This year, Chubei Province suffered from the same freezing rain and snow disaster weather as in 08 years, Mei Youyuan's family returned to their hometown in Baimei County, and they have been staying at home, and the little ingots Mei Xiaoyuan and Xiao Xi Mei Zhixi almost didn't go out to play.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there is no night market to visit, no lantern festivals, no fireworks in the square, the children are bored to death, lying on the window every day in a daze to watch the rain, or playing badminton in the empty living room, so boring.

Seeing his daughters so low, Dad Mei Fang thought of a way to make the children happy-

He taught Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xixi to play video games together.

Given that her daughters are still young, the game is still very difficult for her to operate.

So, Mei Fang decided to take her daughters to play Super Mario Party together.

It's a game of Monopoly where four people play chess together, where everyone moves around the board by rolling the dice.

Collect all the gold coins to reach the target points where you can buy stars, exchange them for party stars, the operation is simple and the goal is clear, even a six-year-old can easily understand and get started.

As each character moves, a variety of random events occur that affect the situation on the board.

Of course, the most interesting thing is the party mini-game at the end of each round, there are nearly 100 mini-games to play, there are more somatosensory games, catching popcorn, pole climbing competition, water gun battle, boomerang competition, various games are very interesting to interact.

Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi, who experienced this kind of new things for the first time, quickly fell in love with this game under the guidance of their father, and pestered their father to play with them every day.

"Come with us, Daddy—let's party!"

"Today I'm going to sit in my father's arms and play!"

"However, the game of four people, which has always been played by the three of us, is not so interesting...... Right? ”

Under Mei Fang's guidance, Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi set their eyes on Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, who were preparing a meal.

"Mother Yuan, Mother Xi! Come and play with us! ”

"Huh...... Really, really want to call us? ”

Xia Yuan scratched his face a little embarrassed, "Although moms really want to play with you, but we are different from dad, I won't release water if I play with you, and if you lose ugly, mom is worried that you will be beaten and cried." ”

"Really!"

Xiao Yuanbao looked very elated, "I have never been beaten and cried by my mother and my mother, I really want to experience it!" ”

"Ahhh

Xia Yuan's expression suddenly became serious.

Our education is missing!

The two children have grown up in honey pots since they can remember, and they have been loved by thousands of people, and they have almost never encountered any setbacks.

I didn't even feel what it was like to cry.

Today's children are so happy......

For example, Ah Fang used to be beaten by our parents because of peeing his pants, and he was beaten in front of so many children in kindergarten, not to mention how embarrassed he was at that time.

Xia Yuan puffed out his face and couldn't help but let himself tell this story, after all, Ah Fang cared very much about his image as a great father in front of the children.

However, as a good mother, Xia Yuan thinks that she can't watch this kind of thing happen, she must give them a little frustration education, so that they can understand the cruelty of the adult world-

"Okay, when I wash my hands, I'll play with you!"

Xia Yuan rolled up her sleeves and was eager to try, Lin Youxi on the side looked at her with a smile and was ready to fight, at this time Mei Fang came over and asked softly to Lin Youxi's side:

"Yes, do you want to play together? I'll let you play. ”

"I don't need to...... Don't you know me yet? ”

Lin Youxi punched Mei Fang wink, and Mei Fang also smiled knowingly:

"Haha...... That's just as well. ”

Lin Youxi took Mei Fang's hand and whispered in his ear:

"Speaking of which, we started playing games when we were about the same age, right? I remember you've been playing those games since you had a computer at home......"

"By the way, I watched you play a game at your house, it should be "Legends"?"

"You remember it so clearly...... I was really good when I was a kid. ”

"Because that's my first time playing a game, even if it's just a keyboard for you to bother you......"

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were reliving the good memories of the past here, when the little ingots suddenly shouted:

"Daddy, come and play! Mother Yuan is going to snatch your favorite Warrio away! ”

The little ingots shouted at Mei Fang, and Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang's back and urged him to play with the children.

