Liu Ying’s firm and clear eyes made people unwilling to break the only wish in the life of this simple girl who missed her mother.
Her wish was very simple. She wanted to live happily with her mother.
Liu Ying’s younger brother’s name was Liu Shi. The names of the two siblings were given by the educated people in Wuzhen, so it sounded not bad.
At night, Yun Jian and Liang Xiu Min were placed in the same room.
This room was damp and gloomy. In the middle of winter, the two of them shared a quilt that had already been covered. The smell of someone covering the quilt was stinky and very thin.
“This place is so broken! The quilt that was used to cover us is so thin and cold to death! And so stinky! The room is as stinky as a pigsty! I want to go home!”
Liang Xiu Min shrunk her body. It was already the hundredth time she dialed the phone in her hand. She wanted to make a call.
But there was no signal here, so the phone could not be dialed.
Not to mention a phone, there was not even an electric light here. At night, it was all lit by candles.
There were not even many candles, so they were all used sparingly.
Liang Xiu Min was a rich young lady. She naturally could not stay in such a place.
Yun Jian could understand.
After the blanket was pulled over, Yun Jian turned to Liang Xiu min and said, “Go to sleep.”
…
At 1:30 am, Liang Xiu Min, who was still in a daze and was about to wake up, gently pulled on the Yun Jian. “Can you accompany me to the toilet? I’m a little scared…”
If she had to go to the toilet at night, she would have to walk a few hundred meters before there was a latrine.
There was no toilet in the house.
Yun Jian was used to putting on her clothes to sleep at night, so she directly turned over and stood up.
Although Liang Xiu Min did not understand why yun Jian did not change into her pajamas to sleep, she did not ask.
When she came back from the toilet, she happened to pass by the room of the little girl Liu Ying and her brother Liu Shi.
“Sister, I’m so cold.”
“Be Good, little brother. When you sleep, you won’t be cold anymore. Go to sleep…”
If they were covered with a blanket, they wouldn’t be so cold that they couldn’t fall asleep no matter how cold they were. Yun Jian and Liang Xiumin could see through the thin gap between the wooden and paper windows that couldn’t block the cold wind that blew into the room from the outside.
Liu Ying and Liu Shi weren’t covered with anything. They were only wearing two more pieces of clothing, huddled together and shivering.
The two extra pieces of clothing were as thin as if they weren’t wearing anything. They were as thin as paper.
Seeing this scene, even a fool would know that these two young children had given Yun Jian and Liang Xiu Min the only quilt that Liang Xiu Min had previously disliked. It was thin, smelly, and dirty.
Seeing this scene, Yun Jian and Liang Xiu Min’s hearts seemed to be deeply moved by something.
Even Yun Jian’s expression could not help but change.
Liang Xiu Min tilted her head and glanced at Yun Jian. Then, she rushed into her and Yun Jian’s room. She carried the quilt and rushed to Liu Ying and Liu Shi’s room. In front of Liu Ying and Liu Shi, she threw the quilt on their bed.
Liang Xiu Min didn’t know how to speak. By the time she reacted, Liu Ying and Liu Shi were already staring at her in a daze.
Liang Xiu Min’s heart hardened. She closed her eyes and said stubbornly with the tone of a young miss, “I was woken up by the stench of this quilt! Don’t give this quilt to us to cover. Keep it for yourself! HMPH!”
After saying that, Liang Xiu Min ran back to her and Yun Jian’s room.
An eleven-year-old girl and a nine-year-old boy stared blankly at Liang Xiu min, who “Disliked”their quilt, running back to her room. They didn’t know what to do.
Yun Jian, who was hiding in the dark, saw this and narrowed his eyes.
Liang Xiu Min was clearly freezing to death, yet she still wanted to return the quilt to Liu Ying and Liu Shi. Her words were still so unpleasant to hear.
However… it was really like her Missy’s temper.
Liang Xiumin did not sleep for the whole night.
…
The next morning, after Liu Ying had made breakfast and fed her grandmother who was sick in bed, everyone sat at the table and ate breakfast.
Breakfast was porridge.
There were no side dishes.
Rather than saying it was porridge, it was more like a big pot of water with a small handful of rice put in and boiled out into fragrant rice and tea.
Eating this wouldn’t fill her up, but at least she wouldn’t starve to death.
Before heading to Wu Town, Liu Ying drew a stroke on a wall next to her home.
Half of the wall had already been covered by countless “Zheng”characters. After drawing this stroke, Liu Ying pulled her younger brother along with Yun Jian and Liang Xiu Min as they walked towards the mountain path in the town.
When they were almost at school, Liu Ying’s footsteps quickened.
Liang Xiu Min couldn’t help but be curious and asked Liu Ying, “Little sister, what did you draw on the wall just now?”
“I was waiting for mom to come back.”Liu Ying pulled her brother along as they walked briskly.
She walked in front and suddenly turned her head, revealing her small canine teeth as she smiled at Yun Jian and Liang Xiu Min. “Before dad left, he said that as long as I filled up the “Zheng”characters on the wall, Mom would come back.”
Some people lived a luxurious life, with big fish and big meat every day.
But some people had very small wishes.
No matter how poor and bitter they were, they only wanted their parents to accompany them when they grew up.
