Chapter 78 (1/2)
It happened when they were about to leave Moscow.
Although his mother could not come with them, his father brought him, but when he left, he also learned an unexpected good news that he might soon have a younger brother or sister.
That's good, Xie liaosha thought. He hasn't been a cousin yet.
Everyone is happy except for one.
”I don't want to be a sister again.” Seven year old Tania puffed and got her pretty floret skirt wet.
Xie liaosha had some hands without a sudden measure and his eyes were wide open. Because he rarely saw Tania crying in front of him, she had always been his brave and sensible little sister. But Xie liaosha was a clever boy after all, so he decided to put down his little soldier and asked tentatively, ”do you want a hug?”
Tania nodded, but tears still rolled down her pretty face.
Xie liaosha unfolded his arms. At the age of five, his body was still round and smooth. His arms were like lotus roots, tender, fragrant and soft.
”One of my younger brothers is no longer good. I don't want another one. ” Tania sobbed, her little hand clasped tightly around her neck, her chin resting on her shoulder, and in a moment she felt her big collar wet.
”Did I make you sad, too?” Xie liaosha asked in a low voice, although it was not his fault, but the tone already had some sense of guilt.
Tania released her hand, hung her head, and then shook it again to deny it.
”You are very well, Xie liaosha.”
”I hope you were born to my mother and my own brother.” She took out a flower handkerchief from her lined pocket and wiped her tears delicately.
”Have you told aunt dolly?” Serliosala suggested softly, taking Tania's other hand.
”No Tania shook her head again. She had always been the kind of sensible child the elders said.
”Maybe you should tell her.” Xie liaosha whispered that his mother had told him this all the time. Only being honest would he not be wronged. Because, even a mother or a father, such a close existence does not always know what you are thinking.
”I can't Tania shook her head again, but she looked calm for a moment.
The little girl looked up at Xie liaosha. She and her mother usually had blonde hair, but she preferred Xie liaosha's hair. Brownish gold, slightly curled, and beautiful with his blue eyes, Tania couldn't help kissing each other's cheek.
”I envy you, thank you, Liao Sha.” She can't help sobbing again, the tip of her nose is some red, like a sad lily.
”You have no brother or sister.”
Xie liaosha didn't tell his father about it for the first time, because he didn't want anyone in the family to show sadness. But on the train, only when he and his father, he decided to ask each other politely.
”Dad, if you do something I don't like, can I tell you?”
Karenin put down his document, raised his head and replied, ”yes.”
”As a matter of fact, you should say it, Xie liaosha. I remember your mother told you
Liao Sha nodded.
He was too small and not tall, so his legs were still swinging in the air when he sat on the train soft chair.
He usually doesn't shake his legs so unruly, but when he's thinking about things, this little problem is a little out of control.
Karenin noticed this, but this time he gave up reminding his son.
He knew that seliosa was a very disciplined child compared to his age. From his slightly sad little eyes, the latter was obviously troubled by something.
”You can say it.” He closed the document and had decided to solve his son's small troubles first.
Xie liaosha nodded again, as if he was trying to bite his tail but couldn't catch up with him. Then, after he was confused, he decided to look up and ask for help.
”Tanya, in fact.”
”Tanya doesn't want another brother or sister.”
”Everyone was happy, but she cried.”
Karenin poured a glass of water for the little boy. The latter took it. He held the cup in his young hand. Although he didn't quite understand it, he still took a few sips.
When he was a little boy, maybe the reason why he couldn't express his sadness was that when he was a little boy, he didn't know what was wrong with him Things.
Plants don't cry, but they need water. Xie liaosha is a boy. He is sensitive and has a strong empathy for other people's experiences. Therefore, for a moment, the rational official doubted whether there was a light rain in the boy's soft heart.
It is common sense to add water to plants. To solve the confusion for his children, this is the instinct that Karenin began to possess after he became a father.”Why don't you think she wants another brother or sister?” Karenin asked.
Xie liaosha blinked his eyes in confusion, then shook his head: ”I don't know.” He added, ”I told Tanya that she could tell Aunt tori, but Tanya was not going to tell each other.”
”I always tell you and mom everything.” Xie liaosha said it naturally, but a little shy.
Sometimes he doesn't want to be the kind of baby of his parents, which makes him feel a little shy, but sometimes, he thinks it's good, makes him feel safe and happy.
”Different family education is different, Xie liaosha.”
”I know, but I always thought, at least we can tell you what we think. Because my mother said that everyone is an independent individual, so we should be frank and tolerant, so that we can be more and more happy. ” His small hands stroked the cup, and his blue eyes were big, as if they were still flashing wet light.
”It needs to be advocated, but because people are independent individuals, not all ideas will be accepted by another person.”
”Tanya didn't say it because she knew it wouldn't change anything, did she?” Xie liaosha asked softly.
Karenin was not surprised that, although serliosa was a little too soft, no one could deny his intelligence. Although her wife didn't explain it, the father always understood. Some are not smart on the surface, but because they are too kind.
Once upon a time, this kindness was not recognized by Karenin, but now, in the face of this small child who grows up slowly from the palm of his hand, even a cold and hard man, will always soften his heart slowly.
