Chapter 16: Help......
The first sentence of the fifteenth volume of "Xingshi Hengyan" in the "Three Words" of Feng Menglong, a writer, thinker and opera writer in the Ming Dynasty, said, "As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the temperament is difficult to change." At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the novel "The Legend of Marriage in the Awakening World" also mentioned the saying that "the mountain is difficult to move, and the sex is difficult to change", the meaning is very clear, mainly to say that it is difficult to change people's nature. Indeed, the ancient sages have defined and summarized human nature one after another, and no one is exempt from the vulgar throughout the ages, including you and me.
On this day, my father took a brand new piece of hard kraft paper, about a quarter the size of A4 paper, and excitedly called my 6-year-old sister to his side.
I have long been accustomed to my father's fierce spirit and "dirty mouth", and I always shudder when I see my father, just like a mouse seeing a cat, and tremble. Suddenly seeing my father's amiable appearance, I inevitably had a feeling of unreality.
"Have I made any mistakes lately?"
"Father, what is this for?"
"I wonder if he's going to hit me?"
"Father is a little different this time! Is this still my father?"
For all children, the father is the heavens and the dependents. The father's majesty and tallness in the child's mind can make the child feel extremely comfortable and safe, as well as the relaxation and comfort of the soul!
But for my sister, my father is the emperor and monarch of the family, a tyrant who controls the fate of her and her mother. Of course, the same fate was true before I left home.
Hearing her father's call, although her sister was reluctant to go, she was afraid of suffering from flesh and skin. So I had to bite the bullet, with my back against the wall, and moved my body sideways in small steps, and it took a long time to come to my father's side.
With his head down, he cautiously opened his eyes wide, and quietly looked and looked at his father's face, and looked and looked.
After a long period of "protracted war" tempering and testing, my sister quickly "trained" the ability to observe words and colors and how to "figure out the holy will" of political sensitivity.
But this time the situation seems to be very different from the past, the father's amiable and harmless expression of humans and animals under the "comprehensive judgment" of the rapid operation of the sister's brain, the preliminary conclusion that the probability of "being hurt" is almost zero, which is negligible. Although the result was unimaginable compared to previous experiences, in my father's kind words, such a "judgment" seemed to lower my sister's guard a few points.
"Xiaowei", her father said kindly: "Come, Dad will show you some good things." β
Then my father took out a pencil and wrote on the small piece of vellum paper the six alphabets of "a o e i u ΓΌ".
Then, the father pointed to the pinyin alphabet and patiently taught his daughter with affectionate and overflowing fatherly affection:
"Come, Dad will teach you pinyin, read with Dad, aββγ β
My sister read along: "a-"
"Come, this reading o-read with Daddy, o-"
βoβββ
βeβββ
βeβββ
......
After reading it a few times in the harmonious situation of "one teaching and one learning", my sister unconsciously reduced her guard against her father little by little, until it disappeared completely.
With the child's reading, a picture of "father's kindness and filial piety, father-daughter affection" came into being. At this time, if someone passes by, they will definitely involuntarily say, "What a good father with patience, teaching so seriously, and the child learning very seriously, it's so enviable!"
At this time, my sister's heart was as sweet as honey.
In the past, my father's anger, roaring, and yelling was the norm, and I had never seen such a kind-eyed, respected and beloved father, and my sister was even more happy and carried away, while following my father to read pinyin, while thinking, "It would be nice if my father was like this every day, I like such an amiable father." β
Of course, the young heart longs to be cared for by her father, and her sister sits in her father's arms, enjoying the beauty and happiness of this moment, greedily breathing the unique breath of her father, and really hopes that time will always stay in the beauty of this moment.
This is the love that children have for their parents, simple and pure. For children, parents are everything.
Therefore, when educating children, never say things like "if you don't obey your father or your mother doesn't want you anymore", these words are as terrifying to your children as the end of the world.
After patiently teaching his daughter, the father carefully put the brown paper note with pinyin in the cabinet, and didn't know what to do when he went out.
My sister didn't know the deeper meaning of the note that my father had put in the cupboard when he was leaving. Actually, my father didn't want my sister to play with it, otherwise my father would have handed it to her directly.
