Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info doesn't have to have any intimate gestures and greetings, the two just look at each other and know that he or she is right next to them, and that's it.
But this morning, Lili stood in the courtyard, in addition to boxing and meeting Uncle Zhu, she had a different kind of expectation.
It was yesterday, and she was boxing in the courtyard, as if she could get closer to Uncle Zhu emotionally. Then, she noticed that someone was watching her, and she turned her head, and she saw a child hiding in the courtyard gate and staring.
This is a closed high-end residential area, with security guards guarding the gate and regular patrols, and the security situation is extremely good, and it is difficult for idle people to enter. Therefore, the wealthy who live here are very relieved, they do not need a nursing home, and their relatives and children can walk around and play outside with peace of mind.
The little girl was about five or six years old, and wore an over-the-knee blouse, with long sleeves, the skirt dragged all the way down to the ankles, and her little feet in white cloth shoes were visibly wrapped. The thick black hair parted to the sides and was combed into two braids behind the ears. She clutches a porcelain doll with a round face, the same hairstyle as its owner, and bright red lips.
Lily beckoned to her and said loudly, "Hello." β
The boy was motionless, alert, ready to flee.
"My name is Lily, what's your name?" After a while, Lily said, "Your toys are so fun." β
The boy clutched the porcelain doll tightly to his chest.
"Her hair is the same as yours."
The little girl looked closely at the porcelain doll.
"Can you show me the porcelain doll?" Lily beckoned her to come closer, but when she didn't get her way, Lily tried to get closer.
The little girl's eyes widened, she clung to the porcelain doll and fled with a surprising whirlwind.
Until the evening, Lily thought about the little girl, the big eyes, the pouting mouth, and the hair that was carefully parted to the sides. For Lili, she has never had a friend, and now her situation has changed, she thinks that this is the case, and this little girl will be the first?
Under the morning sun of Hexi, Lili was playing Tai Chi and looking around from time to time, but she was disappointed not to see the little girl, which made her a little listless. But after a while, when she turned around, she saw the little girl again.
This time she wore a headscarf on her head, did not hold a toy, and her little hands were shrunk in her long sleeves, and she was out of sight.
"Why didn't you take the porcelain doll today?" Lily asked quickly, with a surprise in her heart, as if they had already acquainted yesterday.
"Keep it at home."
"I see." Lili paused, "Does the porcelain doll have a name?" β
The little girl shook her head.
"What's your name? Do you know what my name is? β
"Lilly."
"You have a good memory, can you talk to me a little longer?"
The little girl shook her head, but did not walk away.
"Where do you live? Did you just move in? β
A sleeve with a small hand was raised, and he pointed somewhere.
"But I don't know what your name is?"
After a pause, the little girl timidly replied, "Yulian." β
Lily blinked, as if wondering if the name was good, and then smiled and said, "Yes, I like this name." β
The little girl regained her vigilance, as if she was bewildered by the color of Lily's eyes.
"Will you come to see me tomorrow? I'll be happy. I've got a big doll, it's beautifulβ" Lily took a step forward and gestured with her hand.
The little girl misunderstood what she meant, turned and ran, floating away like a ball of pink silk.
The feeling of loss filled Lili's heart again, and she sighed with a heaviness that was not commensurate with her age, and slowly turned around to see Chen Wenqiang walking over with a smile.
"Very cute little girl." Chen Wenqiang said with a smile: "Tomorrow you bring a rag doll, oh, you can also bring fruits, such as an orange." You can say that the oranges are too big for one person to eat, and ask her to help them eat. β
"I-" Lili didn't know when Chen Wenqiang came back last night, and she didn't know why she still wanted to say her heart to Chen Wenqiang after such a long time, "I've never had a friend, and I really hope she can be my friend." β
"You're going to have friends, many, many." Chen Wenqiang touched Lili's hair and said gently: "A long time ago, when I was studying abroad, I was like you, I longed for friends who could talk and play, but there was none. Those foreigners didn't want to approach me because I was yellow-skinned and black-eyed, and even discriminated against and gave me white eyes. But I'm not discouraged, I'm not disappointed. I studied hard and tried my best to put knowledge in my head, because that might be the only way to change their attitude. Now, as you can see, I have been changed because of my hard work, and foreigners have to convince me of my ability, and they have to praise me for saving thousands of lives, and they have to look up to me. β
Lily blinked her blue eyes and shook her head slightly, "I don't understand. β
"Huh." Chen Wenqiang smiled slightly and patiently explained: "Taking the initiative to find friends is a way, and it is also a way to make yourself excellent and attract others to be your friends." If the former doesn't work, try the latter. Didn't Aunt Feng tell you the story of the Monkey King, you can tell it to her, the children like that monkey, right? β
"Maybe she's already heard about it!" Lily's eyes lit up, but she refused to admit that it was a good idea.
"It doesn't matter, no matter how many books the Monkey King has, the children won't be disgusted." Chen Wenqiang smiled and patted her little head, "Go back to dinner, I'll bring you the villain book in the evening." β
"I want lots and lots of villain books." Lili pulled Chen Wenqiang's sleeve as if reminded.
Chen Wenqiang smiled and nodded, made an OK gesture, and walked out of the courtyard.
Friends, Lily needs friends of the same age, which is a beneficial factor for a child's healthy growth. Chen Wenqiang is actually not good at how to please a child as big as a little girl, and he doesn't expect Lili to really understand his somewhat esoteric words.
But a small suggestion may be useful, after all, it is not something that Chen Wenqiang can decide. And friend, he is going to see now, to be exact, comrade.
