Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter One: Daily Life
Chapter 12 Lovely Nephew
After eating my sister's specialty fried eggplant and making noodles at noon, my nephew didn't want to sleep, so my sister said no, let's take him out to play, so we packed up and went out.
The weather in early spring is still a bit cold, so my sister dressed her little nephew in thick blue shoes, blue thick pants, and a dark blue fat coat. It looked very cute on my little nephew. The sister put the hood on his head, and the little nephew walked in front of him with a tottering step. Yue Qing followed behind and looked at him like a little penguin. The waving little arms further deepened the image of the little penguin. Yue Qing followed him with a happy smile. When the little nephew saw Yue Qing chasing him, he thought she wanted to play with him, so he quickly screamed and ran quickly. Yueqing also started playing with him and ran to chase him. Looking back, I saw my sister walking behind, looking at us with indulgence.
"Auntie, come after me." The little nephew turned his head in front and called Yueqing.
"I am coming."
We ran all the way to the bus stop and rode together to the playground. There were quite a few children. As soon as the little nephew arrived, he ran to the food stall first. It seemed that he came back more than once.
"Mom, I want to eat sausage."
"Didn't you just have dinner? Let's go play first. I'll buy you something to eat when you get tired."
"Then will you buy me sausages later?" the little nephew confirmed.
"Yes."
"Then I'm going to play." As soon as the little nephew heard this, he ran towards the slide, with Yueqing and her sister following behind.
This amusement park has an area of nearly 300 square meters. Yue Qing took a quick look and found that the venue is not too small, and each area has its own characteristics. In the center of the amusement park, where my nephew ran, there are various slides, turntables, seesaws, swings, horizontal bars and other facilities. To the east is an ocean-themed area, an ocean ball pool, an ocean sandy area, a fruit playing area, and some castle-making facilities. Class sediment platform. The west side is mainly some transportation, some pirate ships, small planes, small trains and the like. There are also some scattered facilities, such as standardized strollers, which can push children or let them ride on their own. It is indeed a very suitable place for children to play.
This amusement park also requires a fee. How much does it cost to play once? My sister got an annual pass for the child. You can come whenever you want to play. Just swipe the annual card to register when you come over. The little nephew dragged his shoes and entered the slide area. My sister swiped her card at the cashier. Yueqing followed her to the slide area and took away the little nephew's shoes. After searching around, she found the place where the shoes and clothes were put. She walked over and put them away. . He took off his coat and clothes, put them away, and walked back to see his sister asking her nephew to take off his coat.
"I'll put things away, and you can play with him here."
"Okay, I've put all my clothes over there."
"Auntie, look at me, woo~~" Yueqing heard her nephew calling her and looked over, only to see him sliding down the slide, dubbing as he went. After reaching the bottom, he fell into a pile of ocean balls and slowed down to a stop.
"Wow, that's amazing."
"Do it again." The little nephew got up and quickly climbed up the ladder on the side. "Auntie, look at me."
"Look at it, look at it, you slide, I will catch you from below."
"Woo~~"
"Ah, I caught you." Yue Qing quickly hugged him from below, "Xiaobao is so amazing."
"Awesome, hahahaha~~" while laughing, he started running up again.
"I just love coming here." My sister walked up behind me and said. "Let him play by himself. Let's sit on the stage here."
"Well, children like to come to places like this. If I have children in the future, I will take them here to play."
"We're not married yet, we still have kids, and I haven't asked you yet, how are you and your boyfriend doing?"
"Hey, sister, I was just about to talk to you. Please give me a reference. I don't think we have any feelings. You said that person was nice and didn't contact me. He just wanted to get closer to me when he came to my place. You know, The last time he went to my place, he said he wanted to stay there that night. I thought it was too fast. I didn’t get to know him very well, even though we had known each other for a long time. My mother was just urging me, but what’s the use of urging? ."
"What do you mean, I won't contact you? Have you contacted him?"
"He hasn't contacted me yet, and I will definitely not contact him."
"Then what are you talking about? Is he far away? Even if he is far away, you should call him often. Isn't his personality a bit dull?"