——

At the end of the game, Xia Yuan, who worked very hard, worked very hard to get the last place.

"How, how so!"

"I obviously have the number of stars at the time of settlement...... How did it become the countdown at the time of the awards! ”

"Don't be discouraged, Mom, this game is like this...... In addition to grades, it depends on whether you use props or not, Mother Yuan just likes to save things too much, if it were me, I would use those props! ”

"Mother, don't, don't be discouraged, originally my father and I were also in the back at the beginning......"

Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi were busy coaxing Yuan's mother to tell her not to be sad, but Xia Yuan quickly cheered up and shouted to find a place in the next one.

In this way, everyone played a lot of games in a row, and the ranking of the game was generally at the bottom of Xia Yuan and Mei Fang, and the number of times that Xiao Yuan won the first place was more.

"Little ingots are really amazing! You're probably the most talented person in our family! Maybe a once-in-a-century gaming genius! ”

The little ingots gradually crossed their waists under the praise of their father, looking very proud, just like the posture that her mother usually poses.

"It's great every time I play!"

Xia Yuan hugged Xiao Xixi and kissed him, "I found that Xiao Xixi can always get the first place in those games that test his eyesight, do you have any unique secrets?" Can you teach your mother? ”

Yuan's mother's encouragement made the originally somewhat lost little Xixi suddenly lift his spirits:

"Well, that's all it takes......"

Lin Youxi is often the one who sits next to her father and watches at this time, she will serve tea and pour water from time to time, prepare snacks and fruits, and then remind Xiao Yuanbao and Da Yuanbao not to get too close to the TV.

But a doubt arose in the mind of the little ingots at this moment:

Xi's mother just watches everyone play every time, and she doesn't play, can she be happy like that?

In the eyes of the children, Lin Youxi always looks gentle and considerate, but he always plays the role of a bystander, and it is difficult to have fun with them.

Although of course I can feel that Xi's mother loves her very much, Xiao Yuanbao always feels that she and Xi's mother are not as close as her mother.

If only my mother could play with us!

I'm looking for activities that Mom can incorporate and enjoy her time with us!

Little Ingot thought to himself.

Well......

Dad must have a good idea.

Let's go talk to Dad first!

Little Ingot carried Kamen Rider Exid's invincible player figure to his parents' big bedroom to discuss with his father, and saw his father Mei Fang using his mobile phone behind his back.

So Xiao Yuanbao put the figure aside, tiptoed over, and then hugged Mei Fang's neck and shouted:

"Daddy, Daddy! What are you doing! ”

Mei Xiaoyuan noticed the bright and beautiful picture on her father's mobile phone screen, and her eyes suddenly lit up-

Yes, it's a cute and cute sparkling cake!

Xiao Yuanbao's mouth opened wide in surprise, "Who is going to celebrate his birthday, Dad actually sneaked it over, didn't tell me in advance!" ”

"It's Xi's mother!"

Mei Fang scratched Xiao Yuanbao's little nose, "When I was preparing for a birthday party for Xi's mother, didn't I go through it every year before, and you forgot it?" ”

Mei Xiaoyuan suddenly pouted embarrassedly: "No, I haven't forgotten!" I remember Xi's mother's birthday every year, and I plan to prepare a birthday gift for Xi's mother this year! ”

"Huh? Birthday Gifts...... Really? What do you want to give your mother? ”

The little ingot's expression gradually became aggrieved under the gaze of his father Mei Fang:

"I'm sorry, Dad...... I—I just lied. ”

Xiao Yuanbao immediately admitted his mistake, "I actually don't remember Xi's mother's birthday." ”

"It's okay, at least you remember now, don't you?"

Mei Fang smiled and touched Xiao Yuanbao's head, "It's too late to prepare a birthday gift now, and there is still a week." ”

"Uh-huh...... Good! ”

Xiao Yuanbao grabbed the corner of his clothes and looked at Mei Fang, "I, I want to prepare a ...... for my mother She will receive a special and happy birthday present! ”

No matter what you give to your mother, she will be very happy if she loves you so much.

