"The baby will hold a red maple leaf in his hand until the end."
…..
ah?
Mother Xiao was a little surprised, "She has been holding it in her hand?"
…..
"Um."
Orange nodded.
"The baby is always in my hand."
"It's very tight."
At that time, she tried to pull out the maple leaf from the child's hand...
No success.
Unless you tear the maple leaf, the child's hand is too tight and there is no way to pull the maple leaf out of the child's hand intact.
This shows that the children care about maple leaves.
…
Mother Xiao shook her head slightly.
With a slight smile on his face, "This child..."
"I really like maple leaves."
…
"yes."
Orange nodded.
"So, thank you very much for making your child's wish come true."
Orange bowed slightly to Xiao's mother and Xiao Xiao.
Otherwise, her child will leave this world with regrets.
This will stick in her throat for the rest of her life and she won't be able to let it go.
…
"Thank you."
The child's father also bowed slightly.
It is precisely because he has realized his most desired wish that the child can sleep so peacefully, with a faint smile on his lips.
The child left this world that she had only briefly visited and was not friendly to her with the satisfaction of having her wish fulfilled.
…
"elder sister."
There was a somewhat dazed look on Orange's face.
She smiled at Xiao's mother.
"You know what?"
The child's last appearance appeared in Orange's mind.
"The baby left in his sleep."
"Holding a maple leaf in my hand."
"With a smile on his face."
"It was like falling asleep on a normal day."
"Who knows..."
…
Orange shook his head vigorously.
She said it wrong again.
That's clearly not what she wanted to say.
…..
"I mean..."
Orange raised the corner of his mouth.
"The baby left with a smile on his face."
"Because of the maple leaves you gave him."
"Because you fulfilled her wish."
"Thank you."
The more Orange thinks about it, the more grateful she is to Xiao's mother and Xiao Xiao.
Her children...
Finally got lucky for once.
Such an embarrassing wish...
There was actually someone who could help her achieve it.
…
She has never thought of using this wish to encourage her children to persist until autumn...
When the time comes, she will take her children to see the red maples all over the mountains and plains.
…
She still wasn't willing to let her child wait for so long.
fortunately.
The thought just passed through her mind.
If she insists, her child will bid farewell to this world with regret.
And she...
You will also be unable to reconcile with yourself.
…
Now that the time has come...
The result is inevitable...
She just wants to fulfill all her children's wishes and make them happy,
…
Baby.
This life is too short,
In the next life, I wish you a long life, happiness and good health.
…
"Did the baby leave with a smile?"
Xiao's mother felt that her mood had improved.
"Very good."
The baby worked hard for so long and finally left without any pain, which is also good.
…
"yes."
Orange looked sad and sighed, "That's great..."
The baby left with a smile...
that is……
"... He didn't say goodbye to us in the end..."
Orange murmured softly.
…
"No?"
Mother Xiao was a little surprised.
…
Orange shook his head.
"The child's father is at work."
"I went out to pour hot water."
"return……"
Orange pursed her lips.
…
"tangerine……"
Mother Xiao didn't know how to comfort her mother who had just lost her child and seemed to have missed saying goodbye to her child for the last time...
…
Orange shook his head.
"I'm fine."
Seeing that Mrs. Xiao was still frowning slightly, she twitched her lips and said, "...the doctor said..."
"The baby left in his sleep."
"Didn't wake up."
"Even if we are..."
The result is the same.
…
Is this so...
Mother Xiao nodded slightly.
Even if I know this, I still have expectations in my heart...
She understands.
…
"The baby didn't leave nothing behind."
The child's father took out a maple leaf from his pants pocket.
The baby left them a gift.
It is also the first gift given to them by babies.
He remembered clearly the child's shyness when giving the gift.
besides……
The joy of knowing they loved the gift.
…
After being stunned for a short time, Orange suddenly realized.
right.
Although the baby didn't leave any words for them.
but……
Orange also took out a maple leaf from his pocket,
Ever since she received this gift from her child, she and her father have been carrying this gift with them.
Never left.
…
"look."
Orange showed the maple leaf to Xiao’s mother.
"The baby's gift to us."
"Baby, I still have the father..."
The corners of Orange's mouth curled up slightly, "Everyone is a maple leaf."
…
Mother Xiao's eyes lit up.
She carefully looked at the maple leaf in Tangerine's hand.
"it's beautiful."
Mother Xiao praised.
She really wasn't lying.
But the maple leaves in their hands are so beautiful.
Xiao's mother thought of the plum blossoms in her yard.
Not only were they unbeatable throughout the seasons, but their appearance was much more delicate than any plum blossom she had ever seen before.
The scent is much better too.
Since there were plum blossoms in the yard, she never went out specifically to see them.
The plum blossoms anywhere are not as good as those in your own yard.
And even if there is only one plum blossom, the fragrance fills the entire yard.
It’s comparable to someone else’s entire plum garden.
…..
The maple leaves in Orange's and others' hands were also more delicate and beautiful than any maple leaves she had ever seen.
She just guessed...
Orange and the others said that the maple leaf was given to them by the baby.
And the maple leaf in the baby's hand was probably given by Xiaoxiao.
…
"Really?"
Orange's fingers carefully and gently rubbed the plastic surface of the maple leaf.
yes.
Who says children have nothing left for them?
In addition to the memories shared by the children and them...
Whether it is bitter or sweet, it is their precious wealth.
The child also gave them a gift.
The first and last time a child gives them a gift.
…
Did the child also realize something...
Orange was a little dazed again.
That's why I asked them so persistently that day if they liked this gift?
Even if I can't open my eyes...
…..
I like it.
As long as it is given by children, they like everything.
What's more, it's such a special and exquisite gift.
