“Daddy’s handwriting is so beautiful!”
This compliment was very pleasing to Gu Jinglian’s ears!
After completing this card, Baby Chu felt sleepy. After all, he had limited time at night. It was already 8 pm when he finished drawing the card. After taking a shower and brus.h.i.+ng his teeth, he went to bed.
The next morning, when Baby Chu came to cla.s.s, he secretly slipped the invitation letter into Sheng’er’s desk drawer, being too shy to give it to her directly!
When Sheng’er arrived in cla.s.s and was about to stuff her school bag into the desk drawer, she noticed something in it. She took it out and found that it looked like a greeting card. Flipping it open, she saw a cartoon drawing. The drawing depicted a little girl in a dress and a boy in a little suit, standing in front of a castle, holding hands. It was very cute.
She could recognize some of the words written on it—Dear Sheng’er, I really hope to see you at my birthday party!—Gu Chengze.
Holding the card in her hand, Sheng’er turned around to see that Baby Chu was sitting there with his face flushed, looking a little restless. She smiled and asked, “Baby Chu, did you put this in my desk drawer?”
“Yes… that’s right!”
“Your birthday is coming up soon?”
“Uh huh!” Baby Chu said seriously, “I made this together with my mommy and daddy! Mommy made the invitation card, and I drew on it. Daddy wrote the words!”
“Wow…!” Sheng’er exclaimed. “You drew this?! Isn’t it too beautiful?!”
She spoke rather loudly and almost the entire cla.s.s heard her. When the other children saw this, they immediately surrounded her and jostled to take a look at the invitation card. Gasps of surprise could be heard among them.
“What a beautiful drawing!”
“Baby Chu, did you really draw this?”
For a moment, the children had forgotten that Baby Chu was a “dangerous person” and could not help being envious of Sheng’er for receiving such an invitation card.
Sheng’er said smugly, “Baby Chu gave me this invitation card! He was the one who drew the picture, the invitation card was made by his mother, and the words were written by his father!”
“Oh my G.o.d! I thought this was bought!”
“It’s even more beautiful than a bought card! Look at the words on it, they look even better than the print in books!”
“Did Baby Chu really make this himself?”
“Unbelievable!”
…
Baby Chu was extremely pleased!
The children took turns to praise him, and he started to feel as though he was walking on air! For the entire day, Sheng’er carried the invitation card around and could not bear to put it away. This was personally made by Baby Chu, and she was the only one in cla.s.s who received it. The other children were extremely envious.
Baby Chu said that there would be one for every child in the cla.s.s! However, Sheng’er was the first to receive it! This meant that Baby Chu treated her as his best friend!
Baby Chu got home happy as a bird. He chatted non-stop with Chu He, “Mom, did you know? Sheng’er really liked the invitation card that I gave her! She said that she wanted to keep it forever!”
“The other children are so envious of Sheng’er! Some of them secretly asked me if I had made one for them too! they said they wanted to attend my birthday party too!”
Chu He was very glad to hear this. After dinner that night, Baby Chu started on his huge project again. This time round, he made two.
His deskmate was a girl who liked reading comic strips, especially Balala the Fairies. Hence, he depicted the girl as Little Magic Fairy.
The other kid was a boy who liked to play soccer. He drew a picture of the boy in his autumn clothes, performing a volley kick. Then, Gu Jinglian wrote out the invitations..