But Mei Fang can't directly talk to the children about these truths, and she must guide her to think on her own, so that the children can grow......

Although Xiao Yuanbao is only six and a half years old, he has super executive ability, and immediately told Xiao Xixi about his mother's birthday in a few days.

"I'm different from you, I remember my mother's birthday......"

Xiao Xixi lowered her head and muttered, Xiao Yuanbao knew her sister's state too well, because she was also in this state in front of her father.

"You can't lie, Mother Yuan said, lying children will be taken away by the big bad wolf at night."

"I'm not afraid of the big bad wolf! Anyway, my dad will definitely protect me. ”

Xiao Xixi is very confident in his father Mei Fang, but his voice is also quieter as he speaks:

"Well, that, I don't actually remember my mother's birthday...... I don't remember my mother's either. Obviously, before every birthday, my mothers always prepare birthday gifts for me, and I feel very sorry for my mothers. ”

Little Ingot patted his sister's arm, "It's okay, now we all remember, next time we write it down in the notebook, we won't forget it!" ”

Xiao Xixi nodded, and then looked at Xiao Yuanbao, "Sister Yuanbao, what birthday gift are you going to give to Xi's mother?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, it's not a few days before Xi's mother's birthday, so let's just prepare for Xi's mother together!"

"Good!"

So, the sisters began to think about the gifts that their mother would like.

Xi's mother usually likes books, likes to cook by herself, and likes to cook food.

"So, how about we send a book to Xi's mother?"

Xiao Yuanbao proposed: "Xi's mother likes to read us fairy tale picture books, and we will send a favorite picture book to Xi's mother!" ”

Xiao Xixi shook his head, "Well, Sister Yuanbao, in that case, I want Xi's mother to read it to us, it's not like Xi's mother's birthday gift." ”

"Hmm...... It really was like a gift from ourselves. That's- hmm...... That's right! ”

Xiao Yuanbao raised his hand high, "Let's prepare a dish for Xi's mother!" Just like the one in kindergarten, how about doing it in a cooking competition? ”

"But Dad is preparing for a birthday party, and Mom has a very small appetite, so it won't be good if she eats too much!"

"That's right!"

Xiao Yuanbao nodded, "Mother Xi always likes to watch us eat, saying that she will be full when she watches us eat." ”

"So, what's better to send my mother......

Xiao Yuanbao didn't have any ideas, "I feel like giving these things as birthday gifts, Xi's mother can guess it." ”

If you can guess, you can't be a surprise!

Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xixi have been very distressed recently.

However, the two of them have always gotten together to discuss things recently, and Xia Yuan soon discovered their intentions.

It turned out that I was preparing a birthday gift for Youxi!

Xia Yuan couldn't wait to join the children's plans, "Qiang Qiang! Mother Yuan knows what you're doing! Are you preparing for your mother's birthday present? ”

"If you want to prepare a birthday gift for your mother, do you want to listen to your mother's advice?"

Xia Yuan smiled and shook his fingers, "I've been giving birthday gifts to my mother every year since you were so old!" ”

"That、What did Yuan's mother give when she was a child-woo-woo-"

"Shhh

The little ingots covered Xiao Xixi's mouth, and then leaned into her ears and conspired loudly with her:

"If only Mother Yuan discussed it with us! Yes! ”

The little ingots gave Xiao Xixi a look and kept blinking.

"Yes, yes!"

After seeing her sister's posture, Xiao Xixi suddenly seemed to understand something, and then nodded vigorously.

