Chapter 855: Memories of Xiao's Mother

"will not."

Xiao Xiao shook his head and then looked at the little girl, "I welcome Xiao Lingdang to come and play."

……

Little Bell smiled.

Her cheeks were red in the setting sun.

"Well, Mr. Xiao, let's go."

"Be careful on the road."

……

Watching the car disappear around the corner, Xiao Xiao turned around and walked home.

The little bell is the last one.

Ruan Xinyan and Yu Baozhu were picked up by their families before her.

……

The moment Xiao Xiao opened the door and walked into the yard, the elegant and rich fragrance of plum blossoms hit his nose.

With a bit of cool air.

It is particularly refreshing on a sultry summer evening.

……

"Wow~"

Water splashed and a scarlet figure jumped out of the water.

Another scarlet figure jumped out of the water.

The long bird tail trails behind it, emitting a faint glow in the afterglow of the setting sun.

……

Then, there were two "splash~splash~" sounds, and when I looked again, the two monsters were already playing in the water.

“Chuckle~Chuckle~”

……

The innocent and cheerful voice like that of a child echoed in the yard, creating a sense of weirdness.

……

"Xiaoxiao, it's time to eat."

Xiao's mother walked out of the house and shouted.

……

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze from the minnow and walked towards Xiao's mother.

……

He was also very curious about the mysterious dancer mentioned by little Xinyan.

Don't you know how beautiful the dance is?
However, everything depends on chance.

If fate allows, maybe he will be able to see her one day?
"Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about?"

It was rare for Xiao's mother to see her son distracted while walking, so she couldn't help but ask with some interest.

"there is nothing."

Noticing that Xiao's mother looked somewhat dissatisfied, he smiled and said, "I was thinking about the classmate that Xiao Lingling brought here today."

"One of them was a kid who was very afraid of thunder."

"Oh."

Xiao's mother nodded and said, "It's okay for a girl to be afraid of thunder."

Suddenly, Xiao's mother looked as if she remembered something and laughed out loud.

Xiao Xiao:?
"mom?"

"Feel sorry."

Mother Xiao covered her mouth and laughed, "I remembered your childhood."

"My childhood?"

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "It doesn't look like a good thing."

Otherwise, how could Xiao's mother laugh like this?

"Did I do something stupid?"

"no no."

Mother Xiao waved her hand, her voice still full of laughter, "You have been quiet and steady since you were a child, how could you do something stupid?"

A hint of regret appeared on his face.

This inevitably deprived her of a lot of fun in taking care of children.

Every time she heard people complain about how naughty their own kids were or what trouble they got into, she could only listen with a smile.

However, later, she found that although Xiaoxiao was not naughty and did not cause trouble -
However, sometimes what he did still caught them off guard and was beyond their expectations.

Because that's not something a child would do at all.

Just like what she just thought of.

When Xiaoxiao was six years old, one day he was the only one at home.

She went out with her child's father to buy supplies.

Grandpa and grandma also went out to meet old friends. That afternoon, the sky suddenly darkened, and then there were lightning, thunder, and howling winds.

The huge momentum has a somewhat dangerous connotation of "dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it".

She and the child's father hurried home.

The child is still young.

In the past, when there were thunderstorms, there were always adults around.

Now that I'm single, I don't know if it's scary.
When they arrived near their residence, they found that there was a power outage in the area?!
They became increasingly worried about their children.

Will the child be scared and cry?
However, when they rushed home in a hurry, the scene before them left them speechless.

Little Xiaoxiao was sitting upright in a chair, reading a book.

There is a cup of fragrant tea on the table in front, and a candle further ahead.

It illuminates a circular pattern centered on it.

There were thunder and strong winds outside, and soon, "clatter~"

It rained heavily.

But inside the house, there was a calm atmosphere.

The child turned to look at them, "Dad, Mom, you're back."

How could the calm tone and slightly smiling expression show any of the fear they had expected?
Not even a hint of uneasiness.

And, "Xiaoxiao, it's a good thing you can find candles at home."

Xiao's mother was a little surprised.

They had not previously told the child where the candles were kept in the house.

After all, no one had expected that they would encounter a power outage when they left the child alone at home.

This was also the first time the child experienced a power outage.

It was such a bad thunderstorm.

"One time, grandpa opened the cupboard and I saw the candles inside."

Xiao Xiaoxiao poured a cup of tea for his parents, "Dad, Mom, have a cup of hot tea."

Because they were anxious and it was raining heavily outside, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were still covered in sweat even with an umbrella.

Their trouser legs and sleeves were wet.

There were also water droplets on the hair and face.

"Oh, thank you."

Father and Mother Xiao held up the teacup with both hands in a daze.

The warm temperature passed through the cup wall to their fingertips and palms.

Their hearts were at peace.

They raised their teacups and took a sip.

The rich aroma of tea filled their mouths.

It tastes slightly bitter at first, and soon a faint sweetness seeps out of the tip of the tongue.

"Xiaoxiao, the tea is well brewed."

Considering Xiaoxiao’s current age, this level is really good.

Father Xiao had a gentle expression, his lips curled up, and there was some pride between his eyebrows.

Xiaoxiao is a kid who really has some talent in tea.

"Xiaoxiao, aren't you afraid at all?"

Xiao's mother put down the teacup and looked at her son with some confusion and emotion.

"Why be afraid?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

this problem
Mother Xiao was stunned for a moment, then she said, "Because it was thundering, and the thunder was very loud."

"It's dark outside, too."

“And there was a power outage.”

"You're home alone again."

In a situation like this, generally speaking, even if a child is not scared and crying, he shouldn't be so calm and composed?

Or do you not care at all?
In short, it is not the reaction of an ordinary child.

Xiao Xiaoxiao tilted his head, "What's wrong with the thunder?"

"It's getting dark because it's going to rain."

"The power outage is probably due to the thunderstorm."

"There are candles at home."

“It doesn’t matter if the power goes out.”

Xiao Xiaoxiao thought about whether he had missed any questions.

Soon, he thought of it.

"It doesn't matter if I'm alone."

"I'm not a kid anymore."

"I can take care of myself."
