After digging up many shells and carefully selecting them, Xi Xi would definitely be able to make beautiful pen holders for the three teachers! Just as Xi Xi, her mother, and her father were making pen holders, on the other side of Jiangcheng, Yu Xiaowei, who was only two years older than Xi Xi, was also obediently sitting beside her mother, listening to her read a story to her.
"… Xiao Bu Bu once again sat on top of the tall soy sauce bottle. He was thinking proudly, 'Haha, I was really too timid in the past! Actually, falling from such a high place isn't a big deal. There's no problem at all! On the contrary, this is quite fun. I want to try it again … "
Yu Ying looked at her manuscript and slowly read it out loud.
She had already written a few chapters of the story. Previously, she was still working on it behind closed doors and didn't show it to anyone. However, after a few revisions, Yu Ying gradually gained some confidence in herself. She felt that it was necessary to share it with her daughter and see if she liked it!
Yu Xiaowei was also one of the readers of this story. In the past, Yu Ying had also told this story to Yu Xiaowei. However, at that time, Yu Ying's train of thought was a little messy. The structure of the story was also very scattered. The level of excitement naturally couldn't be compared to the version that had been carefully planned and revised by her!
As a matter of fact, at the brightly lit study table in the bedroom, Yu Ying and her daughter were sitting side by side. Yu Ying was reading according to the manuscript while Yu Xiaowei was also listening attentively.
"… Oh no! Xiao Bu Bu used too much force and couldn't control himself. He actually brought the soy sauce bottle down with him! "
Her mother's voice suddenly made Yu Xiaowei nervous. The little girl pursed her lips and stared with her eyes wide open.
"This time, Xiao Bu Bu knocked into Guo Guo's small bowl together with the soy sauce bottle. The small bowl was knocked out and rolled on the floor. The white rice spilled all over the floor!"
If Xi Xi was listening to the story, she would definitely grab her father's hand and ramble on. However, Yu Xiaowei didn't like to interrupt. She just listened nervously.
Then, Yu Ying talked about how Guo Guo was angry at Xiao Bu Bu for wasting food. She also talked about how every grain of food was hard work. As she read the manuscript, she didn't forget to remind her daughter of the importance of this principle. "Mom works in a restaurant. Many customers don't finish their meals and leave behind a lot of leftover food. It's really wasteful. But we can't learn from them. We have to be like Guo Guo and understand that every grain of rice is hard work."
Yu Xiaowei gently nodded. She hesitated for a moment before saying: "Mother has a hard time earning money."
Yu Ying was stunned. She didn't expect her daughter to be so sensible!
It might be difficult for others to understand her feelings at this moment, but one had to know that it was Saturday. Yu Ying had actually worked all day and only had a little free time at night to accompany her daughter. She even waited for her daughter to fall asleep before continuing to write!
No matter how hard and tiring it was, Yu Ying had endured it all by herself all these years. She had never complained to anyone, but only she herself knew.
But at this moment, when she was talking about how hard it was to farm, her daughter was more concerned about how hard it was to earn money to support the family. Yu Ying's eyes instantly turned red.
No matter how strong she was, she couldn't resist the softness in her heart!
"Thank you, Xiaowei. Mom is very touched. No matter how hard it is, it's worth it!" Yu Ying hugged Yu Xiaowei and pretended to be calm. "Let's continue the story!"
Then, Yu Ying talked about how Xiao Bu Bu and Guo Guo had a conflict. The angry Xiao Bu Bu found a chance to escape from Guo Guo's pocket and began its adventure …
Yu Ying's manuscript only reached the part where Xiao Bu Bu was caught by the rats. However, when she finished reading, it was almost time for Yu Xiaowei to go to bed!
"Xiaowei, what do you think of Mom's story?"
Yu Ying sat by the bed and pulled the blanket over Yu Xiaowei's stomach. The weather was neither hot nor cold, so there was no need to turn on the fan. However, she still needed to cover her stomach with a blanket to prevent her stomach from catching a cold.
Yu Xiaowei looked at her mother and blinked her eyes. She said softly, "It's very good. I like it."
