Before the new challenge, Xuan Xuan's father taught Xuan Xuan to remember prices and communicate at home, and also took him to the mall to climb to exercise physical fitness and perseverance.

At 15:50 on the 18th, Xuan Xuan's father, who was wearing a green coat, came to a silver-gray old man's car and took out two bags of new toys to be sold this time, including fairy sticks, clapping hands, toy cars, etc. Xuan Xuan, who was wearing a black down jacket on the side, was half a head taller than his father, only to see the father and son constantly high-fived and cheer in front of the car, and shouted "cheers" to each other a few times.
On Saturday, the warm winter sun in Chengdu attracted many families to play on the lawn. From xuan xuan's father's old man's car to the lawn is only 10 steps, the father and son carry toys all the way forward, like a pair of warriors going to the "battlefield". In this dark crowd, not everyone knew Xuan Xuan's story, and how much rejection they faced, every time the father and son did not know.

Before the age of 7, Xuan Xuan was found to have cerebral palsy, autism, thalassemia, epilepsy and other diseases, and Xuan Xuan's father chose to resign in order to accompany the child's recovery. On December 13, a video of him selling toys with his children went out of the circle - Sichuan Daily Weibo posted #Dad resigned to sell toys with his autistic son #Broke 140 million. Then, at 20:00 on December 14, Sichuan Daily Weibo lian Mai XuanXuan's father, the current #Dialogue Chengdu version of Ocean Paradise Father and Son # read 10.02 million, live broadcast 320,000 times.
Under the huge exposure, interviews from all over the country followed, but this family still put the cultivation and companionship of their children in the first place.

"You take it yourself, I'm gone!" Xuan Xuan's father put the toy in Xuan Xuan's hand and signaled Xuan Xuan to sell it independently. At 18:16, Xuan Xuan's practice of selling toys began, and Xuan Xuan's father picked up the selfie stick and walked behind Xuan Xuan.
In the process of selling toys, the Chuanguan News reporter witnessed several "rejections" encountered by Xuanxuan, but Xuanxuan seemed to be used to it, bowing politely with the encouragement of his father and saying "thank you" that was not clear. More residents chose to buy "Xuanxuan brand toys" and let Xuanxuan take the initiative to introduce toys and calculate prices. "Sister, can you buy toys?" Xuan Xuan's words when asking often have to listen to several times to understand, but residents who are willing to buy also understand, some have brushed father and son on the short video, but some are obviously unaware.

Among them, there is nothing more touching than the reaction of some residents. In the communication with Xuanxuan, they quickly discovered Xuanxuan's special from the child's behavior and expression, saw Xuanxuan's father who repeatedly encouraged and guided the child, and quickly understood the family's good intentions. Some simply quickly entered the role with Xuan Xuan's father and "interacted" with the child: "Can you help your sister introduce the toy?" "How about you help your sister calculate how much money?"

This time selling toys, there was also a scene that Xuan Xuan's father did not expect. Xuan Xuan saw two girls sitting on the lawn eating potatoes, and naughtily took a bunch of potatoes on a picnic mat and stuffed them in their mouths. "This is something that has never happened before!" Xuan Xuan's father was startled by Xuan Xuan's actions, and explained to the two girls funny and embarrassed, and then taught Xuan Xuan to exchange "his toy" for "someone else's potato". The two girls also quickly understood the situation, and also smiled and shared the food with Xuan Xuan, and took the initiative to buy Xuan Xuan's small toys.

In fact, selling toys is not a "walk-away action", but also tests the psychological quality and coping measures of parents. Xuan Xuan's father said that every time he went out, he had to overcome his psychological obstacles - to ask himself if he could face the situation of the child, to repeatedly practice the process of selling toys at home, and to prepare sweat towels and toys for the child in the backpack.

Xuan Xuan's father recalled that when he first took Xuan Xuan to sell toys in August this year, Xuan Xuan either took care of himself and played with the toys, or said to himself "sell toys" and "sell toys". At that time, Xuan Xuan's father felt a little confused, but this was what he expected- one of the characteristics of autistic children was that they did not want to look at people.
Fortunately, at a chance, Xuan Xuan's father found a correct way to guide Xuan Xuan. "At that time, there were also many people selling toys near the lawn, and Xuan Xuan saw that there was something he wanted to ask for, so I said to him: 'Daddy has no money now, you can sell the things you have in your hands, you can buy what you want', after saying that Xuan Xuan has the will to go to others." Xuan Xuan's father added: "When Xuan Xuan sells everything, I will let him spend the money to buy what he wants, and the next time he sells toys, his desire will be even stronger." ”

As night falls, the sale of toys is nearing its end. But after Xuan Xuan's father returned, there was one more thing to do. "I use my phone to record the process of my child selling toys, and I have to go back and analyze whether I have misguided myself so that I can adjust next time." I also use the wrong way whenever I do, but if I don't try, I will never know what is wrong. ”
