Chaoying's small group [Zhongyingmei]

Winter is finally coming to an end.

Daisy first found the signal of spring coming in the woods in front of her house.

It hasn’t snowed for several days, and the sun is still out, but the wind blows on the face, still carrying the coldness that has not faded away, so the children’s clothes are still very warm, and the little boots are on the soft ground. , leaving footprints one after another.

Tuanzi got up early in the morning, and heard the chirping of birds on the balcony, and happily asked Wendy if the birds had come back after the winter.

"If the birds come back, does spring come too?" asked Daisy.

Wendy smiled and nodded, "Yes."

But Daisy looked for it for a long time, but she couldn't find the figure of the bird jumping on the branch. It was still early before kindergarten, so she decided to go out and look for it.

There are many trees, and the morning sun is not very warm, or sparsely or densely, as if the heart of the earth is still sleeping under the soil. You have to listen carefully to the roots of the trees to hear the beating sound of the pulse.

Spring is so quietly hidden in every beat.

But not without trace.

Daisy walked slowly in the woods, looking for the bird.The little bird didn't find it, but first saw a little timid greenery protruding from under the big tree.

It is a small grass with two young leaves.

"Wow." Daisy sighed in surprise.

She squatted down and blew the grass gently. The little things that emerged from the severe cold were extremely tenacious. The leaves shook, but the roots did not move.

"Xiaocao is very strong." Daisy said.

She happily ran home and told her father about this discovery: "Dad, spring is coming."

The old father was doing his morning stretches in front of the balcony door.

When Daisy got up, Tony was still sleeping in the bedroom, Daisy ran out to find the bird, and the father just got up, breathing fresh air on the balcony, and Daisy came back, and Tony was still standing here.

You can see the woods from here.

"Do you like spring very much?" Tony asked.

"I like it." Daisy nodded, "Spring is here, and beautiful flowers will bloom. You can go to the park."

It feels good to do things in any season and follow the rhythm of nature.

When she came to the kindergarten, Daisy saw her little friend and happily shared what she saw the grass sprouting this morning.

"The grass is so green, it's so beautiful!" Tuanzi compared the length with his fingers, "It's still very small, and it will grow up soon, because spring is coming."

"That's not necessarily true." Sheldon said slowly, holding a book next to her, "My mother also said the same, but last year and the year before last in New York, the winter was very long, and this year's weather forecast said that there will be no early warming."

He added: "If there are sufficient conditions, it can germinate in winter."

"You're so boring, Sheldon." Missy said with her arms akimbo.

What the younger brother said may not be unreasonable, but Missy didn't like it. Looking at Daisy's face, she went to hold her friend's hand and said, "Spring must be coming!"

"You think so too, Missy?" Daisy laughed.

Today, it seems that good things have been happening since the morning. The grass sprouts make people happy. During the activity class, Sheldon taught letter writing, which also made Daisy very interested.

Activity class is reading class for little old man Cooper. Everyone goes outside to play, but he just wants to stay in the classroom.

Sheldon used to read books, or do the homework assigned by the principal, or do the homework assigned by himself, but Baby Daisy ran in to drink water, and inadvertently glanced at his desktop, and found that he was not writing numbers. I didn't fill in the blanks in English either. I wrote a lot of words on a piece of paper. I don't know what to do.

"Is this a new assignment, Sheldon?" Daisy asked.

Sheldon turned to look at her: "It's a letter."

"Write a letter." Daisy followed.

Communication is very convenient in this day and age.In addition to various chat software, emails, text messages, or direct phone calls, fewer and fewer people write letters.

Kindergarten children are seriously writing letters, such a picture is worth seeing.

Daisy can't write letters yet.

With Sheldon's consent, she stood by and looked at it carefully for a while, and whispered the words she knew.

"Hello, sir." Daisy said, "Your book...is very good, I read it in physical education class...but some places are not enough...can you...let me see you..."

Sheldon originally wrote very fluently, but when he heard the words in his ears, his hands stopped.

"Sheldon, I'm sorry." Daisy immediately noticed Sheldon's pause, "Did I bother you?"

"My letter is to the author of Funny Rocket," said Sheldon.

He pointed to the words on it one by one, and read to Daisy: "Mr. Smith, hello. Your writing is very good. After I fell down in the physical education class, I finished it in the rest of the class time. But in the book Some places are not specific enough, and there are two mistakes, can you take a moment and see what I corrected for you."

This couldn't be a letter from a kindergartener.

The principal himself also said that Sheldon can skip to the big class directly, or go to the first grade altogether.

But the little genius is not old enough, and he himself doesn't want to transfer classes, so he is still Daisy's classmate.

"You write well." Daisy said.

"Do you want to write a letter too?" Sheldon asked.

This is what it means to teach.

Of course Daisy agreed—she was always willing to learn new skills, although she didn't know how to write many words, just ask Sheldon, and she would remember it after teaching it once.

Tuanzi doesn't have a mobile phone yet. If he learns to write letters, he can contact many people.

So in this activity class, Daisy didn't go out to play, and she and Sheldon were in the classroom, writing letters slowly.

