Chaoying's small group [Zhongyingmei]

Chapter 483

Daisy sometimes pays attention to what adults say.

Education is subtle and subtle. How adults talk and behave is all seen by children. They think it doesn't matter. They occasionally do things that do not follow the rules, but how do children know what the rules of the world are? What it looks like, they know to study silently.

The way adults speak is endless.

Sometimes adults like to exaggerate.

For example, when Tony took Daisy out to attend some receptions or banquets, those glamorous uncles and aunts in suits and shoes would come over and say hello warmly.

The lady said: "Oh, what a cute little angel!"

Daisy just looked at her father.

Her dad is indeed a lovely angel, especially when he's wearing a father-daughter one-piece.

Tony looked down and reminded: "I think she should be praising you."

"Praise me as a little angel?" Daisy asked.

The lady nodded exaggeratedly and clapped her hands exaggeratedly. Out of politeness, she couldn't take the liberty to poke Daisy's face with her hands, but kept making gestures with her hands: "I dare say I've never seen such a cute face." child."

Not necessarily.There are so many children all over the world, how many are there in New York alone, and each child has different cute points, so it is not easy to compare.

Daisy was praised as the cutest child, and she was a little happy, but she still had to say to this lady: "Missy and Sheldon are also cute."

"Really?" The lady smiled.

Daisy said seriously, but the lady didn't seem to take it seriously. She held a glass of wine and said a few words to Tony, left her contact information, turned around and left.

As a result, the next time Daisy and her father saw the lady at another banquet, they just passed by without saying hello to the lady.

Although it was a short rubbing of shoulders, Daisy still heard the lady praise another rich lady's child: "Oh, this is the cutest child I have ever seen."

Daisy was deeply puzzled: I don't know what standard this aunt's cuteness is used to make the rankings. Why did she only see her for a few days, and her cutest position was given by others.

Seeing his daughter's confused expression, Tony smiled: "That's just exaggerated flattery, don't take it seriously."

"Is it just lying?" Daisy asked.

"It's flattering." Tony said, "Didn't you learn to flatter before?"

Daisy suddenly realized and nodded again and again.

Adults are not telling lies, they just magnify the existing facts.For example, Kua Daisy is cute, such as Quatoni is handsome, those are all facts, but the word "most" cannot be left behind.

Sometimes adults like to belittle with pleasure.

This kind of belittling is usually only directed at oneself, and it usually occurs when others praise.

Colonel Rhodes did just that.

He came to Daisy's house as a guest with big bags and small bags. He bought all food, play, and use for Daisy. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "There is nothing to buy, so I brought some small gifts. I hope We Daisy like it."

There are obviously many gifts, not "a little" at all, and the packaging box is also very large, not a "small" gift.

Daisy wanted to correct Rhodes: "Uncle, did you bring a lot of presents?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it," Rhodes said.

Or, when visiting someone’s house, the owner wants to leave a meal or stay overnight, and he will tell Daisy, if you don’t mind that the bed in the guest room is too small, or if you don’t mind that the meal is rough.

Daisy went to Cooper's house for dinner. Mrs. Cooper made pasta with diced ham. It was delicious, and the children said it was delicious.

Missy praised her mother to the sky: "My mother makes this the best!"

Mr. Cooper also said that his wife is a master at cooking.

Mrs. Cooper was visibly delighted, her cheeks flushed, but it must be said that she had done more than that.

"Why don't you dare admit it?" Daisy asked her father, "It's actually very good."

Whether it is buying more gifts or cooking well, it is worthy of praise. If someone tells Daisy that her paintings are awesome, Daisy will be very happy and will not refute.

Accepting compliments from others is a sign of self-confidence.

"Of course they are not unconfident." Tony said, "It's just modest."

"What is modesty?" Daisy asked.

"Humility is what you should do, just do what you want, and be able to recognize yourself in the face of others' overly praised words." Tony said, "Modity is a good quality, and verbal humility is just the hypocrisy of adults."

"What is verbal humility?" Daisy asked again.

"Well." Tony said, "If someone praises you for drawing well, you say, it's not that good. In fact, it's 'very, very' in the form of 'not or not'. Think about it from another angle, what others think It’s very good, but it’s not bad in your eyes, and it can show your high standards and high requirements.”

"Of course, the main thing is to be polite."

"It's complicated," Daisy said.

"It's not complicated." Tony said, "When you grow up, you will learn it naturally."

He glanced at his daughter.

Tony wished Daisy hadn't learned such verbal modesty.

He probably underestimated Daisy's ability to learn.

Daisy began to be humble like an adult in her daily life.

She draws in the living room, painting the scenery from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

There is already a studio of hers at home, but to paint real scenes, you still have to look at the paintings in person.

Wendy passed by with the dry-cleaned clothes and saw Daisy's painting, so she couldn't help but stop and take a second look.

Daisy's colors and lines are much improved than before. At such a young age, she has not yet studied with anyone, and the paintings she draws are not crafty, childish and natural, which makes people feel very comfortable after seeing them.

People say that writing is like a person, and painting is like a person. A child who draws a picture that makes people feel comfortable is also a child that people like.

"The drawing is really good." Wendy praised.

Daisy heard the voice, raised her head, found Wendy was watching, she shook her head repeatedly, and said, "It's not very good, Wendy."

"Really?" Wendy was surprised, "But I look pretty good."

"It's just normal." Daisy said.

