"Take daddy's hand and walk forward slowly. Don't open your eyes yet."
Zhang Zhong led Pengpeng and slowly walked towards her room. The little girl closed her eyes tightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Because he couldn't see the road with his eyes closed, Pengpeng was extremely nervous, holding Zhang Zhong's arm tightly and slowly moving forward.
Although she was scared, Zhang Zhong asked her not to open her eyes, and she never did.
After Zhang Zhong took her into the room, he smiled and said, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."
After listening to her father's words, Pengpeng opened her eyes, then her eyes widened, and she rubbed her eyes vigorously with her little hands.
She recognized her bed, but that little house...and those dolls...
"Pengpeng, do you like the gift dad gave you?"
"like!"
Only then did Pengpeng react and ran towards the cabin.
"Don't worry, be careful of falling!" Zhang Zhong stretched out his hand, but failed to catch Peng Peng.
Although Peng Peng's legs are short, this happens very quickly. In the blink of an eye, he throws himself on the bed, then lies on the bed and looks here and touches there.
"Dad, did you move the elf's house there?"
Pengpeng looked at the branch patterns drawn on the wooden roof and asked Zhang Zhong innocently.
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "Well, the elf said that Pengpeng is a good boy and very obedient, so he gave you a small house."
"Then why doesn't the elf stay and play with me?"
"Because the elves also want to go home."
"Yes, the elves are going to have dinner at this time."
This wooden hut has an upper floor, which can be used to store miscellaneous items and serve as a small bed. There is also a small ladder next to it. Pengpeng took off her shoes and climbed up the ladder.
After climbing to the second floor, he held onto the railing and looked at Zhang Zhong below, "Dad, Dad, I'm taller than you."
When she turned around again, she saw a row of dolls sitting next to the crib.
"Little Bear, Bunny, Wow, and Maomao, two Maomao."
In Zhang Zhong's eyes, this cabin was only taller than him, but to Peng Peng, it was a mysterious world, and this mysterious world would belong to her from now on.
When Zhang Zhong came over to coax her to sleep, she always said that the house was too big and she was a little scared to sleep alone. She thought that after having this small wooden house, she was no longer afraid.
Zhang Zhong remembered that when he was a child, there was a bamboo forest next to his house. In the bamboo forest, he made a small nest out of bamboos, which could only accommodate a child of seven or eight years old at most.
In the past, when nothing happened, he liked to hide in it, especially when it rained. It was obviously safer to stay at home, but he liked to hide in the small bamboo nest.
There is also a tree hole behind his house. There is a big hole at the root of the big tree, and it is difficult to see what is inside.
Some people said that it was a tunnel left over from the war. Later, when he grew up, he realized that it was not, but when he was a child, he had all kinds of strange fantasies about that tree hole.
For children, these strange things can make them feel more happy. Because they have experienced it themselves, they can empathize with Pengpeng.
Zhang Zhong didn't want to destroy Pengpeng's fantasy. She didn't need to grow up so quickly, so he didn't tell her just now that this wooden house was not an elf's house.
Pengpeng had a great time playing in his little wooden house, and Zhang Zhong went to cook. Anyway, the safety protection of the wooden house was very good, so Pengpeng should not have any problems.
After the meal was cooked, Pengpeng's forehead was covered with sweat. When Zhang Zhong called her to eat, she was running back and forth on the stairs.
She even beckoned Zhang Zhong to play hide-and-seek with her on the wooden house.
"Hurry up and eat. After dinner, we have to go to Teacher Xu's class."
Pengpeng then wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran down.
She was indeed in a good mood. She ran all the way to Zhang Zhong's arms and kissed Zhang Zhong on the face.
…
After dinner, Zhang Zhong took Pengpeng to Mengmu's Xiaozhu by subway. On the way, he was considering whether to get a transportation car, so that it would be more convenient to go to Mengmu's Xiaozhu in the future. Moreover, if there was a car,
Some things require a car, so there is no need to rush.
But before buying a car, he had to get his driver's license again.
His previous driver's license had expired, but fortunately it was not more than two years ago, so he only needed to take a test in subject one to apply for reinstatement of his driver's license.
There are no other students in Mengmu Xiaozhu's class tonight, only Pengpeng. When they went there, Xu Yuhan was eating a box lunch.
Seeing Zhang Zhong and the others passing by, Xu Yuhan quickly wiped her mouth and said, "Dad Zhang, Pengpeng, please wait for me for a while. I will finish eating here soon."
Zhang Zhong saw that there was still a lot of rice in her lunch box, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, Teacher Xu, you eat slowly, we are not in a hurry."
"Yes, Teacher Xu, don't eat too fast, otherwise you won't be able to pull out the daddy." Pengpeng said, waving her little hands.
Xu Yuhan: "..."
Zhang Zhong quickly pulled the girl aside, "Ahem, Teacher Xu, I'll take her to sit next to her for a while."
"Dad, am I right? This is what grandma told me. If you eat too fast, you won't be able to poop out..."
Zhang Zhong couldn't help but quicken his steps away from the counter.
Girl, can we stop talking about daddy? Didn’t you see that Teacher Xu’s face looked a little ugly when he looked at the lunch box?
Pulling Pengpeng aside, Zhang Zhong said to Pengpeng with a serious expression, "In the future, when someone is eating, don't talk about daddy, you know?"
"Why?"
"Well, because people don't want to hear that when they're eating."
"Oh, okay, I won't talk about it anymore."
Pengpeng has been learning painting here for some time and is already familiar with it. Xu Yuhan hasn't had a meal yet, so Pengpeng has already opened his painting box and is playing with the painting tools inside.
Recently, she has been learning some basic things about painting, such as some lines and so on. She has been practicing, and it has indeed achieved some results. Her current paintings are not as elusive as before.
At least she drew a cow, and Zhang Zhong could recognize that it was indeed a cow.
Xu Yuhan finished her meal quickly and then came over to tutor Pengpeng in painting.
Zhang Chong was bored and looked around the studio and found some differences. There was another oil painting on the wall.
Right next to the "Countryside" is a "Sunset".
The framing of the two paintings seems to be connected together. The sunset in the second painting is right at the end of the path in the first "Countryside" painting.
It is an ingenious design. Although there is no sun in the first painting, when the two paintings are put together, it makes people feel that the setting sun in the second painting is shining on the country road in the first painting.
This painting seems to be a recent one, but Xu Yuhan is in the studio almost every day. Where did he find the time to take the scene? Could it be that he painted it all from memory?
