Chapter 84:

Although Jiaan knew that he was no longer a three or four-year-old child, he still had a little secret that he dared not tell his parents, that was he was afraid of the dark.
Ordinary children are afraid of the dark and understandable.
But blind children are afraid of the dark and will be laughed at when they say it.
When Jia'an and his parents went to see the doctor, they secretly heard of other children, because vision problems are always prone to stumbling and stumbling.
Parents impatiently blamed them for not worrying, and when they went to see the doctor in line, they would say something like a little blind man, don’t run around.
Although Jia'an's parents have never accused the child's eyes of how much burden and trouble it brought to the family.
But Jia'an is very sensible, knowing that little blind man is not a good word.
If you want to become a likable little blind man, you can't run around, you can't wrestle, you can't be afraid of the dark, you can't always pester your parents.
Before moving to the Kyushu community, pretending to sleep for a short while every night was the peak stage that Jiaan feared.
During the day, Jia'an's parents must pay attention to their children in everything they do. They can only do other things at night.
Therefore, if other children go to bed at 9:30 in the evening, Jia'an may go to bed at 8:30 or 9:00, a certain amount of time in advance.
Because the child goes to bed obediently every time, lying down and falling asleep, the parents really don't know that Jia'an will think about stories in a "pretending to sleep" stage to suppress his fear.
He can barely be sensitive, so he can judge day and night.
Every night before going to bed, this period of darkness and no sound will make Jia'an secretly shrink into a ball in the quilt.
For a while, I was worried that a monster would stand by the bed and stare at me. For a while, I was worried about whether my eyesight had deteriorated. I couldn't even tell the light, and mistakenly regarded the day as night.
Jia'an is a sensitive, thoughtful and imaginative child, and it is very tiring to give herself a "story hypnosis" every night.
After moving to the Kyushu community, there is no need to stay in bed during the "pretending to be asleep" stage. You can sneak up to the window to play with the cat.
Huatang's round cat, fluffy, warm, hidden in the dark, is a little flying cat that appeared specially for him.
After being almost caught by her mother, Jia'an was so shocked that her heart was pounding, but after being frightened, she was a little excited.
Because in the darkness without turning on the light, the secret belongs to him and the cat only, and even a mother with sound vision cannot easily discover it.
On the contrary, because he was even less accustomed to the darkness, he would hesitate to do anything, and gave Jiaan a chance to get back into the bed and Huatang squeezed out the small window.
"mom."
"Huh? Does Jiaan want to drink water?"
"No water, good night mom."
Covering the little quilt by herself, Jia'an rarely resists the insensitive darkness, and no longer reluctantly finds where her mother is. He lay down obediently and said good night.
The Jiuzhou community is very close to the hospital, so I don’t have to be up until dawn, so I picked up Jia’an and took him to the car to line up.
There are too many visits to the doctor. Jia'an has become accustomed to the environment and taste of the hospital. After obediently cooperating, the good-sounding uncle doctor stuffed a candy in his hand and returned to the community.
Although the test result did not improve particularly well, it did not deteriorate, which is also very good.
When Jia'an's mother came back, she relaxed a little, put Jia'an down and walked slowly with his hand.
Except at home or a few familiar places, Jia'an's parents are not too relieved to let their children go. It is not spoiling, but the blind roads in public places in China are easily damaged or occupied.
Jia'an is young and more likely to get injured. It's okay to fall, but it would be bad if he was hit by a car.
Therefore, parents can always pick him up outside, so they can pick him up and walk.
Now back to the community, such a short stretch of road was flat, Jia'an's mother put Jia'an down and took him by the hand.
It's quite happy to be able to walk on his own. Jia'an walks slowly, but like ordinary children, he has to jump in two steps, and looks happy.
"Mom, who was that uncle just now?"
"It's the uncle security guard in the guard room, we can come in with the card that goes in and out."
"Mom, I heard the sound of a car starting~"
"Well, a car came in from outside the community just now, shall we stand aside?"
Nodding again and again, Jia An touched her mother's wrist and stood "aside". After hitting her mother's leg, she reacted and went to the opposite direction for a stop.
It's easy to lose your sense of orientation if you don't see it, but when your mother is by her side, Jia'an's reference point.
The mother and the son walked very slowly. After Huatang, who was sitting in the melon box, passed by, he turned back and started to circle around the Jiaan mother and son.
The starting sound of the melon box is relatively small, but I can still hear the heavier mechanical starting sound. Jia'an has never heard this before. He waited for a while with his ears sideways, and then whispered to her mother, what sound is this!
Seeing the black cat again, Jia'an's mother was also very surprised. She stared at the moving "watermelon car" and looked around, thinking it was a toy car controlled by the cat owner, and she took the cat for a ride.
"Did you just move here?"
It may be that Jia'an's mother's expression is too easy to understand. A passing grandma stopped and talked to her with a smile.
"Hello Auntie, yes, we moved here last week."
My mother is called auntie, so I should be grandma, Jia An whispered to the sound source, grandma hello, and silently reached out and hugged her mother's leg.
