Chapter 474: Xiao Yuan, who misses her father
Because the painting style of "Ice and Snow Magic" is pleasing, the plot is touching, and the theme song is also very popular, so this movie has not been released for more than a month in the United States and even Europe, and it has maintained a very high viewing popularity.
Jiang Xiaoyuan, who lives in an aunt's house in a city known for its large number of Asian immigrants on the west coast of the United States, was chatting with her classmates several times in the past few days when she was mentioned by them several times that she was recently taken by her family to watch a very good-looking cartoon.
The classmates were discussing the plot of the movie, and several female classmates also showed off the queen's crown or magic wand that their parents bought, which made Xiaoyuan, who had not seen the movie for a long time, feel a trace of envy.
It's been almost a year since her mother sent her aunt to the United States, and she still hasn't fully adapted to the living environment here, especially when she gets along with local classmates who are different from those introverted and lively local classmates, she feels a little difficult to fit in.
On the contrary, the language barrier is the easiest, after all, the years when she was born happened to be the most profitable years for her father Jiang Kan, she studied in a bilingual kindergarten, and the primary school is also an aristocratic school, so the first grade also has a good Mi language communication environment, and there is no delay in the study of foreign languages.
It's just that, after all, she came to a foreign country in the second grade of elementary school, even if it was her mother's sister's house, she still felt very unnatural, not as natural and comfortable as when she was with her parents when she was at home in Xia Guo.
Of course, her aunt and uncle-in-law are still very good to her, and the family house has arranged for her to have a separate small bedroom, so that she does not have to squeeze a room with her cousin.
For her care in life, the aunt and uncle-in-law are no different from treating their daughters, what the daughter eats and wears, Xiaoyuan wears and eats, because they are in the same school, so the aunt also personally drives the two little girls to school every day.
It's just that no matter how good my aunt and uncle-in-law are to herself, they are not as kind and natural as the feeling given to her by her biological parents, and whenever night falls, when the little girl lies alone on the warm little bed in the bedroom, she will still secretly miss her mother and father who are far away in the summer country.
"Your father is not a good person, his ability is not very good, but he is ambitious, he was disliked by the company early, and he didn't hurry up to find a job, so he had to open a store in the community, and he was embarrassed, and even later became a self-media and went crazy and wanted to sing and become an Internet celebrity, which simply lost the face of the eighteenth generation of their Jiang family!"
"Xiaoyuan, you have to study hard in the United States, and when you grow up, you will stay there and find a decent job to marry a capable husband, don't repeat your mother's bitterness over the years, you know?" These were the last words that Xiaoyuan's mother said to her when she saw her off at the airport.
After giving Xiaoyuan enough tuition and living expenses for the future until she graduated from high school, Jiang Xiaoyuan - I don't know why, her mother didn't change her name to the same as herself, and still retained Jiang Kan's surname - was brought to the United States by her aunt and lived with them until now.
In the past year, she and her mother have only talked on the phone a few times, and she has used her aunt's phone to call her mother's number several times, and I don't know why she can't get through.
At first, every few days, her mother called and asked if she was doing here.
Later, it was only a week or two before a phone call came. Later, it was only once a month or two, and even once she heard a strange man's voice talking to her on the phone.
Afterward...... It's been two months now, and my mother hasn't called, and I don't know what she's busy with, why can't she even squeeze out a few minutes of time to make a phone call for herself...... When she left, her mother also warned herself not to contact that man again, saying that a man who did not dare to take responsibility was not worthy of being her father.
But Xiaoyuan's little head doesn't think so, how happy she is when her father is with her, she can ride a horse on her father's tall shoulders, she can be carried by her father on his back and turn in circles, when she is unhappy, she can be held in her arms by her father to cry and coquettish, she will buy anything she wants to eat, as long as her father feels healthy, she will buy it, and when her mother is playing mahjong with her neighbors at home and has no time to play with her, her father will take her to the zoo to see pandas, elephants, lions and tigers...... But why did such a good father become a heinous bad guy in his mother's mouth?
I see that my father is also good to my mother, all kinds of jewelry, jewelry, cosmetics and bags are not less for her to buy, housework is done by my father, my mother just eats, makes, buys, and plays cards every day, why is my mother a good person, and my father has become a bad person?
Shouldn't she be like her mother who doesn't work or do housework, and bullies her father to let her buy this and that, so that she can be considered a good woman?
Xiaoyuan, who is still young and less than eight years old, has often thought in confusion in the past few years. Although my mother has been saying bad things about my father in front of me, how do I feel that my father is actually a good person and not as bad as my mother said?
She had also asked her aunt these questions. But after hearing her questions, the aunt only showed her incomprehensible smile and look, stroked her hair affectionately, and told her kindly: "You are still a child, it doesn't matter if you don't understand some things, and when you grow up, you will gradually know how to judge these things." ”
"Really? Well, when Xiaoyuan grows up, I'll ask my mother and dad who are the good guys and who the bad guys! The little guy didn't really understand very well, but she nodded to her aunt very sensibly, and replied in a voice that still had some milk.
But today, she was Amway several times by her classmates, and when she got out of school, she was dazzled by the queen crown on the head of a good female classmate in the next class, so she planned to go home and ask her aunt if she could take her to see this movie too.
"Oh? Xiaoyuan, do you want to watch "Ice and Snow Magic"? It just so happens that my colleague is also recommending this animated movie to me these days, so I'll take you and Judy to watch it this weekend! "Auntie is in a good mood today, it seems that she has been praised by the leader in the company or what, and she agreed to the little girl's request in one bite, which makes her feel very happy, and the little depression and homesickness in the recent period have been diluted a lot by the shining queen crown.
"By the way, speaking of which, this movie has something to do with your father~" At dinner, my aunt was cooking in the restaurant.
