Chapter 212: Link's Goddaughter
After Link buys the gifts, he calls Ari and learns that they are still shopping, but they are almost there. He didn't think about rushing over, but went to his dining room and sat down for a while, chatting with Harry for a while.
He didn't leave until Ari and the others came back from shopping. Harry had to keep the restaurant tonight, and although he decided to attend Alice's birthday party, he wouldn't be able to come until after nine o'clock. Bill will also go with him.
On the way back, Link was driving and thinking about his current state of life. Harry and Bill are both busy right now, and he has nothing to do.
To say rich, he may be in the top 100 in the country. If it comes to cash, he has the potential to be number one. But that doesn't seem to be a reason for him to do nothing.
He has money, so he doesn't have to run around for money. But now he doesn't seem to be doing anything but staying at home and playing with his daughter!
It was not the life of a young man. Anyway, it seemed like he should find something to do on his own. Otherwise, when Hannah grows up, he can't say that he is a good gambler and has won a lot of money. It would be humiliating if he didn't even have the slightest feats to make children proud of.
And now he only has one daughter, Hannah, and if he marries Jessica in the future, he will definitely have children. He can't do something that he can do without to make the children proud.
Either way, even to set an example for the child, he should do something. Whether or not you can make money is secondary. The important thing is to make the child feel that he is a great father.
He once heard a joke: "There was a child who was always lazy, and the parents were called to school by the teacher to explain it." Parents go home to educate their children, a little harsh. The child said quietly: There are three possibilities for birds not to fly, the first is that birds are very stupid and can't learn. Second, birds are lazy and don't want to fly. But I hate the third one the most: parents don't learn to fly, so they force the next generation to fly!"
He didn't want to be the third himself. Parents are the most profound role models for their children, even if they have not succeeded, but hard work will become a role model for their children. If he is lazy now, he is afraid that his future children will follow him as an example and become lazy.
Maybe his money can make his child worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, but he can't make the child a great person.
He felt that Hannah was a little smarter than other children his age. Although I can only speak in a few short sentences now. But he found that the girl was a quick learner. He has already bought more than a dozen children's picture books for her, and she can recognize all the paintings in them as long as she teaches them once.
He should have made a good impression of that girl sooner.
In this way, he should live his life more seriously. Even if it's pretending, Hannah should show that her daddy is actually very diligent.
When they returned to Hans's house, Benjamin and the others had already arrived. Jeff was pulling the lanterns with a few people from the farm. After he got out of the car, he asked the bodyguard to move the things out of the car. When Jeff saw him, he stopped and asked, "Link, did you buy the balloon and the air pump?"
Ari came over with a cardboard box and said with a smile, "I bought it." Maybe now we can blow up the balloons. ”
Jeff glanced at the lanterns that had been pulled up and said, "I think we'll have to hang them up first." Otherwise, the tip of the grass may puncture the balloon. ”
Link looked at the height of the lanterns, which were about three meters tall. "We need to renovate the ladder," he said. I'll get it!"
He went to the utility room next to the garage, took out a herringbone ladder, and said to Ari, "Eri, you blow up the balloons for me!"
“OK!”
Link climbed the ladder under the lanterns, then took the pink balloons that Eri had cheered up and tied them to the lanterns' wires with rubber bands.
He tied one to the wire, every foot or so, and carefully moved the ladder with his feet. The grass was not as smooth as the concrete floor, and Jeff stood by for a while, and when he saw that he was cautious, he relieved himself and said, "Link, be careful yourself!"
Link said, "Don't worry. If I'm in danger, I'll hold on to the ladder in time with Ari's outstretched hand. ”
At this time, the Hans family opened a crack. Hannah climbed down from her chair and pushed it to the side, only to pull the door open with all her might.
She cautiously popped her head out, and saw that there were people she knew outside, so she walked out the door and watched the adults do things curiously. She looked at them one by one, and found that her daddy stood tall, the tallest of them all. With a please, she turned around and crawled backwards down a few steps to the doorway, then got up and staggered towards Link.
The adults were busy, and they didn't forget to run, they didn't touch anything dangerous, and no one stopped her from playing.
Link had just hung up one balloon and looked down to take the other from Ari's hand when he saw Hannah running through the middle of the ladder.
Hannah also stood still, turned to look up at him. Seeing him look at herself, she grinned and raised her hand: "Daddy, I want balloons!"
Link looked behind him and didn't notice Barbara, but the door to the living room was open. He guessed that this girl had secretly escaped by himself. Barbara must have left her alone in the living room, but she didn't know that the girl had already learned how to open the door herself.
She would drag her chair and climb up to reach the doorknob to open it. When the door opened slightly, he climbed down on his own. When he was on the farm, this girl opened the door several times and dragged him outside to play.
