Xiaodouzi then smiled and asked Zhang Ling to come over and give her a hug.
That is, a family of three hugging each other.
Zhang Ling complied with Xiaodouzi's request without hesitation.
After all, she didn't want to see Xiaodouzi thinking any more.
This harmonious and happy scene made Yan Yuan on the side look very envious.
Si | Xu (for a while, for a while).
Yan Yuan couldn't bear it and reminded:
"Okay, okay, can you calm down a little? There's another person here."
Xiaodouzi looked at Yan Yuan and said:
"Aunt Yan, are you envious?"
Yan Yuan was very much like a big child, imitating Xiaodouzi's baby voice and saying:
"I'm envious, I'm envious, but you can't envy me to death."
Xiaodouzi looked very excited and said:
"Then quickly find an uncle for Xiaodouzi! It's best to give Xiaodouzi a little brother or sister to play with."
Yan Yuan suddenly turned his back to them with a solemn expression and said:
"Forget it, you should continue."
I vaguely seemed to hear Yan Yuan sobbing.
Zhang Ling stood behind Yan Yuan at this time, put a hand on his shoulder and said:
"Are you OK."
"It's okay, it's okay, what can happen to me? I'm fine."
She clearly saw Yan Yuan's hand wiping across her face. She turned around suddenly, her eyes were red, and then a smile appeared on her face and she asked:
"Oh, by the way. Zhang Ling, what does that conversation between you two mean? I didn't understand it at all! Why don't you explain it to me in detail?"
"This..." After explaining this, there was a lot to tell the truth. She declined with a slight embarrassment, "This explanation can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences."
"It's okay, tell me slowly. Like Xiaodouzi, I like to listen to things as stories." Yan Yuan said full of curiosity.
Xiaodouzi, who was placed on the ground by Li Xiang, came to Zhang Ling and tugged on the skirt of her clothes and said:
"Story! I want to hear it, I want to hear it, mom, what story are you going to tell this time?"
At this time, Zhang Ling's cold eyes focused on Li Xiang again and said:
"Before I talk about this, I have to figure something out from him."
"What's the matter?" Li Xiang and Yan Yuan asked in unison.
Obviously, a bit of timid trembling could be heard in Li Xiang's voice.
"Li Xiang, you're not bad! Xiaodouzi seems to like you more now. Tell me. What bad things did you say about me to Xiaodouzi behind my back?"
The alert little Douzi seemed to smell the strong smell of gunpowder.
So he immediately grabbed Zhang Ling's lapel and explained:
"No, no! Mom, don't misunderstand Dad. He always praises Mom here at Xiaodouzi."
Li Xiang also looked in disbelief when he heard what Xiaodouzi said.
"Praise me? Tell me, what are you praising me for?" Zhang Ling didn't want to believe it.
Because Xiaodouzi's attitude of resisting her before was enough to prove everything.
Li thought he must have said something bad about her to cause the child to behave like this.
Xiaodou habitually raised her hand to touch her earlobe and said:
"I remember my father interpreted a poem to Xiaodouzi."
After hearing this, Zhang Ling was very happy and said:
"What poem? Tell me quickly and listen to it."
Xiaodouzi looked very much like a professional poetry reciter on the stage. He said:
"The poem says: The love between parents is the truest in the world. Tears | blood | melt into the bodies of children. They work hard and finally become a child. How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are! I don't know what it means, but my father also interpreted it for Xiaodouzi..."
This poem is about the seventieth birthday of the mother of the last most powerful woman in the Qing Dynasty. She had no time to attend her mother's birthday, so she asked her courtiers to send many birthday gifts to her mother.
At the same time, I wrote a piece of calligraphy in my own hand, framed it and sent it off. This calligraphy was preserved for several generations, and was finally destroyed in that unspeakable period of modern times.
Generally speaking, when you want to recite a poem to praise your mother, you will think of "The Wandering Son's Song".
It is impossible for a child as old as Xiaodouzi to know this "Poem for Mother".
Obviously, Xiaodouzi’s words don’t sound like fabrication at all.
It is very possible that it is like what Li Xiang said to his children.
But what surprised her was that when Li Xiang heard Xiaodouzi's words, there was a bit of worry and consternation on his face, as if the words Xiaodouzi said were not his.
That’s right!
Li Xiang indeed never said anything to Xiaodouzi.
He was worried whether Xiaodouzi had come into contact with some messy books again.
I was shocked that Xiaodouzi could interpret this poem perfectly.
He even added some personal feelings from Xiaodouzi and said:
"Mom, Xiaodouzi knows that your blood is not flowing in his body. But Xiaodouzi still feels that the most sincere feeling in the world is your maternal love for Xiaodouzi..."
No matter who hears these words, they will definitely be moved.
So Zhang Ling's reaction when she saw Li Xiang was a little strange.
