father's tree

Li Su did not go to kindergarten, and was sent directly to elementary school when she was four and a half years old.

Li Su didn't remember the reason behind this. When asked about Li Chang'en, Li Chang'en said that it was because he was smart. When he was four and a half years old, he could already recite many ancient poems and knew thousands of characters, so he didn't need to go to kindergarten. , just sent him to primary school directly.

In Li Su's memory, it seems that the memory of the school is not very good.

He was more than four years old, and he couldn't get up in the morning at all in winter. He was picked up by his father to get dressed, went downstairs to have breakfast, and was carried to school by his father.

Most of the time, it was the nanny Xiaomei who carried him to school. When Xiaomei didn't want to carry him, he followed her by himself. However, in his memory, he only remembered the scene when his father carried him to school.

He can bury his face in his neck, put his hands on his shoulders, and grunt, "Daddy, I don't want to go to school."

My father would say, "Susu doesn't want to go to school, so what should she do?"

Li Su couldn't answer why, but she just didn't want to go to school.

But he was still sent to the classroom.

Later, when he grew up, he realized that his primary school was very close to his home when he found that it only took 5 minutes to walk to the primary school. When running behind Xiaomei, the road seemed to be so long that it would never finish. The school fence was also very high. Except for the birds that could fly past, he couldn’t see anything beyond the fence. He was just locked in by the fence. Inside, he often felt bored because of it.

But when he grew up and looked at the wall, it was actually not much higher than him.

He is the youngest student in the class, and the shortest in height, small, like a doll.

He remembered that he sat in the first row throughout his student life, and it was no exception at that time. The teacher was right in front of him, and he was the first to see him. Li Su didn't dare to doze off in class, and even dared not go to To go to the toilet, the toilet in the school is not a flush toilet like his home. He felt scared when he stood in front of the squat pit, as if he was about to fall, so he went there for the first time, and he dared not go there again.

In the winter, he peed in his pants and didn't dare to let anyone know. He didn't dare to let Aunt Mei and Xiaofen know when he got home. At such a young age, he still doesn't know what to do with his soiled pants.

Aunt Mei told his father that it was late at night, and Li Su couldn't sleep at night because of the mistakes he made during the day. He stayed downstairs for a long time until he heard his father's voice coming back. It was about eating supper, and there was the sound of Aunt Mei chatting with him, and then the sound of him walking up the wooden stairs, Li Su closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The shadow of his father standing by the bed was reflected in Li Su's heart just like that, so that he could never forget this scene for many years to come.

His father bent down and kissed him twice on the cheek. The stubble on his face was prickly. Li Su knew that he had done something wrong, so he trembled and pretended to be sleeping soundly, but his father still found out that he hadn't. Sleeping, whispered in his ear, "Little villain, is there anything wrong with today?"

Li Su had to open her eyes, and was about to cry, "Dad..."

Li Changen kissed his forehead again, "Okay, daddy is going to take a bath, and I'll listen to you later."

Li Su waited anxiously for him, the time waiting for Li Changen to go to bed was a long torment for him, and when his father finally came to bed and held him in his arms as usual, he became even more anxious.

His father's hand was warm and broad, gently stroking his hair and his cheek, "Did you dare not ask for leave during class? Dad said that if you want to go to the bathroom, you should raise your hand and tell the teacher."

Li Su felt aggrieved and said that he was afraid of the toilets in the school. Li Changen did not scold him, but said, "There is nothing to be afraid of. Susu is a man, so she is afraid of toilets."

Li Su was about to cry, "But I was afraid that I would fall."

Li Changen couldn't think of any other way, so he said, "Dad, change the toilet at home to the one in your school. If you get used to it at home, you won't be afraid at school, okay?"

Li Su kept shaking her head, "No, it will fall."

Li Su has always gone to the toilet like a girl, sitting on the toilet. His family has a small toilet specially designed for children. When he was a child, Li Changen carried him on it. I got used to it and climbed up by myself, and no other way to go to the toilet would work.

Li Changen had been busy all day and was exhausted. Seeing how well his son could be coaxed, he said, "Susu, let's go to bed first. Dad will accompany you to school on weekends. Let's try it out."

Li Su was not asleep yet, but Li Changen was already asleep.

On the weekend, Li Changen really found time to take his son to school, standing in the school toilet, Li Changen taught him how to pee, Li Su couldn't learn it, but seeing that Li Changen was getting irritable, he had to say that he could do it.

The subsequent school life was always difficult for Li Su, because he had to stay home every day to go to the toilet, so he learned not to drink water.

Every day after school, he quickly walks home. Some classmates invite him to play together, but he doesn’t agree. He doesn’t have many friends at school. When male classmates invite him to go to the bathroom, he never agrees, and he dares not even talk to girls. Said that at that time, male and female students were not even allowed to sit in a row, which made him not popular all the time.

