House Dad’s Literary Life

“You can open these books and see if you like them. Dad buys them for you.” Yang Yi said with a smile, he was worried that his daughter was bored and didn’t know what to do at the bookstore.

It’s also a lot of fun to look for books in the bookstore!

Xixi nodded ignorantly, and she turned her head and focused on the bookshelf. The book of the little man seemed to attract the attention of the little girl just like the previous wonderful patterns.

However, Yang Yi saw Xixi look left and right, and finally reached out to the big-open album. Those small-sized and thick little books were ignored by little girl.

Perhaps it is because the color of the large format is more vivid and the pattern looks richer.

I saw the little girl, like the bowl, holding both hands tightly on a large book, the book is as big as her face, resting on the edge of the bookshelf, and some worried about falling.

At the beginning, she was still at a loss. But looking at the little brother next to him, the little girl turned over, but she wore gloves and her fingers were awkward and turned directly into the middle of the book.

Yang Yi squatted down, first helped Xixi take the book, and then said with a funny smile: “Come, Dad will help you take off your gloves, how do you read a book with gloves?”

“But, but I am afraid of cold.” Xixi extended two small hands, but still worried to Dad.

“I’m not afraid, it’s not cold here.” Yang Yi took Xixi’s two small gloves off, and then held her two small hands in the palm of her hand. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Look, it’s not cold now?”

“Oh!” Little girl suddenly opened his eyebrows and giggled.

Let her read the book, Yang Yi also flipped through these little books.

However, in a short while, Yang Yi also found some problems. Most of these little books are comic books. Although the number of words is small, and a few pictures constitute a small story, its plot is not suitable for Xixi.

For example, this comic book describing campus jokes.

A child said to his table: “How do you eat French fries?” (Note 1)

The second picture says: “What I hate most is the person who worships foreigners!”

In the third picture, he asked him silently at the same table: “You are still embarrassed to tell me, what is the box on your desk?” (In the comic, the protagonist’s desk is also placed with a large box, with him. The box of fries at the same table is exactly the same.)

As a result, the fourth picture, the protagonist smiled slyly: “Who said, this is obviously a fritter.”

In the cartoon, the open box is a strip of fritters stacked like French fries.

It’s not that it’s not good-looking, but the problem is that Yang Yi can’t help but smile and feel very interesting.

The stories or jokes told by these little books are obviously not just for children, but adults can see them.

Of course, looking at this story alone, Yang Yi doesn’t mind letting Xixi look. But looking at other stories, Yang Yi saw that the author used some of the smiles of urinating, used some of the love between boys and girls, and even used jokes like ***, lipstick, masks and the like. .

To make a comparison, these little books are just like “Crayon Shinchan”, which is more like an adult-reading comic. Although the late “Crayon Shinchan” has lost a lot of gender, it is still more adult.

So can this be called a children’s comic? Obviously not suitable for Xixi, a child who hasn’t started school yet! Yang Yi doesn’t want Xixi to be so small to get in touch with these adult ways of thinking.

What makes Yang Yi feel that the problem is serious is that this type of comic is not a special case. In the small book counter in the children books area, most of the comics are similar.

Yang Yi remembered a column in the newspaper that Guan Jun, a former assistant director of Yu Qian, had seen for himself. Although Fu Jun showed it to himself, Yu Qian recommended his first «Xixi’s Bedtime Stories» to sell his book in Guandong, but Yang Yi remembers Yu Qian’s article on children’s literature. Commentary, she said that Chinese children’s literature has now entered a misunderstanding. Many writers who write children’s literature use adult thinking to conceive, and the stories written are not suitable for children to see!

Yu Qian is also a mother. As a writer, she has always encouraged her children to read, but in her eyes, only the «Xixi’s Bedtime Stories» written by Yang Yi is really a book suitable for children to read. Not only is the story full of imagination. Force, and the words and sentences will not deliberately use gorgeous rhetoric.

Yang Yi now comes with Xixi to buy books, and finally realized the feeling of Yu Qian.

Looking for a circle, Yang Yi just found a few children’s books that were fairly good.

A book called “The Adventures of Little Fish” describes a small sea fish. After birth, it started its adventures in the sea. There is no particularly thrilling plot. It is a bit like a science book, so that children can be beautiful. In the illustrations, get to know the sea world.

There is also a book called “Pug Clown”, which is a bit like the story of an ugly duckling. The pug clown is suspected of having so many pets in this family. Indifferent cats, ferocious dogs, proud parrots, naughty squirrels, greed Eat the pig, and a talking old lizard. But unlike the ugly duckling, the pug clown did not become beautiful. It was very positive about the dog, bravely facing the challenge, and got the friendship of other pets in the family in each and everyone story.

and many more……

A total of four books, these fairy tales can still be seen, and they are all big-open, full-color map, expensive is a little expensive, but Yang Yi gave Xixi, little girl saw it very much.

The problem is that in the children’s book bookcase with hundreds of books, Yang Yi found that less than four books are suitable for Xixi.

No, I finally bought five books.

Because Xixi relies on her own courage to explore and find the book she likes.

“I want this!” Little girl holding a 20-inch book, looking at her dad with hope, just like the usual cloth doll she saw, she couldn’t move her feet and wanted her father to buy her back. .

Yang Yi looked at it. This is not a storybook, but a lot of cartoon illustrations, introducing the popular children’s books of animals and plants in the forest.

“Do you like this?” Yang Yi asked with some surprise.

“There are bunny and small mushrooms on it!” Xixi nodded and said seriously to Dad.

It turned out that she also looked at the picture “Calling the Book”. For Xixi, in the books, the story of the text description she could not understand. On the contrary, the more beautiful the picture inside, the more colorful she is, the more she likes it.

Of course, the popular science book Yang Yi is still willing to buy Xixi.

I bought my account and went home. Xixi was very happy. I sang the songs I learned in kindergarten for my father. I was excited to talk to my dad. It was like going out to the bookstore. Just like buying a bunch of cloth dolls, it was fun!

However, Yang Yi is not as happy as Xixi, and from this shopping, he deeply understands the seriousness of the problem described by Yu Qian about children books.

Although he did not worry about the country and the people, but he also had to consider what his daughter had read these books, and then what to look at?

Even if Xixi grew up, there are other books to read. After that, I and Mo Fei’s second child?

These problems, Yang Yi can’t avoid, have to face.

Of course, Yang Yi can write it himself, but how many books can he write for children?

Yang Yi has been hollowed out by Xixi. He has not seen many children’s stories in his previous life, and most of them are his own stories based on the definition of some fairy tales. If he continues to swear, he will write something like the little man’s book, with a lot of adult style of thinking.

Besides, the effectiveness of his alone alone is limited.

What should Yang Yi do?