"What are you secretly discussing! What do you understand? ”

Xia Yuan said aggrievedly, "Why can't my mother's birthday gift be discussed with my mother?" ”

Little Ingot and Little Xixi looked at their mother with their hands behind their backs:

"Because! Mother Yuan sleeps with Dad and Mom every day, if we know what birthday gift we are going to give Mommy, I will definitely let Mom Xi know! ”

Xiao Xixi also nodded, "We want to surprise Xi's mother." ”

"Ahem, ahem...... It's okay not to consult with your mother, well, but, yes, but—"

Xia Yuan coughed a few times, thought about it, and looked at the two children with a blushing face:

"You can't talk to Daddy!"

"If you don't discuss with your mother, your mother will be really sad!"

Xiao Yuanbao hurriedly waved his hand and denied, "No, no, mother, if we don't discuss with you, we will naturally not discuss with Dad." ”

Xiao Xixi also nodded vigorously on the side, "We plan to work hard ourselves to find a birthday gift that can surprise Xi's mother." ”

Xia Yuan gradually perked up under the comfort of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Xixi, and then burst into a sweet smile:

"No, but this is also proof of the good relationship between dad and mom! Mom is happy that you think so...... Good boy, good boy. ”

Xia Yuan touched the heads of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Xixi, and said softly: "It's just that it's not enough to work your own, although it is inconvenient for Dad and Mother Yuan, but you can also discuss with someone who understands Xi's mother, and other people's suggestions may help you find inspiration for birthday gifts." ”

After listening to Xia Yuan's answer, Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi glanced at each other, and then fell into thought:

"In addition to Mother and Dad, who knows Mother Xi best?"

"yes, who is it?"

Xia Yuan smiled, "We are going to visit many relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, so let's take this opportunity to discuss with everyone, Mother Yuan will cover for you." ”

"Good, good! Thank you, Mom! ”

Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xixi continued to discuss the planning of the birthday gift-

You can't ask others directly what your mother likes about her birthday gift, because then she may know what they think in advance.

Moreover, if everyone forgets their mother's birthday like them, they will definitely be as sad as the two of them.

"That ......"

"Let's ask them about their mother's previous hobbies, preferably before we were born!"

"That's right, so my mother would never have guessed that we would know this, and she will be very pleasantly surprised by the birthday gift prepared like this!"

So, Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xixi followed their parents to visit relatives and friends, and started their birthday gift battle-

Xi's mother's parents must know very well what Xi's mother likes!

"Xi's mother's biggest hobby before should be studying!"

Grandma Liang Meijuan's thick pile of New Year's money was desperately stuffed into the red envelope, "Her school grades are amazing!" I study very hard, and I often study until I go to bed at 11 o'clock at night. ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xi Xi were very surprised, "Xi's mother usually tells us that we have to go to bed before nine o'clock, otherwise we won't grow up!" ”

"This, this is different, we are talking about Xi's mother when she was in high school, and Xi's mother has grown up at that time."

Grandpa Lin Guochuan hurriedly explained, "You still have to go to bed early!" ”

It turned out that Xi's mother used to be a top student who liked to study and went to bed late.

"Then she must hope that we can do well!"

Xiao Yuanbao was a little sweaty when he thought of this, "But I failed the math exam in the final exam, and my mother didn't blame me, telling me that if you don't like to study, you don't need to study, is it too late to work hard?" ”

Xiao Xixi thought for a while, "I think Sister Yuanbao can write a letter of guarantee and promise Xi's mother that she will pass the exam next time!" ”

"That's a great idea!"

Aunt Xinyi, Xi's mother's former tablemate, is Xi's mother's best friend, and she can also learn about Xi's mother's previous interests and hobbies.

"Xi, Xi, when Mom used to ...... Is it when you ask when you go to school? ”

"She was a very dull and simple girl at that time, and she couldn't do anything but study, speaking of which, it was really thanks to me at that time, otherwise-"

"Or what?" Xiao Xixi asked curiously.

Otherwise, there would be no small embarrassment.

Yue Xinyi shook her head with a smile, and just continued along the topic:

"Speaking of your mother's hobbies when she was in school, that's natural!"

