Entertaining Children

Chapter 2 Different world

Chapter 2 Different Worlds

The old man and the doctor came out of the ward and just turned on the aisle, they saw a young man in a wheelchair parked by the door of the ward. The hand of the nurse behind him was not placed on the armrest of the wheelchair, and he obviously stopped here. The man had his left hand and right foot in plaster, and his head was still bandaged. He looked like he was left behind. He was the father of the child in the ward and Xiao Siqi, the son of the old man in front of him.

The doctor glanced at the man, shook his head, and left. The old man stood in front of the man and asked softly: “Why don’t you go in?”

The man’s eyes were red, his body seemed to be trembling slightly, and he sobbed: “I heard that Bayi woke up, so I asked the nurse to push me over. But as soon as I got to the door, I heard Bayi asking his mother. I, I dare not go in, I’m afraid the child will ask me for my mother.”

The old man put his hand on the man’s shoulder, squeezed it lightly, and said, “It was the truck in front that suddenly changed lanes and caused your car to lose control and hit the guardrail. This is an accident. It is not within your control. This is not. your fault.”

The man said: “I know, but can the child know? He is so small, can he understand it? After all, the steering wheel is in my hand.”

The old man thought for a while, smiled and said, “I think, maybe your son can really understand.” Then he said, “Speaking of which, it has only been a few months. I found that Bayi’s progress is not small. Speak. The organization and logic are very strong. After experiencing this kind of thing, although it is very sad, but neither crying nor making trouble, not like a three-year-old child, but like a little adult. More than ordinary Such an old child is more sensible. It seems that you taught him very well.”

The man shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Dad, don’t you know me? Haven’t you criticized me and said that I am still a child and I haven’t grown up. How can I take care of the children? Apart from singing to Bayi, I usually accompany him at home. It’s just playing. Zilin has always been in charge of Bayi’s education.”

“Zilin, what a good boy, what a pity…” The old man sighed, “It is really your blessing to marry a wife like Zilin. But now it seems that your blessing is not that great. what…”

Looking at his son now, it seems that it is indeed not suitable to go in to see the child. The old man patted his son on the shoulder, and comforted: “Don’t blame yourself. But your current state is indeed not suitable for going in to see the child, it will stimulate the child. You go back now, and wait until the state is adjusted. Come again, or I will bring the child to see you when the time comes.”

Only Li Hao was left in the ward again. Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the ward he was in. Although there are some memories of the Bayi children in his mind, most of those memories are about the three family members, and it does not help Li Hao to understand the time and space he is in. He doesn’t even know where he is now. In time and space, what year and month is today.

Jumped out of the hospital bed, and Li Hao, who searched the hospital bed, turned out a tablet computer. This discovery made Li Hao overjoyed. In modern society, if you want to obtain comprehensive information, the Internet is undoubtedly the most convenient and fast method.

Slightly makes Li Hao a little strange. The tablet computer he found turned out to be a brand he had never seen or heard of. Fortunately, the indicators for turning on and off the machine, volume, and other buttons are still those that Li Hao is familiar with. Long press the power button, the screen of the tablet computer also lights up normally.

“It’s probably an unknown copycat brand, otherwise it won’t be thrown in the ward so casually.” Li Hao guessed in his heart. But when the boot animation was over, Li Hao found that the tablet’s operating system was not the Android or Apple’s IOS that he was familiar with in the past, or even Microsoft’s win, and none of the icons on the desktop was familiar to him.

“Did I get a personal DIY tablet from a strange geek, or is this a different world at all?” As a senior reader of online novels, Li Hao can quickly accept the fact that he travels, so different worlds, different planes These words are also not unfamiliar to him. Relying on guessing, he opened a spherical shape that looked like an icon of the earth, and what he needed was the browser that popped out.

Although the interface of this browser is different from that of any well-known browser he knows, the appearance of some components such as the address bar and favorites are still very similar. Li Hao glanced at the lower right corner of the screen. Although I don’t know if this world is also called wifi, the segmented fan-shaped sign that makes people look particularly friendly shows that the tablet should have been automatically connected to the wireless network.

Sure enough, there is no Baidu and Google, but there are search engines, and there are also pinyin input methods, but they are not of any kind that Li Hao knows. This basically confirmed that Li Hao was really in another world now. But how much is this world the same as the world I was in before, and how different is it? This is something Li Hao needs to figure out.

After almost half an hour of hard work, Li Hao has a general understanding of the world he is currently in.

Speaking of, the early histories of the two worlds are still exactly the same. There is no difference in the dynasties and characters of primitive society and feudal society. The time point of the difference appeared in modern times, that is, it was almost a hundred years ago. At that time, it was not Mr. Sun’s people who stood up to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, and the revolution did not occur in the year of Xinhai. These are another group of people who did it at another time. And then the history has become a little different.

But this difference is not particularly big, because although the names of the characters and events are different, the process is the same, the same goes through warlord melee, anti-Japanese war, civil war, and finally the founding of the country. The country is still surnamed communism. In the decades after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, some mistakes were also made. After the mistakes were corrected, the country also focused on economic development. The difference is mostly just a few names.

This situation reminded Li Hao of an American drama he had watched in his previous life. There were two worlds, Earth One and Earth Two. Both Earths have good people, bad people, heroes, ordinary people, and big villains. The hero who is only Earth One is just an ordinary person on Earth Two, and the other hero is even a big villain. And among the most common people, a sturdy policeman in Earth One turned out to be a gentle bar singer in Earth Two. Compared with the characters, most of the buildings and institutions are still the same, but the owners or creators are different.

