Story: A turtle is flying – a day in the South

During this time, the cubs mixed well in the pile of friends, and the teacher also received some praise. It was a tasteful day.

The same days, mom is a different taste. From time to time, an incomparably sad picture appeared in front of her eyes——

A twenty-eight-year-old boy fell from a five-meter-high scaffolding, and when he landed, his head rested on the bottom of the steel pipe, causing his head to crack, convulsing on the spot, and eventually becoming a vegetative person.

In addition to making my mother sympathize with this matter, there was also a deep sense of guilt, because the young man had an accident while making a sculpture, and the sculpture was designed by her.

Although the company that undertook the sculpture did not shirk its responsibility, and no one accused the mother of designing the sculpture for that company, this matter still became a deep shadow, and it could not be dissipated in the mother's heart. She even thought of changing careers, but after more than a few years, nothing had changed, but she was physically and mentally exhausted.

Do you want to continue to sit and eat the mountain? She wondered what else she would do besides her profession. Suddenly realized that I was extremely small—

After school, as soon as the cub left the school, he saw his mother waiting for her there, ran over and asked, "What's the matter?" Mom said, "Nothing!" The cub said, "Why is the expression different from every day?" ”

"Little fart!" Mom smiled, took the cub's hand and left.

"Shall we discuss something as we go?"

"I'll just say there's something wrong!"

Mom said there was a company that wanted to hire her to do a full-time job.

"Where's the company?" The cub asked casually.

"It's a city in the south, and I decided to sign a contract with them." Mom looked at the cub a little mysteriously and said, "You know what? They have a very good environment there, there are a lot of moso bamboo forests, and there are many flowers that we only see in the flower market here. ”

"You know, I haven't been to the South!"

"So you say we're going now?" Or go? Or go? The mother stared into the cub's eyes.

"Then I have to think about it, is it going?" Or go? Or go? The cub glanced at her mother, and her expression was very calm.

In fact, without discussion, the cub must have agreed, because in addition to advocating freedom, she also had the consciousness of understanding her mother, and after naughtiness, she agreed without suspense.

"Good! Then we'll go to school tomorrow to get out of school."

"Good!"

Two people hit it off.

The class teacher understood her mother very well and quickly assisted her in handling the procedures for the cub to take a one-year suspension from school and then follow the class. The teacher told her mother that the cubs' suspension from school would have no impact on mathematics and Language, and she especially trusted the Cubs' ability to learn Chinese. But emphasize that mothers should pay more attention to the English of their cubs. After the mother promised the teacher, she took the cub and left the school temporarily.

The cub and her mother traveled to almost all the bookstores in the city to buy enough books for the cubs to get off school. Then the two men boarded the train to the south.

Mom's office is on the second floor of the company, and the cub's study desk is just behind Mom's desk, and the class schedule is pasted in the corner of the table. At first glance, it really looks like that.

Cub also self-styled as the mother's "little secretary", if the mother is not there when the phone calls in, she will go to the book seriously, and record the content, and wait for the mother to return to the original information.

This kind of work that the mother does, every day there will be people from various departments to come to her to say things, the cub sits in the back and seems to study hard, but most of the time quietly pays attention to the content and way of talking to the adults. After the person left, she would unceremoniously tease her mother.

"Mom, you can also hold garlic!" Compared to when no one is around, it is like two mothers! ”

"Garlic must be packed!" Mom said, "Wouldn't it be okay if I talked to them like you did?" Then he stood up and took the form of a big bad wolf.

"It doesn't seem like it works." The cub blinked and went to his own class.

Someone came again, and the mother immediately sat back in the chair, withdrew the face of the big bad wolf, and said calmly and calmly: "Please come in!" ”

The person who came was an account manager, and he said to his mother: "The customer of those few celebrity portraits asked you to adjust it on the spot. After saying that, there was a look of anticipation in his eyes.

"Let's go!" Mom followed the household managers out the door with a smile that had become the face of a big bad wolf. The cub then "took advantage of the fire" and immediately lay down in front of his mother's computer and went into "Obi Island".

Cub knew that none of those celebrity portraits had been done well. It can be seen that this time the mother will not come back too quickly, because she heard the account manager say that it is the customer who asks the mother to adjust it, that is to say, the mother needs to adjust several portrait sculptures one by one until the customer is satisfied. There are several of them, and it will be a long time to swim in "Orbi Island"!

