"Youyou!"
"Mother!"
As soon as Xiaoyou saw her mother, she excitedly picked up her little backpack and ran towards the door.
Mo Niannian hugged her tightly, "Don't run so fast, be careful not to fall."
"Youyou won't fall." Little Youyou pouted and kissed her mother on the cheek. "Mommy, I missed you so much."
"You little rascal, did you listen to your teacher at kindergarten today?"
"Yes, Youyou is very well-behaved."
Mo Niannian went to ask the kindergarten teacher about Youyou's situation today. The teacher said that Youyou was very well-behaved and sensible. Although she was small, she would help the teacher a lot. She was a very smart little baby who learned everything very quickly.
Mo Niannian carried her into the child seat in the back of the car, fastened the seatbelt, then opened the driver's side door, got in, and started the car.
On the way, Mo Niannian noticed through the rearview mirror that Xiao Youyou was holding a rabbit doll in her arms, completely enamored with it. Strange, when did she bring her toys from home to kindergarten today? She hadn't even noticed.
"Yoyo, how about Mommy takes you to the amusement park this weekend?"
"No need, Mom, I've already gone."
"You went? When did you go? Did your dad take you?"
“It’s not Dad, it’s… one of Youyou’s good friends. He’s very nice to Youyou.”
"What good friend? How old are you? How old is your good friend? Did you go with your friend and their parents?"
"No, it's just that I went with my friend, his parents weren't there."
Mo Niannian didn't take her words to heart. The little one sometimes spoke incoherently, so she just listened to her without really paying attention.
I finally got a day off and had time to take her to the amusement park, but she refused to go.
If I don't want to go, I don't want to go. I'll just stay home and sleep in this weekend.

Back home, Xiaoyou asked Mo Niannian for her phone, saying she wanted to call her best friend.
"Don't play for too long, okay? Come out and wash your hands before eating, okay?"
"good!"
The little guy readily agreed, then, with his little backpack on his back and his short legs kicking, he dashed back to his room in a flash.
Once inside the room and the door closed, Xiaoyouyou took out the note that Xianmingyu had given her before leaving earlier that day from her small backpack. She pressed down the numbers one by one with her chubby little hands, put the phone to her ear, and started answering the call.
After a few beeps, the call was finally answered.
[Hello?]
Hearing the familiar voice on the other end, Xiao Youyou was very excited. It was her uncle, it was her uncle's voice.
She quickly grabbed her phone and shouted, "Uncle! Uncle! It's me, Youyou! Can you hear me?"
It's that little guy from today.
Xian Mingyu immediately realized she should have already gotten home from school by now. [Yes, I can hear you. Have you eaten?]
"Not yet, Mom hasn't cooked dinner yet. Uncle, would you like to come over for dinner? My mom's cooking is delicious."
Xian Mingyu chuckled twice. He was too embarrassed to bother them, saying, "No need, Uncle hasn't gotten off work yet."
"Oh..." the little guy replied sullenly, sounding somewhat unhappy.
Today her uncle took her out to play and treated her to so many delicious foods. She was originally planning to invite her uncle over for dinner, but what a pity!
"Uncle, when do you get off work? When will you come to play with me again?" Little Youyou missed her uncle a little after not seeing him for a while.
Just as Xuan Mingyu was about to answer her question, he suddenly heard a female voice coming from the other end of the phone.
"Youyou, come out and wash your hands and eat. You can't play on your phone for so long."
"Okay, I understand."
Xuan Mingyu listened intently, as if hallucinating. The woman's voice on the other end of the phone sounded so familiar, like her...
The next second he immediately dismissed the thought. No, how could that be?
Perhaps he missed her so much that he assumed it was her whenever he heard a similar voice.
"Uncle, I'm going to eat now. I'll call you again next time."
[Okay, go ahead.]
"Uncle, you should eat on time too, don't go hungry, bye-bye."
[Bye-Bye. ]

After Xiaoyou finished eating, Mo Niannian played with her for a while. When it was almost time, she filled the bathtub with water and gave her a bath.
Feeling nice and clean after her bath, Mo Niannian helped her dry off and put her on the bed. "Okay, baby, it's time to sleep."
"Okay. Mom, why isn't Dad coming home tonight?"
Mo Niannian was taken aback for a moment, "Oh, your dad is too busy. He'll be back as soon as he finishes work. You should go to sleep."
"Hmm, Mom, please read me a storybook," Little Youyou snuggled up to her mother and whined.
“Okay, Mommy will read you a storybook.” Mo Niannian took a storybook from the bookshelf, flipped through it, and sat down next to Xiaoyouyou to start telling her a story.
After telling two stories, Mo Niannian looked down at the little one on the bed, who was already fast asleep.
Mo Niannian closed the storybook in her hand, put it back on the bookshelf, tucked her in, and finally kissed her smooth forehead lightly. "Sweet dreams, my darling."
As she was about to leave her room, Mo Niannian suddenly noticed the small backpack that Xiao Youyou had previously left on the floor.
She picked it up, scolding, "Why do you always leave your backpack on the ground? The zipper isn't even zipped up properly."
She tidied up for her, then touched the innermost layer and found a slightly crumpled little note. "Hmm? What's this?"
