Chapter 59: Kiki's Bad Habits

"Here comes the food!" Yang Guo walked out of the kitchen with a smile, holding Kiki's bottle in his hand, shaking the milk inside, and walked towards Kiki as if showing off.

Qiqi was half-lying in the rocking chair, kicking her legs and looking at Yang Guo, the fingers of her right hand reached into her mouth, her lips rolled up and down, not knowing whether she was biting or sucking.

"Oh, Kiki, why did you eat your little hands again?" Yang Guo frowned and squatted beside the rocking chair with a puzzled expression.

Qiqi looked at her father's enlarged face and felt very happy, her left arm was raised, and she waved it in the air, almost touching Yang Guo's face, as if she wanted her father to taste it too.

Yang Guo smiled and reached out to pull out the fingers of Qiqi's right hand, stretched his head over, made a biting shape, and said threateningly: "Whoa! If you don't obey, Dad will eat you. Qiqi's saliva-stained hands were a little milky, but they were wet, so Yang Guo picked up the small handkerchief next to the rocking chair and wiped it for her.

Kiki didn't understand, but she was amused by Yang Guo's movements, her calves kicked high, touched Yang Guo's hair, and grinned.

Yang Guo took Qiqi out of the rocking chair, held it up in front of her face, put her head on her forehead, and said, "Still naughty!" Also naughty! ”

Not to be outdone, Qiqi pushed back, Yang Guo played with her for a while, and finally kissed her little cheek before happily taking her back into her arms and starting to breastfeed her.

Yang Guo watched Qiqi gulp greedily sucking the milk in the bottle, grinding the nipple at the front of the bottle with her mouth, and suddenly understood!

It turns out that Kiki likes to eat her own hands so much recently, not because she really thinks that her white and tender little hands really have anything to eat, but because she uses her little hands as a pacifier.

Yang Guo remembers the parenting books she had read before, which analyzed the reasons why children eat their hands, one of which originated from the child's attachment to the source of milk, and she would unconsciously put her little hands in her mouth and suck.

This is especially true for artificially fed children, because every time the milk in the bottle is drunk, the parents will take the bottle away, so that she has relatively few opportunities to suck, and then she will gradually turn to sucking her fingers. This will continue until the sucking reflex fades away.

There is another reason why the child eats his hands, and that is because when the child is about to teeth, the child's gums will feel uncomfortable, she will feel itchy and even painful, so she will put her little hands into her mouth more frantically to relieve such uncomfortable feelings.

No matter what the reason, Yang Guo couldn't let Qiqi gnaw on his fingers every day. Human skin will be wrinkled and even worn out if soaked in water for a long time, let alone a skin like Kiki? Looking at Qiqi, who was still desperately sucking milk, Yang Guo secretly said in his heart: "It's time to buy her a pacifier that she can bite into her mouth!" ”

At this time, Yang Guo's mobile phone rang, but Yang Guo was still breastfeeding Qiqi, and his hands couldn't be free, so he didn't answer it, and the phone rang for a long time before stopping.

Who is it? Yang Guo was very puzzled, and he would call back later.

Yang Guo noticed that the corners of Qiqi's mouth were sparkling, this was definitely not oozing when she was drinking milk now, it should be that her fingers were biting into her mouth just now, stimulating her mouth to secrete more saliva, and then it all flowed outside! After Qiqi finished drinking, Yang Guo quickly took a small towel and wiped the saliva on the corner of her mouth.

Putting down Kiki in the rocking chair, Yang Guo finally made time to pick up his phone from the coffee table after cleaning up the bottle.

"You can't eat your hands!" Yang Guo stretched out his hand and pulled out Qiqi's right hand that was biting into his mouth again, and said, "Be obedient, Dad will buy you a pacifier at night." ”

He turned his head and pressed the home button of his phone, and the screen lit up, and it turned out to be his mother calling. Yang Guo opened the unlock screen and dialed it back.

"Hello? Mother. ”

"Fruit, why are you only answering the phone now?" Xu Jinfeng asked anxiously.

Hearing Xu Jinfeng's tone, Yang Guo became nervous and hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's going on at home?" ”

"What's the matter? What's going on at home? Xu Jinfeng asked rhetorically.

"No, I'm dizzy, why are you talking so seriously about nothing, I thought something big had happened! It scared the hell out of me. I was just breastfeeding Kiki and didn't have time to answer the phone. Yang Guo said with a smile.

"I'm not worried about you. Fruit, don't you go to take any railroad lately, that, that, Brother Tie, what's the news called? ”

Yang Guo heard the microphone vaguely his father Yang Tie's rough voice: "EMU!" What railways are not railways, you don't remember what the bullet train news has said so many times! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm stupid, just you!" Xu Jinfeng scolded him, then turned his head and continued, "Guozi, yes, it's called a bullet train, you must not take a bullet train recently!" Hey, it's been talking about it in the news for the past few days, it's scared to death, two big iron boxes collided together, and hundreds of people died! Xu Jinfeng's words made Yang Guo feel that she was a little frightened now.

