"When there were no telephones, everyone wrote letters. Your father used to write letters when he first joined the army, but he didn't write much. Besides, the postman only came to the village once every half a month. Our place is far from the county." During breakfast, Dong Yuee smiled and talked about the past. "I can't read, so I asked Huanhuan to read."
Grandma's story was very interesting. However, Xi Xi, who was eating breakfast, did not pay attention to her grandma. From time to time, the little girl's eyes drifted to the letter that her father put aside. She was expectant, curious, happy, and even a little impatient.
Finally, after breakfast, Xi Xi could read Lu Weisha's letter!
Xi Xi wanted to open the letter herself, and so did Yang Yi. Therefore, he sat next to his daughter and taught her how to open the letter.
However, it was not an easy task.
After Xi Xi tore a small hole in the envelope with her little hand, she panicked and felt as if she had destroyed the letter. She quickly stuffed it back into her father's hand.
"What's wrong? You did well. Continue. "Yang Yi smiled.
The little girl pouted her little mouth and shrank her little hand behind her back. She was unwilling to take the letter and said anxiously, "PaPa, help me! Help me! "
Yang Yi gently tore the envelope and helped his daughter open it.
Taking out the contents, to Yang Yi's surprise, Lu Weisha's letter was not a letter full of words, but a few hard cards.
Among them, three were photos and one was a postcard. There were a few lines of English on the postcard. The handwriting was beautiful and smooth, and it did not look like it was written by a child. It should be written by Lu Weisha's mother.
Looking at the photos first, Yang Yi handed them to Xi Xi, who had been waiting eagerly. Murphy also curiously poked her head over. Now that Tong Tong was in her grandfather's arms, she did not need to accompany her son 24/7.
Two of the three photos were taken with the sea as the background, and one was a close-up. Lu Weisha was swimming in the sea with her mother. She was wearing diving goggles, a breathing tube, and a swimming ring. Lu Weisha was fully equipped and looked very interesting.
The other photo was a distant view. Lu Weisha and a few white boys were building a crooked castle on the beach. Behind them, the white beach and the beautiful blue sea intersected. It was beautiful like a dream.
The photos should be taken by David. This guy was actually quite good at taking photos! Yang Yi, who had learned a lot of photography skills for his daughter, could see that the composition and light adjustment of the photos were extraordinary. These photos were taken with a Polaroid without any post-editing. It could directly reflect the photographer's ability!
Of course, this was only Yang Yi's feeling. Xi Xi paid more attention to the content.
"Wow, Lu Weisha went swimming!" The little girl said enviously.
However, she soon felt that something was wrong. She raised her head and asked, "PaPa, the weather is so cold. Isn't Lu Weisha cold?"
Xi Xi looked at Lu Weisha's one-piece swimsuit. It was thin, revealing her arms and long legs. Thinking about the whistling cold wind outside, the little girl couldn't help but shiver.
Before Yang Yi could speak, Murphy, who was also watching with interest, smiled and said, "No, Lu Weisha is now in Australia. The climate there is the opposite of ours. When we are in winter, they are in summer. When we are in summer, they are in winter. So now we feel that the weather is very cold. But over at Lu Weisha's place, the weather is very hot!"
So that's how it is …
The little girl looked at her mother as if she understood, and her eyes gradually became admiring. "Mom, you are so amazing. You know so much!"
Yang Yi wanted to tell his daughter that this was all common sense. However, when he thought about it, how could Xi Xi know so much common sense? But he could consider letting the little girl start to slowly learn some scientific knowledge!
Now that Yang Yi had been dealing with a lot of things, his mind had become more active. After pondering over the idea of letting Xixi understand science, Yang Yi thought of the children's book author support fund that he had already prepared and was only waiting to announce to everyone after the New Year.
In addition to fairy tales, he could increase the scope of support for popular science books!
There were always some parents who were science students. They understood the principles of science and also knew how to explain it to their children. Only then could they explain it in simple terms and make it fascinating. If he let them create interesting popular science books for their children, it would be easier for the children to accept them!
Thinking a little too far, Yang Yi came back to his senses. Xi Xi was looking at the third photo!
The third photo was interesting. Lu Weisha was in a zoo in Australia. Separated by a cage, she was taking a photo with a big kangaroo with a big chest.
"Mom, I know what this is! This is a kangaroo! "Xi Xi said happily to Murphy.
Yang Yi and Xi Xi had read the animal picture book that the little girl wanted to buy. There were cartoon pictures of kangaroos in it.
The little girl had a deep impression of this animal because her father told her that kangaroos had pockets on their stomachs where they could carry their babies. This was the same as how Murphy sometimes used a baby carrier to carry Tong Tong! (Young babies could also use a baby carrier, but it was in a reclining position.)
"But this kangaroo doesn't have a pocket on its stomach …" Xi Xi hesitated again and wondered if her judgment was wrong.
"Only the mother kangaroo has a pocket. This should be the father kangaroo. The father kangaroo doesn't have a pocket." Yang Yi explained to Xi Xi.
"Is that so?" The little girl said with some regret. She wanted to see what the baby kangaroo looked like in the mother kangaroo's pocket!
However, when she saw the kangaroo, Xi Xi was still very happy! The little girl happily ran to find her grandfather and grandmother to let them see the kangaroo.
"Why does this animal look so scary? It looks like a human. "Dong Yuee had never seen or heard of it before. She said with some surprise and disdain.
"Let me see? What's so scary about it? In the past, when the tigers in the mountains saw this guy who only knows how to put on airs, they would definitely bite him! "Yang Chonggui said indifferently after seeing it.
The little girl suddenly lost interest. She pouted her little mouth and said unhappily, "Don't eat kangaroos. Kangaroos are very cute."
"Xi Xi, Lu Weisha also sent a postcard. Come and take a look." Yang Yi held the postcard with the background of the Great Barrier Reef and said to Xi Xi.
"Okay!" The little girl was happy again when she saw her father. She excitedly jumped into her father's arms.
Fortunately, Yang Yi's strength was great and he caught the heavy little guy.
Xi Xi knew a few words, but when they were strung together, the little girl couldn't understand.
"Lu Weisha said, 'Xi Xi, I had a lot of fun in Australia. We ate lobsters. The seaside is very interesting. I really hope you can come to Australia to play.'" Yang Yi helped his daughter read it and then translated.
Xi Xi had eaten lobsters before. When Yang Yi and Murphy were together on their first anniversary, he took her to eat lobsters in a big hotel. The little girl didn't have any special reaction to this.
"PaPa, I also want to go to Australia to play. I want to play with Lu Weisha, and then I can see mother kangaroo and baby kangaroo." The little girl looked at several photos and postcards over and over again, and said somewhat gloomily.
"Then let's wait until April and then go, okay?" Yang Yi said softly to his daughter, "In April, Papa and Mama will be free. Our family will go to Australia to play for a few days and then come back. When you are on vacation, we will go to Grandpa and Grandma's house together."
"Well, okay!" The little girl got her father's promise and immediately became happy.