"Fuck—well—"

"Mom! Why did you come back so soon? The cub was having fun, and the mother suddenly pushed the door in, pulled the long tune and asked:

"And robbing him again?"

"I just finished a math paper, got out of class, wanted to play for a little while, this is not the beginning, you are back." 」

The cub closed "Orbi Island" as fast as he could. Then he asked his mother with a hippie smile, "You changed all those portraits?" ”

"Nothing."

"Then why did you come back?" The cub returned to his place.

"Only one change, the others just make an intention, but I promised them that they would adjust them one by one." They believed it, so they signed it. They now talk about the price of the next relief, and I'll sneak back first. ”

When the cub heard this, he said unhurriedly, "It turns out that you are also taking advantage of the fire to rob!" If there is a child, there must be a mother! ”

"Hey!" Mom nodded at the corner of the table and said, "If there is a mother, there must be a child, right?" ”

"Hey! hey! The cub covered his face with a book and deliberately shifted his target with a laugh.

The climate in the south is a little hot, but the plants that are rare in the north have long made the cubs ignore the steamer-like heat outside. Whether it is in the company or traveling with her mother, as long as she has the opportunity, she runs out. When you come back, you must hold at least a few leaves that your mother can't name, some round, some flat, some slender... The cubs all sandwiched them in a picture book.

When they are quiet, the cubs will often tell their mother some folklore about plants. Mom didn't know where she had learned it, and sometimes it sounded a little interesting.

Cub said that a long time ago, there was a Li boy in the south, who liked the thrush very much and never did anything to hurt it. As a token of gratitude to the young man, the thrush led him down a path where he could get milk beads. The young man went through all kinds of hardships and finally got the milk beads. Later, the young man saw that many children of poor families and many orphans had no milk to eat, and they were very pitiful, so they resolutely swallowed the milk beads and turned themselves into a rubber tree, and since then, the rubber tree has continuously flowed out of white milk, feeding many children who have no milk to eat.

There are not only such legendary stories. For some precious plants, the cub will also tell its ins and outs. For example, the word "lychee" comes from the Western Han Dynasty, and the ancient name is lychee, which means to eat away from the branch. Lychee cultivation began in the Qin and Han Dynasties, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and before the Tang Dynasty, lychees had become the tribute of the imperial palace. Whenever she listened to what the cub said, her mother listened very carefully.

It is also said that "a red dust concubine laughs, no one knows that it is a lychee coming"; "three hundred lychees a day, do not quit being a Lingnanian". Du Mu and Su Dongpo can render it so sparingly, thinking that the lychee must have something extraordinary.

There was also the dragon's eye, which the cub said was dug up by Nezha from the third prince of the East Sea Dragon King, and used the dragon's eye to save a poor child. A hundred years after the child, a tree grew on the grave, bearing many fruits like dragon's eye, and the people plucked it, peeled off the flesh inside and ate it, and then planted the remaining cores in the ground, and later grew many large trees. Hence the name longan tree. Since then, the longan tree has taken root everywhere, and anyone who eats the fruit of the longan will be strong and strong...

Where the cub sees and talks, it is always set up one by one. Mom admired her spirit of inquiry.

With the frequent business trips, the mother began to sympathize with the cubs. Regardless of the weather, it is common to get up at four or five o'clock in the morning. The company arranged for them to stay in this hotel, the conditions are quite reasonable. But then you can't leave the cubs in the hotel. Cubs have a nickname for their mother's acquaintances called Wolf Tail! Mom said, don't throw your tail away no matter what!

Mom's condition through the company is that the company must allow her to take her cub to work.

However, allowing permission, this time is long, there will still be some awkwardness. Of course, if the cubs could listen to the boss and agree to call people to daddies, maybe the situation would be different.

For the cubs, what a dry daddy wet daddy, not only listens to the confusion, but also speaks awkwardly. Because in her feelings, in addition to her father, other men only have three titles of brother, uncle, and grandfather, and she really doesn't know what a dry father is. The cub said, why did he let me call him Daddy as soon as he said he liked me? I also like myself, is it true that I am also a dry father? It can be seen that she never took this seriously. Whether people are entertaining or gifting, even larger baits do not work. The cub's usual reason is: you don't look like a dry daddy, so you can't call, if you look like, I'll call. But who can imagine what it would look like to be like a dry daddy? In the end, some people said that she was smart; some said that she was stupid; some said that she was very good at pretending to be confused; and some people said that this child was too cunning. But no matter what people say, she just insists on not calling.

