Chu Zhichen got up from his chair: "Mom, we don't like to eat cake. ”

Cake is expensive......

Hearing this, Chu Yao reached out and touched Xiao Chen's head, and said in sign language, "This cake was given by the aunt of the cake shop." ’

"Really?" Xiao Chen asked unconvincedly.

'Hmm' she nodded, opened the cake box, and the beautiful cake appeared in front of her, she was slightly stunned, this cake seemed to be more delicate and beautiful than the cake in the glass window, and it did not look like it had been spent overnight.

"Mom, this cake is so beautiful." Xiao Han said sweetly, small mouth, click, click.

Chu Zhichen looked at her with disgust: "Look at you like that, gluttonous cat." ”

"I'm not." Chu Qihan retorted.

Chu Yao retracted her thoughts, looked at the two of them and smiled, lit five candles on them, and signaled the child to make a wish.

"I wish my mom would always be so young and beautiful." Chu Qihan clasped his hands together and said with his eyes closed.

"In the future, I will definitely earn a lot of money when I grow up, so that my mother can live a good life."

Chu Yao's nose was a little sour when she heard this, and she reached out to touch Chu Zhichen's head,

The child's sensibility made her very sad, she didn't ask for anything else, just that their family could be safe.

After blowing out the candles, Chu Yao cut the cake into small pieces and put it on a plate in front of them.

Chu Qihan couldn't wait to take a bite, then looked at Chu Yao and said, "It's delicious, mom, you can eat it too." ”

'You can eat,' Chu Yao smiled lightly and shook his head.

"Mom, you can take a bite too." Chu Zhichen took a small fork and brought the cake to her mouth: "If Mom doesn't eat it, Xiao Chen won't eat it." ”

When Chu Yao heard this, she opened her mouth to eat some cake on the fork, and the sweet cream fragrance overflowed in her mouth, sweet to the bottom of her heart.

It was already nine o'clock after eating the cake, and tomorrow Monday the children will go to kindergarten, and after washing the children, they will take them to the room to sleep, until the children fall asleep, she turns off the lights and goes out of the room.

In the corner of the small living room there was an old sewing machine, and in the box next to it were scattered cotton gloves, and when she tied her hair up, she sat down and picked up a bundle of glove-shaped cloth and placed it next to the sewing machine, and opened it page by page and stepped on the sewing machine.

The sound of the quiet sewing machine in the night lasted until late at night, Chu Yao yawned, looked up at the time, it was already one o'clock, got up from the chair and stretched, washed up, and lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The weather in April was slightly cool, at seven o'clock in the morning, Chu Zhichen had woken up, got out of bed with his clothes and shoes, came to his sister's bed and called her up, helped her dress, washed her face, and didn't see her mother come back after cleaning up, the two were a little anxious.

"Brother, why hasn't Mom come back?" Chu Qihan sat at the table and rubbed his eyes.

"I'll go out and have a look." Chu Zhichen walked to the door.

'Smack'

Before Chu Zhichen could reach out to open the door, the door opened from the outside, and Chu Yao came in panting with breakfast.

"Mom, why is it so late today?" Chu Zhichen asked, tugging at her clothes and feet.

'Today's milk delivery cart broke down,' she said with a sign as she put breakfast on the table.

"No wonder."

Chu Yao put breakfast on the plate, "Eat it, the school bus will come in a while." ’

"Did Mom eat it?" Chu Qihan asked.

Chu Yao nodded.

A few eggs for breakfast, two bowls of rice porridge, and a few fritters, after the two children finished eating, the school bus had arrived at the door, and the children were sent to the bus, Chu Yao looked back at the dilapidated tricycle.

The wheels of the car were so old that several of them broke at once, and it seemed that the whole wheel would have to be replaced, otherwise she would not have been able to finish the newspaper and milk tomorrow, even if she got up two hours early.
