Natural disasters descended abruptly, and the world underwent massive changes. First came extreme heat, then extreme cold, followed by earthquakes, heavy fog, eternal night, and acid rain, all arri...
Before Jing Mo could answer, Su Nian sighed first.
Adults think that children are easy to deceive and can be fooled by a random lie, but this is not the case at all.
Even a child as young as Xixi understands one thing: she is so young and her parents love her so much, it is impossible for them to leave her alone and go far away.
But, if we don’t say this, how else can we say it?
"Don't think about it." Jing Mo patted Su Nian's shoulder gently, "It's noon, it's time for lunch, let's eat first!"
"Okay." Su Nian nodded. "I just made some crab roe buns. I'll steam them right away."
Su Nian said this as she walked towards the RV, while Jing Mo closed the gate behind her.
When Su Nian came out of the RV again, he had a steamer in his hand.
The steamer has several layers, and each layer is filled with crab roe buns.
In addition, Su Nian also found cute custard buns and red bean paste buns.
The little buns are sweet, crunchy, soft and very cute. Little girls should like them the most.
Of course, eating only buns was not enough, so Su Nian also took out other ingredients and placed them all in the RV, and asked Jing Mo to run over and bring them all out.
After arriving at the room where Wu Yue and Xixi were, Su Nian steamed the buns first, and then went to do other things with Jing Mo.
Wu Yue's gaze swept between Su Nian and Jing Mo, with inquiry in her eyes, but she said nothing.
Wu Yue is very smart and can naturally see that there must be something going on between Su Nian and Jing Mo.
But since the two of them didn't say anything, she didn't ask.
Because Wu Yue knew that if it was something that could be said directly, Su Nian and Jing Mo would not be able to not say it.
The ingredients needed for cooking are basically semi-finished products, which are now very convenient to process.
Not to mention, Su Nian and Jing Mo are doing it together. With two people working together, the speed will naturally be faster.
In fact, Su Nian didn't want to do it so quickly, but she finished it without realizing it.
Wu Yue has already cleaned the table.
A round table, not small.
The four of them, three adults and one child, were able to sit down perfectly and didn't feel crowded at all.
The food had just been served and before they started eating, Xixi looked towards Su Nian.
"Aunt Nian, Mom said she would come to pick me up at noon. Will Mom still come?"
Su Nian originally had her head down, looking at the food on the table, but when she suddenly heard Xixi's words, she could only look up at Xixi.
Xixi has a pair of big eyes, and at this moment, the black and white of her big eyes are full of Su Nian's shadow.
Because they were sitting very close, Su Nian could even clearly see his own expression in Xixi's eyes.
After looking at each other for a while, Su Nian finally spoke.
"Mom is not coming. She has gone to a very far place."
Xixi blinked and asked, "Did Dad go find Mom?"
"right."
"I see."
Xixi said, lowered her head, picked up her chopsticks, and said, "I will eat well."
Xixi is not very old, only about two and a half years old, but she can already use chopsticks very skillfully.
She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a cute little pig custard bun for herself, blew on it near her mouth, and then took a big bite.
Although they were both sitting, Su Nian was much taller than Xixi.
From Su Nian's angle, he could clearly see Xixi's originally chubby cheeks, which were bulging due to chewing.
It looked somewhat similar to a hamster eating.
As Su Nian watched, he realized something was wrong.
Xixi's nose tip turned red, and her ears also turned red.
She chewed very hard, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop drooping.
She...cried.
If Xixi cried loudly with her mouth open, Su Nian might not feel too much.
But such a young child was crying in such a forbearing way and trying hard to eat. It made Su Nian feel upset no matter how he saw it.
"Xixi." Su Nian called softly.
Xixi raised her head when she heard the voice. Her eyes were red and filled with tears.
As she raised her head, tears slid down her cheeks.
"Mom said that she likes Xixi very much and will not leave Xixi to go anywhere else."
"Mom said that if anyone said she went to a faraway place, she must be dead."
"Mom said that everyone will die, and once they die, we will never see each other again."
"My mother also said that if she died and my father was still alive, she would let me eat well, sleep well and grow up well with my father.
If my father is gone, let me go to my aunt and uncle, you won’t let me starve to death.”
"My mother also said that if I couldn't find my uncle and aunt, I would have to try harder to survive even if I was alone."
"Mom said Xixi is very young and doesn't eat much, so she's easy to raise..."
Xixi spoke one sentence at a time, eating something in her mouth. Her words were a little unclear, and she was choking with sobs.
Her tears never stopped.
"Uncle and aunt, I don't eat much, but I can feed the chickens and lambs. Can you please let me stay?"
Su Nian nodded, "Okay. Eat well. Only when you are full can you grow up and feed the chickens and lambs."
Xixi nodded heavily, "Xixi will!"
Looking at Xixi who lowered her head again and ate seriously, Su Nian took a deep breath and picked up the chopsticks.
Su Nian had never seen and couldn't imagine the circumstances under which Jing Chuxue said these words to Xixi.
How could Xixi, such a young child, accept these words and remember them?
Perhaps the children in the apocalypse have been living in an abnormal environment since birth. They have seen more, know more, and have a stronger ability to accept things!
Su Nian couldn’t say this was good, but she couldn’t say it was bad either.
Now Su Nian’s only hope is that Shen Cheng can come back safely.
No matter how good the three of them are to Xixi, they can never replace Shencheng's position.
It would be so sad without a mother and a father.
During the meal, the four of them didn't say much, and the only sound in the room was the collision of chopsticks and plates.
After dinner, Wu Yue took Xixi for a walk in the yard to help digest the food, and also said hello to the poultry at home.
After wandering around for more than half an hour, when I came back, Xixi could no longer open her eyes and fell asleep on the sofa in a short while.
Wu Yue covered Xixi with a quilt and looked at the tears still hanging in the corners of Xixi's eyes, her expression became even colder.
"What's going on?" Wu Yue asked Su Nian and Jing Mo.
Jing Mo repeated what he said before.
"It's still unclear what happened, but according to eyewitnesses, those people seemed to be heading for Jing Chuxue."
Wu Yue frowned, "So, if Su Nian and I hadn't run into them and taken Xixi away, then Xixi would not be here now..."
PS: I cried while writing this, oh!
good evening!
