Huo Suicheng has never seen such a mischievous child.
You said that she is a child by nature, but at the age of two, she is much smarter and more sensible than any child of her age.
You said she was smart and cute, but there was nothing she did that didn't make her teeth itch.
There was his spare shirt and suit in the lounge of the office. Huo Suicheng took one, took off the shirt with the turtle on it, and put it on.
He didn't know the whole picture when he wore it on his body, and Huo Suicheng could see clearly the turtle painted on his shirt when he carried it in his hand.
The image is lifelike. For a two-year-old child, being able to draw such a turtle is simply a talent.
For a while, Huo Suicheng really didn't know whether Huo Xiaoxiao painted the turtle on purpose or not.
However, by virtue of getting along with Huo Xiaoxiao this year, Huo Suicheng labeled Huo Xiaoxiao as 'intentional' in his heart.
Relying on grandpa to spoil her, she is getting more and more naughty!
After meeting with the archaeological expert group, Huo Suicheng kept a stern face the whole time, as frosty as ice. If Yi Yang hadn't been smoothing things over, the meeting probably wouldn't have gone on.
"Mr. Huo, our expert team is still investigating the ancient tomb. According to the current investigation results, we infer that this may be a tomb before the Ming Dynasty. Because the ancient tomb is well preserved, we are still studying the origin of the tomb. not open."
Huo Suicheng nodded.
In fact, in Luming Mountain, even if the ancient tomb is properly protected, it is very easy for them to do something. They only need to find a few people to destroy the ancient tomb, and archaeologists have to enter the tomb to protect the cultural relics.
"This time, I still have something to do. I hope that Mr. Huo and Mr. Yi can cooperate with the work of our department..."
At the end of the meeting, the head of the expert group got up and shook hands with Huo Suicheng, Yi Yang and others to thank them.
"Thank you for your support of our archaeological work. Once there is any progress in the excavation of the ancient tomb, you will be notified immediately."
Huo Suicheng nodded, and asked people to send the experts out.
As soon as the experts left, Yi Yang couldn't help but sigh.
"According to what they mean, they probably want to protect the tomb."
"Looking at the sea and the mountains, it's not a big tomb that's difficult to dig. Even if they really want to protect it, there's no one who wants money or life to fight for it?"
Yi Yang was thoughtful.
half an hour.
"Don't talk about that, tell me about the turtle behind you, painted by Xiaoxiao? It's a good talent to draw it like this."
"..." Huo Suicheng stood up suddenly, "I will contact you if there is any progress, and you can come back if you are fine."
For the next whole day, Huo Suicheng had a stern face, stern words at every turn, and the appearance of not allowing strangers to enter made people stop.
Several assistants knew that their boss was in a bad mood, and each of them shunned each other tremblingly, praying in their hearts that there would be no problems at work, so as not to get burned.
——
Huo Xiaoxiao has never suffered as much as today, and his thoughts are restless and absent-minded all day long.
I have a little regret.
Although her father Huo Suicheng wanted to fool her like a child last night, she was in a good mood when drawing the turtle, but Huo Xiaoxiao didn't want to face her father who was about to come back to question her.
Maybe her father will let her experience a complete childhood.
After all, her father had wanted to teach her a lesson for a long time.
It's a moment of pleasure to abuse the father, and the crematorium will deal with the aftermath.
She is too difficult.
No, you have to find a way to save yourself.
"Xiao Xiao, take a look. This is the information your father gave to grandpa. Which of these kindergartens do you want to go to?"
Mr. Huo came over with a tablet and showed Huo Xiaoxiao the information about several kindergartens that Huo Suicheng gave him.
How can Huo Xiaoxiao understand at this age? I can only roughly understand from the few words of Mr. Huo that these kindergartens are among the best, with strong teachers and high teaching quality.
What made her speechless was that the annual tuition fees of these private kindergartens were simply sky-high.
Huo Xiaoxiao didn't want to choose, she didn't want to go at all, facing Mr. Huo, she was still struggling for the last time to go to the kindergarten.
"Grandpa, do you not like me anymore?"
