Chapter 3213 Shift Change
The boy turned and looked at the woman.

……

"What your classmate just said..."

The woman folded her hands on her knees.

He showed an attitude of having a serious conversation.

……

boy:!?

He froze.

In fact, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Ever since his classmates left, he has been waiting for his mother to ask him something...

But my mother acted as if nothing had happened.

He originally thought his mother would wait until they got home to tell him.

But until after dinner, his mother still didn't say anything to him.

He thought the matter was over.

Although he had many doubts.

It is undeniable that he felt a great sense of relief.

did not think of……

Just when he had almost let the matter go, the conversation he had been waiting for...finally came.

……

The grapes in the boy's hand fell into the bowl.

The slight movement startled the boy.

……

The woman noticed the grapes that fell into the bowl. She looked at the boy and said, "You can eat the grapes."

"I just wanted to chat with you."

"Don't be so serious."

……

The boy shook his head in panic.

He forced a smile on his face.

Now that we're talking about this with him, how can he still have the heart to eat grapes?

His heart was beating as if there was a rabbit in his arms.

Don't let yourself get choked by your food and make things worse.

……

The woman did not force the boy.

She curled the corners of her mouth.

"Xuanxuan."

The woman's voice was neither hurried nor slow, gentle and soft.

The boy who was listening attentively felt a little relieved.

"Why do you suddenly like going to the park?"

……

Unexpected question...

The boy was stunned.

He thought...

Mom wants to ask him if what his classmates just said is true...

He was also very nervous about this issue.

Even though he had already thought of the answer.

That was the answer that Mom already knew.

But that answer is false.

The thought of deceiving his mother made him restless.

I was so nervous that even my heart started to ache.

……

result……

My mother actually asked him such a question...

Because of the accident, the boy became a little hesitant.

This question is not difficult to answer.

But he didn't know why his mother asked this question?
……

The boy tapped his fingers on the back of his hand.

Although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, the boy didn't want to keep his mother waiting for his answer.

He stammered, "...I went there by chance once and found a very beautiful maple tree there."

“It’s very quiet there too…”

He was somewhat afraid to look at his mother's expression.

……

“You like maple trees?”

The woman's heart moved.

……

The boy blinked.

His gaze fell on the woman's face with some hesitation.

"……Um."

That's right.

At first he was attracted to maple trees.

But the reason behind was naturally because of Crow.

That maple tree is beautiful.

But he didn't like the maple tree so much that he wanted to go to the park frequently to admire it.

……

"I'll take you to Xiangshan tomorrow."

The woman curled her lips.

"You probably don't remember."

"When you were little, we-"

The woman paused and said, "I've taken you to Xiangshan several times."

“You loved it there then.”

“I can stare at maple leaves for a long time without moving.”

"Like a little fool."

The woman's eyes were filled with smiles, as if she remembered the naive look of her own child at that time.

……

"Mother."

The boy was a little embarrassed.

Also a little surprising.

Did he like maple leaves very much when he was a child?

He doesn't even remember.

……

"You are still a child now."

The woman patted the child's head gently.

It was a little funny to see the child unconsciously recalling the past.

"That is -"

"Uh."

The woman was slightly stunned, then smiled with emotion.

“It turned out to be seven or eight years ago.”

"Time flies so fast."

"I thought it was only three or four years ago."

The woman looked at the boy with gentle eyes.

"At that time, I was the one who held you in my arms to see the maple leaves."

“It’s already this tall now.”

"I can't hold you anymore."

……

The boy's mouth curved slightly.

"I grew up."

……

"You've grown a lot taller than you did then."

The woman combed the child's hair.

"But growing up..."

"Still early."

"You are still a little kid now."

The woman said playfully.

……

boy:……

Although he wanted to argue that he was not a kid, he had grown up.

But he held back.

Only his mother can say he is a brat.

……

The woman smiled.

"You can eat the remaining grapes."

She pointed to the bowl of grapes.

……

"Then it's settled."

The woman stood up.

"Don't stay up too late today."

"We have to get up early tomorrow."

……

"Mom, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

the boy blurted out.

In fact, he had this doubt when his mother first told him that they were going to Xiangshan the next day.

But I hesitated for a moment and missed the opportunity to ask the question.

……

The woman was slightly stunned.

She looked at the boy with some surprise, with a smile in her eyes.

"Is Xuanxuan very clear about mom's shifts?"

……

The boy thought, isn’t this a matter of course?

But he didn't have the courage to say it.

……

The woman sat back down.

She looked into the child's eyes and said, "I plan to switch shifts with next week."

……

The boy's lips moved slightly.

There was a look of hesitancy on his face.

He actually didn't want his own affairs to affect his mother's affairs.

He didn't want his mother to think he was troublesome.

They can go on Sunday.

Or, maybe next week.

It doesn’t have to be tomorrow…

……

"That's it."

The woman pretended not to notice the child's hesitation.

She has her considerations.

Some issues cannot be delayed.

……

"……Um."

The boy found out that his mother was determined and stopped thinking about it.

He nodded.

He does whatever his mother says.

Since mom said we’re going to Xiangshan tomorrow, then let’s go to Xiangshan tomorrow.

……

"Do your homework."

The woman smiled.

"Do you like doing your homework in the living room?"

The woman frowned slightly.

The child is still young.

But the coffee table was still a little low for the boy.

……

"I'll go to my room and do it."

The boy also stood up.

……

"Take the grapes too."

The woman said with a smile.

……

"Ah."

"Ok."

The boy stuffed his homework and books into his schoolbag.

He picked up the bowl of grapes again.

After smiling at his mother, the boy went back to his room.

……

Sitting at the desk in the room, the boy was a little dazed.

He thought a lot.

Especially what those guys said to mom.

Originally, his classmates distanced themselves from him, talked about him behind his back, and even said some unpleasant things...

He didn't care particularly.

Compared to the fact that my dad left, these reactions from my classmates are just minor things.
