Chapter Ninety-Three: You Huashan

In July 2008, Yang Yang finally finished his primary school career after six years of stumbling. I really didn't expect it to be such www.biquge.info a process before he enrolled. Sometimes I am ashamed of this society, and when a child first starts his life, he sees a lot of ugly things. But then I think about it, the world is like this, and the pure and beautiful world will always exist only in the imagination. Although some teachers behave against public morality, it is also human nature, and they are also trying to survive. Survival itself is a very selfish process, and the world is constantly evolving and changing in the midst of your scramble. When I think about it, I don't feel sorry for the actions of these teachers, because I can't expect everyone to be noble. Besides, it is also beneficial to let Yang Yang experience some setbacks, which will hone his will, enhance his resilience, and make him more capable of fighting the wind and rain in the future. Of course, you can't just let him wade through the mud, that will stop him from moving forward, or even destroy him. So I still have to try my best to help him find or create a flat environment, the child needs help and guidance, because he is too young, in the end he has to go there, whether he will succeed in the future has a lot to do with the guidance and help of our adults.

Yangyang's exam results at the time of graduation from elementary school can be said to belong to the level that dare not show people, and no one can get an A. But this did not affect my confidence in cultivating Yangyang, I firmly believe that I will raise a child who is self-reliant and self-reliant, isn't there still junior high school, high school, and university? There is still a long way to go, and I have enough time to shape him. In fact, every time I see Yangyang's worrying exam results, I comfort myself: this is only temporary, one day, my son will jump up, it will be impressive!

Therefore, I decided to choose a school with a better learning environment and a homeroom teacher with a good reputation for him when he entered junior high school in Yangyang. This is the conclusion I came to after accompanying Yang Yang through his six years of elementary school. When I first enrolled in Yangyang, it was too naΓ―ve for me not to choose a school or a teacher, and I trusted others too much, so that it caused a wound to Yangyang that would be difficult to repair for the rest of my life.

Fortunately, the haze has passed, at least temporarily, and now what is unfolding in front of Yang Yang is a relaxing summer vacation without homework. Tourism is an indispensable part of this holiday season. I originally wanted Yangyang to go to the summer camp, but I heard that most of the organizers of the summer camp are also a group of people who only value money and don't understand education, and the cost is high, so I dispelled this idea and changed to an affordable self-guided tour.

Our tourist destination is Xiyue Huashan!

Lu Tao wanted to take care of his business and didn't go with us. On the road with me were Liu Jia's mother and son, and my unit's office director, Sister Wang's mother and daughter. Liu Jia has transferred her almost unprofitable children's clothing stall and has nothing to do for the time being, so she has time to travel with her son. Originally, I was going to ask Liu Mei's mother and son to go together, but I didn't want Xingxing, who was about to enter the third grade of junior high school, to attend cram school during the holidays and had no time to go out to play.

Before departure, we bought round-trip train tickets and booked a local hotel. The train tickets that Sister Wang and I bought for ourselves and our children were all sleeper tickets, and only Liu Jia bought two hard-seat tickets for herself and her son. I know that Liu Jia is trying to save money, and I can understand her - she is single, has no stable job, and does not make a lot of money in business, Liu Jia's economy is indeed tight.

The problem is that after getting in the car, I couldn't bear to watch Kai Kai sit in the hard seat, so I had to switch with Kai Kai, I sat with Liu Jia in the hard seat, and let Kai Kai and Yang Yang sleep in the sleeper together.

After we arrived in Xi'an, we spent a day in the city. There are three deepest impressions left on me in Xi'an: one is the ancient city wall, the other is the musical fountain, and the other is the spicy dough. Needless to say, it is not uncommon to see the ancient city wall in the ancient capital of Xi'an. What struck me was the musical fountain, and the one in Xi'an was the most magnificent one I've ever seen. And the spicy dough of Xi'an made me dare not take a second bite after taking one bite because it was too spicy!

After a hurried tour of Xi'an City, the next day, our three women and three children headed for Huashan. Because I have heard of the steepness of Mount Hua, I was not surprised when the majestic and steep Mount Hua appeared in front of me.

Huashan is a stone mountain, made of a kind of gray-white stones, the trees on the mountain all grow from the cracks in the stones, looking at it from a distance, the whole mountain gives people a feeling of solid and powerful, clean and neat, not as lush and green as Nanyue Hengshan, mother-in-law is soothing.

As soon as he came to the foot of Huashan Mountain, Yang Yang looked very excited, obviously, he was very interested in challenging this steep mountain.

We took a section of the gondola before we started to hike the mountain, because the real pedal pass is the place where the cable car arrives, and if you start pedaling from the bottom of the mountain, you won't be able to find the way at all.

Before kicking the mountain, Sister Wang and Liu Jia bought a lot of bottles of water and drinks. Obviously, Liu Jia was worried that the water on the mountain was expensive and she couldn't afford it, while Sister Wang bought more than ten bottles of water on her back at the request of her daughter.