"I don't know. I feel like there's something wrong with me. I feel like I might not be very sexually interested in men. Am I frigid?"
"There is no such thing. Maybe you just haven't reached that stage of love."
"Besides, her sister asked when we were going to get married as soon as she saw me. Can we just get married? I wonder if she asked her brother? Hey, I feel so confused."
"Don't you like him? Don't you have a good impression of him at all?"
"No, he was the one who moved me when I moved the house. At that time, I thought he was quite reliable. But as time went by, I thought again, does every man do this? He doesn't If you call me, you probably don’t like me very much, so you don’t have that much to say to me.”
"Have you ever told him how you feel?"
"No, I didn't tell him. I feel that if I tell him and he calls me again, am I asking him to contact me and begging for affection? I feel even weirder."
"Well~, you're right to think so, but sometimes men just think about practical things, and they sometimes don't think of these things. You still have to communicate with him. If it's really not suitable, don't delay."
"You said, let me ask him to call me?"
"No, just tell him what you think. Maybe he really doesn't think there's anything wrong with you getting along like this. Besides, you are talking about a partner now, between lovers. If you can't even say these words, Then the relationship between you is too inconsistent with a love relationship. Think about it again, if Wang Bo thinks that there is nothing wrong with you and that you have reached the point where you can talk about marriage, but you think that he will give you The lack of contact means that you don't love you enough, and if you don't tell him, it may be a bit unfair to him. Don't you think he is a bit pitiful? Sometimes it is not a disadvantage for a girl to take the initiative. If he really doesn't care about you, you have mentioned it. If his attitude hasn't changed, then you should break it off. You have to look at what he has done, not what he hasn't done, and try to change it."
"Hey, let me think about it, go back and think about it. Anyway, I don't want to be too proactive." Yue Qing still sighed in confusion.
"Mom, Mom, hey, aunt, look at me." The little nephew drilled a hole under the slide with a few children, drilled his little head out of a round hole, and called us.
"Okay, I saw it, go and play." My sister shouted back. The little nephew put his little head back and started chasing other children again. Yueqing looked at her little nephew, and it was indeed fun to have a baby.
"You know your brother-in-law is actually not a very proactive person. He is a bit boring. At that time, I thought this guy was okay, so I didn't think about it anymore. Then I took the initiative to push him, and then we got together. ." My sister continued to tell me. "After I got married, I found out that he has a lot of bad things, but who doesn't have shortcomings? I still have some. I think your brother-in-law is quite disadvantaged by being with me. Don't you have shortcomings? I think As long as that person is not bad, no matter who you marry, you will still marry, and fate has made you meet, so you need to take this fate seriously."
"Hey, what you said is quite right."
"Don't be afraid of getting hurt. You still have friends and family. We are with you. Also, if you have a child, I can take the time to help you take care of it. Don't worry, you only have one child. It's very tiring to take care of it. ." My sister said with a smile.
"I think Xiaobao is easy to take care of."
"Haha~, that's because you only saw his cute side, and he is also a little devil."
Yue Qing laughed, and her sister also looked at Yue Qing and smiled. "Try it." Yueqing said.
"Well, if it doesn't work, then say no. Isn't my mother urging me every day?"
"Um."
"I'm going to buy him something. I guess he's tired from playing. Do you want something to drink?"
"whatever."
"Okay." My sister stood up and went to the food stall. Yueqing looked at her little nephew. He was already playing a fighting game with several little boys. You chase me first and pretend to beat me a few times, and then I chase you again. Pretend to beat you up a few times. The little nephew and another boy were chasing others, screaming as they ran. They were the loudest in the entire playground, and many people were looking at them. Yue Qing smiled, this little guy is quite capable of tossing.
"Strawberry milkshake or milk tea?" My sister came back after a while, holding a pile of food.
"milkshake."
"Here." My sister handed it to me, "Baby, come here and eat the grilled sausage you like. Mom has bought it for you."
