"White clouds hang in the blue sky, like your smile. You look good when you smile. Just like the flowers in spring, you blow away all the troubles and sorrows. You look good when you smile, like summer sunshine. " At that moment, I saw my daughter running in the sunflower. Michael Qi, daughter also smiled like a bell. The blooming hollyhocks in the yard smile in the evening breeze, and the sunset blushes and smiles kindly-they are really touching, brilliant and beautiful.

Recently, the hollyhock planted in the third and fourth districts near the community has been in bloom for the second time. In summer, pink flowers sway with the wind, which is both beautiful and generous. The blooming hollyhock poked its head playfully out of the wall of the community, stretched itself and smiled at passers-by, blooming a season's unique fiery red and enthusiasm. Those flowers are blooming in the wind, and that sweet smile has been deeply imprinted in my mind. Every time you pass by, you should record it with your mobile phone. Every time I pass by, I look for the children running around among the flowers from those bright smiles. The babies called "beasts" stare at their running and laughing faces intently-they laugh so beautifully.

According to relevant data, "God beast" is a popular online buzzword in the first half of 2020, and it is synonymous with "children taking online classes at home". At that time, "God beast" was also selected as one of the top ten buzzwords in Chewing Words. That year, many primary and secondary schools postponed the start of school, and children attended classes online at home. These little guys are lively and lovely, naughty and active, and have superior IQ. Staying at home for a long time makes me flustered. Parents go to work without the supervision of teachers. Network classroom is different from traditional teaching and management. Parents have to try their best to coax and teach, and try their best to fight with these little guys. Sometimes they make up satirical stories. Sometimes some methods are not easy to use and parents have a headache.

I live near my two colleagues, Xiao Qi and Xiao Wang, who work upstairs. Sometimes, Xiao Qi and I go back by Xiao Wang's car after work. Their daughters are similar in age and attend classes in kindergartens on the west side of the community. They are all "beasts" of the same age, smart, clever and particularly likable. Every time we take a bus together, what we like best is the story told by two "god beast" mothers. Not long ago in March and April, these two "beasts" stayed at home like other children. Xiao Qi's daughter was taken away by the old man at home. Because both of them are at work, the old people at home can't come, so they send them to their hometown to be looked after by the old people and go back to accompany them every weekend.

During that time, Xiao Qi's daughter was at home in the third district, accompanied by an old man. They are too busy with their work in class to attend to during the day. When I get home at night, the children are as inseparable as before and after, sticking to my body. Although it is rare to have old people to take care of children, there is still a generation gap. It is not as good as parents' understanding of children's psychology, so it was ok at first. After a long time, the gap in care, communication and education between the elderly and children has come out. Sometimes when I get home, the old man is tired and wronged, and the children are unhappy. They also told their mother that the old man is a big child, and the old man has to be coaxed, and the child has to be coaxed. Sometimes, Xiao Qi has to use his brain to make old people and children laugh happily, and he naturally enjoys it.

"Sometimes I am busy all night putting her to sleep, looking at her sweet smile and talking in her sleep. I turned her over, covered her with a quilt, turned her over and got kicked again. I slept so sweetly that my heart was really sad and sweet. That moment is the most beautiful. All the hardships and tiredness at work have become a happy embellishment in front of my daughter's sweet smile. " Once riding with Qi, Qi talked about her daughter's happiness and satisfaction. Speaking of emotional feelings, it's like talking to yourself. Between the lines reveals the warmest, most selfless and most affectionate love in the world. There are tears in her eyes. I couldn't bear to interrupt, so I listened carefully to their story of "God beast".

At that time, Xiao Wang sent his baby daughter to her hometown in Pingyin. Although the old people in the family tried their best to make her happy, after a long time, the mother and daughter really wanted to replace each other. Once in a car, Xiao Wang told Xiao Qi and me in the car, "Every night, when we video with our children, the first sentence is to ask my mother when she will go back to pick her up. She misses her mother very much and wants to be with her. As soon as she heard that voice, she couldn't wait to drive back at once. " The eagerness to miss my daughter while driving also deeply touched me.

