209, Christmas farewell
"Rushing Duck"
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it was dark early in Shengjing in winter, and it was already nightfall at this point, and the lights were on. Li Chao went to the kindergarten to pick up Master Dou Dou back, and Dou Dou rushed forward with a small schoolbag as soon as he got out of the car, going to find the mallard duck Li Gazi to play.
The teacher nervously followed behind his sister, worried that his sister would pull Li Gazi to the kitchen again and wanted to make food.
However, the two were about to take the elevator, when suddenly a door next to them opened, and out came acquaintances, Jimu and Ellie. The three children immediately happily got together and muttered, and then Ellie told Master Dou the bad news that she was going back to China.
Dou Dou pointed to the forest across the lake and asked if it was there, she could go and play with her at any time, but the teacher told her that it was not the forest, but the place where the hole was to be dug to go over.
Last time, Li Xiang used the globe to tell them where the Maple Leaf Country was, and it was only a hole away from Huaxia Kingdom.
The two silly girls argued for a while, and Ellie told them that it would take 12 hours to fly to her country, far and wide, across the Pacific Ocean.
Dou Dou and Shishi do not have a strong concept of time, and they are even less familiar with the so-called Pacific Ocean, so they stupidly asked what kind of sheep the Pacific Ocean is, why do they have chickens and cross sheep, and Jim is not related to Don Mu.
Ellie was dizzy, feeling that she couldn't communicate with these two little people, couldn't talk to them, and they didn't know what to say.
She turned to her daddy Jim and said that these two were super babies.
The two families chat briefly and then part, with Ellie and Jim out on business. When he returned home, Li Chao called Dou Dou, who pulled the duck, and the teacher who pulled the rack, to tell them about the Maple Leaf Country, the Pacific Ocean, and Christmas. He couldn't accept the stupidity that Master Dou Dou showed just now, his son was so good, how could his daughter be so stupid.
Li Chao brought a globe from Li Xiang's study, asked Master Dou Dou to sit on a small stool, and explained to them the hometown of the Ellie family, the Maple Leaf Country, and the Pacific Ocean.
Only then did the two children know that Ellie was going to a far, far away place, farther than their grandmother's house, and they didn't know if they would come back or not.
This made them anxious and sad, they had just established a cross-ethnic friendship with Ellie, and it was just when it was so good that they couldn't accept the sudden separation, so they asked their father to take them to Ellie's house to say goodbye.
Li Chao saw that they were about to cry, and agreed to take them there, on the premise that they would eat first and then go over after eating, otherwise they would be suspected of rubbing rice now.
However, just as they were about to leave, the phone in the living room rang, it was Jim calling, saying that he wanted to visit in an hour, and they were going to the Maple Leaf Country for Christmas, this time to say goodbye to their family and send Christmas wishes in advance.
Xiang Xiaoyuan took advantage of this hour to clean up the house, Dou Dou hugged Gazi Duck, Shi Shi held Down's cat, and the family and small animals waited for Jim's family to visit ceremoniously.
"Ding Dong"
The anticipatory doorbell rang.
Dou Dou stood still excitedly, and said crisply to the door, "Please come in." ”
Xiang Xiaoyuan said funny: "You're going to open the door." ”
Dou Dou then remembered, hugged Gazi Duck and ran to open the door, and it was really Ellie with a smile on her face outside the door.
Her mom and dad stood behind her, wearing red Santa hats on their heads.
Ellie sent an inflatable fawn doll that a child could ride on.
Tonight's protagonists are three little children, and the adults are just foils.
Three children in red Santa hats chatted together all the time, and Master Dou invited Ellie to their room to go shopping, and went to the garden on the roof to see the snowman.
The five snowmen on the roof of the building are extremely tenacious, and after many days, they are still strong. However, they are no longer pure snowmen, and it is more appropriate to say that they are icemen, because of the freezing rain, the snowpile has become a pile of hard and translucent ice.
Xiang Xiaoyuan and Li Chao accompanied Jim and Anna to chat casually in the living room, in fact, they could not talk much, because Li Xiang was not at home, and Li Chao and Xiang Xiaoyuan did not speak English, and Anna and Jim had limited Chinese. The four of them relied on this limited Chinese and gestured with their hands to chat.
It stands to reason that it should be quite embarrassing, but fortunately, I quickly found a common language, Anna likes music, and Xiang Xiaoyuan also likes music. Xiang Xiaoyuan invited Anna to visit her music room, and the two sat at the piano to meet friends on the piano and listened to Li Xiang's internal album.
A set of high-end Dynaudio stereos is installed in the music room, and the music played out is like a singer singing in the ear, and the resolution is very high.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, when Ellie was finally leaving, Dou Dou and Shishi reluctantly sent her to the door, almost crying.
The adults did not urge, and quietly let the children say goodbye.
After the separation tonight, the next time I want to see the Ellie family again, it will be on the 15th of January. Ellie's family will go to Toronto, where they will meet up with Jim's parents and brothers for a hearty Christmas holiday.
Their plane is tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, and they will leave home for the airport at 5 o'clock, so there is no chance to say goodbye to Master Dou Dou.
"For you Ellie, this is my little baby. ”
Dou Dou's eyes were red, he hesitated again and again, and gave the Gazi duck he was holding in his arms to Ellie, and Ellie gave her a fawn, and she decided to return the gift to the duckling. This is called a gift exchange, you give me and I will give you, and next time you can have a gift.
Ellie was stunned, and looked down at Dou Dou holding the mallard duck stretched over, and the duck was also confused. Send it, give her this duck She looked up at Dou Dou, very serious, not teasing her This little sister teased her several times just now, so she wants to confirm whether this time is also a prank.
"Give it to you Ellie, it's a chong duck, you can play with it, but you can't eat it, it's a good duck, my brother said that when spring comes, the gazi duck will lay duck eggs and become ducklings, and the ducklings will grow up and become big ducks, and the big ducks will give birth to duck eggs, and the ducklings will become ducklings, and the ducklings will grow up and become big ducks, and the big ducks will lay eggs......"
Dou Dou was infinitely reverie, and he learned to draw big cakes for people at a young age.
This set of rhetoric fits perfectly with Li Xiang's on-the-spot essay "An Egg's Belongings", and if you change it, it's called "A Duck Egg's Belongings", which has become the set that Dou Dou is talking about now.
For Li Doudou's child's unexpected behavior, everyone present was shocked, including the non-human Dam's cat, whose agate-like eyes looked at Dou Dou in horror, wanting to slip away from the teacher's arms at any time and escape, what if he gave it away!
The teacher was about to cry when he was separated from Ellie, but when he heard that his sister was going to send her beloved Gazi Duck away, he really cried now, and he cried silently, wanting to stop his sister loudly, and he was worried that Ellie would be unhappy because it was rude.
Fortunately, Jim, Ellie, Li Chao and Xiang Xiaoyuan all persuaded Dou Dou to take back this gift.
In the end, the Gazi duck was not sent out, and Ellie did not dare to accept it, and there was nowhere to raise it unless it was taken to the Maple Leaf Country, but she guessed that the duck must be airsick and had to be thrown into the Pacific Ocean before it arrived home. According to what Dou Dou just said, at this time next year, the Pacific Ocean will definitely be full of fat mallards, and the big fish and small fish will be dangerous.
The duck was not sent out, and the teacher's tears still did not stop, not only her, but Dou Dou also cried, because they were really going to separate from Ellie, Ellie also cried, and the three children hugged their heads and cried.
The friendship of children is really simple and beautiful, I haven't seen each other a few times, but it can be so sincere.
