Huo Xiaolong tapped his fingers, nodded, and whispered...
"Okay, Mom, Mother."
He Yi waved her hand, signaling her to leave.
Although Cen's mother felt sorry for her, she agreed that He Yi should teach her a lesson.
Things can be bought, and money can be spent. But it must never be wasted. Every penny is hard-earned; even if it doesn't come from your own sweat, it represents the hard work of someone else, doesn't it?
"Don't worry, little sister. Long'er loves you the most. I hope you won't do it again."
"Thank you, sister. I'll need your help again tonight. I have some things to take care of at home," He Yi said to Cen Ang, glancing at Huo Shuwen.
Mother Cen nodded and went back to Fengyue Tower. She originally intended to take Huo Xiaolong back with her, but there was no one in the courtyard, and she didn't know where the child had run off to.
"So you'll give her whatever she wants? Then why don't you pluck the moon from the sky for her if she wants it?"
The man sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) was being scolded like a quail. He knew he was wrong, but he couldn't change!
Who can resist their four-year-old daughter glaring at them, waving her sleeves, and begging for affection?
"Give it to me if you can pick it."
"you……"
"I'll give it to you even if you want it."
Huo Shuwen's words silenced He Yi, who poked the man's head.
"You just keep spoiling her."
The man nodded, meaning he knew he was wrong, but whether he would repeat the mistake next time was another matter.
"Get out of my way," He Yi said, shaking off the man's arm.
"What are you doing, Ah Yi?"
"I have to mend these cotton-padded pants for her. There's such a big hole in them. Even if I give them to someone else tomorrow, they'll be completely bare. It's so unseemly."
"Then I'll light a few more lamps for you."
The romantic scene of a handsome man and a beautiful woman under the moonlit flowers here seems quite out of place with the crying of a child from the house next door.
Two incense sticks later, Hou Xiangxiang heard the coded signal and ran out of her house with red eyes to meet Huo Xiaolong.
Why are you crying? Did your mother hit you?
The little girl's heart has become wild. After running home, she didn't go back to her room. Instead, she called her grandfather over and made him ride a big horse to watch the fun. In the end, she even climbed up the wall to listen to Huo Xiaolong howling.
She was already quite adept at this, but unfortunately, her mother saw it today and dragged her down, giving her a few slaps on the buttocks.
Miss Hou had never been beaten so humiliatingly in her life; before, she was always slapped on the palm by the nanny.
"My mother said she'd see what the punishment would be, and that I'd be punished along with you."
"Oh, it's nothing. I'll just deliver the cotton-padded trousers to the little beggar outside the county tomorrow."
“Okay, let’s go together then,” Hou Xiangxiang nodded.
"Does it hurt when your mother hits you? Why are you crying?" Huo Xiaolong looked at the little girl's red eyes and almost laughed.
Why didn't you cry?
"I'm not in pain, why am I crying?"
"Forget it, your mother's strong, it'll definitely hurt."
"It doesn't hurt! She's just weak."
"Come on, I saw your mother helping to carry our marble table with one hand when we moved a few days ago."
"It's not big, it doesn't hurt at all, you can try it another day if you don't believe me."
"You can enjoy it yourself. I want to eat sesame seed cakes, so you buy them for me." Hou Xiangxiang finally remembered that the little girl in front of her had betrayed her just now, so it was only right that she asked her for a sesame seed cake!
"Okay! No problem!"
A tall girl and a short girl ran hand in hand towards the door, the golden sunlight from the sky enveloping them in warmth. The sun's rays brought a lazy, comfortable feeling. The winter chill seemed to soften at that moment, no longer biting. Such sunlight made one want to slow down and savor this tranquility and beauty.