"How come? Grandpa likes Xiaoxiao the most. Didn't Grandpa say that? It's your dad's decision to go to kindergarten. Be obedient and pick one, otherwise dad will be angry when he comes back at night."
"Then... Grandpa can... tell Dad, if you don't go to kindergarten, if Dad is disobedient, you will beat him! Scold him!"
Mr. Huo laughed loudly, "Okay, when your father comes back tonight, grandpa scolded him! How could you send Xiao Xiao to kindergarten so early?"
Huo Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
"But Xiaoxiao, if your father doesn't listen to grandpa, grandpa can't do anything about it."
Huo Xiaoxiao's expression drooped with joy.
Mr. Huo was amused by her, and he lost his breath when he laughed, and couldn't help but lower his head and cough.
"Old sir, are you all right?"
"grandfather!"
Mr. Huo coughed twice to calm his breath, and waved his hand, "Grandpa is fine."
Huo Xiaoxiao followed his back while saying, "Grandpa wants...to be like..."
There was a cartoon on the TV, in which the tortoise grandpa was walking slowly on the bottom of the sea with staggering steps.
Huo Xiaoxiao pointed at the TV, "Grandpa must be like Grandpa Turtle, a thousand years old!"
Huo Xiaoxiao's words made Mr. Huo laugh again, "Xiaoxiao hopes that grandpa will live a thousand years?"
"Ok!"
"With Xiaoxiao's words, grandpa will live a long life!"
Grandpa Turtle...
Huo Xiaoxiao had a flash of inspiration.
Have!
She ran upstairs with short legs, found a piece of her own clothes, drew a turtle on it, and found Mr. Huo's ironed clothes in the laundry room, and went downstairs.
"Grandpa, look, I drew it, a turtle."
"Drawn by Xiaoxiao? It's really good."
She took Mr. Huo's clothes, "I want to draw one for grandpa."
Of course Mr. Huo would not refuse Huo Xiaoxiao for a piece of clothing, "Okay, draw."
Huo Xiaoxiao was very interested in drawing a turtle on Mr. Huo's clothes. After finishing the painting, he pointed to the turtles on the two clothes, "Mine, grandpa's."
"Where's Dad's?"
"Draw it for Dad."
"Small heartless, why don't you paint for grandpa after painting for dad?"
"No, I love grandpa the most! Dad is bad, dad sent me to kindergarten!"
Huo Xiaoxiao made Mr. Huo laugh again with a few words.
"Mister, the young master is back."
Uncle Chen reported, Huo Xiaoxiao and Mr. Huo both looked up at the door.
I saw Huo Suicheng striding in with a shirt in his hand, his face was gloomy, and he walked with the wind, and he reached the living room in seven or eight steps.
From the door to the living room, he didn't say a word, his eyes were full of anger, like a prairie fire.
Huo Xiaoxiao was frightened by this momentum, and subconsciously tried to run away.
etc-
can't run.
When he ran, he seemed guilty.
what
True!
Her father is too stingy, didn't he just draw a turtle? Is it necessary to be so angry
Looking at his face, he thought he had done some heinous thing.
Seeing that his complexion was not good, Mr. Huo asked, "What's wrong? Your complexion is so ugly?"
Because of Mr. Huo's words, Huo Suicheng remembered how he had maintained and loved Huo Xiaoxiao in every way in the past.
No, this matter should not be known to the elderly until the children who do not know the heights of the sky and the earth are taught a lesson.
Huo Suicheng forcibly eased his face, and said: "It's nothing serious, you are..."
"I asked her to pick and choose about Xiaoxiao going to kindergarten."
"What does she know as a child?" Huo Suicheng bowed and was about to hug Huo Xiaoxiao, who was so shocked that Huo Xiaoxiao kept stepping back.
Huo Suicheng raised his eyebrows, and immediately picked him up with his hands.
"Dad, I'll talk to Xiaoxiao about the kindergarten, and I'll bring her down later."
Mr. Huo was eager for Huo Suicheng to be the bad guy, so he waved his hand, "Go, go, talk to her."
