The father and daughter looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Dad, what story are you telling me?"
"The daughter of the sea."
"But... why is what Aunt Zhao said different from what you said?"
"What did Aunt Zhao say?"
"Aunt Zhao said that Xiaoyu is very kind and would sacrifice himself for others. He is... a good fish."
Huo Suicheng looked at her seriously, "Huo Xiaoxiao, the little mermaid is really kind, and will selflessly dedicate herself to others, and my father also hopes that you are a kind girl, but before loving others, you must always remember to love yourself, my father does not allow You hurt yourself for anyone, remember?"
Huo Xiaoxiao looked up at him and blinked, "Is that little fish wrong?"
"Daddy doesn't like what she's doing."
"Dad doesn't like it... Then I won't learn from her in the future."
"What story did you tell me?"
"... Cinderella."
Huo Suicheng pinched her little face, "Did grandpa teach you?"
"Grandpa didn't teach me." Huo Xiaoxiao paused, looking at him pitifully, "Dad, will you find me a stepmother like Cinderella's father in the future? Will the stepmother treat me well? If she doesn't Like me is not good for me, will dad still like me? Will dad bully me with stepmother? Don't give me food, don't give me milk, let me sleep in the kitchen, let me cook and wash clothes... No, Dad has asked me to wash clothes before, Dad, will you abuse me with your stepmother?"
"..."
The more you talk, the more pitiful, Huo Xiaoxiao broke his fingers and continued: "If the stepmother gave birth to a little brother or a little sister, will my father drive me out?"
"..."
"But grandpa said that if dad wants to find me a stepmother one day, he must get my consent, otherwise grandpa won't spare you!" After finishing speaking, Huo Xiaoxiao sighed heavily, "I really hope grandpa can live a lifetime." Chitose, then grandpa will definitely protect me and won't let me wash clothes and cook."
Huo Suicheng tapped her on the head, "What are you thinking about at such a young age? I said I will find you a stepmother?"
Huo Xiaoxiao grinned her teeth and screamed in pain, covering her head with her hands, "But...you will find it one day. It is said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepdad, and Cinderella's father is that."
Huo Suicheng pinched the bridge of his nose.
I'm too busy with company affairs, how can I find the energy to find a stepmother for her
"Father, will you find a stepmother for me? What do you like? Will you still like me after finding a stepmother? Will you..."
Huo Suicheng heard her babbling, the stepmother couldn't make it through, "Shut up and go to sleep!"
"Is Dad impatient with me now?"
"If you don't sleep anymore, I will let you sleep in the kitchen like Cinderella."
"..."
Huo Xiaoxiao lay down and covered the quilt, "Good night, Dad."
Huo Suicheng tucked up the quilt for her, turned and turned off the light, "Good night."
Maybe it's thinking day by day and dreaming at night.
Huo Xiaoxiao had a dream at night.
In the dream, Huo Suicheng married her a stepmother.
The stepmother is Su Yuanqing, the woman she saw in a dream that fascinated Huo Suicheng.
Huo Suicheng liked her very much, and was obedient to her, and Huo Xiaoxiao became the Cinderella in the story, sleeping in the kitchen, and was ordered by Su Yuanqing to serve tea and water, wash and cook.
Not only that, her father also turned a blind eye to her and let her stepmother bully her.
Huo Xiaoxiao was so angry that she packed her baby bottle and her small schoolbag, and was about to run away from home, making her father regret it and never find her again.
Before leaving, she went to see her father for the last time, but heard through the crack of the door that her stepmother urged Huo Suicheng to drive her out.
She heard Huo Suicheng say to Su Yuanqing: "If you don't like her, then drive her out."
——
Huo Suicheng suddenly woke up.
Looking at Huo Xiaoxiao who was sleeping soundly beside him, he got up and drank some water.
Thinking of the absurd dream I had just now, I was at a loss for words.
It's really hard to understand, how can I have such a dream
How could he dream of that Su Yuanqing whom he had only seen twice
What's even more outrageous is that in the dream, he actually married Su Yuanqing
"Well... Just go!" Huo Xiaoxiao, who was asleep on the bed, sobbed and talked in sleep, "Don't you chase me away, I will go by myself!"
Huo Suicheng touched Huo Xiaoxiao's forehead, and suddenly smiled.
