I sat in Miss Shi's car, and I fell asleep after getting in the car. It wasn't until the car was parked in the parking lot of the community that I was woken up by my mother.

Miss Shi lives alone in a suite, about 50 square meters, and the furniture is square with a modern atmosphere, with a unified black and white tone. Ms. Shi turned on the TV, pulled out a disc of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" from the CD drawer and put it into the VCD player. My mother and Miss Shi cooked together in the kitchen, leaving me alone on the sofa to watch cartoons. I sat and sat with my eyelids drooping, and my eyes were half-open and half-closed when I ate. My mother had a bad seizure when she was away from home, so she had to spoon feed me a few mouthfuls of food. When Miss Shi saw me like this, she said to her mother, "Let Miao Miao go to sleep in the room, and when he wakes up, heat up a hot meal in the microwave and then give him something to eat." ”

After a few days of tiring travel, I couldn't get up until I was stuck to the bed, and I didn't wake up until I was hungry the next day.

Today, Miss Shi took my mother to visit the factory, and I didn't want to watch cartoons at home alone, so I went with them.

At that time, it was in a period of rapid development, and there were no perfect measures for the pollution control of the factory. So when you enter the factory area, the sky is foggy, and all kinds of pungent smells are mixed in the air. There is also a fine layer of dust on the road, which is raised by the car as it passes by.

The first thing Miss Shi took her mother to visit was her own hardware factory, which mainly produces faucets, copper valves, and pipe fittings. Due to the poor breathability of the factory workshop, the man working inside was naked, and only wore an apron around his neck to shield himself from the splashing hot metal scraps.

We had lunch in the factory cafeteria and brought it to the workshop office. During the meal, Miss Shi said openly and honestly: "Sister Liu, you have also seen it, and our factory is like this." Now there is still no shortage of orders, but here we have dozens of factories of all sizes, if we still stick to the business model of our fathers and do not go out, I am afraid it will be a matter of time before they close. ”

My mother put down the lunch box in her hand and said, "Miss Shi, if you call me sister, I don't treat you as an outsider. I took a look at it today, and there are indeed some problems in the factory. First of all, the production operation of those workers in our workshop is not standardized, which is prone to potential safety hazards; In addition, I roughly looked at some finished products, the weight is not as heavy as that made by the state-owned factory, and a few pieces can be seen to be cracked if you look closely, and the closure is not smooth; Finally, if the hardware products are not produced in accordance with the standards, they are basically waste products if they are not consistent with other products when they are used. ”

Miss Shi held her mother's hand like a bosom friend and said, "Sister, your words are really to the point. Ever since my father left, the factory was in my hands, and there have been constant problems. Not only last month did a worker break his finger, and two shipments have been returned this week, and I'm in a mess right now. The old employees who used to be in charge of the factory didn't take me seriously at all, and if I continued like this, I would inevitably close down in less than two months. If I can, I hope that Sister Liu will stay here for a while and help me manage the factory together. ”

My mother didn't immediately agree, nor did she refuse. After dinner, Miss Shi took her mother to visit the factories of her second, third and fourth uncles.

Miss Shi's father relied on the relationship of running boats for many years, and Miss Shi's father made a fortune in a few years, so the other three brothers also built factories here one after another, and their family almost monopolized the hardware and building materials industry back then. Also due to years of running boats, Miss Shi's father fell ill and died as soon as he entered the sixtieth birthday. Miss Shi also has the eldest brother and second sister, all of whom have settled in Nanyang and have their own businesses, so the family factory is all counting on her, a little sister in her early twenties. Although Miss Shi graduated from economics, she is completely different from the old sea wolf that her father has experienced in the wind and waves. Without the pillars and pillars, the old trees in the factory are falling and scattered, and the walls are pushed by everyone, all looking forward to bulldozing the mountain of Miss Shi and setting up her own door. After all, her mother went to the countryside at the age of fifteen to practice, and then polished in the supply and marketing system.

Miss Shi hired her mother as the acting factory director, and her position was second only to herself. For the next period of time, my mother and Miss Shi went out every morning, leaving me alone at home. Miss Shi bought me a red and white machine and a bunch of game cards. I belong to the kind of game that must be passed to play a game, and the first game I played was 'Takahashi Celebrity の Adventure Island IV.'. At the beginning of the screen, a star flies to the island, and I don't know what to do, and then the protagonist in a straw skirt and hat appears to chase a snake wearing glasses with a sledgehammer, and after both disappearing on the left side of the screen, the protagonist is chased into dust by the snake that threw away the coabras after eating. After clicking the start button, the screen officially enters the game.,The stupid and cute protagonist runs to his cute girlfriend.,Suddenly the sky turns purple.,A guy with only eyes and a mouth appear.。 I thought I was going to kidnap my girlfriend, but who knew that this stupid guy didn't know how to buy and only swallowed a few little dinosaurs. At first, all I knew was how to throw bones, not even how to get down the stairs. But I was naturally in love with each other, and it took me a long time to explore inside and out of the cabin before I basically understood how to operate.

