"I plan to live in the city from now on."
"Ah!" The siblings looked over in disbelief.
"Why, Mother?" "Yes, Mother, didn't you say you didn't like living in the city?"
Xu Keke certainly didn't want to. If she had to choose, she would rather take her two children back to the countryside. The village where Feng Lichun lived was a land of plenty, and even after the disaster, the village never went hungry.
However, staying in the city was Feng Lichun's wish. This was because, nine years later, when Zhou Chengguang met her for the first time, he said she couldn't live in the city and that it was impossible for her to not survive there.
Unexpectedly, this became Feng Lichun's obsession. She wanted Xu Keke to help her take care of her two children and live a good life in the city.
However, there are some things Xu Keke still needs to clarify with the two of them.
"Your father," Xu Keke had just finished saying those four words when she felt Da Cui next to her stiffen.
Xu Keke smiled wryly. These four words were Feng Lichun's opening line whenever she talked about Zhou Chengguang with the children. In Feng Lichun's memory, these four words appeared so frequently that she started speaking with them too.
Xu Keke sighed softly and patted Da Cui, "Da Cui, are you reluctant to part with your father?"
Da Cui didn't speak, burying her face in Xu Keke's arms. Although a two-year-old might not remember much, Da Cui still remembered a burly man carrying her on his shoulders, running around in the yard. She knew that man was her father.

Xu Keke didn't spell it out. "No matter when, and no matter if what he did was right or wrong, he will always be your father. But everyone makes mistakes. Some people will be confused their whole lives. You can't blame anyone else for being confused, and no one can help you with that. Unless he comes to his own senses and understands things. As for us, we can't control others, nor can we demand that others treat us well. We should just do what we should do and what we want to do, and that's enough."
As they were talking, Xu Keke fell asleep. She had taken her medicine; she was just too tired today.
Da Cui and Yuan Bao, siblings, exchanged a glance across Xu Keke and fell silent. Yuan Bao quietly moved closer to Xu Keke. Before long, Yuan Bao fell asleep. Da Cui also closed her eyes shortly after.
Xu Keke didn't see it, and Da Cui, who had been worried all along, finally smiled.
