Highly recommended:
The Su family had a lively Spring Festival this year. Song Yitong, whose given name is Yuanyuan, is over two years old. She's very active, running around everywhere in the house, filling the house with laughter. However, because she's so energetic, Song's parents have to keep a close eye on her, afraid she might bump into something.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, the child got tired of playing and clung to Song Ma, wanting Song Ma to feed her.
“Grandma will eat with us too, so eat by yourself.” Su Yu gave Yuanyuan a look, and Yuanyuan shrank back, then pouted and sat down in her special chair to eat.
"Mommy's naughty." Yuanyuan was unhappy.
"What?" Su Yu looked at her seriously.
Yuanyuan: "..." She was so scared that she trembled.
"It's nothing, your daughter's mother is doing very well," Song Dongzheng chimed in, clearly unable to bear seeing his daughter wronged. Of course, he also couldn't afford to offend his wife.
Song Ma advised, "Su Yu, you don't need to be so strict with the child."
Su Yu smiled at Song Ma and said, "Mom, she can't be like that. You can't spoil her. Children need to be taught, otherwise they'll become spoiled. Children raised in families like ours aren't spoiled." Otherwise, it would really harm both of you.
Hearing Su Yu's words, Song Ma felt much less comfortable. After all, each generation takes care of the next, and these elderly people can only spoil the children now. As for educating them, they still have to listen to the younger generation.
Moreover, Su Yu is indeed good at educating children; just look how outstanding the children from the Su family are.
Seeing her daughter's unhappy expression, Su Yu deliberately said to Song Dongzheng, "Comrade Dongzheng, let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, we'll go out to see a movie. Mom and Dad will come too. Anyway, no one can go if they haven't eaten dinner."
Yuanyuan immediately tilted her body and asked, "What's a movie?"
"It's the one with lots of monkeys on the wall. We can watch a monkey show this Spring Festival."
Upon hearing this, Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately grabbed her spoon and began to eat heartily.
Don't underestimate this kid; he's incredibly clever and has a lot on his mind.
Su Yu was sometimes quite curious as to why such children could have so many ideas. They couldn't even speak fluently yet, but they thought about a lot of things.
Seeing their granddaughter being so obediently persuaded by her mother, Mr. and Mrs. Song smiled broadly.
This child should be well-behaved by his mother.
Because of the movie, Yuanyuan was actually the fastest eater in the family. She finished her bowl completely, wiping the rice grains off her face with her bib. Then she rolled off the chair and ran to the bathroom to wash her hands. Song Ma was still worried and quickly followed, laughing, "This child has quite a few habits."
Su Yu usually pays close attention to her child's self-reliance. Despite her appearance, the child has already developed many good habits, such as washing hands before and after meals.
After dinner, Su Yu and Song Dongzheng kept their word and took the child out.
As soon as they went out, Song Dongzheng lifted the child onto his shoulders and made him sit on it.
Su Yu smiled and watched, finding nothing amiss. She wouldn't spoil her in daily life, but she would still give her the affection she deserved. For example, Song Dongzheng, the father, often liked to let his daughter ride on the floor like a horse, and she wouldn't stop him. Since Mayor Song didn't find it shameful, she, as the mother, naturally wouldn't be the bad guy.
"Mom, it's so tall!" Yuanyuan clapped her hands and laughed.
Because of the current special circumstances, many celebrations have been canceled, and firecrackers are not allowed. Apart from being more crowded, there's not much of a festive atmosphere on the streets.
There wasn't even an annual leave, so many companies are still operating. Cinemas also didn't close for the Lunar New Year.
After the family of three bought tickets, Song Dongzheng went to buy snacks for his child. Then, one of them carried the child while the other carried the snacks as they walked inside. Just as they were about to enter the screening room, Su Yu saw her family.
Su Lin was laughing with a young man, and judging from their expressions, something was definitely going on.
Su Yu thought about it for a moment, but ultimately decided not to go. She pretended not to see anything and went to the movies with Song Dongzheng and the children.
The themes shown in the movie theater are also somewhat limited, but during the Chinese New Year, they did put on a shadow puppet show featuring monkeys.
Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up as she watched, and she danced with excitement. After watching, she clung to Song Dongzheng, wanting to watch some more.
Song Dongzheng looked at Su Yu. Su Yu said, "I'm happy that you did well, so I brought you here to see you."
What constitutes good performance?
"For example, if you learn twenty more characters."
Yuan Yuan immediately pouted.
Su Yu pretended not to see it and turned Song Dongzheng's face towards her, preventing him from comforting his daughter.
Finally, Yuanyuan nodded in surrender.
After leaving the movie theater, the family of three went for a walk in the park and went to see the plum blossoms. Sitting on her father's shoulders the whole way, Yuanyuan was beaming from ear to ear, completely forgetting that she still had to go back to learn twenty characters.
Looking at her daughter's beaming face, Su Yu couldn't help but smile too. She felt that anything was worthwhile as long as she could keep that smile.
She wants her child to live in a good environment where all they see are beautiful things.
There are places in the plum garden where people can take photos. Su Yu also asked someone to take a picture of her family of three.
Since last year, the family of three has come here every year around this time to take a picture. This is where Song Dongzheng proposed to her, and it's also the most beautiful place in the provincial capital.
