Chapter 9 Xiaoxi's Bedtime Story(1/2)
Unpack the album, sign it, bag it...
Two thousand souvenirs are piled densely at home.
After signing the last document, Shu Wan's wrist ached, "Done!"
"Thank you, my wife."
"My husband has worked hard too."
So the couple took a sip in front of Zhao Quan. Zhao Quan instantly felt numb all over. There was no need to have dinner tonight!
This dog food is too filling.
Su Chen was still preparing the dinner with great enthusiasm. After dinner, Zhao Quan asked someone to take the souvenirs away from Shu Wan's house and take them to the fan meeting tomorrow.
Zhao Quan also left.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Yagong, the daughter-in-law of Lao Wang next door, hurried back to pick up Wang Doudou.
"Sister Dawan, I really caused trouble to you today, why don't you come to our house for dinner another time?" Xu Yagong thanked her and invited the Shuwan family to her home.
"Okay." Shu Wan readily agreed.
"Then we'll go back." Xu Yagong said, "Hurry up and say goodbye to Uncle Su and Aunt Shuwan."
"Goodbye Uncle Su, Aunt Shuwan. Xiao Xi, come and play at my house tomorrow."
"Hmm." Su Xiaoxi's little head nodded non-stop.
Shu Wan was a little tired after a day of hard work.
Especially the hands.
Su Xiaoxi felt a little sleepy after playing for a day. After taking a shower and drying her hair, she took Su Chen to her room.
"Dad, I want to listen to a story." Su Xiaoxi said, "I can't sleep without listening to dad's stories..."
"Then let me talk about Snow White."
"No...Snow White is tired of hearing it. I want to hear something I haven't heard before."
"I've never heard of it, let dad think about it."
Although it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, there were still many people watching the show in the live broadcast room.
Everyone was stunned when they heard about Snow White.
"What is the story of Snow White?"
"I don't know, I've never heard of it."
“I searched Baidu and couldn’t find it.”
"Maybe it was made up by Daddy Su, or it might be a folk tale..."
"I'm a little curious about what Snow White is talking about."
The audience is discussing Snow White.
Su Chen fell into deep thought.
"Snow White", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Cinderella", "The Frog Prince", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Young King"... and many other familiar fairy tales have been told.
Su Xiaoxi listens to new fairy tales every day.
Su Chen felt that his knowledge reserves were almost drained.
What should I say?
Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind.
"Then let's tell a Pinocchio story today." Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. In order to coax his daughter to sleep, he wished he could travel back to Earth to read some fairy tales.
Well, I hope the system can reward a collection of fairy tales in the future...
Otherwise, it is easy to rack your brains until you are bald.
"What is Pinocchio?" Su Xiaoxi's eyes widened, full of curiosity.
"Pinocchio is a little puppet." Su Chen began to tell the story, "There is an old uncle living in a small town. The old uncle is a skilled carpenter. He has no children and is very lonely..."
"One day he made a cute little puppet and named it Pinocchio."
"When he was alone, he talked to Pinocchio. He said: If only Pinocchio was a real boy, he could be my son."
"A little fairy suddenly appeared at night. She said to the old uncle: Old uncle, because you have made many beautiful and lovely toys to bring laughter to children, I will help you realize your wish."
"Then the little fairy blew fairy air on the puppet Pinocchio, and Pinocchio really came to life."
"The fairy said to Pinocchio: As long as you are honest and brave, you can be like a real child. If you lie, your nose will grow longer."
"The next day Pinocchio saw the circus on his way to school. He completely forgot about school and went to the stage to jump up and down..."
Su Chen told Pinocchio's adventure story, and Su Xiaoxi listened with great interest.
The audience in the live broadcast room is also listening.
"Pinocchio? Is there such a fairy tale?"
"I've never heard of it. It's so imaginative that your nose will grow longer if you lie to others."
"I searched around on the Internet, and it's the same as Snow White. I couldn't find it at all."
"No? Don't tell me this is still a folk tale..."
"Is it possible that Daddy Su made it up himself?"
"Um... this story is as exciting as those written by fairy tale writers. Did Su make it up himself? Not really. Although he is very good at writing songs, writing fairy tales and writing songs are two different things, okay?"
"Where did the story of Pinocchio come from? And Snow White?"
The barrage is dense.
The audience discussed the origins of "Pinocchio" and "Snow White", but they were just wild guesses.
Su Chen didn't know this. He talked about Pinocchio being deceived by a cunning fox and a cat.
Pinocchio was hung on the tree.
The little fairy appeared and asked Pinocchio what was going on.
Pinocchio felt embarrassed that he had been deceived by the fox and the cat, so he lied to the fairy, and his nose really grew longer.
Su Xiaoxi immediately covered her nose when she heard this.
She was fascinated by the story of Pinocchio.
"Dad...will your nose really grow longer if you lie?" Su Xiaoxi looked serious.
"Xiao Xi didn't lie, her nose won't grow longer." Su Chen pinched her daughter's face, "Okay, the story is over, go to sleep."
Su Chen covered her with a quilt.
But Su Xiaoxi felt uneasy in her heart.
"Dad...I can't sleep."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid that my nose will grow longer..." Su Xiaoxi was very scared, "I lied."
"What lie did you tell?" Su Chen asked dotingly.
"Actually, the walnuts didn't crack by themselves today... I smashed them with dad's trophy." Su Xiaoxi said with a serious look of repentance, "Dad, I was wrong, and I will never lie again."
"Well, I saved the walnut kernels for dad to eat."
"Daddy won't spank my little butt, right?"
No wonder this little girl fed me a lot of walnuts. It turned out that she was worried that I would be angry, and Su Chen was amused.
"Why would dad blame Xiao Xi?"
"Really?" Su Xiaoxi looked at Su Chen.
"Um."
"Trojan," Su Xiaoxi kissed Su Chen's face, "then Dad can't blame Doudou...this was all my idea."
"No way." Su Chen couldn't help laughing.
The little guy also knows that he takes responsibility.
"Go to sleep. Our Xiao Xi is a good and honest child. We don't have to worry about our nose getting longer."
"Hehe, then I can sleep peacefully."
So Su Xiaoxi closed her eyes obediently.
The room suddenly became quiet.
But after a while she opened her eyes again and asked: "Dad, why do you know so many fairy tales? These fairy tales are not in books."
This is the first time Su Xiaoxi asked about the origin of fairy tales.
