2017/November 10/Friday/Light Rain

Yangyang is the nickname of my nephew, who is ten years old and in fifth grade. The kid looks handsome, but a little thin. The chin is a bit pointed, a clean little face, a set of white teeth, beautiful lips, a pair of small eyes and a pair of big and beautiful ears.

As age changes, the little guy’s cleverness, playfulness, and liveliness become more and more obvious. He's just a bit shy, but when he's older, he should have the air of a little man.

This article is my experience in getting along with children, purely personal feelings.

Two days ago, because my sister was on a business trip, there was no one at home to take care of my nephew. So I asked my half-hearted aunt to help me cope with the situation for two days.

Because I feel unwell, I rarely go out, mostly at home and the hospital. My sister is busy with work, so I try not to add to her troubles. What you can do by yourself, do it by yourself.

When my nephew was a child, we were often together. Now that he is in school, we spend very little time together. During the holidays, we come and go in a hurry, and we don’t have much time to spend together.

But I have generally known each other’s habits since childhood, and I am so kind and loving, haha, so it is not difficult to get along with each other.

I just have stomach and chest discomfort in the past few days. I also used hot compresses last night in the hope that it will be relieved after observation.

My sister left early in the morning, so I was instantly upgraded to a parent. So I can’t lie down in bed, snooze, or set an alarm clock. Get up at 1 o'clock, wash up, and make breakfast.

Then talk to him in a democratic communication method.

You can express your safety awareness when going out, the time after school, and what you want to eat today. If you have any requests or opinions, you can express them directly. As long as you can do it, try to be satisfied.

The premise is that you must be obedient and do your part well.

With a cunning little look in his eyes, he assured me categorically. Breakfast is very simple, plain noodles with a little chopped green onion. I don't like eating from outside. My sister is busy and spends a lot of time outside in the morning, and he is tired of eating. So a home-cooked meal once in a while will feel very fresh. In order not to be late, I finished my meal quickly and went out happily.

The means of transportation is my sister’s small electric car. After I take him to school. My sister gave me money to buy groceries and went directly to the vegetable market.

The child said he wanted to eat fresh dumplings, so he used fresh lean meat and carrots, and then searched for dumpling wrappers. I was a bit unfamiliar, and I still couldn't figure out how to make dumplings. The lady boss demonstrated it many times, and I finally understood it.

The weather is dry in winter, and greasy fried foods and pickled foods are not suitable for patients and children. I bought small pieces of winter melon, half a pound of lean meat, some fresh fish, and green cabbage. Looking at the color, I immediately increased my appetite.

The morning air is so fresh, it seems to purify people's mood. Riding my little BMW, moving slowly under the bright sky. Her long hair was fluttering, and the loose strands of hair were gently caressing her face, and they were flying freely in the wind.

I feel that all the discomforts in my body have disappeared in this early morning.

When I got home, I rolled up my sleeves and prepared to do something big. Dedicate yourself to one thing and you will be happy.

The first dumpling I tried was out of shape. Then while looking at it, he recalled the scene of the landlady making dumplings. After clearing my mind, I didn’t expect that it really wouldn’t be scattered anymore.

Although it looks a bit rough, my sister said it looks very different. But it’s edible. There are dozens of them. I’ll make them for breakfast tomorrow. I really admire myself.

Next, Yangyang wants to eat meatballs. Her mother often uses salt, soy flour, and then minces the meat. Make small meatballs. When the meatballs are almost cooked, wash the winter melon and be careful not to peel it, so that the winter melon can keep its original shape.

When it’s out of the pot, sprinkle some chopped green onion, it’s light and nutritious, isn’t it a bit fancy?

It is up to you to take care of your body. Because I have been sick for so long, I can only understand this experience by experiencing it myself, and I will cherish it more. Time flies so quickly. After I have washed some rice, I go to pick up my little nephew from school.

We made an appointment, but there were too many children, so I was afraid that he would forget and miss me. I looked for his shadow in the vast sea of ??people. It was really laborious and made my eyes dizzy, so I gave myself a detour and trusted him.

Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, he ran to me happily and asked me how long I had been waiting. I told him about looking for someone, and the little guy actually said, believe him, he can find me, and it will be no problem if he follows the promised address.

Yes, it was entirely me who underestimated him.

Many times, you have to choose to trust him first and cultivate the child's ability to be independent, because the child is growing up slowly, and the elder sister teaches very well.

