old man,
everything is fine.
The world is changing so fast that it is dizzying. There is a good news and a seemingly not so good news. I have been waiting to write to you to chat. The good news is that we don’t have to wear masks anymore, and we don’t have to do something called nucleic acid testing. Suddenly, everything returns to normal, back to the time you are familiar with, and I gradually become familiar with the time when you were not around. The not-so-good news is that everything is normal, but it seems to be distorted. Our living conditions, our right and wrong, moments of joy and moments of sadness, from the development of the country to the grocery store at the door, everything is different. Yes, everything is not quite right, that feeling, very twisted.
In short, Dudu can go to kindergarten on time every day. After school, there are also a group of friends from the dinosaur team running around the yard, mischievous. I have also entered the work rhythm that this company should have. I can’t wait to have a big event every month. Mom, grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, uncle, sister, and younger brother are all back to normal, and grandma has turned the house into a gathering place for old friends to play cards. Of course, I have expected this day, if there is no epidemic , it is estimated that it will be faster. This year I plan to take Dudu back to my hometown, but at present, it is estimated that it is suspended again, so I will do my best.
I watched a movie this year, and I seldom talk about the movie with you. The name is “Jiao Ma Tang Hui”, about a singing actor, having a meal by the Naihe Bridge, meeting old friends, and chatting about the past. It can be said to be very big, with decades of social changes in it, or it can be said to be very small, how a child who is not very lucky but certainly not bad has survived this life in the world. There are a lot of Chinese literary and artistic youths who are twisted and twisted, which is actually quite boring, but this kind of life blog makes it easy for me to substitute my own feelings.
I still remember that it happened to be the year you just left. I read a very murderous saying that parents are the wall between us and death. You’re gone, the wall is down, I just realized that when I was face to face with it, fear, fear, dazed, overwhelmed, then crossed the river by feeling the stones, one right foot here, one wrong foot there, to this day , I didn’t think about many things well, and that feeling of powerlessness would make people extremely desperate. The only worthwhile thing is that I am used to the word change. Life is dynamic and random. In some places, no matter how hard I push, I can’t move an inch. In some places, something is pushing me forward. Everything is unknown. It doesn’t give people a chance to breathe, just like playing tennis, the opponent won’t wait for you to rest before hitting back.
I was silent for a long time after watching the movie. I don’t know if you met any friends there, and I don’t know if I will have some friends there who can have a big drink and chat. How would you feel sitting there? You can’t tell me, and I don’t know who to tell. However, if you finish your life, I will also finish mine well.
By the way, follow the little doll and walk again where you didn’t go well before. For example, Dudu started to learn to draw this year. The reason is that it has nothing to do with painting. He wants this guy who can’t stop for a second to stop for a while. The children are amazing, each of them is a philosopher, an artist, and human nature can be released at will. In the past few years, I will start to face the rules, face Fangyuan, and gradually polish myself into another guy. If possible, I must let him stick to his nature and make this part of the time as long as possible. This is very important to him, and it is also important to me.
His change is no longer the kind you can see every day, but suddenly at a moment, making you feel that he has undergone a huge change. This change is sudden and unreserved, while being full of your own thoughts , he began to learn to express, precise and unexpected expressions, so chatting with him every day is a very happy thing, you don’t need to expect anything, he can surprise you, but unfortunately, you have no chance to chat, I haven’t talked to him formally about you either, he doesn’t know anything about it and I don’t know how to start. In some time, in a few years.
Now I start to watch some of the things you like to watch, like politics, and I learn to understand it, and I realize that we can’t actually observe the world without some background information, and live normally in this world. Those things that are deliberately avoided are actually the helm of the giant ship sailing in the sea of time, and we are just playing house on the giant ship. Interestingly, those things you care about have no meaning to your life, and I care about the same thing. Thinking about it this way, I find that we are all romantic. Maybe that little bit of romance in your genes was lucky enough to reach In me, of course, it would be nice if you talked with a little romance too.
There is no love expressed between us, the formal kind.
No.
It seems a bit late to express now. Let me tell you some recent short stories. I used to like to tell you stories too. It’s all about Little Dudu, I know, you must care more about him now than me.
We like chatting very much, even chatting every second we are together, sometimes he wants to be a mecha T-Rex, sometimes he wants to be a talking paper airplane. Recently, the weather suddenly became hot, but he didn’t want to take a bath. I told him that if he didn’t take a bath, his body would be sticky and his skin would feel uncomfortable, as if something was stuck to it. It will become double-sided tape, with sweat on one side and body on the other.” I said, “Hmmm…”.
Another night, before going to bed, he lay next to me and said solemnly, “Dad, why do you say that you work 5 days and get 2 days off instead of working 5 days and get 5 days off? It’s so unfair to the holidays.” ah.”
“Well, in fact, some places have started to work for 4 days and take 3 days off. People in the past didn’t have the concept of time. Later, they gradually got clocks, three meals a day and fixed working hours. later……”
“Okay, Dad, stop talking, I’m sleepy, I’m going to bed.”
“Um……”.
I really miss you.
Yu Buyiyi, take care of yourself, and I will take care of my family. Each performs its duties, each makes the best use of it, and each is beautiful.