"Are you ready?" Upon hearing this, the little nephew ran over quickly, with an unstoppable smile on his face, his face was red and he was sweating profusely. As soon as he came, he reached for the sausage first, and Yueqing quickly took out the paper and wiped his head.
"Let's go back after eating and playing for a while. Okay, it will get cold when it gets later." My sister explained while giving her nephew something to eat.
"Okay." There was food, and the little nephew replied obediently.
After eating and playing for a while, my sister let me go home.
"Little brother, I'm going home first." The little nephew greeted the friend he just made today.
"Okay." The child looked at Xiaobao with unsatisfied expression. It seemed that this little guy was also capable of making friends.
"Mom, the baby is the happiest today. Can we come again next time?" The little nephew raised his head and made a condition for his sister.
"Okay, I'll bring the baby next time." His sister promised him while dressing him up. Yue Qing looked at it with interest, like a kid but a big kid.
After dressing him up, the three of us took the bus home together.
------------------------------------------Dividing line
Just like that, when we got home, it was already getting late. My sister made some casual dinner, and Yueqing and her nephew ate some together and then played at home.
At night, my sister wanted to put her nephew to bed and took Xiaobao to pick up stories. His sister usually brings him several books at home and lets him choose which one to talk about first.
"Baby, look, there are three books here. Which one should I talk about first?"
"Which one are you talking about?" The little nephew looked up at his sister and opened his eyes seriously. Yue Qing was half lying on the bed looking at him.
"Well, how about you read Hongdou, 'Red beans are born in the south, and when spring comes, they will send out a few branches.' Which book should you click on and which one is good?"
"Okay." The little nephew jumped up and agreed. "Hey, I also have to add 'I'm pretty good'"
"Okay." My sister also brought over the little foot picture book 'I'm Very Good'. "That's okay."
"Red, bean, raw, south, country, spring, come, hair, few, branches. This won't work."
"Then do it again."
"Red, bean..." Another one was clicked.
"This is okay."
"Well, this is fine."
"Mom, look at it. Thousands of miles send goose feathers. Okay, mom, let me tell you this." My sister picked up her little nephew's little hand and pointed at the words "Thousands, miles, send, goose, feathers" on the cover and opened the book:
"The Tang Dynasty was one of the most powerful countries in ancient history. A leader of a minority group in Yunnan... sent a minister to donate a white swan to the King of Tang. The minister took the beautiful white swan from distant Yunnan to Chang'an. I took good care of it on the road... When I passed by the river, I wanted to give it a bath. Unexpectedly, the swan flew high into the sky. The minister hurried to catch the swan. He didn't catch the swan, but only pulled a few goose feathers." My sister was talking as she took the little one with her. Nephew makes moves.
When it comes to the swan flying away, the minister went to catch it but failed and only caught a few feathers. The little nephew smiled happily in his sister's arms. "Mom, do it again."
"Okay, I was passing by the river... I only pulled a few goose feathers."
"Haha~~~, mommy wants to say it again." The little nephew liked this part very much and pestered his sister to tell it again.
"Finish the story first, and then talk about whether he is okay or not." His sister discussed with him.
"Okay." The little nephew agreed obediently and continued to listen to the story.
"What should I do? The gift is gone, only these few hairs are left." My sister continued.
"Haha~~~, that's all." The little nephew repeated with a smile, and glanced at Yue Qing with that cute smile, as if to find a common point of view.
"The minister's men said... we have to think of a remedy... When we arrived in Chang'an,... the king of Tang saw a delicate little package. When he opened it, he found a few goose feathers and a small poem... . The minister told the whole story, and the king of Tang repeatedly said: It’s so precious, sending goose feathers thousands of miles away, the courtesy is light but the affection is heavy! In the end, the king of Tang not only did not blame him, but also rewarded him." After speaking, my sister continued to turn to the next page. "Hey, no more."
"Haha~~, is it gone?" The little nephew also imitated his sister and flipped through the picture book.
"Well, that's it. Did you like the story?"
"It sounds good. I like to listen to stories the most." The little nephew looked at his sister and said, "Mom also wants to tell me that I am very good."
