"Godmother, godmother——"
Seeing the girl in the yellow coat from afar in the crowd, Sun Rongfang, holding a large travel bag in each hand, urged her son to run forward: "Hurry up, hurry up, your sister Lixuan is here to pick us up."
After being urged by his mother, Xie Youtian followed slowly, looking around with a big blue schoolbag on his shoulders. As a kid who left his hometown Songyuan for the first time and came to the big city, everything in his eyes was strange, new and curious.
"What will you do if you get lost later?" Sun Rongfang started scolding her son when she saw he was walking so slowly.
Wu Lixuan found a gap in the crowd and squeezed through. She walked up to Sun Rongfang and tried to take the bag. She said, "Godmother, I'll carry it."
"Don't be impatient. The bag is heavy." Sun Rongfang tried to slap her hand away.
"It's okay. It's not like I didn't say anything." Wu Lixuaner snatched the luggage from Sun Rongfang's hand without saying a word.
Sun Rongfang turned around and said to her slow-moving son, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore. We're leaving."
Wu Lixuan called out to the children: "Xie Youtian, do you want to eat McDonald's?"
...
...
Hearing that there was something to eat, Xie Youtian started running, and ran to Sister Wu and asked, "Where is McDonald's?"
"Are you afraid that I will cheat you? Look, there is one up ahead." Wu Lixuan pointed to him, not intentionally coaxing him. Sun Rongfang and the others who had intended to get off the train wanted to eat something nearby to fill their stomachs.
The train used to be slow, and it took more than ten hours to get here. I knew that Sun Rongfang and the others wanted to save money on the train, so they would definitely not buy delicious food and go hungry.
Xie Youtian stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. For a kid of his age, foreign fast food like McDonald's and KFC were very disgusting.
Several people walked to the McDonald's in the train station. On the way, Sun Rongfang dissuaded her goddaughter from spending money: "Eat something else, this is too expensive and not worth it, two hamburgers cost dozens of dollars."
"Godmother, it's only once in a while, don't take it to heart. I told you on the phone that I have some money now, and I can afford it."
“It’s not easy for you to make money.”
Unable to convince her godmother for a while, Wu Lixuan simply changed the subject and put her hand on her little brother's head to measure his height: "Has Youtian not grown taller?"
Xie Youtian, who was in the first grade of junior high school, was still the size of an elementary school student, like a small garlic sprout. His sister Xie Wanying was more than 1.6 meters tall, so he was shorter in comparison.
"Let's wait until the second and third year of junior high school and see. His sister grew taller in the second year of junior high school." Sun Rongfang recalled her daughter's growth process. She said that raising a son is much more troublesome than raising a daughter. Yingying is obedient and listens to her mother, while her son is naughty and mischievous all day long and secretly fights with her.
"How are your brothers and sisters?" Sun Rongfang asked about her goddaughter's recent situation.
"My sister is going to graduate from college this year," said Wu Lixuan.
The second child of the Wu family, Wu Lizhen, was studying at the Business College in the provincial capital of her hometown, and was admitted to university just one year later than Xie Wanying.
"Has she found a job?" Sun Rongfang asked.
"We don't worry about her." Wu Lixuan said the truth. Her sister is more capable than her. Wu Lizhen learned foreign languages well in college, participated in school practical activities and appeared at the trade exchange meeting two years ago. She was able to contact manufacturers and make money as a personal agent.
Hearing that other people's daughters who were also college students were already contributing to the family income, Sun Rongfang sighed inwardly: she was becoming more and more worried about her daughter's future livelihood.
"Godmother, you don't have to worry about Yingying. Yingying is very popular among the teachers. I think she will have no problem finding a job." Wu Lixuan made a prediction based on her own observations when helping her childhood friend.
