There are fish in the lake...
Actually, whether there are fish or not, or whether it's spring water or not, doesn't matter anymore.
“Little girl, it’s too dangerous to play by the lake. The soil here isn’t even firm; it crumbles with every step. What if you accidentally fall into the lake? Your dad, your great-uncle, and your great-uncle can all swim, but Grandma can’t. What if Grandma falls into the lake and none of your dad, your great-uncle, and your great-uncle are home? Who will save me then?”
Yue Jiuyue couldn't bear to let this "what if" happen to Xiaoman'er. Xiaoman'er was so young, and even if she were just a passerby, she hoped that all children could grow up safely.
"Grandma, don't be afraid! I'll save you!"
The little girl patted her chest and assured them, "I don't know who I learned this gesture from. Could it be my dad?"
"Can you swim? Can you carry Grandma?"
The little girl shook her head.
"Then how do we save Grandma?"
Xiaoman continued to shake her head.
"Let's go, we won't play by the lake today, Grandma's scared. How about we go to the back mountain? Let's see if there are any flowers there, and then Grandma will make you a flower wreath to wear on your head. You'll be prettier than any flower!"
Whether it was because she heard that she was scared, or because she heard that they would make her a flower wreath that was even prettier than flowers, Xiaoman finally agreed.
Yue Jiuyue carried Xiaoman'er and slowly climbed up the back mountain. To be honest, the original owner's body was much better than hers. Carrying Xiaoman'er, who weighed nearly 20 pounds, up the mountain was a piece of cake for her.
If it were her own body, she would be panting like a cow even without holding Xiaoman'er, let alone carrying her.
"Grandma, there are flowers!"
Little Man'er pointed at the flowers with her little finger and wiggled her little body to go down. Yue Jiuyue put her on the ground, and she ran over and picked a handful.
Yue Jiuyue looked on helplessly.
Actually, along the way up the mountain, Xiaoman'er saw many flowers and always said she wanted to go down to pick them and make flower wreaths, but Yue Jiuyue never agreed.
Wearing a yellow wild chrysanthemum wreath on your head?
Well, she's overthinking it. Chrysanthemums were one of the Four Gentlemen in ancient times, so there's nothing wrong with wearing a chrysanthemum wreath.
but……
"Little girl, we can't just use the flower petals; we can't weave it like that. What should we do?"
The little girl tilted her head, looking at the pretty flowers held in Yue Jiuyue's palm. She then looked at Yue Jiuyue, pointed to Yue Jiuyue's head, then to her own head, and said in a childish voice:
"Wear it on your head! It looks beautiful!"
Yue Jiuyue found it amusing that such a tiny child already knew about wanting to look beautiful!
"Okay, then let's put it on our little girl's head, she'll look so pretty!"
"So beautiful!"
Little Man'er stretched out her short arms and little hands to put two flowers on Yue Jiuyue's head, then waited for Yue Jiuyue to put them on her head, and then happily repeated:
"So beautiful! Grandma is so beautiful! I'm beautiful too!"
Seeing the little girl running towards the wild chrysanthemums on her short legs, Yue Jiuyue couldn't help but smile like an aunt.
No, it's a kind smile.
Sigh! She's only in her thirties and she's already a grandmother! Next year, her second grandson/granddaughter will be born in Liu's belly.
We still have to build a house. Even if we don't consider the physical and mental health of our third and fourth children, we have to think about our little girl. She'll be three years old next year, and she can try sleeping in her own room.
Yue Jiuyue never considered sleeping with Xiaoman'er herself. She still had that bystander mentality, thinking that other people's children were so cute that she could go up and play with them, but she didn't want to have children herself.
