When I was ten years old, my parents' ages were roughly my current age.
I remember very clearly that one day my father came back from working in the fields. As soon as he entered the door, he pulled out a chair and sat in a well-lit area in front of the hall - his posture seemed to be that he had something important to study. one time.
The sun was shining brightly that day, and it was the time of summer planting. I finished school at noon and happened to be at home. At this time of year, parents are very busy.
Sure enough, my father called me: "Third brother, take a needle and help me pick out this thorn!"
It turned out that my father's sole was pricked by a thorn again! Probably when he was going to work, he stepped on a plant with thorns and broke it inside the sole of his foot.
In this case, a minor surgery is necessary to remove the tiny thorn. The name of this operation is "Trick Picking".
I have helped my father and mother with this matter of "picking thorns" more than once. From not being good at it to being quite expert. Because my grandma once taught me - don't dig out the meat with a needle. When you see the thorns, just pull them on both sides and the thorns will come out.
Later, I followed my grandma’s instructions and performed this kind of surgery, and it was a great success.
My original method was to dig with a needle, like digging a sweet potato, and dig a big hole before taking out the sweet potato - when the operation was completed, the blood also flowed out. My grandma's surgery method is non-bleeding.
Actually, my parents asked me to have this surgery not because of my skill in surgery, but because their eyes were not used enough.
At this age, their eyesight decreases and their vision becomes blurry. The thorn inserted into the flesh of their feet was hard to see clearly. If you can't see clearly, you won't be able to perform surgery on your own.
I tend to be happy to carry out my dad's orders and requests. The reason is that I am very confident in my vision. Furthermore, I also wanted to show off my vision and surgical skills in front of my father. What I want to show him is that this kind of thing is not a problem, I can see it at a glance, and I can take out the thorns in a few or two.
When I finished all this, I was still very puzzled about my parents' eyesight. Why? There is obviously enough light, everything is clear to the ears and eyes. Easy to see clearly and easy to take out.
- This was probably when I was ten years old.
Now I have reached the age of my father.
There is one thing that I have to use time and life to verify - I understand my father's vision back then.
Now my finger hurts a little. I looked at it and found a small black spot. I couldn’t see what it was.
——I repaired the diesel engine just now. I wonder if iron filings were inserted into it. Probably.
I took a needle and a piece of alcohol cotton, sterilized the needle and fingers, and prepared to operate on myself.
My current situation is not as good as my father's. I was the third eldest brother in my family. At that time, my eldest brother and my second brother were both in junior high school, living on campus and not at home. I am in elementary school and still at home.
Therefore, at that time, my father could take a chair, sit down, and give instructions to me, his third son.
I performed this small operation on my father. It is simple, easy, and one step, and he can rejuvenate his body wonderfully.
Now, I have no children, so I can't just give an order and get things done like my father did.
- This is something that is difficult to do within the scope of your own vision.
I held the sewing needle in my right hand and picked at the black spot on my finger. Dial. When you turn it, you feel a little stinging. So I judged that a tiny piece of iron filings should have been inserted here.
But I can’t see it when I look at it with my naked eyes. You can't even see it with your eyes wide open. You can't see it even if you open the window. You can't see it even if you get close. I couldn't see even after doing eye-care exercises...
——It's over, my eyesight has shrunk to the level of my father's. The boy with clear ears and eyes no longer exists! That's how cruel things are.
I picked out the iron filings by touch.