When I came home from school, my father still came to pick me up.

Daisy ran up to Tony, gave him a soft hug as usual, and happily told her father what she was doing in kindergarten today.

"It's just very happy, Dad." Tuanzi said.

When the car was about to drive home, Jarvis reported that Colonel Rhodes was a guest at home, and he was already in the living room.

Stark's house is like Rhode's second home. After having Daisy, he runs more diligently. Stark's father and daughter are very used to it, so they asked Jarvis to tell Wendy that he would be an extra person tonight. meal.

Daisy likes to play with Rod.

This is her closest uncle, and there are always endless things to talk about when staying together. She wants to tell Rhodes the last time Bumblebee came to the house and played house, and talk about the good things that happened today.

Tuanzi ran into the living room, but saw Colonel Rhodes sitting on the sofa. He didn't rush out as enthusiastically as before. When he saw her, he didn't open his arms to hug her, and then kissed the child on the forehead.

Rhodes just smiled and said, "Daisy is back."

Daisy's pace slowed down a bit.

Although Rhodes was laughing, the child felt that he was not very happy.

This direct was confirmed later.

When Tony, who walked in slowly behind his daughter, saw the expression on his friend's face, he put away that lazy energy, and even got a little serious immediately, saying seriously: "What happened, Rhodes?"

The two adults went to the study immediately and said some things that were not suitable for children.

Colonel Rhodes was always happy when he came to the house. Daisy had never seen his expression like this before, so she couldn't help worrying, and asked Benben: "Is uncle unhappy?"

Stupid doesn't know either.

Rhodes opened a can of beer in the study.

"Then it's better to go to the bar." Tony said.

"No." Rhodes said, "I don't want to get drunk. Speaking of it, it's not a bad thing at all."

According to the news he learned today, a colleague with a good relationship was injured on duty, and the injury was serious. After the operation, he might not be able to walk normally.

"There is no soldier who is not injured." Rhodes said, "It is also possible to die in the line of duty. After saving a life, I should be happy for him after all."

Tony didn't speak, his eyes fell, and he glanced at Rhodes' legs with mechanical skeletons.

Drinking his own wine and talking about other people's affairs, Rhodes may not be empathetic.

Never forget the heartbeat at the moment of falling from a high altitude.

Rhodes once worked hard day and night to walk normally, and endured the pain that ordinary people could not bear. It sounds light, but the memory is really heavy.

After Rhodes finished a can of beer, Tony opened another can: "Do you still drink?"

Rhodes shook his head: "I won't drink."

He adjusted his mood and planned to go outside for some air.

As soon as he went out, he ran into Benben who came to inquire about the situation for the sake of the little master. He didn't dare to eavesdrop, and just stood there for a long time without getting any news.

Rhodes tapped the stupid head, and then went forward, and saw the group waiting at the corner, poking around.

As soon as Daisy saw her uncle, she ran over and asked worriedly, "Is uncle okay?"

"It's okay." Rhodes said, "but I want to be alone now. Shall we play later?"

"Okay." Daisy said.

She watched her uncle walk away from the corridor slowly, and walked into the balcony alone.

Sure enough, I am not happy.

Rhodes was blowing his head in the cold wind in late winter and early spring.Sure enough, he got absolute free space, no one disturbed him, he was quiet around, and it was much easier to think about things. After a long gust of wind passed, he smiled at the distant view, turned around and wanted to go back to the villa to see what Daisy was doing.

When he said before that he wanted to be alone, his face didn't know if it would be very ugly, and he might scare the baby.

When Rhodes walked into the living room, no one was seen.

He looked around, thinking that Daisy was playing with toys somewhere in the house, and took a step to ask Jarvis which room the child was in.

Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, he saw a little blond head protruding from the door.

Daisy didn't know how long she had waited, and finally waited until Rhodes finished blowing the wind and entered the door. She was startled at first, and wanted to call Uncle, but soon remembered that the adults said that she wanted to be quiet, so she covered her mouth, and pushed him away with the other hand. A sheet of paper comes out.

"What's the matter?" Rhodes asked.

He stepped forward and stooped to pick up the paper Daisy had pushed in.

When I opened it, it turned out that there were a lot of words written with crayons inside.

Not paper, but a letter.

"Hello, Uncle," Daisy wrote, "why are you unhappy? Don't you talk to me either."

"Happy" accidentally misspelled a p. I don't know if Happy will have any objections when he sees it.

"I'll give you the cake," Daisy wrote. "It's delicious. I found the grass sprouting. Would you like to see it?"

The grass sprouted and couldn't write, so I drew a stick figure instead.

The last inscription is neatly written, Daisy Stark.

Rhode looked at it and suddenly laughed.

When Daisy heard the movement, she poked her head out to look again, and was very happy to see Rhodes smiling, and she also smiled.

"When I was blowing the wind outside, I wondered if spring is coming." Rhodes said.

Daisy nodded, then shook her head again: "I think so, Uncle. But Sheldon says not yet."

"Really?" Rhodes said, "I already feel very warm."
