A Noble Marriage - Chapter 65
Today is not a good day, in fact, the sky is a little gray, it seems that it will rain soon.
But in the villa of Karenin’s family, at the white railing, there was a small sky blue bench on which Anna and Karenin’s son, sheriosa, were sitting upright.
He has a chubby face and curly brown and golden hair. He looks cute and cute.
His chubby fingers were holding a piece of colored paper, as if trying to fold it into the shape of an animal. His soft, crisp and tender voice was humming happily.
The wings of the paper crane have come out, and soon, even its head has been folded.
His hands are so dexterous, just like his mother.
“You still need eyes, don’t you?”
Xie liaosha whispered to the paper crane and gave it a pair of dark eyes.
He gently held the paper crane in his hands. His pink fingernails were short and his fingers were round, but he did it very seriously.
After all, he is only three years old. He also believes that every paper crane has a soul. When people can’t see it, they will fly by the wind. Now, he wants to discuss with the little paper crane in his hand and let it see how it flies.
“I won’t tell anyone. I can keep a secret.” Xie liaosha muttered.
Of course, the paper crane didn’t respond, so what Anna saw when she came out was her son’s confused eyes.
Mothers who are more careful can always understand what these babies are thinking. After all, their thoughts are crystal clear and transparent.
“Baby, it’s still a little paper crane.” Anna said with a smile as she approached sheriosa and bent down to kiss the child on the forehead.
“So, like me, it’s a little shy sometimes, isn’t it?”
Xie liaosha said with a red face. I don’t know why, when his mother saw his whispers, he felt a little embarrassed.
“Sometimes it is, so we’d better not force it at this time, right? It’s like when you’re embarrassed, we all give you time, right? ”
Xie liaosha bowed his head and thought, then nodded solemnly.
He held up the little paper crane, then pursed his mouth and gave it a kiss. Because he knew there was magic in kissing, just as his mother did to his father when he was tired from work.
“You’ll show me when you’re not so shy, right?” Xie liaosha touched the wings of the little paper crane and said softly.
Anna looked at all this tenderly without disturbing him.
Children of this age always have too many fantasies. Most people think that is false and unreal. But Anna thinks that as long as he loves the world and the people around him, it is necessary to give him a little space for fantasy.
As if she had reached an agreement with her new friend, Anna saw sheriosa nodding her head and solemnly placed the paper crane on the railing.
“It said it would fly away in the evening, but it begged me not to look at it secretly, or it would not fly.” Xie liaosha said to Anna.
“Of course, you won’t sneak in, will you?” He added with some uneasiness.
“I won’t, baby.”
Anna touched the boy’s head, and Xie liaosha gave him a smile, as if expressing gratitude.
He has always been a polite child, and smiling is what he often does.
“Is Dad coming back?” He asked, looking up in anticipation.
Most children at this age are afraid of their father. After all, there are too few people like o’bronsky who are amiable. But even his uncle, o’bronsky, is only kind to his daughter, and a little perfunctory and stern to his son.
Before Xie liaosha was born, even Tao Li worried about it.
In their impression, Karenin is a rare decent person, but people can not help but agree that this adult is not gentle enough.
Children don’t like such an adult. He is too serious. Even if he gives them candy, they will weigh it for a while before they get close.
But maybe it was because of this that God gave him a little wife who was fearless, and later, their son.
It seems that from birth, this babe with big eyes and small dimples has loved her father.
Not long after he was born, he liked to lie in his father’s arms, although he didn’t like crying in anyone’s arms. He was a good baby.
When he was learning to walk, his mother and nurse took him with him, but he hobbled step by step towards the gate, until his father came in, and his little hand, which could not hold anything, was clinging to each other’s knees. The smiling face on the small Bib was not comparable to his curved eyebrows.
Occasionally, in his spare time, when no one saw him, Xie liaosha sat on his father’s shoulder and looked at the world at another height with his big blue eyes.He was used to these things, so he didn’t know that every father was like this until he grew up a few years later.
