A letter to Chen Chen on Children's Day in June 1, 2022
Chenchen:
Happy Children's Day today!
Yesterday, I saw a photo of your mother celebrating June 1st in the kindergarten in the WeChat of "Chenchen Growth": you wore a small red tiger pattern with a belly white costume on your chest and the class's small classmates were active on the kindergarten lawn, and there were photos of yourself meditating alone, in fact, a little earlier, it was you who held a large number of balloons in front of the kindergarten porch in the morning and took photos excitedly...
Chenchen, you have grown up!
And I, for a long time, haven't written to you.
From june 1 last year to June 1 this year, your changes have grown geometrically.
Last summer, you were still carrying a yellow water gun in the yard of grandma's house, chasing after grandma, spraying mom, spraying grandma, who made you stop, you got more and more energetic, you couldn't listen to it at all. The same is true of falling water balloons, but this year, we can often discuss some activities, which to do first, which to do in the second step...
Last spring, I and my grandmother, my mother took you to the Qipan Mountain Zoo for the second time to see the pandas, the wind is very strong, you still have a fondness to choose the biggest panda doll in the panda museum, we plan to go to the Anshan Zoo to see the pandas, Grandpa Liu's classmate Liu called from Dalian several times to invite us to take you to the Dalian Zoo to see the pandas, but the epidemic is there, no way. The other day of this year, I brought up the topic and asked if you still want to go to see the pandas, and you said you wouldn't go! Very clear expression, very rational!
On the last day of August last year, you went to kindergarten.
Like all new children, you showed attachment to your family, and although you did not cry, your mood was low, and you did not want to let go of your mother's clothes or the corners of your grandmother's clothes. We started by trying to send you over in the morning, pick you up after lunch, and not sleep in the garden. Three days later, you stayed in the kindergarten until three o'clock in the afternoon and then you were picked up, you were looking forward to being picked up, you had been guarding the orange teacher, you were not too much in the group with the children, at that time, you only had seven children in the koala class, you were the oldest, but you were not tall there, you liked a round face, big eyes, combing long hair of the girl Youyou, later, when I was waiting in front of the kindergarten to pick you up from school, I saw Youyou's mother and grandmother, it turned out that Youyou also had a sister in your kindergarten. It's just in the big class, Youyou cold leave did not come, you and the teacher said to call Youyou's home! You're really on the phone with Youyou!
During last year's National Day, you followed us to the mouth of the Liaohe River to see the red-crowned crane, you told your aunt that the red-crowned crane did not bite people, and the red-crowned crane chased after her aunt and nagged her back, giving you enough excitement! This spring, I went to the mouth of the Liaohe River to see the red-crowned crane, and you pushed me behind me step by step closer to the red-crowned crane, and you ran back with your legs, I asked you what to run? You said you were afraid he would nag me! Since then, you remember the Liaohe estuary, you said that there are red-crowned cranes in the Liaohekou, Luoluo's grandparents and mothers have also gone, Steady and grandparents have also gone, the wind is very strong, you are very excited to say let's go to Grandpa Tian's piece to see the spotted seals! Grandpa Tian Jiguang hung a "Panjin Wetland Conservation Association" sign in the Great White Building of the Sandaogou Pier at the mouth of the Liaohe River, there is a marine library upstairs, and there is a wetland nature museum, you are excited to see those pictures, especially like the spotted seal photos on that wall, you wear yellow outdoor clothes and tiptoe up to take a photo in that background, very charming...
Last year, you had a lot of fun at Crab Park, just the past two weeks, we have been to twice, each time, you are not happy, there is a small train, a carousel, a duck boat... , you love to sit, sand, you also love to play, all kinds of bubbles, you like, only from the pirate ship, you say I am dizzy, I will never go up again...
