The haggard look on his face was wiped away, and there was a smile on the corners of his brows and eyes: "Xiao Bai, I brought them specially for you... There are three here, and there are a few more at home, all for you, you
Do you like it?"
"I like it so much. Thank you uncle."
Yi Xiangxi held her hand tightly, "...Xiaobai, where have you been?"
"We went to Jiuzhaigou...it was so fun and beautiful there. However, some places were difficult to walk, and Sister Mai couldn't carry me. I saw other children being carried by their father...Uncle Yi,
How about we go play together next time?..."
"Okay, next time I will take Xiaobai with me. I will also carry Xiaobai on my back."
The child's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"When did uncle lie to you? Xiaobai, have you missed me these days?"
"Yes, I miss you every day, Uncle Yi, and I even bought you a gift. Look..." The child took out a rainbow lollipop from the panda-decorated bag he was carrying: "Uncle, this is
I bought it in Jiuzhaigou. Look, this lollipop is different from other lollipops, right? It has beef in it, and it’s delicious..."
"Ah? My little white guy bought me a gift?"
"Yes, I like to eat very much. Uncle, you must also like to eat..."
Yi Xiangxi laughed, and the worry and anxiety on his face suddenly disappeared like the haze in the sky when it was illuminated by the sun.
Qiao Xiaomai couldn't believe it.
This child! This child!
At that time, she was walking around in the store and had to buy something small. Xiaomai thought it was a child's nature and saw that the lollipop was fun, but unexpectedly, she bought it for Yi Xiangxi. Moreover, she had bought it for Yi Xiangxi before.
Nothing was revealed at all.
Xiaomai didn't know whether it was jealousy or anger in her heart, or even deep fear - as if her escape these days was not only in vain, but also, there was a real sense of betrayal between mother and daughter -
Qiao Maimai quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, "Xiao Bai!"
The child looked at her in confusion: "Sister Mai, what's wrong?"
"go back!"
She said with a stern tone, "Go back immediately!"
The child heard her loud reprimand, and for some reason, he immediately became disgusted and stood beside Yi Xiangxi without moving, still holding the doll tightly in his hand.
"Give it back!"
The child pursed his lips stubbornly and said nothing.
"Give it back quickly!!!"
Seeing that she was motionless, Qiao Xiaomai quietly stretched out her little hand and took Yi Xiangxi's hand, as if she had a protective spirit, but remained silent.
Her anger surged, and she snatched the doll from her hand and threw it on the ground. She said sternly: "How many times have I told you? Don't ask for things from strangers!!! Why don't you listen?"
"Uncle Yi is not a stranger!"
"Is he not a stranger? Who are you? You are a child who just takes things when you see them. Don't you know that there is no free lunch in the world? You have been bribed by a doll. You don't want to think about what other people have."
What is the purpose? Who is willing to give free benefits to others these days? You are greedy for petty gains at a young age. How many times have I told you? You can’t be greedy for petty gains. If you are greedy, you will suffer big losses. Don’t you understand? "
Although he was young, he was not a puppet and he had self-respect. But when he saw Sister Mai speaking harshly, robbing the doll and scolding her, Xiaobai had never been treated so rudely? He burst into tears.
