"What's wrong?" Yang Yi was a little puzzled.
Murphy gently puffed up her cheeks and stared at him angrily. After a long time, she faintly said, "I'm tired too!"
Yes, as a father, you only know how to test your daughter. You forget that your wife is also carrying a fat son and running around with you!
Especially when she saw that her daughter was able to be comfortably carried down the mountain by her father after the test, Murphy's legs were weak, and she still had to continue to take care of Tong Tong, who was sleeping soundly in her arms in the afternoon. She suddenly felt unbalanced in her heart.
Now that Xi Xi was sitting on the "throne", she seemed to have recovered her spirit. She hugged her father's neck and smiled. She didn't mind watching the fire from the other side of the river.
"Tsk, let me carry you! I have good physical strength! "Yang Yi used his left hand to hold Xi Xi's little butt horizontally and stretched out his right hand to Murphy.
"Okay! It won't be too tiring to go down the mountain. "Murphy said reproachfully and gave Yang Yi a somewhat arrogant look. In fact, Murphy was just complaining. If she really let Yang Yi carry Tong Tong with one hand, she would be reluctant. She was worried that Yang Yi would accidentally drop her son!
… …
On the way down the mountain, Xi Xi was stable in her father's arms, as if she was sitting on a sedan chair. As she recovered her energy, she began to talk more.
"Papa, when are we going to send letters to Lu Weisha, Xin Er, Qiqi, Shiyun, and Nan Zhaoyu?" The little girl was still thinking about this matter.
She had collected the address, and Yang Yi helped her transcribe and translate it with a small notebook.
Perhaps because she saw the kangaroo, Xi Xi remembered that Lu Weisha also sent her a picture of a kangaroo, so she was looking forward to sending letters to her friends as soon as possible.
"Send letters? Not so soon. We've only been in Australia for two days. The day after tomorrow, we're going to take a big boat out to sea. There are beautiful coral reefs, and we might even see whales! Don't you want to take a few more beautiful photos and send them to Lu Weisha and the others? "Yang Yi asked with a smile.
The camera that Yang Yi brought over, although it was only a SLR camera, it was very convenient to print out photos from a SLR camera in this day and age. It could be done in a few minutes at any photo studio. Moreover, the pixels were clearer than a Polaroid, so he didn't have to worry about his daughter not having any photos when she mailed it.
What Dad said made sense … Xi Xi thought for a moment and nodded.
…
At the mention of Lu Weisha, Yang Yi and Xi Xi did not expect that Lu Weisha was not in China at the moment.
Taking advantage of the holiday, David's family went back to Sweden. And this time, David unexpectedly received the news that he had been looking forward to for more than a month.
In their house, David, who had just returned from the head office, held a symbolic internal company letter and proudly read it in front of his wife, "… In view of your excellent performance in the past two years in the China branch, we have decided to appoint you as the senior vice president of the market strategy research department of the group …"
Yes, last time when Yang Yi helped Xi Xi invite Lu Weisha to dance with her, only her mother brought Lu Weisha along. David was busy applying to the head office for this vacant position!
The competition was fierce, but after a long selection process, David succeeded!
"David! Does this mean that we can come back to Sweden? "Maria asked excitedly.
"Yes! Maria, we can stay in our hometown and work! "David laughed.
But he purposely frowned and said, "No, no, I still need to go back to China because I still have to hand over the work to my successor. But it's okay, we can reunite at home next month, or at the latest next month!"
Although David had worked in China for two years and had some feelings in Jiangcheng, Sweden was their hometown after all. He did not want to spend too much time with his wife, his family, and his friends of many years!
"You scared me!" Maria was stunned for a moment. She cried and laughed as she threw herself into David's arms.
Maria was crying tears of joy, and so was David. He hugged Maria and his heart was filled with emotions.
"It's a pity that I have just adapted to life in China and have just made some new friends." Maria calmed down and thought of her life in China for more than half a year. She said with some regret.
"It's okay, it's okay." David comforted the sentimental woman.