As soon as he entered the door, the little guy smelled the delicious food. I pursed my lips and smiled when I saw the stewed winter melon soup on the table. There were meatballs.

I was thinking about frying some more vegetables, but he actually said that my mother often reheats the leftovers from last night in the microwave before eating them.

He is really a sensible little guy, so okay. A friendly reminder, my sister should cook more fresh food for him in the future.

My blood sugar is high before meals. I have to take an injection every time before eating. I have to suppress it because I have few platelets, so I can only keep suppressing it. Ask him to help me put a bowl of rice and then start.

I dug out a small meatball with a spoon, my little eyes widened and my eyebrows moved. The expression is a bit funny, so smooth and tender, and it’s so delicious. The pink little mouth looks like it has been smeared with honey. Shouldn’t the greatest sense of accomplishment in cooking be that the person who eats it is happy?

We both looked at each other and smiled, and my aunt tried to make it better for the next meal. To be honest, this sugar-coated bomb worked very well for me, although the salt taste of the soup was a bit lacking.

After dinner, we started talking again.

Yangyang: Auntie, I think eating is a very enjoyable thing, but washing dishes is a very painful thing?

What a thief, this guy is indicating that I don’t want to wash the dishes.

Me: Okay, I will wash the dishes at noon today, but you must understand one thing. Eating is happy, washing dishes is painful. Then should we share the pain with each other, so that we can not only exercise ourselves, but also experience the painful process, so that next time you can think of your mother's difficulties.

Parents should have enough patience, teach by words and deeds, let them understand love and responsibility, and let their children learn to take responsibility.

He was a little embarrassed, smiled and nodded, and then said sincerely: I will wash the dishes that night.

He was given a small task to take out the garbage every day, and he went there obediently, very willingly. Because it turns out that every time I ask him to take out the trash, he always pouts.

In my free time, I just love watching cartoons. I think watching TV is not all bad. For example, cartoons can improve his imagination and creativity.

Just remind him not to delay going to school. After all, the time is short, so there is no need to restrain him too much.

Adults and children must learn to communicate and keep their hearts close, so that when they have their own space, they feel it is reasonable and understand how to respect others.

In the afternoon, I do my own thing. I've been trying to learn to draw some simple figures recently, and I'm obsessed with it. It looks like a simple pattern, but it is not easy to make it yourself. For me, a novice, it is very challenging, but if I am willing to do it, I am the best.

It’s super difficult to make a simple painting, lines, and positions smooth before the end. It would take me dozens of minutes, or several hours, to scribble and correct it over and over again. I would only stop when I knew it looked pleasing to my eye.

When a painting that is not very beautiful appears vividly in front of my eyes, I feel happy in my heart. I enjoy this process very much.

Love is the best teacher, I can persist, but my eyes are a little uncomfortable, so I can only click until now.

I found that mobile phones are a good thing, but I suddenly missed that old phone, which had no functions except making calls.

As for smart phones, there are all kinds of tricks. People who are too curious want to learn everything and try everything, so I make myself very tired.

So, I remind myself over and over again to do what I can.

You have to remember to work hard, but don’t rush. The body is the first priority, and it must be done as long as the body allows it, otherwise, the gain outweighs the loss.

When I went to the hospital to prescribe medicine, Dr. Tong joked that I couldn’t resist temptation. There were so many talented people that I had to catch up, so I didn’t have to live. He also made insinuations and reminded me that my mentality was not as good as before. Haha, only I know whether it is good or not and I will not explain it.

So, accept everyone’s opinions, let it go, and just take it one step at a time. Keep your head down at the starting point and ask for less. There is no need to be so hard on yourself.

In the evening, I started making dinner again. This time I changed a little bit. I used the radish grown by my mother at home to fry fish, make a small bowl of soup, and stir-fry green vegetables. It has both meat and vegetables, and the combination is very good.

I heard his voice calling me in the corridor. After school was early, I let him walk home to exercise his physical fitness.

The meal had already been prepared. When he came in, he said without hesitation, "What a sumptuous dinner." You cunning naughty boy, he has so many tricks, he wants to lift me to the sky.

Still give me food, and I still have to take injections. He ate it with relish and nodded while eating, looking very happy.

I was also very happy and quietly told everyone that the taste of the food was not great, but finally someone said that my food was delicious.

We started talking again, and this time what he said surprised me a little.