Huo Xiaoxiao panicked a lot, this is to take her out of grandpa's sight so as to teach her a lesson!
"grandfather!"
Huo Suicheng whispered: "Don't shout!"
Huo Xiaoxiao shut up aggrieved, and was carried all the way upstairs to the room by Huo Suicheng.
As soon as the door was closed, there were only her father and daughter in the room.
Huo Xiaoxiao took a deep breath.
Don't panic, hold on, it's not a big problem.
"dad… "
Huo Suicheng unfolded the shirt in his hand, and the traces of the turtle drawn by the marker pen on the back were clear.
"Did you draw this?"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded honestly.
"Taught by the teacher?"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded again.
"The painting is very good. Dad didn't expect that you can draw the turtle so well now. You are very talented in painting. I am very happy, but..." Huo Suicheng's tone changed suddenly, and he asked seriously: "Your teacher didn't teach You, you can only draw on the drawing board drawing paper, can't you draw in other places?"
"... said."
"Who asked you to draw it?"
Huo Suicheng's tone was too harsh, and Huo Xiaoxiao took a step back in fright, looking at him timidly.
"I took this shirt from the cloakroom early in the morning for me to wear on purpose? Why did you do that?"
"I...I..." Huo Xiaoxiao stuttered and stuttered, blushing so anxiously that he couldn't say a word, "I want... I want to draw."
"If you want to draw, you can draw on paper. Why do you want to draw on Dad's clothes? Do you know it's wrong to do so?"
Of course she knew it was wrong to do so, but if she hadn't been fooled like a fool last night, she wouldn't be so angry.
Huo Xiaoxiao quietly tugged at his thigh, his eyes gradually covered with mist, looked at him pitifully, and nodded slowly.
Huo Suicheng looked at her seriously, "Originally, I planned to return your little schoolbag to you tomorrow, but because of your naughtiness, I decided to keep the little schoolbag in my father's custody for the time being. When will I return it to you to see how you behave."
"..." Huo Xiaoxin was in pain, a piercing pain.
She pursed her mouth, the tip of her nose was unbearably sore, her eyes were gradually blurred and covered with a layer of mist, but she stubbornly refused to fall off. She rubbed her head in the shirt, and wiped all her tears on the shirt, smearing a large area.
"dad… "
But Huo Suicheng was hard-hearted and was not moved by it at all, "Also, you scribbled and stained this dress. If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences."
After finishing speaking, he picked up Huo Xiaoxiao and went into the bathroom, stuffed the shirt into Huo Xiaoxiao's arms, and even thoughtfully found laundry detergent and a small basin, "Wash it clean."
"..." Huo Xiaoxiao looked at Huo Suicheng stubbornly, as if he couldn't help it anymore, tears fell down, "Don't wash."
"Shouldn't you wash it yourself if you painted it yourself?"
Huo Xiaoxiao hugged her clothes tightly and shook her head crying, "No."
"Why not? You painted it yourself, so you can wash it yourself, right?"
"But… "
"Wash it up, Dad is here with you."
Huo Xiaoxiao looked very aggrieved, hugged the shirt to her chest like a baby, and didn't wash it anyway. Huo Suicheng was in a hurry, and she couldn't help but cry aggrieved in a low voice.
"Don't cry, wash quickly."
Two tears fell on the shirt, Huo Xiaoxiao sobbed while putting the shirt into the small basin, filled it with water, squeezed in laundry detergent, and rubbed the shirt with his small hands aggrieved.
But it was drawn with a marker, and after another day, normal laundry detergent is hard to remove
Huo Xiaoxiao rubbed it symbolically a few times, and a basin full of foam came out, and the marker stain on the shirt was not cleaned much.
clack clatter—
Tears fell into the basin one drop after another.
"Dad, it can't be washed off."
Where did Huo Suicheng really let her wash it clean, but just took the opportunity to teach her a lesson.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded.
Huo Suicheng let her go, picked her up and rinsed off the foam on her hands under the tap, and said in a low voice, "Don't draw on dad's clothes next time, remember?"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded again.
