Chapter 23: Face
In the living room, Xiaoqi is doing his homework.
Little waves swirled around beside him, small eyes staring at his pencil case.
Xiaoqi said: "What did Xiao Langhua look at? Cousin lends you to play. ”
Xiao Langhua shook her head: "I don't like to play cousin." ”
On another desk, Lang "poofed" and smiled: "Little Langhua, my cousin means that you have taken a fancy to something about him, and he lent you that thing to play with." ”
Xiao Langhua breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes smiled into two crooked crescents.
"I like that face." Xiao Langhua stretched out his finger and pointed to a small round mirror on the cover of the pencil case.
"It's a mirror." Xiao Qi happily took out the small mirror, handed it to Xiao Langhua, and instructed: "Be careful, don't break it, don't let your hand cut, don't bleed." ”
"Thank you, cousin, I see." Xiao Langhua thanked her obediently and ran to the kitchen happily with the small mirror.
"Grandma, grandma, I'll give you a face." Xiao Langhua held the mirror in his hand high.
Grandma looked down and was happy: "Little waves, this is a mirror, not a face." ”
Xiao Langhua laughed, ran back, and returned the mirror to Xiaoqi, "It's a mirror, not a face, don't want it." ”
……
……
For dinner, grandma baked cakes for the children.
Flour add water, in a basin and form into a dough.
The children gathered around the table, and each of them was given a piece of dough.
Grandma said while demonstrating: "Like me, press it into a round and thin, and when I put it in the pot and fry it, I will have delicious pastries to eat." ”
The face is round and thin.
Xiao Langhua's eyes lit up.
Her little hands pressed on the dough, and finally succeeded, she excitedly held the round dough and shouted: "Grandma, grandma, face, I will give you a face!" ”
Everyone laughed.
Grandma said: "Little Langhua, this is not face, this is bread." ”
Xiao Langhua tilted her head and asked, "Is the bread a face and a cake?" ”
Xiaoqi said: "The bread is the cake, not the face." ”
The mirror is not face, and the bread is not face, so what is face? Grandma said she wanted face.
Xiao Langhua was very distressed and sighed heavily: "What is that face?" I want to give my grandma a face! ”
Lang said: "Little Langhua, face is not a thing. ”
"Is it a person, then?" Xiao Langhua asked with a look of surprise.
Lang thought for a while and said, "Uncle went abroad, and grandma felt faced. ”
"My uncle delivered takeaways, and my grandmother felt faceless." Xiaoqi added.
"My brother won the first place in the guzheng competition, and my mother felt that she had face."
"My cousin was last in the class in the exam, and my parents felt shameless."
"Xiaoqi, did you get the last place in the exam?" Grandma exclaimed, "Wait a minute, let me beat you, and you will be able to score 100 points in the test." ”
Xiaoqi explained: "Grandma, I'm giving Xiao Langhua an example." ”
Lang immediately followed up with an example: "If my cousin is beaten by my grandmother, then my cousin will have no face." Little waves, do you understand? ”
Xiao Langhua seemed to understand, she used her little brain and asked, "Then what do I have to do to make grandma have face?" ”
Grandma said: "For example, Xiao Langhua eats to his heart's content, Xiao Langhua grows taller, Xiao Langhua doesn't cry when he gets up in the morning, goes to kindergarten obediently, doesn't eat junk food, and doesn't watch cartoons every day...... Grandma will have face. ”
It turns out that it's so difficult to have face.
Xiao Langhua lowered her eyebrows and said unhappily: "Grandma, grandma, why do you want to save face?" I don't think face is fun at all, I don't like face! ”