"I'm very good. I won't talk today. It's time for you to go to bed." As she said this, her sister made the bed for her little nephew.
"But, Mom, I'm not sleepy at all." The little nephew began to reason with his sister.
"You have to sleep even if you're not sleepy. It's getting dark and it's already bedtime." My sister said seriously, without any discussion.
"Yes, it's getting dark, and my aunt and mother are also tired. Ha~~, you see, my aunt is sleepy." Yue Qing also said helpfully.
"Are you sleepy?" the little nephew looked at me seriously with his big, dark, watery eyes and asked.
"Yes. I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."
"Okay then." After saying that, the little nephew lay down obediently and pulled up the quilt himself.
My sister went to turn off the lights, and the three of them lay down to sleep. After lying down for a while, the little nephew turned around and couldn't sleep. "Mom, hold hands." The little nephew stretched out his hand to his sister, and her sister pulled him. The little nephew closed his eyes and started to sleep.
Yue Qing took a breath and finally fell asleep. It had been noisy since noon today. The little guy has been playing. I don’t know why he is in such good spirits. Children have good energy. Yue Qing is a little tired from being with him today. Just as he was relaxing, a car light shone into the room and passed by in a flash.
"Mom, look at the headlights." The little nephew quickly got up.
Yue Qing and her sister both turned their heads to look at him. Yue Qing looked helpless, but looked at her sister with a calm expression. She was indeed very patient with her children.
"Mom, look, are these car lights?" the little nephew pointed to the light on the wall and said to his sister.
"That's not the car's light, that's the moonlight. The car's light just flashed for a moment and then went away."
"Is it the moonlight?"
"Yes, moonlight."
"Is there bright moonlight in front of the bed?" The little nephew remembered the Tang poetry his sister taught him. Yue Qing became amused, this guy is so smart, he can already relate to this.
"Yes, there's a bright moonlight in front of the bed. Look, it's as bright as snow. I guess it's frost on the ground."
"Oh, is there bright moonlight in front of the bed?" the little nephew jumped up happily and said happily. "Auntie, look, there is a bright moonlight in front of the bed. I suspect it is frost on the ground. I raise my head to look at the bright moon (raise my head as I speak), lower my head and miss my hometown (lower my head as I say). When I lower my head and miss my hometown, I miss my mother." The little nephew was happy. He pulled me and performed for me, performing movements on his back, and the range of movements was extremely large.
"Wow, Xiaobao is so smart." Yue Qing praised in a dignified manner.
"Hey, aunt, ask me."
"What am I asking you for?"
"Oh, ask me what this is?"
"Huh?" Yue Qing didn't understand for a moment.
"You asked me what this is?" The little nephew pointed to the light on the wall.
"Oh~, what is this?"
"This is the bright moonlight in front of the bed. The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground..." The little nephew happily recited it again, and asked me to ask him again after I asked him, and then asked his sister to ask him again, so Repeated several times.
"Okay, that's it for now. The moon has to rest. He still has his own things to do. Can we play with the baby tomorrow?" His sister held him back to prevent his little nephew from jumping again.
"Is the moon going to rest too? Okay, let's play tomorrow. Good night, moon." The little nephew waved to the moon and lay down. "Mom, fly the quilt." the little nephew demanded.
"Okay." My sister stood up, pulled up her little nephew's quilt, and swung it upwards, letting it fall on her body. The little nephew shook his head with a satisfied smile, then turned his head to one side and closed his eyes.
Less than two minutes later, I heard my little nephew's gentle cry and fell asleep. Yueqing and her sister looked at each other and fell asleep too quickly. They fell asleep as soon as they said they were going to sleep.
"Hey, it's really exciting." Yue Qing sighed.
"You will know when you have a child. Taking care of a child is a very hard job, but you are tired and happy, and tired and satisfied. Every time you look at him, many decisions will become easier. When you have a child, If you feel tired, come to me and I will help you share the load."
"Yeah." Yue Qing said nothing, looked at her sister and smiled and hummed.
"Go to sleep, we're all tired."
"Okay." After saying that, Yue Qing closed her eyes.