After such an incident, Huo Xiaoxiao was in low spirits and didn't eat much at night.
Mr. Huo asked Huo Suicheng when he saw her like this, "What did you take her up just now?"
Huo Suicheng swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "Early this morning, she brought me a shirt from the cloakroom for me to wear, and I put it on without paying attention. The marker pen drew a turtle, and I gave her a lesson just now."
"Turtle? Because of this?"
Huo Suicheng nodded, "It's not a trivial matter, you are just too used to her, that's why you are getting more and more naughty."
Mr. Huo put the chopsticks on the table, looked at Huo Xiaoxiao, "Little Xiao, come here, grandpa hugs you."
Huo Xiaoxiao looked at Huo Suicheng timidly, and got into Mr. Huo's arms.
As soon as he entered Mr. Huo's arms, he couldn't help crying.
The suppressed crying was soft, and gradually could not be suppressed under Mr. Huo's touch and comfort, and turned to crying loudly.
She raised her head, pointing at Huo Suicheng with tears all over her face, "Dad... let me, let me do the laundry, the tortoise, the tortoise is gone."
"do the laundry?"
Huo Suicheng: "She made it dirty, shouldn't she wash it by herself?"
Mr. Huo looked at Huo Suicheng reproachfully, "You...you!"
"Grandpa, the tortoise... the tortoise is gone!"
"It's okay, don't cry, since your father doesn't like it, then I won't draw for him in the future, grandpa likes it, Xiaoxiao will draw for grandpa."
Huo Suicheng looked puzzled, and before he could ask carefully, Mr. Huo left the table with Huo Xiaoxiao in his arms.
Uncle Chen understood what he heard, and sighed, "Why didn't the young master ask clearly?"
"what happened?"
Uncle Chen brought two pieces of clothes from the sofa.
One is a small white T-shirt, and the other is Mr. Huo's white shirt, with two naive little turtles drawn on the back.
"These are all drawn by Xiao Xiao. I heard Xiao Xiao's meaning. It should mean that a family wears parent-child clothes."
"... draw a turtle?"
"Xiaoxiao watched a book about the adventures of the tortoise yesterday. There is a grandfather tortoise who is more than a thousand years old. She said that she hopes that the old man and you can live to be a thousand years old in good health like the grandfather tortoise."
Huo Suicheng was speechless for a while, his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't say a word.
"Xiaoxiao is still young, so she doesn't understand those things, and the way she did it was wrong, but it was a good intention anyway. How could you let her wash it?"
Thinking of the fact that I asked her to wash the turtles on the clothes indiscriminately just now, Huo Suicheng had mixed feelings, and he had never felt guilty in his heart.
The crying in the living room intensified.
Uncle Chen persuaded: "Go and coax me."
Huo Suicheng held chopsticks in his hand, where he could still eat, he put down his chopsticks and got up.
Huo Xiaoxiao cried so badly that the roof was almost torn off.
"Okay, don't cry, let's not draw for dad anymore, and you will draw for grandpa in the future. He doesn't like it, but grandpa likes it."
Mr. Huo glared at Huo Suicheng, and his eyes signaled that he should come over and coax him.
Huo Suicheng reached out to hug Huo Xiaoxiao, but Huo Xiaoxiao turned his head to see him, and quickly got into Mr. Huo's arms, hugged his neck and did not let go, and cried: "Don't want Dad! Dad go away !"
Huo Suicheng stopped in mid-air with his hands awkwardly.
"Okay, no dad."
"Dad hates it!"
"Okay, let's ignore him!"
"I washed daddy's turtle off woo woo woo..."
"Wash it off and wash it off, it's no big deal, stop crying."
"Father can't live to be a thousand years old."
"... Yes, even if the tortoise is washed off, your father can live a thousand years."
The last cry ended with Huo Xiaoxiao tired of crying.
Huo Suicheng sat in the living room, looking at the three pieces of clothes with turtles in front of him, slightly lost in thought.
His one is almost washed, and it doesn't look like a turtle. The other two pieces can be seen that the turtle was drawn by a child with great concentration.
