Chapter 42: The Little Girl Grows Up
After sending his sister away, Deng Xia was depressed for several days. Wan'er said aggrievedly in front of Deng Zixuan: "My daughter is not close to me at all, since Deng Hua left, she has been sullen, I asked her and didn't say anything." It is said that mother and son are connected. But I feel like my daughter is estranged from me. After Wan'er finished speaking, her eyes were a little red. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Xia Zi was born with her grandmother, and later Xiaohong took her again, it's normal not to be close to you, it's just because of the lack of communication between you." ”
"What do you say? Seeing my daughter's depressed appearance, I was very uncomfortable! Wan'er wiped her tears. Yes! We give our daughter too little love, and we want her to know that we are the closest and most caring people to her. Let's do it, tomorrow is Sunday, our family of three went to Xiangshan to play, the girl came to our side, we have to compensate her more, the girl's physical and mental health is the most important. "It's cold, and I'm not necessarily happy to go to Xiangshan Xiazi!" Wan'er disagreed. "I don't know if I'm happy until I go, so it's decided."
Early the next morning, Xia Zi timidly came to Deng Zixuan and said, "Daddy, do you have something to do with me?" Deng Zixuan smiled and said: "Xia Zi, you have been in the capital for a few days, and your father has not been with you, today our family of three went to Xiangshan to play, are you willing?" Xia Zi's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Daddy, is this true?" "Of course it's true, how could Daddy lie to you? Go eat right away, and leave after dinner! ”
Deng Zixuan insisted on being accompanied by four guards, and Wan Chuan had no choice but to secretly arrange police protection along the way. After the family of three finished breakfast, they left for Xiangshan. The three carriages left the capital and went straight to their destination. A family of three sat in the middle carriage, with guards sitting in the front and rear carriages. Wan Chuan also replaced the driver with a guard. Invisibly, the guards became 7 people. The speed of the Western carriage is fast, and the journey of more than 50 miles can be reached in two hours.
Count nine cold days. There are almost no tourists in Xiangshan, and it seems very quiet. When you come to the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, you can look at the majestic mountains covered with snow, which can be described as a unique scenery. Natsuko had never left the city of Shanghai, and when she saw the snow-covered mountains, she couldn't help but get excited. "Natsuko, do you dare to climb up!" Xia Zi nodded and said, "Daddy can climb up." I'll be able to climb up! After Xia Zi finished speaking, he took the lead and climbed Xiangshang.
"Seeing my daughter so happy, I feel happy all over my body!" Wan'er said happily. The mountain trail is twists and turns, and the climb is half the way. Deng Zixuan walked to the front, and his perennial insistence on exercising played a role, Deng Zixuan's face did not change and his heart did not beat. Although Wan'er exercises every day, it is far from behind after all. Natsuko passed through this formation. Tired staggering. "Natsuko. Come and hold Mom's hand. Wan'er said distressedly. Xia Zi didn't take her mother's hand, but stepped forward to hold Deng Zixuan's arm. Seeing her daughter getting close to her father, Wan'er was a little melancholy.
When resting in Lang Fengbei, Wan'er whispered jealously: "Zixuan, what kind of magic do you use to make your daughter close to you" "It's really useless, eat your daughter's vinegar." I'm telling you that this is called opposites attracting, and generally daughters are close to their fathers. The sons are close to their mothers. Wan'er sighed and said: "Weishenme is not giving birth after I have a daughter, it would be nice to have a son!" "Be careful not to let your daughter hear. Otherwise you'll be even more depressed! ”
Climbing to the top of the West Mountain, Xia Zi looked at the thousands of mountains and ravines, and said with a red face: "Daddy, the scenery is so spectacular!" Deng Zixuan suddenly remembered Qin Yuanchun? Snow, I couldn't help blurting out: "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of frost, thousands of miles of snow drifting, looking at the inside and outside of the Great Wall, but reckless." Up and down the river, all of a sudden. Mountain dance silver snake, original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test, must be sunny, look at the red makeup, extraordinarily enchanting, the country is so delicate, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. Pity the Qin Emperor Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style, Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, slightly inferior coquettish, a generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only know how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle, all in the past, a few romantic figures, but also look at the present dynasty. ”
Wan'er opened her eyes excitedly and said, "Zixuan, do you still know how to recite poetry?" This poem is magnificent, showing the demeanor of a generation of kings. "Daddy's writing is amazing!" Natsuko also applauded. Deng Zixuan said in a deep voice: "This is not a poem I chanted, it is someone else's work, I like it very much." "Daddy, I also like this poem, there is a man's true character in the word, I will copy it down when I get home." After Xia Zi finished speaking, he imitated his father and shook his head and chanted again.
