1. Christmas gift for the little chubby girl

On the afternoon of the 24th.

Shiling's mother went to pick up her daughter from the kindergarten. When the teacher saw her, she took her into the classroom, pointed to a large pile of wrapped presents in the corner, and said to her, "These are all from Shiling."

"Ah?" Shiling's mother looked confused, she looked at the daughter playing with coins next to her, and then at the teacher: "What's going on?"

The teacher explained: "Today let the children do the activity of giving each other Christmas gifts. Didn't they mention this in the parent group last week?"

Shi Ling's mother nodded blankly. Of course she knew about this event. The children each prepared a Christmas gift, and then randomly distributed it to everyone today. The teacher's request is that the gift can be handmade or purchased by parents and children together, but the market price of the purchased gift should not exceed 100 yuan. What she prepared for Liu Shiling was a hardcover picture story book with a price tag of 95 RMB. I bought it with a discount of 40 RMB on JD.com. It felt like a very suitable gift.

Shiling's mother said strangely: "Isn't it a gift for each person?" One person prepares one, and the other gets one. Why did Liu Shiling get so many?

The teacher's expression was somewhat helpless: "Most of the children in our class have prepared two gifts, one for participating in the event, and one for Liu Shiling. Not only our class, but many children in other classes also marked the gifts they want to give her."

"Ah?" Shiling's mother looked at her daughter with a calm expression in surprise, and frowned, "Then...that's not good? Our Shiling only prepared one gift..."

In her opinion, even among children, gifts should come and go. Especially at times like Christmas, if you unilaterally accept but don't give away, you always feel as if you owe someone something, which is not appropriate.

The teacher's expression became even more helpless: "Shiling returned gifts to everyone, she folded paper all afternoon..."

Shiling's mother stared blankly at those gifts. She knew that her daughter was very popular in the kindergarten now, but she didn't know how popular she was until she saw this pile of gifts like a hill.

Judging from the packaging, we know that they are definitely not all handmade products, and there may be some gifts worth more than 100. After all, these gifts are not the activity gifts requested by the teacher.

In this case, origami and these gifts cannot be compared...

As if seeing what she was thinking, the teacher said: "The children like Shiling's origami very much. To be honest, if you exchange the origami with other gifts, they will definitely not do it. The origami that Shiling made by herself is The gift they wanted."

When they left the kindergarten, Shiling's mother and Xiaopang girl didn't bring any presents. They really couldn't take so much, even a taxi would not be enough to carry them. However, the teacher helped to find a van for the kindergarten. The driver drove them there, and Shiling's mother just gave the driver 50 yuan for gas.

After arriving home, the driver helped them deliver the pile of presents home, and ran with them several times, so Shiling's mother finally felt embarrassed and transferred 100 yuan to the driver on WeChat.

But what surprised Shiling's mother was,

The daughter didn't seem to have any interest in the pile of gifts that filled the corner of the living room. She knelt on the sofa in the living room, thinking about something while looking at the creased and crumpled A4 paper carefully laid out in front of her.

"Aren't you going to open the presents? Don't you want to see what other children gave you?" Shi Ling's mother asked.

"I'll take it down later, I'm a little tired from moving it." Liu Shiling said without raising her head.

Shi Ling's mother looked at the pile of gifts, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity, so after asking her daughter's consent, she moved a small bench and slowly dismantled it while sitting.

As soon as she unpacked two pieces, she received a call that it was delivered by SF Express.

After receiving the courier and closing the door, Shi Ling's mother smiled and said to her daughter on the sofa, "It's a gift from your bald uncle."

The little chubby girl who was studying the A4 paper immediately straightened up and jumped off the sofa. Before she could put on her slippers, her little feet in socks slapped on the floor and ran to her mother, tiptoeing to pick up the delivery box. , went back to the table and started unpacking.

Shiling's mother took a pair of scissors and came to dismantle it with her daughter. After opening the small cardboard box, there was a long wooden box in the middle of the torn newspapers that were stuffed inside and used as a buffer. After opening it, there was a pair of chopsticks lying inside. .

The last time Xiang Kun had dinner with them, he told her that he wanted to give Liu Shiling a pair of chopsticks that he made himself, but he didn't expect it to be ready and sent so soon.

