I soon returned to the vicinity of my own yard and heard the laughter of Xiao Shitou and Aqiu from afar. It seemed that Xiao Shitou was much happier these days.
Although the sensible little Shitou used to long for his mother's company, when he saw Chu Xi often reading or doing something, he would quietly play by himself or "flip through books".
Now he finally had a playmate. Even though the youngest, Aqiu, was many years older than him, that wasn't a concern for him. As long as he had someone to accompany him, he was happy. No matter what he did, even if it was reading or studying...
For a moment, Chu Xi was also infected by their carefree and innocent laughter, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly...
But before entering the house, she seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly stopped her bicycle.
I parked the car at the corner of the wall outside my yard, a slightly hidden corner.
Looking around, there was basically no one around. There were just a few old ladies chatting under the shade of a tree in the distance, so Chu Xi didn't pay much attention to it.
He pretended to bend down to look at his bicycle, then took out a large bag from his space. Inside it were chicken, duck, fish, meat, dried fruits, canned food, and other things that Chu Xi had packed in advance that he might need on the road...
Then there were a few pieces of cloth, but I didn't dare take too much. After all, there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Chuxia at home. To be able to live with her younger sister alone, she must be a very thoughtful person.
This is just for practice, you can also try it yourself and make a few clothes for a few people in your family...
Wait, suddenly, Chu Xi had several more strings of candied haws in her hands. These were the ones she had bought and stockpiled when she came to Kyoto before, and now she was going to use them.
So, pretending to be very tired, he shouted directly:
"Little Stone, Little Stone, A-Qiu, A-Qiu, come and pick me up, I'm dying of exhaustion..."
Now no one will doubt why it took me so long to come back. Kill two birds with one stone.
Immediately, I heard the "pa pa pa..." sound of the child's unique and cheerful footsteps inside.
"Mom, Mom is back..."
Soon, two little heads popped out from the door. When they saw Chu Xi, their eyes and brows were full of smiles. When they saw the candied haws in Chu Xi's left hand, the smiles turned into surprise!
"Wow, candied haws, candied haws..."
Compared to Xiao Shitou's innocent and "reckless" behavior, Aqiu is a little melancholy and a little timid.
Although Chu Xi also saw the desire in her eyes, and even the obvious swallowing movement in her throat, she still did not rush over. She just watched from a distance. That look in her eyes made Chu Xi feel a little bit reluctant...
"Aqiu, come quickly, come quickly, there are some delicious candied haws!"
Obviously, for her, who grew up in a small mountain village and even grew up with her grandparents, candied haws were just something in the legend. She only knew that they were delicious, especially delicious, but she had never even had the chance to see one.
Chu Xi, unable to keep her hands free, had no choice but to signal Little Stone. Little Stone, like a clever little ghost, was about to take a bite with a smile on his face. His saliva was almost flowing out...
But when he saw his mother's eye signal, he was a sensible child. He immediately took the other two candied haws from his mother's hand, then ran over and handed them directly to Aqiu who was still standing there.
"Sister, let's eat candied haws together. They are so delicious!"
As he spoke, Little Stone pointed at the candied haws.
"This is hawthorn. This? I don't know about this. Oh, and this transparent thing, mom said it's sugar, it's so sweet..."
A Qiu, who was a little eager and hesitant, finally mustered up the courage to take it, and his smile immediately blossomed.
"Thank you, Xiao Shitou, and thank you, sister!"
After saying that, she ran home immediately. She wanted to share the candied haws with her sister, and more importantly, share the joy.
Little Stone immediately ran after her. He knew that she had another mission to accomplish, and how could he forget his sister Chuxia about such a good thing?
Only Chu Xi was left with "want to cry but no tears".
"You little heartless ones! I asked you to come pick me up, but you all ran away..."
Chu Xia, who had just come out of the yard, couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard the scolding and laughter. Little Stone was really too naughty and cute...
When Chu Xi saw Chu Xia's smile, she suddenly realized that she had changed so much because of Xiao Shitou, and that these changes were all her own initiative and willingness...
One day, when you have your own children, I believe your life will be different from then on.
Your heart softens because of this fragile life. He is so small and weak and needs your care and love.
When you are running around outside, you wear a mask, learn to be cold and try to be ruthless. You have to do it in order to survive.

Maybe you have many dissatisfactions and disappointments with the current society, your family, your man, and even your work, but you feel joy from the bottom of your heart for the little baby in this family.
After having a little one, you forget many of your habits of pampering yourself. Now it’s different. Before, you thought people’s hands were closest to you, but after having a child, you realize that this is wrong. Being closest to your child is the closest thing to you, or more precisely, to love.
