Text Chapter 50 The events of the SARS holiday

On April 30, 2003, SARS caused a great panic in society. On the afternoon of the SARS holiday, the son came to his wife's office with two things in his hand. At that time, there were quite a lot of people in the office, and when we saw it, we couldn't be happier: first, my son's mid-term exam results, 97 points in Chinese and 99 points in mathematics, respectively, ranked at the top of the class; second, the fairy tale "The New Biography of the Crow" he created, which was published in the magazine "Smart Spring".

The son snuggled up to his mother coquettishly, and his wife held him with one hand and "Wisdom Spring" in the other. Although SARS was scary, the progress of the child changed everything. The wife held her slender arms, and the fine white skin on her face revealed a different charm, and SARS was powerful but not a person's hope for the progress of the child. The wife proudly read her son's article with a friend:

Previously, crows were beautiful birds of paradise.

Once, the Queen Mother's peach feast was a feast for the guests, and it was not over after three days and three nights. The Queen Mother's hall ran out of water, and the Jade Emperor sent crows to fetch water in the world. On the way back, the crow saw a tree full of peaches, but the peaches were not yet ripe. The crow thought, "I've heard of the peach for a lifetime, but I don't know how delicious it is, how pitiful!" At this time, it fell under the tree, wait, wait until the peach is ripe. There are also many baby crows left in the world. When the crow returned to Heaven, the Jade Emperor made it smaller and was still angry, and asked Taishang Laojun to use the "alchemy furnace" to refine all the crow's beautiful feathers into black and send them to the world. Overnight, all the beautiful crows on the earth turned into black finch, and people regarded it as an ominous bird and was treated unequally.

After a while, the Jade Emperor wanted to put two divine stones on the earth, but there was only a phoenix in the sky. There was no way, he ordered: restore the crow's true body and return to heaven. The crow has experienced the tempering of nature in the world, and it is fast and good in the process of releasing the god stone. On the way back, it saw that the phoenix was struggling with the divine stone. It hurriedly flew over, ready to help, but at this moment, the phoenix couldn't hold on, and the divine stone fell to the world, causing a disaster. The Jade Emperor asked them what was going on, but the phoenix said, "It's the crow's greed." The Jade Emperor remembered what happened last time, and in a fit of anger, he couldn't help but say that he had turned the crow into a constellation in the sky, and he would never return to heaven and the world.

Since then, the descendants of the crows have suffered greatly on earth. Whenever they encounter difficulties, they will look up at their mother's zodiac sign, and there will be a force in their hearts that motivates them to overcome difficulties. In fact, people are the same, as long as you have a dream, the dream will inspire you to move forward, and never let you give up until you succeed.

"It's not easy, the essay can be published in a national journal!" The people in the office sighed.

"This is the second one. The wife's eyes were so happy that they were confused, and said: "The first article 'flea market' was published in the "Alxa Daily", and it is also interesting to write about their sales!"

The wife's words made the mood of the people present complicated, and it turned out that the interest in laughing was not so strong. It is no wonder that Wang Xile does not devote as much time to study as other children, but he has such a result; the children of his colleagues' families study in various classes all day long, but their grades are not as good as his, and everyone will have ideas in their hearts.

People dispersed in the sound of mutual blessings in the face of SARS.

As soon as I got out of school, my son was going to the same school, and no matter how we persuaded him, it was useless, as if SARS was an adult's business and had nothing to do with the little doll. When the son left, the wife said, "It seems that you let your child write what he wants to write, and natural writing education without any requirements is not nonsense." I used to think that writing flowers, sketches, and describing things, and using more good words and sentences is the way to write articles. As soon as I heard what my wife said, I hurriedly said, "That kind of idea is suitable for adults who can write." As long as the child is not afraid to write, it is enough to write out his thoughts according to the flow account, as long as there are ideas with the increase in reading, as long as he is not afraid to write, he will naturally make progress after a certain period of accumulation. ”

SARS made life tense. That morning, my wife got a Chinese medicine prescription from somewhere and said it could cure SARS, and kept urging me to go to the hospital to buy medicine, and repeatedly said that the prescription was hard to get. I looked at the prescription, straightened my clothes, and posed as if I was going to go out, and said, "Can this cure SARS?"

"It can be cured, others say so, the prescription is given by the people in the hospital, and it is passed down from the higher authorities. ”

"Great! So SARS can be cured, and we can go to work tomorrow without a holiday, right?" I said weirdly.

"How are you talking, asking you to buy medicine, why are you talking so much?!"

