mother and daughter to rest.
Then we took them to the deep north of the park. After seeing the elephants and rhinos, we went to the Deer Park, which is the least crowded area.
It stands to reason that besides cattle and sheep, the Deer Garden contains deer and donkeys. It should be the most boring place in the entire park. Most tourists here are just looking at the flowers.
But because Hong Yanwu had the experience of accompanying his daughter in his previous life, he specially brought shredded vegetables cut by a knife practitioner in his bag.
Here, Shui Xiaoying's innocent happiness is fully released.
At first, this girl was a little scared of being in close contact with animals, but once she started feeding the animals through the cage, she began to experience the fun.
Finally, she completely broke away from the adults' hands and began to take the initiative to get close to them.
After feeding this one, he fed that one again, without pulling down any of the cages. They ran next to each other, very lively.
The herbivores were also very fond of Shui Xiaoying, and they all rushed to eat from her hand.
Some bared their teeth, some raised their necks, some pressed her hands, and some shouted twice.
Some people are so shameless that they just pee in hot urine.
Only sika deer are the most lovable, because they not only only know how to eat, but also lick people's hands gently.
This left a very good impression on Xiaoying, and from then on she thought they were the most humane beasts in the world.
When the child is happy, Shui Qing is also happy.
Not only did she feed the animals with her children, she also fulfilled the educational responsibilities of an excellent mother. She took the opportunity to tell her children about the characteristics of various animals and taught Xiaoying how to identify them.
They played in this entertaining and educational way until half past ten. They did not leave until all the food they had brought was fed.
Then we turned to the west of the park and went to the Reptile House.
But here, Xiaoying is no longer the well-behaved person she was just now, and starts to act naughty and mischievous.
There are cold-blooded animals such as tortoises, crocodiles, pythons, and lizards in the reptile pavilion. The light is very dark and scary, and the space is particularly transparent and spacious.
When people speak a little louder in the library, their voices become particularly bright.
This girl yelled at the top of her lungs just to hear the echo.
The result was just as she expected. As expected, many choruses popped up when she sang "Buy for Rags", and it had quite an eye-catching miraculous effect.
But this also made Shui Qing blush and talk about her immediately.
"You are a girl, so you have to be polite when you go out. This is not at home."
Unexpectedly, the more he talked, the more energetic Shui Xiaoying became. Like a stubborn little donkey, he kept braying, making others look at him and laugh.
In the end, Hong Yanwu intervened and explained to Shui Xiaoying what was going on with the echo, and she was willing to stop.
No need to ask, I won’t be happy to stay here if the water is clear.
One is angry with Xiaoying, and the other is tired of the animals here.
They went to the nearby waterfowl lake again.
Don't look at Shui Xiaoying nestling in Hong Yanwu's arms, feeding puffed corn kernels to the swans and wild ducks, but Shui Qing's qi cannot be eliminated easily.
Sitting by the lake, she was still complaining that Xiaoying was born in the wrong child.
She was supposed to be a wild boy, but she just walked into the wrong door and became a little girl. Her temperament has not changed, and she has nothing like a docile, kind, smart or sensible girl.
She also said that thanks to Hong Yanwu's control today, this girl can be obedient.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu actually smiled and scolded her instead.
"Xiaoying is only five years old this year, which is the time when chaos has not yet begun. I have only been happy for a few years, so why do you bother to hold her back?"
"Besides, you have to distinguish whether a child's pranks are due to boredom or curiosity. I think Xiaoying was probably curious just now. Isn't this just curiosity?"
"Children actually have a strong sense of resistance. If a child does something wrong, adults must not come up and rebuke them in a condescending manner. They should try to reason with understanding. I'm afraid Xiaoying is still willing to listen to me. The reason for the words.”
"As for you, I think your patience is almost exhausted by working overtime. I think you have to learn the proper 'soup thing'. Because you have to be serious about everything at work, so you have to You are exhausted. And if you are anxious, you will not be able to do well in life and work, and it will become a vicious cycle."
These words left Shui Qing speechless.
Through this incident, she felt more and more that Hong Yanwu understood the child and her very well.
Thinking about everything he had arranged today, everything was so comfortable, and she became more and more convinced that he would be a good, considerate father and husband.
What’s interesting is that she is not the only one who has this idea, even Shui Xiaoying said the same thing.
"Uncle Wu Zi, I like you so much. Dad always says he is busy with work and refuses to take me to the park. Why aren't you my dad? How great it would be if you were!"
The child's sudden words made Shui Qing's face turn red.
Hong Yanwu was a little excited, so he followed the words and asked.
"Hey, you little girl is really good at complimenting people. Well, from now on we Xiaoying will have two dads. It doesn't matter if that dad is busy, I, the dad, will take you out to play. How about it?"
Shui Xiaoying rolled her eyes.
"Then...then you just take me to the park to play?"
"Hey, what other conditions do you have?"
"I want to eat marshmallows..."
"It's easy, we'll buy it soon."
"I still want to eat chocolate?"
"Buy it too."
"Where's the jelly beans? The big jujube?"
"Buy them all!"
Shui Qing is so angry and funny, there is no way to say that one is bigger than the other.
It seems that eating someone else's mouth is short, and taking someone else's hand short is a truth that is universally applicable.
However, she also felt very happy when she saw Shui Xiaoying being intimate with Hong Yanwu like twisting candy,
Because in her eyes, the two of them really looked like a biological father and daughter.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the warm scene of the three of them sitting together also deeply moved an outsider.
A photographer squatting next to a waterfowl lake to take pictures of waterfowls felt that under the sunshine and the sparkling silver light of the water, the appearance, expression, clothing and behavior of the family of three by the lake were all so perfect.
So I quickly moved the lens, adjusted the focus without anyone noticing, and pressed the shutter button for the candid photo.
The moment the camera froze, it happened to capture the scene of Hong Yanwu lifting Shui Xiaoying up high and Shui Qing stroking her hands and smiling beside her.
In this way, a year later at the 13th National Photography Art Exhibition, a photo that should not have appeared won the silver medal in the black and white category.
The photographic work named "Lifting the High Child" coincides with the theme of "Looking at the Girl" which won the silver medal in the color category. The two photos complement each other.
Together, they have become clear evidence of the happy life of the people in the early days of reform and opening up, and will forever be recorded in the history of photography in our country.
Actually, this means that no one knows the story.
Otherwise, judging from this aspect, even if "Lifting Up Children" is awarded a gold medal, it is a matter of course.