When my mother and Miss Shi were not at home, they prepared all kinds of dry food, drinks and snacks for me. I was a free-range kid, hungry to eat bread, thirsty to drink milk, to eat potato chips, to concentrate on the game. Mom and Miss Shi came home in the afternoon looking exhausted, but I looked more haggard than they did. After a week of hard work, I finally eliminated the big eggplant that had encroached on the island, and finally ran wild on the beach with my girlfriend holding hands, and finally hugged happily under a coconut tree. When the game ended, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

1997 is destined to be a special year, a year of great joy for our country. Our Pearl of the Orient has finally returned to the embrace of the motherland after being separated for a hundred years. On the afternoon of June 30, Ms. Shi drove my mother and me to witness this historic moment. Since my mother and I didn't have passports, we could only look at the beautiful city across the river. The SZ River was crowded with people, and my mother was afraid that I would lose my heart again like I did at the train station, so we found a place with fewer people. At midnight on July 1, countless fireworks rose in the distance, and the crowd that had been waiting on the riverside for several hours was boiling. In fact, it is not only a few hours of waiting, but also the banks of the SZ River.

The cheering crowd blocked my view, and I was so anxious that I pulled my mother's sleeve and shouted, "Mom, Mom, quickly carry me up, I can't see it, I can't see it." ”

Miss Shi helped me to my mother's back, and my mother pointed to the fireworks in the distance and said, "See? Our motherland will become stronger and stronger, and our family will be better and better. ”

At one o'clock in the morning, Miss Shi took us to SZ's restaurant to eat Teochew food. I finally understand what a city that never sleeps, and a city that never sleeps is, even if it's one o'clock in the morning, you can still sit in a restaurant and eat lobster and abalone.

The dishes on the table are quite exquisite, but I am never used to eating them, because the condiments are missing chili peppers, and I always feel that the tip of the tongue is bland and tasteless. Mom and Miss Shi were eating and discussing the development of SZ in recent years, and I fiddled with the dishes and chopsticks to listen to their speeches, and then interjected and asked, "Mom, has this place really only taken more than ten years to become what it is today?" ”

My mother looked at the brightly lit city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant and said, "That's right! A grandfather surnamed Deng drew a circle here, and then a mythical city rose here, and mountains of gold miraculously gathered. ”

I scratched my ears and cheeks, and I couldn't understand what kind of magic this Grandpa Deng used to draw the land for the city. So he asked, "So, why doesn't Grandpa Deng draw a few more circles, so that everywhere can become the same as here, isn't it?" ”

In the face of my such a strange brain circuit, my mother was also speechless for a while. Miss Shi quipped: "Miao Miao studies hard and will become a great person in the future." In this way, you can draw a few more circles for Grandpa Deng, and it is better to draw circles everywhere, so that there are SZ everywhere. ”

My mother pinched my face and said, "I don't expect him to do anything big in the future, as long as he doesn't get me into trouble, thank God." ”

In mid-July, my mom couldn't stand me playing games all day, and she decided to send me back to my dad herself. In a month, I gained a lot of weight and became the youngest dead fat house.

At the airport security checkpoint, Miss Shi pulled her mother and said reluctantly: "Sister Liu, you must come back, whether my sister can pass this hurdle is all up to you!" ”

My mother held Miss Shi's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll come back after sending Miao Miao back." Besides, I don't dare to open a store with a product like this now! ”

It took four days for the train to arrive, and the plane took only a few hours. When I got off the plane, my dad was already waiting at the exit gate. Mom explained a few words to my dad and had to catch the next flight back. Dad complained, "You're just coming back and you're leaving, so you can't go home for two days and then go back?" ”

My mother said sharply: "What's the matter, if her factory closes down, my resignation and business will be in vain." Why do you think I'm fighting so hard, it's not for this family. ”

Dad has always raked his ears, and when his mother yelled at him like this, he immediately said pitifully: "Xiaofeng, pay attention to your body over there, don't get tired." ”

The old mother's tone was also gentle and said, "You also have to take good care of yourself, if you can't do it, send Miao Miao to his grandfather's house." ”

There is a rumor in the small town that I have traveled far away to be coated with gold, and now that I have returned to my hometown, it seems that I have also been plated with a layer of gold. Originally, I didn't like to talk, but when the family got together at dinner, I gestured with my hands and feet, and I couldn't use words, so my father half-guessed and half-deceived me to express them. I added fuel to the experience of this long journey, and I talked about it in a big way. It's really fanciful, because I don't even understand what I'm talking about. Godparents listened attentively to my nonsense, in fact, they have been to more places, and farther, they have even been to the great capital to perform. Yiqing really made me confused, with an expression that she couldn't go to her godmother immediately and was also gold-plated.