“…… What is it? Little Ingot and Little Xi tilted their heads.

"It's a book full of dense words...... You see, it's like this! This is what your mother also likes to read. ”

Yue Xinyi found a book that had been treasured for many years to show the children, and the children looked at the cover, and then read it out:

"Rabbit...... No, eat ......."

"I don't have a picture, I don't even know these words, I'm so tired to watch!"

Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi gave up reading and writing, Xi's mother still likes to watch this kind of thing?

The mothers in their memories read to them with picture books.

There are a lot of cute little animals in picture books, only a lost word, and pinyin can be read.

But it looks like ......

Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xixi began to discuss:

"Xi's mother used to like to read dense words, we can use the New Year's money to go to the bookstore to buy the one recommended by Aunt Xinyi and give it to her."

Xi's mother used to say that when she was a child, she often played at her grandmother Xiang Xiaoxia's house.

So, grandma must know what interests and hobbies the former mother has!

Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi found their grandmother Xiang Xiaoxia.

"Youxi's previous hobbies......"

Xiang Xiaoxia held a granddaughter in one hand, "Your mother likes to study food, but you also know this." ”

"In that case, grandma will tell you about a mother when she was a child, right?"

"I want to hear it, I want to hear it!" Little Ingot and Little Xixi came over.

"Xi's mother actually hated eating fish when she was a child, and every time I made fish, she would secretly clip it to your dad while I wasn't paying attention, thinking that grandma didn't know——"

"I don't like to eat fish either, I'm a picky eater because I'm afraid of getting stuck in the bones."

Xiao Xixi muttered, "But, I see Xi's mother eating fish very happily......"

"That should be, I want to set an example for the two of you."

Xiang Xiaoxia stroked the children's heads, "Mother Xi must hope to be your role model." ”

Xiao Xixi thought for a while, "I also want to write a letter of guarantee to my mother to promise that I will not be picky eaters in the future, so that my mother will definitely like this gift very much." ”

When I came to my grandmother's house, I also wanted to visit Aunt Xiaoya!

When Aunt Xiaoya was playing with Xiao Yuanbao Xiao Xixi, she often boasted that her father and mother had grown up watching her since childhood.

Without Aunt Xiaoya's help, there would be no little ingots and little.

In this case, Aunt Xiaoya must know what Xi's mother liked before!

"Aunt Xiaoya, Aunt Xiaoya, let me ask you a question!"

Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xixi found Mei Ya who was tinkering with the live broadcast equipment in the room, and Mei Ya who was hugged by the children was also very happy.

"Ask, ask, as long as it's not asking me when I'll be able to find a boyfriend, I can answer you!"

Mei Yale pinched Xiao Xi's face, and then Xiao Yuan Bao took her arm and asked:

"Hmm...... So, do you know what your mother's hobbies were when she was a child? ”

"Your dad, of course!" Mayer replied.

"It's not human!" The little ingots hurriedly retorted.

"Okay, how can you say that your dad is not human!"

"I—We're asking ......"

Xiao Xi made a milky voice, "We want to know, does Mother Xi have any special hobbies in the past, which we don't know yet?" ”

"Hmm...... Let me think about ......"

What Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xi don't know, Xi Mother's hobbies.

It seems that these two children are planning something......

It's the black history of wanting to my mother, right?

Maya thought for a moment, then smiled mysteriously, "Your mother does have a special hobby, and that is—"

"That's—"

"Hide, Closet, Closet!"

"Hide, hide in the closet!"

Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi were shocked when they heard the news, "Why does Xi's mother like to hide in the closet!" ”

"yes...... Why? ”

Maya smiled, "If you don't guess, if you don't guess, my aunt will reward you!" ”

Thank you for helping me record a video of my New Year's greetings!

Little Ingot raised his hand, "Is Mom playing peek-a-boo?" ”

Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xixi glanced at each other.

"I can't imagine my mother peek-a-boo......"

"Yes, I ...... too"

"Mommy likes the security of the wardrobe?"

