Mr. Dong Guo

Guo Qiyu dragged a linen bag in from the outside.

Guo Xiaobei stood on the bed and watched, not showing the slightest intention to help.

Guo Qiyu was extremely tired, looking at the books in the sackcloth pocket, the top ones were Xinhua Dictionary and Idiom Dictionary.

Of course he didn't have the money to buy these books, even the staff of the bookstore couldn't afford them.

He went to the second-hand book market to find these books slowly one by one.

Although most of the second-hand book market is full of old books on mothers, babies and pregnant women, food cheats, and health care, after a day of careful searching, Guo Qiyu still gained a lot.

The money was not too much, after all, even in the second-hand book market, Guo Qiyu still shopped around, and the price was more than [-]...

He pointed to the pile of books and looked at the pot again.

In the pot was the rice that he left for when he went out in the morning. He told Xiao Bei that he would not come back at noon and let him eat by himself.

The pot is now empty and clean.

"Did you wash it?"

"..."

Guo Qiyu rested for a while, "Let's eat first."

Guo Xiaobei then moved, followed Guo Qiyu up and down, probably following the food in Guo Qiyu's hand.

After the two had eaten, Guo Xiaobei took the initiative to take the dishes to wash.

The icy water in the winter is biting.

Guo Qiyu hurriedly stopped him, "No, I'm not busy, let's take a look at this first."

He picked up the Xinhua dictionary on the ground.

"Starting today, you learn to recognize and look up characters every day. How about reading by yourself?"

Guo Xiaobei's wolf cub eyes were a little inexplicable, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.

Guo Qiyu picked up another colorful fairy tale book, the thin one with only one story.

"Happy Prince?" Guo Qiyu read the title of the book, he had never read these fairy tales himself.

He only heard a few stories, which were told to him by that neighbor. He was still very young at that time. The neighbor said that he would be paid for hearing the stories. If he had no money, the man would put his hand into his clothes.

For a long time, he thought that being touched could be exchanged for money.

He opened the book, there are pictures and words.

Xiaobei's eyes were attracted, he grabbed the book, only looked at the pictures, not the words, and finished flipping in 2 minutes.

He raised his head again and stared at Guo Qiyu.

Guo Qiyu pointed to the words on the book, "Looking at the paintings, you can only get a rough idea, but you still have to read the words!"

Xiao Bei moved his gaze along his fingers.

Guo Qiyu held up the dictionary, "This is a dictionary. Tonight I will teach you how to look it up in the dictionary, so you can read it by yourself in the future."

Soon, Guo Qiyu discovered that it was not that simple.

First of all, pinyin, you have to teach him pinyin first, and then radicals, you have to tell him what radicals are.

To be honest, Guo Qiyu himself has never figured this out.

Otherwise, enroll in cram school?

Guo Qiyu held the dictionary, thinking a little dejectedly.

This was the beginning of 1995, cram schools were not yet popular in W City, they were only available on a small scale, and they were not cheap.

"Tonight, I will tell you first, and tomorrow I will buy a few books about these things."

Guo Qiyu decided to buy a few more stickers about learning pinyin letters that infants and young children would have had in their childhood, as well as copybooks for practicing calligraphy, with explanations of radicals on them.

Guo Qiyu asked Guo Xiaobei to wash up first, and then he could choose a story from the linen pocket and tell him.

Guo Xiaobei pointed to the "Happy Prince" in his hand.

……

The two sat side by side on the bed, originally Guo Qiyu wanted to hug Guo Xiaobei, to let him feel the warmth, but the little wolf cub refused, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

After the story was told, Guo Xiaobei still had an indifferent face, watching Guo Qiyu secretly wiping tears indifferently.

After being discovered, Guo Qiyu was still very embarrassed, and said in a concealed way: "How can you say that this prince..."

"You go to bed first, I'll go wash the dishes." Guo Qiyu got out of bed with a sob, and tucked up the four corners. Guo Xiaobei only showed a small face, and stared at him with perfect black eyes. .

Guo Qiyu was busy washing the dishes, but Guo Xiaobei, who was expressionless just now, was holding "Happy Prince", looking at the swallow with a sapphire on the cover, his eyes revealed the complexity that does not belong to a child .

Fortunately, Guo Qiyu also bought some picture books.

"The Wanderings of Sanmao?"

Guo Qiyu took out several palm-sized small books, and the child with three hairs combed on the cover on the top one was looking longingly at the "bright world" in his fantasy.

Guo Qiyu thinks this book is quite educational, especially for Guo Xiaobei.

"Look at this," Guo Qiyu handed him the album, pointing to Sanmao who was carrying a small advertisement with rice paste on it, "You have to be as positive and optimistic as him!"

Don't be gloomy, hostile and vigilant all day long, like a hungry wolf.

Guo Qiyu didn't dare to say anything, and went out to work.

Guo Xiaobei turned around, and Sanmao ate the rice paste that was used to post small advertisements, which broke his stomach and caused diarrhea.

Guo Qiyu left a meal in the morning, which meant that Guo Qiyu would not go home at noon.