Since late last fall, the adults in the family have been torn over whether you have adenoidal surgery. Don't do it, definitely not, you snore when you sleep, the upper lip is upturned and deformed, affecting the eardrum depression. Dad took you to Liaobin Panjin People's Hospital to shoot a film, Grandma passed your film to Grandma Shi in Beijing, she passed the film to the director of Beijing Children's Hospital to see, and also helped contact the hospital that did the operation, helpless, the epidemic started again, we had to go to Shenyang Shengjing Hospital, your performance in that period can indeed be described as remarkable, Grandma is very moved, you are very remarkable!
I still remember the day of the operation, my mother began to push you from the ward with a small bed to the waiting area next to the outside of the operating room and was asked to come out, I was in the outermost waiting area, through the gap between the doctor and the nurse to open the door, saw you alone wearing a blue striped small hospital gown, a person sitting on a small white bed, there were no relatives around, waiting for the doctor to give you full anesthesia, sent to the operating room for surgery, you had a calm expression, did not cry or make trouble, usually said that you were timid, at that moment, I knew your strength...
You had adenoid surgery and you had your tonsils removed...
Surgery back to the ward, can not eat, can only let you lick a lick of ice cream, you did not cry and did not make trouble, until discharged, you did not cry and make trouble like some children in the same ward ..., from the hospital back to Panjin, Grandpa said to take you to K11 bar, because we came to Shenyang in the night before entering the hospital hospitalization, Uncle Zijia and Aunt Yiming
The whole family invited us to dinner there, bought you bulldozer and excavator toys for Chenchen, and bought you a big inflatable dinosaur that could be dragged on a rope, and whenever you died in that space outside the hospital ward, you had to hold the big dinosaur for a while. Grandpa said to take the dinosaurs to inflate before leaving! You happily agreed, and when you're done, you hurry grandpa Zhang Luo, let's go home!
I asked you if you missed home? You nodded.
At the end of January this year, after watching your grandmother for more than three years, you still often mention her and say that you miss her. I remembered that my neighbor Grandpa Dai said that his nanny had taken his granddaughter Doudou for three and a half years and left, and Doudou never mentioned it. It can be seen that the feelings between you and Your Grandma are sincere with each other, she brought you with her heart, and you really miss her. I said in my heart that those who know well and are grateful for their fate are generally very good. I believe!
Chenchen, your progress is not only a change in language and thinking, you are growing a body, and your physical strength is constantly changing. Grandpa thinks you're too quiet, a little bit of fierceness. More than once, we drove you to Grandpa Li Tao's house in Huanxiling, in order to meet the two little brothers of Grandpa Li's family who returned there on weekends and holidays, and they would take you to chase big roosters, chase cats and dogs, chase geese, watch ducks, carry soil with earth baskets, dig soil with shovels, and jump down from a high place...
Your skill in riding a balance bike is getting stronger and stronger, you go to grandpa's unit yard to ride, you like uphill and downhill, you occasionally go to grandma's unit backyard parking lot to ride two laps, you ride by the lake in front of the eco-hotel, you swoop down from the big boat, people and cars are separated, you grit your teeth and say Grandma, save me, you hold me in one hand and hold the car in the other! At this time, he still arranged for me to live!
The most serious thing so far is that Saturday morning in the middle of April, Grandpa took you to ride a balance bike up and down the arched bridge in the seventh district of the ecological park, and when you were swooping south from the highest point of the bridge at a fast speed, there was a white jeep just opposite, Grandpa shouted at me, I rushed over, I didn't hold you, and as a result, I threw you out, your left forehead was broken, your left hand was bruised twice, Grandpa said Hurry up and go to the hospital, you cried while saying let's hurry up and go to the hospital!
This reminds me of the Saturday before the biggest snow last winter, it was also snowing, your mother was going to take classes online in the afternoon, I and grandpa, Aunt Chen Xi, and Haida were all at your house, your father was also at home, you went to your mother's bedroom to take your mother's lotion and spray it into your eyes, and then you cried, shouting to go to the hospital! Go to the emergency room! You arrived at the ophthalmology department of the hospital emergency department, no one needs to say you, you obediently let the doctor examine your eyes, give you eye drops, you obediently cooperate with the doctor, even the doctor of the ophthalmology department sighed that this child is too cooperative and sensible...