In fact, the child was very happy, because she herself felt that the painting today was good, the green crayon for the leaves and the gold crayon for the sun were painted just right.

Daisy also plans to paste it on the wall of the studio after the painting is finished.

"That's it." Wendy said.

Daisy's hard work may have been in vain - Wendy didn't realize that she was being humble at all, but thought that Daisy's self-demand seems to have improved a lot recently.

Wendy stopped praising Daisy for her good drawing, and smiled encouragingly: "Then you can definitely draw better, come on!"

She walked out of the living room with the clothes in her arms, going to hang them in the dressing room.

Daisy insisted on her own humility there, and seeing Wendy leave, she didn't feel the slightest joy brought by modesty, so she couldn't help wondering and feeling depressed.

At dinner in the evening, Tony and Daisy sat side by side, enjoying the delicious food cooked by Wendy.

Tony said: "Tonight's grilled veal steak is well done, tender and delicious."

Wendy was very happy to hear that, but then she heard Daisy say: "Dad, it's not fine."

The daughter of the Stark family said modestly: "It's just average."

Wendy's happiness index dropped by half in an instant.

She felt that there was an explosion in the sky, and a thunderbolt struck her head, criticizing her work for being unqualified.

"Do you think it's not tasty, Daisy?" Wendy immediately took out her notebook to write down Daisy's opinion.

Tony raised his hand to signal Wendy not to do so.

The old father turned to the child and said: "Humility means being humble about your own modesty, not the modesty of others, otherwise it will be derogatory."

Daisy was shocked: "Is that bad?"

"Yes." Tony saw the shocked look on that little face, tried hard to hold back a smile, nodded and said, "It's not polite to others."

"I'm sorry, Wendy." Daisy quickly put down her fork and apologized to Wendy. "Your veal steak was delicious. I just want to be humble."

It is more comfortable to openly accept the advantages of oneself and the advantages of others, Daisy thought.

Tony told Daisy that she hadn't grown up yet, and she didn't have to socialize like an adult, so she didn't have to be so verbally modest.

"Man, it's better to be sincere." Tony said.

Daisy listened to her ears and listened to her heart.

Doctor Strange came to visit, but it happened that Tony was not there, so he sat in a row with Daisy.

"I heard that you have learned to be humble recently." Stephen said to Daisy.

There is a saying that a scholar knows everything about the world without going out. Although Stephen is sitting in the magic temple, he still knows the interesting things about Daisy very clearly.

It was probably revealed by Tony while chatting with him.

"As long as I think about it, I can know everything." Stephen said.

Daisy said that she was indeed humble for a while, but not now.

"Dad said, be sincere." Daisy said.

"Really?" Stephen asked.

He turned his gaze and saw a piece of Vacheron Constantin that Tony put on the table.

The watch was actually put by Daisy, who took it out of her father's drawer to make a necklace around My Little Pony's neck.

"Oh," said Stephen, "your father has a nice watch."

"Thank you, Uncle," Daisy said. "It's just an ordinary watch."

There was an expression of "Are you kidding me" on Stephen's face immediately: "You are so humble."

Daisy said seriously: "Because my dad still has a lot of watches."

She took Stephen to see Tony's collection, opened the drawer, and there seemed to be a golden light shining in it for a moment, trying to blind Doctor Strange's eyes.

The number of famous watches stored there is uncountable at first glance. Once upon a time, Stephen also owned many, many famous watches.

He stared at the sparkle inside, unable to speak.

Daisy showed Stephen the watch she had taken out again: "It's just an ordinary watch."

This is really "ordinary".

Stephen was expressionless: "Then you think your house and car are also very ordinary?"

"Yes." Daisy said, "Papa said that the house is only for living in, and the car is only for driving."

Stephen was about to be fainted by the eldest lady's arrogance, so he raised his hand to stop Daisy's next words: "Okay, please don't be so modest, we are all acquaintances, please be realistic?"

"Ah, Mr. Strange..." Wendy, who accidentally overheard their conversation, whispered by the door, "I don't think Daisy is being modest..."

She just thought it was all normal.

Who said Daisy wasn't down-to-earth, she was very down-to-earth.

Stephen's face cracked: "It doesn't make me feel any better."

On this day, Tony, who came home from errands, felt very strange.

When he came back, Stephen had finished playing with Daisy and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Seeing Tony coming home, Stephen stood up from the sofa.

Tony thought he was going to say hello to him, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm going to change clothes, you can do what you want."

"No." Stephen said, "I want you to come with me."

"?" Tony said, "What are you going to do? I haven't changed my clothes yet."

"No need to change clothes."

Although Stephen is not a domineering president now, he has the aura and determination of a domineering president. He took away the real domineering president and entered his magic temple in New York by hanging the ring.

In the temple, the apprentices were going back and forth quietly. When they saw Stephen coming back, they whispered hello.

"What did you bring me here for?" Tony asked.

Stephen didn't answer but asked instead: "Do you think I'm old here?"

"What?" asked the black chairman.

"Is it big?" Stephen asked.

Tony was confused, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Big."

"Is it luxurious?" Stephen asked again.

"luxury."

"Holy?"

"……sacred."

After getting this answer, Stephen seemed very satisfied.

He then said: "Actually, that's all. Let's get by so-so."

After speaking, Stephen opened the door with a hanging ring, threw Tony home, and closed the door again with a happy expression.

Tony, who didn't know what was going on from the beginning to the end: "So what are you going to do?!"
