"This is quite suitable for you to play with!" Yang Yi and the others had not only seen many wooden dolls in the shape of animals, but also many wooden toys, such as the Ferris wheel wooden music box that Lan Xin and Xi Xi had found earlier, and a small wooden toy that Murphy had found, called the Ball Knocking Box.
Murphy smiled as if she was presenting a treasure. She beckoned Yang Yi over with Tong Tong in her arms. "Look, there are wooden balls of different sizes and colors. The different holes in the box correspond to different wooden balls. You have to put them in the right place before you can knock them in!"
She even showed Yang Yi how to do it!
Murphy picked up a small blue ball, found the right hole on the board, and put it in. The middle of the hole was wrapped in a circle of rubber and had a strong sense of damping. Obviously, it would be difficult to force it in! Murphy's curved eyes had a charming smile. She raised a well-polished small mallet next to her and knocked the blue ball in little by little, as if she was playing whack-a-mole.
"Plop!" The sound of the ball falling into the wooden box was dull but pleasant to the ears.
Tong Tong's eyes were wide open. He was stunned by his mother's operation in his father's arms!
"Look! It's fun, isn't it? "Murphy proudly gestured with the small mallet in her hand to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi just smiled. Tong Tong enthusiastically stretched out his little hand and asked his mother for the small mallet. He grinned happily and said in a childish voice, "Mom, I want to play …"
At this time, Xixi ran over and tugged at her father's clothes excitedly. "PaPa, come and take a look!"
Yang Yi was a little busy, so he had to let Murphy play with Tong Tong while he followed Xi Xi to see her new discovery.
The little girl found a cartoon puppet of a big-eared monkey. However, it was different from ordinary puppets. Its style was a bit like Meng Qiqi's! It had big ears and claws like a small animal, but its body was upright and anthropomorphic. Moreover, its face was made to look like a child's. It had short eyebrows, big eyes, a small nose, and a cheerful smile. If one only looked at its face, it had a kind of adorable look that made people want to dote on it! (Note: Based on Big Ears Chabu – from Russia.)
If you include its big ears, then this big-eared monkey would be even cuter!
This was because other than its human-like face, its brown fur made it look more like a little doll wearing a one-piece nightgown with big ears!
The combination of the furry doll and the puppet naturally attracted Xixi's attention at once.
"PaPa, look, isn't it super cute?" Xi Xi pulled her father over. Her big watery eyes looked at her father with anticipation as she said excitedly and nervously.
Yang Yi could of course understand. Although the little girl didn't say it directly, her meaning was: PaPa, such a cute big-eared monkey. Let's bring it home, okay?
Lan Xin helped Xi Xi hold the magic rabbit she wanted before, but she didn't want to be left out. She giggled and interrupted, "Xi Xi, Xi Xi, look, there's more! The big-eared monkey is holding an Apple in its hand. I thought it was a real Apple just now, and then I took a look at it, only to find that it was also a piece of wood! It really looks like an Apple, and it's a super beautiful red Apple! Hee hee, hee hee! "
"Really! Wow! "Xi Xi exclaimed.
Yang Yi looked at his daughter, and then looked at Murphy, who was trying all kinds of wooden toys suitable for children with Tong Tong. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Xi Xi, this big-eared monkey is a bit too big. It's not easy to buy it and bring it home!"
Does that mean we can't buy it?
Xi Xi's cute little face suddenly became tangled. She slightly pouted her little mouth, grabbed her father's finger, and shook it back and forth. She muttered, "But … But …"
Xi Xi couldn't think of any reason to persuade her father to buy her this super cute big-eared monkey.
But at this time, Yang Yi smiled, waved his right hand, and said boldly, "But, this time is an exception. Even if it's troublesome to bring it home, we'll find a way to buy it!"
He couldn't help it. After all, he also admired the design of these wooden arts. After all, the whole family showed such a fanatical attitude. Even if he didn't buy it for Xi Xi, Murphy would buy a lot of wooden toys for Tong Tong to play at home. Yang Yi couldn't favor one and discriminate against the other, right?
So, he might as well be willful this time!
"Buy, buy, buy!" Yang Yi said generously, "Xin Er, do you like anything? Pick a few. It's rare for you to come out, so buy some small gifts for your parents! "
Not to mention Lan Xin's reaction, Xi Xi's face was already full of surprise. After she confirmed that her father wasn't lying, her pretty little face bloomed with a sweet smile. She happily held her father's hand and excitedly jumped up. "PaPa, you're so good! Hee hee, I know you're the best PaPa, and you love me the most! "
When was the last time Xi Xi was so happy? Yang Yi looked at the little girl's joyful jumping and couldn't help but laugh softly.