Not everyone can treat blind children equally. When some adults see Jia'an, it is easy to yell and wonder why the child does not open his eyes. He is a little blind.
Where Jia'an used to live, there was a grandpa who often walked around and always called him a little blind. He heard that Jia'an was in a bad mood and was a little afraid of him.
"Hey, it's very polite." The passing grandma was cheerful, seeing Jia'an's tone unchanged, she opened her cloth pocket and asked Jia'an's mother to take two apricots she had just bought.
Jia'an's mother was actually a bit at a loss when she was called to stop, but now she was asked to take apricots again, which was so embarrassing.
But the auntie was enthusiastic and pulled her to speak, and Jia'an's mother was not easy to refuse.
"The community is well managed. Children can go out and walk around. This cat is called Huatang. He is also a member of the community. As long as he doesn't scratch his tail and hurts the cat, he likes playing with children."
Seeing Huatang spinning around the mother and son, the aunt stopped talking to Jia'an's mother.
Xiao Jiaan's abnormality is quite obvious, but the children always like to have fun. Seeing that Huatang is willing to take the children to play, the aunt will help the black cat endorse and explain to Jiaan's mother.
Jia'an’s mother was actually very impressed with the black cat rubbing her paws on the bedsheets and then giving high-fives to her children last time. I didn’t expect this cat to have a good relationship in the community because the black cat went around twice. , So let the auntie give away two rhubarb apricots for free.
"Huatang?"
Jiaan heard the strange grandmother say that the cat's name was Huatang, so she couldn't help but poked her head out, wanting to confirm.
Is Huatang the cat who came to play with him at night?
"Yes, it's Huatang,
There is just one cat running around in the community, whose name is Huatang, try to shout? "
Grandma's voice was very gentle. When she was talking to Jia'an, she couldn't hear any urging, so Xiao Jia'an could smell the sweet scent of rhubarb and apricots, moved her face away from her mother's trousers, and learned to call Huatang.
Hearing Jia'an yelling to himself, the melon box braked around.
Huatang jumped down and squatted next to the mother and son, and then pushed Jia'an's hand with her paw. What's the matter with looking for the evil cat?
I have confirmed that the fluffy is the little flying cat at night, originally called Huatang!
Jia An was pleasantly surprised, and squatted down skillfully, groping towards Huatang's position.
Then in the next second, a hairy "mangosteen" was placed on the palm of the palm, and the two little ones proficiently began to play the game of "whose claw is on it".
The grandma who gave Huang Xing a smile waved her hand and went home to cook. Liu Jia'an's mother twitched her mouth, betting she didn't feel wrong yesterday.
That fluffy is definitely a cat, not her illusion.
His son's actions completely exposed his secretly playing with Huatang.
However, Jiaan’s mother rarely saw her son so happy. Moreover, when she was outside for the first time, Jiaan completely let go of her and squatted to play with the black cat.
Jia'an's mother is going to wait, wait for the child to play for a while before taking him back.
But the plan is not as fast as the change. The melon box is too conspicuous. When it is placed here, many children will see it soon.
As a vicious cat with a physique of "100% attractive to human cubs", Huatang's appearance is bound to cause a storm. Before Jia'an's mother took Jia'an away, she saw her son and black cat surrounded by several children. Living.
One person and one cat can only play "whose claw is on it", but six or seven children and a cat can play the "palm back game".
The eldest of this group of children is Song Xuan, especially the fan of the eldest brother, who counts a total of eight, and then begins to announce the rules of the game, "We will come out with Huatang, either on the palms of the hands or the back of the hands. Then see who is with Huatang, even if you win."
To play games together, you don’t need to know each other’s names, just make sure that you know how to play.
This game is extremely simple, that is, put the palm of the hand behind the back or the back of the hand, and see when there are only three children who are the same as Huatang.
It was the first time that Jiaan was regarded as a "playmate" by other children. He was crowded together, novel and a little scared, sweating on his forehead, and he clenched Huatang's small paws.
"I, my name is Jia'an, but I can't see it."
"Huh? It doesn't matter, you are next to me, my name is Song Xuan, and I will tell you what happened to others."
Even cats can play together, and it’s not a big deal for the little ones to not see.
The children in the Kyushu community may have been patience cultivated by the "cub fishing" game since childhood, and they are particularly tolerant of this group game.
If the number of people is not enough, sometimes they will secretly come out of the house with potted flowers and make up the number by turning the surface where the flowerpot stops.
"Come on, one two three, palms and backs of hands—"
Walking forward, Jiaan hurriedly took out the palms of his hands, and then heard Song Xuan as the referee start counting, "No, there are six backs of hands, only the palms of Huatang and Jiaan, come again."
Come again, Jia'an will play this time, and after Song Xuan is ready to start, he hurriedly stretched out his hand.
"One, two, three, four, five, huh? Wait, Huatang can't secretly change, Laipi!"
Huatang is righteous, how can the evil cat secretly flipping its claws?
She changes.