Not calling daddy originally nothing, but not in front of the mother, the boss's original amiable sense of elders is not so full. This change is a common human condition, natural and beyond reproach. However, the sharp-eyed, brain-loving upper-class employees in the company are a bit of that, and the heat of the cubs is greatly cooled. The others were fine, but the executive vice president obstructed the cub's actions at every turn.

At a party, the mother did not attend, the vice president actually dragged the cub out of the activity team, the cub not to mention how unhappy, sadly walked to the mother's office, hands kept comparing, the mouth also a string of grinding: "Draw a circle to curse you!" Draw a circle..."

A loud voice came from behind, and when the cub looked back, it turned out to be the vice president who had fallen to the ground on all fours. The cub couldn't help but laugh and ran to his mother's side and said, "That big idiot has been punished!" ”

The wife of the boss of the company is very beautiful, and everyone calls her the boss lady. Saying she has a posture is what mom means. To let the cub's words, she is far worse than her mother.

Probably all the children in the world are like this, no matter what their mother looks like, they are better than others. Don't look at the cubs in private, the mother is called the yellow-faced woman, ugly, but if you want to compare with others, you always feel that your mother looks the smoothest.

From the day the lady boss saw the cub and the mother, there was a feeling that the cub could not speak clearly. When she told her mother about this feeling, her mother smiled and said, "Women with split personalities are like this!" Remember, the company invited us to work, and it was only natural that we exchanged our labor for money. You just have to stand up and look up, don't run into trouble, and study hard! There is never a need to pay attention to her eyes and expressions. ”

Cub Er was still a polite child, but later when he talked about the boss lady in private, he simply didn't call the aunt an old lady! After listening to it, my mother smiled and lay on the table, and when she got up, she praised " Old ladies - just call her old ladies!" ”。

Speaking of this old lady, there is really a funny story between her and the cub. The old ladies have no job in the company, but they always appear in the company, especially when the boss and the mother talk, she will always suddenly appear at the door, and maintain the frequency of ten seconds to probe the head, standing there. This is true in either mom's office or the boss's office. Until her mother or boss leaves, she will walk gracefully.

Mom should go on a business trip again. This time, in addition to the driver, the old ladies also followed, on the grounds that they were going to see a friend by the way. Mom knew in her heart that she was a supervisor, because the place where the business trip was a bit far away, there were cubs following, and there would be some unnecessary breakage if it was not balanced. How can people bear it?

The car sped along the highway, and Mom and Cub sat in the back seats, whispering and laughing from time to time.

The clock was pointing to 12 o'clock, but there was still a long way to go from the destination, and the car stopped in a service area to prepare for lunch here.

The cub followed her mother, came to the restaurant without hurrying, and then quickly walked to the window.

"What do you eat?" The old ladies looked at the cub's back with some displeasure and asked.

"She chooses herself, leave her alone, we'll just eat ours."

As soon as the mother's voice fell, the old ladies immediately showed a smile and said, "Then let's have three 15 yuan fast food!" ”

"Good!" Mom and the driver agreed in unison.

The cub took out 50 yuan and said to buy a set meal, and the waiter told her that the maximum was only thirty yuan.

The cubs walked over with their fast food full of spring breeze, put it on the table where the old ladies were, and sat down and waited.

The old ladies squinted at the cub's dinner plate, and a hint of awkward expression swept across her face. She just wanted to get up and avoid when her mother came back with a fast food and sat down next to the cub. Then the driver returned with a fast food, the driver put the plate in front of the old ladies, looked at the cub's meal and smiled, and turned to get his own plate.

The old ladies had to barely stabilize and said softly, "Let's eat first!"

Mom smiled at her and said to the cub, "Eat! ”

The driver quickly returned to the table, and everyone chatted and ate. Suddenly, the cub picked up a large piece of braised meat from his plate and put it in the old ladies' vegetable bowl, smiled and squinted, and said, "Auntie eat it!" ”

"You eat! You eat! The old ladies' hand on the cubs was obviously not in their own design, and the beautiful face brushed red.

"I have a lot here!" The cub did not look at her face, and took two more pieces to give to her mother and the driver master, and the mother and the driver even said" Thank you!" Thanks a lot! ”。 For a time, the table was lively, and the faces of the old ladies could finally be in harmony with the atmosphere at this time.