…
Before going to the rehearsal in the stadium, Yang Yi, Murphy, and the three children spent their lunch time in a very unique themed restaurant.
There wasn't much to say about the cakes and drinks in this restaurant, because in terms of taste, Yang Yi could make more delicious baked cakes and make more delicious fruit milk tea.
But the interesting thing about this restaurant was that it had a very beautiful theme. The paint on the walls and floor were either red with white dots on a red background or white with red dots on a white background. The dots of different sizes created a special starry sky feeling! Of course, it was a color that made people's eyes light up with red and white colors!
Not only the decorations on the walls and floor, but the tables and plastic seats were all adorned with a very cute white background and red dots!
In this restaurant, Xi Xi, Tong Tong, and Murphy all showed a strong interest. After all, women tended to like bright and cute colors!
It was necessary to mention the cake here!
Although Lan Xin didn't think it was that delicious, she also thought that the cake was very beautiful! The layer of white cheese on the surface was also decorated with round dots of strawberry juice. It looked like it matched the restaurant's theme.
Of course, the taste was ordinary. After the children were full, they didn't show much interest. Instead, they took out the wooden toys that they had just bought and played with Tong Tong.
Yang Yi and Murphy sat at the side and chatted leisurely. They were resting their legs after walking for the whole morning.
"Do you know what I was thinking when I made my comeback in the past? If I failed again and again and couldn't sing anymore, what would I do? "Murphy asked Yang Yi with a smile.
They really hadn't talked about this topic before.
After all, they were all looking forward to a bright future. Why would they look back and think about their past failures?
"What would you do?" Yang Yi asked curiously, "Go back to America?"
"No, I mean that I slowly started to accept your thoughts during that time period. Guess what I was thinking at that time? Take a guess! "Mo Fei laughed.
"It's not easy to guess, but I don't think you would become a music teacher. I don't think you have the personality to be a music teacher." Yang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said, "I really can't guess. I don't know what else you can do besides singing!"
"I know how to arrange flowers! Don't think that I'm stupid. I don't know anything, okay? "Murphy pouted and said angrily.
"Oh, right. Flower arranging! You're the best at arranging flowers! "Yang Yi laughed.
Murphy nodded her head in satisfaction. She giggled and said, "I won't keep you in suspense. I'll tell you! If I really can't sing anymore, I hope to open a flower arrangement shop next to your coffee shop, not a flower shop! I'm not selling these flowers. I'm making them for everyone to see! Then, the customers can pay for them to make their own flower arrangements. I'll provide them with the raw materials and give them some guidance. "
"That's a good idea. It sounds wonderful!" Yang Yi gave Murphy a thumbs up and praised her.
Actually, Murphy's idea did not have any business sense at all. She had never considered the profits of this shop. She was relying on the customers to make money by making their own DIY arrangements. Not many people would have the time to do this. Most of the boys who wanted to be romantic were only willing to spend money to buy ready-made bouquets!
Moreover, in the material age, intentions were not worth much. No matter how meticulous the DIY was, it would only be a few lonely flowers. It would not be as effective as a big bouquet of red roses.
So, Murphy's idea was not realistic.
But what did it matter? Why would Yang Yi need Murphy to make money? If she wanted to open a flower arrangement shop, she just needed to make some artistic flower arrangements for others to see. Yang Yi would also support her unconditionally!
After receiving Yang Yi's praise, Murphy pursed her lips. Her beautiful eyes were shining with joy. She smiled sweetly and said, "Also, I think that the best thing would be for our two shops to be next to each other. You open a coffee shop, and I'll open a flower arrangement shop! Just like Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu, one opening a bookstore, and the other planting flowers outside. How romantic would that be! "
Yang Yi saw a strong yearning in Murphy's eyes. In fact, Yang Yi understood that Murphy did not yearn for the so-called flower arrangement shop. What she wanted more was Old Master Hu Songnan and his wife's love that lasted for decades …
Back then, when Yang Yi and Murphy were still living in the coffee shop's small building, didn't Murphy, who didn't feel very safe, often pester Yang Yi to tell her the story of Old Master Hu?
Yang Yi reached out and grabbed Murphy's soft hand. He held it gently and said gently, "Believe me, there will be!"