But just relying on Xiaodouzi's words, I am willing to believe that Li Xiang praised her in this way.
After listening to Xiaodouzi's words, Zhang Ling smiled happily as if she had eaten honey.
Xiaodouzi originally thought that his operation would earn Li Xiang's praise.
When I saw Li Xiang's inquiring eyes, there was still a bit of displeasure.
She was so frightened that she was like a mouse seeing a cat. She quickly hid behind Zhang Ling and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone:
"Mom, why do you see dad looking at me like that? Xiaodouzi is scared!"
"Don't be afraid, kid, your mother is here." Zhang Ling stroked Xiaodouzi's cheek with one hand, looked at Li Xiang's strange eyes and asked, "Li Xiang, what are you doing! Could it be that those words the kid just said were not yours?"
"
"No...no, that's not right..."
Li Xiang really wanted to answer no.
Denying it would reveal that Xiaodouzi was lying, and at the same time, he didn't think of a better answer than Xiaodouzi.
"I mean...that's bad, it doesn't seem right..."
If he says so, he cannot educate his children openly.
Lying is not a good habit.
Look at Xiaodouzi’s expression without changing his face when he lies.
Obviously, he has become a habitual offender.
This is very dangerous for a child.
He was responsible for himself and Xiaodouzi, so he couldn't admit it.
Zhang Ling looked at Li Xiang's conflicted look and didn't say yes or no for a long time.
He waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you, Li. Your speaking skills are not as good as those of Xiaodouzi."
Xiaodouzi was also worried that Li wanted to expose her for lying.
Because she knew in her heart that Zhang Ling hated people who lied the most.
When he saw Li Xiang being stimulated by Zhang Ling, he was so angry that he was about to tell the truth.
Xiaodouzi didn't dare to delay too much, so he stepped forward and grabbed Li Xiang's finger, and said coquettishly:
"Mom, don't talk about dad like that. He is a heroic dad in Xiaodouzi's mind."
After Li Xiang heard Xiaodouzi say that he was a "hero", most of the anger in his heart was extinguished in an instant.
Instead, he has a more accepting attitude. I want to hear how Xiaodouzi should praise him in front of Zhang Ling?
Seeing that Li Xiang's face was much calmer, Xiaodouzi continued to say with a happy smile:
"If dad hadn't picked up the claw machine yesterday, Xiaodouzi wouldn't have had so many plush toys."
Zhang Ling felt uncomfortable when she saw the child's exaggerated expression.
It was as if I heard Xiaodouzi metaphorically saying that she was too bad at challenging the claw machine!
It took me two or three hours to get a stuffed toy for Xiaodouzi.
Even Xiaodouzi could see that Zhang Ling's face was a bit ugly.
But the joy in her heart made Xiaodouzi completely ignore it.
She continued to say proudly:
"Mom, you don't know that when I gave these toys to all my friends in the courtyard, and saw their happy smiling faces, it was just as my father said, the joy of sharing toys is far greater than having all the toys to one person.
Very happy."
Zhang Ling leaned over and rubbed Xiaodouzi's cheeks with a smile, showing a bit of envy and said:
"I didn't expect that our little Douzi has grown up so much during these days when mom is not with you. It's awesome!"
As she spoke, Zhang Ling looked at Li with grateful eyes and wanted to say:
"My child's father, you have worked hard these days."
"Yes! This is what I should do. There is no such thing as hard work or not." Li Xiang responded with a smile.
At this time, he seemed to have completely forgotten the problem of calculating Xiaodouzi's lies.
But the smart Xiaodou did not think that the crisis was over.
With the excuse of having a secret to tell his father, he got an opportunity to talk quietly behind Zhang Ling and Li Wan's back.
Zhang Ling even envied Xiaodouzi and said:
"It's so sad. Why do you have to tell me something behind your mother's back? It seems that Xiaodouzi likes his father more."
After hearing this, Xiaodouzi did not forget to explain to Zhang Ling:
"No. Mom, don't get me wrong. After Xiaodouzi finishes telling her secrets to her dad, she will also have secrets to tell her mom."
"Okay." Zhang Ling's eyes were full of expectation.
She saw the little guy pull Li Xiang aside mysteriously and whisper.
She promised not to be jealous, but she still couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
You must know that in the past, whenever Xiaodouzi had a secret, she would be the first to tell it to her.
This psychological gap cannot be bridged by just a casual sentence.
Xiaodouzi admitted before Li Xiang could ask:
"Dad, I'm sorry, Xiaodouzi knows that he shouldn't lie."
"Oh, that's good! I actually knew that I had taken the initiative to admit my mistake." Li Xiang said with a bit of surprise in his tone.
In order not to put too much psychological pressure on the sensitive Xiaodouzi.