— "She said, I hope the old man and you can live a thousand years like Grandpa Turtle."
Huo Suicheng closed his eyes.
Just a shirt, just a turtle.
Don't be so impulsive, you should ask clearly before making a decision.
Mr. Huo came down from upstairs, looked at Huo Suicheng on the sofa, and sighed heavily, "Sleeping."
Huo Suicheng came back to his senses, and gave a low "um".
"You are a first-time father. I know you are inexperienced, but when it comes to children, you must at least be patient. You can't blame her without asking indiscriminately. How sad is she when you let her wash the painting for you?"
"I see, in the future... I will pay attention."
In the dead of night, Huo Xiaoxiao's room was quietly pushed away.
The orange warm lamp at the head of the bed was sprinkled on the top of the head, and only a small ball was arched on the huge bed.
Huo Suicheng walked slowly to the bed. The child on the bed had obviously fallen asleep, crying too hard, his eyelids were swollen visible to the naked eye, and there were still tears on his face, but even when he fell asleep, he couldn't help sobbing .
Huo Suicheng reached out and touched her small face, rubbed his fingertips on her cheeks, and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks.
The child's wet eyelashes were trembling because of sobbing, Huo Suicheng leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek like a ghost.
Mr. Huo is right. He is inexperienced and impatient. He often uses his own way to get along with children without considering the children's feelings.
In the final analysis, it is only a child's nature to draw, so why be so strict with her.
The child on the bed moved, opened his eyes quietly, grabbed Huo Suicheng's little finger with his little hand, and shouted uneasily: "Dad..."
Huo Suicheng was startled slightly, looking at her red eyes washed with water, and lowered his voice, "Did I wake you up?"
Huo Xiaoxiao shook his head, hiccupped and asked timidly, "Are you... still angry?"
The temperature from the little finger, the timid eyes, the probing tone, the sobbing nasal sound, how could Huo Suicheng's heart be hardened, and hugged Huo Xiaoxiao in his arms, "Are you scared today?"
Huo Xiaoxiao leaned on his shoulder and nodded.
"In the future... hiccup... can you not kill me?"
"Then Xiaoxiao is still willing to draw a turtle for Dad?"
Huo Xiaoxiao looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, "Dad...don't you like it?"
"Dad likes it, can you draw another one for Dad?"
Huo Xiaoxiao bit her lip, as if thinking about it.
"Don't want to? You and grandpa have both, only dad doesn't."
"Dad told me to wash it off!"
"Draw another one for Dad, and Dad will never wash it again."
"real?"
"real."
Huo Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, and reluctantly said: "Then... well, I will draw you another one, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
"Dad, you...you can't throw me into the sea."
Huo Suicheng was taken aback, but she didn't expect that she could still remember what he said casually that night.
"I won't throw you away."
"You can't throw others."
"Okay, don't throw others."
"And... Dad can't bully me."
"Okay, I won't bully you."
"You can't bully others either."
Huo Suicheng asked back: "Who did I bully?"
"... You can't bully people anyway."
Huo Suicheng smiled, "Okay, listen to you, don't bully others, is there any other conditions?"
"My little schoolbag..."
Huo Suicheng agreed simply, "I will return it to you tomorrow."
Huo Xiaoxiao raised his head from his shoulders and looked at him expectantly, "I... can I not go to kindergarten?"
Huo Suicheng wiped her tears with his hand, and said: "No, grandpa is not in good health, so he can't take care of you every day. Xiaoxiao can play and draw with other children when he goes to kindergarten, isn't it good?"
"Grandpa is in poor health?"
"Grandpa is taking medicine every day and needs a good rest."
Huo Xiaoxiao understood.
"Then... then I'll go to kindergarten, but you have to remember to pick me up."
Huo Suicheng touched the back of her head, "Of course I will pick you up, how could I forget."
Huo Xiaoxiao sniffed, and seemed to have completely accepted the fact of going to kindergarten, and leaned back on Huo Suicheng's shoulder, showing a sly smile in a place he couldn't see: (*￣︶￣)