Shiling's mother smiled and said to her daughter: "The chopsticks made by your bald-headed uncle are considered Christmas gifts, tsk tsk, but unfortunately our family Shiling can't use chopsticks well, she can only use spoons..."

Liu Shiling held the pair of chopsticks and looked at her mother with wide eyes: "These are not ordinary chopsticks!"

"Oh? Not chopsticks? Could it be a magic wand?" Shiling's mother teased.

Liu Shiling opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her mother had already said the words? I had no choice but to close my mouth, and silently went to the side with the chopsticks to play, trying to pick up the coins with the chopsticks, but of course, I couldn't pick up the coins at all.

When it was time for dinner, at Liu Shiling's request, Shiling's mother washed the chopsticks and put them beside her bowl.

Seeing her daughter Fat Fufu's little hands trying to practice masturbation with chopsticks, Shi Ling's mother couldn't help but feel a little jealous--the daughter who hates using chopsticks on weekdays, but when she saw that the chopsticks were given by Xiang Kun, she would go crazy Now that I have used it, I used to be unable to use good words or coercion.

But I have to say, the chopsticks are really good.

When she first saw it, she didn't think it was special. Now when Liu Shiling was holding the chopsticks to pick up vegetables, she realized that the length and shape of the chopsticks were not exactly the same as ordinary chopsticks. It was obviously adapted to Liu Shiling's hands and The gesture of holding chopsticks is customized.

So the little chubby girl picks up the dishes, although she is still a little clumsy and jerky, but she is much more deft than before.

"Mom, when will Dad come back?" Liu Shiling asked casually.

Indeed, after they moved to Star City, the total time that Shiling's father came over was probably less than a week.

After Shi Ling's mother was silent for a while, she forced a smile and said, "Soon, he will be back soon. He also prepared a Christmas present for you." In fact, she went to buy it herself.

The little chubby girl also seemed to feel that after she asked that question, her mother's mood became depressed. She carefully picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put them in her mother's bowl: "Mom, eat vegetables."

"Well, thank you Shiling." Shiling's mother looked at her daughter in relief.

After eating, Liu Shiling went back to her room, started drawing, and did the homework assigned by the teacher today.

After a while, she got up and opened the crack of the door of the room. Seeing that her mother was focusing on the series on TV, she closed the door carefully, went back to the table, and took out the chopsticks that had just been washed from the small box. on the table.

Then she took out a hooded sports jacket from her mother's closet just now from the bed, put it on her body, and tied it to her chest with two sleeves, but her face was always covered by the hat, and she adjusted the angle several times. It was only when he could barely raise his head that his eyes could see the front.

Liu Shiling turned off the headlights in the room, leaving only the desk lamp, and put a small Garfield piggy bank by the side, adjusted the angle of the desk lamp, let the light shine through the piggy bank, and cast its projection on the far wall.

After finding a good angle, Liu Shiling wore her mother's sports coat and pulled up her hat, as if wearing a gorgeous magic robe, walked to the middle of the room, faced the projection on the wall, and raised her head so that her gaze could Not covered by the hood.

She lowered her voice, and said in a voice that she thought was majestic, but was actually a childish voice:

"The evil minus cat from the abyss! I am the most beautiful... um... that... the cutest... the most powerful... um... magician!! I offer a bald... um... bright bow and arrow Hand...the super powerful monster hunter Xiang Kun ordered you to be expelled!!"

Liu Shiling raised one hand and pointed to the shadow on the wall: "Now I give you a chance to choose. I have a coin in my hand. Do you choose the word or the flower? Choose the word? Are you sure? If you are sure, you can't change it! Okay! , if it is a word, I will let you go back, if it is a flower, you will be my pet!"

After finishing speaking, a one-yuan coin on the back of her left hand began to flip quickly along the gap between her fingers, and after turning around from the palm to the thumb, it bounced with a ding.

The coin tumbled rapidly in the air and fell, but she caught it firmly.

Liu Shiling looked at it pretendingly, then shook her head: "Oh, it's Hua, it seems that you are destined to be my pet! This is the arrangement of fate!"

After that, she raised her head, walked to the table, picked up one of the chopsticks, and looked back at the shadow: "Today, I will use the lightning wand to deal with you!"

2. Lao Xia's Christmas "dinner"

Six o'clock in the evening on Christmas Eve.

