Chapter 309: Mom Is the Best in the World
"That's okay. I'll advance my future vacations." Liu Baoer said proudly, with a look on her face that said, look how smart I am.
"That's wishful thinking. See if your director agrees. Half a month is possible, but a month, unless the circumstances are special, no leader will agree." Zhong Tongxin poured a basin of cold water on Liu Baoer.
"Mom, don't pour cold water on me. What if the director agrees? I have secured a lot of canned food for him. Our supply and marketing cooperative has made money this year." Liu Baoer argued unconvinced.
"That's impossible. I'm not trying to discourage you. I just want you to stop dreaming. The sun is still high outside." Zhong Tongxin pointed to the sunshine outside.
The sun seemed to be helping Zhong Tongxin verify it, and the sunlight just happened to shine on the back of Liu Baoer's right hand.
Liu Baoer angrily covered the sunlight on the back of her right hand with her left hand, and the sunlight playfully came out and covered the back of her left hand that was covering her right hand. Liu Baoer moved her hand away in annoyance, and the sunlight was swaying on the table, as if mocking Liu Baoer.
Liu Baoer moved the soup bowl away angrily, and the sunlight fell into the soup and merged into it. It was no longer possible to tell the sunlight from the soup, except that the soup was brighter.
Yike looked at Liu Baoer's childish and ridiculous behavior and burst out laughing. I once again sighed in my heart that this cousin is so happy.
"What are you laughing at? Even you are laughing at me."
Liu Baoer stopped arguing with her mother Zhong Tongxin, and turned around to pester Yi Ke, insisting that Yi Ke give her an exact time.
But there is no exact time. She has many things to do.
"Cousin Baoer, I really don't have time. I definitely can't go this year." Yi Ke said helplessly.
"Why? Your mother misses you so much, and you don't go to work. You can leave at any time." Liu Baoer asked puzzled.
"I'm not going to work, but I'm going to can and dry fruit. You don't want to can?"
"Oh, do you still need to make that can?"
"I want to help. Any more I can do is better, right?"
"Humph, you're just making an excuse. You don't want to go see my aunt. You still haven't accepted her in your heart."
"Liu Baoer!" Zhong Tongxin shouted harshly.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I was just saying that, cousin, don't take it to heart."
"It's okay. I'm worried about going up there, but you can't tell anyone next time, or our friendship will be ruined."
"No, absolutely not, and I don't think so. Well, I just want to go see my sister, and I thought I could borrow your way to go."
…
The meal ended with everyone chatting and laughing.
After the meal, the aunt gave Yike the 500 yuan and a stack of various bills sent by Zhong Qixin, as well as a package containing a pair of leather shoes, a pair of cotton shoes, two sets of cotton clothes and trousers, two sets of autumn clothes and trousers, and several pairs of socks. Yike thought of the song "Only Mother is Good in the World". So she put the clothes and shoes into her backpack, humming softly:
There is only one good mother in the world. Children with mothers are like treasures. Thrown into mother's arms, they can enjoy endless happiness. There is only one good mother in the world. A child without a mother is like a weed. Where can he find happiness without his mother's arms?
As she sang, tears began to flow uncontrollably because she missed her mother from her previous life.
She happened to be out of the country when her mother passed away, so she didn't see her mother for the last time. This has always been a regret in her heart, and her heart aches every time she thinks of it.
"Good child, don't cry. Your mother didn't know before, but now that she knows she has a daughter like you, she loves you so much. So, you are now the treasure in your mother's heart." Aunt Zhong Tongxin patted Yi Ke's back and comforted her.
Liu Baoer also handed a handkerchief to Yi Ke with tears in her eyes, and choked up and said, "Cousin, wipe it off. Your lyrics are so good. After listening to them, I suddenly feel so happy. I am my mother's baby."
Liu Baoer suddenly hugged Zhong Tongxin, "Mom, I love you so much. It turns out that I am your treasure, not a piece of grass."
"Silly girl, of course you are my mother's baby." Zhong Tong touched Liu Baoer's face with satisfaction and said with emotion, "Mother loves you too, dear, mother will pack things for your cousin."
Yi Ke felt a little embarrassed, wiped her tears with a towel, and said to Liu Baoer: "Cousin, I'm sorry, I made it dirty for you, I'll go wash it."
"Give it to me, I'll wash it myself, but don't cry next time, I don't have that many towels." Liu Baoer said with a smile.
While helping Yike pack his things into his backpack, Zhong Tongxin persuaded him, "If your mother saw you crying so sadly, she would probably quit her job and rush over to accompany you. You were a weed before, and your adoptive mother treated you badly, but now everything is over. You have your biological mother who loves you now, and you are your mother's baby now."
After everything was packed, Zhong Tongxin said earnestly, "Actually, your dad misses you too. I heard from your mom that when he heard you were still alive, he didn't sleep the whole night. He and your mom were discussing how to recognize you. He was also worried that you wouldn't recognize them. If it wasn't for his work that prevented him from taking a long vacation, your dad would have come to see you with your mom last time. They really love you, not just to make it up to you."
"Aunt, I only know that I can feel that my mother is really good to me, and it's the same for you too. I really love her, too. When I sang this song, I thought that I am no longer a child without a mother, but a child with a mother. I also want to be with my mother, cook delicious meals for her, sing for her. I want to hear my mother's voice and see her face when I get up..." As Yi Ke spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she hurried to the faucet to wash her face vigorously.
Zhong Tongxin looked at Yi Ke who was washing his face, thinking about something.
Yike and Liu Baoer went to take a nap, but Zhong Tongxin did not. She rode her bike to the post office and called her sister Zhong Qixin.
Zhong Tongxin told her sister the lyrics of the singable song "Only Mom is Good in the World" on the phone. Zhong Qixin burst into tears on the phone and kept saying "poor child".
Finally, Zhong Qixin told her sister Zhong Tongxin that she would write a retirement application in the afternoon. She wanted to retire early and come to be with Yi Ke after retirement.
Zhong Qixin asked her sister Zhong Tongxin not to tell Yike and wait until she came.
Little did she know that a nursery rhyme from her previous life actually made her mother in Kyoto decide to retire early, which coincided with what she asked her uncle to convey, and also had an unexpected effect.
Yike cried at noon and sang the song "Only Mom is Good in the World", which brought back memories of her mother in her previous life. So now she is dreaming about the scene when her mother taught her to sing this song when she was a child. In her dream, she snuggled in her mother's arms and sang: Only Mom is good in the world, a child with a mother is like a treasure, thrown into the arms of her mother, happiness is endless...
