"Uncle Chocolate has something to do. He has a meeting and won't be coming tonight..."
The child put down the pudding, not without worry: "Sister Mai, have you really resigned and stopped going to work?"
She nodded.
"Sister Mai... if you don't go to work, what will we eat in the future? Are we going to have nothing to eat after using up the family's savings?"
The child's worried look amused her, and she patted the child's face: "Are you afraid of being hungry?"
The child didn't know how to answer, so he murmured: "Dad said he would always support me... But, Sister Mai... I don't know if dad will support you..."
She answered seriously: "Silly boy, Uncle Yi has no obligation to support me, do you understand? I have nothing to do with him, and he does not have to support me. Only people who are legally husband and wife have the obligation to support each other, and Uncle Yi and I have no obligation to support each other."
They are two completely unrelated people. From now on, you must never say this in front of him, okay?"
"Is it true that daddy won't raise you?"
She flatly said: "No! I don't need him to support me either."
The child suddenly got off the table and went to get his school bag.
"Xiaobai, you don't want to eat?"
Xiaobai took out a small wallet from her schoolbag and walked over, opened it, and found several new hundred-dollar bills in it. She took out the bills and handed them over: "Sister Mai, this is my pocket money, take it."
Mai was curious: "Why did you give me money?"
The child sighed like an adult: "Look, Uncle Chocolate doesn't even come back for dinner. I watched a show on TV. If a girl doesn't go to work, over time she will become a housewife, and boys won't like her.
.Sister Mai, does Uncle Chocolate not come back for dinner because he doesn’t like you?"
"..."
"Dad will give me pocket money, but Sister Mai, no one will give you money to use in the future... Although I say I can support you when I grow up, I haven't grown up yet... Sister Mai, I
It will take a long time to grow up..."
The child's big eyes were full of worry, "How about I ask dad to give you money too? Dad showed me a bunch of things. He said that when I grow up, give them all to me, Sister Mai,
I'm going to ask dad for it today, can I ask him to give them to you?"
Qiao Xiaomai hugged her tightly, and her eyes suddenly became moist. She was not worried about her own lack of support for this child, but she was worried about her - Qiao Xiaomai!
After a while, her voice was still slightly hoarse: "Xiao Bai, don't worry, Uncle Chocolate will take care of me..."
"But today is your birthday, and he won't come back... Sister Mai, will he like you less?"
"Silly boy, adults have adult things to do. Uncle Chocolate is busy...it's urgent and he can't leave. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand! It was shown on TV. If a boy likes a girl, he will never forget her birthday. You see, if my father likes me, he will always remember my birthday..."
"Uncle Chocolate is really something. Uncle Chocolate is very busy at work, and he makes money for us, right? Moreover, I never told him that today is my birthday, maybe he doesn't know at all. I can't blame him,
right?"
The child murmured something and wanted to say something, but stopped. He said, "Sister Mai, how about we ask dad to come and celebrate his birthday together?"
