Chapter 14: Happy Times

When we moved out to rent a house to live, I almost cut off all contact with my parents' family, only grandpa came to see us from time to time with crutches, for a long time, no one taught the baby, as long as grandpa came, the baby would always hold the table and learn grandpa on crutches, that childish and cute appearance brought us a lot of laughter, grandpa always likes to hug the baby. Sometimes Ye'er and I are inconvenient to take the baby because we go out to do something, and the eighty-year-old grandfather can help us take the baby to play at home for a long time, and I really envy the grandfather's body, which is so healthy and tough.

Leaving the home that made me sad, leaving some bad people and bad things, my life with Ye'er has become happy and relaxed, and every weekend I will get together with a few of my little friends, sometimes at my house, sometimes at their house. At that time, the small gatherings between friends were almost all at home, and the material life was not so rich, so they could only simply cook a few small dishes at home, drink some wine, talk to each other about what they saw and heard, or make fun of each other, and life was also delicious.

The baby is not yet one year old, winter is coming, and when the spring season comes, the baby will be one year old. Since having a baby, we have a lot of fun in life, maybe it's just human instinct, people's first instinct is to eat, open their mouths to eat those foods that can allow us to survive, this is the most basic and primitive survival instinct brought by our mother's womb. Babies are no exception, always see what to take and send it to the mouth, sometimes there is really nothing to reach her hands, the baby will suck his own fingers, sometimes a finger sucking feeling is not satisfied, often will clench their own little fist to stuff it into their mouth, but maybe her fist is too big, sometimes will always be grabbed by their own saliva to cry, when Ye'er and I put down her little fist to help her wipe her nose and tears, The baby will raise her little fist again and stuff it into her mouth again. Sometimes we are busy doing our own things, and the baby will always be busy with her own things on the side, not making trouble at all, because "the fingers come with two taels of sugar", the baby is sucking his fingers or small fists with taste, and the small fingers are sometimes sucked clean by the baby himself, and the fingers are almost bloodless when sucking, pale and pale。。。。。。 I finally learned the truth that my mother often said, "Fingers bring two taels of sugar".

Diapers still have to be changed, when Ye'er brings a dry diaper next to the baby, and plans to help the baby change the diaper that has been wet with her, the baby will always take advantage of Ye'er to bow his head to change the diaper, reach out and grab a diaper, and then send it to his mouth. However, at that time, the baby may not have a sense of direction, and she is always unable to accurately stuff the diaper into her mouth, one time in her ears, and another on her neck。。。。。。 This childish action of the baby can always attract the good-natured ridicule of me and Ye'er. However, after a while, Ye Er and I found that the baby began to become smarter, the baby got the diaper and was not in a hurry to stuff it into his mouth, but the action was accurate and hard to shoot the diaper directly to his head, and then moved down the head to the nose, and finally moved to his mouth like a treasure, when the diaper was moved to his mouth by the baby in this way, the baby was always able to bite very accurately and hard, for fear that the diaper would run away again, I could even clearly feel the victorious smile of the baby. Sometimes because the force is too strong, the baby will shoot out a red mark on his head, but the baby does not cry, but always happy to do it, the baby is really smart, such a young elf, actually knows how to fight, so as to get what they want. Now that I think about it, this problem-solving strategy of the baby is that I haven't learned it until now, and my personality is still so direct, and I will always hurt others without regard for their feelings.

I often get together on weekends with a few small families, and sometimes we inevitably mention our salaries. Yes, at that time, my salary income was really low, so low that I began to doubt life, at that time my monthly salary was a little more than 300 yuan, but they were generally already 7 or 800 yuan a month, the key is unacceptable, I was ten years of hard work in exchange for everything, but they didn't have to work so easily to get, and their work is easier and more comfortable than mine, which is unacceptable to me, and I can only use self-deception such as fate to extricate myself.

Every weekend, in addition to drinking and eating, sometimes we will play mahjong for fun, I have long learned to play mahjong in getting along with this group of small people, but it can only be regarded as a will, not to mention fine, not to mention gambling, we are a few small people who belong to such people, just play mahjong small bet to kill time, every time mahjong, our gambling money is very small, who loses and who wins does not matter, people who win will always buy wine and vegetables, people who lose money also lose very little, no pain.

At that time, Ye'er didn't know how to play mahjong, I always took the trouble to teach Ye'er to play mahjong, taught Ye'er, sometimes when mahjong was missing three or one, Ye'er was also able to top, sit on the table and play a few rounds with us, slowly, Ye'er learned to play mahjong in this way. Slowly, when we go out to work during the day, Ye'er and my little wives will meet up to play a few rounds of mahjong together. At that time, I already clearly felt that Ye'er's attitude towards mahjong belonged to the level of obsession, unlike us who just regarded mahjong as a tool for recreation.

Later, Ye'er was addicted to gambling and couldn't extricate himself from gambling all his life, and whenever others talked about it, they always said that it was because I taught Ye'er to play mahjong. This is just an excuse for them not to understand the reason for Ye'er, a gambler who is addicted to gambling, that kind of selfishness, that kind of irresponsible, that is in her bones, and has nothing to do with others!
