Chapter 308: Chapter 301: Surprise
He had never seen anyone wear a white shirt with such sophistication, nor had he ever seen someone turn a common white shirt into a scenery.
At that moment, the man was squatting on the ground, talking to a little girl. The little girl was just crying, but he was gently stroking her hair.
Even in that momentary laugh, there was exhaustion that was like the morning sun.
Tang Yuxin suddenly felt a stab of pain in her heart. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt the urge to cry.
As the man bent down to pick up the child and was about to leave, he happened to meet Tang Yuxin’s eyes. Those clear eyes and that clean shirt, along with that smile with a tinge of coldness showed through.
In that moment, Tang Yuxin felt her heart flutter. She didn’t know why, but it seemed as if she had experienced something similar when he was picking up the child.
She remember she had once wished for someone to take her home, to any place, as long as it wasn’t her original home.
She placed her hand on her knee, the ice cream in her hand was slowly melting away.
It seemed like someone had once whispered in her ear.
The faint voice, the helpless sigh, the sour feeling of powerlessness.
Hoping that you can be treated gently in your next life.
Just that too much time had passed, and she had forgotten.
The man carried the child and left in the crowd. A refreshing breeze blew by, carrying a bit of moisture. It was the smell of the water from Blue River, but it wasn’t as clean as before.
Actually, the human touch is still quite strong today.
In reality, things are still okay.
In fact, currently, the distance between people isn’t that far.
The ice cream in her hand had melted, drop by drop, it dripped onto the ground. After a while, it left some faint water marks.
“Sister, sister….”
Little Chengcheng is pulling Tang Yuxin’s sleeve, his babyish voice as always, able to melt people’s hearts.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Yuxin turned around, then touched her little brother’s head.
Chengcheng raised his chubby arm for his sister to look. His tender, white skin had been bitten by a mosquito, leaving a red and itchy bump. Children have delicate skin, so the bite seemed quite miserable.
“It’s okay, sister will put some medicine on it for you.”
Tang Yuxin picked up her brother and had him sit on a small stool. Then she took out a medicine box, squatted down, scooped out a bit of medicine from the box and applied it to the little guy’s tender arm.
As soon as it was applied, there was a cooling sensation, which made the little guy feel comfortable. He knew that whenever he felt uncomfortable or pain, he should seek his sister. His sister was the most powerful one.
“Is it better?” Tang Yuxin rubbed her brother’s little face, “Is there any other place that’s itchy? Tell sister.”
Chengcheng shook his head, “No more, no more itchy.”
“Alright,” Tang Yuxin grabbed her brother’s little hand, “You go play with Sister Sisi, sister has things to do. Later, sister will take you to eat something delicious, okay?”
“Ok,” As soon as food was mentioned, Little Fatty’s eyes lit up, revealing him to be a little foodie.
Tang Yuxin went into her pharmacy, continued studying the Chen Family’s ancient prescriptions, committed these old prescriptions to heart. She was trying to make usable products. Although they were only little medicinal products, they were incredibly practical. For example, treating pimples, relieving itchiness caused by mosquito bites. The one she used on Chengcheng just now was one of her research achievements.
In fact, the domestic medicine industry is already very advanced. Many medicines are made based on ancient prescriptions. Some of the medicines from the Chen Family’s ancient prescriptions are actually a bit outdated because they have long been replaced by better drugs. She hopes to utilize these methods to manufacture her own medicines that are easier on the body and have better effects.
While outside, Chengcheng was playing with Sisi. Sisi was playing hopscotch with ChengCheng, the siblings seemed to be having a great time. Chengcheng was a child who didn’t need anyone to take care of him; give him a stool and he could entertain himself. No stool? He would sit on the ground and happily watch television with his little radish-like chubby legs.
Tang Yuxin went into the kitchen, picked up a piece of watermelon and chopped it into small pieces. She removed the seeds from the inside and then carried over a plate of neatly chopped watermelon.
“Sister, want to eat melon,” Little Fatty reached out his chubby hand for the watermelon.
“Sisi, get it yourself,” Tang Yuxin pointed to the kitchen and told her sister.
“Okay,” Sisi also wanted to eat watermelon, so she took some for herself.
Tang Yuxin crouched down, using a spoon to feed her brother watermelon.
Little Fatty took a bite of watermelon. The burp he let out smelled of watermelon. His big, round eyes sparkled. It seemed he was extremely delighted with his food, his small fists clenching with joy.
After all, not too long ago, he could only drink milk. Now that he was growing up, he could finally eat delicious watermelon and meat! Otherwise, how could he have grown to be so plump? He was nurtured by Zhang Xiangcao.
Meanwhile, Tang Yuxin calculated her time. She had one more week before the start of school. Once school started, she wouldn’t be able to accompany her little brother. By the time she came back, it would be New Year’s and Little ChengCheng would already be two years old.
How quickly time flies, the next time she packed up to leave, school would have once again started.
“Yuxin, dad has something to show you.”
Tang Zhinian had his hand hidden behind his back as if he had a surprise.
But Tang Yuxin looked at Tang Zhinian’s back curiously. She wanted to know what he was hiding behind. However, she really wasn’t that curious about tearing away the mystery. Rather, she didn’t enjoy guessing games. She knew she would know what it was soon, so why guess?
“Look!”
Tang Zhinian brought out his hand, in it was a bunch of keys.
“This is for you.”
He placed the keys in the palm of his daughter’s hand.
“Dad, what are these?” Tang Yuxin picked up the keys. “Such a big set, what are these keys for?”
“Guess?” Tang Zhinian said to his daughter with a mysterious smile.
Tang Yuxin put the keys on the table, clearly not curious at all. Of course, this caused Tang Zhinian, who was trying to create suspense, to feel a touch of defeat.
How hard it is to trick his daughter.