The red morning sun hangs in the east of the southern town, and the morning glow of half the sky makes a small town that has entered the late autumn feel warm. Cub and her mother sat in the breakfast restaurant across the road from the hotel where they stayed, eating breakfast leisurely.

The old ladies had finished their makeup, and the flowers and branches walked in, asked for an early breakfast, sat across from their mothers, and after smiling with their mothers, they cocked their orchid fingers and picked up fritters to eat.

The cub was full and got up and left his seat.

The mother pointed to the cubs who walked out the door, smiled and said to the old ladies, "You eat slowly, I'll go and see!" ”

"Okay! Good! The old ladies flashed a hint of disdain from the corners of their smiling eyes, thinking: I have to pay you for breakfast again.

The old ladies ate the last sip of fritters, took out a paper towel that exuded a fragrance, wiped the lipstick that was covered with lipstick, but the lipstick had been eaten and crippled, and then gently threw it in the garbage basket under the table. Standing up, "Quack-Ga-Ga ”

"Oh! The little sister with three pigtails had already paid the bill. ”

"Huh?" After the old ladies' orchid fingers stayed in the handbag for three seconds, they seemed to draw back a little angrily, and the handbag closed with a "ka" sound. The body twisted, "Quack-Ga-Ga

The Spring Festival is coming, the company's business in recent days is very busy, there is a lot of work that needs to be completed before the festival. In order to finish work quickly, my mother had to do it herself. His work has long since gone beyond his job. So I can spend less and less time sitting in the office every day. The cubs have also completed all the courses of the fourth grade, and since yesterday, they will either conduct a general review or flip through the fifth grade textbooks. The mother also relaxed her control on her studies a little, so that the cubs obviously felt a lot more free time. Except for half an hour a day on "Orbi Island", she spends most of her time on the grass outside, drawing, sitting and reading, and lying in reverie.

The company finally had a holiday, and my mother didn't want to participate in those boring activities, so she left the company with her cubs a day before others. They walked down the street, swaying in a slight cold wind, releasing the depression, exhaustion and all the irritability of half a year.

"Mom, are we in the hotel for the New Year?" The cub took her mother's hand and raised the cartoon doll's face.

"You say, you're the boss!" The mother gave the decision to the cub.

"I said let's spend it in the hotel, go out and play when you want to, and come back after enough to clean up and cook by yourself, it's cool."

"That's it!" The mother has always respected the reasonable opinion of the cub.

The easy days always pass too quickly, and the conversation reaches the Chinese New Year's Eve. During the Spring Festival, the hotel has no festive atmosphere, the guests are gone, and the restaurant is closed. Thankfully, there were some snacks sold before. In the hotel, the cub and her mother could barely hear anything but the sound of the TELEVISION in the room. If you want to eat, you have to go out and look for it. However, even if it is a bowl of instant noodles, the cubs and mothers are also happy to eat.

I went to work on the sixth day of the first lunar month. On the evening of the fifth day of the first year, the cubs and their mothers came back early, and they sat cross-legged on the bed face to face, making a systematic summary of the Spring Festival over the years, and finally making this year's Spring Festival the most interesting Spring Festival.

Honestly, my mother had already planned to resign, but she couldn't find a suitable reason. Mom thought that it was a real insult to always let those guys with ulterior motives add unwarranted annoyance to themselves and their cubs. Especially whenever she sees the cub being wronged, the mother's psychology will have a strong sense of stabbing.

However, how did such unclear reasons make the resignation conditional? The hesitant mother still smiled at everyone. No wonder the cub said she could put garlic on her!

The cub witnessed the difference between her mother in front of and behind people, and she really admired her mother's uncompromising transformation.

Time doesn't matter how you feel, even though it mercilessly slips off the tip of your pen and slips away from your desk. In the blink of an eye, this spring is gone little by little.

"You write your homework well, I'll go to the workshop and see it and come back soon." Mom slapped the cub's head back and left the office.

In late spring and early summer, the climate is pleasant in the north, but it is already hot in the south. Although it is cloudy today, there is an indescribable sweltering heat. The workshop is like a huge steamer, steaming the reliefs on the walls, the circular sculptures on the ground, and all the sculptors. Mom sometimes moved her hands and sometimes moved her mouth through the sculptures and sculptors, and when she walked out to the door, a huge wind and wave pushed her out of the door again. For a moment, there was a panic in the room, and the sound outside was earth-shattering—the sound of impact and the sound of breaking were mixed.

