Extra 8 Call Dad
"Hand over the jade seal?" Little Yunsheng laughed.
"How could I possibly carry it with me? If you have the ability, go find it yourself--"
Little Tingwan snorted and waved the fairy wand: "Let's go!"
Brother Xuyan pushed the cart and began to search everywhere.
Cheng Yunsheng put the hammer on the ground, sat on the roots of the tree, and sucked on the lollipop.
She dared to bet that her brother Yuzhi would find the other's jade seal before them.
Ah--my brother is the most powerful brother in the world! Yunsheng thought proudly.
When I was this age, I was quite stupid...
Cheng Yunsheng's thoughts drifted to the past.
*
Since she was born, little Yunsheng has never seen her father.
The family never mentioned her father, and Yunsheng had never even seen a photo of her father.
But her mother was very busy, busy filming, busy writing scripts, busy appearing on variety shows, busy writing novels, busy dealing with many things that sounded very impressive - Yunsheng once thought that her mother had a mysterious identity, something like Superman, Spiderman...
Grandma, grandpa, uncle and aunt have always taken good care of little Yunsheng.
At the age of three, little Yunsheng went to kindergarten.
Little Yunsheng is round and plump, with a pair of big eyes like black agate. Her smile seems to have magic, which can make people who see her smile feel that the air has become sweet. She has a sweet mouth and beautiful clothes (grandma and aunt have to fight over little Yunsheng's clothes and hairstyle every day--), although she is naughty sometimes, but she is very sensible, and she is serious when she should be serious.
How can people not like such a quirky and eloquent little girl?
As soon as she entered school, she became the most popular baby among all the teachers and children in the kindergarten.
On a sunny afternoon, when the kindergarten teacher was reading a picture book called "My Dad", she noticed that Xiao Yunsheng had a rare depressed look on her face.
After reading the picture book, the teacher took Xiao Yunsheng's hand and took her to the deserted edge of the playground garden, and asked softly: "Xiao Yunsheng, are you unhappy about anything? I hope you can talk to the teacher."
Xiao Yunsheng's mouth pursed: "...I, I'm fine."
The teacher asked again: "Do you miss your parents?"
The kindergarten teacher did not know Xiao Yunsheng's specific family situation.
She only knew that her parents were very busy at work, and Yunsheng's grandma and grandpa usually picked her up and took care of kindergarten-related matters.
Xiao Yunsheng sighed: "Yes, I miss my mother, but she is too busy at work. She always has no time to accompany me..."
"..."The teacher hesitated for a while and asked again: "What about your father?"
Xiao Yunsheng's delicate little face showed a distressing smile: "...Mom said that Dad went to a very far place."
"Where Dad is, I can't call or video call. He can't come back to see me, and I can't go to see him..."
"...At that time, I knew that my father was dead!"
"My mother and others treated me as a child. They were afraid that I would be sad after knowing the truth, so they coaxed me like this. I know it in my heart."
"...Teacher, I have been pretending not to know, just because I am afraid that my mother and others will feel sorry for me. So, please continue to keep it a secret for me——"
Xiao Yunsheng added. Don't mention how well-behaved and sensible.
It's like a huge iron claw, grasping the teacher's heart.
The teacher hugged Xiao Yunsheng in her arms and burst into tears: "It's okay, it's okay, we will love you well!"
From that day on, all the teachers in the kindergarten poured their love on Xiao Yunsheng.
In the villa area where Xiao Yunsheng lived with her grandparents, there were many retired old cadres and old entrepreneurs. Xiao Yunsheng often played in the community and got familiar with these old grandfathers and grandmothers who were basking in the sun.
Xiao Yunsheng successfully became the community's favorite.
Of course, everyone in the community also knew that the super cute Xiao Yunsheng had no father. Her father was dead.
Everyone agreed with Xiao Yunsheng not to mention Xiao Yunsheng's father at all - Xiao Yunsheng said that she would cooperate with her grandma, grandpa and mother so that they would not feel sorry for her.
Three months after Xiao Yunsheng entered the kindergarten, the Heji Society fell apart.
Jiang Qilan came back.
