“Mom, look at the little flowers I picked.”
When the atmosphere was the most awkward, Baowa rushed in like a gust of wind, holding a bunch of wildflowers in his hand.
“Sister, run slower.”
Zhuangwa, the brother, followed closely behind his sister, with his hands stretched out, ready to hold Baowa if she stumbled and fell.
“Today we went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. I saw that this flower was very beautiful, so I picked it for Mom and Grandma.”
Baowa was sweet-mouthed and clever by nature. She could coax Third Grandma Xu, a grandmother who was a bit biased toward boys, into submission.
“This one is for Mom, this one is for Grandma, and… this one is for Dad.”
She divided the little wildflowers in her hand into several portions and gave the most beautiful ones to her mother and grandmother. She glanced at her father who suddenly appeared beside her, hesitated for a while, and gave some of the wilted little flowers to her father.
Baowa was much more receptive to this father than her Brother Zhuangwa. After Kuang Aijun coaxed her for a few days, she would hug and kiss him, and occasionally, she would say a few sweet words to him.
Unlike Zhuangwa, he was very tense and allowed Kuang Aijun to show him all kinds of kindness, but he never took the initiative to show anything.
Kuang Aijun was not discouraged. He knew in his heart that even Baowa, who was the closest to him now, did not really regard him as a father.
If he wanted to get into the hearts of the two children, he still had to work hard.
“Mom, what smells so good? Baowa’s stomach is so hungry.”
After dividing the wildflowers, the little girl moved her nose and smelled the fragrant smell of roasted sweet potatoes.
For children of this generation, roasted sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, tender corn, and sweet corn stalks were all snacks that could satisfy their cravings.
The conditions of the Kuang family were good, but Ah Wu was not the kind of mother who indulged her children too much.
Baowa and Zhuangwa were not spoiled to the point that they would not eat any candy that was not from the supply and marketing cooperative, or any biscuits and pastries that were not produced by the food factory.
“Your mother just roasted some sweet potatoes. Our Baowa is so well-behaved that Grandma won’t eat them. I’ll pick the biggest one for our Baowa.”
Third Grandma Xu was holding a bunch of small red flowers in her hand, her gums almost showing from her smile. She picked out the largest sweet potato from the plate and handed it to Baowa.
There were not many roasted sweet potatoes on the plate because Ah Wu didn’t think that the two children would come back so early.
According to the convention, every time after the rain, the children in the village would go into the mountains to pick mushrooms, and there would be older children with them.
In the countryside, children aged 14 or 15 were as mature and stable as adults, so there was nothing to worry about.
Generally speaking, it always took several hours to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms.
Ah Wu planned that the children would come back at lunchtime, so when she boiled water and roasted sweet potatoes, she didn’t count their share.
At this moment, Third Grandma Xu picked the biggest one for her granddaughter, and there were only three smaller sweet potatoes left on the plate.
When Baowa came back, the roasted sweet potatoes had already been taken out and cooled for a while. Now the temperature was just right. Although it was still very hot, it was not so hot that it could not be held.
She stood on tiptoe and looked at the remaining sweet potatoes on the plate and then looked at the big sweet potato in her hand.
After thinking for a while, she split the sweet potato in half and gave the other half to her Brother Zhuangwa so that the half sweet potato in her hand was almost the same size as the remaining whole sweet potato.
“Grandma eats, Dad and Mom eat, and Brother eats too.”
After saying that, she lowered her head and took a bite, feeling the sweet and soft taste in her mouth, her eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.
“Cao Ni’er taught them well. Both children are sensible.”
Only then did Third Grandma Xu remember that her daughter-in-law was very strict in disciplining the children. Even the most spoiled Baowa was not a child who would eat alone.
Just now, she chose such a big piece of sweet potato for the child and said that she would not eat it herself. If she gave her share to the child, Baowa would definitely not be able to finish it.