Deng Zixuan was a little surprised, feeling that his daughter had a super memory. Deng Zixuan asked, "Xia Zi, how is my sister and you have a better memory?" "We're pretty much indistinguishable from each other!" "What kind of knowledge does your sister like?" "My sister likes Gewu!" "What do you like?" "I love medicine, and I want to be a female doctor in the future to relieve people's pain." Xia Zi swears. "Good girl, ambitious, I support you!" "Daddy, you're so nice!" Xia Zi affectionately grabbed Deng Zixuan's arm again.
Seeing this scene, Wan'er looked a little dazed, and turned around and told the guards to prepare for food. Deng Zixuan asked thoughtfully: "Xia Zi, to be honest with your father, do you have an opinion about your mother?" Natsuko bowed her head and said nothing. Deng Zixuan said earnestly: "Xia Zi, my mother is not by your side, it is because of me. Daddy shouldered the mission, and for the sake of this country, he had to abandon his children's affection. Your mother can't stay with you because of me. ”
Deng Zixuan took Xia Zi's hand and said, "Your mother is very kind, you have seen it in the past few days, how happy she is to see you." I'm not a good father because I rarely think of you. And how much your mother loves you, I know that she often wakes up in the middle of the night and misses you and cries, you have to learn to understand her. Natsuko looked up. Go ahead! When you are with your mother, you will feel the love of your mother. ”
Natsuko hesitated for a moment and slowly walked towards her mother. The guards lit the fire, and Wan'er was roasting and eating. Xia Zi walked to Wan'er's side and called her mother softly, tears couldn't help but flow out. Wan'er's nose was sore, and she hugged Xia Zi into her arms, and the mother and daughter cried with joy. Seeing this scene, Deng Zixuan felt very relieved, he turned around, and couldn't bear to spoil this moving scene.
After returning from Xishan, Xia Zi judged the two of them, and Wan'er was with her daughter for several days, and the relationship heated up rapidly. On this day, Wan'er took Xia Zi to the charity association, and she decided to let her daughter see the world. Xia Zi's height has surpassed Wan'er, but her figure looks much thinner and slender. Walking into the hall of the Charity Association, Zhang Zhidong's wife greeted him and said, "Madam, who is this beautiful little princess!" Wan'er said proudly: "It's my daughter!" ”
"Tsk! Moms are beautiful and daughters are even more beautiful, everyone come and see! Madame's daughter is here! Zhang Zhidong's wife shouted loudly, and suddenly all the ladies gathered around and began to praise him. Li Hongzhang's aunt said: "Madam, the princess is like your stand-in, carved out of a mold, and I don't know whose son-in-law will be so blessed in the future." The wives were open-mouthed, making Xia Zi's face flush with shame.
When I was in Shanghai, there were very few guests in the house. And Natsuko went to school in a poor school, and he didn't realize his status was prominent. Now that the stars are holding the moon, Xia Zi has seen such a formation. Natsuko's shyness and shyness made the wives praise even harder. Wan'er saw her daughter's restraint and helplessness, so she had to leave the charity association in a hurry. On the way home, Natsuko asked her mother, "Mother, why are they doing this to me?" ”
Wan'er smiled: "Because you are the president's daughter, you have to learn to face this kind of scene." You have no one to bother you in Shanghai, but in Beijing it is completely different, and you will be the center of attention wherever you go. "But I don't like this kind of life, I like to be free and uninhibited. Mother, I beg you not to reveal my identity when you go to school in the capital in the future. Looking at her daughter's clear eyes like water, Wan'er said lovingly: "I promise you!" ”
Deng Zixuan said happily after listening to Wan'er's narration: "My daughter has a normal heart when she grows up, which is very important for her life, and we have the obligation to let her live a peaceful life." When Natsuko grows up, you should respect her wishes, and in the future, you should not take her to public places to show off in the market, and give her equal and free rights. In addition, my daughter proposed to go to school without concealing her identity, and I also supported it. Xia Zi has grown up, not extravagant, not ostentatious, not vain, really grateful for Xiaohong's good education. ”
Deng Zixuan continued: "My daughter proposed to study medicine, you should strongly support it." This shows that Natsuko has a kind heart, so we have to take advantage of the situation rather than force her to do something. The new generation of women who are confident, self-reliant, and self-reliant start with our daughters. Wan'er said: "It seems that my daughter is used to a peaceful life, but my idea is wrong, I will pay attention to it in the future." Xia Zi is very smart, and Deng Zixuan decided to take time to instill advanced knowledge in her daughter, maybe her daughter can make a difference in the field she loves.
In the days that followed, Natsuko became more lively and cheerful. As long as Deng Zixuan returned home, he took time to spend with his daughter and instilled his profound knowledge in her. In his father, Xia Zi experienced not only fatherly love, but also a mentor and friend, and grew up happily. (To be continued......)
