Entertaining Children

Chapter 2 Different Worlds

The old man and the doctor came out of the ward, and as soon as they turned to the aisle, they saw a young man in a wheelchair standing by the door of the ward. The hand of the nurse behind her was not on the armrest of the wheelchair, it was obviously stopped here. The man had casts on his left hand and right foot, and a bandage on his head. He looked like he had survived a catastrophe. He was the father of the child in the ward and the son of the old man in front of him, Xiao Siqi.

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, and his body seemed to be trembling slightly. He choked up and said, "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 am afraid that the child will ask me for my mother."

The old man put his hand on the man's shoulder, squeezed it lightly, and explained: "It was the truck in front that suddenly changed lanes that caused your car to lose control and hit the guardrail. It was an accident and it was out of your control. Isn't it your fault."

The man said: "I know, but can the child know? He is so young, can he understand? After all, the steering wheel is held in my hands."

The old man thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I think, maybe your son can really understand." Then he said: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I found that Bayi has made a lot of progress. The rationality and logic are quite strong. After going through this kind of thing, although I was very sad, I neither cried nor made a fuss. I didn’t look like a three-year-old child at all, but like a little adult. Compared with the average A child of this age is much more sensible. It seems that you have taught him well."

The man shook his head and smiled wryly: "Dad, don't you know me? Didn't you criticize me for saying that I am still a child and haven't grown up yet, how can I take care of children. I usually accompany him at home besides singing to Bayi It’s just for fun. Zilin has always been in charge of Bayi’s education.”

"Zilin, you are such a good boy, it's a pity..." the old man sighed, "You are really lucky to be able to marry a wife like Zilin. But now it seems that your luck is not very great. what..."

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

Li Hao was left alone in the ward again. Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to look at the ward he was in. Although there are some memories of little friend Bayi in his mind, most of the memories are about the three family members, and it doesn't help Li Hao 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.

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

What makes Li Hao a little strange is that. The found tablet turned out to be a brand he had never seen or heard of. But fortunately, the indicator icons of the switches, volume and other buttons are still the ones Li Hao is familiar with. Press and hold the power button, and the screen of the tablet will light up normally.

"Probably some unknown counterfeit brand, otherwise it wouldn't be so casually thrown in the ward." Li Hao guessed in his heart. But when the boot animation ended, Li Hao found that the operating system of the tablet computer was not Android or Apple's IOS or even Microsoft's Win that he was familiar with in his previous life, and none of the pile of icons on the desktop was familiar to him.

"Did I get a personal DIY tablet from a weird geek, or is this a different world at all?" As a senior online novel reader,

Li Hao can quickly accept the fact that he has traveled through time, so the words "different worlds" and "different planes" are not unfamiliar to him. Based on guesswork, he clicked on an icon that was spherical in shape and looked like a globe, and what popped up was the browser he needed. 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 he didn't know if this world was also called wifi, the segmented fan-shaped logo that made people look particularly friendly indicated that the tablet should have automatically connected to the wireless network.

Sure enough, there is no Baidu and Google, but there are still search engines, and there are pinyin input methods, but not any one that Li Hao knows. This basically confirms that Li Hao is 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 what Li Hao needs to figure out.

After working hard for more than half an hour, Li Hao had a general understanding of the world he was in now. Speaking of it, the early histories of the two worlds were exactly the same, and there was no difference between the dynasties and characters in primitive society and feudal society. The node of difference appeared in modern times, that is, almost a hundred years ago. At that time, it was not Mr. Sun and his group who stood up to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, and the revolution did not take place in the year of 1911. These were done by another group of people at another time. And the history after that became a little different. However, this difference is not particularly large, because although the names of the characters and events are different, the process is similar, from the warlord melee, the anti-Japanese war, the civil war, and the founding of the country. The country is still a Communist Party, and some mistakes were also made in the decades after the founding of the country. After correcting the mistakes, the country also focused its energy on developing the economy. The difference is mostly just names. This situation reminded Li Hao of an American TV series he had seen in his previous life, in which there were two worlds, Earth One and Earth Two, both Earths had good and bad people, heroes, ordinary people, and big villains. It's just that the hero on Earth 1 is just an ordinary person on Earth 2, and the other hero is even a big villain. And among the ordinary people with the largest number, a tough policeman on Earth 1 turned out to be a gentle bar singer on Earth 2. But compared to people, the vast majority of buildings and institutions are still the same, only the owners or creators inside are different. Li Hao's past life and the two different worlds he lives in now have some similarities with this situation. Another point that surprised Xiao Yao is that the technological development of the two worlds is not consistent. It is only 2002 now, but tablet computers have already appeared, which is a full ten years behind the previous life.

