Chapter 1: Back to the age of five
Five-year-old Lin Manman sat in front of his house, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, and muttered to himself, "What the hell is going on?" β
yes, what the hell is going on? I just took a nap, why did the whole world change? Yes, yes, one second, I was still on the African savannah, why is it here in the next second?
Red walls and tiles, fenced courtyards, isn't this where I lived with my grandmother a long time ago?
Lin Manman has been living in her grandmother's house since she was born, and she was raised by her grandmother, and her dearest person from childhood to adulthood is her grandmother. www.biquge.info As for why she was raised by her grandmother, it was because Lin Manman's mother was a worker in a chemical factory in her early years, and it was not easy to give birth to Lin Manman, although she was a girl, she was also very loving, but later the chemical plant closed down, and her parents went out to work, and Lin Manman was fostered in her grandmother's house, but she didn't expect the world to be impermanent, and in five years, she changed from a little princess in the minds of her parents to a "wild child".
Heyγγγγγγ Lin Manman held his chin and sighed, what's going on? Could it be that God saw that his life was too mediocre and aggrieved, and let himself start over?
"Manman, what are you looking at? It's going to rain, go home, or you'll get sick if you get wet. "Aunt Wang, who was passing by, saw Lin Manman sitting on the stone steps, a little strange, why is this kid sitting here alone?" Are you alone? What about your grandmother? "Everyone in the town knows that Grandma Lin has a little tail and follows wherever she goes.
This is? It turns out that Aunt Wang was like this when she was young, with a pair of ignorant big eyes, Lin Manman has been cute since she was a child, especially those eyes, bright and watery apricot eyes, followed Grandma Lin, "Aunt Wangγγγγγγ "I don't know why this is like this, don't ask me, I can't figure out what is going on, I am ignorant on the outside, and I am collapsed on the inside, ignore me, I want to calm downγγγγγγ
"Okay, then you should go back quickly, it looks like it's going to rain heavily." Looking at Lin Manman's big dark eyes and white and tender little face, how cute she looked, Aunt Wang sighed, what a good-looking child, it's a pity, fortunately I didn't have an evolution factory back then, otherwise, maybe my Xiaoyi would also have IQ problems, it's really a sin.
That's right, when I was a child, everyone always looked at themselves with such eyes, Lin Manman held his chin and sighed leisurely, it's really sad, I don't want to do it all over again with a five-year-old shellγγγγγγ
"Vines? How do you sit here, come, come into the house with grandma. Grandma carrying a big bag of things saw a small figure sitting at the door of the house from a distance, I thought it was a child playing here, but I didn't expect to get closer and found that it was my own vine, "Come, go back to the house with grandma." β
Grandma, Lin Manman stretched out her chubby little hand on grandma's hand, grandma's hand is still so warm, although I don't know what's going on, but, to see grandma again, it's really goodγγγγγγ the reason why I went to Africa, because I accidentally saw a registration activity for African teaching, at that time my brain was hot, so I signed up, life in Africa is very difficult, the language barrier, there is not much money, many people in the same company have left, I also wanted to leave at that time, As a result, I didn't expect that on the way back to China, I went back to my childhood.
Grandma put the things away and hugged Lin Manman to the chair, "Manman sits here obediently, grandma goes to cook for Manman, make Manman's favorite stewed egg, okay?" Grandma touched Lin Manman's little face, although her granddaughter is a little different from other children, but in grandma's eyes, Manman has always been the most well-behaved and lovely child in the world.
"Grandma, I'll help you γγγγγγ" Lin Manman pulled grandma's sleeve, he was not a real child. Lin Manman couldn't stand others before and always looked at him with sympathy, although he may be a little stupider than other children, but he is definitely not stupid, his previous self-esteem was strong, he held everything in his heart, and he didn't want to trust anyone, except grandma, who took his grandmother since he was a child.
"Huh? The vine is still young, can I help my grandmother when I grow up? Grandma rubbed the top of Lin Manman's hair, soft touch, such a small little person, where would she be willing to let her do it, "Manman is really a good boy, is it okay for Manman to sit here obediently now?" β
γγγγγγ Lin Manman blinked his eyes, he really wanted to help, "Grandma, I'll help you pick vegetables." β
Lin Manman finished speaking, and he usually doesn't like to talk much, but it's rare to say so many things today, and grandma is happy, "Okay, then you can help grandma pick vegetables." β
In the small kitchen, Lin Manman sat on a small stool, with the shallots that her grandmother had just bought, and she had never liked the taste of shallots, but Lin Manman picked up the shallots, and she wanted to help, since she said it, she had to do it well.
