Rebirth one way to the north

"38 degrees 2." Mo Xiangyang flicked the thermometer, "It's time for an injection, my son."

Mo Bei looked at his father in a daze: "Did you do it yourself?"

Mo Xiangyang said happily: "Your mother is more skilled at this job."

Mo Bei: "Can I get a little different treatment?"

Mo Xiangyang: "I'm afraid it won't work. Your mother will think it's a distrust of her professional skills. We'd better avoid such things as twirling a tiger's whiskers."

Mo Bei sighed: "You are right."

Mobei's physique is not very good. Every year when the seasons change from spring to autumn, he will catch a cold and have a fever, which will rise to over 38 degrees. This has become a regular program of the Mo family.Mo Bei just played outside with Nao Nao for a while yesterday, but he caught fire in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, both Mo Xiangyang and Sun Lihua are medical staff, and they are very skilled in dealing with such small situations. Medicines, needles, alcohol, etc. are also fully prepared at home.

Sun Lihua injected an injection into Mo Bei's little buttocks. Before he could pull up his pants, Mo Bei couldn't help but vomited out.Sun Lihua couldn't dodge in time, she was spat up with dirt, she slapped him twice on the buttocks angrily, and reprimanded: "Can't you wait for me to bring the spittoon before you spit it out?"

Seeing that Mo Bei was tearing up because of his grievances, Mo Xiangyang quickly said, "The child has a fever. If he can bear it, can he still spit on you? Alright, let me clean it up. Go wash it up."

Sun Lihua also knew that it was not Mo Bei's fault, but the sticky vomit on her head and neck was really uncomfortable, she still couldn't help being angry with Mo Bei, glared at him, and hurried to wash her hair.

Mo Xiangyang cleaned up all the vomit on the ground, helped Mo Bei rinse his mouth, let him lie down on the soft blanket, and said, "Go to sleep."

Mo Bei was still wronged: "I really didn't mean to."

Mo Xiangyang: "I know, it doesn't matter."

Mo Bei: "Why can't she be considerate of sick people?"

Mo Xiangyang: "She has a quick temper, she is born this way, and she didn't mean to scold you."

Mo Bei: "She hit me."

Mo Xiangyang: "Okay, daddy will talk to her well tomorrow, so that she won't do this in the future. Good son, go to sleep, daddy is here to watch you."

Only then did Mo Bei close his eyes, and after a while he couldn't help muttering: "She can't change it." A big warm hand stroked his head, and Mo Bei fell asleep peacefully after being well groomed.

Mo Bei's fever subsided by daybreak. For breakfast, he ate three steamed buns stuffed with pork and cabbage, and drank a large bowl of millet porridge. When he was sick, Sun Lihua was so angry that he called him a debt collector who came here specially to torment his parents.

Mo Xiangyang said: "Okay, isn't it a good thing that the child recovers from his illness? Seeing him suffer makes you feel uncomfortable too."

Sun Lihua said: "He doesn't even know how to pick a time when he's sick. He has to toss around in the middle of the night to keep us up all night. He's fine."

Mo Xiangyang said: "Look at what you said, if Xiao Bei could get sick whenever he wanted, he would be a god."

Sun Lihua said: "Just choke with me, for your good son."

Seeing that Sun Lihua was going to get angry again, Mo Xiangyang had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. While his wife was not paying attention, he made a face at Mo Jie and Mo Bei.Mo Jie bit the bun and almost laughed out loud, but Mo Bei was expressionless - he would be scolded when he recovered from his illness, it's no wonder he was in a better mood.

"Hurry up, Mo Jie, don't be late." After dinner, Sun Lihua was busy putting on her shoes, and said loudly, "Mo Bei, are you going to school today? If you don't, just wipe the dishes and clean the floor, don't worry Don't do any work, just wait for me."

Mo Jie picked up his schoolbag and ran out, and when he passed by Mo Bei, he murmured, "Don't get in the way."

While putting away the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, Mo Bei tried his best to erase the weird feeling in his heart.Since he skipped a grade, the relationship with his sister is not as close as it used to be.Of course, this is understandable. After all, there is a gifted child around him for comparison, and it is not very good for any child.It seemed that overnight, her advantages and authority as a sister were gone, and this sense of loss and gap was indeed difficult to adjust.And because of Mo Bei's special circumstances, the parents' attitudes and ways of treating the two children were also different, which made it even more difficult for Xiao Mo Jie to accept.

After all, Mo Jie is still just a child after all.

Mo Bei finished all the housework he could do. It was already 09:30 in the morning. After a short rest, he locked the door and went straight to the station. He made an agreement with Wei Yuxuan yesterday that he would go to the city to buy books together today. Mo Xiangyang also gave him 20 yuan as pocket money.The road was built in the county last year. The road is flat and wide, and the journey to the city has been shortened to about two hours. This is good news for Mo Bei, at least he will no longer be jolted into motion sickness.