"SARS is a major event in a critical country, it is very complicated, it is so serious that students are on vacation, which shows that the country has no cure for SARS. It's a three-point poison, that's not a joke. ”

"It seems reasonable to listen to you," said the wife, "but in times of emergency, you can only follow the doctor's instructions." You also know it from TV: more and more people are infected by SARS. Time waits for no one, SARS is imminent, we have to listen to the doctor no matter what, you go to the hospital and buy the medicine back and take it. ”

I had never eaten Chinese herbal medicine, and when I heard my wife's words, I suddenly got goosebumps. I thought to myself: Buying medicine to cure SARS, the country has no way to do it, but the people have a way, isn't this a matter of laughing to death? What is the difference between this and those absurd and nonsensical martial arts in martial arts films? Don't end up SARS didn't treat people well, and there was something wrong with the medicine! My wife saw me hesitating and said, "Old man, what are you still grinding against? Now the people in the hospital are crazy to buy medicine, and I'm afraid there will be no medicine when it's too late." ”

"It's not that I don't want to buy it, it's that I really can't go out and buy medicine. The country is more anxious about SARS than ants on a hot pot, and even a fool would not believe that we can have medicine to treat SARS in such a small place. Not only do I not buy medicine, but I also won't take it, and my attitude in this major crisis is: life and death have a fate, and everyone will be safe. ”

With that, I turned and walked out.

"Dead ghost, come back, it's really infuriating. Tougher than a donkey. What life and death have a fate, and each has the will of heaven, is purely a fallacy. Come back, dead ghost. ”

No matter how angry my wife was, I was gone.

A warm breeze blows from the desert park, and the new green trees dance heroically. Birds chirp in a row. Tomorrow is the "May 1st", if all kinds of cultural and sports activities in the past will be fully launched, but this year everything is suspended. Although the scenery of the desert park is more beautiful, it is impossible to feel happy. Walking to the artificial lake, I washed my face with ice water, stretched my limbs, and then climbed to the observation deck to think about how to spend this holiday. Now, children are in a critical period of motor nerve development, which is related to the function of the cerebellum. Therefore, the development of physical abilities must be a priority in the educational strategy, which is the basis for the prosperity of any animal in the world. Wang Xile has accumulated a little bit of accumulation in the previous year, and has the ability to camp far away, how to make camping gradually from play to a kind of self-challenge? Secondly, my son must learn to swim this year, because the earth is a water polo. Third, it is necessary to spend ten days to develop the child's agility in a professional way. In the above three aspects, once a child misses this age, it means that he or she will lose the best development opportunity for life. In terms of learning, it would be great if the child could stick to the one-hour self-learning plan every day.

When I got home, there was no one at home, and I didn't see anyone at noon, so I didn't have the heart to eat, so I simply lay on the bed. I was restless, I wanted to sleep, I couldn't sleep, I was always thinking about my wife and children. What are they doing? Why don't they buy medicine? Anyway, I don't want to think much about SARS and medicine, but my mind is full of ......

The pot doesn't open the pot. At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, my wife bought a large bag full of Chinese medicine. While stubbornly obeying my wife's reprimand, I listened to her nagging and buying medicine, and finally divided the medicine into countless small portions as requested. "You call the coal yard and ask you to send 200 pieces of Fengwo coal, and then go to the street to buy a Fengwo coal stove and come back, you can't let me do all the work alone. The wife said.

I bought the stove and my wife boiled the medicine in the yard. My son didn't come back until dinner, and he picked up his meal and went to play the game. I said, "What day of the week is today?"

"Today Tuesday is not the day to play games, but now is the holiday. ”

"Is there a difference between taking a vacation and going to school when it comes to playing games?"

"Nope. But, but. The son swallowed his voice and shrugged his head.

"Joy, you seem to have something to ask for, as long as you can reason, I will support you. I said.

"Dad, do you remember the last time I told my classmates about me playing games at home?"

"Yes. ”

"I did very well in this midterm exam. Today I went to play with my classmates, and a few parents asked me if I never participated in the study class and played casually at home, and they all annoyed me with questions. After a while, two classmates wanted to come to my house to play games, my parents agreed, and I agreed, if my classmates came, I couldn't play, I wasn't lying to my classmates, my classmates would say that I was bragging. ”

"Joy, it's good that you dare to tell the truth. I complimented, "You can play games tonight." ”

"Thank you Dad. He said excitedly.