We ask you if you can't spray something on your eyes next time? You can't say it. Experience teaches. We say spraying others doesn't work either.
Since last winter, you have been fascinated by "Returning from Target Shooting", listening to various versions, you can distinguish between Huo Yong singing, Yan Weiwen singing, Tan Jing singing, Blu-ray band singing, you point, you listen, you can sing yourself, listen on the way to kindergarten, listen on the way to school, listen when playing at home, listen before going to bed.
Since March this year, you have become interested in "I Am a Soldier", the frequency of the previous "Return from the Target", and that mode, who can hear who sings, and sometimes test who I and grandpa can hear who sang? Of course, I sang very seriously.
Now, when you listen to and sing "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" every day, and sing that part of "She persisted in the Eight-Year War of Resistance, She Improved the People's Livelihood, She Built The Enemy's Rear Base Areas, And She Practiced Democracy For Many Benefits," you say that this sentence is too long, and then you listen to it over and over again...
We were amazed that you liked such an imposing song, Grandpa said that one Saturday took you to the City Hall Square, you sang a solo under the five-star red flag "The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, how loud the victory song is...", and some old ladies who are watching heard that you were only three and a half weeks old, and praised you for being amazing!
Those ancient poems that the younger children would memorize, as well as the "Three Character Classic", "Disciple Rules", and "Kasa Weng Rhymes", have forgotten...
Your range of literacy has expanded further, you don't know when you learned, one day, you let me search for songs on the "browser", you said you write! Grandma, I just can't write...
You take the mobile phone, will quickly open my and grandpa's mobile phone password, call the grandparents, take pictures, video, video, video, voice, you will also take the grandma's mobile phone to complete the sweep of the payment shopping, of course, you will use the "Little Red Book" to choose animation programs, use "cool dog music" to listen to those big songs you like...
In this way, it is not good or bad!
From last year's June 1st to this year's June 1st, I am glad that you have made progress every day, and I am glad that you have not only grown taller, but also that we will often have serious conversations, and the way you answer the phone is very interesting! That day, Grandma was driving, you and Grandpa were sitting in the car, you tugged grandpa's glasses back and forth, grandpa asked you to see if I was a bully? You laughed and tilted your head, "Neither is it. "Grandpa and I laughed too...
In Grandma's eyes, you are four months old, grandma wants to tell you that June 1 is a holiday for you and all the children in the world, it was also a holiday for your parents and parents, and it was also a festival for grandparents and grandparents. It was in November 1949 that the International Federation for Democracy held a Leningrad meeting of its directors in Moscow, which designated June 1 every year as International Children's Day. To mourn the children killed by the German fascists in June 1942 in the czech village of Lidice and all the children who died in the war worldwide, as well as to guarantee the rights of children.
Knowing the history of Children's Day, it is not just to master a little more knowledge!
Chenchen, today is Children's Day, the sunshine is just right! Grandma wants you not only happy holidays, but also peace and health every day! Grandma also hopes that you will change your little willfulness, don't lose your temper without moving, when you encounter things, crying and making trouble will not solve anything, remember to express your thoughts well. Do you remember the time in early April when Grandpa criticized you in the supermarket, and you were angry and lying on the ground crying and couldn't get up? Grandpa said that playing lai was not a good idea.
ChenChen, Grandma doesn't want to tell you much truth, I just want to make a little more records for you, to help you grow up to be able to make up a little more of the part of the memory you didn't remember, in fact, we left a lot of photos and videos, I want to make up some text! Who told you to tell your little patients when you were in the hospital that my grandmother was a writer? If you're a writer, write a few more lines! Let's progress together, okay?
Love your grandma
Chen Sujin