"God Beast" sometimes has some unexpected ideas for adults. On the bus that day, Xiao Wang told me that the children's kindergarten was going to organize a story-telling competition, and the teacher prepared a story for her daughter, which she felt was not vivid enough. I quietly prepared a story that I am very familiar with, which is very emotional. After I took office, I had enough time to tell my daughter's two stories separately, which surprised my aunt and classmates in kindergarten. They all say that she is the king of stories. From preparation to stage, the daughter even kept secrets from her parents. When she got home, she told her mother that she was a little proud, and her parents were happy from ear to ear, praising her baby daughter for her independent mind. I went back in Xiao Wang's car the day before yesterday, picked up her baby daughter and said "Hello, uncle". She is very nice and polite. In the car, my daughter proudly told her mother that the kindergarten organized skipping. She jumped 765,438+0 in 30 seconds, which was great. Among the students, 73 people jump the most. After listening to this, I think this child is really something, and he will definitely have a future.

During that time, the story about "God beast" was a topic that many people talked about in class and at home, and we were also deeply influenced and infected by the story of "God beast". A colleague of his wife's company told his wife the story of her son, a "god beast". The child went to work with his wife, and the doorman of the work unit gave the child a branch with mantis eggs (mantis is a beneficial insect in the forest). The child took the branches home, put them in a vase and stared at when the little mantis would hatch every day. The temperature and environment at home, not long after one night, several mantis eggs really hatched into a little mantis, and the child was as surprised and excited as finding an alien animal. Mantis grows and reproduces quickly, and it won't be long before it blooms everywhere. My wife and colleagues quickly put the little mantis and branches in the grass outside the community. Mantis is a famous beneficial insect in agriculture and forestry, and children have always loved it. They also want to look for those lovely mantis in the grass. When he's gone, the mantis will have lived freely in their own world. This story reminds me of our childhood. I used to observe the world with infinite curiosity and innocence.

Another time, my wife came home and showed me the vibrato video taken by the mother of a son of a "god beast" in her unit. During the children's stay at home, they also saw the scene of a busy mother sinking into the community in the WeChat video. The child suddenly had a whim and looked at his beloved dinosaur baby in the living room at home. After he finished, he didn't forget to send a beautiful paste to the dinosaur. He also told the dinosaur, "Don't forget to do it tomorrow, be obedient and pay attention to safety." It really makes people laugh after reading it. The space at home is very small, but many "God Beasts" can still find childlike fun to accompany them from their daily homes, which really relieves the worries of many "God Beasts" parents.

Later, life returned to normal, and people shuttled back and forth on the streets of Jinan, Damei. I noticed that most of them are old and young, taking the "God beast" to breathe the fresh summer air by the Ming Lake, the moat, Baotu Spring and Quancheng Park, and enjoying another beautiful life of "God beast coming out". When the adults were in high spirits, some little "God Beasts" fell asleep on their father's shoulders by the bright spring lake, while others ate and drank while walking with their mother's food in their hands. Some of them are sliding quickly from top to bottom on the slide of Hubei Polar Pavilion in Ming Dynasty. After staying at home for so long, these "beasts" need too much care from outside.

On weekends and Dragon Boat Festival, Zhu Qing, a teacher from Qilu, and her family took their "God beast" daughter to Xiaohuashan, went back to their hometown and put the "God beast" in the natural garden. Children run, frolic and laugh in the boundless sea of flowers and golden wheat waves, and pose various beautiful and lovely postures close to nature for their parents to shoot, record and share. At that moment, they danced with flowers and bees in nature, ran with the warm sun overhead and played with puddles under their feet, becoming the purest, most charming, most energetic, most colorful and vital body language in front of nature. This is the perfect combination of human nature and natural aesthetics. Maybe we've all had such a fleeting time, but you should pay attention to it. It's still around.

One afternoon a few days ago, Ricky and I came back from work together and walked to the wall outside the third district where she lived. The hollyhocks inside and outside the wall are blooming brightly. The baby daughter in the flowers saw her and rushed out of the flowers, screaming and laughing. Just like that, she couldn't wait to jump into her mother's arms from the fence. "Don't run, mom will enter the community soon." Ricky hurried. "The most beautiful thing in the world is the innocence of children. All their innocence is sincere, without carving. They look really good when they laugh. " Qi told me.

"I want to go to distant mountains and rivers, and I want to go to the seaside to see seagulls. No matter how stormy it is, you are enough. I like to look at the corners of your mouth, I like to look at your eyebrows, white clouds are hanging in the blue sky, and I like your smile. You smile really well, like a spring flower, blowing away all your troubles and worries. You smile really well, like summer sunshine. " At that moment, I saw my daughter running in the sunflower. Michael Qi, daughter also smiled like a bell. The blooming hollyhocks in the yard smile in the evening breeze, and the sunset blushes and smiles kindly-they are really touching, brilliant and beautiful.

I want to send this document to those lovely "God Beasts" and their relatives!
