Chapter 144 I'll find a place for you

Lin Wanxia only stayed in the compound for one night before taking Xingxing back to the fishing village.

Xingxing insisted on going back to the fishing village.

He came home crying yesterday, and Lin Wanxia coaxed him for a long time.

Xingxing said he had a quarrel with his friends.

Lin Wanxia thought it was a bit exaggerated to break up with all the friends in the compound because of a quarrel, but she didn't think much about it. After all, children's emotions come and go quickly.

As a result, they were on the road the next day. Seeing that the little boy was still in a bad mood, Lin Wanxia realized that something was wrong and asked him, "Who offended our little Xingxing?"

Xingxing groaned twice and said angrily, "I don't want to be good friends with Doudou anymore."

"Why?"

"Doudou said bad things about you."

Lin Wanxia: "..."

She touched Xingxing's little head with relief, "You still know how to protect me? Not bad! It's worth it that I love you so much."

Xingxing became even angrier, hugged his little arms, and turned his head away.

After waiting for a few seconds without Lin Wanxia's comfort, he turned his head and glared at Lin Wanxia, ​​"A stepmother is a stepmother. I'm so sad and you don't comfort me!"

Lin Wanxia raised her eyebrows. Is she angry?

"Yesterday I asked you why you were unhappy. You just said you had a quarrel with a kid. Today I asked you what was wrong, and you said you didn't want to be good friends with Doudou anymore. Whether you quarreled with the kid or didn't want to be good friends with Doudou, it was your decision, right?"

Xingxing nodded.

"That's right! The quarrel was your decision, so you have to bear the consequences of the quarrel, such as unhappiness. You said the quarrel was because of me, so of course I have to praise you, right?"

Xingxing didn't say anything, but frowned. He felt something was wrong but couldn't figure it out, so he calmed down.

After a long while, he reacted and questioned Lin Wanxia: "Shouldn't you first ask me what bad things the kid said about you?"

Then he hugged him and praised him with great emotion.

Lin Wanxia smiled, "You just said that your stepmother was not good in this or that, and then you compared them and felt that what I said was different from what they said, so you got angry!"

Xingxing choked, stared at Lin Wanxia with her big eyes for a while, and let out a long breath like a little adult, "Lin Wanxia, ​​I'm angry with you! Really."

Seeing that Xingxing had calmed down, Lin Wanxia touched Xingxing's head, "Let me tell you a story! The name of the story is The Little Pony Crossing the River..."

The deliberate implication is that some things have to be done and felt by yourself to know the result. Everyone may have different feelings when doing the same thing.

Xingxing was only three years old and could not quite understand the meaning of this story.

Lin Wanxia broke it down and explained why the little pony needed to cross the river by himself.

Xingxing nodded, not quite understanding.

"The relationship between a stepmother and her child is like that little river. Some people may get along better with them, while others may not. This has to do with each person's personality, experience, and environment. The same goes for biological mothers and children."

Xingxing probably understood a little, "So just because their stepmother is not good, it doesn't mean that you are not good."

Lin Wanxia gave Xingxing a thumbs up, "So smart."

Xingxing grinned, with the corners of his mouth raised, his eyes curved into a crescent, and then he heard Lin Wanxia ask, "So why are you talking about me, the stepmother, for no reason?"

Xingxing: "..."

Xingxing, whose mood had improved, said nonchalantly, "They say stepmothers are bad witches. They also said that you were just pretending to be nice to me to cheat my dad out of his money."

Lin Wanxia complained in her heart: I have much more money than your dad!

"They also said that biological mothers will never forget their children's birthdays. Only stepmothers will forget. They also said that if you give birth to..." younger brothers and sisters, they will give me away.

This time, Lin Wanxia couldn't help but interrupt Xingxing: "When is your birthday?"

Xingxing's raised lips drooped again, and he said sullenly: "Today."

Lin Wanxia: "..."

The overwhelming guilt made Lin Wanxia a little at a loss.

She touched Xingxing's little head, held him in her arms, and apologized to him: "I'm sorry! I didn't forget your birthday. I didn't know today was your birthday."

Although the results are the same, the feelings are different.

It is also different for a child's childhood.

Xingxing looked up at Lin Wanxia with tears in his eyes.

"I really don't know." Lin Wanxia explained, "There is indeed a difference between a stepmother and a biological mother. Your biological mother is the one who gave birth to you. She first had to carry you for ten months.

That is to say, you took root and sprouted in her belly like a seed and grew into a tiny person before coming into this world.

During this period, she would have a hard time and she would understand better than anyone else in the world how you grew up.

On the day you were born, she had to endure a lot of pain. Many men may not be able to endure that kind of pain.

So she would remember the date of your birth to the minute and second, and she would not forget it.

But a stepmother is different. Take me for example. To be honest, I just joined you and dad last summer. We didn't know each other before that. I don't know what you and dad like or dislike, and I don't know your birthday just like you don't know my birthday.

We need time to make up for what we missed when we didn't know each other before.

For example, you can tell me in advance that today is your birthday, or tell me what kind of gift you want, so that you won't be unhappy if I give you the wrong one. You

only need to tell me the first time, and I will remember your birthday next year. "

There are some things that Lin Wanxia doesn't want Xingxing to know.

For example, Jiang Sinian should have told Lin Wanxia that Xingxing's birthday is today, but it seems that Jiang Sinian has forgotten it.

It can't be said that Jiang Sinian is not good, but he really doesn't do well in some small things. He has all the characteristics of a steel straight man.

He may be a good man, but he is definitely not a man with high emotional intelligence.

Like many men born and raised in the island city, he has responsibilities, but don't expect him to pay attention to all the details.

Moreover, there is no sense of ceremony in this era, and most families in the island city will not specially celebrate a child's birthday.

Even if it is celebrated, the mother will remember it and make something delicious for the child, or give some pocket money, and the birthday will be considered celebrated.

Sometimes all the children want is an attitude. After hearing what Lin Wanxia said, she immediately smiled: "My birthday is March 29th, and I want a slingshot as a birthday present. The same slingshot as Xiao Ming's."

Lin Wanxia nodded in response, and silently remembered that today is March 29th of the lunar calendar.

People here celebrate their birthdays according to the lunar calendar.

She thought for a while and said, "I'll go home and make some arrangements, and then we'll go back to the compound in the evening."

Xingxing was puzzled: "Why?"

"Go find a place for you!"
