Yan Xi came back with a large bouquet of flowers, as well as a bunch of candies and dolls, thinking that Xi Le would be happier, but she still pouted all the time.
"Let's decorate the house together, shall we?" she asked her daughter.
"Mom, why don't we go back?" the daughter asked her.
"Because mom still has a lot of things to do, the orders received by the studio must be delivered on time!" She looked at the things she bought and decided to arrange flowers first.
"But shouldn't I go back to my grandparents during the New Year? It's not good here at all, they don't celebrate the New Year." Xi Le looked unhappy. This year is not the same as her previous ones, it's not so lively!
"That's not what you said when you received the Christmas present." Yan Xi looked at her daughter with a smile, "Xi Le, we can't be so greedy and want everything, otherwise we won't get anything. We have to remind ourselves from time to time , If you want to gain something, you will definitely lose something, God is fair.¡±
"But mom, I really miss my grandparents, godfather, godmother, godfather and Tiantian." Xi Le stared at Yan Xi with clear eyes, "When can I go back?"
"When you grow up a bit, you can go back when you get used to the life here."
"Why?"
"Because we're going to live here."
"We obviously have a family, why did we come here to live?"
"Because my mother thinks that coming here can better develop my career."
Xi Le said, "That's not it? Grandpa always said that the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. I think your career here is not as good as it used to be in Qingquan."
"Every business starts from scratch, from small to large. This is a gradual process, and there is no rush."
"Grandma said you were avoiding godfather and Yitiantian's mother, and everything else was just an excuse!"
The child is simple, and he will say what he thinks of, without worrying about Yan Xi's feelings. Looking at her daughter, Yan Xi could only beg for mercy: "Xi Le, let's not talk about this topic, shall we?"
"All right."
When I first came to Paris, I went through a period of chaos, work and life, and everything had to start again. The language barrier is even more inconvenient. Fortunately, I haven't completely lost the English I learned, and it can still come in handy. In three months, she forced herself to learn French, and with joy, with Mike's help, she found a store and opened the studio. After bumps and bumps, it finally stabilized.
The strange thing is Xi Le. When she first came, when she was in a state of desperation, she was very obedient, she did what she said, and hardly caused any trouble to herself. When everything slowly returned to the right track, I began to ask her when she would go back every now and then. She couldn't seem to accept the fact that they were going to settle here.
Yan Xi found a vase, arranged the bought flowers, and placed them on a low table. Then he took out the fruit plate and put the bought candies into the fruit plate. Xi Le didn't understand. Here, they didn't know anyone except Uncle Mike, and no one would come to greet them. Why did they have to make preparations for the New Year?
She still wants to go back. If she is in Qingquan now, she can make an appointment with Yi Tiantian Jinqiu at this time to go to Hanyu Mountain Forest Park to play together. The uncles and aunts in the playground know them, and they can play whatever they want.
"Xi Le? Xi Le?" Seeing her standing there in a daze, Yan Xi yelled twice, and when she came back to her senses, she said, "Help mom see if there is any red thread in that drawer, made of Chinese knots?"
"What do you want the red thread for?"
"It's New Year's Eve, of course we have to create some New Year's atmosphere, hang two Chinese knots, and be more festive!"
Xi Le opened the drawer Yan Xi was pointing at, and looked for it: "No."
"Why didn't it exist?" She clearly remembered that there was a cheongsam last time, and she made a tassel design with a Chinese knot at the waist. That Chinese knot was made at home, so there must be an extra red thread. She thought about where the ball of thread would be, and searched all the drawers, but couldn't find it. Sighing, he said to himself, "I probably have dementia, and I can't even remember this thing."
Xi Le listened from the side, and asked very seriously: "No way, you have dementia at such a young age?"
"That's all I said, do you really believe it?"
"Mom, if you really have dementia, what should I do? We don't know anyone here?"
Yan Xi said angrily: "Don't worry, if I am really demented, I will definitely arrange for you."
"You are already demented, can you still remember me?"
"Smelly girl!" Yan Xi reached out and tapped her daughter's head lightly.??, "You wish I had Alzheimer's, don't you?"
After searching all the cabinets in the living room, she went to her bedroom. It seems that the top cabinet of the wardrobe holds sundries, maybe it will be there. She moved a stool, stepped on it, and wanted to get the storage box. But when I opened the cabinet, there was no storage box inside. That's weird, where did you put it? Maybe he was distracted, and when he jumped off the stool, he turned his right foot inward, and when he heard a "creak", the pain hit immediately. She couldn't help but yelled, her first thought was, could the bone be broken? She looked at the sore spot and found no swelling, so it shouldn't be serious, right? She consoled herself.
But the pain didn't mean to subside, on the contrary, it was still spreading. She leaned against the wall, held her ankle, and told herself that the pain would pass, just bear it, just bear it!
Xi Le heard the voice, ran over, saw her sitting on the ground, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I accidentally fell." She said lightly.
Xi Le came to help her, but she gently pushed her away: "I can do it myself."
The phone rang, and she got up to answer the phone. As soon as her injured foot stepped on the ground, the pain went into her heart, so she could only hop on one foot and go to the phone. Xi Le had already run out before her, and she told her behind: "If it's grandma calling, don't tell her about my wrestling. She's the most cranky, and I have to spend a lot of words to make her not worry. explain."
Xi Le picked up the phone, and it was indeed Qi Yueru who called.
She called grandma sweetly, wishing grandma a happy new year, which made Qi Yueru on the other end of the phone very happy.
"Ji Le, how are you doing there?"
"fine."
"It's Chinese New Year, did mom make wontons for you?"
"It's packed."
"That's good. After the new year, Xi Le will be one year older. Grandma's red envelopes are all saved for you, and I will give them to you when you come back."
"Thank you grandma."
"Where's mother?"
Xi Le took a look at Yan Xi and said, "She is drawing pictures in the room."
"What kind of picture are you drawing at this time? Tell her, don't think that just the two of you can deal with this Spring Festival casually."