For children, all external things are new and can arouse infinite interest, especially things that have not been obtained. In addition, my sister has not had toys since she was a child, so she has a higher desire for that brown note, and her desire to get it is very strong.
So my sister tried with great difficulty to open the cabinet and take out the brown paper. But the young sister was not tall, standing on tiptoe and raising her hands to grab the cabinet door, and there was no stool or anything else at home that could be raised, and her efforts for a long time ended in failure.
At this time, the mother walked in and saw her daughter struggling to grasp the cabinet door, and asked suspiciously, "Xiaowei, what are you doing?"
"Mom, I want a note. My sister was afraid of her mother's accusation, so she said to her mother timidly.
"Notes?" the mother was confused, and then asked, "What note?
"It's in the cupboard. My sister pointed to the cabinet and said firmly.
According to my sister's words, my mother opened the cabinet, found the brown note at first sight, took it out and asked my sister, "Is this it?"
"Yes, yes, that's it. As she spoke, my sister lifted the note above her head, jumped up excitedly and spun around several times, and said with a happy smile: "Just now Dad taught me the pinyin above! Mom, Mom, I'll teach you." My sister couldn't wait to show her mother what she had learned.
Mother held my sister in her arms, and my sister pointed to the pinyin letters on it, pretending to say: "Mom, now I am Teacher Xiaowei, I will teach you pinyin, follow me to read -a-"
......
Listening to her daughter's reading, the mother couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth upward, revealing a shallow smile. As a matter of course, I read it.
βaβββ
......
After satisfying her sister's little "vanity", her mother touched her sister's head dotingly and asked, "Xiaowei, is this what your father wrote for you?"
My sister nodded vigorously and said proudly, "Dad also pointed to me and taught me how to read one by one!"
"Hehe", the mother couldn't help but smile again, and said to herself: "This stunned boy has recently changed his character? Usually how to look at his daughter is not pleasing to the eye, today suddenly began to teach the child pinyin, is it suddenly know how to be a father? When he comes back in a while, he has to praise well, make him happy, and carry forward this kind of father's loving kindness!"
My sister didn't understand what her mother meant, so she couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about, Mom?"
The mother came back to her senses and said with a smile, "It's nothing, can my lovely teacher Xiaowei teach my mother to read again?"
As soon as she heard her mother take the initiative to ask to teach and read, her sister suddenly became energetic and made an old-fashioned look: "Mom, I will only teach once this time, this time you have to study hard!"
"Okay, okay, this time my mother must study seriously. Mother said earnestly.
......
The mother and daughter happily read the contents of the note over and over again with different thoughts. The mother was happy for the change in her father. The daughter is excited and satisfied because of the change in her father today and the feeling of being spoiled in the arms of her parents.
Where blessings and misfortunes are relied upon, misfortunes and blessings lurk.
No one would have thought that this note would almost kill their mother.
When the mother and daughter were reading well, the hero happened to come in from outside the door. Seeing the brown paper in the hands of the mother and daughter that he personally put in the cabinet, he seemed to have a crazy attack, and he suddenly became angry, and he started to rush in an instant.
I saw that the hero pulled his mother's hair with his left hand, and raised his fist with his right hand, "plop", "plop", and hit his mother in the face.
Time flies slowly, and it flies quickly. The reason for the slowness is that the mother didn't know what happened during the whole process of being beaten, what the reason was, and she didn't understand the cause of this sudden disaster, and she only felt the hot pain on her head, face, and body going on endlessly, and she didn't know when it would end;
I don't know how long it took to fight, but the hero was tired, his fists were sore, and he stopped when he couldn't dance his arms. And the mother, I don't know when she has passed out.
The suddenness of this change made my sister's brain chaotic, and the young sister did not realize why she fell from her mother's arms to the ground, and then watched her father punch her mother in the face.
Then the mother lay on the ground unrecognizable, without any reaction. Suddenly frightened and bloodless, he cried loudly, crawled to his mother's side, pushed his mother's arm hard, and yelled while crying: "Mom, don't die, Mom, don't die......"
Seeing that there was no response from her mother after yelling a few times, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately stood up and ran out of the door, crying and shouting as she ran: "Auntie, help! Dad beat Mom to death, Dad beat Mom to death...... Oldest maternal aunt...... Help!"
