At the age of not being able to go out alone, Xia Qiu lay in front of the TV and watched such a drama called "Pawnshop No. 8".

In the play, the male protagonist runs a pawn shop. The pawn shop pawn shop is not only antiques, gold and silver, but also "eyes", "lifetime", "love", and "learning"...

Times have changed, the plot is forgotten, the name is forgotten, and the memory is like a loose ball of gray, which scatters everywhere at a touch.

But that magical pawn shop that can pawn everything has remained clearly in my mind after more than ten years.

When I was a child, Xia Qiu often thought that it would be great if I had such a pawn shop.

I grew up a little and didn't dare to dream so much. I just hoped to have the opportunity to enter the pawn shop and use one or two items of lost quality to exchange for something that is useful.

In the past two or three years, the image of pawnshop has gradually faded.

It’s not that I’m tired of it, I forgot, but I just know this magical pawnshop. The most amazing thing is that it will never appear in reality.

The pawnshop is beautiful, all the same magical things are beautiful, and the reality is a bit bad.

People live in reality.

The thick and high wall of reality turned into a curtain, covering the pawnshop's image and sealing it.

But just as fate always hides in the dark, giving the person who is brave enough to move forward, some accidents and things that are thought to be certainly not coming will always come suddenly.

The image of the pawnshop passed through the high wall, just like Santa Claus in the story climbing into the chimney under the night and putting the gift next to the sleeping child's pillow.

Without any preview, Xia Qiu woke up and opened the Christmas stockings and saw that the magical pawn shop had arrived beside him.

Thinking about it now, the trailer is really not found, but there are probably signs.

Five months ago, Xia Qiu encountered an accident.

He stood on the shore, not knowing whether it was the moonlight or the river water illuminated by the lights in the distance. He suddenly felt a pain behind his back, and his body rushed forward and fell down.

If he falls into the river, he will spread his arms and make a stroke of the water with a single stroke, and wash the heat of summer nights.

But he fell on the pile of gravel below.

I was seriously injured and I liked to be on a five-month holiday.

While lying on the hospital bed, Xia Qiu recalled the scene again and again.

Just like when I was a child, I was at home, and I tossed the only few discs into the VCD. When I got tired of the plot, I stared at the actor. Oh, there was a little mole under the corner of the eyebrows, and the actor had a dead face from beginning to end. When I got tired of watching it, I looked at the set in the drama. The fruit on the coffee table looked delicious, and the car looked very expensive.

This is one of the few entertainment items he has in his movement restriction.

Of course, he also had the idea that he might be able to find the perpetrator.

It was late at night, and the river embankment was very dark, and the street lights were absent. There were some pedestrians at home. They only said that they saw a dark shadow on a bicycle. What clothes were the perpetrator wearing, how old he was, how tall and weight were, and he didn't know after asking.

My mother called and scolded him, blaming him for going out tonight, but her father didn't call, but the surgery and nutritional expenses were given enough.

In addition to being not very moving, Xia Qiu spent two months in the hospital quite leisurely. Later, he said that the person actually weighed five kilograms.

I changed my bed for the rest of the three months. It was not the white and short and narrow plastic bed in the hospital, but the wooden bed of 1.8 meters wide and a four-piece blue flannel set at home. There was also a very large bear doll given by Yiyi by the pillow.

One time I was bored, Xia Qiu turned his head to look at the half-meter-high little bear doll. He thought that the doll looked like a bear, and half-meter-high in the doll was enough to be called a big and big one. So if this doll wanted to be abbreviated, wouldn’t it be called a big and big bear doll?

He told Aunt Yue and Yiyi about this boring idea, and they laughed in a slight way.

Seeing that he was still in a funny mood, the two of them felt much more relieved. He said before that he was in a bad mood, he did not cry late at night, he did not feel depressed, and they both believed only half of them.

The joke of Big and Big Bear finally made up for the last half.

It’s not a big fault for not believing it before. Xia Qiu recalled his personality and suffered such a great disaster without any reason and was absent from the beginning of his senior year. If he had no resentment in his heart, he must have been unfamiliar with you and was polite.

In fact, not only did he not complain, but he also had some vague thanks.

...

“Recovered well.”

The walls were painted white, the desks and bookshelfs were stuffed in the office, wearing a white coat, about forty years old, and strong, not looking like a medical student, but a doctor like a weightlifter or a boxer, held up the examination report and looked at it for a while, and said something was open and closed from his lips.

Yi Yue smiled happily.

She took care of Xia Qiu for five months. She knew how Xia Qiu's body recovered, but she was affirmed by the doctor. Even if this affirmation was useless on the factual level - Xia Qiu's body would not be optimized because of this affirmation, she still felt joy.

"What should I pay attention to next?" After being happy for a while, she became nervous again and cared about her future care.

"What else should I pay attention to? I have recovered. I am a normal person. What else should I pay attention to?" The doctor used his thick fingers to stuff the examination report into the bag.

The bag was very thin, and even Xia Qiu was not sure to stuff the report in one go. He thought, after all, he was a doctor, although he looked thick and bulky, but he was actually more flexible than most people, at least in his hands.

Thinking of this, Xia Qiu smiled in his heart. The phrase "Flexible Hand" has been ruined by netizens. When they mention this, they will definitely smile at each other.

"Thank you, doctor." Yi Yue thanked one after another, unable to help but feel happy.

The doctor saw this kind of scene too often and was too lazy to say politely. He looked at Xia Qiu sitting on the chair with surprise in his eyes.

"In theory, it will take another month to recover, and it will not be so intact for a while." His eyes were burning. It was like a car lover seeing a good car, and a painting lover seeing a good painting.