So he squatted in front of Xiaodouzi like a conversation between friends.
"Xiaodouzi knows that Dad is very angry because of this. But Dad, can you stop being angry first and give Xiaodouzi a chance to explain?"
Xiaodouzi begged Li Xiang like a Buddha.
Li Xiang looked at Xiaodouzi's pious look, and he really couldn't get angry and said:
"Okay, okay, tell me."
Xiaodouzi continued to explain:
"Xiaodouzi can see that there must be some misunderstanding between mom and dad. Seeing how unhappy you are, Xiaodouzi is really worried."
"Worried?" Li Xiang asked doubtfully.
"I'm worried that my father will be unhappy because of this, so he won't want Xiaodouzi. Xiaodouzi doesn't want to lose his parents again."
As he spoke, his little eyes started to sparkle, which made one feel a surge of sadness in his heart.
Seeing that Li Xiang was moved, Xiaodouzi continued to explain:
"When Xiaodouzi saw that his father didn't have a good reason to answer his mother, he decided to tell a little lie to make the relationship between his parents return as close as before. Can you forgive Xiaodouzi, that father?"
Li Xiang choked up in his heart, and then cleared his throat to cover up and said:
"Forget it, I will forgive you this time because Xiaodouzi took the initiative to apologize. But you must remember to never lie to your mother in the future. Do you hear me?"
"Yeah, Xiaodouzi has written it down." The child excitedly hugged Li Xiang's father's neck, kissed his cheek and said, "Dad, you are the best! Xiaodouzi loves you so much."
Zhang Ling on the side responded a little sourly:
"What! Your father is the best. Does Xiaodouzi think that his mother is not good and doesn't want her anymore?"
After listening to Zhang Ling's words, Xiaodouzi turned around with a sense of panic and quickly ran towards her again.
He grabbed one of Zhang Ling's hands, swung it like a swing and said:
"Don't say that. Mom is of course the best mom."
Zhang Ling smiled and knelt down to pinch Xiaodouzi’s little face and said:
"Little slippery man, you really don't want to offend anyone. Who do you think you are like with your temper?"
"Dad!" Xiaodouzi immediately continued, "Dad said that Xiaodouzi looks so much like him. That's why I can become my father's daughter."
Zhang Ling rubbed Xiaodouzi's face with both hands and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay! I just don't know what secret Xiaodouzi wants to tell her mother next?"
The clever Xiaodouzi even deliberately drove Li Xiang away.
She was afraid that what she said to Zhang Ling would be heard by Li Xiang.
He also specifically asked Yan Yuan to help and watch from the sidelines.
The so-called secret Xiaodouzi told Zhang Ling was a lie.
It is said that there is no such thing as father praising mother, but father really misses mother.
The little guy then described to Zhang Ling what he saw about Li Xiang's recent state.
He even relayed some of what Li Xiang said when he was confused to Zhang Ling.
At that time, Li Xiang looked at a locust tree in the orphanage and spoke sadly.
"I took out my heart and tried to erase your name from my heart, but I found that you were not in my heart at all."
At that time, Xiaodouzi only thought it was a little strange!
Ask Li Xiang whose name he wants to erase?
At that time, Li Xiang did not speak, but still said sadly and lyrically:
"Ling'er, did you know that when I tried my best to empty myself, I found that I love you, and it has penetrated deep into my bones..."
Only then did Xiaodouzi learn that his father was thinking about his mother.
When her father suddenly came to his senses, he told her that when he saw Zhang Ling's mother, never say that he was thinking about her.
After Zhang Ling heard Xiaodouzi's message, she looked at Li Xiang who was not far away with tender eyes.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiang was not as heartless as she thought.
"Then Xiaodouzi, why did you tell me this?" Zhang Ling asked Xiaodouzi intentionally.
Xiaodouzi expressed that the reason why he told his mother this secret was that he hoped that his parents would stop having conflicts.
Because Xiaodouzi really hopes that she can have a happy and sweet family of three.
Xiaodouzi's sincere words touched Zhang Ling's heart.
Yes!
Children always hope to live in a complete, happy and sweet family.
This wish is very simple, but also the most difficult.
In life, many parents cannot give their children such a home for various reasons.
For example, Zhang Ling, her first love, Qi Diaozhe, came back, causing her life to become a bit chaotic.
This allowed her to spare less time to play with Xiaodouzi.
When Xiaodouzi expresses the matter according to his own wishes, it ends.
Seeing Zhang Ling's mother looking solemn, she never made any response.
So Xiaodouzi, who lacked self-confidence, couldn't bear the suffering in his heart.
He took the initiative to step forward and grabbed Zhang Ling's hand, shook it again and said:
"Mom, Mom, please say something! Xiaodouzi told a little lie because he just wanted a complete family. Is this idea wrong?"
