When she got home, Song Shuxi quietly took out two boxes from the magic gourd.
"This is what grandma made for you. Open it and take a look."
No one doesn't like gifts, no matter big or small.
An An and Le Le sat down obediently. The box was a little tight and it took them some effort to open it. What caught my eye was a jade handle, which was so big that an adult could hold it in one hand. It was a bit too big for both of them and required two hands to hold.
It is made of white jade and looks like an imaginary chicken. The comb on top is red, which looks a bit cute.
It was a little toy that Song Shuxi and her brother got from their elders when they were children. They have forgotten why it was a chicken.
"Mom, what is this?" An An asked, blinking her big black eyes.
"What do you think this is?"
Song Shuqian has always been very patient with her two children.
An An looked at it for a while before saying uncertainly, "It looks a bit like the chicken in the yard."
Song Shuqian nodded encouragingly, her tone exaggerated, "Yes, it's Xiaoji, An An is really smart, I made a small change and you noticed it.
An An and Le Le’s zodiac sign is Rooster, remember? Chinese zodiac, yellow chicken, chirping. "
An An and Le Le grew up listening to their mother's stories. They have heard many stories about the twelve zodiac signs, and they also know that their zodiac sign is Rooster.
Lele was a little reluctant. He felt that chickens were not cool at all. He said, "Mom, I don't want a chicken. I want a tiger, a big tiger like mom." He even let out a roar to match the occasion, which was so cute that it was unfair.
Song Shuxi's zodiac sign is tiger. An An Lele has always liked big tigers and thinks they are their mothers.
She held the two children in her arms and let them play with the jade ornaments in their hands, saying, "But chickens are very powerful. Do you remember the story of Dayu controlling the flood?"
"Remember, Dayu was very powerful. He cured the flood and saved many people." The speaker was An An.
Lele also said eagerly, "As good as dad."
Song Shuxi kisses her two sons, they are so adorable. They haven’t forgotten that their father is a great man.
"Yes, he is as powerful as my father. But Dayu also needed tools to control the flood. Just like my father's gun, they are tools to protect himself and the people.
His tool is a dragon ball. Dragon Ball is extremely precious. It is hidden in the mountains and can only be found by extremely brave, observant and kind people.
We know that Dayu was a very strong man and it was a bit difficult for him to find himself. I can only ask for help from a little chicken who likes to help others. The chicken agreed to Dayu's request, spent a lot of effort, and searched the whole mountain before finding the dragon ball.
With the help of the dragon balls, Dayu was able to control the flood and save so many people. Since then, the chicken has become a very important animal and has joined the big family of the twelve zodiac signs. "
The two children's eyes sparkled, "Wow, the chicken is so awesome, we should learn from it." They even imitated the chicken's crowing many times.
Song Shuqian told them, "The chicken in the yard is also very well behaved. Look, it lays an egg every day for you to eat. It does its job very well." An An asked, "Mom, does everyone have a job?"
"Yes, everyone has their own job. An An Le Le's job now is to grow up happily. Mom's job is to translate a lot of information, and Dad's job is to protect our motherland and people.
There are also many aunts whose job is to take care of their own children and their own homes. Their jobs are also very important. When An An Le Le sees them, remember to say thank you for your hard work. "The two children nodded sensibly. Song Shuqian thought the topic had passed and planned to let the two children play by themselves.
An An suddenly asked, "Mom, why am I not Longzhu? Longzhu is more powerful."
Song Shuqian said, "An An wants to ask why your zodiac sign is not Dragon Ball. An An thinks Dragon Ball is very powerful, right?"
"Yes, mom."
"Because Dragon Balls are just tools, just like the brooms and brushes in our homes or the hand-held objects in your hands. They are just tools, created to make our lives more convenient.
These things can all be replaced. Without a broom, mom can just clean with a mop. Without a brush, my mother can still write with a fountain pen.
Without Dragon Balls, there will be other tools. What matters is the chicken that helps Dayu find the dragon ball. Where it is there are tools.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is no dragon ball among the twelve zodiac signs."
Lele didn’t understand and his big eyes were confused.
Song Shuqian just felt that the CPU was about to overheat. To be honest, she didn't know why.
Children of this age have many questions, some of which are very imaginative and come from angles she has never thought of before.
"Mom, it doesn't matter if I can be replaced." An An said.
"Well, you can understand it that way. Being replaceable is not as important as being unique."
"An An is unique."
Song Shuqian didn't know how the topic got to this point. She kissed her two sons and said, "An'an and Lele are both unique and are mom's treasures. Mom is very happy to have both of you. I'm also very happy that you two can have each other, accompany each other, and grow up together."
When praised by their mother, both children smiled and drooled all over their mother's face.
"Mom is also unique," Lele said, clapping her hands.
"It's unique," An An corrected her brother.
"Mom, is this also what grandma left for us?" An An took out a collar from the second layer of the box. It was the same one he held in his hand during the one-year-old celebration.
Song Shuqian helped him put on the collar, "Yes, this is a collar, it's also a gift from grandma, and the things on it were made specially for you by grandma."
After putting collars on both children, Song Shuxi took out a small mirror to show them.
"Do you like it? Grandma is a person who likes to give gifts. She gives gifts on your 100th day, birthday, and Chinese New Year. This is the gift she gave you for your first birthday. Mom made a mistake in the time and gave it out when you were 100 days old."
Song Shuxi told them about their grandmother's love for them and the meaning of each small pendant on the necklace.
She believed that no matter whether she was the mother of the Dayong Dynasty or the mother of this world, if she saw her children, she would like them very much and give them gifts. When they were gone, she helped fill in.
"I like it, Mom. We want to thank grandma." An An is always so considerate, a little warm-hearted boy.
Song Shuqian said apologetically, "We can't see grandma now. She lives far away. When we grow up, we will go to see her."
"Where is the faraway place?"
"In a place where even mom can't find us, and we won't be able to go there until we get old, but we can talk to the stars in the sky, and they can bring our words to grandma."
"Wow, grandma is so amazing, she can talk to the stars."
After coaxing the two children, Song Shuxi reminded them that they could only tell their family members about what she showed them today.
The two children were familiar with this matter. Song Shuxi repeatedly emphasized that family matters should not be told to others before they even opened their mouths.
Perhaps because they drank the spiritual liquid since childhood, the two children are very smart and have good memory. They remember very well the words that their mother repeatedly emphasized.
This is also the reason why Song Shuqian dared to tell them.
That night, Wei Jianguo came back in a not very good mood and was obviously worried.
