Chapter 82 (2/2)
”What do you think?” Karenin put down the document and asked his son.
Xie liaosha blinked his eyes and said, ”I feel better.”
”Are you still upset?” Karenin raised his hand and touched his son's forehead.
”A little bit more.” He whispered.
”What would you like to eat?” Karenin asked again.
Xie liaosha thought for a while and said, ”I want something sweet.”
”But you can't eat now, remember?”
Xie Liao Sha sighed, and some sick: ”I know.”
”When will mother come back?” He asked again. Xie liaosha was always impatient and fragile when he was ill.
Karenin took out his pocket watch and looked at it: ”there are two hours left.”
”I miss her a little bit.” Xie Liao Sha looked at his father and murmured, ”before she would accompany me.”
”This is the exception. She has to deal with something.”
”Of course I understand, Dad.” Xie liaosha looked at his father, then put out his little hand. He played with his fingers and muttered, ”I remember you promised me to tell me a story when I woke up.” He said and glanced at his father again.
Karenin thought for a moment and said, ”I don't remember I promised you that, son.”
”But,” said Xie liaosha, a little anxious and almost red eyed, but he refrained and decided to reason with his father. ”I needed a rest at that time, but I'm much better now. I want to hear stories.”
”May I?” He asked again, blinking his big blue eyes like little stars.
”Well, what do you want to hear?”
”The story of a little boy like me. His house can fly in the sky. He has a dog and a cat, and a goldfish are friends. They go to many places together when the wind blows Xie liaosha said earnestly.
”I've never heard of such a story.” Lenin's eyebrows will fly slightly
”Yes, you don't know?” Xie liaosha had been lying on the body can not help but sit up, looking a little excited. He is also wearing a white nightgown, lotus root like small hands out to draw.
”Mom said he had the same curly hair and dimples as me. He was also four years old. During the day, he was a very ordinary boy, but at night, when his parents were asleep, he could start to travel with their house.”So far beyond the actual theory of the story, Karenin now determined that it should be Anna told to seliosa.
”I think the rest of the story will have to wait until your mother comes back.” He said that he thought Xie liaosha would be a little disappointed, but the latter was like finding another pleasure again.
”Then I can change it. I can tell you, Dad!” He said excitedly, and after that he clapped his hands, feeling that he had a good idea.
”I've never told anyone.”
”But I have to.” Karenin looked at some documents he had accumulated beside him. He was about to refuse, but Xie liaosha was always one step ahead of him.
”Please.”
His eyes wide open, kneeling on the bed, still holding a teddy bear in his arms, a look that people can't refuse.
”All right.” Karenin said for the third time, and packed up the documents. He knew that he had to spare at least an hour to listen to Xie liaosha's stories.
”But you can't be outside the quilt. You may catch cold again.” Karenin said as he stuffed the little boy into a warm quilt.
”It's hard for me to move.” Xie liaosha said hesitantly.
”You just have to say it, and I can understand it.” Karenin said.
Xie liaosha bit his lip and finally decided to follow his father's advice.
Then he began to tell, and finally stopped when he said that the little boy's house had stopped on an island.
”Mom said it was a very small island, not even as big as their house, but it was the best place he could find to land, otherwise he would have to fall into the sea. The house doesn't swim, does it
”Do you think it will,” Xie liaosha hesitated, and looked at his father and asked in a low voice, ”isn't it an island? Maybe it's a turtle's back?”
”Turtles don't live in the sea, Xie liaosha.” Karenin pointed it out.
Xie liaosha nodded and said, ”maybe it's a big turtle? The kind that lives a long time. ”
Karenin was a little dumb and didn't know how to answer, and sheliosa obviously didn't mind his father's clumsiness in imagination.
”I don't think it's good to say hello to Mr. turtle first, right?”
”Maybe it is.”
”Maybe Mr. turtle is a train on the sea!” Xie liaosha suddenly said, after he finished, he first chuckled, bent into crescent eyes, turned to look at Karenin.
”Just as we went to uncle o'bronsky's in Moscow, we always had to take the train. If there is a train on the land, there must be a train in the sea. Otherwise, how can the fish travel far away
”Maybe it is.” Karenin said again, this time more softly.
Two hours later, Anna came back.
She hurried upstairs to Xie liaosha's bedroom, and then she saw the warmest scene.
Xie liaosha was sitting in Karenin's arms. The quilt covered him tightly. Although his face was still a little pale, the whole person seemed to be rejuvenated.
”What are you doing?” Anna asked as she walked over.
”Mom!” Xie liaosha cried happily. He couldn't wait to stretch out his arm to show that he needed a hug.
Anna satisfied him.
”Don't let him off the quilt. He may catch cold again.” Karenin said, and then put his son into the quilt.
Anna looked at her husband, then at her blinking son, and then said with a smile, ”it seems that your father takes good care of you.”
Xie liaosha laughed shyly: ”Dad, he is very good. But I'm good, too. I told my dad the story of that little boy like me
”Shouldn't you tell him a story? Alexis. ” Anna asked her husband.
”Anna, you should know I'm not good at it.”
”Mom's story is great. Dad won't, but it doesn't matter. I can tell it to dad when I learn it.” Xie liaosha said softly. When his mother came back, he felt relieved.
”Do you want to continue listening to that story now?” Anna asked gently.
Liao Sha nodded. He looked at his father, then looked at his mother, and then shyly smile: ”can I lie in your arms?”
”Don't you need to be a little man now?” Anna saw that Xie liaosha's spirit was much better, so she made fun of him.
The boy blushed and said, ”but I want to be coquettish with you.”
”Sometimes I'm still your baby.”
Anna took seliosa in her arms and said with a smile, ”you will always be our baby.” She kisses each other. And according to Xie liaosha's request, he put him in their arms and told the story to father and son in the warm quilt.The author has something to say: Thank you for your appreciation!