On that ordinary afternoon, after picking up Xiao Yunsheng, grandma did not return to Cheng's house, but went to the villa that Cheng Ling bought herself.
"Mom is back?" Xiao Yunsheng asked her grandmother.
Grandma nodded mysteriously.
After entering the house, Xiao Yunsheng saw a tall and handsome man - and her mother was holding his hand intimately!
"Xiao Yunsheng is back!" Mom said with a smile, "This is your dad, your dad is back! Don't stand there, call dad quickly -"
Xiao Yunsheng: !!!
She knew this day would come!
Mom is so young and beautiful, so many people like her... Mom will find a stepfather for herself sooner or later...
However, Xiao Yunsheng didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
Xiao Yunsheng looked back helplessly and found that her grandmother had left at some point.
She had to turn around and look at the man.
- He was tall and handsome, and in the hand that was not holding her mother's, he was carrying several large bags: all of them were the latest children's toys.
He looked very excited and nervous.
He stared at her without blinking, and didn't dare to speak, as if he was afraid of scaring herself.
This uncle and mom look very good together, but...
Xiao Yunsheng said softly: "Mom, can I call him uncle first?"
Cheng Ling smiled for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Why?"
Xiao Yunsheng held the hem of her clothes with her fingers and said sadly: "Because, he is not my father. My father is already dead..."
Jiang Qilan:......
Cheng Ling looked at Xiao Yunsheng and suddenly understood. The next moment, she laughed so hard that she burst into tears: "Hahaha...silly girl! I said your father is on a business trip far away, so you can't make phone calls." Do you think I’m prevaricating you or lying to you when I’m making a video call?”
Xiao Yunsheng touched his head and said "Ah" in a naive manner.
Cheng Ling bent down, took her hand and said: "Your father's job is very dangerous and must be kept strictly confidential. When you were young, I was afraid that if you were not sensible and revealed the news, your father might be in danger, so it was very difficult for him to do so. Don’t mention anything about your dad.”
Xiao Yunsheng asked: "...then my surname is Cheng, not because my father is dead, but to keep it secret, right?"
Cheng Ling gave a thumbs up: "Our little Yunsheng is very smart."
"But," Xiao Yunsheng suddenly became nervous, "——Now tell me, what if I accidentally say it out?"
"Because your father's work is completed. There is no need to keep this matter secret anymore." Cheng Ling explained.
Xiao Yunsheng confirmed with her mother again in a whisper: "...Is he really my father? His biological father?"
"Yes. He is your father."
After getting the affirmative answer, Xiao Yunsheng timidly raised his head and looked at Jiang Qilan.
The father and daughter looked at each other wordlessly for a while, until Xiao Yunsheng raised his fleshy little hand and waved towards Jiang Qilan.
Jiang Qilan nervously took a step forward, stopped half a meter away from her daughter, and then half-knelt down, looking at her daughter's level.
Xiao Yunsheng looked at his father's appearance carefully - this father is really handsome!
She was satisfied.
So, she opened her arms and said in a sweet voice: "Dad, lift it high!"
She has seen many children acting coquettishly with their father like this - although mother can also lift her high (she can even lift her as a dumbbell), father and mother are different.
Hearing his daughter call him "Dad", Jiang Qilan's heart almost boiled with joy.
He lifted his daughter high above his head, lowered it, and raised it again.
Xiao Yunsheng burst into laughter as joyful as a silver bell.
Cheng Ling folded her arms and stood behind, looking at Jiang Qilan's red eyes with a smile - her daughter hadn't cried yet, but Jiang Qilan, the father, was about to burst into tears.
After lifting more than a dozen times, Cheng Ling reached out to take Xiao Yunsheng, gave Jiang Qilan some time to wipe his tears, and said to Xiao Yunsheng:
"Now, I can tell you more."
"Grandpa Jiang is actually your biological grandfather. Grandma Yue is your biological grandmother."
"Uncle Qiyun is your father's brother and your uncle, and Aunt Li Sai is your biological aunt."
"Brother Xuyan, he is your cousin."
Xiao Yunsheng was stunned.
Her personal network was broken and reorganized.
——Of course, she kept saying "Dad is dead" everywhere, and everyone laughed for many years.