Guo Xiaobei stared at the window of the small room for a while, took the pot by himself, ate, and washed the pot under cold water.

Guo Qiyu told him to leave it until he came back to wash it.

But every day when he came back, Guo Qiyu couldn't hide the exhaustion on Guo Qiyu's face even if he forced himself to laugh.

So Guo Xiaobei picked up a rag to wipe the floor after reading the album.

The single room is too small to even use a mop.

The floor was wiped and the clothes were neatly folded. Guo Xiaobei really had nothing to do, so he could only sit by the window and wait for that familiar figure as usual.

The moment Guo Qiyu appeared downstairs, Guo Xiaobei's dark eyes shone with joy.

He hurriedly picked up "The Wanderings of San Mao", sat upright by the bed, and listened to the movement outside the door.

He recognized his footsteps.

Gently, slowly, step by step very steadily.

Then came the sound of a key opening the door.

Guo Qiyu held another pile of things in his hand.

Standing on the ground, Guo Xiaobei watched as Guo Qiyu pasted the pinyin letters and radicals on the head of the bed, and put the map of China and the world side by side on the wall next to the bed.

Then he got off the bed and took out a pen and two copybooks.

"Xiaobei, start practicing this from today!"

Guo Xiaobei took it, looked up at his obviously excited and hopeful expression, and said, "I'm hungry."

Guo Qiyu's mind is easy to guess, even for a child like Guo Xiaobei.

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Qiyu lowered his brows and eyes, "Then let's eat first."

He hurriedly prepared a meal and went to work again.

Sister Li must be a little upset that she asked for leave yesterday and didn't go.

Guo Xiaobei sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at radicals for a while, then picked up the dictionary, and began to study how to use radicals to look up characters.

When Guo Qiyu came back, he brought him two glutinous rice cakes for supper.

I was surprised to see that Xiaobei could already use radicals to look up characters.

"Xiaobei, you are so smart!"

Before the two went to bed, Guo Qiyu taught Xiaobei how to pronounce the alphabet.

If it was only the pinyin letters alone, Guo Qiyu must be confused, but fortunately this sticker is simple, but there will be a monophonic word under each pinyin letter, for example, "a" will have a "ah" sign.

Guo Qiyu didn't know how to read it, so he read it according to the words, and taught all the pinyin letters stumbled.

Then take out the children's book marked with pinyin and teach him how to look it up.

During this period, what Guo Qiyu said the most was, "Xiaobei, you are so smart."

With the book, the little wolf cub can learn slowly, and Guo Qiyu went out to work with peace of mind.

Soon Guo Xiaobei finished reading the sack of books at the speed of a storm.

Even some are not satisfied with the superficial content of these books.

"This, finished reading so soon?"

Guo Qiyu was sorting out those books, and he was about to start school in a few days, and he didn't know what to do when the time came.

Guo Qiyu took the book to the second-hand book market, sold it to a buyer of second-hand books, and selected several children's editions of famous books from there.

Thinking about it, I went to the bookstore and bought a few math exercises at the employee price.

Mathematics, he can talk about it.

That night, Guo Xiaobei finished the math problem assigned by Guo Qiyu and showed it to Guo Qiyu for inspection.

Guo Qiyu once again sighed, "Xiao Bei, why are you so smart, you are all right again!"

He taught Guo Xiaobei very carefully, usually children would ask questions if they didn't understand, but very few.

Guo Qiyu didn't bother him when he saw his concentration, and started to read his professional books.

But soon he discovered that Guo Xiaobei's sensitivity to numbers was far beyond his imagination.

"Xiao Bei, you are a genius!"

He didn't know what to do with this genius.

The day before school started, Guo Qiyu administered the medicine to the child and announced happily, "Xiao Bei, this is the last time to administer the medicine!"

Children's skin is good and regenerates quickly.

Now there are only shallow marks on the most serious part of the body, and in time, it will return to a smooth skin again!

This month, Guo Qiyu has almost no income, and has repaid some money saved a while ago. Fortunately, there is still a deposit for tuition fees, which cannot be moved.

Pressing the calculator, he couldn't help sighing, children are really expensive.

He was reluctant for children to endure hardships, so even though the children hadn't been out of the house once for so long, he had never been short of food and clothing.

Of course, he also inquired about the Taoli Welfare Institute, and felt that the environment was not bad in all aspects, and Guo Xiaobei should not be treated badly.

When he is free, he goes to see the children.

If possible, I can also be a volunteer and serve the orphanage voluntarily.

In this way, if a family wants to adopt Guo Xiaobei, he can also serve as a member of the orphanage and help Guo Xiaobei refer to it.

He must let Guo Xiaobei live a good life.

After all, Guo Xiaobei is not only a child who was abducted and traumatized, but also a taciturn genius!

A genius should have a genius way of life.

Guo Qiyu thought very well, seeing Guo Xiaobei sleeping peacefully, he almost couldn't remember the little wolf cub back then.

"You shouldn't be called Guo Xiaolang, you should be called Guo Angel."

Guo Qiyu said softly, and couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Angel Guo's straight and delicate nose.
