"You can open these books yourself, see if you like anything, and Dad will buy it for you." Yang Yi said with a smile, he was also worried that his daughter was bored and didn't know what to do when she came to the bookstore.

It's also a lot of fun to find your own books at a bookstore!

Xi Xi nodded ignorantly, she turned her head to focus on the bookshelf, the villain books, like the previous wonderful patterns, attracted the little girl's attention.

However, Yang Yi saw Xixi looking left and right, and finally stretched out his hand to the large-format picture book, but those small-scale and thicker villain books were ignored by the little girl.

Maybe it's because the colors of the large folio are more vivid and the patterns look richer?

I saw that the little girl was clutching a large picture book with both hands, the size of her face, resting on the edge of the bookshelf, as if she were clutching a bowl, and she was a little worried that it would fall.

At first, she was at a loss. But after glancing at the little brother next to her, the little girl opened it in style, but she wore gloves and her fingers were a little clumsy, and she opened it directly to the middle of the album.

Yang Yi squatted down, first helped Xixi take the book well, and then said funny: "Come, Dad helped you take off your gloves, how can you read with gloves?"

"But, but I'm afraid of the cold. Xixi stretched out two small hands, but she still said to her father worriedly.

"Don't be afraid, it's not cold here. Yang Yi took off Xixi's two little gloves, and then held her two small hands in the palms of his hands, took a breath of heat, and said with a smile, "Look, it's not cold now, right?"

"Oops!" the little girl suddenly opened her eyebrows and giggled.

Let her read the books by herself, and Yang Yi also flipped through these villain books.

However, after a while, Yang Yi also found some problems. Most of these villain books are comic books, although the number of words is small, and a few pictures constitute a small story, but its plot is not very suitable for Xixi to see.

For example, this comic book that depicts school jokes.

A child said to his tablemate, "Why do you eat French fries again?" (Note 1)

The second picture says: "What I hate the most is people who worship foreign people!"

In the third picture, he asks him speechlessly, "Are you embarrassed to tell me, what is that box on your table?" (In the comics, the protagonist also has a large box on his table, which is exactly the same as the box of fries on his table.) ）

As a result, in the fourth picture, the protagonist smiled cheaply: "Who said that, this is obviously a fritter." ”

In the comics, inside the open box are fritters stacked on top of each other like French fries.

It's not that it's not good-looking, but the problem is that Yang Yi couldn't help but smile lightly when he looked at it, and he thought it was very interesting.

The stories or jokes told in these villain books are obviously not only for children, but also for adults.

Of course, just looking at this story, Yang Yi doesn't mind letting Xixi watch it. But looking at other stories, Yang Yi saw that the author used some laughing stalks of feces and urine, used some topics of love between boys and girls, and even used jokes like ***, lipstick, and masks.

For comparison, these villain books are the same as "Crayon Xiaoxin", which is more like a comic book for adults to read - although the later "Crayon Xiaoxin" has lost a lot of gender content, but the content is still relatively adult.

So this can be called children's comics? Obviously not suitable for children like Xi Xi who have not yet started school! Yang Yi doesn't want Xi Xi to be exposed to these adult ways of thinking at such a young age.

What makes Yang Yi feel that the problem is very serious is that this kind of comics is not a special case, most of the comics in the villain book counter located in the children's book area are similar to it.

Yang Yi remembered the column in the newspaper of a director of the Guangdong Writers Association named Yu Qian that Fu Jun had shown him. Although Fu Jun showed it to himself because Yu Qian recommended her first "Xixi's Bedtime Story" and let her book sell out of stock in Guangdong Province, Yang Yi still remembers Yu Qian's comments on children's literature in that article, she said that now Chinese children's literature has gone into a misunderstanding, and many writers who write children's literature are conceived with adult thinking, and the stories written are not suitable for children at all!

Yu Qian is also a mother, as a writer, she has always encouraged her children to read, but in her eyes, only "Xixi's Bedtime Story" written by Yang Yi is really a book suitable for children to read.

Yang Yi is now taking Xixi out to buy books, and he finally understands Yu Qian's feelings.

After looking around, Yang Yi only found a few children's books that were okay.

One is called "The Adventures of Little Fish", which describes a small sea fish, after birth, it starts its adventure in the sea, but there are not many thrilling plots, but it is a bit like a popular science book, so that children can learn about the marine world in beautiful illustrations.

There's also a book called "Pug Clown", which is a bit like the story of the ugly duckling, where the pug clown is disgusted by the other pets in the family - the devil knows how this family has so many pets, indifferent cats, fierce dogs, arrogant parrots, mischievous squirrels, greedy piglets, and an old talking lizard. However, unlike the ugly duckling, the pug clown did not become pretty, he was very positive in the face of the dog's life, bravely faced the challenges, and gained the friendship of other pets in the family in a small story.

Wait a minute......

There are four books in total, these fairy tale books can still be read, and they are all large volumes, full-color pictures, expensive is a little expensive, but Yang Yi gave it to Xixi, and the little girl saw it and liked it very much.

But the problem is that in the bookcase of children's books and villains with hundreds of books, Yang Yi found less than four books suitable for Xixi to read.

No, I ended up buying five copies.

Because Xixi bravely explored on her own and found her favorite book.

"I want this!" The little girl held a twenty-carat book in her hand, and looked at her father with longing eyes, just as she usually saw a beautiful puppet doll and couldn't move her feet, and wanted her father to buy it back for her.

Yang Yi took a look, this is not a storybook, but a popular science children's book with a lot of cartoon illustrations, introducing animals and plants in the forest.

"Do you like this?" Yang Yi asked with some surprise.

"There's a little rabbit on it, and a little mushroom!" Xixi nodded, but said to her father seriously.

It turned out that she also looked at the pictures to "ask for books", for Xixi, she couldn't understand the stories described in those books, on the contrary, the more beautiful and colorful the pictures in them, the more she liked them.

Of course, Yang Yi is still willing to buy popular science books for Xixi.

Along the way, Xixi was very happy, singing the nursery rhymes she learned in kindergarten to her father for a while, and talking to her father excitedly for a while, as if she went out to visit the bookstore, it was like buying a bunch of puppet dolls, which was very fun!

However, Yang Yi was not as happy as Xixi, and from this purchase, he deeply realized the seriousness of the problem about children's books described by Yu Qian.

Although he doesn't have the leisure to worry about the country and the people, he also has to think about what his daughter will read after reading these books?

Even if Xixi grows up, there are other books to read, what about her and Murphy's second child in the future?

Yang Yi can't avoid facing these problems.

Of course, Yang Yi can write it himself, but how many books can he write that are suitable for children?

Yang Yi has almost been hollowed out by Xixi, he has not read many children's stories in his previous life, most of them are stories he made up according to the settings of some fairy tales he knows. If he continues to talk nonsense, what he writes will be the same as those villain books, with a lot of adult thinking patterns.

Besides, there is a limit to what he can achieve by relying on his efforts alone.

What should Yang Yi do?