Yangyang: Auntie, you love life so much, but it’s a pity that you are in poor health. It's destiny, every time you get a blood transfusion, every time you get really sick, you get through it.

Me: Auntie, I can’t survive. My health is getting worse and worse, and I am drifting away. You are still young and don’t understand.

Yangyang: No, I believe you. You will definitely not die of illness in the future, but of old age.

I almost burst out laughing, with food still in my mouth. This kid is really childlike. Do you understand what he means? Anyway, I understand. I remember when I was four or five years old, he said that when he grew up, he and his sister would become doctors to cure my disease.

What a simple and direct love! He was five years old at that time.

He is only ten years old this year, and his heart is so bright, clear, and kind. I can feel his feelings for me and I am very touched.

Next, he took the initiative to clean up the dishes. It was just washing dishes, there was only water on the chopping board, the pool was full of food, and there was a mess everywhere.

It doesn't matter, I'm very satisfied with his performance.

It was still early after dinner, so he took the initiative to tell me that he would do his homework on time at 7 o'clock and now he would watch cartoons for a while.

I turned on the remote control quickly and I shook my head, forget it.

I started writing a diary again, which is to summarize your daily routine in a planned way. This is something I have recently learned, and I will share it with everyone in the future.

Then I showed him the simple drawing I had drawn, and the guy actually burst out laughing. She laughed so much that she knelt down on the floor, rolled over on her back, and then said seriously, "My aunt is great. If her mouth doesn't become crooked, she will be even more beautiful."

Well, I accept it. It does need to be improved, but it will take time. It is understandable for people with zero basic knowledge, but I will continue to insist on painting.

At nine o'clock, we went to bed on time and set the alarm clock. Before going to bed, he gave me some advice again.

Yangyang: Auntie, can you buy me some fruit tomorrow?

Me: Sure, just tell me what you want to eat and I’ll buy it tomorrow.

Yangyang: Orange. Me: No problem, go to sleep.

Yangyang: Thank you, auntie, you are so kind.

His attitude is very good, and his eyes are full of admiration. I was really surprised by his behavior. It seemed that he had really grown up.

My innocent heart was flapping its wings like a butterfly, and I was immediately moved by his sweet words.

The next day and the third day, we were very peaceful, very friendly, and got along very well.

When I bought the oranges, I didn’t forget to say, the oranges are so sweet, what a clever guy.

Then I do my thing, he writes his homework, and we share the results with each other.

On the third night, my sister didn’t come back until 8 o’clock. Leave the food for her and just heat it up. I can go home tomorrow. This arduous task is completed, because in every family, children are the most important thing and cannot be careless.

After taking a shower, Yangyang was doing homework as usual. I picked up his composition book and it really opened my eyes.

Looking at the compositions he wrote, some are imaginative, some are narrative, and some are daily, each one is more exciting than the last.

Everyone laughed out loud when I watched it. It’s really great and worthy of my study. Not monotonous at all, quick thinking and extremely rich imagination.

In terms of language expression ability, memory ability, and some cognition, I am very ashamed that I cannot compare with him in many aspects.

His progress can be described as rapid, which is not an exaggeration at all. I will ask him to be my teacher in the future.

After being praised, his expression was filled with pride and joy. I think at this time, he should receive the best praise, and there is no need to be stingy at all.

My sister heard the laughter and was curious why I kept giggling. After learning about it, she was very happy. He said that he has been too busy recently and has not paid attention to Yangyang in the past two days. He will pay more attention next time.

However, there are many shortcomings and we still need to work hard and cannot be proud.

Yes, I am very pleased with his progress. As a parent, it is also very important to understand and accept your children's emotions.

Whether it is a sister or someone else, raising a child really requires a lot of energy.

This morning, I didn’t set the alarm clock. My sister went to work very early, and it was actually 8:30. I woke up quickly and had to go home.

However, the little one didn't make any movement and didn't respond at 9 o'clock. I was making breakfast.

This time I raised the decibel level, and he sat up lazily, extremely reluctant to get up. Oh my god, why is there such a contrast between going to school and not going to school? But I got up in the end, and I stopped talking.

But it was so happy to see him eating dumplings with such a satisfied look.

Before leaving, he asked me to stay one more night. I said next time. I just hope that next time I come, this bad habit will be corrected. Auntie, I wish you all-round development and success in learning.

Come on, be optimistic about you, the future belongs to you.
