At noon, Tong Tong had already gone to bed. Xi Xi and Lan Xin were still happily sitting on the floor of the room on the third floor, playing the cards that the other children in the village had taught them today. Although there were only two of them, and the two girls were confused and had their own understandings. They played and argued with each other, but the two of them were still very engrossed in playing.
However, Xi Xi suddenly pricked up her ears. She seemed to have heard her father calling her.
"Papa?" Xi Xi curiously turned her head and looked around. Then she stood up and ran to open the door.
There was an air conditioner in the room, so it was cool. Now that she opened the door, she suddenly felt like she was in a different world. The billowing heat outside swept in. Lan Xin, who was following behind, shouted, "Wow! It's so hot! "
However, Xi Xi's intuition was right. Her father was calling them from downstairs. The little girl stuck her little head out and called crisply, "Papa!"
Yang Yi waved to them downstairs, then pointed to the bamboo bed and bamboo chair under the shade of the tree. He had just taken a lot of effort to move them out of the house. He smiled and said, "Xi Xi, Xin Er, come down. This afternoon, we'll rest in the yard under the shade of the tree and feel the cool breeze of nature. Look, there's also a bamboo bed. It's very comfortable!"
Playing with Papa downstairs? Of course!
Xi Xi happily responded and said, "Okay! I'll go down with Xin Er. "
Xi Xi was very supportive, but Lan Xin was not. She summoned her courage and came out to take a look under the heat. She pouted and said reluctantly, "No, I don't want to go down. It's so hot down there!"
"No, there's also shade down there!" Yang Yi laughed and said, "Although it's not as comfortable as the air conditioner, we can experience the cool natural breeze!"
"I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to be so hot! I want to enjoy the air conditioner! " Lan Xin shook her head fiercely. She yelled and ran back to the room, as if she was afraid that Father Yang would come up and arrest her.
Back in the room, Lan Xin felt much more comfortable under the air conditioner as the temperature dropped sharply. The chubby girl narrowed her eyes proudly. 'I don't want to go outside. The sun is so hot, I'll be roasted like a little suckling pig!'
However, Xi Xi wanted to experience the new things that her father had mentioned. She scratched her head awkwardly and asked, "Xin Er, aren't you going down? I want to go down. I haven't slept on the bamboo bed PaPa mentioned yet! "
"Then go! I'm upstairs, sleeping with Mother Mo and Tong Tong! "Lan Xin said nonchalantly.
…
There was no other way. He couldn't persuade Lan Xin who was afraid of the heat. Xi Xi only wanted to come down alone. She didn't let her father's efforts go to waste. Yang Yi spent a lot of effort cleaning the courtyard this morning so that he could sit comfortably under the shade of the trees!
Otherwise, with Yang Yi's "character", it would be better to kill him than to let him be neighbors with those chickens and ducks and smell the faintly discernible stench floating on the ground.
"Come here! Don't stand under the sun! "Yang Yi lay comfortably on the bamboo recliner and waved at Xi Xi with a smile.
Yang Chonggui had asked the craftsmen in the village to help make this bamboo recliner. It was not as small and delicate as the ones sold on the market. There was nothing new about its style, but it was very big and sturdy. With Yang Yi's tall and sturdy body, there was no creaking sound when he slept on it. With his long legs, he could easily rest them on the legs of the bamboo recliner.
When Xixi came over, Steamed Bun, who was resting under the shade of the tree, was overjoyed. He wagged his tail and greeted his little master, then followed behind her. Unfortunately, his little master didn't come to play with him.
"PaPa, it's very hot outside! That's why Xin Er doesn't want to come down. " Under her father's guidance, Xi Xi climbed onto the polished bamboo bed, sat cross-legged, and smiled at her father a little condescendingly.
"That's because she's not lucky!" Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said carelessly, "You just came out from under the sun, so of course you're still tired. After a while, you'll feel cool and refreshed!"
"This bed is very cool!" Xi Xi touched it curiously.
"Xi Xi, come, do this with me." Yang Yi snapped his fingers and smiled at his daughter. He put down the back of the bamboo recliner and stretched comfortably. He hummed and said, "Lie down and close your eyes. Let's use our ears and the skin on your face to quietly feel the cool breeze of nature under the shade of the trees …"
Xi Xi lay down on the bamboo bed obediently. However, the little girl's head was resting on the pillow stuffed with cassia seeds. She turned her body sideways and blinked her big bright eyes. After looking at her father, she continued to imitate her father's posture. Facing the dense shade of the trees, she closed her eyes comfortably.
There were several big trees in the courtyard at home. The one they were resting on now had a history of several decades. The canopy was like an umbrella, forming a gorgeous green curtain! The blazing noon sun couldn't penetrate the layers of leaves. Therefore, Xi Xi closed her eyes and only felt that the light outside her eyelids was very soft, similar to the light inside the house.
After closing her eyes, the world seemed to have become quiet. Xixi felt the gentle breeze that her father had mentioned. Although it was still a little hot at first, when the breeze brushed past her body, the fine hair on the little girl's face was brushed, and her sweat evaporated. A cool and refreshing feeling slowly brewed!
"Do you feel it? The wind of nature is very fresh, very gentle, and very cool. Is it more comfortable than the air conditioner? "Yang Yi asked with a smile.
Xi Xi's long eyelashes trembled, and her big bright eyes opened. She giggled, looked sideways at her father, and said, "I also feel very comfortable! PaPa, why, why don't we have such a comfortable bed at home? Then we can sleep under the tree! "
"In Jiang City?" Yang Yi said with a smile, "If you like, we can get someone to build a bed like this. But the trees in our courtyard are not so big. If you want to enjoy the shade like this, you may have to wait for a few years!"
"Is that so?" Xi Xi blinked with some regret.
"It's okay. Now that we have the opportunity, let's feel it more!" Yang Yi raised his two arms, put them behind his head comfortably, and said softly, "This is also a rare opportunity to be in contact with nature, because many times in the big city, we have to face those air conditioners, machines, and a very busy life. Now, it's very difficult to quietly listen to the sound of the wind and enjoy the coolness of summer without much noise …"
In the midst of her father's emotional long speech, Xi Xi was lying on the bamboo bed. She casually crossed her legs and smiled with her eyes curved. Her small hands were raised high, as if she was catching the breeze, and also as if she was reaching for the tall, dense leaves.
She and her father were here, quietly bathing in the natural breeze, and she was very happy!
However, Xi Xi's little head was not like her father's, who always thought of many comparisons and many complicated emotions. She turned around on the bamboo bed, and then giggled. She turned sideways and called her father, who seemed to be about to fall asleep, "PaPa, PaPa! Do you know what I was thinking just now? "
"What were you thinking?" Yang Yi did not open his eyes. Listening to his daughter's sweet voice, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and asked.
"PaPa, let me tell you! It's such a big tree, I was wondering if there would be a little squirrel jumping around on it? Then it might also be looking at me, waiting for me to sleep, and then come out, not letting me see it! Hee hee! It's too bad … "The little girl said naively.
Yang Yi listened to Xi Xi's imaginative narration. Originally, he wanted to laugh and explain to the little girl that it was impossible for there to be a little squirrel here. However, Yang Yi's heart suddenly moved, because from Xi Xi's description, a very famous cartoon appeared in his mind.
"Xi Xi, PaPa will tell you a very interesting story, okay?" Yang Yi smiled and said softly.
"Okay! Okay! I like PaPa's stories! " Xi Xi responded happily. She turned sideways, opened her big eyes, and looked at her father with joy.
