The history of raising children from the Republic of China to the 70s

Li Chengye put away his things and sat casually on a chair, holding a stack of documents in his hand, but he didn't open it immediately, but looked at Master Qian, "Master Qian, are you tired? Why don't you go Take a bath, I saw a bathtub in it just now, just to relieve fatigue."

Master Qian was silent for a long time, and after a while, he got up from the bed, and then slowly entered the bathroom.

Half an hour had passed by the time Master Qian came out, and Li Chengye had already read almost all the information in his hand, and he was sitting casually drinking tea.

When people came out, he also went in to take a shower. After changing his clothes, he walked to the window. The light outside was like daylight, as if he had entered another world, completely different from the night in China.There are people coming and going on the streets in the distance, and the neon lights on the doors of the businesses are constantly flashing, which is extraordinarily lively.

He turned around and found that Master Qian was already lying on the bed, covered with a wide quilt, and seemed to have fallen asleep. Li Chengye had already heard the sound of steady breathing. Fortunately, he didn't snore at night, otherwise it would be difficult.

Li Chengye also couldn't sleep for a while, and after thinking about it, he planned to go out for a walk. He seemed to be a little indigestible after eating at night, and it would be a little uncomfortable.And they can move freely in the hotel, as long as they don't run out.

Li Chengye went out of the room, closed the door, and got on an elevator at random. He directly pressed the button to go to the top floor.This hotel has a total of 32 floors. When I checked in, I heard that the top floor is a small garden.But at this season, all flowers should have withered, so he went up to blow some air.

The elevator went all the way up to the 32nd floor, and Li Chengye climbed more than 20 more steps before finally pushing open a glass door and entering the range of the balcony on the top floor.Contrary to Li Chengye's expectation, this small garden is more like a glass greenhouse, with many flowers blooming inside, very beautiful.

Li Chengye took a casual look. There should be guests coming here from time to time, so there are many places where there are reminder signs, "Don't climb or break flowers and familiarize yourself", "Don't step on them at will", "Close the door casually".

While admiring it, Li Chengye suddenly heard what seemed to be a faint crying sound in the corner. Li Chengye frowned, and turned his ear to that direction to listen carefully, but unfortunately, like an illusion, the sound had disappeared.It must be an illusion.

Li Chengye thought about going outside to blow some wind. Thinking like this, he went directly to the door leading to the outside of the small garden. Just as he was about to open the door, he saw something moving in the corner where the crying sound was just now. for a moment.

He let go of the hand holding the doorknob, and strode towards the place covered by the vines. The closer he got, the clearer the intermittent weeping sound.He didn't hide the sound of his footsteps. There were some fallen branches on the path in the garden, and when his feet stepped on them, there was a crisp snapping sound. Li Chengye obviously felt the group of vines tremble.

Li Chengye stood still, slowly lowered his waist, and then gently brushed away the bunch of vines with his hands. In an instant, a pair of moist blue eyes appeared in front of his eyes. There seemed to be fear and fear in them. He (she) is also huddled together, wearing a furry hat on his (her) head, with exquisite and small facial features, and seems to be only three or four years old, making it impossible to determine whether this is a boy or a girl, let alone what the child is. How did you get here.

"Little friend, why are you here?" Seeing that he seemed to be very afraid of him, Li Chengye squatted on the ground, even his eyes and face were buried in his arms, and he didn't dare to go forward and hug him. After being carried out, this can squat on the ground, showing the most cordial smile, and asked the child.

It's a pity that the child didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't have any intention of caring about others. He just huddled together, and seemed to want to shrink into the vine.Li Chengye quickly walked away a little bit, there seemed to be plants with thorns inside, this carelessness would either pierce his face or his hands.

"Are you lost? How about uncle take you out? I'll take you to find your family?"

"Are you staying in this hotel? Where are your parents?"

"..."