At that time, Cheng Ling was also pregnant with a baby.
That is her younger brother - Xiao Yuzhi.
Cheng Yunsheng vowed that she would protect and take care of her younger brother.
But as the younger brother grew older and became more sensible and able to speak, he actually began to take care of her as his older sister.
Once, when she was in a shopping mall, she accompanied her brother to play in the children's playground. There was an annoying aunt who liked her brother very much. After praising him a few times, she actually said: "Your parents must not love you if they have such a cute brother." , I don’t love you anymore, I may not want you anymore.”
Before Xiao Yunsheng could say anything, he saw his younger brother taking off the pacifier and said to the aunt, "That's why your parents don't care for you, don't love you, and don't want you anymore?"
Auntie's face turned blue.
Xiao Yunsheng knew at that time that her brother was special.
Facts have proved that her brother is not extraordinary, but super awesome!
While other children would only yell and cry, his younger brother expressed his needs very clearly. He liked to listen to the radio, use a screwdriver to take apart his toys, study the internal structure and principles, and then keep them intact. Put it back together without moving.
At an age when I can't even control my urination, I can control the chessboard and beat my grandpa in Go.
My younger brother has been taking care of himself, and he has also found ways to take care of himself without leaving any trace, so as not to hurt his self-esteem...
My brother is really great...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard my cousin Xuyan and my cousin coming back late. The two of them looked downcast.
Apparently nothing was found.
At this time, a cold voice sounded from the rocks not far away.
"You lost."
The three of them turned around and saw three-year-old Yuzhi sitting on the rock with a calm expression.
This game is to divide a square piece of land into six rows and six columns, with a total of thirty-six pieces of land. Each team has eighteen pieces of land as its own territory.
Integrate puzzle solving, containment and other rules to seize the opponent's territory. The first to reach twenty-four territories will be the winner.
"Ah?" Jiang Xuyan and Jiang Tingwan were stunned.
They had fifteen pieces of territory just now, why were they missing three pieces?
"I solved the puzzle of three territories - your puzzle has logical loopholes, but I gave the correct answer based on the ideas of you who asked the questions. I will tell you how to correct it later."
"I also found the jade seal you hid."
"So, now you only have nine territories left..."
"Brother Yuzhi, how did you find the jade seal?" Jiang Xuyan asked sincerely.
He carefully found a hidden place - deep in the crown of a big tree, and he climbed up with great difficulty.
Jiang Yuzhi lifted a small piece of jade from the rock next to him - it was the "jade seal" of Jiang Xuyan and his friends.
He explained: "Under a certain tree, the traces of the baby's wheels have an abnormal pause, and there are stones in the ruts - I think it should be Brother Xuyan who temporarily left the baby carriage and covered the wheels with stones for fear that the carriage would slide away."
"There are fresh traces of friction on the surface of this tree trunk -"
"I think it should be Brother Xuyan who climbed up this tree and hid the jade seal. I climbed up the tree and took down the jade seal -"
Jiang Xuyan clasped his fists -
My cousin is not only smart, but also good at physical training. He had a hard time climbing that tree, but I didn't expect that he could easily climb a tree and take down the jade seal at such a young age - I can't compare to him!
Jiang Tingwan said in frustration, "Ah——" "We lost again. Brother Yuzhi, Sister Yunsheng, you are really awesome!"
Little Yuzhi did not show a proud look, but smiled and showed a few small milk teeth: "This is our home, we are more familiar with the terrain and the rules of the game. By the way, my mother said yesterday that Uncle Nolan would come today, and he should be here soon - he brought several game discs that have not yet been launched in China. In addition, my mother baked cookies and squeezed juice - I'm a little hungry and thirsty, everyone, come with me to eat something!"
Chengling brand handmade cookies! Freshly squeezed juice!
And Uncle Nolan's game disc!
The frustration of losing the game just now was swept away in an instant.
The three of them immediately ran towards the villa with joy.
Little Yuzhi slowly slid down from the rocks, adjusted his clothes, and walked towards the villa slowly.
A smile appeared on his face.
Children are really innocent and cute, and they are easy to coax——
