Eros kisses Psyche

Xu Budie didn't know how this developed. He was originally prepared for a deep reflection and growth, but now he was sitting on the edge of the bed, coloring origami with Cheng Zhu and Lele.

He watched Cheng Zhu earnestly coloring along the dotted line, hesitant to say: "Aren't you doing kindergarten manual homework... you don't leave room for others..."

"What can I do?" Cheng Zhu complained, "Do you know that kindergartens are not unreasonable now? I can handle making paper and plasticine. Those who observe diaries, those who make clothes from plastic waste... make me think that this kindergarten is going to cultivate new stars in the art world from dolls."

Xu Budie didn't expect this to happen. He only vaguely heard about it, but now he saw with his own eyes that a child of this age was asked to make a wind chime with twelve zodiac signs, "...so exaggerated. How can a child do it?"

"I can't do it. In fact, I'm not comparing children, I'm comparing parents." Cheng Zhu painted the colors and left it to Lele to string them up according to his preferences. "But there are also contempt chains among children. After all, he will be praised if he does well, and he will be criticized if he does poorly. I have always encouraged him to do it by himself. Of course, the main reason is that I don’t have time and I didn’t care before. Exhibition opportunities and little red flowers."

"Later, I went to the parent-teacher meeting and saw the exhibition corner, so I knew what was going on. So I went back and helped Lele do a plasticine homework completely. I just wanted to ridicule them for doing this kind of form as a kindergarten , I deliberately used some very professional skills." Cheng Zhu laughed while talking, "In the end, guess what, I'm not No.1."

Lele also looked very angry, frowning and said: "Yes! Obviously ours looks better! I know, there are a lot of them, and they are all ready-made!"

"You can buy ready-made ones..." Xu Budie felt that he had underestimated the market. He didn't expect that there was a way to make money in this kind of place, and he thought to himself that his brain hadn't reached its limit.

"Really, I found out later that there are even shops on Taobao that help with this kind of manual work. So later, I stopped doing it and let him do it by himself. I usually do a demonstration first, just like I did just now. Cheng Zhu pouted, and pointed to the finished wind chime hanging above their heads, "Fortunately, Lele also understands that the list is meaningless and does not meet our aesthetic standards. After all, my son's aesthetic standards cannot be so low." , From then on, he no longer struggled to get a ranking, and I gave him points every time he finished."

You are really professional... Xu Budie was a little funny, he felt a little more relaxed for no reason, the colors in front of him seemed to be more vivid than usual when they were seen against the white ward sheets.He lowered his head to help with the origami, pulled his back to the wound, and couldn't help hissing slightly.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Zhu looked up, didn't expect him to say anything, and walked over directly.The space in the ward was small, and there was no place to hide if he wanted to, so Xiao Xu took a step back and grabbed him by the neck like a kitten, pulled off his coat, and saw the blood stains on the shirt inside that were bound together with salt particles.I had no choice but to explain: "It's okay, it's just that the skin was worn out while carrying the goods."

"It doesn't work if you cover it, and your clothes, you don't change after sweating, can you not hurt, you are already marinated." Cheng Zhu said, "Go to my place at night, anyway. Come on, take a shower and take some medicine."

Yes, of course it's very close, and I don't accept orders that are too far away from the hospital, otherwise I won't be able to deliver food in the first place.Xu Budie didn't speak, and Cheng Zhu continued: "Let Lele sleep with you, can you pick him up tomorrow, I have a short business trip in the morning, and I should be able to come back in the evening. Their kindergarten is coming soon At the end of the term, there are still exams, activities and so on, so I won't keep asking him for leave."

Speaking of this offer, Xu Budie couldn't refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then take Lele out for a walk, and I'll help my mother change the dressing and bed sheets."

Cheng Zhu said: "Lele and I will help you, there is always a place where you can't take advantage of yourself."

"No... It's scary when you uncover it. Are you afraid to say something else? Don't scare Lele."

"That's the reason...it's all right. When the nurse came to change the dressing in the afternoon, he had already looked at it."

Xu Budie was taken aback for a moment, he himself didn't dare to look directly at him at first, he was so frightened that he wanted to hide.But Lele played on the side near her swollen face, and put the handmade flowers she had just folded next to her pillow, and she didn't seem to have any discomfort.He turned to look at Lele: "Did Lele see it? Aren't you afraid?"