Li Chengye persuaded him for a long time, but unfortunately, the child still didn't respond at all, and the weak cry before seemed to be blocked in his throat, and he lost his movement.

Li Chengye has a headache, and it's not easy for him to leave this time. He wants to go downstairs and notify the hotel staff to deal with it, but many plants here are too dangerous for children, and he is afraid that it will only take more than ten minutes. What danger will he encounter.I am even more worried that when he brings people over, he will go to another place again. These are all possible.

He also had a headache for a while, and suddenly he thought of a skill he had learned to coax Xiaobei and the others. He looked around and pulled out a few grasses similar to dogtail grass from not far away, and then He squatted back in front of the child again.

Just like that, the inside of the flower room became quiet, one with his head buried in a pitiful look, and the other squatting down and busy with himself, without any intention of disturbing each other.

The child was on guard for a while, and seemed to find that the person in front of him was still. He secretly raised his face from the next door, just enough to reveal his eyes, and his eyes fell on the place where Li Chengye was. He intended to see what the stranger was doing, but was attracted by the dexterous movements of his hands.The emerald green grass stalks fluttered nimbly in the hands of the person in front of him, and soon there seemed to be some outlines.

The child tilted his head, he didn't know what was in his hand, he just felt very curious, at this moment he forgot to retract his head, and his eyes were also staring at that side intently.

Li Chengye moved very quickly, apparently this was not the first time he had done such a thing, and soon an emerald green grasshopper appeared in his hand.

"Here you are." Li Chengye stretched out his hand to pass the green grasshopper in his hand to the child, but the child seemed to be frightened, and the eyes that were still on the grasshopper just now retracted immediately, still looking like he didn't want anyone to approach him. look.

Li Chengye would feel that there was something wrong with the boy, even if he was afraid of strangers, he didn't appear to be to this extent, and if children were afraid of anything, they would cry uncontrollably, but this child was very depressed.And I don't know if it's his delusion, or if it's because people in country D look similar, he always feels that the child in front of him looks like someone he once knew, or his best friend, of course, the one he knew in his previous life.

Li Chengye shook his head and laughed. For him, these past events were just a few short months, but the reality is that nearly 40 years have passed. Those people he once knew may have already passed away. It's easy to meet again.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Li Chengye forced himself to focus on the child in front of him, lightly placed the things in his palm not far from the child, and then took a few steps back.Although the child buried his head in his arms, he was still looking at Li Chengye's movements from the corner of his eye. When he noticed Li Chengye's movements, he lowered his guard a bit, and then slowly and hesitantly reached out to pick up the small things on the ground. When he got up, he moved very slowly, as if he was afraid that Li Chengye would suddenly approach him in the next second.

Picking up the straw grasshopper, the child looked it over carefully, his eyes were full of curiosity, as if he was very interested in what he was holding, and he seemed to be a little less wary of Li Chengye.

Seeing that this thing seemed to have an effect on him, Li Chengye immediately pulled a few grasses over again, and then his fingers fluttered, puppies, frogs, and birds appeared one after another, and the child seemed to be attracted by Li Chengye. , slowly moved towards Li Chengye's side, and the defense in his eyes also slowly disappeared.

By the time Li Chengye hugged the sleeping child in his arms, it was past ten o'clock in the evening in country D, and he didn't know how long the child had been in the greenhouse, but fortunately he was smarter and chose to stay here. The greenhouse inside is still relatively warm. If he went outside for so long, he would definitely be sick.

Li Chengye hugged the child under his clothes. It may be that there are two children who are about the same age in the family. He feels a little fond of the house, but he is more patient. Afraid that he will be uncomfortable, Li Chengye took off the hat from the child's head, The little golden curly hair, it turns out that this is a boy.As if feeling that someone was watching him, the little boy couldn't help pressing his little face to Li Chengye's chest, getting tighter and tighter. His hand was still holding the little thing that Li Chengye had woven for him before, and he didn't let go even in his sleep. mean.