From the first grade to the third grade in elementary school, his grades have always been good, with double hundred points in total, and his handwriting is even better. His composition diary is often posted on the blackboard at the back of the classroom as an example.

He is like a little prince in the classroom, well-behaved, smart and beautiful, and he is secretly liked by others.

But he didn't know it himself.

Li Su was more than eight years old when he was in the fourth grade, and only then began to change his teeth. Except for memory and intelligence, his other developments were later than ordinary children.

When changing his teeth, he suffered from a severe toothache. Before that, he endured it and didn't tell the nanny or Li Chang'en that his father was always away. He had learned to endure many things.

That night, after Li Changen came back, he climbed into bed and hugged him to sleep. Li Su tossed and turned in his arms. Li Changen patted him on the back and asked him, "Susu, what's wrong?"

Li Su had to say, "Dad, my tooth hurts."

Li Changen thought he had tooth decay, so he turned on the headlights and table lamps in the room, and asked him to open his mouth to look, only to find that Li Su was changing teeth, the permanent teeth were about to grow, but the deciduous teeth hadn't fallen out yet.

Li Changen kissed him on the cheek, "This is a new tooth, Susu is not afraid, the new tooth will not hurt anymore."

Li Changen was too busy and tired at work, and he always just wanted to rest when he went home. If he hadn't had a son at home, he probably didn't even want to go home, so he just lived outside.

At this time, his son had a toothache. Although he cared about it, he couldn't beat his exhaustion. After coaxing his son a few words, he fell asleep.

Li Su was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep well. She had nightmares at night and was listless during the day.

Li Su was called into the office by the teacher to ask, "Student Li Su, why do you keep dozing off in class? Dozing off in class is not a good boy."

Li Su silently didn't know what to say, and listened to the lesson with her head bowed guiltily.

Li Chang'en had already told Aunt Mei to cook what Li Su could eat when he changed his teeth, soft ones, preferably porridge, and more fish, but this did not lessen the pain of Li Su's toothache.

In the evening when Li Changen came back, Li Su still didn't sleep. He was reading on the bed with a book in his hand. He was in the fourth grade of elementary school and was watching "The Enmity of Monte Cristo". Li Changen extremely doubted whether he could understand it.

Li Changen hadn't taken a shower yet, so he sat on the edge of the bed, patted his son's head, and said, "Stop reading, why don't you go to sleep."

Li Su said obediently, "I went to sleep."

Li Changen went to take a shower and went to bed, Li Su had already tucked into the quilt, Li Changen climbed onto the bed, and held his son in his arms, Li Su's small body was fragrant and soft, holding his little feet in the palm of his hand After rubbing it, it was a little cold, and said, "It's cold to sleep, let Aunt Mei burn a hot water bottle, you know?"

Li Su nodded.

Li Changen thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll let you buy an electric blanket."

Even though the two nannies in the family have been working for him for many years, they still can't treat Li Su like their own children. They use hot water bottles themselves, and they don't bother to use one for Li Su.

Li Changen suddenly felt sad, but even if he married another woman, his stepmother might not be very kind to Li Su.

After all, he was the one who felt sorry for Li Su.

Li Su curled up obediently in his arms at first, and then started to move again. Anyway, she couldn't sleep well.

Li Changen had no choice but to ask again, "Susu, what's the matter? Is it still a toothache? Aunt Mei didn't cook porridge for you?"

Li Su buried her head in his chest, "It still hurts, it's the porridge I ate, but it still hurts."

Li Chang'en felt so sad that he couldn't get any worse, and turned on the light to look at his son's teeth. The gums of the two replacement teeth were already very red and swollen, presumably because of severe inflammation.

Li Changen didn't dare to give Li Su any medicine, so he got up and called a friend who was a doctor. The doctor said to take anti-inflammatory medicine and then rinse his mouth with salt water.

Li Changen got up to find anti-inflammatory medicine for Li Su, then went downstairs to the kitchen and poured salt, carried it upstairs, picked Li Su up and went to the bathroom for him to rinse his mouth.

Li Su slowly brushed his teeth, Li Changen looked at his son's white and cute face in the mirror, sighed in his heart, and said, "Dad will take you to the zoo some time this weekend, okay?"

Li Su's eyes widened suddenly, and there was a bright light in his eyes, "Well,...thank you, Dad."

After Li Su finished rinsing his mouth, Li Changen hugged him again, and the two wrapped themselves in the quilt. Li Changen kissed his little face and then his little lips, "My dear son."

Saying this, his heart was filled with unspeakable distress and love. Li Su was the person he loved the most in this world.
