Chapter 2: I'm in a race against time

The farm is very quiet at night, the three-story red brick building in all corners is surrounded by iron fences, and the dark places in the four corners of the small building are covered with green moss every year, and the old yellow dog who is in charge of guarding the yard always digs holes in the empty courtyard every night.

Rice is famous for its abundance of corn in Braska, and the crops of "one side of the soil and water to raise one person" depend on a suitable environment for survival, so Jonathan's farm also has a pile of corn stalks piled up, and the corn stalks are stuffed into the fireplace for heating in the cold weather in winter.

The boys on the farm are not afraid of insects, and in the summer they will always catch the big green bugs and tease the girls......

This made Jonathan, who was still in swaddling clothes, shake his head speechlessly, these kids are so TM naΓ―ve!

"Jonathan, it's milk!"

Jonathan's mother, Ms. Emma, estimated that she had only 10 minutes of memory, and Jonathan remembered that she had just forcibly bottle-fed herself 10 minutes earlier, choking on her own cough.

Not to mention his current physical condition, if he speaks, he will definitely be treated as a monster, but Jonathan can only use his chubby little hands to keep refusing.

The baby is bitter, and the baby just can't say it!

"Jonathan, why are you born different from other people's children! You don't cry when you're sleepy, you don't cry when you're hungry, you don't cry when you pee, I really don't know how to take care of you like this! ”

On more than one occasion, Ms. Emma had heard gossip from the farm workers, "The boy from the Green family is a mentally handicapped boy who has never cried since he was born, and he hasn't cried for months now, and can a child with no problems with his head be so abnormal?"

Ms. Emma didn't want to doubt, but she had to waver......

Is it true that my child is born with an incomplete brain development, is it true that he is born with a mental disability? β€˜

But what does it matter if he is mentally retarded, he is my child, a piece of flesh that fell from me, if he can't take care of himself for the rest of his life, why not take care of him for the rest of my life!

"Mother's love" does not make a difference whether it is black, white, yellow, or even human or animal.

What's more, there are only the grandfather who died of his wife because of lung cancer who is still old in this family, and Ms. Emma, who is still single because she was abandoned by a scumbag, and Jonathan, who has just been born for eight months. The family is in disarray, and every member of the family, whether old, weak, sick or disabled, is crucial.

Ms. Emma caressed Jonathan's cheek, and tears couldn't help but flash down the fair cheeks that were still charming, leaving a tear stain.

"Jonathan, how nice it would be if you could tell me you're not mentally retarded......"

Jonathan is not a virgin, he is also very selfish, he only wants to care about the people who really care about him, and he only wants to protect the people who really care about him.

What's more, if you really let yourself pretend to be a baby, spend a few years learning to speak, understand everything that exists in this world, and spend a few years learning to crawl and walk, it is really a punishment for Jonathan as an adult.

Sorry, my acting skills weren't that perfect!

Cold tears fell on Jonathan's tender cheeks, Jonathan looked at his mother in this life, a mother who was destined to pull his "child" from a young age to grow up, a mother who was destined to shoulder the responsibility of the whole farm, and a mother who paid a lot for her birth in this world.

"Are you retarded?" At this moment, the answer to this question is up to me to tell you!

Jonathan looked at Ms. Emma and shook his little head paradoxically......

Such an answer would not make her too strange, and it would have ignited a glimmer of hope in her heart......

"Jonathan, are you shaking your head?" Lady Emma seems to have found hope, and the urgency in her heart makes her seem to have lost the sanity that a normal person has. At this moment, she looked at Jonathan seriously, and asked something that even made her feel incredible, and she was looking past Jonathan's little head: "Jonathan, if you mean that you are not mentally retarded, then you just nod and tell me!" ”

Without hesitation, Jonathan shook his little head up and down, and the flesh of his fleshy double chin shook.

In all fairness!

Shi Nai'an also laughed that if there was no scene of the drunk neighbor Ah Qiao beating the dog, he would not have been able to write the scene of Wu Song beating the tiger according to the gourd painting, and he would not have been able to write a book without Ah Qiao.

So for this scene, passers-by can only regard it as a coincidence, but for Ms. Emma, it may be a ray of light in the darkness.

What's more, what about youkai, is there still a lack of youkai in the eyes of the people of this world......

"Oh my God! It's incredible! ”

Jonathan nodded, does this mean that he can understand my words, does he mean to agree with his own words, how is this possible, he is only eight months! Could it be that my child is not mentally retarded as the workers say, he is a genius!

The days went by, watching himself grow taller day by day, Jonathan really realized the passage of time, his grandfather, who was over seventy-five years old, also went to the old path of his wife because of perennial smoking, and finally died of lung cancer in a white hospital bed.

Jonathan, who was still a child but was forced to learn the violin, played his debut novel, "The Joy of Love" by the American-Austrian violinist Chrysler, in the hospital room.

This made Jonathan understand a sense of powerlessness in the face of time man, and Jonathan knew he was powerless. Until this shocking day arrived, Jonathan had always thought of himself as just an ordinary person.

"Jonathan, what do you think, go play with your friends!"

"No, I still have a few pages left in this Wuthering Heights!"

During the busy farming period, the children of the workers' families had no one to take care of them, so the workers had to drag their children and daughters to play on the farm.

What made Ms. Emma laugh and cry was that when the children of the workers' family played together, her own children sat on the stone steps for several hours like old monks.

Holding the world-famous book "Wuthering Heights" in one hand, and rinsing a small black dog with a rubber hose in the other, the Coca-Cola produced in glass bottles in the early twenties has not moved. Jonathan, who is half-hearted, even puts the water in the yard into a stream with a long stream of thin water.

"Gotta go! You can't sit still all the time! ”

"Okay, I can't go! Ms. Emma, are you tired of harvesting corn? ”

"I can't help it if I'm tired, I'll be relaxed when my little man grows up......"

When I grow up, Ms. Emma will grow old, time is abstract to everyone, something that cannot be touched, something that cannot be touched, but it is real, but it is not strange to Jonathan, because he meets time in almost every dream, and when he wakes up from every dream, it seems like a century has passed, but it seems like only a second.

In his dreams there was no air, no light, no sound, nothingness, darkness without five fingers, and only time. He doesn't need to breathe, he doesn't need to eat or sleep, and there is only one thing he has to do, which is to keep chasing time, being surpassed by time, surpassing time, and standing shoulder to shoulder with time!

This became the routine of every night when he slept soundly!
