Sometimes it's completely different than you imagined.
For example, I heard the adults promised to buy you a magnetic wand toy that can play chess and join together when they come back from other places.
Then when you wait for the stars and the moon and wait for them to get home, you find that what you received is just a red plastic cartoon character with colorful prints that falls off when you scratch it, and a low-quality top that can flash and play simple music.
Maybe it was because the family didn’t have any money at the time, maybe they couldn’t find it.
But it is more likely that they just don't care at all and think that children can just have something to occupy themselves, and it is not worth spending so much money and energy.
If you want to understand this, from being full of expectations to being disappointed when you hit the bottom, it feels really...
Oh, you can only be your own Santa Claus.
Ahem... I'm going too far. I seemed to have exposed something by accident...
In short, through this example, we can see that reality is often more skinny, and it will basically not follow your expectations.
Fate will always give you a slap in the face of fatherly love from time to time, making you quickly recognize the reality.
At the beginning of October, after taking off the bandages, I finally left the hospital bed to talk English level 4 vocabulary intensively, and got on the special car back to the hut.
On a sunny day with a blue sky, I looked through the car window at the passing high-rise buildings, with the nostalgia of having been away for a month.
I am looking forward to the warm and touching reunion scene after returning from the battle like in RPG, where the light suddenly becomes brighter, the petals are fluttering, the welcome with a warm smile, etc.
While thinking about what Shui Linlang meant when she told him, 'Remember to remove the balcony railings',
Seeing that no one came out to meet me at the door of the courtyard, I was stunned for a moment.
Eh? No...no one...?
Then after carrying my bag to the second floor and pushing the door in...
He found Meng Lang chewing a popsicle and sitting in front of the TV playing PS4.
Fang Ran: "..."
For a second just now I was thinking, ‘The reason why no one picked me up might be the kind of surprise welcome party after entering the door.’ I was so naive and cute...
And where did the PS4 come from!!
"Well, brother, Nihui is here."
Meng Lang, who saw no sign of welcome at all, biting into a popsicle and talking vaguely, said hello to himself without even putting down the handle.
The schoolbag that contained a few changes of clothes that Fang Xiaoran had brought for him fell from his hands in despair.
Fangran felt the reality of reality. She had completely given up on this guy and chose their usual way of reuniting...
"Brother, you heartless bastard, shit!"
"Fuck...sssss...go, brother, you have to...oooooooo!"
“Give me back the excitement and anticipation I felt when I got in the car in the afternoon!!!”
Looking at the guy enjoying life at home while blowing on the air conditioner, eating popsicles and playing PS4, I recall the miserable days when I could only lie in the hospital bed for the past week and couldn't even use my mobile phone.
Fangran, who was filled with grief and anger, grabbed the old popsicle and shoved it back into Meng Lang's mouth before he could say anything.
Then the two of them started fighting each other quickly. The model on the TV screen was obviously a beautiful girl, but for some reason she was a character from a fighting game.
Because there was no one to operate, the opponent who was about to lose was counterattacked, and the set of combos was full!
And then at this moment...
"Brother Meng, aren't you playing a game? Why did you make such a big deal again..."
Gou Yu walked out of the kitchen with a soft and helpless voice carrying the freshly made ice cream cake.
Seeing Meng Lang struggling on the floor, Fangran's mouth was blocked with a popsicle and he made a "woooooooooo" sound, and the white liquid that melted was still dripping from the corner of his mouth.
This beautiful character on TV, who was so uncontrollable, failed and collapsed when the light effects and clothes exploded at the same time.
Gou Yu: "..."
Have I seen this kind of scene before? (expressionless)...
And do you two only have this way of greeting each other (without any fluctuations in your heart)?
"Forehead..."
The moment they saw Gou Yu appear, while we were still fighting, you pulled my clothes, and I pulled your hair, both of us froze.
After looking at what he was doing now, Fangran silently pulled out the popsicle,
Then he tried his best to look at Gou Yu with a bright smile.
"That little or...how did you say that, right! There is only one truth...cough! It is often hidden under the surface of things!"
Gou Yu just looked at him slightly speechlessly, and in the end he couldn't help but couldn't laugh or cry. He could accept this scene and sighed softly:
"Captain, welcome back."
"Uuuu...Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for such a long time. It turns out you still love me. Hug!"
The moment he heard someone finally welcomed him back, Fangran, who had been away from home for nearly a month, was moved to tears.
He opened his hands and rushed towards Gou Yu's thigh, but Gou Yu pushed his head to stop him with a look of helplessness.
Captain, you have only been away for more than a week, and have your abnormal symptoms worsened again...
"Speaking of which, captain, why did you suddenly come back today? If you had told us in advance, we would have gone to pick you up."
Gou Yu asked strangely, as Fangran held down two hands with one hand and rushed towards him like a windmill.
Then after asking this question, he saw Fangran's expression blank.
"Brother Suqun said he could just send me back, but he told me that he had already told you."
"Huh? But I didn't receive the call?"
Gou Yu was also at a loss. He had no idea that Fang Ran would come back today. He saw his 'little or' who didn't seem to understand at all.
Fangran blinked blankly and thought for a moment,
Then both of them looked at Meng Lang silently.
"Forehead...."
There, adhering to the principle of eating frugally and not wasting money, Meng Lang licked the popsicle soup from the corner of his mouth. When he saw the two people's gazes, he felt embarrassed and turned his face towards the balcony on the other side and smiled guiltily:
"Speaking of which, it seems that I did receive a call from Brother Suqun saying that he will be back today..."
"Brother..."
Fangran grabbed his shoulders, raised his face in the style of a horror movie, and asked in a steady voice:
"Tell me honestly, is it because you played games all day and forgot about the baby's welcome party? Depending on your answer, I will decide whether to orgasm or not."
"Damn it, bro, your face is so scary! Wait! Listen to me, I didn't want you to be bored while you were recovering from your injuries, so I reluctantly used the money from selling shaved ice to buy this PS4 and prepare to send it to you, but
But I didn’t dare to have girl Xiaoran around, so I had to... cough..."
Meng Lang coughed in embarrassment mid-sentence, then patted his chest in a righteous assurance!
"But believe me, brother, I knew you liked playing games so I bought it with all my heart. I definitely didn't want to play it myself!"
"real?"
Hearing him mention that Fang Xiaoran seemed to be in such a situation, Fangran asked suspiciously,
Meng Lang pulled him over and found a handle and put it into his hand. He gave a thumbs up and said with a beaming smile:
"Hey~ of course it's true. Come on, brother, come and try it and you'll know."
"But I actually have no interest in this kind of video game..."
...
Four hours later.
"Damn it! I don't accept it! Let's play it again! Let's play it again! I will definitely beat you this time!"
In the spacious living room of the magical boy, in front of the ultra-thin TV bought during the last renovation, Meng Lang, who had been beaten by the King of Fighters all afternoon,
Looking at Fang Ran, whose eyes were shining and would never give up until he won a game, he pursed his lips and remained silent with a complicated expression.
Brother, we agreed that we are not interested...?
I sighed helplessly and clicked start again to enter the selection interface.
Meng Lang looked at the bright and bright sunshine outside, regretting the vicissitudes of life he had just used as an excuse. He felt like crying but had no tears in his heart, so he hid his face and cried bitterly.
And brother, your game talent is too bad. Do you dare to win a game and let me go to the toilet...!
