Chapter 97 (Catching Bugs)
"Don't worry, Mianmian." The system comforted her: "The water in the kettle is still a little hot. Hold the handle of the kettle and lift it to the ground and pour the water into the cup."
Yun Mian nodded obediently and stretched out both hands to try to get the kettle.
After holding their breath and tremblingly placing the kettle on the ground bit by bit, Yun Mian and the system both breathed a sigh of relief.
Things went much more smoothly afterwards. Yun Mian tried taking a small sip halfway through the walk and after finding that it wasn't particularly hot, she narrowed her eyes and hurried back into the house holding the cup.
"Mom, take the medicine." Yun Mian poured out the pills and held them in her hand as the system uncle said. After carefully placing the cup of water on the ground, she reached out and gently pushed her mother who was curled up on the bed covered in cold sweat.
"Mom~" Yunmian lay on the bedside, her voice soft and gentle, coaxing her softly: "Mom, be good, drink the medicine before going to sleep, okay? After you drink the medicine, Mianmian will buy you some sweet candy tomorrow~"
This is how her mother coaxed her every time she didn't want to drink the bitter medicine.
Yunmian used her little hands to carefully wipe away the cold sweat that oozed from her mother's forehead. After her mother opened her eyes in pain, she leaned over and kissed her, saying obediently, "Mom, take the medicine."
Yun Mengjin was in so much pain that she almost lost consciousness. She could feel her daughter's movements in a daze, but she couldn't devote her mind to paying attention to what her daughter was doing. She then fell into a semi-comatose state and passed out from the pain.
At first it was just stomach cramps, then she started to feel weak and cold all over. It was summer, but she was shivering with cold.
Yun Mengjin knew that her physical condition was very bad, and she even thought she would die that night.
But I still feel a lot of regret and guilt in my heart. If I die, my daughter will still be by my side. Will she be scared? She is a little girl. If the whole country knows that her mother died on the show, what should she do in the future?
I was once an orphan, and now my daughter will become an orphan too?
In a half-asleep state, Yun Mengjin, who had already decided on the manner and time of death, suddenly found that he was still a little reluctant to die.
My daughter is my last bond in this world. Both mother and daughter only have each other as their relative...
If I really left, what would she do? Would her life be extra hard in the future? Would she be bullied? Would she be laughed at for not having parents?
Will I lack love, become sensitive... and then gradually become the person I used to be?
Just as I was deep in thought, someone suddenly pushed my shoulder gently.
Yun Mengjin’s first thought was: It turns out that I am not dead yet.
At that moment, she was more or less relieved. She opened her eyes with difficulty, thinking that it was a staff member of the program crew or a doctor or nurse. It turned out that time was not as long as she imagined. In front of her was her daughter's face with slightly frowned brows and full of worry.
"Mianmian?" She opened her mouth despite the pain, but she didn't hear her own voice.
Yunmian saw her mother wake up, and came over to kiss her sweaty forehead, clumsily helped her smooth down her wet and messy hair with her kisses, and then spread out the pill that she had been holding tightly in her hand.
"Mom, can you please get up and take your medicine before going to sleep?" She lay beside the bed and coaxed her in a soft voice.
Under her daughter's extremely tender gaze, Yun Mengjin slowly sat up from the bed and leaned against the cold and hard headboard, her face still pale.
Yunmian first poured all the pills into her mother's palm, and then picked up the cup of water on the ground and handed it to her mother.
When Yun Mengjin saw the familiar stomach medicine in her hand, her movements froze a little.
When she saw her daughter actually filling up the empty cup and handing it to her, her eyes became even more solemn.
She drank the medicine without saying a word. The warm water flowed down her throat and into her stomach. Maybe it was a psychological effect, but it did make her feel a lot more comfortable.
After slowly drinking most of the water in the cup, Yun Mengjin handed the cup to her daughter, and then quietly watched her small back as she stood on tiptoe with the cup and placed it on the table.
After Yunmian put the cup away, she immediately ran back, lay down beside the bed and reached out to touch her mother's cold hand. She frowned and asked her in a low voice, "Mom, does it still hurt now?"
Yun Mengjin pursed her lips and raised them slightly, shook her head and whispered, "Mom doesn't feel any pain anymore, thank you for your hard work, Mianmian, come up and sleep."
Yunmian looked up at the bright lights above her head.
Yun Mengjin touched her daughter's cheek and said softly, "Don't turn off the lights. Go to sleep."
Okay!
Yunmian climbed onto the bed happily, got into the quilt, and clung to her mother like a cricket.
Maybe because her previous sleepiness was interrupted, Yunmian couldn’t fall asleep for a while. After closing her eyes for a while to try to fall asleep, she still couldn’t fall asleep, so she quietly opened her eyes a little to peek at her mother.
Unexpectedly, I met my mother's gaze looking down at me.
It was as if her mother was always watching her.
Yunmian looked at her mother blankly. The light from the bedroom fell into her dark pupils, as if someone had secretly stuffed a handful of sparkling stars into her eyes.
Yun Mengjin didn't expect her daughter to open her eyes suddenly. After a second of silence, she touched the child's forehead and asked her softly, "Are you unable to sleep?"
Yunmian also sat up like her mother, then leaned her body into her mother's arms, listening to her mother's shallow breathing, and suddenly felt very at ease.