Li Hao’s previous life and the two different worlds he currently lives in are somewhat similar to this situation. However, Xiao Yao was a little surprised, and at the same time different from the American drama, the technological development of the two worlds is not consistent. It is only in 2002 that tablet computers have appeared, which is a full decade or so from the previous life.

The historical aspect is clear. Just when Li Hao wanted to continue to understand other aspects of the world he was in now, he heard footsteps coming from the door. Li Hao quickly stuffed the tablet in his hand under the pillow on his hospital bed, and then leaned on the pillow seemingly casually.

The old man who opened the door and entered was the old man who had just left, and it was also the person Li Hao needed to call grandpa from now on. The old man was carrying a few food boxes in his hands, obviously he was here to deliver food to his grandson.

“Grandpa!” Since Li Hao has accepted the world he lives in now and his new identity, this grandpa yells hardly.

“Aye, are you hungry? Come, grandpa is here to get you something to eat, hurry up and eat while it’s hot.” As he said, the old man pushed the movable table aside over the hospital bed and placed a box of food. Go up.

Li Hao also felt that this body was indeed in a very hungry state, so he unceremoniously grabbed the chopsticks, opened the food box and gobbled it up.

“Hey, Bayi’s chopsticks are already good. It’s really good.” The old man glanced slightly surprised at the spoon that Li Hao directly ignored, and turned to look at Li Hao holding the chopsticks and eating with joy.

Li Hao is still in a certain period of adaptation to this body. After all, a 30-year-old soul manipulates the body of a three-year-old child, and there will always be some discomfort at the beginning, so this makes the chopsticks a little stiff. But for a child over three years old, it’s not bad if you don’t need an adult to chase and feed. It is commendable to be able to take a spoon and eat a good meal by yourself, not to mention being able to eat directly with chopsticks.

Li Hao froze for a moment, remembering the picture of the beautiful mother teaching her ex-body master to use chopsticks in his mind, and pretending to say in a natural tone: “Mom taught me.”

When the child mentioned his mother, the happy expression on the old man’s face slowly disappeared, replaced by a burst of sadness. Watching the meal, Li Hao asked in a low voice with concern: “My child, mom went to heaven, do you blame your dad?”

As soon as the words were spoken, the old man regretted it. Although the child knows what death is about, a child his age may not understand the car accident, let alone distinguish the responsibilities. When he asked this, it might have played a role contrary to his own wishes.

Li Hao recalled the last memory of the original Bayi children. Although the child still can’t tell what happened in the car accident, it is some of the most memorable scenes during his lifetime. This memory is still very complete and clearly preserved. Li Hao saw the whole process of the car accident. The responsibility for the accident should be on the large truck that suddenly slowed down and changed lanes without turning on the turn signal. The nominal dad in the driving seat did not make any wrong decisions or actions.

“I know that it was the big truck in front that suddenly changed lanes without turning on the turn signal. At the same time, it seemed to slow down suddenly. Dad did it to avoid the big truck. It was not his responsibility.” Since it’s not the old man in the name. Dad’s responsibility, Li Hao didn’t need to make the old man worry all the time, and replied straightforwardly.

“This…” The old man who hadn’t reported much hope at first heard Li Hao’s words, feeling a little speechless in his heart. Some evildoers looked at Li Hao and asked, “Turn the light? Change lanes? Do you know what it means? Your mother taught you.”

“Oops.” Li Hao cried secretly. Children over three years old don’t know this. But then I think about it, my 30-year-old soul pretends to be a three-year-old child, no matter how he pretends, he cannot pretend to be perfect. And I don’t seem to want to pretend to be a child all the way for the next ten years, it would be too hard. Oneself should also behave in a moderate manner, in order to fight for more autonomy in future life, to do some things that oneself want to do.

“Well,” Li Hao nodded, “I was sitting in the back seat with my mother. I once pointed to the lights on the tail of the passing car and asked what it meant. My mother told me that it was called steering. Lights, when the car is turning, the light should be flashed to remind the people in the car behind that I am going to turn. And the roads separated by lines on the road are called lanes, which are drawn to separate the cars, from one lane to In the other lane, the turn signal should also be turned on. My mother said I am very smart, and I can understand everything after I teach it, and I can remember it.” Anyway, in Li Hao’s memory, the Bayi children and mother were in the back seat. Some chatting, the voice is not loud, music is still playing in the car, and the father driving in the front driver’s seat can’t hear what they say. Now that my mother has passed away, no one knows what they talked about, so Li Hao just started to make up.

The old man is speechless. This kid is too smart. But this is his grandson, he is from the old Xiao family, and the child is smart, so he should be happy. Turning to my original intention, he said to Li Hao: “August Yi, since you understand, then you can comfort your father, OK? He blames himself for this, and thinks he killed your mother. I can’t face you anymore.”

“Huh?” Li Hao was a little embarrassed. To be honest, Li Hao didn’t know much about his current relatives. There were only some life fragments of the Bayi children. This comforting job, I really don’t know what to do now.

Fortunately, the old man continued: “But your father’s mood and state are not very good now. Let him be quiet today, and I will take you to see him tomorrow, okay?”

“Okay.” Li Hao nodded. I also need time to sort out the fragments of life in my memory, and think about how to unravel that very temperamental dad.
