“Thank you, Auntie Xia.” Lin Qing sniffed and suddenly reached out to hug Xia Ruoxin. “Auntie Xia, don’t worry. Guo’er and I will be very obedient. We’ll take good care of Rainy Mei Mei, and we’ll go to school dutifully so Auntie Xia you won’t have to worry.”
However, Xia Ruoxin was upset upon hearing this… Lin Qing’s maturity.
She wished that children would be more naive and silly because he was still a child. A child should not care about the adult world; they should just focus on growing up.
However, sometimes, growing up was just a luxury for some people.
As Xia Ruoxin was patting Lin Qing’s shoulders to comfort him, she suddenly felt that she was old. She squinted her eyes, and the warmth and light underneath shone like a crystal.
On the director’s side, she was still handling the adoption procedures. It was not that easy because Xia Ruoxin already had a daughter and was a single mother. The most troublesome thing was that Xia Ruoxin and Rainy were not locals so their procedures would be more complicated. However, it was not too difficult; it just needed more time.
Lin Qing and Guo’er had moved to Xia Ruoxin’s house. Since her current house was very big, it was spacious enough to give them a room each; as for Rainy—as she was still young, she still had to sleep with her mother.
Lin Qing and Guo’er loved their own rooms. They had never been apart since they were young, and they would not be in the future. Of course, to Rainy, there were two more people to play with her in the future so she was extremely happy.
However, having two more children in the house all of a sudden was honestly starting to get a bit difficult for Xia Ruoxin. Lin Qing was not that bad as he had already gone to school, but Guo’er needed someone to look after her because her leg was not convenient. There were some things she could not do on her own.
Hence, Xia Ruoxin brought her to work and taught her how to read and write personally. When there was a chance in the future, she would send Guo’er to school. Actually, she had pondered about if she should send Guo’er to school as the school life would suit children more after all.
However, Guo’er’s personality did not suit it, at least for now. She was more sensitive than other children and also felt more inferior about herself.
So it would stay like this for now. Perhaps when she was older and could accept the fact that she had only one leg or after she had put on a prosthetic leg and could walk on her own, then she could go to school.
Actually, she was tired every day as she had to go to work and take care of Guo’er. When she returned home, she had to take care of Rainy and cook for the children. Even though she was busy and did not even have time to rest, she could not deny that when she was busy, she did not need to think of a lot of things and could even sleep well at night without even dreaming.
The happiest would then be Rainy as she loved Lin Qing and Guo’er as it was obvious that she was much happier now than before. She would follow Lin Qing every day and call ‘Brother’ all day long while Lin Qing would also take care of his two sisters. Sometimes, when she came home late, Lin Qing would go to fetch Rainy; and when it was raining and the path was slippery, he would carry her home.
Actually, he was just slightly older than them, but he tried his best to be a good brother to both Guo’er and Rainy.
That day, Xia Ruoxin brought Guo’er and Rainy to the welfare home, but Guo’er wanted to stand under the sun. After much thinking, she let Guo’er sit in the wheelchair to have some sunlight in the welfare home. This was a closed area and also the place where Lin Qing and Guo’er grew up. There were many social workers around so she did not need to worry if the child would get into trouble.
After the incident with Song Wan, the welfare home stopped allowing children under the age of eight to be brought out on their own. Even if they liked the child and wanted to bring the child out to play, it was also not possible.
However, they were afraid that other people would be like Song Wan who had ulterior motives like the child’s organs.
“Mommy, Rainy won’t go anymore. I’ll accompany Sister Guo’er.” Rainy tip-toed and tugged her mother’s clothes.
“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin squatted down and knocked her daughter’s forehead.
“Rainy, you must take good care of Sister. You can’t let her move on her own, okay?”
“Okay.” Rainy nodded her head and patted her chest to guarantee her. “Mommy, Rainy will be very, very obedient.”
After getting her daughter’s guarantee, Xia Ruoxin stood up and prepared to go to the studio. For some reason, she turned back and looked at Guo’er who was sitting in the wheelchair, enjoying some sunlight. No one knew why she would turn back.
At that time, the sunlight came in through the gaps in the leaves and left a shadow on the floor.
Guo’er placed her hand on her face and felt the warm sunlight shining down.
“How warm.” She squinted her eyes and smiled.
On the other hand, Rainy was happily picking some wildflowers in the garden. She picked them one by one and gave them to Sister Guo’er.
After a short while, she took a whole bunch and ran over. She put it in Guo’er’s hands.
“Rainy, let’s go somewhere else, okay?”
Guo’er opened her eyes and pulled Rainy’s hand.
Rainy bit her finger. Um…
Guo’er, “Let’s go to the other side. There are many flowers there.”
Rainy bit her finger. “Mommy doesn’t allow that.”
Guo’er, “We’ll secretly go there and back. Auntie wouldn’t know.”
The discussion between the two children then ended. They secretly walked out away from the vision of the adults.
A while later…
“Sister, let’s go back, okay? Mommy will get angry if she finds out.” Rainy pushed the wheelchair with all her might. However, she was small; and so was her strength. She simply could not even move the wheelchair.
Actually, she could not even move the wheelchair when it was empty, let alone when there was a person on it.
Guo’er moved the wheelchair. She had been sitting in the wheelchair for a very long time so she was already used to it and knew how to move it. Originally, they were still in the yard; but they had moved to somewhere else where there were many flowers. However, it was not the yard; and her mother had told her to not let Guo’er leave.
Rainy touched her butt and could feel her mother’s hands hitting it. Even though her mother did not hit her often, it would still happen sometimes.
