Chapter 6 The Sixth Sound of Mom
Compared to Baichuanmu's "ambitious" speech, Xiaoxia Youjie's voice seemed to lack "confidence" a lot, it was intermittent, and not that loud. Baichuanmu held the ice cream like a torch, while Xiaoxia Youjie's hands were a little shaky, and then...
"Plop..." Xiao Xia Youjie's ice cream fell, and now only the cone was left in his hand.
Xiao Xia Youjie: (oＡOchuan)!
"Puchi," Baichuanmu saw Xiaoxia Youjie's panicked expression and burst out laughing, "Hahaha..."
Originally, little Xia Youjie was a little panicked, even a little scared. He knew that his mother worked very hard and it was not easy to make money. She had told him to be frugal and not to waste, especially not to waste food.
After accidentally dropping half of his ice cream on the ground, Xiao Xia Youjie's first reaction was not to feel sorry for the ice cream, but to worry that his mother would criticize him.
Although his mother was gentle when educating him, he still didn't want to be criticized by her... He hoped not to be a burden to her...
But Baichuanmu burst out laughing.
He heard his mother's laughter.
Xiao Xia Youjie blinked and looked at Bai Chuanmu. She smiled happily. The panic and fear in her heart disappeared. She felt much relieved. He pursed his lips and looked at Bai Chuanmu with some grievance.
Xiaoxia Youjie: (O∧O)
"Mom..." Xiao Xia Youjie tugged at the corner of Baichuanmu's clothes, looked at the cone in his hand, and then looked at the ice cream on the ground that was slowly melting, "My ice cream fell... Can I still eat it if I pick it up?"
"Hahaha, the three-second rule doesn't apply to ice cream. Come on," Baichuanmu swapped the ice cream in his hand with that in Xiaoxia Youjie's hand, "just exchange it with mom. It just so happens that I can't finish so much, so Xiaojie will help mom eat it~"
Without waiting for Xiao Xia Youjie to refuse, Bai Chuanmu finished the cone in two bites, then took out a napkin from his bag, cleaned the ice cream on the ground and threw it into the trash can.
After cleaning up, Bai Chuanmu clapped her hands and felt that her palms were still a little sticky. Maybe she accidentally got some ice cream on them. Although she had a water cup in her bag...it should be considered a water cup. She used a beverage bottle to hold water. Although it was made of glass, it was still good to use as a water cup. Now the packaging on it could not be seen clearly.
"Xiao Jie, is there any water in your cup?"
Xiao Xia Youjie nodded: "Yes, it's in my schoolbag."
Xiao Xia Youjie's schoolbag is a blue canvas bag, which is not very suitable for children to carry. Moreover, it has been used for many years. It was originally azure blue, but now it has become a little white after being washed, and is more like sky blue.
Although it is not damaged, it looks a bit old.
Let's take Xiao Xia Youjie to choose a new schoolbag at the weekend, Bai Chuanmu thought as he opened Xiao Xia Youjie's schoolbag. There were not many things in it, but they were all neatly organized. The books were sorted by size, the pencil cases and water cups were placed in different compartments, and the handkerchief was washed clean and folded neatly in the net bag.
The water cup is a cute little yellow duck-shaped thermos, which is the only relatively childlike thing in the house. His pencil case and handkerchief are both simple ones.
Bai Chuanmu took out the water cup, shook it, and felt that it was almost full.
"Xiao Jie, didn't you drink much water in kindergarten?" Bai Chuanmu was surprised, "You should drink more boiled water."
"I drank it!" Xiao Xia Youjie said with his little head tilted up, "I got another cup after school, but don't worry, mom, the water is warm and can be used to wash hands."
The kindergarten has a special place for collecting water, where children can collect water independently. The water there is warm, usually controlled between 40 degrees Celsius and 50 degrees Celsius. It may be a little colder occasionally, but it will not be overheated to prevent children from getting scalded.
"This way, if you want to drink water when you get home, you don't have to boil water." Xiao Xia Youjie added.
Bai Chuanmu sighed softly. This child is so sensible. He felt a little distressed.
"I see, Xiaojie is really smart," Baichuanmu praised with a smile, opened the water cup and handed it to Xiaoxia Youjie, "Just pour a little water for mom, probably one or two sips will be enough."
"Yeah!" Xiao Xia Youjie nodded seriously.
Xiao Xia Youjie's other little hand was still holding the ice cream, but fortunately his little yellow duck water cup was not very big, so he could barely hold it with one hand.
Bai Chuanmu put his hands together and stretched them in front of Xiao Xia Youjie. Xiao Xia Youjie tried hard to grab the water cup and poured water carefully. He wanted to control not to pour too much, but it was still a bit difficult for one small hand to hold the cup. He accidentally poured out one third of the water, which was a bit too much. The water droplets also splashed Bai Chuanmu's black sneakers.
The water stains were not very obvious, but Xiao Xia Youjie still noticed it.
He pouted and looked at Bai Chuanmu cautiously, but the gentleness on her face remained unchanged and the corners of her mouth were still raised.
"Oh, it's cleaner with more water, thank you, Xiaojie." Baichuanmu said, wiping her hands with a handkerchief, then took Xiaoxia Youjie's little yellow duck water cup, covered it and put it back in his schoolbag, and tried the weight of the schoolbag, which was relatively light, but she still suggested, "Do you want your mother to help you carry the schoolbag?"
"No need," Xiao Xia Youjie couldn't help but smile, "I can do it myself, it's not tiring."
"Not bad, not bad, you are very manly, but, Xiaojie, if you don't eat the ice cream, it will melt. Look, it's almost flowing onto your hands." Baichuanmu pointed at the ice cream in Xiaoxia Youjie's hand and said, "Eat it quickly."
"Oh!" Xiao Xia Youjie let out a short exclamation and quickly ate the melted part of the ice cream.
Baichuanmu chuckled, took Xiaoxia Youjie's hand, and said, "Don't be careful to drop it this time. Well, what should we go see next? We've seen tigers and lions... let's go see peacocks? Maybe we can see a peacock spreading its tail, which should be very beautiful. Elephants and giraffes are also quite close to peacocks."
Baichuanmu remembered every animal that Xiaoxia Youjie mentioned he wanted to see, but it was a pity that he couldn't see the pandas this time. Next weekend, he would take Xiaoxia Youjie to a bigger zoo. Hanai Zoo was still a little small.
"Yeah." Xiao Xia Youjie nodded and ate the ice cream happily.
It seemed to be even better than the ice cream I just ate. Every taste bud could taste the sweetness. It smelled good too, with the aroma of eggs and cream. It had a soft texture, like marshmallows, but it was cool and didn't melt so quickly.
The strawberry taste is relatively light and the aroma is not that strong, but it is not superfluous, but rather the icing on the cake. The aftertaste has a little more sweet and sour fruit, making the taste more layered.
Xiao Xia Youjie remembered the little secret his mother told him. His mother said that she would always remember the taste of the matcha ice cream, so he would also always remember the ice cream he ate today.
But it's strawberry flavored.
