A loving wife and a young daughter, they are proud of themselves and infinitely satisfied. Especially, for the first time, I have the upper hand in front of others not because of force or money... but because of my children.
How do you say it in the most popular words at the moment?
Soft power!
Yes, this is cultural soft power.
Children are the greatest soft power of a family.
The child was sitting in the passenger seat, his little head twitching: "Dad, why is that person my mother's friend? Why didn't I know that before? Besides, that person doesn't seem to be very friendly with her mother."
"That's my mother's friend from a long time ago. We haven't had much contact with each other, so you don't know."
The child turned around and asked Qiao Xiaomai: "Sister Mai, is that so?"
Qiao Xiaomai smiled bitterly.
"Sister Mai, don't you have a good relationship with that friend? Why don't you seem to be close at all?"
Yi Xiangxi answered for her: "They were friends many years ago. We were good friends back then, but we became estranged after not seeing each other for a long time. We are no longer friends."
"Why were we friends then, but not friends now?"
Yi Xiangxi said seriously: "People will change, and there are friends at every stage. Think about it, are the friends you were good with when you were in kindergarten no longer in contact? Then, when you were in elementary school, you have new friends.
Even friends in first grade and third grade are a little different, right?”
The child nodded immediately: "Yes, I was best friends with Li Mingliang when I was in kindergarten, but now I am best friends with Lin Jiaming. Lin Jiaming is not my classmate in kindergarten."
"Isn't this right? The same is true for adults. As time goes by, there will be changes at each stage. When you grow up, you will understand that when you go to middle school, college, and after graduation, your circle of friends will change again and again.
Go on. In life, except for a very small number of one or two friends, everything else will change."
The child seemed to be thinking about the meaning of this sentence - why except for a very few friends or two in life, other people will change?
Qiao Xiaomai was also silent, what he said actually made sense. Growing up, he had had an endless stream of female classmates who were close to him, but now, in the midst of the storm, only one Zhu Zhu was left to come and go frequently.
"I understand. Mom's best friend used to be Uncle Jiang, so who is mom's best friend now?"
Yi Xiangxi said without hesitation: "Of course it's dad."
Qiao Maimai was simply speechless.
Yi Xiangxi whistled and was surprisingly proud: "Haha, Xiaobai, you have made dad proud today. Look at that naughty kid, how annoying he is, and he is still rolling on the ground. He is not afraid of embarrassment. Haha,
I am still smart, cute and polite."
Xiaobai said seriously: "Our teacher said that children who behave in a bad way are naughty children."
"Yes, the naughty kid has no future when he grows up. I heard that the naughty kid failed the test and bullied his sisters at home every day. In the final exam last semester, his math score was only 58, hahaha..."
The children listened with great interest, but Qiao Xiaomai was really shocked.
58 points!
He actually knew that someone else's child scored 58 points in the exam! Yi Xiangxi, Yi Xiangxi, this person! She didn't know whether to be grateful that she was no longer his enemy or what!