The autumn of 1986 was lackluster for the seven-year-old Mo Bei. He was still growing up unhurriedly, studying unhurriedly, and dying at home at a leisurely pace. With sleepy eyes, I was shocked to realize that the gray town was full of fresh green.

Wei Yuxuan has already bought the ticket and is waiting in front of the station. He is wearing a knitted pullover sweater with blue and white snowflake pattern, black slim trousers and brown lace-up shoes. He has a strong academic temperament. Look It rises elegantly and quietly.

When Mo Bei walked over, he couldn't help admiring in his heart that Wei Yuxuan's outfit would not be outdated in 20 years. It can also be said that some fashion beauty is durable and can transcend the times.In this era and in such a small county, Wei Yuxuan's attire is still too fashionable, and according to Mo Bei's visual estimation, the price of this attire is probably worth two or three months' salary of his parents.

Wei Yuxuan has no job, no family, and simple social relations. No one knows where his money, those original documents, enviable household appliances and fashionable clothes come from, and of course no one has ever seen him. He passed his boyfriend who was said to be far away in the imperial capital.

Mo Bei never asked, the relationship between him and Wei Yuxuan maintained a distance that made both of them feel comfortable, just like Wei Yuxuan also knew that there was a mystery about Mo Bei, but he never asked too much.Sometimes they can understand what the other party wants to say with a look and a gesture, but at the same time they respectfully leave each other with privacy.Mobei cherishes this kind of friendship very much.

Arriving in Yunbian City, before leaving the station, Mo Bei heard an excited cry: "This way! This way!" Looking at the sound, Sun Wuyue was jumping up and down among the crowd and waving at them. Everyone turned their faces and pretended not to recognize him.Mo Bei subconsciously recalled his uncle's zodiac sign, um, it doesn't seem to be a monkey.

When he came to him, Mo Bei spoke first: "Uncle, Auntie, don't you have to go to work today?"

"I'm asking for leave." The unreliable brothers and sisters said in unison, even the unconcerned free and easy energy was exactly the same, and they all walked outside the station together.

Mo Bei thought to himself that if I were your superiors, I would have already fired guys like you who ask for leave every day and miss work to fall in love.

Gong Xiaobai opened a billiard room and a restaurant this year, and the business was good. He bought a Beijing Jeep 212[Note 1] and drove it. He even painted a skull on the body with black paint.In Gong Xiaobai's words: "I can't be a pirate at the moment, so let's just take a land pirate ship."

The driver was Feng Wangnan, who had just learned to drive and was addicted to it.Gong Xiaonan naturally supervised him all the time in the passenger seat, while the others crowded into the back seat.

As soon as he got in the car, Gong Xiaobai hugged Mo Bei in his arms and weighed it, "Yo, Xiaobei, it's too heavy. Hey, tell your aunt for me, forget about resigning, as long as she has a job, she can't stand for a day." For more than ten hours, the calf cramps, what's the point? It's not like I can't afford to support your little uncle."

Sun Liping pinched him: "You just have calf cramps."

Mo Bei said: "Women also need careers."

Gong Xiaobai laughed loudly: "Hey, listen up, we Xiaobei are going to make a speech again."

Mo Bei said flatly, "Put me down."

As soon as Gong Xiaobai bent down, he immediately straightened up again, and hugged Mo Bei tightly, "Little thing, are you unhappy? Your face is still sour, can I just make a joke? Come on, come on, talk to little uncle Tell me, what do you think. Tell me, little ancestor, I am so cute that I have listened to you, really."

No matter what he said, Mo Bei just ignored him and turned to Wei Yuxuan: "Brother Yuxuan."

Wei Yuxuan stepped forward to rescue Mo Bei from Gong Xiaobai's arms, and let him sit on his lap, "Xiaobei, why do you say that women also have careers? Well, in fact, isn't a woman's career a family?"

Several people were ready to listen to what Mo Bei had to say. It is very interesting for a child to speak an adult's words, but Mo Bei, a child, often said things that even ordinary adults would not think of, so it was even more interesting.

"Women should spend their entire lives around pots and pans. This is what the older generation say. I think women who are as old as my aunt, no, even women as old as my mother, probably don't agree with this kind of statement, yes Isn't it right?" Mo Bei asked Sun Liping, of course Sun Liping nodded.

"Why do people generally think that a woman's career is the family? Simply put, it is because in a patriarchal society, women often live as accessories. Its comment. But now the average family is dual-career, both husband and wife have to go to work, the same hard work, and the wages they earn are similar, so why do women have to do housework and take care of children and the elderly after work, while men can take it for granted You really feel that this is what women should do, and even justifiably obliterate the hard work women put in outside, and continue to say that their career is family?"

Sun Liping muttered: "Yes, why?"

