"Uncle Four, we just took Miaomiao to the roller - skating rink. We met a little boy with an injured hand there. That boy insisted on having a race and a duel with Miaomiao. He lost the first two rounds. But he wasn't convinced and asked Miaomiao to let him use both hands and have another round. After losing that round, he deliberately rushed at Miaomiao and knocked her flying. Then his elder brother said that Miaomiao had had a conflict with him before. Do you know about this, Uncle Four?"
As the eldest child in the family, Lin Chenghui knew that if he wanted to be partial in a just - looking way, he had to clarify the ins and outs of the matter first. Every word was a trap, depicting the little boy as an evil, vengeful and petty - minded person.
"I know. Last time Miaomiao was playing on the slide in the amusement park. A child from the Tao family cut in line and even wanted to hit Miaomiao. But Miaomiao fought back and broke his hand. It's okay. I'll handle this matter." Lin Yao held his daughter in his arms, stroking her hair to soothe her while explaining.
"Alas, it's our fault. If we hadn't dragged Miaomiao to play such a dangerous game, she wouldn't have encountered such a bad thing." Lin Chenghui knew the art of speaking well. He took on part of the responsibility all at once, looking very magnanimous, and continued to make the little boy more hated.
"It's not your fault. Miaomiao likes sports. Go and play. Don't feel guilty." Lin Yao responded with a gentle smile to his eldest nephew.
It was a friendly interaction among family members for the elder brother to take the younger sister to play. The one at fault was still that naughty kid.
Damn it. He had compensated that family with so many things, but that naughty kid still came looking for trouble with his daughter. He was really being ungrateful.
There was no need to be in a hurry to deal with the ungrateful person. The most urgent thing was the little girl in his arms.
Miaomiao's mood was like an eggplant beaten by frost. She was aggrieved, neither speaking nor crying, which was really distressing.
Lin Yao carried the little girl to the room and put her on the bed. He knelt on the ground halfway and looked seriously into his daughter's clear eyes and asked, "Why is Miaomiao so unhappy?"
The little girl kept rubbing her clothes with both hands. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. It took her a long time to say, "Dad, I seem to be disliked."
Miaomiao held back her sobs aggrievedly. Her little milk - like voice trembled as she spoke word by word, which made people feel extremely heart - ache.
Lin Yao sighed deeply. In his heart, he cursed the boy who had disturbed Miaomiao's mood and all his ancestors for eighteen generations.
"How could that be? Miaomiao is not annoying at all."
"But, I had a match with him today. I wanted to apologize after the match. But he rammed into me. I didn't violate the rules. I didn't bully him with my strength. I even let him use both hands. But he still dislikes me."
As Miaomiao was talking, tears fell from her eyes. Big teardrops dropped one by one, hitting Lin Yao's hand and hurting the silly dad's heart.
When the little girl was sad, she had a characteristic. She wouldn't cry loudly and make a fuss like other kids. Instead, she would bow her head silently and look aggrieved like this.
If she cried, it would be easier to handle, which would mean that the little girl was just acting coquettishly for comfort and hugs. But the current situation was more difficult, which meant that the child was really very sad, heart - broken to the point of being unable to breathe.
The silly dad could completely understand why the little girl had such a strong reaction.
In her previous life, because of her work and rest schedule, Miaomiao was not seen at school for a whole morning. She didn't have many friends at all. After entering high school, except for two and a half friends, no one else was close to her.
When she first entered college, Miaomiao even called him specifically to say that she had made many friendly classmates and friends at school. She cherished these friendships very much.
At that time, the silly dad was very gratified, feeling like his daughter had just grown up.
Now thinking about it, Lin Yao would rather his daughter not be so affectionate and a bit more cold - blooded. In the end, she wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic situation with no trace of her body left.
The little boy's invitation for a match was, in his daughter's mind, a signal of friendship.
Since the little girl had agreed to the other's request, it meant that Miaomiao had already regarded the other as a little partner.
Miaomiao, who had the intention of friendly communication during the match, was suddenly stabbed in the back by her little partner. For a four - year - old little girl, she simply couldn't turn this corner.
She didn't even know why things had turned out like this. She only knew that the newly - met little partner didn't like her.
"Baby, not everyone who talks to you wants to be your friend. Just like the boy today, maybe he was just not convinced that he lost to you last time and just wanted to win back. It's his problem that he doesn't like you, not that you did something wrong."
Lin Yao gently wiped the tears from Miaomiao's face and patiently explained, trying to solve his daughter's knot in her heart.
"Baby, you should know that not everyone in this world will like you, and not everyone will dislike you. There will always be people with different opinions from yours. We don't have to pay attention to such people. Just be yourself. You still have Dad, Grandma, uncles and aunts, and Little Fatty and Xiao Su. We all still like you and love you."
Miaomiao tilted her head and listened carefully to what the silly dad said. Her little head was working hard to digest and understand the meaning of these words.
After reacting for about five or six minutes, Miaomiao finally fully understood what Lin Yao meant and nodded heavily.
"Okay, Miaomiao knows. Miaomiao shouldn't be sad about this. From now on, Miaomiao won't play with people who don't like Miaomiao. Miaomiao will only play with people who like Miaomiao."
"Our Miaomiao is really smart. Are you still sad now?" Lin Yao gently rubbed the little girl's head and asked.
"Still a little bit, but not as uncomfortable as before." Miaomiao answered honestly. She understood the principle, but she still couldn't get over the feeling.
"Then tomorrow Dad will take you and your cousins to the amusement park, okay? There are many fun things in the amusement park. I'm sure Miaomiao will have a great time." Lin Yao had an idea. In her previous life, Miaomiao's favorite thing was to go to the amusement park. Eating, drinking and having fun was the best way to divert his daughter's attention.
"Okay!"
Sure enough, the little girl became excited in a second. A child's emotions came and went quickly. With the expectation of tomorrow, the remaining sadness was completely dispelled.
Because of the three teenagers' complaints and shifting of blame, everyone in the Lin family knew about the little girl's experience in the afternoon. Grandma Lin, out of pity, added two more meat dishes for dinner. She also urged her eldest son to go out and buy a lot of desserts to coax her granddaughter.
Dinner was even more sumptuous than lunch. Miaomiao kept stuffing food into her mouth, showing her hamster - like nature, which made everyone at the table laugh.
The happy atmosphere at the dinner table dispelled all the gloom of the day. Naturally, the little girl integrated into this big family.
The atmosphere of the family made the little girl feel inexplicably satisfied. Her chest was warm as if there was something about to come out, but she didn't know how to express it.
When going to bed, Miaomiao hugged Lin Yao and looked at him again and again. Suddenly, she leaned over and gave the silly dad a kiss on the cheek. She clumsily expressed her love with the words she had organized for a long time.
"Dad! ~ Miaomiao likes you so much! ~"
