Chapter 2 No. 1 Middle School Family Hospital
I was born in an era when there was no shortage of materials, when the spring breeze of reform and opening up had been blowing for nearly ten years, and my father ran back to No. 1 Middle School after his second failed trip to the sea, and continued to be his middle school teacher.
That's how I came into this world. I was born in the summer, according to my mother, she woke up in the middle of the night, the amniotic fluid soaked the sheets under her, she woke up her snoring father violently, and said with a pale face: "Xu Yi, I'm going to give birth, send me to the hospital." ”
Dad looked at his mother, who was moving like a fish out of water, and stood by the bed at a loss, or his mother's angry scolding brought him back to his senses. He began to pack up his things in a hurry, rummaging through the cabinet to find the small clothes that he had prepared a long time ago, running to the bathroom and taking out the big basin he had bought, and then opening the drawer and taking out a small quilt made by someone he didn't know...... Mom couldn't hold it anymore and shouted, "Go to the hospital first, and we'll talk about these things later." Dad was so frightened that he let go of his hand and everything fell to the ground. In this way, when the parents left for the hospital, Dad's hands did not bring anything except to support Mom.
After tossing and turning for several hours, I was finally born with the newborn sun. This is the origin of my name, when my cry reached outside the delivery room, the sun just showed its head, my father was moved by such a moment, and immediately decided to pass all the names he had thought of with my mother before, and gave me a unique name in his heart - Xu Chuyang.
The family building of No. 1 Middle School started as rows of bungalows, and later the school was built, and all of them were demolished and built into the most foreign five-story building at that time, but the gray and non-slippery earth gray painted on the outside made it no longer so dazzling. There are only a few family buildings, and there are still more than 30 rooms left, except for those old workers who have lived in bungalows from the beginning, so even if it is said that the sky is broken, there will still be some teachers who have already formed a family who cannot be assigned to the room. Those teachers who were not assigned a house complained every day that they were unlucky, and complained in front of the leaders from time to time, and the leaders had to say perfunctorily: "Don't worry, I have applied to my superiors, and I believe that there will be a solution soon." "Probably no one expected that this would soon have made them wait for almost 20 years.
Our family was fortunate that our parents met all the requirements for a separate room – being far away from home (more than an hour by car), working as a couple, having a child or a child about to be born, and both of us having worked for more than five years. So, half a year before I arrived, my parents moved into a new house.
This house is also 60 square meters, a door on the right hand side is the kitchen, on the left hand side is the parents' master bedroom, and the door is directly opposite my small room, my room is on the right side of the bathroom, the bathroom is the living room to the right, and then down is a small balcony, although the sparrow is small, all the organs are complete.
I was brought home by my parents on the third day of my birth. Mom only had a few months of maternity leave, so from the day she came home, she was thinking about what I was going to do when she went to work. No, grandma's house is out of town, too far away, if you send it over, it is estimated that you can see each other several times a year during the winter and summer vacations, which is cruel to the mother who wants to be in touch with her children at any time, she will never do this. Grandpa's work is busier than that of his parents, which is even more unrealistic.
No one expected that Aunt Xiao's arrival would solve the problem that had worried her mother for a long time. That day, Aunt Xiao purely came to see if I was really as white and fat as others described when I was already full moon, but seeing that my mother was at a loss, she still put aside the "business" of coming to see me and chatted with my mother about family life. Aunt Xiao said, "What's the matter?"
Mom said: "It's not a matter of watching the children, I'll go to work after a while, it's okay that my class with Xu Yi is not heavy, but no one will watch it at the beginning of the day, it's really disturbing." ”
Aunt Xiao asked, "Can't the two old men come?"
Mom sighed and said, "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be so worried." My parents can't leave work, my parents-in-law do their own business, if it's okay to send Chuyang over, it's unrealistic to let them come. The mother then said, "Hey, I envy those who have old people to help with their children." ”
Aunt Xiao said, "There will be a way, or you can go out and find a nanny." ”
Mom's tone was full of worry: "I thought about it at first, but I'm still scared, and I'm not at ease." ”
Aunt Xiao smiled, as if she remembered something, her eyes lit up and said, "By the way, do you remember Mr. Liu's house?
Mom agreed, "Mmmmmm, that's a solution." But after thinking about it, he said angrily: "There is really no one in my family who can come over, hey, forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”
Aunt Xiao stopped answering, at this time she finally remembered the "business", and began to bow her head to tease me, who was struggling all over, and said with words in her mouth: "Xiao Chuyang, grow up quickly, and play with Sister Xiao Qiao in the future." ”
Aunt Xiao stayed until her father came home from class to cook before she raised her ass and was ready to leave, but after taking a step, she came back and sat down, and said solemnly to her mother: "Actually, there is another way, we don't take my mother-in-law over to take Xiao Qiao, I was thinking, if you can rest assured, when you go to work, you will send Chuyang to my house, let my mother-in-law watch together, they are just a few months away, and they can be playmates together." ”
Mom was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said, "Really? Is this okay? Wouldn't it be too much trouble for Auntie?"
Aunt Xiao said, "What's the trouble? Look at one is to watch, and look at both as well." Besides, at most, Chu Yang asked my mother-in-law to help take care of it when you both had classes at the same time, so how long would it take?"
Mom said gratefully, "Thank you so much, really." Shall I ask the old man's opinion?"
Aunt Xiao said, "What do you ask? My mother-in-law has a good temper, and I can have the final say." ”
Mom said, "Really? Then I'll thank you in advance." ”
Aunt Xiao smiled and said, "You're welcome. ”
In this way, I was "fostered" out by my mother. After that day, my mother would run to Aunt Xiao's house if she was fine, saying that she would contact her feelings in advance, familiarize herself with the environment, and save time for crying. Every time, she would take a small gift to coax Aunt Xiao's good-natured mother-in-law to sweetness.
Mother's trick really worked, it is said that no matter which time I was sent to Aunt Xiao's house, I did whatever I wanted more like the master of his family.
The elderly like to hang out, and grandma is no exception. Every day, she would push me and Xiao Qiao around the family home, stopping and chatting with people when they met them. When we couldn't leave, we sat in the car. When we left, Grandma stopped caring about us, she continued to talk to people, and I took Little Joe to be naughty. I even got all the kids of the same age in the family home together and made trouble together.
Later, I became what they called a "troublemaker" who they loved and hated.
This half-walled family home carries all the memories of my childhood and adolescence. I even feel that the memories here are the guiding lights that guide my life, because in the future, no matter how difficult the problems I encountered, as long as I think about the memories I have, I am no longer afraid, and I have the courage to move forward......