Sister Wang's daughter Jiajia is a college student in her early twenties, and this girl, who has reached the age of love and marriage, likes to talk to her mother in a commanding tone. Originally, her mother didn't want to carry too much water, saying that there was also water sold in the mountains, but she was worried that she would not be able to drink water on the road, so she forced her mother to carry more water up. And she herself didn't know how to share the burden with her mother at all, she walked in front of her with her empty hands, and her mother, Sister Wang, followed her with a large bag of water on her back. I was amazed that this child used his mother as a servant. Perhaps this mistake lies with Sister Wang herself, who did not teach her children to respect their elders and practice filial piety, but mistook her mother's role as a nanny.

Compared to Sister Wang, I am very proud of myself. Because my son Yangyang always carried the heaviest bag on his back, but left me a small satchel with change. I asked to carry that big backpack, but Yang Yang refused. Although he was only twelve years old, he was already taking care of me as a woman like a man. My son and I only brought two or three bottles of water, and Yangyang said that we could buy them on the road after drinking. Although the higher you go, the more expensive the water is, our mother and son's point of view is that since they come out to play, they don't have to be stingy with the hundred and ten dollars. Besides, you have to go into battle in simple clothes, and it is difficult to pedal to the top of the mountain with too many things on your back.

Huashan really lives up to its name, and it took us more than two hours to pedal to the south peak of Huashan. Along the way, we walked and rested, and we were amazed to see the migrant workers who carried stones and various food goods to the mountains all year round easily overtook us. I saw that if it weren't for this artificially hewn stone step, there would be no way to go up to Huashan!

Only by stepping on the top of the mountain will you experience the fairyland-like beauty of Huashan. When the mountains and white clouds are trampled under our feet, we seem to feel that we are immortals in the sky! There are Taoist priests who live on the mountains, and I envy them, they are immortals! Their refreshness from the top is in sharp contrast to the turbidity of the city people crowded into the buildings. They had blue skies above their heads, white clouds under their feet, and a few people occupied a large mountain. The city people are stepping on the hard cement road, inhaling all kinds of toxic exhaust gases, and a large family occupies dozens of square meters of space. But the vast majority of people still like to live together in a group and live that kind of glittering city life, because living in the city can enjoy the distinctness of human beings, can satisfy various desires, and can make people live more like a person. The light life of the alpine Taoist priests is something that few people can adapt to, and the Taoist priests live like a tree on the mountain, and they are not much different from the surrounding rocks and trees. In the eyes of the poet, the tree may be higher and the person more vulgar. However, I think that there is nothing wrong with these two realms of life, and the way of life that everyone likes is probably the highest state of the individual.

In fact, what moved me was not only my backpack, whether it was up or down the mountain, he always grabbed the chain with one hand and grabbed me with the other, and kept telling me: "Mom, pay attention, don't fall down the mountain and die!" His true and straightforward words often caused Sister Wang and Liu Jia to laugh, but I couldn't laugh, and tears covered my eyes from time to time. Yang Yang constantly reminded me with the strong word "death", expressing his deep attachment and love for me directly, and also made me feel his fear of losing me. I think I am a very successful mother because I have a very sensible son. I also feel so happy because I have a son like Yangyang.

When we went down to the foot of the mountain, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and we wanted to take the car to Xi'an city as soon as possible, because it would take more than two hours to return to the city from Huashan, and it would be dark if we returned to the city if we were late. But just when everyone was in a hurry to get on the bus, Yangyang walked into a shop at the foot of the mountain and refused to come out. He fell in love with a Japanese katana! I looked at the price tag, 500 yuan!

"Don't buy a knife for your child, it's dangerous!" Sister Wang whispered to me.

"It's just that you can't play with knives with anything. Liu Jia and Sister Wang said the same thing.

But I knew that the Japanese katana was Yangyang's favorite toy, and he wanted to collect such a knife for a long time. To buy or not to buy? I thought about it for less than a minute, and then I said to the clerk, "Pack this knife for me and send it back to me." ”

I bought this knife for Yangyang, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get on the train with the knife, so I left the address for the clerk and asked the merchant to send it back to me.

After buying the knife, Yang Yang didn't say anything until he was halfway through the car, he spoke, and he said to me: "Mom, I thought you wouldn't buy me a knife, but I didn't expect you to really buy it for me, I feel like I'm in a dream now, I can't believe it's real." ”

Looking at my son, I said, "Mom knows you like it, so she bought it for you, but when you get home, you have to store the knife, don't take it out and play with it, don't put this knife in danger." ”

"I know Mom, I'm just keeping it at home and not going to take it out. Yang Yang said.

After this trip, I feel that Yangyang has changed, become obedient, more respectful of his parents, and become more planned, what Lu Tao and I asked him to do under normal circumstances, he would not refuse, as if he had suddenly grown two years older. In the past, he lost his temper and had poor self-control, and often could not complete his homework on time or turn off the computer and TV on time as required by his parents. It seems that the power of that Japanese katana is enormous. Children are like that, if you respect him and really love him, he will respect you and love you! )
