Yesterday, with her daughter of more than nine months, I flew directly from Shanghai to Kunming. It was her first time on a plane, and it was the second time I'd ever set foot on a trip after a year and a half. Leaning against the porthole on the plane, seeing the white clouds floating in the air, I couldn't help but take my mobile phone out to take one photo after another, and I was full of emotions.
Finally, I tasted the taste of travel, and even the lunch box handed over by the flight attendant was really interesting, which contained a small piece of glutinous rice fin stuffed with bean paste, a piece of bread sprinkled with pineapple to become sour, and a fresh meat mooncake. After not flying for a long time, the economy class seems to be getting smaller again, or maybe it is because my 21-pound daughter has not waited for take-off and began to sleep, lying on my lap for almost two hours. Halfway through, Xiao Chen asked me: Are your legs not numb?
If possible, I'd love to practice some aerial yoga on an airplane.
After getting off the plane, with a joyful mood, I shared a few photos on Weibo, and soon someone replied: Isn't it a living sin to take such a small child out? She can't understand it either, and you're tired and panicked.
The baby could not understand the scenery as the truth, and when the sister woke up on the plane, she had no interest in the magnificent scenery at high altitude outside the window and had been playing with a mineral water bottle. Adults are tired and panicked, it is also the truth, take such a little child out, can you not be tired? Just packing up the luggage is tired and half dead, with a thermometer fever medicine folding bathtub supplement rice powder silicone bib and a series of other things, loading most of the suitcase, packing to the middle of the way and even playing a retreat drum, too difficult, or don't go to it.
But children do not need to travel, children only need mother and father, about how travel can broaden the horizons of children, I have always felt completely self-comforting, before my sister was born, we took Evan to so many places, he is not an ordinary primary school student.
The ones who really need to travel are the adults. From the moment I left for the airport, I was already in a state of ecstasy. God, Hongqiao Airport is so shopping so much, I bought lipstick in a beauty shop, Xiao Chen bought a cup of Zhizhi berry in Xicha, I also pushed the child to try on two clothes, if it is not in a hurry, I can buy a whole set of new lines. Because we're going on a trip, traveling means putting aside all routines.
The destination of the trip doesn't even matter, as long as it's in the distance. Alandburton writes in The Art of Travel, "We approach new places with humility, and we do not have any prejudices about what is interesting. ”
I think the day in Yunnan is very interesting, obviously I have come many times before, but when I come, I have to start to sigh, so blue. This kind of blue sky like the Windows boot page, rarely seen in Shanghai, Shanghai sky, sometimes light blue, sometimes fashionable smog blue, the sky is not the same, the mood is different, even Kunming traffic jam has become a little cute.
Where the sky is so blue, there will be traffic jams.
When eating in the evening, I casually found a restaurant, Shanghai has nothing, not to mention Yunnan cuisine, even Ethiopian cuisine can also be found. But watching the waiter carry a large bowl of rice noodles across the bridge, the mood was excited again, wow, the chicken soup in this bowl is still boiling. Xiao Chen Youyou said that many years ago he had to transfer in Kunming every time he went to Kolkata, and told me a cold knowledge, from here to Kolkata, it is closer than to Shanghai, as long as two and a half hours.
Look, out on a trip, we finally have topics outside of kids.
Calcutta, which already sounds like One Hundred Years of Solitude, has an untouchable sense of exoticism. Every time he traveled on business that year, he said that the plane flew into the gray sky of India, and his mood dropped a few blocks. Fortunately, there is no need to travel now, and the sky in Kunming is still so blue.
While eating rice noodles and listening to a nearby table, the middle-aged man was talking to the lady on the other side with an extremely sincere attitude: "This place in Yunnan is very different, the men here have small three small four, and the women here also have small three small four." ”
Although the lady did not look young, she could only say, like an ignorant girl, "Is it?" ”
I would like to say, isn't this nonsense?
But Xiao Chen said that if you concentrate on eating, you can't hear what others are saying.
After eating and walking by the Dianchi Lake, I saw a young and beautiful girl selling children's toys, blowing bubbles while shouting, buy one get one free, buy a blow bubble toy and send a sword!
Yunnan is really different, in Shanghai, doing this kind of business, generally are middle-aged people with a more panicked face, pushing bicycles, secretly selling toys in the park, these two girls, how modern. It is reminiscent of Wang Zengqi's female college students who walk around the streets of Kunming at the Southwest United University, young and fashionable.
Wang wrote at that time that There was a kind of fermented cake sold in Fengwei Street, Kunming, "first burned in the pot until it was half-cooked, and then placed in the hearth to bake on both sides, and the hearth was burned with pine hairs - the needles of masson pine, so there was a very special flavor", because the girls of the United Nations University loved to eat this cake, and the Kunming people renamed this cake to modern rice dumplings.
The next morning at the hotel breakfast ate this kind of modern rice dumplings, which was completely different from what I imagined, burnt yellow and a little hard. Modern rice cake, rice cake, fried milk fan, thin bean porridge... These things are put together, and the whole of Yunnan is coming.
It doesn't matter whether children see the world or not, children have so many bright futures. Adults look at the world is very important, come out to play, suddenly found that the brain finally no longer worry about the soaring housing prices in Shanghai, worry about want to buy their own small house, worry about how to make more money. For more than a year, every time I met with friends in Shanghai, I always couldn't get around the house, and everyone said that the house had risen, and it was a bit lonely, and it had risen, and what about it? If you want to buy a new house, it is difficult, and it is difficult to replace it.
Speaking of going around, there is also the child's homework, a friend talked about his son's chicken blood primary school, mature middle-aged men have changed into a confused look, the third grade of primary school, two-thirds of the final exam people failed, the child just cried bitter, he has felt unable to bear to go to the hospital, the doctor let him do 24-hour blood pressure test, found that every day from 7 pm to 9 o'clock blood pressure is extremely high, ask him what he is doing during this time? He said, staring at the children to do their homework.
Another friend had an uneven heart rate because of this, and specially asked college students to come back to do tutoring, so that he could live a little more.
Anxiety, anxiety that cannot be cured.
But out, it is much better, because you can be like a real foreigner, with the same curious eyes as a child, looking at the grass and trees of the foreign country, alas, you see, both sides of the Kunming elevated road are planted with the moon season, there is a breakfast restaurant that roasts bait blocks, Kunming people talk a little loudly, but the heart is really good.
On the road, we often hear people loudly reminding us, "Be careful, the child is going to touch!" The restaurant had just pushed a stroller in, and the waiter shouted, "Be careful, there are steps!" ”
In the parking lot, because I didn't find the pedestrian passage, I followed the exit of the car, and I was walking, when a black-faced big brother with a female companion flew over on the side of the road and shouted, "Be careful, the railing has fallen!" "I looked back, but no, it was scary, and I was still holding the child in my hand." The eldest brother took his hand and desperately blocked the railing, and when he saw that it was okay, he clapped his hands and walked away like no one else.
When I went out to travel, suddenly all aspects of the feeling deepened, people felt cute, and things felt amiable.
It used to be like a salted fish, but now it seems to be alive again.