Suddenly, the roof exploded, and then a section of red brick wall with steel bars, along with an asbestos tile board made of the roof, fell from the air, smashing a clay sculpture more than three meters high to the ground, completely unrecognizable. The torrential rain poured down from the large gap in the roof, and panicked people crowded into the corner of the wall, screaming with exhaustion.

Mom rushed out the door desperately, even she herself did not know how to get back to the office, when she saw the desperately crying cubs clinging to the wall, she ran over like the wind, hugged the cubs and said a series of "It's all right!" It's okay! ”

It was really all right, and in less than five minutes, the person who was the scourge of a good company was turned over on his back and was in a mess. Later, I heard that this was the wind tunnel, so it was no wonder that the factory buildings before and after were damaged, but the houses on the left and right were safe and sound.

"Mom, we're both chickens in soup!" The cub raised his head and let the rain from his mother's hair drip on his face. Only then did the mother release her arm, pat the cub's shoulder that was wet with herself and asked, "Are you scared?" ”

"Scared!" The cub said, "I heard a loud noise outside, I climbed the window to see, scared I hated to go into the wall to hide, the first time I saw bricks with steel bars flying in the sky, scared me to death!"

"Rest assured, you're not scared to death!" Mom said, "The bricks that flew in the sky leaked the roof of the workshop, fell in the middle of the ground, and smashed the goddess into the devil." ”

"Really? I'll take a look! "The cubs are back to their original state.

The lights lit up the night of the city, and the cubs and mothers will leave here tomorrow, walking on the bright streets, once again feeling the heat and glitz of the city. Whenever she stopped, the cub would always hear the owner of the stall praising her for being beautiful. I don't know if it's because people want to earn her a little money to please her, or because she's really pretty, anyway, it sounds comfortable.

"Mom, what reason did you find to quit your job?"

Mom paused slightly, mysteriously attached to her ear... Then she patted her face and smiled, in fact, she knew very well that the cub did not want to leave here so much.

The cub squinted at his mother and said, "Not only can you pretend to be garlic, but you are also able to fool around!" ”

"Of course, otherwise how could you be so clever?"

Mom lifted her face and walked twisted and turned.

The cub stopped in place for two seconds, also learned from her mother, lifted her face, and walked up with a twist.

"Look how the sisters look!"

"Huh! It's really like, even walking is exactly the same."

A couple on the side of the road laughed at them.

The mother stopped, patted the back of the cub that had followed, and immediately returned to normal. The cub returned the hand and stopped twisting. The couple's heartwarming laughter came from behind.

"Hear that?" Someone praised me for being young. ”

"I didn't hear you." The cub gave a blank look to his mother.

"People say we're sisters, so isn't that tantamount to praising my youth?" Mom explained very seriously.

"People look at me beautifully, and say something you like to hear!" The cubs were not convinced.

"No, it's saying I'm young!" Mom argued vigorously and flicked her hair at the same time.

"Look at your yellow-faced woman, where are you young?" What stinks? ”

"Look at your big plate of teeth, where is it beautiful?" What a stink you are."

"The big plate teeth are also beautiful!"

"That yellow-faced woman is also young!"

……

Two people in a good mood argue with each other.

Suddenly, the cub shouted at her mother's loud voice:

"Big sister!"

A puppy, startled by the sudden shout of the cub, ran away and looked back at her timidly.

Where the mother was, when she turned around and reached out to hit the cub, the cub was already laughing and running away.

Uh-huh.

A cacophony of harsh noises finally stopped, and the train crossed a long tunnel again. The little boy on the shop also closed his mouth, and his mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, why haven't you drilled a tunnel for half a day?" Is it gone? ”

"Because the train is about to take us home, it's a plain, there aren't so many mountains, so there's no need to drill a tunnel!"

The cub looked at the little boy in the bunk, probed his neck and said, "You never again."

Don't worry about drilling tunnels! ”

Outside the car window, there are no longer the continuous mountains, nor the moso bamboo forest and willow trees that spread over the mountains, and some are endless fields, and the dazzling daylight above the fields. The cub was lying on the window of the car looking out the window, turning back to talk to his mother from time to time.

"When we get home, we're going to go to the flower market to buy potted cannonball flowers, don't look at it like a cannonball, but how to look good!"

"Hmmm!"

"Buy another pot of frangipani!"

"The lyre leaf coral is also good!"