It's really a dream every day and night. The little guy is young and has a bigger temper than anyone else. If he really bullied her like he did in his dream, he would probably run away from home in anger.
"You are a big kid, no one will drive you away."
It seemed that after hearing Huo Suicheng's assurance, Huo Xiaoxiao's mumbling mouth stopped, his brows stretched, and he fell asleep quietly.
——
Perhaps it was because of a nightmare at night, the next day, Huo Xiaoxiao was sleepy, unable to lift his spirits, and sat listlessly in the kindergarten classroom, listening to the children telling the bedtime stories his parents told him.
Her mind is full of her dad's mermaid.
After one night, Huo Xiaoxiao still couldn't get away from the fairy tale her father told her.
Her dad is too handsome.
Didn't her father really think that a two-year-old child could understand what he said, 'Don't hurt yourself for anyone, especially a man'
"Okay, just now little girl Huang Yueqi told everyone the story her father told her, so is there any child who is willing to share the story that her parents told her?"
"I!"
"Me, me, me!"
"I'll tell!"
The children raised their hands enthusiastically.
The teacher looked around and set his eyes on Huo Xiaoxiao who was on the side.
"Xiao Xiao, do you want to share the stories told by your parents with the children?"
Huo Xiaoxiao was wandering outside, not paying attention to the teacher at all, Zhou Zhou who was sitting beside her poked her with an elbow, and she suddenly came back to her senses and responded blankly.
"Okay! Children, everyone applauds and welcomes Huo Xiaoxiao to share a bedtime story with you!"
The applause was loud.
"..." Huo Xiaoxiao hesitated to speak.
All right, just say it.
Without being shy, she came to the middle of the classroom and told her the story of "The Daughter of the Sea" that Huo Suicheng told her last night.
"A long time ago, in the deep, deep seabed, there was a castle in which six mermaid princesses lived. The youngest princess fell in love with a prince. In order to be with the prince, she asked the witch to turn her fish tail into a legs..."
"Later, the Little Mermaid turned into foam and sank to the bottom of the sea."
After finishing speaking, Huo Xiaoxiao looked up at the teacher, "Teacher, I'm done."
"Is the story told by classmate Huo Xiaoxiao good?"
"Sounds good!"
"Then Huo Xiaoxiao, can the teacher ask you, what does this story mainly tell us?"
"This story tells us..." Huo Xiaoxiao paused, remembering the adult thoughts her father instilled in her last night, and the dream she had last night, and now thinking about it, she is still a little angry.
"This story tells us that the little mermaid lost her voice for the prince, lost her fish tail, and finally lost her life and turned into a bubble that disappeared forever, so we must not hurt ourselves for anyone, especially men. , we have to love ourselves before we can love others.”
All the three- and four-year-old children in the classroom were ignorant, but the teacher was speechless.
"Little, this is..."
"That's what my dad told me."
"Your father?"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded.
The teacher forced a smile, "The teacher understands, the little story is really good, you go back to your seat and sit down."
Huo Xiaoxiao returned to his seat and sat down.
Zhou Zhou leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Xiao Xiao, don't worry, I'm not that kind of man, I won't hurt you."
Huo Xiaoxiao glanced at him, "... oh."
"Okay kids, that's the end of our story today, and we'll tell the story to the kids in the afternoon. Now let Teacher Xu take everyone to sing together. The teacher is leaving first."
"goodbye teacher."
The teacher walked out of the classroom with a smile, returned to the office, and found the life teacher of the kindergarten class.
"Ms. Zhou, could I trouble you to give me the contact number of Huo Xiaoxiao's parents in the class?"
"Mr. Sun, what's wrong with Huo Xiaoxiao?"
"Didn't I assign homework to the children yesterday? Let them go home and listen to their parents telling stories. Huo Xiaoxiao is only two years old. The stories told by the parents are too...advanced."
Teacher Sun retells Huo Xiao's novel.
Teacher Zhou was stunned and couldn't believe it, "Is it true?"
"Can I lie to you? Although there is nothing wrong with telling the story like this... No, I'd better call and ask."
"Okay, I'll give you the contact information."
Teacher Zhou found the phone number of Huo Xiaoxiao's parents from the address book, and Teacher Sun called.
"Hello, are you Huo Xiaoxiao's parents? I'm a teacher in Wellington Kindergarten. My surname is Sun."