In a house in a certain district of Eitong City, Xia Libing was sitting at the table video-chatting with her parents abroad.

"Xiaobing, have you received the Christmas present that your dad and I sent you?" It was the mother who spoke in the video.

"received."

"Today is Christmas Eve, didn't you go out with your friends or colleagues?" Mother Xia asked again.

"No." Xia Libing said.

"Oh, Christmas, Christmas Eve, it should be very lively outside..."

"I'm not on holiday."

"Xiao Bing... Your dad and I thought about it, should you stop staying in Erythia? It's not that Erythia is not good, it's just that you are there alone... Your third uncle and aunt's life, Maybe I can take care of you at work, but usually you are alone... At home, you still have your cousin, and Nana and the others play together..." Mother Xia said hesitantly.

Halfway through the speech, Xia's father next to her adjusted his glasses, and continued: "You still need to get in touch with people more..."

Xia Libing nodded: "I will go back occasionally, and some friends will come over, it's okay, don't worry."

After finishing the video with his parents, Xia Libing walked to the living room, ready to start eating.

On the table was the fast food she ordered after get off work, which was no different from usual.

At this moment, the phone rang, and when I picked it up, it was a video request from my cousin Yang Zhen'er.

At this point in time, when I sent a video request, I knew that Yang Zhen'er was definitely trying to slander her with all kinds of delicacies.

So she decisively refused the video.

Put down the phone, open the bag and lid of the fast food, and when you are about to eat, the phone beeps again.

Xia Libing picked it up and took a look. She was still her cousin, but this time a recorded video was sent:

"Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow It’s down! Lao Xia, don’t worry, I’ll help you get rid of them!”

Above the video is a table of sumptuous dishes, including her favorite crispy pork knuckle.

Xia Libing watched the video, then looked at the cold fast food on his table, and his stomach grumbled "just right".

She looked up at the ceiling, picked up her phone, opened a meal ordering app, and started searching for "pig trotters"...

3. Gao Yao's singing voice

It was already past 1 o'clock in the morning on the 25th when I left Tang Baona's house.

Gao Yao drove his fiancée Bao Ting home.

Bao Ting, who is sitting in the co-pilot, usually goes to bed early, and just now at her sister's house, she chatted very high, and her mood was high, but she was quite energetic. Now that she was sitting in the car, she started yawning again and again, wanting to sleep.

Gao Yao, on the other hand, usually stays up late with guild activities. Occasionally, when the version is updated, he even has to refresh the dungeon until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. At this time, he is still in good spirits.

But he could also tell that his fiancée was sleepy, so he didn't speak, wanting her to take a break.

But Bao Ting suddenly remembered something, and said: "Hey, by the way, I saw your QQ space before, and a woman left a message for you, saying that your singing voice is very good, but after we dated, it seems that I haven't listened to it yet." Have you ever sung?"

Gao Yao chuckled and said, "My singing is all about miracles. I have no skills at all. I can't compare with Xiang Kun and Nana."

But Bao Ting urged: "Sing a chant, come, sing me a love song."

Gao Yao still smiled: "I don't know how to sing love songs."

Bao Ting insisted: "Then you can sing other things, you can sing whatever you know, whatever you are good at."

"That's fine, I'll just sing one, don't hit me after you hear it..."

"Sing, sing, sing."

"need to wait a while."

"What are you waiting for? Didn't you say you can't sing love songs, so what kind of song do you have to brew your emotions?"

"Wait on the elevated road, I'm afraid I'll disturb others here."

"Are you singing on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? The sound insulation of our car is not bad, how could it disturb others?"

After a while, the car drove up the elevated highway, Gao Yao straightened his throat, and pulled the tone: "Hey~! Ooh~! Hey~!——"

Before he started singing, Bao Ting was so teased that her stomach hurt from laughing.

But halfway through the smile, Gao Yao opened his mouth, startling her so frightened that she almost bit her tongue.

"Come from ~~~~! There is no savior! It doesn't depend on Thrall Bloodhoof!! To ~~create the happiness of the tribe~, it all depends on me!!!—"

Bao Ting stared dumbfounded at her fiancé, who was holding the steering wheel with both hands, staring forward with piercing eyes, singing loudly, and finally understood what he meant by "strive hard to make miracles".
