"If you don't mix more, this kid won't drink at all, and he won't be able to feed it."

"Oh, Lao Sheng, you're just using sugar water to coax the child. How can you grow up with your child like this? ”

But Xiaoqi still survived tenaciously, but it was much weaker than ordinary children.

With these words, Lao Sheng paid special attention. See if there is anything else that the child can make up.

This time, the white noodles were left for Xiaoqi to eat, and only when Xiaoqi didn't eat it, Lao Sheng drank all the batter at the bottom of the bowl with some water, which was considered to be a little eaten.

A big man, 1.8 meters tall. Such a big man, every day up and down the mountain, into the desert, the Gobi Desert to plant trees.

With such a large consumption, you can only eat a few potatoes a day. What kind of deficit should this be?

No matter how hard it is, no matter how hard the work is. Father relied on his perseverance and resilience. He finally fed the child.

Until she can eat something else and no longer just rely on goat's milk.

Wait until after eight months, when the child is able to move. Her father nailed a rope to the wall, one end on the wall, and the other end tied to Xiao Qi's waist, and tied the whole person.

Xiaoqi crawled around the size of a bed, but the whole person would fall off the bed.

When he was older, his father could only take Xiaoqi up the mountain.

Sometimes, my father would extend the rope a little more, and at this time it would be tied to the house, because the bed was no longer large enough for a small perch.

During the day, he nailed it, and when his father came back, he quickly ripped it open.

The father did not dare to open the children's rooms because of the wolves around the field.

When the child was one year old, he was able to walk, and the father nailed a longer rope to the wall so that she could play freely in the yard.

As usual, the door was locked so she wouldn't lose it.

However, during the day, my father was too busy giving birth, and when I came back, my father was very sad when he saw Xiaoqi with a rope tied to his body and fell asleep on the doorrail at the door of the room.

He doesn't leave his children alone at home, no matter how difficult it is, he takes Kosu to work.

Since then, his father and Xiaoqi have been inseparable.

Lao Sheng began to work on the mountain. This child also saw the outside world, this was the first time, and Xiaoqi was very excited.

Later, when the child was older, he was even more afraid of losing it in the mountains, and sometimes he was afraid of something unexpected on the Gobi Desert.

My father usually climbed from one mountain to another to direct the work.

You can't take Xiaoqi with you every time, and your father will draw a circle for Xiaoqi.

In fact, it is a circle with a shovel. is similar to the protective circle that Sun Wukong drew for Tang Seng in Journey to the West. My father tried to dig it up as big as he could.

"Xiaoqi, you can't get out of this circle, and when you come out, Grandma Wolf will take you away, so you must not come out." Father asked.

This Xiaoqi is very obedient, she does what her father says every time, and she has never resisted. Didn't cross that circle either.

From that time on, obedience was the only criterion for Xiaoqi to be sensible.

This thought has continued throughout the life of his father Xiaoqi.

She did not go through puberty. I didn't have the experience of resisting and colliding with my father.

At that time, I felt that I had to be obedient, to be filial to my father, and to be filial, first of all, the word "shun".

Dad's insight, my father's insight is much more than hers.

Her father is the person who loves her the most in this world, and she just wants to listen to her father, she is a sensible daughter.

After that year, my father completed his production assignment and my father became seriously ill.

When the county leaders heard this, they personally brought valuable nutritional products to see him.

Xiaoqi also has valuable nutrients to eat.

In terms of work, there are fewer production tasks in winter. But to prepare for the next year's spring planting, spring afforestation, seeds, pesticides, these materials must be prepared.

One of the more important tasks is to protect the forest and prevent fire in winter.

Winter is the peak season for illegal logging and forest protection.

Every year until the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve or the first day of the new year, my father always checked the mountains to see if there were any people who were stealing trees. Because at this time, the rangers have already gone home for the New Year.

Every year in the thirtieth year of Chinese New Year's Eve, from the first to the fifth day of junior high school, my father always sticks to his post.

The father would take Xiaoqi up the mountain to see the mountain forest that looked like his own life and his own child.

Yes, what kind of determination and practice should be needed to transform the Gobi Desert into a green green mountain oasis.

100,000 mu in 10 years, transforming the entire mountainous area and Gobi environment.

The environment has changed qualitatively, my father is also old, and the first strand of gray hair has grown on his sideburns.

But his work has not become complacent because of these achievements. On the contrary, he tried harder.

Xiaoqi also gradually grew up, and went through the most difficult time of the first year. Finally, an eight-year-old child from the local village was invited to take care of Xiaoqi.

The father looked at the boy and thought that he was also the age to study, but he did not go to school. Her father asked her how she didn't study.

The adult who brought it said that this child's family has a large population and a poor family background, and this helps the child's family to have one meal a day, and if there is some income to supplement the family, then I will be grateful to Dade.