"Is it the little teacher? You wait, I will give the old man the phone."
"OK."
——
After school in the afternoon, it was Mr. Huo who came to pick up Huo Xiaoxiao.
As soon as he got in the car, Mr. Huo asked everything, what did he do in the kindergarten today, did he get bullied, and did he eat well.
At the end of the question, I asked: "I heard that your father told you a story last night. What story? Tell grandpa?"
Huo Xiaoxiao once again recounted the story her father told her last night.
"Dad said, if I dare to do this in the future, I will break my leg. Grandpa, will Dad break my leg? I'm so scared."
The more he said, the more ugly Mr. Huo's face became, "He dares! Don't listen to your father, he is scaring you."
"Really! Then I can rest assured! Grandpa, you must live to be a thousand years old, so that Dad will not dare to bully me easily!"
"Okay, grandpa lives to be a thousand years old."
After returning home, Mr. Huo told her a lot of warm and lovely fairy tales. It wasn't until Huo Suicheng came back at night that Mr. Huo went downstairs with a bad face.
From time to time, there were angry reprimands in the living room, vaguely sounding like she was scolding her father.
Huo Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands, lying quietly on the stairs and listening.
"Why do you tell such a small child those truths? Fairy tales are for children to create dreams. Can you understand them when you tell her?"
"What stories did other parents tell their children? What stories did you tell her?"
"It's your job as a father to protect her!"
"Don't tell me these big things, you want to break her leg?"
"No matter why, you can't scare her!"
"You will go and explain it to her later, and promise not to scare her again in the future!"
Huo Suicheng laughed angrily.
"Dad, a child, promise? It won't happen, right? You also said that she is young, so she can finish it after hearing it. How can she remember? Besides, there is nothing wrong with what I said, it's just an early education."
"Her two-year-old child needs your education in advance? Will she become a father? Go!"
Huo Xiaoxiao was listening happily when suddenly he lost his voice.
Footsteps sounded at the top of the stairs, and she quickly got up and went into the room to hide.
Speaking back, her grandfather's words are nice and hit the nail on the head.
What is the purpose of telling children so much about the truth in the human world? And scare her! He should be scolded.
The door of the room opened.
Huo Suicheng walked in from the outside.
"dad!"
Huo Suicheng hugged her with one hand, "Did you complain to grandpa today?"
Huo Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, "No."
"No?"
"Really not. My grandfather asked me if my father told me a story. I told my grandfather what my father told me. I didn't complain to my grandfather."
"Only told stories with grandpa? Didn't you tell anything else?"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded, "No."
Huo Suicheng looked at the slyness in Huo Xiaoxiao's eyes, and pinched her little face, "Okay, Dad apologizes to you, and will never say anything about breaking your legs again. Aren't you worried that Dad will find you a stepmother? Come, daddy will give you a guarantee that I will never find a stepmother for Xiaoxiao in the future."
After speaking, he carried her to the study room, took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter of guarantee.
"I, Huo Xiaoxiao... No, I, Huo Suicheng, promise that I will not find a stepmother for Huo Xiaoxiao in the future. If there is any violation, my legs will be broken."
"Dad, you made a mistake, this is 18!" Huo Xiaoxiao pointed out the number in the letter of guarantee.
Huo Suicheng took a look and crossed out 18, "Yes, Dad made a mistake."
And make up the uppercase of twenty five.
After finishing writing, he grabbed Huo Xiaoxiao's hand and asked her to print her fingerprints.
Huo Xiaoxiao refused to obey, and panicked: "Dad! What are you doing!"
"My father gave you a guarantee. Your grandpa said, let me give you a guarantee to make you feel at ease."
"No...you just press your promise, why do you want me!" Huo Xiaoxiao grabbed his wrist for the last struggle, his little face flushed.
"Press one father as well. Be good, don't move, just press a handprint, and you won't have a stepmother in the future."
No stepmother? I think I don't have a boyfriend!
Huo Xiaoxiao fluttered wildly in his arms.
When I am illiterate! ! !
What was written on it was clearly 'I, Huo Xiaoxiao, promise that I will not fall in love if I am under the age of twenty-five. If there is any violation, my father will break my leg'!
Twenty five! You are so cruel!
Isn't that just a complaint? Is it necessary to do this to me!
I don't press! ! !
