At the end of December, the weather in Jiang City was a little bad. The temperature dropped sharply, and there was light snow outside. Of course, the snow in Jiang City wasn't heavy or thick enough, but it was enough to cover the mountains and rivers with a layer of white mixed with black.
It was beautiful, but it was not suitable for a family trip, especially for Yang Yi's family. They had a little guy who was only a little more than a year old and was prone to catching a cold. In such cold weather, it was best to stay at home and play.
Originally, Yang Yi did have plans for this weekend!
Although Murphy still had a week of publicity, her results were more stable. She also got the results that others dreamed of but couldn't get. She didn't need to work hard to increase sales, so this weekend, she had two days of rest, which was rare.
Taking advantage of this time when Murphy was at home, Yang Yi originally planned to take Murphy and the children to the northern foot of Ting Mountain to see the wintersweet blooming all over the mountain!
Although the wintersweet was only planted artificially — the government of Jiang City supported the surrounding farmers to plant wintersweet on the sloping hillsides. But after a few years of development, the wintersweet planted on a large scale had become a famous winter beauty in Jiang City. From November to March, almost every weekend, people would drive there to play. The local farmers also made the rural tourism business in full swing.
Coincidentally, this wasn't the key time to plant agricultural products. The farmers' development of the tourism industry also brought a new source of income for their wallets.
However, in such a snowy weather, the plan to go out to play could only be ruined. Yang Yi calculated the time and changed it to next week. Murphy just finished her publicity work for her new album. If the weather was good, he could take Murphy and the children to see the wintersweet.
Of course, this week's activities and the next week's activities would be squeezed together. Originally, Yang Yi had arranged for everyone to go to Tianmu Lake in Yanling to soak in the hot spring next week. Fortunately, the distance between Jiang City and Yanling wasn't too far, especially from Ting Mountain! Yang Yi could take his family to see the wintersweet and then soak in the hot spring.
However, the problem now was that they couldn't go out to play this weekend. What could they do at home?
Moreover, Yang Yi still had to face the disappointed Xi Xi.
The little girl had been waiting for her father to take her out to play this week!
When Yang Yi announced the news in the morning, Xi Xi shook her little butt and shouted, "PaPa, but I still want to see the beautiful little plum blossom!"
"Plans can't keep up with changes! Look outside, it's snowing. If you go out to play, you'll freeze until your face is swollen. Where's the fun in that? " Yang Yi rubbed Xi Xi's head with a smile and said, "Let's go out next week!"
Xi Xi looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. It was still snowing outside. However, through the glass window, Xi Xi could see that Bao Bao, who had come out of the dog door, was jumping excitedly on the snow-stained lawn.
This silly Bao Bao seemed to have never seen snow before. He jumped high and opened his mouth as if he wanted to bite the falling snowflakes. However, Bao Bao's body movements were very good. He didn't fall to the ground like a silly husky. Bao Bao could be seen jumping vigorously, rolling in the air, and landing steadily on the ground. His posture was very cool!
Bao Bao was playing so happily in the snow, which made Xi Xi very envious.
The little girl intertwined her two little fingers and looked sad and wronged. She muttered, "But it's not fun at home …"
Fortunately, Yang Yi was prepared.
"How can it not be fun? Look, what did I prepare? "Yang Yi took out a colorful book and shook it at Xi Xi with a smile.
"I don't want to read anymore! I want to go out and play … "Xi Xi was still muttering. However, out of curiosity, the little girl still moved back from the floor-to-ceiling windows. She looked back three times with each step and rubbed against her father's arms. She reached out and pressed the book in her father's hand to see what was on it.
"CoolScienceExperiments."
Xi Xi could only recognize the word "cool" on the cover.
"This is cool." Xi Xi pointed at the first word and turned to look at her father.
Yang Yi smiled and read the title of the book. He said, "It means, very cool, very interesting scientific experiments. This is a book that tells you to play scientific games."
This book was one of the more interesting children's books that Sahara Publishing House was going to import from the United States. When Lu Benjie reported to Yang Yi, Yang Yi took a fancy to it. Although the imported translation had not been produced yet, Yang Yi still asked Lu Benjie to get him an original English version.
It just so happened that it came in handy today.
"Is it fun?" Xi Xi hesitated for a moment. She looked up at her father and asked with her small mouth pouting.
"Let's try it! Let's call your brother too! "Yang Yi said with a smile.
…
Although Xi Xi was still a little reluctant and still wanted to play outdoors, the curiosity in her heart made her let go of her obsession.
After breakfast, the little girl followed behind her father and watched him prepare the experimental "equipment" in the kitchen.
"This is an egg, this is salt, this is a spoon. We also need a transparent glass. The glass for drinking water is a little too small." Yang Yi got the "equipment" and put it in the small basket in Xi Xi's hand. He let the little girl share part of the work. This way, she would feel more involved.
Xi Xi's thinking speed was still able to keep up with her father's talking speed. Listening to her father's nagging, she blinked and pointed to the glass bottle that her mother used to arrange flowers. She said, "Papa, let's use this!"
Because it was winter, it was not easy for flowers to survive. The batch of flowers that Murphy had arranged before had been disposed of by Yang Yi after they withered. Now, Murphy did not have time to buy new flowers, so this month, the glass bottle used for flower arrangement was temporarily empty.
"Yes, this bottle is neither big nor small. It is just enough for us to use. Moreover, it is transparent. You and your brother can better observe our experiment." Yang Yi smiled and gave Xi Xi a thumbs up. He said, "You're amazing. You helped me find the equipment we need at once!"
Although it was only a small matter, under her father's exaggerated praise, Xi Xi's heart was filled with a beautiful sense of satisfaction. She held the small basket in her two small hands, twisted her small body left and right, and giggled.
The atmosphere of the experiment was getting stronger and stronger. Xi Xi also gradually forgot the unhappiness of not being able to go out to play. When her father finished washing the bottle and filling it with water, she happily followed her father back to the living room.
"You went outside to play in the snow. Look, you got so dirty and stepped on the floor. There are so many black footprints!" Murphy was scolding Bao, who had come back from a wild outside.
It was no wonder that Murphy scolded him. This guy was still wet from the melting snow. On the floor near the door of the house, as Murphy said, there were black footprints like Bao Bao's plum blossoms.
Dogs can sense human emotions. There are documentaries that say that dogs are one of the few animals that can see human emotions from human faces.
Bao Bao at this moment, although he did not understand the words of his mistress, he still knew that he had done something wrong and was being scolded. He was lying on the ground with his head buried between his feet. He did not dare to look at his master.
"It's okay. Let's go wash it." Yang Yi looked at the footprints on the floor and felt a little uncomfortable. He had to put down the experiment.
Xi Xi was responsible for looking after Tong Tong. Murphy took Bao Bao to the bathroom to wash it, and Yang Yi was going to take a mop to clean the black footprints on the floor.
After a lot of tossing, it was almost ten o 'clock. Yang Yi took the children to do the experiment finally ended.
