Chapter 205: Childhood Memories (1)
It's another year of spring benefits, and it's better than the smoke and willows all over the imperial capital.
At that time, Xiao Wulie's favorite toy was dinosaurs, electric dinosaur toys, and I remember that there were many types of electric dinosaur toys at that time. Like the Tyrannosaurus rex with its two-legged tongue shining and making music, the four-legged Stegosaurus and Triceratops, and the winged Pterosaurus. These ancient reptilian creatures aroused Xiao Wulie's strong interest at that time.
I remember that "Jurassic Park" was released in 1993, and the thrilling plot in it, as well as the image of the Tyrannosaurus rex roaring in the sky, left a deep impression on Xiao Wulie, and he fell in love with everything about dinosaurs, art, books and games.
He often imagined himself walking into a time tunnel to a Jurassic or Cretaceous Earth, riding a massive brontosaurus or a triceratops with three horns on its head. Survive in the rainforest and build a bonfire by the lake, grill fish and meat. It must have been a very pleasant feeling. He would even fantasize about whether he would be able to find a large cavern closer to the water source, which would protect him from other beasts, and also shelter himself and his mount.
I heard that there was much more oxygen on the earth at that time than on the earth now, so the creatures at that time would grow so big and have vitality. Life on earth is pulsating, whether ancient or modern, Xiao Wulie will imagine standing alone in the endless forest, he is like Tarzan of the apes, looking at the sunset in the distance. At night, you can go back to the cave with your mount, build a bonfire to keep warm and drive away mosquitoes and beasts, and eat some wild fruits before going to bed.
Xiao Wulie liked to play alone at that time, he was not unsociable, but he liked the feeling of playing alone, he liked solitude and enjoyed solitude. In the world at that time, he really liked to collect books, he had a lot of books, especially children's books, such as "100,000 Whys", "Dinosaur World", "Aesop's Fables" and so on, his parents bought him back, he didn't like to show others, but he enjoyed all this alone, not selfish and didn't know how to share, but he loved books very much, a good collection of books can take care of his books, he was afraid that other children would stain or tear up his books.
I also remember that in 2002, "Blue Cat Naughty 3000 Questions: Dinosaur Era" was released, at that time, the children's channel had not yet been established, and "Blue Cat Naughty 3000 Questions" was only broadcast on CCTV3 channel. Of course, Xiao Wulie is very much looking forward to the cartoon time at six o'clock every evening, every time Xiao Wulie will turn on the TV, and then watch the cartoon intently, those colorful pictures, twists and turns of the storyline, and the cute children's voice, are often echoed in Xiao Wulie's mind.
Regarding Xiao Wulie's behavior of liking to watch cartoons, Yan Qing didn't say anything, because she knew that it was a child's nature. But this point really makes Chengxiong very dissatisfied, a bit like our current parents saying that our bad eyes are all because of playing with mobile phones. Every time I watched TV, I had to pay attention to whether my father was coming back, because pressing the remote control was too slow, so he would secretly stand in front of the TV, while watching the TV, one arm touching the TV switch button, and turn off the TV when my father came.
Once, when Cheng Xiong returned home, Xiao Wulie was still looking at the TV. After the door of the house was opened with a "creak", Xiao Wulie immediately pressed the switch button of the TV, and then hurriedly ran to the kang to write his homework. He plunged down, looked at his book, and pretended to be working hard.
As a father who has experienced the heat and coldness of the world, he will be coaxed by his own son. He walked behind the TV, and then stretched out his wide palm to caress the butt of the TV, which was hot, and of course Seong-woong knew what was going on.
"Xiao Wulie, were you watching TV just now?"
"No, I didn't." Xiao Wulie said vaguely.
"Didn't you?" Cheng Xiong said majestically.
Xiao Wulie shook his head and said, "No, I didn't watch TV. ”
"Really?"
Xiao Wulie hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, I really haven't seen TV. ”
"Then why is this TV so hot? It's like someone just finished watching it, Xiao Wulie, why do you say this TV is so hot? Chengxiong asked.
Xiao Wulie had nothing to say at that time, and his face began to redden: "I, I don't know." ”
"Don't know? Don't you really know? ”
"I don't know." Xiao Wulie's voice became lower and lower.
"You just peeked, right?" Cheng Xiong said.
Xiao Wulie was speechless for a while at this time, and he didn't know what he should say, so Xiao Wulie could only be silent, and Cheng Xiong saw that Xiao Wulie was silent, so he said to Xiao Wulie: "Xiao Wulie, do you know what you want to do if you do something wrong?" ”
Xiao Wulie nodded.
Cheng Xiong continued: "Xiao Wulie, you may be forgiven for doing something wrong, but if you do something wrong and lie, this can't be forgiven, do you know what I'm going to let you do?" ”
Of course, Xiao Wulie knew what Cheng Xiong wanted him to do, that is, to stand in the corner! This was corporal punishment, but it was considered a relatively light form of corporal punishment at the time. At that time, if the children were disobedient, they were basically beaten and scolded by their parents, and many children today may not understand the helplessness of being children at that time. It was rare not to be beaten by my parents in that era.
Xiao Wulie slowly walked to the corner, pouted, and didn't say a word, he knew that he had done something wrong, and he had to do something to balance the mood of the adults. Xiao Wulie's heart is very uncalm, he is unwilling but also helpless, sometimes people have to give in to certain things, some things are too helpless, some things are too sad, but still have to bow his head and keep going, Xiao Wulie knows that he has no choice but to bear all this silently.
After a while, Yan Qing also came back, he saw Xiao Wulie standing in the corner of the wall with a pitiful appearance, and knew that Xiao Wulie must have done something to provoke Cheng Xiong, so he asked curiously: "Xiao Wulie, what's wrong with you, why did you make your father angry again." ”
"Me, I was caught by my dad peeking at TV, and he lied, so he asked me to stand in a corner." Xiao Wulie was so aggrieved that he almost cried.
As a mother, Yan Qing, of course, didn't want Cheng Xiong to treat Xiao Wulie like this, so she said to Xiao Wulie: "Xiao Wulie, quickly apologize to your father, and go to do your homework after apologizing." ”
"Okay, Mom." So Xiao Wulie moved his numb legs, which were already standing, and walked towards his father.