The two little girls were doing their homework at a desk, and the uncle-in-law Kent next to them was sorting out his fishing gear, and when he heard his daughter and niece talking about this topic, he couldn't help but say a word.
"Huh? Have some connection with my dad? Uncle Kent, can you tell me more about it? I want to know this! Xiao Yuan's ears immediately pricked up when she heard this, and she turned her head to look at this blonde, blue-eyed, tall and strong Uncle Mi Guo.
"Ahem, how can I say that I leaked my mouth, your aunt won't allow me to tell you this......" Kent was a little stunned, but quickly relieved himself, and touched the back of his head with his hand a little embarrassed.
Seeing that his daughter was also looking at him with burning eyes with her niece, with a gossipy and curious look, he knew that if he didn't explain this matter clearly today, his lovely daughter would definitely not let him go easily.
"I'll tell you about this, but don't tell the woman in the kitchen!" Kent looked in the direction of the kitchen, and after making sure that there was no danger, he cleared his throat and told the two little girls about the relationship between the film and Jiang Kan.
"What? You said that the theme song of this movie is the song "Letitgo" that everyone knows in the streets and alleys, and all the girls are singing, was composed by my father? Xiao Yuan opened her big good-looking eyes wide, and looked at this simple and simple foreign uncle, wanting to get a positive answer from him.
This news is too violent, many students are humming this song, especially female classmates, they all fantasize that they can have the magic that can control ice and snow, they can have their own ice palace, they can have a handsome boy who dares to take risks for themselves, and the beautiful voice of the heroine can sing this beautiful song that is popular among the people.
Now, my brother-in-law actually told himself that the author of this song was his father? For a moment she didn't know whether to fill her heart with pride or doubt, but then she was filled with the happiness of hearing from her father, eager to hear more about him.
"Yes, yes, I also like this song but I don't have time to go to the cinema to watch it, and then when a colleague in the company discussed it, they mentioned that the theme song of this movie was selected from all over the world, and then a Xia Guoren surnamed Jiang got this award."
"Because you are also surnamed Jiang, I was curious to check this Xia Guo man, but I didn't expect that I found out that he is a singer and songwriter who has just become a star in Xia Kingdom!" Uncle Kent shrugged his shoulders and continued his words, as if the subject had piqued his interest in gossip.
And the two little girls also sat upright and listened carefully to what he said.
"Then I went to check the song written by this Jiang, and then I started with a call
The website of "Flying Star Music Network" saw a large number of downloads of his songs, along with a brief introduction to his career as a singer. ”
"It's all some very good songs, maybe you still don't understand it, but for adults, many songs are very good, which makes me even more interested in him!" Uncle Kent gathered up his fishing rod and line while chatting with the two little girls who had put down their pencils and workbooks and listened intently to him, about the treasure singer he had stumbled upon.
Then I was surprised to find that this Mr. Jiang was also the author of the piano piece "To the Original tA", which caused a sensation in the world before! This made me even more excited, so I went to a few entertainment websites and searched for things about his past, wanting to see who this guy who was already forty years old and debuted like me was! Kent stopped what he was doing, looked up at the ceiling, and shrugged helplessly.
"Then I found out that this guy turned out to be a real genius, he only started making music at the age of forty, and he has already become a star singer in Xia Kingdom, and he is quite good in terms of creation, and many singers who have been famous for a long time have come to him to invite him to ......"
"Even, even the theme song of the same name of one of my favorite animated films in Fuso, "Castle in the Sky", was created by him, he is really a musical, out-and-out genius!"
"Then, I became more interested in him, and I went to look up all the news about him, or gossip and gossip."
"I saw on a website about his experience: unemployed at the age of thirty-seven, kicked by a money worshipper, not only robbed most of the family property that had been secretly accumulated over the years, but also plotted to steal the custody of his daughter......" Speaking of this, Kent's gaze became a little complicated, and his tone was a little slower, although the two little girls were still young, they could still hear a sense of pity for this poor man from his words.
"I thought about it, isn't this exactly what happened to you like Xiaoyuan? Your father was also forced to divorce by your mother, and then snatched away the family property and custody, but sent you to study in the United States, plus he is also surnamed Jiang ...... "Kent."
"Alas" sighed a long sigh and shook his head helplessly and sadly.
"Isn't this your dad, so, boy, I'm sorry for what happened to you and your dad, he didn't deserve to be treated like that—and of course I'm lucky my wife wasn't the worst woman she was with her sister......"
"Hey, what I'm talking to an eight-year-old girl, you don't necessarily understand it now......" He rubbed the back of his head and neck with a complicated expression, and put the rod that had been tidied up and the untied line into his precious fishing tackle box.
The door closed with a "click".
"Kent, dinner is ready, bring the kids over! What are you talking to them about? Zhang Xiaoping's voice came from the kitchen, her tone was a little hurried, but there was no impatience in it, on the contrary, there was a trace of the wife's coquettishness and charm to her husband.
"Let's go, children, have dinner, forget what I just said, and don't tell anyone about it, you will be very happy and happy with us, my little princess." He touched Xiaoyuan's soft and fluffy hair, looked at her dotingly, then turned around and put his hand on his daughter's shoulder, and accompanied the two girls to the egg-scented dining room.
This chapter...... How to say it, I kind of want to cry when I write and write myself. Irresponsible parents, both men and women, escape the bitterness of life and just want to enjoy the sweetness brought by each other, both men and women.
I once met a child whose father was mute, and his mother abandoned the family when he was three years old and ran away to Henan, where he was raised by his father.
I have also seen a child, the mother gave birth to him for three months, the father left their mother and son, divorced and lived alone, and the mother worked hard to raise the child.
From life is higher than life, I hope that in my book, Xiaoyuan, a child, can finally be happy.
