"Please take care. You can come over anytime if you feel unwell."
Wen Xingyue handed the wrapped medicine packet to the ragged old man.
"Thank you, thank you Dr. Wen, thank you so much. Without you, this old man would have died long ago."
The old man, dressed in tattered clothes, carried two doses of medicine in his withered hands. He bent down, his aged face filled with gratitude.
"Grandpa, please don't say that. The country is getting better and better, and your good days are yet to come."
Wen Xingyue smiled gently.
As the old man left the clinic, he suddenly saw the money stuck between two doses of medicine. His eyes welled up with tears, and he knelt down outside the door.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Wen." Her voice was sincere and choked with emotion. "May your family live a peaceful and prosperous life, free from disasters and hardships."
Difficult words can be used to make weighty promises.
"Grandpa, thank you for your blessing." Wen Xingyue was startled and quickly came out to help him up.
...
I watched the old man walk away into the distance.
"Mother!"
There was a sound at the entrance of the clinic.
The crisp, clear voice calling "Mom" melts your heart.
Wen Xingyue turned her head and saw Sui Sui, wearing a pink princess dress and with pigtails in her hair, running towards her across the threshold.
She was also holding a string of candied hawthorns in her hand.
Huo Tingxiao followed behind her, holding a milk popsicle in his hand.
"Baby." A smile flickered in Wen Xingyue's eyes.
"Mommy! Great job! Heal Grandpa!"
Every year, as the sun sets and the moon shines, a child rushes towards the scene, holding a candied hawthorn in one hand and making a stick gesture with the other chubby little hand.
She just saw the old man looking at her mother with gratitude.
Mom is amazing, she cured the old man.
"Why is Sui Sui here?"
As Wen Xingyue stepped out from behind the counter, the little dumpling bumped into her leg.
Sui Sui is two years old now, and her little legs move incredibly fast as she walks.
Wen Xingyue squatted down and gently pinched her cheek.
"I miss my mom, I want my dad to bring me here."
With no worries about the child, Wen Xingyue's clinic became increasingly busy. As its reputation spread, many patients came seeking treatment, leaving Wen Xingyue often overwhelmed with work.
Sui Sui is a well-behaved and obedient girl who usually gets along well with her grandma and maternal grandma.
Today, thinking that her mother would be off work soon, Sui Sui pestered her father, who was coming to pick her up, to take her to find her mother.
“I just came from my mom’s place, and Sui Sui wants to see her mom.”
Huo Tingxiao handed her the milk popsicle.
"Just bought it, eat it quickly."
Wen Xingyue took a bite, and the sweet coolness spread in her mouth, slowly calming the restlessness in her heart.
"Mom, eat!"
Sui Sui also held up a candied hawthorn and handed it to Wen Xingyue.
"Where are these candied hawthorns from, you little glutton?"
Wen Xingyue looked at the large, red strawberry candied hawthorn. The strawberries were all uniform in size and of excellent quality. It was quite heavy to hold. Wen Xingyue took it.
"Auntie gave it to me, Mom, eat it."
Every year, she snuggled close to her mother, holding up her mother's hand to feed her candied hawthorns.
My aunt is Wen Lingyue.
When she's not busy, Wen Lingyue often cooks delicious food to feed Sui Sui.
Sui Sui really likes her aunt.
“My daughter carried them all the way. When I went to pick her up, she already had them in her hand and wouldn’t let me help her carry them. I don’t know how long she carried them, but she didn’t eat any of them, saying she wanted to eat them with me.”
Huo Tingxiao said with a smile.
My daughter is usually not clingy to her mother, but today, as soon as she saw him, she tugged at his trouser leg and asked him to take her to her mother.
Now I know why; it turns out he wanted to share the candied hawthorns with his mother.
"Really? Our Sui Sui loves Mommy so much?"
Wen Xingyue smiled and kissed her daughter's cheek.
As she grows older, she becomes more and more adorable. With good care at home, her face is fair and tender, and her lips are soft and pink. She is just a very lovable little mochi.
Everyone who sees it wants to take a bite.
"I love my mom, mom, it was so hard for you to give birth to me."
After being kissed by her mother, Sui Sui smiled shyly, reached out and cupped her mother's face to kiss her back, her big, watery eyes filled with love for her mother.
Wen Xingyue's heart softened completely.
Her baby is the best-behaved.
"Does Sui Sui not like her father?"
Huo Tingxiao crouched down, his tall figure encircling the mother and daughter.
"I love my dad too."
Looking at her handsome and composed father, Sui Sui turned around and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Huo Tingxiao's smile deepened.
"Didn't Dad get any of those candied hawthorns?" A magnetic, amused voice teased his daughter.
"...Okay, Mommy eats first, then Daddy eats the leftovers. If there are no leftovers, baby will ask Auntie to make another one for Daddy."
Sui Sui looked at her mother who hadn't eaten yet, turned her head, and said with a serious expression.
In the end, Wen Lingyue bore the brunt of everything: ...
"Your aunt will be heartbroken if she finds out."
Wen Xingyue also felt sorry for her sister, finding it quite amusing to see her own daughter trying to please everyone.
"Kiss her every year, and you won't be sad."
He shook his head every year.
Because of his affection for Wen Xingyue, Wen Lingyue naturally extended the same affection to Sui Sui.
They give you whatever you want, and they practically spoil you rotten.
They spoil them even more than their parents do.
"Okay, let's go home. Auntie is getting married tomorrow, so we'll go visit her tonight."
Wen Xingyue smiled helplessly, stood up, and spoke to the father and daughter while biting into her popsicle.
"Oh no, Sui Sui, Daddy will be alone in his room again tonight."
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingxiao picked up his daughter from the ground, gently pressing her cheek against his daughter's face in a pitiful manner, seeking comfort.
"Just one night, Daddy, be good."
Sui Sui gently touched her father's short, coarse hair, patted his head, and comforted him in her sweet, childish voice.
Her attempt at comfort was worse than no comfort at all, leaving the old father feeling choked with resentment.
Wen Xingyue suppressed a laugh.
"Madam~"
Huo Tingxiao noticed that his long fingers hooked her palm.
"Just for one night, be good."
Wen Xingyue felt sorry for him, but it was impossible for her to abandon her sister. She smiled and tickled his palm.
Huo Tingxiao's Adam's apple bobbed slowly. Mother and daughter were on the same side, and he smiled helplessly.