"Mom, when can I grow as tall as you?" She suddenly became a little curious.
Children are always full of unknown yearning for growing up.
Yun Mengjin thought for a moment and answered her: "When mom gets older, Mianmian will grow up."
Yun Mian was silent for a moment, puffed up her face and sighed: "Then I'd better not grow up."
"Why?"
Even though she might know her daughter's answer, Yun Mengjin, who had just experienced pain and thoughts about life and death, still wanted to hear the answer from her daughter's own mouth on this relatively quiet night.
Yunmian did answer directly, softly and with a bit of unhappiness: "Because I don't want my mother to grow old. If my mother gets old, I will be very sad, and then I will hide and cry secretly."
"Everyone will grow old." Yun Mengjin is always a little pessimistic.
Yunmian reached out and hugged her mother, saying, "Then I will grow old with you and grow gray hair together."
Yun Mengjin was amused by her daughter's answer. With a gentle smile in her eyes, she asked her slowly, "What if mom gets older before Mianmian?"
In fact, what she wanted to ask was, if mommy left a little kid named Mianmian in this world, would you hate mommy? Or... hate mommy?
Children don’t understand why adults always like to ask the truth in a casual manner, and Yunmian doesn’t know either.
She just stubbornly hugged her mother, her whole body pressed against her, and answered fiercely: "No! I will try my best to eat a lot of food, grow up quickly, and grow old with mom as soon as possible!"
Even growing up, in the eyes of children, can be achieved by eating a few more mouthfuls of food.
Yun Mengjin couldn't tell what she was thinking when she heard this answer. She just smiled helplessly, then patted her daughter on the back and said softly with inexplicable emotion: "Okay, then Mommy will wait for Mianmian to grow up quickly."
Suddenly, a small hand stretched out in front of me and offered a pinky promise.
Facing her mother's stunned look, Yunmian said seriously: "Mom, after you make this promise, you can't regret it for a hundred years, otherwise you will turn into a puppy."
But she waited a long time for her mother to extend her hand to make the pinky promise.
Yun Mian suddenly felt a little flustered. She called out "Mom" softly, and her clear eyes contained a grievance that she herself was not aware of.
Yun Mengjin looked at her daughter's eyes which were quickly turning red, and suddenly she took a deep breath. Then she slowly reached out her hand and hooked her daughter's slender fingers with her little finger.
Yunmian's eyes lit up all of a sudden. She hooked her mother's knuckles tightly and quickly recited the spell happily: "Hook, hang yourself, for a hundred years, don't change, if you change, you will be a puppy!"
The children's sense of ritual for the promise finally came to an end. Yunmian's eyes curved with joy. She pressed herself into her mother's arms and said coquettishly, "Mianmian loves mom the most~"
In the second half of the night, the child in my arms was already sleeping soundly.
Yun Mengjin gently tucked her daughter into bed, and then scanned the room inch by inch with a serious gaze.
Finally, he stayed on the opened luggage bag for a long time before closing his eyes silently.
The loud crowing of roosters could be heard one after another in the countryside, and the laughter of children could be heard from the yard. Yun Mian rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed in a daze.
The camera on the wall moved toward her.
Yun Mian took a dazed look at it, then fell back and wanted to continue sleeping.
A small bulge appeared in the quilt, and the child, who was expected to wake up by all the audience, soon fell into a new round of sleep.
Looking at the child who was sleeping soundly, the audience was silent for a moment and then couldn't help but start talking.
[Ahhhhhh how much did I miss last night?! Why did they cover the camera? Woohoo, such a crucial scene, why can't even a distinguished VIP like me see it?!]
[Wow, who among you understands the pain of having to watch a black screen and listen to the sound? I cried last night and wanted to help Mian Mian call the police to wake up the production crew!]
[Mummy's baby Mianmian, in which direction should I kowtow to get such a caring baby daughter?]
[I promise, even if it's for the sake of my baby Mianmian, no matter what scandals Yun Mengjin may have in the future, I will wait until there is solid evidence before discussing it rationally!]
[Who wouldn’t like this little baby who found out his mom was sick in the middle of the night, ran to the kitchen to fetch a small stool, poured some water, and then came back to coax his mom to take medicine obediently? ! ]
Most of today’s young people are night owls, and many of them like to keep live broadcasts in the background as companions, and then do their own things.
So last night in the live broadcast room of Yun Mengjin and her daughter, many viewers heard Yun Mian waking up and anxiously calling for her mother.
Then there was the rustling sound of someone getting out of bed to look for medicine.
Fortunately, the guests only covered the cameras of their own bedrooms, while the cameras in the yard and kitchen outside were still filming diligently.
So the confused audience soon discovered that Yunmian appeared in other shots, and then followed the hurried little child in pajamas into the kitchen, and saw the whole scene of her pouring boiling water.
After Yunmian returned to the bedroom with the cup of water, they realized that Yun Mengjin seemed to have fallen ill in the middle of the night. Yunmian not only prepared medicine and water for her, but also coaxed her mother to get up and take the medicine. The conversation between mother and daughter afterwards was so heartbreaking.
I had planned to update today, but tomorrow is my mom's birthday, and I have guests coming over tonight, so I'm a bit busy. So I'll move today's update to tomorrow.
I owe you 4 extra chapters.