Father sighed.

The eight-year-old child came to take care of Xiaoqi, and the father asked the fellow with the child, "How much money do you give this child?" Let's just say how much does it cost to hire a babysitter now? ”

The fellow said: "Usually hiring an adult nanny is only seven yuan a month." ”

"Oh," the father replied, pausing for a moment and saying, "Let's see if this child will let her work for a day, and see if she can look down at Xiaoqi, a child, and I don't know if she can adapt to the work of taking care of the baby like this." ”

"Okay, field manager, you try first, Xiaohong, you must obediently listen to your uncle's words, he is the field manager, be sharp, you must take care of the field director's baby, and you can't make any mistakes." This fellow explained.

I saw Xiaohong nodding a little timidly and shyly.

After explaining the explanation, the fellow left.

After the others left, the father asked the child if he was hungry or thirsty, and his attitude was very kind.

This Xiaohong looked at the field leader with a kind face, not as fierce as some officials.

Gradually, I relaxed.

After his father gave this little red a nest, the little red obviously relaxed.

Her father patiently explained all the precautions for her to take care of Xiaoqi, where the diaper is, how to use the milk, her change of clothes, and food......

This kid doesn't talk much, but he is clever, and his father's explanation is not pulled off at all, and he does it seriously.

This child is obedient, and all day long, this Xiaohong takes care of Xiaoqi very properly.

It's not just what my father told me.

Not only that, but while Xiaoqi was sleeping, he also cleaned the whole house, cleaned up the tables, put things in order, and washed his father's clothes.

When my father came back from work, he felt a little distressed when he looked at such a sensible child.

"Your family has a large population. Other people's nannies are seven yuan a month, and I will give you nine yuan, you just need to take good care of the child. ”

When the child heard this, tears flashed in his eyes, "Uncle, do you really use me and don't dislike me?" ”

That's probably what it looks like to be happy.

"Thank you, uncle, I have a job to do and make money, my mother and father at home will not dislike me, I will not dislike me as a useless girl, I will not embarrass them."

"Silly boy, boys and girls are the same, Xiaohong, you shouldn't think so, the girl is also very good, and there are many promising......"

"Really, uncle, can boys and girls really be the same?"

"Of course, if you are self-reliant, you are no worse than them."

Hearing only a wow, this Xiaohong cried: "Uncle, you are the best uncle in the world." ”

Seeing Xiaohong's red eyes crying, Lao Sheng thought to himself what kind of grievances this child should have suffered?

People in the countryside are in the northwest and have not received much cultural education, and the preference for sons over daughters seems to be a tradition that goes on endlessly.

Even today, there are many places where you want to have a boy.

Such a concept seems to be still lingering.

After saying thank you, the child took a leave of absence and ran back to tell his father the news.

Overnight, Xiaohong's father came over with Xiaohong, and also brought a basket of eggs from home.

"Field manager, you don't have to give the child so much money, an adult nanny is only seven yuan, you can give her five yuan for this child, I don't feel at ease with so much money." Xiaohong's father said.

"It's all work, I see that this kid is sensible and careful, Xiaoqi hasn't cried all day, it's good, I'll give you nine yuan if it's okay." Whether your family has a large population, she is also good at supplementing the family, and she should have studied but did not study. ”

"What does a girl doll read? I'm eight years old, and it's time to work for the family. ”

"Don't say that, it's always good for men and girls to know Braille."

"Field director, it's easy to say, such a big family, so many mouths are waiting to eat, how can she still go to school?"

"Lao Liu, don't worry, Xiaohong is at home, and she can read my books here. When I come back from work, I can teach her Braille. Father said.

"Thank you, field manager, you are such a good person, this basket of eggs is made for Xiaoqi to eat."

"Lao Liu, you don't have to be so polite."

"If you want it, you have to get it, we rural people don't have any good things, it's just this bit of eggs laid by our own chickens, don't dislike it, you give us such a high fee, you accept it, I can rest assured, and this basket of eggs can't be sold for five cents." Lao Liu said.

"Okay, I'm welcome, by the way, give the baby a day off every month, tell me in advance, I arrange the work, and I can have time to take Xiaoqi."

"Field director, you are really a good person, our family is grateful to Dade......" Lao Liu was about to kneel down when he saw it.

Lao Sheng grabbed Lao Liu and said: "What age is it, and you still say these old words, if it is in the past, I am afraid that I will be listed on the street again, and I can't kneel...... These old customs have long since been broken! ”

"The field manager is right, I am wrong about this excitement, I am ...... I'm an old man, I think...... Slow ...... who want to change"

"You just talk to me, don't talk nonsense outside......"

"Yes, I ...... I remembered. ”