When I got home, everything was the same, and I felt that everything had changed. The adults in the family have to go to work during the day, and Yiqing has to go to kindergarten. Public kindergartens have early summer vacation, but in order to cooperate with parents who go to work, private kindergartens such as 'Lianglianghua Kindergarten' are open all year round, which is nothing more than to solve the problem of parents with their babies by paying more.

Originally, Miss Shi asked me to bring back the red and white machine, but my mother beat me to death and didn't let me bring the game console home. Miss Shi secretly stuffed a bunch of game cards into the brand-name schoolbag she bought for me, but there was no game console, what was the use of asking for a bunch of cards. So I pestered my dad to buy me a game console, and my dad called my mother very unassertively to ask for my mother's consent, but my mother replied with three words, not allowed to buy it. In order not to waste a bunch of game cards, I instigated Yiqing to let her stick to her godfather and godmother. Unexpectedly, my mother had the foresight to talk to my godmother on the phone, and strangled my plan in the cradle.

I'm alone at home, the courtyard door is locked, and I don't watch TV. I felt like I was going crazy, running around the yard alone, and when I was tired of running, I went back to the house and fell asleep.

Running every day is not an option, and I have a terrible headache after sleeping for a long time in the summer. In order to find something to do for myself, I started to 'explore' at home. The so-called adventure is rummaging in the corners, under the bed, behind the cupboard, in the flower pots, and I found that I was not the only one in this family. There were spiders under the bed, cockroaches behind cupboards, earthworms under the dirt of the flower pots, and I even used my chopsticks to pick out a centipede-like worm under the bluestone slab in the gutter.

It didn't take long for me to recognize all the bugs in my house, and my goals turned to more unknown territory. I opened the old newspapers that my father had wrapped up and spread them on the ground one by one to read the contents on them, but naturally I couldn't read the words on them. But the act of spreading these old newspapers from the house to the yard was a lot of fun for me, especially when I saw the surprised look on my father's face when he came back, and I was even more sure that it was meaningful. That night, my father sold all the old newspapers to the tattered ones.

Dad locked all the cabinets in the house, but Mom's dresser didn't have a lock, and Dad couldn't keep it even if he wanted to. My mother wouldn't let me near this dresser when she was home, but now she's thousands of miles away. So I laid out all the jars on the countertop. The alabaster that broke the tin box was fragrant, and I smeared it on my face like my mother. Because the smell was so good, I picked out a large lump and smeared it on my hands, belly, and thighs, and the whole person became more fragrant than the flowers in the courtyard. I sniffed the scent from my body and nodded in satisfaction before putting down the half-box of alabaster. I reached for the carton with a beautiful woman printed on it, and as soon as I picked it up, the body of the box detached from the lid and the powder inside was sprinkled on the table. In the spirit of not wasting it, I put the powder that had been scattered into the box along with the dust that had been deposited on the dresser for a long time. In my frustration, I accidentally knocked over a porcelain jar, and the delicate jar rolled to the table. Luckily, I caught the jar just as it was about to hit the ground, but the lid wasn't so lucky and fell to the ground and shattered in half. I picked up the lid on the floor and put it together, and the lid was tightly closed on the jar, so that I couldn't see any cracks unless I looked closely. When I put the jar on the countertop, I noticed that my palms were stained with some grease from the jar, and they were red like blood. I licked it with the tip of my tongue, a faint smell of roses.

After fiddling around for a long time, I didn't think it was too interesting, and I turned my eyes to my mother's high heels on the shoe rack. It seems that I have been on a par with my mother today, and I am particularly interested in her things. I practiced walking in my high heels, and I wondered how my mom could still walk like a fly in this thing. In fact, what I should have doubted the most at the time was that my mother knew that my claws were reaching out to her treasures, and what she would do with me.

Although I cleaned the battlefield, the smell that permeated the house betrayed me. After my father went to the dresser to check on it, he reported the situation to my mother in time. From a long distance, I could hear my mother's anger on the phone.

"Send him, send him to the countryside to his grandfather tomorrow."