Maria suddenly thought of her daughter who was playing at her grandparents' house. "David, we still have to tell Lu Weisha about this. She likes her classmates in China very much … This news, I don't know how sad she will be? Last year when she went to China from Sweden, she cried for a long time. "
…
How would Yang Yi and the rest know about the changes in Lu Weisha's house? Now, Yang Yi was carrying Xi Xi down the mountain as if he was carrying a koala.
After resting comfortably in her father's arms for a while, the little girl regained some of her energy. She could not sit still and began to poke her head out again, wanting to tease Tong Tong who was in her mother's arms. Unfortunately, Tong Tong was sleeping soundly!
"Xi Xi, have you rested enough?" Murphy looked over with a faint smile and asked her daughter maliciously.
Xi Xi was very smart this time. She seemed to have noticed something and quickly hid in her father's arms so that her mother could not see her. Then, she giggled and said, "No, I haven't!"
"You sly little girl!" Murphy was amused by her.
It was just a small hill, not very high, and it was easier to go down the mountain. They were about to walk down. As Yang Yi walked, he seemed to casually mention the bag of plush toys. "Xi Xi, are you tired carrying this bag today?"
Xi Xi thought that her father was concerned about her. She pouted and said, "Ah, it's so tiring! Papa, you didn't even help me carry it. "
"Look, we're back to this souvenir shop." Yang Yi pointed at the shop they were about to pass by and said, "Say, if you weren't in a hurry to buy it at that time, you could have bought it back after we came back from the mountain. For example, if you bought it now, you wouldn't have had to carry it so tiring, right?"
This logic was very simple, but Xi Xi did not think so far ahead before. Now that her father said it, the little girl's thoughts were suddenly opened. She was suddenly enlightened, but also stunned.
That's right! Why not go down the mountain and buy it?
When they reached the foot of the mountain, they didn't need to carry Xi Xi anymore. Yang Yi let Xi Xi slowly think about this problem by herself. He took the stroller stored in the storage room at the entrance of the zoo to reduce Murphy's burden.
"Honey, you've worked hard! I'll give you a massage when we go back! "Yang Yi smiled and rubbed Murphy's shoulders.
"Hum, you're such a sweet talker!" Murphy was happy in her heart, but her mouth was unforgiving.
On the ferry back to the opposite shore, Yang Yi and Xixi sat side by side on the empty bench. Bathing in the afterglow of the golden autumn sunset in the southern hemisphere, Yang Yi began to talk to Xixi about the principles of the world.
"Do you understand? Papa's suggestion to let you go down the mountain and buy it is the most effective and labor-saving way, right? "Yang Yi asked with a smile.
Xi Xi nodded obediently and said, "Mm."
"That's why, sometimes, when you really want something, don't be in a hurry and listen to Papa's opinion." Yang Yi hung his arm on the back of the chair and sat comfortably. "Sometimes, Papa will tell you that we can't buy it yet. That means Papa has a reason not to buy it for you."
Xi Xi turned her head and looked at her father in a daze.
"Sometimes, it might be because it's not the right time for us to buy it. Just like when you wanted to buy Quokka before going up the mountain, Papa hopes to buy it for you at a more suitable time. It will definitely be good for you and there's no harm in it, right?"
"Of course, it could also be because of other reasons. Either we can't bring it back with us, or it would be a waste if we buy it, or Papa doesn't want you to have something and Papa can't buy it for you. What should you do at that time?" Yang Yi turned his head and looked at Xi Xi as he asked gently.
"What should I do?" The little girl's mouth was slightly open as she asked in confusion.
"You should listen to Papa and don't stubbornly hold on to what you want. You have to believe in Papa. Papa is doing this for your own good. If Papa can give it to you, Papa will definitely give it to you. "Yang Yi gently patted Xi Xi's little head with his big hand and said with a smile," Don't you think so? "
"Mm …" The little girl took the opportunity to lean her head on her father's chest. He didn't know if it was because she was tired or because the slightly swaying ferry was like a cradle that lulled people to sleep. At this time, the little girl was as docile as a little koala.
Yang Yi put his big hand on his daughter's little shoulder and didn't say anything else. If Xi Xi could understand, it was just right to stop now. If she didn't understand, there would be plenty of opportunities to continue teaching her in the future.