After a while, the eyes drew experience from the gaze and evolved from the level of a enthusiast to the level of professionalism.

Like a biologist who saw a frog with six legs wanted to cut open the smooth, greasy skin, take a look at its pink muscles and white bones, and study its body functions.

He leaned over to Xia Qiu and looked carefully: "There should be a shallow scar on his face, and there is no more."

He actually observed so carefully!

Xia Qiu was a little nervous. He thought the other party would not pay attention, so the scar did not reach out to touch it and confirmed that it existed. If you look closely, it would be difficult to see it.

If I had known it would not be convenient, I should have put the "scar" back temporarily.

"Is this a good thing?" Yiyue asked nervously. Medicine is an unknown area, and she dared not make any conclusions.

"Of course it's a good thing." The doctor sat back on the chair and sighed. The person in front of him was not a frog, so he could not get rid of the numbness, cut off his stomach and touch the bones.

This sigh was like a hook, releasing Yi Yue's heart.

It was not until the examination was over that, and no bad news was heard from the doctor, that hook let down his heart again.

The atmosphere in the hospital was heavy, and she didn't dare to be too happy. When she walked out and took a taxi that seemed to be smelling smoke forever, she happily rubbed Xia Qiu's head.

"Okay, it's completely fine now!"

"I said it's okay, you have to worry," said Xia Qiu.

I have removed all the "injuries" on my body, how can I be unhealthy!

However, he does not have professional certification, Yiyue believes in doctors with licensed and positions. People always believe in "experience" rather than "truth".

"You are more professional than a doctor, right?" Yi Yue glanced at Xia Qiu and rubbed his head with even more force.

Facing Yi Yue's roughness, Xia Qiu frowned and pretended to be impatient.

Yiyue is a good friend of his mother. When he was a child, his parents were busy with work and he was often thrown to Yiyue for care. When he got older and his parents divorced, his relationship with Yiyue became deeper.

After the divorce, his father wanted to leave his custody.

In the first few years, my father came back during the Chinese New Year and walked through the sound of firecrackers and through the smell of fireworks.

One summer vacation during that period, the school issued a task and chose a book in a catalog to write a review. Xia Qiu chose the book "My Mom is an Elf". When he read it, he thought that Chen Miaomiao's mother in the book was an Elf, and my father was also a firecracker elves!

In recent years, the municipal government has been trying to protect the environment and banned fireworks and firecrackers, and the firecracker elves have disappeared. One time on the phone, Xia Qiu heard someone calling him "Dad". He thought that the firecracker elves had a new family and did not know where they lived.

My mother came to see him every six months, and the time was very accurate, basically April and September. If it weren't for the delay of October 1st, Xia Qiu would almost think that it was not a human, but a robot that performed the visiting program.

The time for each visit is also very fixed. The minimum time is guaranteed for one hour. How much time is longer? It depends on whether she has been doing well recently. If it is not going well, she will have to nag the bad words of the firecracker elf for a long time. If it is right, she will drink tea for an hour and ask Yiyue to talk about the recent trend.

There is much more unluck than unluck. Through her mouth, although Xia Qiu doesn’t have any memories of firecracker elf, he knows him very well. Well, with a prejudice.

When Xia Qiu was lying on the short, thin and clean hospital bed, her mother came once. As soon as she opened her mouth, Xia Qiu knew that she had been very unsatisfied recently. It was difficult to perform in the hospital, so she couldn't speak as much as possible.

Xia Qiu was very confused. After the two had divorced for so long, how could their mother still be obsessed with her father? The things they nagged each time were different. Where can so many materials be said?

In the 363 days that I didn’t come, was my mother like him when she was a child, constantly stuffing discs of their short marriage into the VCD, using her bored eyes and detective-like keenness to discover the details in the disc?

She is probably the number one black fan of the firecracker elf.

Xia Qiu didn’t think the topic of firecracker elves was very interesting, but for the sake of the number one black fan bringing a bunch of gifts every time he brought over, he didn’t mind listening to her nagging.

From these we can see how unreliable this couple is. As far away as these two unreliable guys, Xia Qiu’s life is much more comfortable now.

After the divorce, the couple did the only reliable thing - asking Yiyue to take care of their abandoned son.

Yiyue's husband is a subordinate of his father. The man married Yiyue with some intention of "a best friend close to his boss's wife". After Xia Qiu's parents divorced, the man seemed to have encountered a major political turmoil. He immediately cut off his boss's ex-wife, interrupted his marriage agreement with Yiyue, and stood firmly behind his boss.

Yiyue has a pair of children, her son follows the man and her daughter follows her.

When Xia Qiu was bored, I thought that my parents didn’t even think about it. Is it reliable to throw their son to a woman whose family was broken because of me?

Fortunately, they didn't think about it.

Yi Yue treats Xia Qiu as her own. Every time her daughter argues with Xia Qiu, although she is not biased in helping her, she will find ways to comfort her after Xia Qiu loses.

Xia Qiu is very grateful to her. If it weren't for her meticulous care and teaching, it would be hard to imagine what kind of person she would become.

Maybe they will join a small street group like many children who have no discipline. This is all done, and there is an organization. If they are not bad, they will become lonely people and wander around the streets alone.

The warmth in his heart made him turn his head and look at the closest person in the world.

It seemed that she didn't sleep well last night, and Yi Yue yawned several times in succession. She felt a little embarrassed when she noticed Xia Qiu's gaze.

"What should I eat for lunch today?" She raised the topic to relieve her embarrassment.