Li Chengye didn't delay any longer. It's already so late. Looking at the little boy's clothes, he can tell that he is definitely not a child from a simple family. I don't know what's going on with his family, so I should go to the lobby and ask. Bar.

Li Chengye walked out of the glass conservatory with him still, and then boarded the elevator. The lobby of the hotel was still brightly lit, and there were many people coming and going, and their faces seemed to be very anxious.Li Chengye went directly to the front desk, probably because the child in his arms was too small and thin, and he also wore more clothes in winter, so no one noticed that there was a child in his arms.

Li Chengye soon arrived at the front desk, but the front desk seemed to be very busy. The blonde lady was sitting there concentrating on making a phone call, and Li Chengye didn't seem to respond to her at all standing in front of her.Seeing that she was so busy, Li Chengye could only wait helplessly.

"The third floor has been searched all over, sure."

"The fourth floor has been confirmed to be absent."

"It has now been confirmed that it has reached the fourteenth floor."

"Yes, the twentieth to twenty-fourth floors are occupied by Hua Guolai's visiting group. We haven't gone up to confirm yet."

"Yes, I understand. We will send people over immediately. Others have already conducted further searches near the hotel. As soon as there is news, we will notify you of this..."

The more Li Chengye heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He seemed to be looking for someone. Could it be that he was looking for the blond child in his arms? He had already searched room by room. It seemed that this matter was serious.Li Chengye didn't care if he would disturb others on the phone, so he immediately interrupted: "Hello, ma'am, are you looking for someone?"

The lady at the front desk seemed to be very unhappy about Li Chengye's interruption, or it might be because of the hotel's accident that was very anxious, so when she looked at Li Chengye, there was a hint of impatience in her eyes, but it might be because of her professionalism, she quickly Adjusted, "Sir, please wait a moment, let me finish this call."

Li Chengye will win now, it is almost certain that they should be looking for the little boy in their arms, so naturally they will not wait a while, seeing that the woman seems to continue to call again, he hastily said: "You are looking for a three or four-year-old with blonde hair and blue eyes The little boy? The one with the hat on?"

The woman's angry face immediately changed, "Do you know the news about the young master of the Philekide family? Where did you see it?" The woman was so excited that she almost grabbed Li Chengye's collar with her hands. Fortunately, Li Chengye He took a step back in time.

Her voice was not low, and several people standing in the lobby heard it very clearly. Soon, there was a rush of footsteps, and four or five people surrounded her.Before Li Chengye could say anything, they surrounded Li Chengye.

One of the middle-aged men wearing glasses seemed to be the person in charge of the hotel, and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Is there any news?"

The lady at the front desk immediately said: "Manager, this gentleman seems to have seen our young master."

"Sir, have you ever seen a little boy around three or four years old?" The man called the manager's eyes lit up immediately, and he confirmed to Li Chengye with expectation on his face.

It seemed that he was really a young master of a big family in his arms, and Li Chengye naturally didn't intend to look at others anxiously and indifferently, and opened the clothes on his chest, revealing half of his sleeping red face, Although it was only half a face, the people present immediately confirmed that this was the person they had been looking for all night, their young master.

"My God, it's really the young master. Is he asleep?" One of the people around exclaimed. The voice seemed a little loud, and the child in Li Chengye's arms immediately wrinkled in pain. She raised her pale golden eyebrows, as if she was disturbed by him.

"Keep your voice down." The manager who had been paying attention to the little boy naturally also noticed it, and immediately glared at the man, and whispered an order by the way.

Everyone present covered their mouths unconsciously, for fear of disturbing the young master's sleep.

"Chrissy, hurry up and inform Mr. Philekard that the young master has been found." After confirming that the child is fine, the manager immediately ordered the lady at the front desk to call.

"Yes." The phone in Ms. Chris's hand had already been hung up, and she hurriedly called back.