"Oh, that's good. Mom is happy that you like it!" Yu Ying was really elated. Although her daughter didn't talk much, she was very smart and honest. She didn't like to lie. If she said it was good, it meant that it wouldn't be bad!
However, she couldn't be too smug in front of her daughter. Yu Ying took a deep breath and pretended to be serious. "Xiaowei, Mom wants to tell you something very important. That is, you can't be like Xiao Bu Bu. You can't be so willful."
Yu Xiaowei looked at her mother and listened carefully.
"If you have a conflict with Mom, we can slowly resolve it and communicate with each other. You definitely can't be like Xiao Bu Bu and run away from home." As Yu Ying spoke, she was moved. She said with a nasal voice, "If you suddenly disappear, Mom will be very sad."
Yu Xiaowei, who was lying on the bed, had already turned her body. She nodded lightly and hesitated for a moment. She even reached out a small hand from under the blanket and gently grabbed her mother's hand.
…
At Yang Yi's house, while Yu Ying was reading her script with her daughter, the Yang's Handicraft Factory announced the end of the day's work. In fact, the production of the pen holder was only at the beginning. However, it was almost time for Xi Xi to take a bath and go to bed, so it was fine to leave the rest to tomorrow.
After taking a bath, Xi Xi climbed into bed as usual and waited to read with her father before going to bed.
However, Yang Yi had other plans today.
"Xi Xi, look, what gift did Dad bring you?" Yang Yi smiled and shook a small box to show it to Xi Xi.
"Wow! There's a gift! "Xi Xi happily turned over in bed and stood up on the small blanket.
Yang Yi handed the small box to Xi Xi. Xi Xi sat down with it in her arms and placed it on her lap. As she opened it, she asked curiously, "Dad, why do I have a gift? Is this my birthday gift? "
"No, your birthday is one month away. We'll go to Grandpa's house to celebrate your birthday." Yang Yi smiled and said, "Dad suddenly wanted to give you a gift, so there is a gift!"
In fact … Yang Yi just adjusted the electronic components in the Buddha statue and tested it for a few days. After it was done, he wanted to put it on Xi Xi. However, as for why he wanted to give Xi Xi a gift at this time, Yang Yi really didn't have a good reason.
In fact, Xi Xi didn't care. She grabbed the red string and took out the small Buddha statue. She cried in surprise, "Wow! Dad, what is this? It's so beautiful! "
In fact, when Yang Yi took her to the Cold Mountain Temple last time, Xi Xi had seen the Buddha statue, but Xi Xi didn't recognize it now because it was too small! She liked this Buddha statue. On the one hand, it was because Yang Yi's carving was exquisite. On the other hand, it was because the reddish-brown color and natural texture of this wooden lump were really beautiful!
Yang Yi spent some time explaining the function of this Buddha statue pendant to Xi Xi. For example, Yang Yi showed Xi Xi the function of this Buddha pendant.
The little girl had a lot of fun. In the end, Yang Yi persuaded Xi Xi for a long time to understand that this function could only be used when she encountered the situation that Teacher Cai had mentioned in Huijia Primary School, or when she was in danger. Only then did Xi Xi reluctantly put it down.
"If you want to call Dad, you can just use your mobile phone!" Yang Yi smiled and said.
"But I think this is more fun!" Xi Xi pouted her small mouth. She didn't realize that her father was worried about some potential dangers.
"We'll wear this when we get up tomorrow. Now, Dad will tell you a story, and then go to bed early, okay?" Yang Yi said softly.
This situation was also what Yang Yi had expected. Xi Xi didn't have much sense of crisis.
Therefore, he wanted to tell Xi Xi a very famous magic story from his previous life. From the story, he wanted to tell Xi Xi that there were still many unknown dangers in this world. Some strangers might have evil intentions, so she needed to be vigilant at all times.
Of course, the most important thing was to ask Dad for help!
"Okay! I like listening to Dad's stories the most! " Xi Xi, who was looking at the Buddha statue a moment ago, was now full of joy and lying back in bed, looking at her father expectantly.
