Chapter 72 Five Years Old
Xixi didn't understand for a moment and asked innocently, "Where is Brother Xiaowu going to find his mother?"
Before Ye Li could answer, Xiao Mu said, "Of course we'll go to heaven to find it. Isn't that what the cartoons say?"
"Oh, I see." Xixi nodded, not quite understanding. "I really hope Brother Xiaowu can stay with us forever."
Ye Li looked at Xiao Mu deeply. Her son had grown up and knew how to protect his sister.
"From now on, you two are not allowed to leave the house alone without Mommy's permission, okay?" Ye Li felt it was necessary to explain to the two kids. She couldn't bear to go through something like what happened to Xiao Wu again.
"Yeah," Xiao Mu nodded very seriously, "I definitely won't go out alone, and I'll watch over my sister too."
Xixi came over, hugged Ye Li's neck, and sat on Ye Li's lap. She said in a baby voice, "I always listen to Mommy."
In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
During this month, their lives gradually became peaceful. Qi Yuanchuan and his men disappeared without a trace, and the Taya people were also silent.
Today is the day when Xiaomu and Xixi turn five years old.
Ye Li got up early and started preparing birthday cakes for the two little kids.
"Mom, it smells so good!"
Ye Li turned around and saw the two kids putting on their clothes by themselves. They were standing by the door, poking their little heads into the kitchen.
"Here, eat some fruit to fill your stomach first. Save the cake for dinner." Ye Li put the remaining fruit on small plates and handed them to Xiaomu and Xixi respectively.
Xiao Mu looked down at the fruit in his hand and said, "Mom, do you have any other breakfast options? I can't feel full just eating fruit."
"Wait a minute," Ye Li said hurriedly in the kitchen, "I just baked the cookies. They'll be ready in ten minutes."
"All right."
Xiaomu and Xixi took their plates, sat at the dining table outside the kitchen, and started eating the fruit with forks.
Ten minutes later, the cookies were baked and Ye Li quickly took them out and gave them to the two children.
Her cake was also ready and was now in the refrigerator, waiting to be eaten in the evening with candles lit and wishes made.
"Happy birthday, my two darlings!" Ye Li held the babies' faces and kissed each of them several times.
"Hehe..." Xixi smiled with her eyes curved, and kissed Ye Li on the face twice.
Xiao Mu was more resistant. He wiped his face with a look of disgust and said seriously, "Mom, I'm grown up now. I can't do this anymore."
"Okay, this is the last time. I promise!" Ye Li laughed. She looked at the two little babies with eyes full of love and asked, "Today is your fifth birthday. Do you have any wishes? Tell Mommy. Mommy will do her best to fulfill them."
Xiaomu and Xixi thought seriously for a moment.
Xiao Mu said, "I am five years old now and can work. I hope you can assign me more work in the future. I am sure I can do it well. Please stop treating me like a child."
Ye Li respected Xiao Mu's wishes very much. She said, "Okay, I will definitely assign you the work you are capable of doing in the future. I hope you don't mind being tired."
"I'm not tired. I'm a man."
"Yes, Xiaomu is a man now," Ye Li couldn't help laughing. In this month, Xiaomu has grown rapidly. He has grown a lot taller and even his personality has become more stable. He is no longer the baby-voiced Xiaomu, but a little man.
