Chapter 2412: Extra - Mengmeng Stamps
Upon taking a second look, he couldn't help but ask, "Mengmeng, what is this a drawing of?"
Mengmeng was surprised. "Daddy, don't you recognize it?"
"...I'm culturally ignorant," he replied.
Little Mengmeng looked at him sympathetically, patted his shoulder, and then generously explained, "It's okay, I'll tell you."
"Alright," Meng Yunzheng placed the drawing back in front of her.
The little one straightened her neck, and her chubby little face was full of seriousness. "Look, I drew our family. This is you, Daddy. Doesn't it look just like you?"
Meng Yunzheng looked at the blurry blue circles, which were supposed to represent him. From where did she draw that conclusion? It had no head, no body, no limbs—a definite... person?
Meng Yunzheng awkwardly smiled, "Mengmeng has quite the imagination."
The little one immediately became excited, as her father had praised her. Brother Lele said that Daddy was the master of the academy, so many big brothers in the school wanted Daddy's praise.
Even though she thought those big brothers were silly, it didn't change the fact that she knew it was a good thing.
So, she continued enthusiastically, "This is Mommy, the most beautiful Mommy."
"Hmm... we'll let your mommy see it later. She'll be very touched that you drew her. Then, you can have two or three candies in one day." He couldn't be the only one "appreciating" it.
Mengmeng said, "Mommy will be moved, and I can have two or three candies in one day."
Meng Yunzheng chuckled. She was dreaming.
Pointing at the remaining blurry circles, he asked, "So who are these?"
"These are me."
Meng Yun Zheng couldn't understand and was quite shocked. "Little Mengmeng, you're the only one, so why did you draw so many... circles?"
The little one gave him a "Daddy is so clueless" expression, sighed deeply, and said, "Because today, Mengmeng is wearing a pink dress, yesterday was red, and the day before was green. Plus, Mengmeng has black, blue, and... many, many more colors. So, there are many, many Mengmengs."
She spoke a lot and felt tired. After taking a big sip of water, she continued, "So, this is yesterday's Mengmeng, and this is the Mengmeng from the day before, and many days before that. Daddy, do you understand now?"
Meng Yun Zheng's mouth twitched, but he nodded in understanding, "I understand."
The little one heaved a sigh of relief; she was exhausted.
After finishing her explanation, she remembered how Meng Yunzheng had stamped his drawing earlier. She climbed down from the child's high chair by pulling on his arm and reached for his seal. "Daddy, I want to stamp too."
"Alright, alright, I'll let you stamp." Meng Yunzheng picked up the little one again, held her hand, and helped her use the seal to press down firmly on her drawing paper.
Mengmeng was very satisfied and proudly admired it again.
Meng Yun Zheng chuckled, opened a drawer, and placed the seal inside.
Just as he was about to close the drawer, Mengmeng suddenly exclaimed, "Daddy, there's another seal inside!"
Meng Yunzheng looked at her extended hand and quickly opened the drawer again.
Mengmeng grabbed the nearby seal and looked at it curiously. "Daddy, can this one be stamped too?"
"...Yes," the little one had a cute eager-to-try expression, and Meng Yunzheng agreed without hesitation.
Mengmeng was thrilled. She had already stamped one seal on the right side, so this time she wanted to use the left side.
So, Meng Yunzheng once again held her small hand and firmly pressed the "Mountain Dweller" seal onto the paper filled with colorful circles.
