Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the weekend. The date had also crossed into May. And this weekend, the day to send Lu Weisha off had finally arrived. However, there was still a piece of good news. The letter that Xi Xi had sent across the ocean had finally reached Lu Weisha at the last moment after a long journey of nearly half a month!
"At least we didn't miss Xi Xi's letter!" Yang Yi and his family rushed to Lu Weisha's house and prepared to send them to the airport. David pointed at the letter in Lu Weisha's hands and smiled as he told Yang Yi about this very coincidental matter.
They had also received the letter last night. Lu Weisha was happy the whole night because of it, and it had also washed away a lot of the sadness before the departure.
In the car, Yang Yi and David sat in the front row. Murphy sat in the middle row with Tong Tong in her arms. The two girls, Xi Xi and Lu Weisha, sat in the last row. They chattered about Xi Xi's letter.
The photos and other things were fleeting. Lu Weisha was most interested in Xi Xi's handwritten letter.
Like a guessing game, Lu Weisha used Swedish to translate the picture on the letter word by word. Then, Xi Xi would tell her whether it was correct or not.
Lu Weisha beamed with joy and said, "This, this is me and my father climbing a mountain."
"Yes, yes! Yes, the zoo requires us to climb a mountain. It's very tiring! My father and I are going to Yang Cheng to see the zoo, so we don't need to climb a mountain. "Xi Xi also replied happily.
"Is this a kangaroo? I don't know what it means. My father said that this is your father fighting with a kangaroo. " Lu Weisha pointed at a picture of a human face, a cross, and a crooked animal picture and asked.
"It doesn't allow them to fight." David smiled as he turned his head around and said.
"Hehe, no!" Xi Xi waved her hand and smiled at Lu Weisha. "This is … This is …"
Xi Xi realized that she didn't know how to say giraffe in Swedish, so she turned her head to ask her father. After a long while, she struggled to explain that she wanted to buy a giraffe plush toy, but her father didn't give it to her.
"Its neck is very long, very long!" Xixi was still gesturing as she introduced it.
Seeing the two girls chatting enthusiastically in the back of the car, Murphy said to David in English with some regret, "In the year that she has been friends with Lu Weisha, Xi Xi has learned to speak Swedish. Their relationship is very deep. It's a pity that you have to go back to work in Sweden. It will be difficult for the two of them to sit together and talk so happily in the future."
"I think we should also thank Xi Xi. Not only has Xi Xi learned to speak Swedish, but Lu Weisha has also learned to speak Chinese. This is an amazing improvement. Chinese is the most difficult language to learn!" David smiled. "Lu Weisha can have so much fun in China and make so many good friends because of Xi Xi."
"Keep in touch! It's not easy to have a good friend. " Yang Yi smiled and said in English. This way, Murphy could understand and wouldn't isolate her. "Internet communication is very convenient now. When you have time, you can also let them meet through online video. At the same time, you can also practice their foreign language."
"That is indeed necessary!" David nodded.
…
They arrived at Jiangcheng Airport. David and his family had to take a flight to Beijing to transfer to an international flight. However, they had to part eventually. Yang Yi and his family could only send them there.
In the departure lounge, Xi Xi pulled her father's hand. When her father squatted down, she whispered in his ear.
"Why? Do you want to send them off now? "Yang Yi asked with a smile.
Xi Xi nodded.
Yang Yi took off his backpack and placed it on the chair. It was mainly filled with spare items for Tong Tong, such as clean diapers, pacifiers, small quilts, baby straps, and so on.
However, there was a gift box in the compartment of the backpack today. Yang Yi took it out and turned to David with a smile. "When I heard that you were going back to Sweden, Xi Xi and I started to prepare a farewell gift for you. We made all the handicrafts ourselves, but Xi Xi also helped and put in a lot of effort."
Originally, he wanted to give it to Lu Weisha before Lu Weisha boarded the plane. However, he didn't expect that Xi Xi couldn't wait and wanted to give it to her friends as soon as they arrived at the airport.
However, she didn't have a partner!
David looked at Yang Yi in surprise as he took out the gift box and handed it to Xi Xi. He looked up and couldn't help but laugh. "Why did you think of the same thing as me?"
David took out a box from his luggage and handed it to Lu Weisha. "Lu Weisha also said last night that she wanted to give this to Xi Xi. We were hiding it and prepared to take it out when we parted to make Xi Xi happy. We didn't expect you to prepare a gift for her too."