The child raised his round, fat head, as if he didn't understand.

Xu Bu laid the bed frame flat, cleaned and sanitized his hands, and skillfully began to check the seepage on the dressing.After removing the quilt and fixed gauze, the scene of the wound after applying the medicine can only be said to be horrible, and it also exudes a strange smell.After all, with such an injury, it is impossible to take a bath, let alone wipe yourself.He's used to it himself, but when he glanced at Lele, he didn't seem to think it was scary, or he thought it was normal; he didn't run away, and it wasn't because of curiosity.The eyes of children are unstained gems, there is no gray part in them.

Xu Budie gently cleaned the wound, sprayed the spray skillfully, and asked, "Does Lele think it's ugly and dirty...disgusting?"

"Sometimes the clay that Dad makes is ugly and dirty, and sticky...it also has a great smell." Lele said mercilessly. He should be referring to the clay molds made by Cheng Zhu, and sometimes they are remade. The material taste of the mold is more pungent.Cheng Zhu scratched his head a little bit impatiently. He belatedly thought about how much impact the human-shaped clay model could bring to the child's young heart.

"Isn't it... I haven't made a few mannequins at home..."

Xu Budie couldn't help imagining the scene. The undried clay mold was dirty, and sometimes it would be deformed and melted when the temperature was too high; if it was not finished, it would be even more terrifying, often half human. , the other half is still a big beach of inexplicable and strange shapes, full of a certain feeling of Cthulhu... If you see it in the middle of the night, adults will have to shake their heads, no wonder Lele completely respects Cheng Zhu's "working area".

If you often see that kind of picture, the psychological threshold for the attribute of "sticky, yellow and black people" is probably quite high.

Thinking of this, he also became inexplicably brisk, with a little smile on his face.

"Ah, I smiled." Cheng Zhu helped him turn the patient over on the turning bed, and sighed, "Why don't you smile at me, Lele is going to eat another piece of chocolate today. You must supervise him brushing his teeth! Let me tell you, I fell asleep as soon as I went back when I couldn't hold on."

"...What?" Xu Budie raised his head blankly, facing Cheng Zhu's teasing and gentle expression, as if he was being burned, he hurriedly moved away.

"I made a bet with him, whoever can make you laugh first today will eat a piece of chocolate."

"...you just let him go."

Xiao Xu made a complaint, and rushed out to wash his hands in a hurry. The cold water splashed on his hands in this season, and his hands were as red as the tips of his ears from the cold.The acquaintance of the patient laughed at him: "What's wrong with Xiao Xu? It's so cold... Do you know how to wash it with some hot water? Look at you, how can you wash your face so red?"

"It's okay, grandma," he could only explain with a flushed face, "It's hot, I'm hot!"

Although he vowed to "fall back to sleep after returning", there is no doubt that it was Lele who fell asleep first. Cheng Zhu and Xu Budie dragged and dragged the little fat man who had almost reached the weight of an adult, and put it on the back of his back. In the car, I pushed the e-donkey and walked back slowly along the central square. Fortunately, within a few steps, the sky looked like it was about to snow, and the clouds were cloudy.

Cheng Zhu knew what he was worried about, so he walked with him without saying anything.He fumbled in his pocket, and took out the chocolate that slipped through the net: "Eat it, or you will wake up Lele later, you must remember this, let him give up."

Xu Budie also agreed that if Lele saw it, he would have to eat it.I just took it, put on the gloves for riding a bicycle, and peeled it twice without peeling it off.Cheng Zhu said, "Let me peel it off." Helping him tear off the wrapping paper, he leaned over to feed it to him, but suddenly realized that this gesture seemed a bit ambiguous, and he didn't know whether he should take it back; but Xu Budie Before he thought so much, he stretched out his head and opened his mouth to take it away from his hand, so as not to have to reach out to take it.

It wasn't until the thick sweetness of the chocolate melted softly in his mouth that he realized the reason why lovers must find a festival to give chocolates: only this unreasonably greasy taste, In order to properly express people's mood at this moment.

Speaking of which, does this count as him giving me chocolate?

