Lu Weisha ’s father said it right. The child ’s childhood should not only be accompanied by toys and TV sets, but also accompanied by books with text and illustrations. Yang Yi also wanted to cultivate Xi Xi's interest in reading, so after eating dinner tonight, Yang Yi brought Xi Xi out to buy children's books.
Because Murphy was at home, Yang Yi was at ease. He did n’t take Xi Xi to the Haihong Children ’s Store in Binhai District. Instead, he chose a mall nearby. There is one of the largest bookstores in Tingshan District. children books partition.
"Baba, can I come down on my own?" Yang Yi hugged the little girl for a while, and she herself felt that shopping in the mall in her father's arms was not enjoyable enough, struggling to come down.
"Then you can't run around. They are all grown-ups here. They knocked you down without paying attention." Yang Yi had to put Xi Xi down and told her in his mouth. Seeing the girl grow up day by day, there are good and bad, and now she is no longer obsessed with her father's arms.
However, it seems that there is nothing bad about it. Xi Xi seems to be less skinny gradually. After listening to her father ’s “fright”, she has n’t really run around. She also stuffed her little hands with her father. Big hands.
"Baba, I want you to pull me." Xi Xi didn't know what she was enjoying, and she said to her father with a smile on her head, her sweet voice still had a strong dependence on her father.
Yang Yi held Xixi's little hand with knitted gloves and looked at the girl's pretty smile, and she suddenly became cheerful.
They came to the children books area of the bookstore. There were a lot of books and colorful patterns on the covers, which made Xi Xi look dazzled. The little girl looked at the left and right and forgot to move her footsteps.
"Xi Xi, let's take a look, what is this?" Yang Yi saw some familiar faces in the bestsellers area, smiled happily, and raised an eyebrow with Xi Xi, said.
The little girl is still in a state of distraction that is extremely distracting. She looks at other beautiful patterns and dangles to her father ’s side.
This little puzzle, it feels like it is not fortified. I'm afraid anyone who reads it can't help but want to take her away.
"You see this, what is it?" Yang Yi smiled and took a fairy tale book from the shelf, shaking towards Xixi.
"What is it?" Xi Xi's big eyes looked at his father in confusion.
"Look at this, do you recognize the words on it?" Yang Yi pointed to the title of the book and said to Xixi.
Xi Xi finally recovered and concentrated on the cover. Immediately, the little girl raised her head in surprise. The little gloved hand pressed the word "Xi Xi" on it and said to her father: "Baba , This is my name. "
But soon, the little girl developed self-doubt again: "No, no, my name is Yang Xi."
"Oh, these two characters!" Yang Yi smiled.
"It's my name too!" Xi Xi finally made her final judgment, looking up at her father with some surprise, as if it was her turn to talk about her discovery, "Baba, this is my name!"
"Yes! Because this is the book that Dad wrote to you. Are you familiar with the picture above?" Yang Yi smiled and pointed to the cartoon characters interspersed on the cover.
"This is Binocau, this is Sid, this is an elephant, a long-haired elephant ..." At this moment, the little girl finally recognized it and she said happily.
"Yeah, these are the stories that Dad told you, a collection of stories, this one is called «Xixi's Bedtime Stories 2», and here is «Xixi's Bedtime Stories», the first one, and «Journey to the West» ..." Yang Yi took a few , Said to Xixi.
"A lot of books!" The little girl looked at her father with a smile on her face. She couldn't understand the meaning of these, but Xi Xi was still very happy.
"Louisa's father said that when he returns to Sweden on vacation, he will bring you the story books of their country." Yang Yi said with a smile, "So we also buy some story books written by my father. God gave Lu Weisha, okay? "
There is a problem. The story books sent by Yang Yi are all in Chinese. Lu Weisha and her father must not understand it, and can only give it to each other as a cultural gift.
Of course, Yang Yi was inspired by the copyright of "Prison Break" to be sold abroad, and also translated his own works. The main ones are the two «Xixi's Bedtime Stories», but the main purpose is to show them to the film and television manufacturers in the United States , So it is not yet available for sale.
It is also convenient to make a physical book. Yang Yi asked Lu Benjie to arrange it. After these fairy tale books are released in the United States, he can also send two more to Lu Weisha. Of course, this may have to wait for a long time.
But Yang Yi still prefers to send Chinese books. After all, the other party also sends books in their native language. Lu Weisha can't understand, you can learn some Chinese slowly!
"Okay! Baba, is this a gift?" Xi Xi didn't think so much. The little girl smiled happily and asked questions.
"Yes, Lu Weisha's dad gave us gifts, and we have to send some gifts back to them." Yang Yi smiled slightly with Xi Xi and said.
Yang Yi did some serious business after missing a few books in the shopping basket. Looking for a children's book that he or Murphy could accompany Xi Xi to read before going to bed at night.
However, after turning over the bestseller bookcase, Yang Yi frowned gently.
The books here are not suitable for Xi Xi to read, but it is not about the story. Yang Yi has not carefully read the content of the story, but they are similar to the stories he wrote, and they tend to use text to narrate.
The densely printed small prints and gorgeous words are obviously not books that Xixi can understand. If you really want to see it, you have to wait at least for Xixi to be eight or nine years old and have more literacy.
Turning around a few counters, Yang Yi finally found a counter. The books on it were just like comics, and there were more illustrations. What's more interesting is that there are also many children who came to the mall with their parents and dad to read the book with relish.
Some are big, small, small, six or seven years old, look like elementary school students, and big ones are in their early tens, holding a small person book one by one, or standing in front of a bookcase, or sitting cross-legged on the ground, or half The buttocks sat on the edge of the bookcase and looked very engaged. Yang Yi walked past them with Xixi, and they did not lift their heads, as if they were unconscious.
Xi Xi looked at these little brothers and sisters curiously, with a hint of longing in her eyes. I do n’t know if she thought it was interesting to read books, or simply herd psychology, but this atmosphere really made the little girl sprout. The desire to read like them.
However, compared to other bookcases, the front of this bookcase is a bit crowded. The little girl carefully followed behind her dad, and kept pace, and was afraid to step on others accidentally.
"Which ones do you want to see?" Yang Yi put the shopping basket on a high place, randomly found two books, and asked Xixi casually.
In this environment, Xi Xi couldn't help but stick to her father. After hearing her father's question, she lifted her small head and looked at her with a confused expression.
"I don't know ..." the little girl whispered.
So quietly, she is also afraid of disturbing the little brothers and sisters who read books seriously. It seems that reading is really a sacred thing.