"However, I have to say that this gift for Lu Weisha was not made by us. Yang, I can't compare to your craftsmanship." David laughed.
"In China, we say that the gift is light but the thought is heavy. No matter what kind of gift it is, it's a very precious souvenir for both of them! "Murphy said from the side.
Regardless of the adults, Xi Xi hugged the gift that her father handed to her and gathered together with Lu Weisha. Although the two girls were still looking at each other and giggling, they seemed to have felt that they were about to separate. The two of them squeezed on the same chair and stuck close to each other. It was also a little fun.
"Lu Weisha, daddy and I made this for you. It's a panda made of wood. You'll always remember me, right?" Xi Xi accidentally revealed the gift, but the little girl didn't care about anything else. She looked at her friend eagerly, hoping to get her promise.
"Yes! We'll always be good friends! " Lu Weisha nodded vigorously. She handed the gift over and called out to Xi Xi, "This is also for you. It's very beautiful. I like it very much. You'll definitely like it too."
Xi Xi couldn't wait to open the box and saw a brightly colored little wooden horse inside. The horse was completely red, and only the saddle was made up of white, green, yellow, and blue. It was also the color of the saddle that made the little red horse have a special charm!
"This is our country's most famous Dala Wooden Horse. It's the best gift for children. When I left Sweden, I gave this little horse to Lu Weisha. She likes it very much. Now, she wants to give her favorite toy to Xi Xi. "David explained to Yang Yi and Murphy.
It turned out that this palm-sized little wooden horse was Lu Weisha's favorite toy! And now, she gave it to Xi Xi. This revealed the purest feelings of a child, and Murphy couldn't help but be touched, and her eyes turned red.
Xi Xi and the others weren't as touched as the adults. However, Xi Xi also fell in love with this Dala Wooden Horse at first sight. She happily held it in her arms and exclaimed excitedly to Lu Weisha, "Wow! It's so beautiful! "
"You have to protect it well. I'm giving it to you!" Lu Weisha was actually still a little reluctant, but when she saw Xi Xi's expression, she said with relief.
"Yes, yes!" Xi Xi nodded vigorously. It was unknown if she understood this kind of preciousness.
Then, Lu Weisha also saw the wooden panda that Xi Xi gave her. Although it didn't have bright colors, Lu Weisha still fell in love with this simple and cute panda.
"It's very cute, just like a cat." Lu Weisha also held it and couldn't put it down.
"My PaPa carved the wood, and then I painted it. Look, its eyes are black and big. Hehe … "Xi Xi introduced it to Lu Weisha as if she was asking for credit.
Although she was wrong, and the panda's eyes were not big at all, Lu Weisha still listened with great interest.
The happy time was short, and in the end, they still had to say goodbye. It was time to board the plane. After the two girls hugged, David took Lu Weisha and left.
Xi Xi also gently waved her hand and said goodbye to Lu Weisha. Of course, the little fellow had already started to cry.
But it wasn't that intense, perhaps because the joy just now had diluted the sadness at this moment. She just took her father's hand and clung to her father's leg, and didn't cry.
"Are you okay?" Yang Yi saw that Lu Weisha disappeared from his sight, then squatted down, next to his daughter, and lovingly wiped the tears on the little girl's face, "Do you want daddy to hug you?"
Xi Xi was not like when she was three years old, she didn't want to walk and wanted her father to hug her. Now that the little girl has grown up and likes to walk by herself, her father's hug has become much less. Unless she is tired from walking, otherwise, running around freely on the ground is more interesting than being hugged by her father!
But now, the little girl didn't say a word, pursed her lips, and squeezed into her father's arms. Her head rested on her father's shoulder, showing a strong sense of dependence.
"Do you feel very uncomfortable now?" Yang Yi signaled to Murphy with his eyes, then slowly walked out of the airport with the little girl in his arms.
To Yang Yi's surprise, the little girl's tears gradually stopped. She wiped her tears and just whispered to her father, "PaPa, Lu Weisha and I will always be good friends."
"Yes! You two have promised many times, and daddy is listening! "Yang Yi said with a smile.
"PaPa …" After a while, when they were about to reach the car, Xi Xi opened her mouth again.
"Yes?"
"I like the pony Lu Weisha gave me very much!" The little girl whispered.
"Lu Weisha also likes the panda you gave her very much. You two have each other's precious gifts." Yang Yi said.
"Yes, yes!" Although this conversation was somewhat confusing, the little girl seemed to have recovered some of her spirit.
The sadness will eventually pass …