Gong Xiaobai: "Men earn a lot more. Besides, men have to work at home. Aren't we men doing all the dirty work?"

Sun Liping: "But no one ever said that a man's career is his family!"

Gong Xiaobai: "Daughter-in-law, my career is you."

Sun Liping: "...that's about the same."

The two looked at each other sweetly, moved closer, and were about to kiss... "Cough, Xiaobei, it seems that you haven't finished talking yet?" Wei Yuxuan said.

Mo Bei smiled, "Just take my aunt as an example, if she is married now—no matter who she is married to..."

Gong Xiaobai immediately shouted: "Of course you marry me, who else!"

Mo Bei: "Assume that her husband is fully capable of supporting the family on his own, does not need his aunt to work, and can be a full-time housewife at home."

Sun Liping: "Full-time housewife? This word is interesting, and housewives have become a profession."

Mo Bei: "Of course, but the leader who pays your salary is your husband. Well, now you are a full-time housewife, and your daily job is to keep your home clean and beautiful, and your husband to be handsome and decent. Listen Seems pretty simple, doesn't it?"

Several men nodded, only Sun Liping objected: "It's simple! Is it easy to make three meals a day? You have to buy vegetables, choose them, and match them with tastes. You can't eat the same thing every day, can you? Make one meal for an hour , it only takes ten minutes to finish eating, and then I have to wash the dishes! I have to sweep the floor and wash the clothes!"

Mo Bei added: "When I have a child, I will send him to school."

Sun Liping exclaimed: "Yes! To feed the child and wash diapers, he has to eat every two or three hours, and also in the middle of the night, crying, and can't sleep well. My sister gave birth to Xiaojie Xiaobei. In this way, I fell asleep several times when I was too tired to breastfeed the child. My God, being a mother is too hard, Xiaobei, you must be filial in the future."

Mo Bei really didn't want to talk anymore.

"Because housewives don't have to go out to work, their main business is to do housework and take care of their families, so the scope of daily activities will be reduced to a few limited places such as home and the vegetable market. The people who contact the most every day are family members, vegetable vendors, and neighbors. The most information that comes into contact with may come from TV dramas or neighbors’ chats... At the same time, her husband will come into contact with many colleagues and strangers with business contacts, and the source of information is wider and more. Think about it , After a long time, what can the couple communicate with every night? Today, the cabbage price increases by [-] cents, tomorrow the child has to pay school fees, the day after tomorrow relatives get married with the ceremony, and the coal at home is about to run out so I have to buy another one. car……"

Feng Wangnan: "Which one isn't like this? My mom tells my dad these things every day, and my dad usually answers with two words: oh and um. Isn't that how life goes?"

Gong Xiaonan: "Drive hard!"

Mo Bei: "Then what do you and Brother Nan talk about every day?"

Feng Wangnan: "That's too much... Bah! Who is married to him?"

Gong Xiaonan: "Honey, drive hard!"

Feng Wangnan: "Get lost!"

Mo Bei: "If you talk to Brother Nan, he can only answer you oh and um, how do you feel?"

Feng Wangnan: "I can't beat him to death!"

Gong Xiaonan: "..."

Wei Yuxuan: "You mean that this kind of narrow life scope will make the wife's vision less broad than that of the husband, and will affect the communication between each other. Maybe the husband is not interested in what the wife says, but the wife doesn't understand what the husband says. , As a result, apart from some trivial matters, there is no more communication with each other?"

Mo Bei: "Yes, think about it, over time, will many husbands feel that their wives are becoming more and more tasteless, even disgusting? Compared with the young and beautiful female colleagues in the unit, their yellow-faced woman may have become I haven’t had a new hairstyle for a whole year, and there is nothing new. Of course, this kind of life is not unbearable. As Mad Dog said, many families are like this, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, when the husband finds out that he and that female colleague will There are more topics, more freshness, and no annoying trifles such as daily necessities... Gradually, besides being grateful for her dedication to the family, how much love does he have for his wife? Would he want to be with a female colleague like this? How about living closer to a woman spiritually?"

Sun Liping glared at Gong Xiaobai, Gong Xiaobai raised his hands: "Daughter-in-law, I only love you, I swear."

Sun Liping: "Then what do you mean by asking me to resign?"

Gong Xiaobai: "I love you, don't I?"

Sun Liping: "You want me to be a cow and a horse for you at home, so you can hang out outside in a good way?"

Gong Xiaobai: "... Whoever I provoke provoked me."

"All in all," Mo Bei concluded, "a woman has her own job or career, which will make her more thoughtful and attractive, and make her financially independent. If she unfortunately meets a cheating husband, she can also be kicked out happily." That man, he lives better."

Sun Liping: "That's right!"

Gong Xiaobai: "...I was wrong."

Wei Yuxuan was silent, thoughtful.