"Daddy, Hannah wants a balloon!" Hannah saw that her little face was useless, and shouted at Link with a tiger face! This is to show her attitude: Hannah is not happy, and if she doesn't give it again, Hannah will be sad. Hannah is sad and will cry!
How could Link not understand her, smiled and lowered the balloon and let go of his hand. But a gust of wind blew the balloon off.
Hannah saw the balloon float down, raised her hand and giggled and chased after it. But she couldn't run fast in the grass. The balloon floated to the ground, and she ran over and crouched down to pick it up, but the balloon was blown away by the wind. She had no choice but to straighten up again and chase after her. This time, however, she only took two steps before the balloon hit the ground.
"Smack". Hannah was so frightened that she stumbled and fell to the grass. She looked up again and found that the balloon she was chasing was gone. She blinked and looked back at Link. Seeing that Link was also looking at her, her eyes widened, and she stretched out her little fat finger to the place where the balloon disappeared and exclaimed to Link: "Daddy, balloons, magic!"
Link couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He thought this girl would be scared to tears. I didn't expect her to think of magic.
He once watched a magic show on TV with her. This girl thinks the magician on TV conjures things up and down as if they were magic in a story. Now that the balloons were suddenly gone, she thought it was the balloons that could do magic.
Hannah didn't understand what Link was laughing at, so she scrambled to her feet, ran under the ladder again, and raised her hand to ask for the balloon.
Ari smiled and said to Link, "Boss, why don't I put a balloon on it." ”
Link thought about it for a moment, and was worried that Hannah would run around and no one would notice. And he came down from the ladder.
Hannah immediately rushed over and hugged his thigh and said, "Daddy, balloon magic!"
Link took her hand and said, "Wait for Daddy to teach you magic, now Hannah is playing here, okay?"
Hannah's eyes widened as if to say, "So Daddy, you're also magical!" and she nodded.
Link popped a balloon, then tied the hole straight into it and said to her, "Hannah will play with herself for a while." Daddy will be playing with you soon!"
Hannah is a good girl. And there was magic that attracted her, and of course she obediently sat at Link's feet and watched him inflate the balloons one by one. She watched as Link conjured up balloons in his hand and felt that her father was so powerful.
Link and Ari work together and soon hang all the lanterns in the balloons.
He popped a few more balloons. Then he pulled Hannah aside, and when he saw that the grass in one place was hard, he crouched down and said, "Hannah looks at Daddy's magic." He said he pinched the mouth of the balloon and gently slammed it into the tip of the grass.
He had blown the balloon very big. The balloon was pricked by the tip of the grass, and the snapping life burst again.
Hannah saw it clearly this time. Although she was still taken aback, she wouldn't be afraid of Link by her side. She grabbed Link's hand to see if he had hidden the balloon.
Link gave her the tattered balloon and said, "Look at the balloon just now." The balloon has air in it, so its belly is so big and big. He took Hannah's little hand again and gently touched the tip of the grass.
The child's skin was tender, and he was pricked by the tip of the grass, and Hannah shrank her hand and looked at him with a pouting eye full of accusations.
Link tapped his finger on her little face and said, "Did Hannah get pierced?" ”
Hannah nodded.
"The balloon will also get punctured. So it shouted out. When we speak, air comes out of our mouths. You see if it's windy. He put Hannah's hand to his mouth again. "The wind that Dad breathes when he speaks is air. The balloon was pricked and hurt, and when it wanted to shout, it spat out all the air in its stomach. So it has no gas in its stomach, and it becomes like this. ”
"Isn't it magic?" Hannah understood, but she understood, and Daddy said it wasn't magic.
Link didn't expect her to fully understand what he had just said. He took a balloon and put it in her hand and said, "Now let's get the balloon out together, shall we?"
Hannah was an inquisitive child, she blinked, nodded and said, "Okay, let the balloon call!"
Link took her hand and shook the balloon off the grass without slowing down. The first time, it didn't work, and the second time it still didn't explode. Hannah's eyes were already full of suspicion.
But fortunately, the third time, the balloon burst.
Hannah looked at the balloon in her hand, blinked, and asked Link, "Does the balloon hurt?"
Link was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, it should hurt!"
Hearing what he said, Hannah carefully picked up the last balloon and said, "I'm going to take the balloon to the house to play!" she said as she carefully ran into the house with the balloon. He was still clutching the balloon that had exploded. It seems that he doesn't want this balloon to be punctured as well.
Link looked at her little back, feeling quite relieved. Although Hannah has lost her mother, she is still living happily. She is a smart, beautiful, and kind little girl.
