Chapter 97 (1/2)
”Gift?”
”Yes, a gift for mom.”
Xie liaosha put his hands on the table, looking naive and naive.
Karenin closed the book, thought for a moment, and then said, ”I remember your mother's birthday is not yet here.”
”But giving presents doesn't mean you can only give them on your birthday.” ”But my birthday is coming soon,” he said
”But it should be your birthday.” Karenin said.
”So I think it's better to give mom a present.” Xie liaosha gave a soft smile. ”I learned from books that it's not easy to give birth to a child. Dad, it's true, isn't it?”
”Yes.” Karenin said his eyes softened and he put the book aside.
Although Karenin did not say it, a corner of his heart was proud of the little boy in front of him.
”So, we have to prepare a present for mom.” Xie liaosha repeated, almost ready to jump, as if he had a good plan.
”Ask your mother what she wants first, and when she comes back from Moscow.” Karenin seriously proposed, met the little boy's opposition.
”But it should be a surprise.” Xie liaosha frowned. He looked at his father in some perplexity: ”we should find out what she would like and give it to her.”
”I think you are right.” Karenin thought for a moment and then said.
Although many people think that Karenin is stubborn and refuses to give in easily, it is only limited to government affairs. In life, in the face of his wife and children, this man is actually very easy to be convinced.
”How about jewelry or books?” Karenin suggested again.
”Oh, Dad, as I said, it should be a very special gift. It was given by you and me. We've never sent anything to mom together Xie liaosha patiently said that he was afraid that the father would not understand the importance.
”All right.” Instead of laughing, the father nodded rather solemnly.
Just at this moment, the bedroom door was knocked.
Corney, the housekeeper, stood by the door and came in with permission and asked respectfully, ”Sir, sir, do you need to eat now?”
”I'm not very hungry yet.” Xie liaosha said that he has a small problem, if he is immersed in something, then he is easy not to feel hungry.
Fortunately, Karenin was not the kind of parent who used to have children.
”It's time to eat. You can think about it after eating. Thank you, Liao Sha.”
”All right, Dad.” Xie liaosha compromise, although sometimes he is quite stubborn, but most of the time, Xie liaosha is a very obedient child.
Xie liaosha habitually took his father's little finger and said, ”Dad, it's not me, it's us. We think together.” He continued to emphasize, but he still looked good tempered.
”Yes. After dinner, we can think about it together Karenin promised, and it is not the kind of promise to coax children, but the one that will always be fulfilled.
Xie liaosha laughed contentedly.
After dinner, the father really made time.
They're in sheriosa's bedroom. Compared with the ordinary children's bedroom, Xie liaosha has a very large bedroom. There is even a small study in it. The bookshelves are full of books. When Xie liaosha was more than one year old and could stagger to his feet, the number of books increased year by year. By now, it was almost as good as an adult's study.
”We can take a look at this one first.” Then he spread out the blue mark on the bookshelf of Liao Sha and took the book from Xie Tian's desk.
Karenin took a look, and it was marked with a lot of gift options.
”It's too much, but I don't think it's good enough.” Xie liaosha pouted, and his white fingers ran gently across it. He mumbled, reading to Karenin the alternative items of the gift and asking him for his opinion.
”What do you think of the train?” He asked.
”I think that's what you like.”
Xie liaosha blinked and giggled.
”I did it on purpose.” He said shyly, ”I also want to know if you know what I like.”
Karenin understood the boy's careful thinking.
”I thought you'd feel big enough to not need a gift.”
Xie liaosha was a little worried: ”but the gift has nothing to do with age.”
”I love presents.” His mouth was shriveled.
”I know.” Said Karenin.
Xie liaosha blinked again. He looked at his father carefully and decided to believe him.
”Shall we go on? Dad. ”
”OK, thank you, Liao Sha.”It took them about half an hour. In the end, both the father and the son thought the gifts were too ordinary.
”I don't think your mother really cares about the gift itself. The most important thing is the heart. Thank you Looking at his frustrated son, Karenin said that he wanted to appease the other side.
”But I want to give her the best.” Xie liaosha sighed and held the paper in his fingers.
”We should give her a great gift, shouldn't we?”
Karenin looked at his son's serious small face, and could no longer speak those soothing words. He just nodded slightly and told the other party that he could spare 40 minutes to think about it together.
Forty minutes later, it began to rain outside the window.
Xie liaosha yawned. It was almost time for him to take a nap.
”You need to go to bed now.” Karenin said.
”But I'm not very sleepy, Dad,” Xie said softly With that he raised his hand and wiped his eyes.
Karenin said, ”you are sleepy. Go take a nap. Thank you.”
Xie liaosha looked at his father again and sighed softly.
After Xie liaosha fell asleep, Karenin covered each other with a long blue woolen blanket. He moved some official documents and temporarily worked at his children's desk. In this way, he can know when he wakes up.
Usually these things are always done by his wife. Karenin hardly realized what this habit means - how old is Xie liaosha, and how long does the wife insist on it.
An adult, in the child's bedroom, does something alone to pass the long time, and never complains.
Karenin began to realize the weight of sheriosa's proposal.
An hour later, the rain did not stop, but Xie liaosha woke up.
He was wearing a white nightgown with two white, thin legs, and remembering that Anna had told him not to walk barefoot on the floor, he had stuffed a pair of fluffy pink blue slippers under his feet.
He got out of bed and wanted to change his clothes to find his father, but the latter had already come in.
”Are you in my study? Dad. ”
Karenin told the other party that yes, and gave him Xie liaosha's clothes. After the latter changed, he told Xie liaosha that he had to go to grammar class in half an hour.
”Don't be late, Xie liaosha. Being late is a very bad habit.”
”I understand, Dad.” Always firmly remembering Xie liaosha nodded his head.
”But the gift.” He hesitated.
