"Ling Chuan, I haven't asked you before, do you want to go to Beijing with me? This is not a trivial matter for you. If you stay in Jiang City, you will have a stable life, income, and social connections. If you go to Beijing, everything will have to start from scratch. I hope you will think it over carefully."

Ling Chuan shook his head quickly, "Don't think about it, wife, I'll be wherever you are. I've thought about what you said, I'll try to make more money during this time, and when I get to Beijing, I'll open a small restaurant near your school, so that you can come to the restaurant every day to eat your favorite food, and I can also make money to support you."

It turned out that when she was planning their future, the other party had already secretly planned their future.

Yun Mo has always been clear and rational about her future, but now, there is an uncertainty in the expected future, which makes her feel more expectant and longing.

Ling Chuan has never been a person of empty talk.

From that day on, Yun Mo could clearly feel that he was more diligent and hardworking than ever before.

He was out when she got up in the morning, and often came home after she went to bed at night.

But even though he was very busy, he never neglected cooking for her, and delicious and nutritious meals were always placed on the table on time every day.

The weekend after the first mock exam, Xie Xia brought Xie Jinghuai to visit her home.

Although it was the weekend, the Ling brothers did not rest and went to the commercial street to open the shop early in the morning.

The owner of the shop that was rented before the Chinese New Year transferred the shop directly to Lingchuan because of family matters.

After renting the shop, Lingchuan hired two salesmen.

Normally, Deng Cuihua looks after the store while the others go out to do business. On weekends, when the employees are on vacation, Ling Chuan opens the store by himself.

There are many people shopping on weekends, and the daily sales can be as low as 20 to 30 or as high as 40 to 50.

Ling Jiang, like before, rides his bicycle to set up his stall and goes wherever there are many people. It is no problem for him to earn ten or eight yuan a day.

Xie Xia was a frequent visitor to the courtyard. Dabai and Erbai were used to her and just symbolically "cackled" at her twice as a greeting.

But Dabai and Erbai showed great "enthusiasm" towards this unfamiliar face of Xie Jinghuai. They stretched their necks and chased Xie Jinghuai around in circles in the yard.

Xie Jinghuai's spoiled temper was completely cured by Dabai and Erbai. He followed Yun Mo around like a little tail and was as obedient as a rabbit.

There was no way. Dabai and Erbai only listened to Yun Mo's calls. Once they were out of Yun Mo's sight, the two guys showed signs of being ready to pounce.

Xie Xia brought Xie Jinghuai here not only to be a guest, but also to apologize.

The pants that Ling Chunhua had gotten dirty in Xie's house before had been washed, dried, and ironed by Xie Jinghuai.

Under pressure from Xie Xia's dominance, Xie Jinghuai apologized to Ling Chunhua in a proper manner.

"I'm sorry, I won't bully you again, please forgive me."

"No, it's okay."

Although her face flushed, Ling Chunhua still expressed her thoughts seriously and clearly. Her voice was soft but crisp, and she had lost all of her past shyness and timidity.

Not to mention a rich and powerful young master like Xie Jinghuai, even an ordinary little boy being forced to wash pants for little girls or being forced to apologize to them would be enough to make them feel ashamed.

In order to ease Xie Jinghuai's embarrassment, Yun Mo offered to teach him how to fly a kite.

"I promised you before that I would make a kite for you. Let's make one together later. The wind is nice today. How about we go to the mountain to fly a kite this afternoon?"

Sure enough, when Xie Jinghuai heard Yun Mo say that she wanted to teach him how to make a kite, all his depression disappeared, and he even took the initiative to change his words and called Yun Mo "Sister Momo".

Yun Mo had never flown a kite before, but she was not panicked at all.

She asked the Xie siblings to cut bamboo, and she took Ling Chunhua to buy mulberry paper for making kites and oil paints for painting.

It was spring, and there were many stalls selling kites on the road.

Yun Mo chose an old man’s kite stall and bought two of the biggest kites. She also asked him for some experience and tips on making kites.

When Yun Mo returned home, Xie Xia and Xie Jinghuai had already brought back a large, green, round and straight bamboo.

Seeing the brother and sister looking at the kite in her hand curiously, Yun Mo hurriedly explained: "Time is limited, I guess we can only make one today. There are so many of us, we can't just fly one kite. I bought two kites when they were for sale on the road."

Facing Xie Xia's slightly teasing smile, Yun Mo felt inexplicably guilty.

Yun Mo had learned bamboo weaving from the Huang family, so splitting bamboo and cutting bamboo strips were not difficult for her. However, this bamboo was quite old, with thick and hard walls, which took Yun Mo a lot of effort.

After processing the whole bamboo into thin bamboo strips that can be used to make kites, Yun Mo had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and back.

While wiping her sweat, she asked the siblings curiously, "Where did you cut this bamboo?"

"I didn't cut it. I asked the driver to buy it from Chopsticks."

No wonder...

Old bamboo has dense fibers, high hardness and toughness, making it an excellent raw material for making chopsticks.

Yun Mo was busy making kites and didn't even make lunch. The four of them went straight to Uncle Luo's house next door for a meal.

After lunch and a short rest, Yun Mo officially started making kites.

First, use fine cotton thread and bamboo strips to make the skeleton. Then use mulberry paper to cut out the outline of Saint Toya Aiolia, color it with oil paint, and finally glue the paper and skeleton together with paste. Now a Saint Toya Aiolia kite is made.

It looks quite decent, but I don’t know if it can fly.

After Zeng Fang arrived, everyone took snacks and fruits and took the Xie family's car to the hillside in the suburbs.

“Which kite should we fly first?”

After setting up the tent, Zeng Fang couldn't wait to point at the three kites hanging on the treetops and asked.

"Let's release the butterfly first."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Yun Mo calmly explained, "I think butterflies are beautiful."

In fact, she didn't have much confidence in the kite she made herself, and was afraid that it might not fly and dampen everyone's interest.

"Okay, then let's release the butterfly first."

The wind was quite strong on the top of the mountain. Standing in the windward position and waving my hand, the kite flew towards the sky like a real butterfly, dancing gracefully, and soon turned into a black dot the size of a thumb.

After a while, the goldfish kite flown by Xie Xia and Ling Chunhua also flew into the sky and faced the butterfly kite from a distance.

"Sister Momo, let's go release Aiolia."

Perhaps because he saw Zeng Fang and Xie Xia successfully flew their kites, Xie Jinghuai also walked up to Yun Mo with the Saint Arrow - Aiolia in his hand, full of anticipation.

"Okay, let's go."

Yun Mo had a smile on her face, but she was actually very nervous.

If the kite she made doesn't fly, it would be embarrassing, but it would be bad to disappoint the child.

After finding a good position, Yun Mo held the kite while Xie Jinghuai backed away while letting out the string.

"Sister Momo, you can let go now!"

Hearing Xie Jinghuai's shout, Yun Mo instinctively let go of her hand.

The kite stumbled and rose and fell, and after a hard struggle, it fell to the ground.

Yun Mo: “…”

If she said it was the wind's fault, would that be considered bullying a child?
