Young children cannot understand the true meaning of death. The same goes for Fang Yu. He did not understand it even though it had been so long gone, and now, after seeing that his father had really never returned, he finally understood the difference between not returning often and never returning.
“Brother Shao Xi, I actually miss Dad a little, but I haven't told Mom yet. I'm afraid mom will cry.
“I want him to give me a ride, like all the fathers of the other children. He makes me fly all the time. No one took me flying anymore.
“Brother Shao Xi, I am also a little afraid I will forget what Dad looks like because I haven't seen him in a long time. If he doesn't return in the future, I'll forget about him. Before Mom moved in with me, I couldn't bear to part with Little Sister Hua, but now, I rarely think about it. I'm afraid I'll also forget about Dad in the future and forget what he looks like.
“I was so scared, so I stole a photo of my dad from Mom last night. I'll see it when I'll forget his face in the future.
“But I'm so afraid Mommy will know. If you knew, he'd hit me. There are only three photos of Dad. Mom will know. I was also really afraid that I would lose it by accident. ”
If he lost the photo, Fang Yu might completely forget what his father looked like, so he was very worried.
Shao Xi initially smiled as she read the letter, but when she finished reading it, she could not smile anymore. He's feeling a little upset.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, “You can ask your mother if she has any negativity. Negative can be used to develop photos. If he manages to find some, you can develop more, like even 100 of them. That way, you'll have plenty of photos of her. A lot of people don't even have 100 photos in their lives, so your father won.
“In addition, by doing this, you need not fear losing photos again.”
Shao Xi made a suggestion. He really hoped he would soon find out that his father was not a petty villain but a great hero.
Shao Xi replied to the letter and asked Shao Qiyang to help her send it the next day. Shao Qihai, who happened to be beside them, saw the address on the envelope. "What did you write? Will you keep in touch?”
“I just wrote something about developing photos. If nothing goes wrong, we will stay in touch.” Shao Xi glanced at Shao Qihai. “What's up, Dad? Can't we just keep in touch?”
Shao Qihai was conflicted. “Not really...” It would be strange if he suddenly said that they were not allowed to contact each other.
Mu Jingzhe did not know about the small incident between them. He went out and asked, "Have you applied for school leave?"
Bai Lu's death anniversary was about to arrive, and since they finally decided to pay their respects, the children needed to apply for leave first.
"Yes," Shao Qihai replied quickly. “The teachers have agreed, but they say that they should return as soon as possible. The final exam is coming soon, and they will miss the grades again.”
Just because the children had performed well and would pay homage to the anniversary of their mother's death, the teachers agreed. Otherwise, at a time like this, the teachers would not have agreed to their leave requests.
Two days before Bai Lu's death anniversary, Shao Qihai brought Shao Dong, Shao Xi, Shao Nan, Shao Nan, and Shao Bei went to Bai Lu's hometown to pay his respects to Bai Lu and also met their maternal grandparents.
Shao Qihai led the four of them there, leaving Xiao Wu alone at home. As soon as they left, Mu Jingzhe was completely unfamiliar. He felt that the house was empty.
Although the children would have gone to school before, they sometimes ran back during recess. Moreover, he would worry about their food and water, so he did not feel they were not there.
However, when they actually left this time, the place suddenly felt empty. As he prepared lunch, Mu Jingzhe was still used to preparing their parts. Only when he regained consciousness did he quickly bring everything back.
Shao Qiyang was busy working and was also not at home, so there was only him and Xiao Wu. Mu Jingzhe suddenly did not know how much food he had to cook.
Shao Dong, Shao Xi, Shao Nan, and Shao Bei were all in a growth phase and were not picky about food. Their appetite was not small, and even Little Bei ate quite a lot. Mu Jingzhe spent a lot of energy and ate quite a lot every day. Shao Qihai and Shao Qiyang ate more, so he usually cooked a lot of food every day.
Now, just the two of them ... Mu Jingzhe scratched his head.
"Xiao Wu, how much do you think we should eat?"
The two of them discussed the portion before starting to cook, but in the end, he still prepared too much. Looking at the leftovers and vegetables, he said, "If your older brother is here, we'll spend it all."
Xiao Wu looked at Mu Jingzhe and ran out. After a while, he returned with a small drum tied around his waist. "Mom, let me play the drums for you."
He knew that his mother was not used to it. Ever since his brothers left, he was a little distracted because he missed them.
Fortunately, he's still there. Otherwise, what would you do if you were alone?
Xiao Wu turned into a sticky candy and stuck to Mu Jingzhe's side all day, talking to him nonstop. From time to time, he would pluck small flowers and put them in an empty drink bottle. He would then put them in the kitchen to surprise her.
Every now and then, he would run out. For the next two days, Xiao Wu would pluck all the flowers by the roadside in the village. That's not enough. Xiao Wu even spent money to buy sunflowers.
It just so happened that it was the spring of the sun blooming. In the Great Eastern Village, many people would plant sunflower circles on the outer edge of their corn fields so that they would have sunflower seeds to eat in the future.
Sunflowers look beautiful when they bloom. Mu Jingzhe had admired their beauty before, so Xiao Wu wanted to give it to Mu Jingzhe to make her happy.
Other children would also mischievously tear off the sunflower petals when they saw it. Not Xiao Wu. After careful selection, she finally picked the sunflowers in Li Fang's field. She felt that hers was the most beautiful and went to buy it with her allowance.
Li Fang wanted to refuse the money, but Xiao Wu left the money just like that and ran home with sunflowers in his hands.
"Mom, come and see what this is?"
Mu Jingzhe's eyes widened. "Where did you pick it?" Oh no, he should apologize later.
“Bu, no matter where it comes from. Do you like it? Is it beautiful?”
"It looks good, but..." But he has to apologize. Mu Jingzhe felt helpless. He would tell Xiao Wu that he should not pick flowers carelessly in the future and that sunflowers could be allowed to grow in the fields so that people could admire him for a few more days. Also, there would be sunflower seeds to eat in the future if one let them, so why pick them?
Mu Jingzhe, who would take this opportunity to talk to Xiao Wu about this, heard him say, “That important thing is beautiful. The sunflowers are spinning after the sun. I turned around to follow you, Mom. You are my sunflower.”
Xiao Wu reached out and placed the sunflower on Mu Jingzhe's arm.
Mu Jingzhe's heart was beating faster. "Xiao Wu ..." What kind of incredible son was Xiao Wu?
Since she was already Little Wu's sunflower, she decided to let her become a brat just once. Children who were not naughty before were not considered to have a perfect childhood. It's not a big deal to apologize. After all, she was Little Wu's sunflower.
Mu Jingzhe abandoned his principles and hugged Xiao Wu, kissing her twice. He felt that Xiao Wu's smile was brighter than a sunflower.
After two kisses, Mu Jingzhe still felt it was not enough. He could not help but turn around a few times with Xiao Wu in his arms. Xiao Wu chuckled, afraid that his sunflowers were broken.
“Bu, sunflower. Don't ruin it.”
"No problem. It won't break.”