The history aspect was cleared up, 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.

It was the old man who left just now who pushed the door and entered, and also the person Li Hao needs to call Grandpa from now on. The old man was carrying a few food boxes in his hands, apparently to deliver food to his grandson.

"Grandpa!" Since Li Hao has accepted the world he lives in and his new identity, it's not too forced to call grandpa.

"Bayi, are you hungry? Come on, grandpa is bringing you something to eat, eat it while it's hot." As he spoke, the old man pushed the movable table top to the top of the hospital bed, and placed boxes of food on the table. go up.

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

"Hey, Bayi's chopsticks have been made quite well. Really good." The old man glanced at the spoon that was ignored by Li Hao in a little surprise, and then looked at Li Hao's way of eating with chopsticks and said happily.

Li Hao is still in a certain period of adaptation to this body. After all, for a thirty-year-old soul to control the body of a three-year-old child, there will always be some discomfort at the beginning, so this makes the chopsticks a little stiff. But for a child who is more than three years old, it is good to eat without an adult chasing and feeding. It is commendable to be able to finish a meal with a spoon by yourself, not to mention eating with chopsticks. Li Hao froze for a moment, recalling in his mind the image of the beautiful mother teaching his former body owner to use chopsticks, so he pretended to take it for granted and said, "Mom taught me."

Hearing the child mention his mother, the happy expression on the old man's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a burst of sadness. Looking at Li Hao who was eating, he asked softly worriedly: "My child, mother has gone to heaven, do you blame your father?"

As soon as the words came out, the old man regretted it. Although the child knows what death is, a child of his age may not be able to understand the car accident, let alone distinguish the responsibilities in it. When he asked such a question, it was likely that it had the opposite effect to his own wishes.

Li Hao recalled the last memory of Yuan Bay's little friend. Although the child still couldn't tell what happened to the car accident, it was after all some of the most impressive scenes during his lifetime, and this memory was preserved completely and clearly. Li Hao saw the whole process of the car accident. The responsibility for the accident should be on the body of the large truck that suddenly slowed down and changed lanes without turning on the turn signal. The titular father in the driver's seat did not make any wrong decisions or actions.

"I know that it was the big truck in front that suddenly changed lanes and didn't turn on the turn signal. At the same time, it seemed to slow down suddenly. Dad's accident happened to avoid the big truck, and it was not his responsibility." Since it was not the name of the old man It is unnecessary for Li Hao to make the old man worry about his father's responsibility, so he replied bluntly.

"This..." The old man who didn't have much hope at first was a little speechless after hearing Li Hao's words. Some eyes looked at Li Hao and asked: "Turn signal? Lane change? Do you know what it means? Your mother also taught you."

"Oops." Li Hao secretly groaned in his heart. How can a three-year-old child know this? But then I thought about it, my thirty-year-old soul pretended to be a three-year-old child, no matter how much I tried to pretend, I couldn't pretend to be perfect. And I don't seem to want to pretend to be a child all the way in the next ten years, it will be too hard. I should also behave a bit more monstrously in order to gain more autonomy in my future life and do what I want to do.

"Well," Li Hao nodded, "At that time, my mother and I were sitting in the back seat. 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. When the car is turning, the light should be flashed to remind the people in the car behind that I am going to turn. The roads separated by lines on the road are called lanes, which are drawn to separate the cars, from one lane to the other. In the other lane, the turn signal should also be turned on. My mother said that I am very smart, and I can understand everything after teaching it once, and I can still remember it.” Anyway, in Li Hao’s memory, Bayi and his mother were in the back seat There were people chatting, but the voice was not loud, and the music was still playing in the car, and the dad who was driving in the front seat couldn't hear what they were saying. Now that his mother passed away, and no one knew what they were talking about, Li Hao simply started making it up.

The old man was speechless, this kid must be too smart. But this is his grandson, the seed of his old Xiao family, the child is smart, he should be happy. Turning to think of his original intention, he said to Li Hao: "Ba Yi, since you understand, then go and comfort your father, okay? He is blaming himself for this now, thinking that he caused your mother to die. , I can't face you anymore."

"Huh?" Li Hao was a little embarrassed. To be honest, Li Hao doesn't know much about his current relatives at all, he just has some fragments of the life of his little friend Bayi, and he really doesn't know how to do this job of comforting people.

Fortunately, the old man went on to say: "However, your father's mood and state are not very good now, let him be quiet for a while today, and I will take you to see him tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay." Li Hao nodded. I also need time to sort out the life fragments in my memory, and think about how to get rid of that temperamental father.