"That's not right, Xi's mother has been with her father for a long time, and she should be able to stick with her father."

"We can't think of it!"

Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xi had bitter faces.

At this time, Mei Ya smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't sell it anymore, in fact, Xi's mother likes to hide in the closet because——"

"She wants to stay at our house a little longer and play games with her dad!"

"Ahh

"Ahhh

"Mom, do you like to play games?"

Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xixi were shocked.

"That's right, your mother is a game genius, she is very good at playing any game, and when I was a child, I took my aunt and I together, and played a lot of games......"

Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi felt incredible when they heard Aunt Xiaoya's past experience of being taken to play games by Xi's mother.

On the way home, the children couldn't hold back the doubts in their hearts anymore, and ran to ask their mother Xia Yuan, who had been looking forward to them for a long time.

"Xi's mother used to like to play games, why don't you play now?"

"Hmm......" Xia Yuan thought for a moment, and then smiled:

"That'...... Of course, it's because Xi's mother has found something more interesting than playing games! ”

"What's more fun than playing a game?"

"What's more interesting than the game, of course—"

"I see!"

Xiao Xixi thought about it:

"Xi's mother used to like to study, but she wouldn't force us to study;"

"Xi's mother actually liked it very much, but she still accompanied us to read picture books;"

"Xi's mother didn't like to eat fish at all before, so she still hasn't been picky in front of us."

Xiao Yuanbao quickly understood what Xiao Xixi meant, "So, the more interesting thing than playing games is、It's us!" ”

Lin Youxi's birthday party was very simple, the family set up the venue, and the birthday cake was a blue-blue castle floating in the white soft clouds.

The little ones are very delicate and cute.

"Give it to Xi's mother! Happy birthday to Xi's mother! ”

After everyone sang the birthday song together, Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xixi handed over the birthday gift to Lin Youxi

In the painting, there is a scene of a family of five playing games together, each with a handle, and Lin Youxi sitting in the middle. There is also a computer on top of the painting, a full-score test paper, a table of steaming dishes, and a wardrobe.

"These gifts were prepared by the two of us together...... We asked a lot of people and thought of a lot of birthday gifts, and we felt that this one best expressed our thoughts! ”

Receiving the birthday gifts from the children, Lin Youxi was particularly pleasantly surprised, "Thank you for preparing such a beautiful birthday gift for your mother!" Mom was very happy. ”

Lin Youxi observed the birthday painting given to him, smiled and looked up and asked the children:

"But don't you...... Would you love to have your mom play games with you? ”

"Hmmm......"

Xiao Yuan Bao and Xiao Xixi glanced at each other, "Yes." ”

Xiao Yuanbao explained, "I heard that my mother is actually a game genius, and I wonder if my mother just watched us play because she wanted to be our role model. ”

"In addition to the game, we also want to do a lot of things with Xi's mother, just like the fate of the mother!" Xiao Xixi said with his hands behind his back.

Lin Youxi suddenly sighed with emotion, since the birth of the children, Lin Youxi's thoughts have been all on his family, and he has become accustomed to being a silent helper and observer behind the family.

After being reminded by the children, she realized that she had not thought about making herself happy for a long time.

Xia Yuan on the side also pulled her hand and encouraged her, "Xi's mother is a very good role model!" ”

"At least on your birthday, it's not impossible to be a carefree kid and play around like you used to, right?"

Mei Fang put his arm on Lin Youxi's shoulder and gently pinched it, and his voice was as gentle as ever.

So, with the encouragement of Mei Fang and Xia Yuan, Lin Youxi decided to integrate into the joyful atmosphere and played "Super Mario Party" with the children.

As a result, everyone was ruthlessly educated by Xi's mother.

"It turns out that Xi's mother is the real game genius!"

Little Ingot willingly gave up the name of the game genius to Xi's mother.

Suddenly I have some ideas to write, I wish you all a happy new year!