But these are later things. Now Xie liaosha is only a three-year-old boy.
After finishing his homework, he was waiting for his father at the door as usual.
Anna is fully aware of a child’s expectations of his father, although she has never had one. She likes to see this. A child’s dependence on his parents shows that he really believes that his parents can give him safety and protection.
“Yes, he will be back soon.” Anna said.
She sat on the other side of the cane chair and began to do some knitting work. It was a small blue hat, which Xie liaosha knew was for Nikolay.
“Can I touch it?” He said, with a wistful expression.
“Yes, but it can’t be broken.”
“I’ll just touch it gently.” Xie liaosha promised with a smile.
He touched it, hesitated for a moment, and then asked with a red face, “can you make me one too?”
Anna stopped, she blinked, and then said, “but I may be very tired. I gave you one before, didn’t I? ”
Xie Li Sha as like as two peas in his little eyebrows.
Then he hesitated again and said, “well, well, mom.” After saying that, Anna found that she covered her eyes with her hands.
“What’s the matter with you?”
Xie liaosha’s tone was stuffy. After a while, he said, “I can’t continue to look at the hat you knitted for Nikolay. I like it too much, but I can’t control it.” At last he murmured, “so I decided not to see it.”
Anna couldn’t hold back this time. She began to laugh.
Xie liaosha looked at his mother suspiciously. Then he found that he was held in his arms and got a kiss.
“What did I say?”
“You said lovely things.” Anna answered her son with a smile.
She still looked confused when she saw the boy’s expression, but she didn’t intend to continue to explain, so she restrained her laughter and said, “if I knit you another one by myself, I will be very tired, but if you can help me, I won’t be so tired.”
“But,” serliosa thought for a moment, and then said, “I will not.” He also shook his little head and looked at his chubby fingers.
“How can I help you?” He asked his mother seriously, and after that he felt a little uneasy because he realized that he really couldn’t knit.
“You can hold them for me.” Anna put the ball in sheriosa’s hand.
“If you want to ask for something from someone, you have to help them as well. Even if you don’t, there’s always something else you can help, baby Anna said.
Xie liaosha looked at the ball of wool attentively, then nodded and returned a smiling face.
“I can also sing to you, mother.”
“Now I’d love to hear you sing, baby.” Anna said, giving Xie liaosha a smile of encouragement.
So, after Karenin came back in his carriage, the boy’s song was heard far away. He asked the coachman to stop and walk a little longer than usual.
When he approached the yard, he saw a warm picture.
His wife found him first, then their son.
“Dad
Karenin heard serliosa yell, his big blue eyes were like gemstones, and his cheerful expression completely resembled that of his mother.
Karenin nodded in response to his son’s cry.
No matter how many years later, he is still a senior official in Petersburg with inviolable reserve.
Anna took the ball and gave the little guy freedom. The latter blinked at him and trotted in the direction of his father.
He is not at the age of a toddler. He is no longer a child who comes up to his father and holds his hands high.
Xie liaosha was three years old and began to have his own pride and recognition.
So he stopped in front of Karenin and just looked at each other with his shining eyes. When his father patted him on the shoulder, he felt proud and satisfied.
But what he did not change was that he took the initiative to pull his father’s hand, and Karenin was also used to his son’s movements.
“The nanny said it was going to rain. I was a little worried about you, Dad.” “When it rains, you will come back later. If it thunders, I can’t protect my mother alone,” Xie said
He observed very carefully. In fact, after hearing this, Karenin had to recall it. He found that seliosa was right.
“I’ll think about it later.” Karenin gave a guarantee.
Xie liaosha nodded at ease. At home, they never doubted his father’s promise.
Karenin led seliosa to his wife.”Welcome home.” His wife said, with a smile, black hair and gray eyes, just like in those years.
Karenin also showed a small, tiny smile. Over the years, he had never been alone on his way home.
It’s just a normal afternoon, just like every day. ( )
