"Mom, how much longer until we get to the capital?" Xiaoman asked without turning her head, her eyes fixed on the sea of clouds.
Ji Wanqiu smiled slightly. This was the third time Xiaoman had asked. Children are always particularly obsessed with time.
"It'll be soon, just two more hours. Xiaoman, do you want to take a nap? You'll see your older sisters when you wake up."
“Xiaoman doesn’t want to sleep. If she falls asleep, she won’t be able to experience the feeling of flying in the sky,” she said emphatically.
Ji Wanqiu couldn't help but pat her youngest daughter's head; how could her Xiaoman be so adorable?
"Mom, where will we stay after we get to the capital?" Xiaoman suddenly thought of a very serious question.
“Of course I live with my sister and her family. My brother-in-law bought a big house,” Ji Wanqiu said with a smile.
Thinking about how her son-in-law had quietly bought a villa, and in the capital city where housing prices were the highest in the country, she was filled with emotion. Xiaxia was such a promising child.
"Is it bigger than our house?" Xiaoman continued to ask.
"It's much bigger, like a castle."
The sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, her mind filled with images of castles. Storybooks always told stories of princesses living in castles, so did that mean she was a princess too?!
"Yay! Xiaoman is living in a castle now."

It has to be said that young people have so much energy. They were up late last night, but they did it again this morning.
She closed her eyes, let out a long breath, struggled to get out of bed, washed her face and brushed her teeth, and then went with him to their garage to drive to the airport in Beijing.
At 12:35, the plane landed at the airport, and Jiang Xia received a call from his mother.
Soon after, the two saw Jiang Wende walking ahead at the arrival gate, carrying a suitcase, with Xia Shanshan behind him, and Ji Wanqiu holding Xiaoman's hand.
The sister-in-law has a sharp eye; she spotted her brother-in-law, who had been waiting for a long time, in the crowd at a glance.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, Xiaoman is here!"
