"Now that the child's mother has arrived, I'm leaving."
…
"Thank you."
Orange thanks again.
"goodbye."
…
"Baby, say goodbye to grandma."
Oranges remind children.
…
The child came to his senses.
She smiled broadly at the old lady.
"Grandma, thank you."
Thank you grandma for helping her lie.
After hearing what the old lady said, she was surprised, grateful and happy.
The emotions are very complex.
"……goodbye."
…
"You're welcome."
The old lady winked at the child again.
"goodbye."
This time, the old lady really turned around and left.
…
Orange didn't doubt the child's words.
Instead, he patted the child's head appreciatively.
It was her negligence.
The child wanted to thank the old lady.
The old lady came to comfort the crying child...
This kind act deserves the child's thanks.
…
I didn’t expect that I would need to remind the children to say goodbye to the elderly, but I would think of saying thank you to the elderly...
Orange felt very happy.
"Baby is such a good boy."
…
The child blinked.
Then laughed.
Mom praised her.
She felt very happy.
…
"...You didn't wait at the school gate that time?"
Orange was surprised.
She remembered what the child said.
After all, it was a moderate "mistake" she made.
The fear and worry she felt at that time are still somewhat vivid to this day.
I just didn't expect it...
There is actually something behind this matter?!
Her child lied to her.
"Why did you lie to me?"
…
"I……"
The child lowered his eyes.
I dare not look at my mother.
…
"I'm not angry."
Orange slowed down his tone.
No matter what, it's all in the past.
As long as the child is okay.
She suddenly realized, no wonder this child looked guilty at first...
So that’s it.
She shook her head slightly.
Knowing what you are doing is wrong is still good.
…
"I'm surprised."
Orange looked at the child.
"I was surprised that there was an inside story to what happened back then."
"But after all, it happened back then..."
"You're fine too."
"That's the most important thing."
…
The child pursed his lips slightly.
The corners of his mouth widened a bit.
…
"so……"
An idea flashed in Orange's mind, "That grandma helped you cover that time, right?"
The words of the children at the school gate and the enthusiastic old lady convinced Orange of his own judgment.
But I didn't expect...
The old lady was also an "accomplice".
…
"Cover?"
The child was a little confused.
What's the meaning?
…
Orange smiled and said, "It's just to help the baby hide it from the mother, not telling the mother that the baby actually left the school gate, so that the mother thinks the baby has been waiting for the mother at the school gate."
…
Oh~
The child was stunned.
She nodded.
The old lady was covering for her.
…
Orange is a bit funny.
The old man really helped the child lie to her.
Does she seem like a harsh critic of children?
Orange couldn't help but touch his face.
The strange and kind-hearted old lady even consciously helped the child to cover up for her...
Orange frowned slightly.
She feels that she is still a very approachable person...
…
The child felt slightly uneasy.
"Mother."
The child's voice is weak.
"Are you angry?"
"Don't be angry with grandma."
"Grandma is doing it for me..."
The child knew that the old woman was panicking to her mother because of her.
She was very grateful to the old lady.
I don't want my mother to be angry with that old lady.
…
"I'm not angry."
Orange was slightly startled.
This is the second time she has said this in a short period of time.
She touched her face again.
"Does mom look angry?"
…
The child said nothing.
It's just that his eyes are a little timid.
…
Orange curled up the corners of her mouth.
She looked at the child and said seriously: "Mom is not angry."
"Mom is very grateful to that grandma."
"Thank you for helping you."
I originally thought that the old woman just saw the child crying alone and walked over...
This made her feel very grateful.
Now that he knows that the old lady helped the lost child, Orange is even more grateful to her.
"Especially knowing that the old lady helped you when you were lost..."
Orange touched the child's head tenderly.
"Mom is even more grateful to that old lady."
…
That's it...
The child pursed his lips.
I felt relieved.
A slight smile appeared on his face.
Mom was not angry, nor was she angry with the old lady.
The child feels very happy.
…
The most concerning issue is solved -
After all, the safety of your children is the most important issue.
Orange thought of the child's request.
"You are the maple leaf I saw at that time..."
Orange murmured.
No wonder she didn't know.
Because the child hid it from her.
…
Once I saw it, I remembered it for so long...
It looks like a really beautiful maple leaf.
Orange is a little curious.
What kind of maple leaf is it?
Did the child remember it for so long?
Only then did the child make a request to her now...
The child wants to see the maple leaves again.
…
But……
Since children like it so much...
Why didn't you tell them before?
It's been a long time since that happened.
There was also a season of red maples.
If only the children had told them...
Maybe they have already taken their children to see the maple leaves.
There would be no more headaches for her now.
…
The child pursed his lips.
because……
What a pity...
In the next two years, her health was not very good.
The physical discomfort made her forget her desire to see maple leaves.
…
Orange was stunned.
The child's words made her feel very uncomfortable.
This child, at such a young age, has really endured too much...
Orange's eyes were a little moist.
…
Then, Orange began to think about the child's words.
The first two years...
The child's body...is good and bad.
Some months are good.
It got worse for a few months.
Their emotions also rise and fall.
She suddenly discovered...
The autumns of the previous two years...
The child's health is indeed not good.
Orange opened her eyes slightly.
This is too coincidental.
God……
Are you...
Orange even felt a bit resentful in her heart.
Is it too cruel to this child?
…
This child only has this little wish...
Can't you even satisfy her?
Orange squeezed her hand slightly.
…
The mother's silence made the child a little uneasy again.
The child suddenly smiled.
"Mother."
The child spoke softly.
"Actually, I forgot about it for a while..."
Children's memory is always limited.
Although her life is much simpler than other children...