Xu Budie stole a glance at the person next to him, Cheng Zhu didn't notice the glare at all, and was answering the phone: "Yes... I want to change it, um, the original one is withdrawn, no need, abolished... There is no reason, Then I suddenly had a better idea....It's too late, when did I procrastinate? It's not like we haven't done it before....Okay, I know time is tight, don't I know better than you?" He scolded with a smile One sentence, "Keep it secret, don't worry, I will not be sloppy when it comes to winning glory for the country." That's when he hung up.

Xiao Xu tentatively asked, "Is it about the China-Japan-Korea Exhibition?"

"Well, it's still in the pre-examination stage. I always felt that it was not good to be in a hurry. Now that I have a new idea, I asked my acquaintances to help me withdraw first, and then make a new one."

Cheng Zhu spoke frankly, as if nothing had happened; Xu Bu moved his lips repeatedly, wanting to ask him if it was because of him, but he didn't have the face to ask.

When they got to the community, Cheng Zhu asked Xiao Xu to carry Lele on his shoulders, and he trotted over to open the door, "I'm home, I'm home, I'm so foresighted, luckily I didn't buy the house upstairs, if I carry him, I have to go upstairs. You must be so regretful that you push him back..."

Xu Budie didn't care at first, after all, it's hard for you to be distracted with a baby on your shoulders. When he threw Lele on the bed, he turned his head and came out, facing a pile of strange things in the living room. There was a light in the porch, and a tentacles-like silhouette was vaguely outlined, which startled him so much that he gasped and stepped back, bumping into Cheng Zhu.

"Ouch!" Cheng Zhu called out first.

"What is that!" Xiao Xu's voice trembled.

"Ah?" Cheng Zhu was confused, and flicked on the light without emotion. He saw a large pool of yellow mud piled up next to the temporary tool table, and several steel wire skeletons with teeth and claws entangled together. It should be the head. The position of the head has just been wrapped in a large round sphere, which looks very...disgusting.

Xu Budie understood Lele's feelings in an instant.

"You...you are too..." Xiao Xu almost couldn't bring it up, "Did you know that when there was no light just now, it looked like aliens invaded the earth...the one that looks like an octopus A kind of alien... who can spit mucus!"

"Is that so?" Cheng Zhu hesitated, reached out his hand and turned off the light again.

"I'm fucking Cheng Zhu!" Xu Budie was so frightened that he didn't care about anything else, and almost immediately turned around and hung on Lao Cheng's body, reaching out to touch the switch on the wall.

Cheng Zhu was so strangled that he rolled his eyes, and thought it was funny, he stretched out his hand to grab his slapping wrist: "It's okay, just listen to me."

"It's ugly now, but after turning over the porcelain mold and casting it in copper, the final product will be beautiful and complete."

Xiao Xu stopped struggling, and his heartbeat and body temperature gradually became real in the darkness.His eyes rested on Cheng Zhu's shoulder, as if seeing the part he described through his body and his language, he murmured, "Really?"

"Well, first make the clay figure into a wax model, the mud color and the sticky feeling are gone, and it is white and brittle. Then it is fired into a porcelain model, and the basic shape has been completed. Then use it to make a model Cast bronze, and then smash the white porcelain, leaving only the texture and thick texture of copper, and there are no connecting scars and exposed skeletons."

"...will become a beautiful octopus alien?"

"It's not an octopus alien..." Cheng Zhu was powerless, "But it will get better. It's like being reborn again and again. It's very difficult, but it's all about rebuilding a new life. I think Lele also means the same, he doesn't think these things are scary It’s because he’s watched me make them a lot, knows how they’re going to end up, and knows it’s a necessary process. . . . Your mother will do the same.”

The lights came on again.

Neither of them moved; after a pause, Cheng Zhu finally said, "How long are you going to hug? I'm a little sleepy, I'm not lying..."

When Xu Budie bounced away with his face flushed, he smacked his lips and smiled leisurely: "I'm just joking with you, I just remembered that you are still barefoot..." When entering the door, in order not to step on the carpet in Lele's bedroom, Xiao Xu kicked off his shoes subconsciously, and now he was only wearing socks. "I bought you a new pair of cotton slippers, so you don't have to wear my sandals or shoe covers all the time. It's cold today..." He took out a pair of blue rabbit cotton slippers, with ankles hooked on both sides Parts are made into ears, which look furry.

Xu Budie: "..."

Xu Budie: "Where is the aesthetics of your rumored to beat the whole kindergarten?!"

Cheng Zhu: "...? Isn't it cute? How much like you!"