Yang Guo rolled his eyes, a little speechless, paused, and said, "Mom, did you watch the bullet train rear-end collision that happened last week?" ”

It happened a few days ago, two bullet trains collided together somehow, and it was rumored on the Internet at that time, how could Yang Guo not know?

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it." Xu Jinfeng said.

"It's been a long time since you told me. And it's not as horrible as you say, how can there be hundreds of deaths, the statistics on the news are out, forty people died. Yang Guo said helplessly.

"Forty is less? Didn't you see that the car was overturned, how much better could people be? Xu Jinfeng said unhappily.

"I know, I also saw the pictures of the scene, it's quite tragic, but don't be too afraid, this kind of thing doesn't happen every day, how can it happen so coincidentally?" Yang Guo said.

"I don't think you're alert!" Xu Jinfeng seriously criticized Yang Guo's arrogant attitude of not worrying about this big event, "It's over when you run into it!" Do you know? Such a big thing, you think it's a coincidence? It's not all the negligence of those who are in charge of the railway! Eating, drinking, and having fun every day, squandering people's fat and ointment, and playing games at work, how can you have the heart to work? Do you still want to take their car and put your life in the hands of such people? ”

Xu Jinfeng doesn't know if I've watched too much news or TV series lately, and I can use idioms when it comes to reasoning. This long paragraph of the lecture made Yang Guo stunned for a while. But where is Yang Guo's turn to take care of national affairs, if such a big thing happens, the railway department will definitely give an explanation to the people, don't you see that the prime minister has already rushed to the scene?

What Yang Guo has to do now is to appease the old lady's emotions, he said: "Mom, don't be angry, it's not that I don't listen to you, you see that I've been staying at home all day to take care of Qiqi recently, how can I have any chance to run outside to catch a train?" yes, I'm not going to play anywhere. ”

Xu Jinfeng thought about it at this time, her tone also softened, and said: "Whether there is or not, you have to keep an eye on it anyway, let's not take it if it's so dangerous, and it's not necessarily much faster, you can get home by taking a five- or six-hour bus ride to the passenger station." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what you said." Yang Guo echoed.

"By the way, what was last week's blind date? Tell me, how did it turn yellow? Xu Jinfeng's tone changed.

Yang Guo's head is big, why did he suddenly talk about his blind date? Yang Guo wailed in his heart: "Mom, I want to talk to you about current affairs and politics!" Let's not change the topic so quickly, okay? ”

Yang Guo stubbornly explained the other party's situation to his mother, and then accepted the bombardment of his mother's half-hour education on marriage with a bitter face. The history of struggle from childhood to adulthood has given Yang Guo rich experience in dealing with his mother, and in this case, he must not talk back to his mother. Debating with Xu Jinfeng, who is a good teacher, is definitely an act of death. The method can be summed up in one word, "drag"!

Drag until my mother speaks dry, drag until my mother speaks happily, and drag until my mother is willing to put down the phone. Anyway, after putting down the phone, Yang Guo can leave behind everything his mother said before, he is now far away in Yangcheng, and the emperor is far away, so he can't interfere with his mother.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Guo collapsed on the sofa like an amnesty, and threw away the hot mobile phone far away, thinking that he was finally saved!

Turning his head to look at Qiqi, Yang Guo couldn't help but jump up again.

"Kiki, why are you sticking your fingers in your mouth again!" Yang Guo pinched Qiqi's little face angrily, pulled her right hand out again, and held it down, preventing her from putting it back again. Even if Kiki snorted dissatisfiedly, Yang Guo refused to let go.

In the afternoon, Yang Guo got up and routinely opened the backstage of Yiyan.com, and found that after a week, the recruitment project for translators of the biography of Sect Master Qiao, which he thought was completely out of play, finally came.

Yang Guo passed the first round of trial translation, and like the other forty-nine people who passed, he received an invitation for the second round of trial translation.

"Papapa", Yang Guo pressed all the knuckles of both hands, and clicked the button to accept the second round of trial translation with a fighting face, and the page jumped to a new document page.

The second round of trial translations is Walter, the author of Joe's biography? An excerpt from another work by Isaacson. Of course, it is not his more famous bestsellers who have long had Chinese translations, and Yiyan Network will not be stupid enough to put "Kissinger's Biography", "Benjamin? Franklin's Biography: The Life of an American" and "Albert Einstein: Life and the Universe" were brought to them.

This selection comes from an article he published in one of the company's publications when he was the editor-in-chief of Time magazine, which is not popular in China and naturally not many people have read it.

However, Yang Guo is just one of the few people who have read the original text. Some time ago, after submitting the first round of translations for this audition, he searched all of Isaacson's works on the Internet. Yang Guo's original intention was to familiarize himself with Isaacson's writing style and some of the rhetorical devices he used, but he didn't expect to read this article on a website by mistake.

Although Yang Guo only understood the article in English at that time, it did not prevent him from memorizing the entire article at that time. Seeing this excerpt, Yang Guo immediately recalled the content of the full text, and the next thing to do is very simple, Yang Guo only needs to translate the understanding in his mind into Chinese, and then slightly polish, and the translation is freshly baked.

"It's not very difficult...... Yang Guo sent the translation back, tilting his head and stretching his waist, thinking very weakly.