"However, this kind of breaking the rules, you have to think about whether you can do it in the future, but there is one thing I want to explain: don't go to the same school to play in the future, SARS is very contagious, children try to play outside as much as possible, don't gather at home. ”

"Got it. ”

While eating, two children, one thin and one fat, were hanging in front of my house together. Wang Xile's eyes were sharp: "Liu Lei, Fu Xiang, hurry up." Neither of the two children answered, but looked at me timidly, and then quietly followed them to the inner room.

Children's fear of adults is the result of doting education of "loving too much, hating too much". It violates the truth that "oppression produces resistance, and warmth produces filial piety".

It was dark, the desert park was full of sounds, floating low in my ears, the stars in the sky were twinkling, and the grass insects in the yard were squeaking and singing, they were still so happy despite the attack of SARS. "Is this Wang Xile's house?" a woman asked sweetly. The wife hurriedly stood up and walked out, "Ouch, it's you!" The woman said. Apparently she knew his wife.

When I came in, it turned out to be Liu Lei's mother. She was not at ease and came to look for the child. We arrived in the back room, and she stared at the children playing games in front of the computer with stunned eyes. Judging from her complexion, she was very reluctant to let her children play with these useless things for learning, but there was no way, who made him Wang Xile's good friend. Habits and hobbies influence each other among adults, and children are the same. Liu Lei's mother said: "Liu Lei, stop playing, go back." ”

"Wang Xile can play, but his studies have not fallen behind, and my studies have not fallen behind, why can't I play?" Liu Lei said unhappily.

"Just let the child play for a little longer. The wife said, "Let's go to the living room and talk." ”

They came to the living room to talk about beauty, and they were talking hotly, Liu Lei's mother suddenly asked: "I heard Liu Lei say that your Wang Xile doesn't participate in any classes, and you play a lot, how do you catch children?"

"Wang Xile is in charge of his father. Wang Jianhua, tell me how you caught your son to study. The wife said.

I have always believed that everyone has a strong motivation to learn, as long as you solve the troubles of growing up, life education will continue to click on people's subconscious, and at a certain point the child will find the value of learning, just like a strong leopard must be able to prey.

"It's nothing, just respect the needs of children's life, insist on learning for one hour a day, and maintain children's fun for life. ”

We talked for forty minutes, and the clouds in the sky were gone, clean as a wash, and the moon gave out all its light. This kind of moon night can easily make people think about going out for a walk. "It's really a good weather to slip the street," Liu Lei's mother took the child home. The wife was dissatisfied and said: "Let me tell me how to catch the child, you see you, you are talking about some unreasonable reasons, not specific at all." I think Liu Lei's mother is really bothered to educate her children, and what you said is not in line with other people's tastes at all. ”

"The Chinese advocate hard work and generally have a bad habit of sneering at skillful work. I have a direction for children's education, and educating people is a big system that is difficult to explain clearly. ”

My wife looked at me and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. After a pause, I said, "Education is an intangible thing, and many people always want to use a magic method to turn stones into gold and solve all their children's problems at once, which is wrong in itself. ”

"I understand you," said the wife, "husband, you sit, I'll take the medicine." ”

After a while, his wife put the medicine on the coffee table, "I don't drink it, it doesn't make sense to drink this medicine." I said. My wife bent down and said to me, "This is a health medicine, drink it, and each person should drink three pays." ”

"I don't drink. Don't persuade me. I've grown so big, and I've never drunk Chinese medicine, and besides, it's purely a madman who is on the scene and blindly chasing the boom. ”

My wife persuaded me to no avail and went into the back room. After a while, the son came out, he picked up the bowl from the coffee table, took a sip of it himself, and said, "Dad, it's not hard to drink, I've drunk it all, you can drink it." ”

It was so sudden, it made me happy, I don't know how to be happy. I was excited, hugging my boiling emotions. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the bowl and drank the medicine in one go. When my son saw that I had finished drinking the medicine, he turned around and ran to the back room. He shouted, "Mommy, Daddy is done." ”

"Aren't you very capable, how can you drink!" the wife proudly came out of the back room and said, "It's not a piece of cake to cure you."

At ten o'clock, his son turned off the computer, and he sent Fu Xiang back to the building community. The first thing he said when he came back was, "Dad, have you thought about your classmates coming to my house to play games?"

I didn't even think about it. When my son asked, I instinctively said, "The original time and requirements for playing games remain the same, and if a classmate asks you for a while at other times." However, SARS is very dangerous, and it is recommended that people stay together as much as possible, and it is better for you and your classmates to play games less together. ”

After hearing my words, my son's big black eyes rolled a few times, and he went into the house to sleep happily.