There was a light rain crackling outside the house, and Lin Manman put the selected shallots in the small basket, "Grandma, give it." β
"That's good, come, grandma will wash your hands." Grandma took a basin of water, put Lin Manman's little hand into the water, and rubbed it with soap, "Manman will go to preschool tomorrow, and he will be a primary school student in the future." "Preschool is the initiation class before the first grade of elementary school, grandma didn't want to let the vine go at the age of five, but seeing that the children in the neighborhood and the size of the vine are going to school, although I am worried that the vine will have a problem, but the child will always grow upγγγγγγ
Forehead? Preschool? Is school going to school tomorrow? "Grandma, can I not go?" At such an age, I still have to go to school with a group of children, so I feel a little embarrassed to think about it. Frowning, Lin Manman felt that he didn't really want to go to preschool, a group of children together, thinking about that scene with his toes, he felt very scary.
"Manman, children are going to school, I'll take you to sign up tomorrow, and you will go to school with Xiaoyezi in the future." Grandma rubbed Lin Manman's little hands, although she also frowned, but what she was worried about was a completely different thing, grandma was worried that her baby would be bullied by other children, "The school is not far from home, Manman goes to school obediently, and grandma cooks food for Manman every day." β
In other words, I can grow so round, and grandma is inseparable, grandma has always regarded herself as a child, often using delicious food to coax herself, "Well, good." "But who doesn't let himself be angry, but he eats this set himselfγγγγγγ
In the evening, Lin Manman clumsily ate with a spoon, Lin Manman did not eat independently until he was more than six years old, he had been fed by his grandmother before, his body has not been very good, and his development is later than that of other children, even although Lin Manman, who has an IQ γγγγγγ, has always thought that he is just a little slower than ordinary people, but it is undeniable that he is indeed not very smart.
It seems that his fingers can't be used flexibly, Lin Manman looked at the desktop sprinkled with a lot of rice grains and sighed, it seems that he has to practice hard. "Manman, it's better for grandma to feed you." Grandma looked at Lin Manman worriedly, although she didn't know what was wrong with her little granddaughter, she suddenly had to eat by herself, and she also helped herself choose vegetables, and now she even put on a distressed look, it's really a bit weird, isn't it? "Who did you play with today?" Could it be that you have encountered something dirty? Tell me what someone said that the child heard? Although the vines are still small, maybe the child can understand it.
"No, I'm playing alone." Lin Manman ate the rice in the bowl clean, and took a small handkerchief to put the rice on the table together, "Grandma, I'm full, I'm going to play." Lin Manman was strolling around at home, at this time, he and his grandmother still lived in the countryside, although the furniture was a little old, but it was cleaned by his grandmother. Because he is still young and has been sleeping with his grandmother, Lin Manman opened the door of his parents' room, although he cleaned it cleanly, but it was also desertedγγγγγγ Well, yes, his parents only come back to live for a few days every year during the New Year, and then they will leave in a hurry, and this room is naturally deserted.
After the grandmother washed the dishes and chopsticks, she wiped her hands clean, and walked around the house without seeing Lin Manman, "Manman? Pushing open the door of his son's daughter-in-law's room, "Vines? Why are you here? Manman is obedient, grandma bathes Manman and sleeps. β
"Grandma, I don't want to take a bath yet." Lin Manman suddenly thought of taking a bath by himself when he was a child, and when it was hot, he put a big bathtub in the courtyard to wash, although his body was only five years old now, but he really didn't want to run naked.
"No, you must take a bath, the vine must be obedient, be a clean child, so that mom and dad will like the vine." Grandma didn't take it seriously, children, willful.
was forcibly pulled into the yard by his grandmother, and reluctantly took off his little skirt and sat in the big bathtub, letting his grandmother rub himself.
At night, Lin Manman couldn't sleep, so he twisted and turned over and over. "Vines? What's wrong? Uncomfortable? Grandma lifted the hem of her clothes and rubbed her round little belly, "Is it uncomfortable to eat too much?" Or something else? Grandma sat up, hugged Lin Manman into her arms, a little ball, and made her heart soften, "Little girl, don't be afraid, grandma is here, grandma will rub your belly for you." Grandma coaxed softly, and even sang a lullaby. In my memory, grandma has always been a very virtuous woman, it seems that there is nothing that will not, Lin Manman, who was not sleepy, was shaken and coaxed by grandma, and after a while, she was sleepy, "Ahγγγγγγ" yawned, "Grandma, I'm going to sleep." β
"Well, go to sleep, get a good night's sleep, and get up tomorrow morning." Grandma put the gradually falling asleep Lin Manman on the bed, looked at Lin Manman's sleeping little face, couldn't help sighing, poor child, reached out and touched the position of the chest, hesitated, or reached out to pull out the red rope around the neck, below is a heavy pendant, this peace buckle is given to him by his mother, he has been carrying it since he was a child, it is said to be handed down by his ancestors, there is a meaning of protection and evil spirit, auspicious and peaceful.
Under the faint light, the emerald jade body the size of a copper coin appeared crystal clear, "God bless, let my vines grow up smoothly and peacefully." Untie the red rope, put the peace buckle on Lin Manman's neck, tie a dead knot, cover the peace buckle warmly, and stuff it into the manman's clothes, "Bless my vine to be happy and happy, God bless γγγγγγ"
