“……”

That night, Xia Wantao was woken up in a sweet sleep.

"Late peach, late peach, wake up."

"What's wrong......

Xia Wantao rubbed her sleepy eyes, she looked at it and saw that the guy talking to her in front of her was not a person.

"Are you...... Blackie? ”

Xia Wantao looked quite shocked, "Xiao Hei actually spoke!" I thought it was Brother Xu Wen who had become a cat! ”

"Uh...... You are mistaken. Xiao Hei paused, and then said, "Actually, I'm a magical cat who can help people realize their dreams!" ”

"Y-You're a magical cat?"

Xia Wantao was surprised, "Magic cats and cats have wings, why don't you have them, Xiao Hei." ”

"Ah, this...... My wings can't be released for the time being because of the loss of mana. ”

"Also, cats generally speak with meow endings, why don't you bring meow?"

"I'm a male cat, so I won't sell cute meows!"

"By the way, you're a real magic cat!" Summer evening peach ecstasy.

Xiao Hei continued, "Let's not talk about this for a while, I specially showed the prototype to Wan Tao today, because Wan Tao has always been a good child, and I want to help Wan Tao realize your dream today." ”

"That! I'm going to be a magical girl! ”

"You're too young!"

"Isn't it true that any wish can be granted?"

"Uh...... Because there are no evil bad guys to fight, this business is not open to the public for the time being. ”

"That's ......"

Evening Peach looked quite lost. Xiao Hei hurriedly persuaded:

"In addition to wanting to become a magical girl, you should have other dreams that you want to achieve? Think about it...... Is there any other wish to meow? ”

"If you wish for anything else......

Xia Wantao thought for a while, "I want a lot of money." ”

"Meow meow?"

Xiao Hei paused and said, "You are a child, you can't make such a wish to worship money, it's too utilitarian, and you will become a bad boy." ”

"I just want to make it easier for Sister Qing, she takes care of me every day, it's very hard." Xia Wantao looked aggrieved, "Isn't this okay?" ”

"It's not impossible...... But Sister Qing may not be happy, after all, this is a suspicious fund that I don't know where to go. ”

"That's a meow ...... too"

"Think again...... What troubles do you have lately, that you want to solve, or do you have someone you want to see but can't see? For example......

Xu Wen, who pretended to be a magical cat, tried her best to remind Xia Wantao, and when he told her almost directly, Xia Wantao seemed to finally realize the little wish she had been hiding in her heart.

"I ...... I want to see my mom, can I ...... Is it realized? ”

The magic cat Xu Wen shook her black tail, posing as if she was contemplative, and then accosted, "Although it is not that simple, I will help you realize your wishes." ”

"But, is that okay?"

The joy in Xia Wantao's expression was about to overflow, "Then, I'm going to tell Sister Qing and Sister Wuyu to let them also-"

"Da Baa Meow!"

The magic cat Xu Wen grabbed Wan Tao's arm, "This is your dream meow, I can't call someone in reality to watch meow with you." ”

"Original...... Is it a dream? Xia Wantao looked at the bed, and sure enough, there was no figure of Sister Wuyu, but she still didn't give up, "I don't believe it, I want to try it." ”

"Then you can try meow—"

Xia Wantao said and pinched the arm of the magic cat Xu Wen hard, "Does it hurt, Xiao Hei?" ”

"One, it doesn't hurt at all!"

The magic cat Xu Wen carried everything like a real man.

"It looks like it's really a dream."

Xia Wantao looked a little lost, but she quickly cheered up, "Mom...... Where is it? ”

"Just come with me, meow, I'll take you to meet your mother's meow."

"Hmm...... Good. ”

Xia Wantao got out of bed with the magic cat Xu Wen, and crawled to the attic on the third floor with Xu Wen.

"My mother, has she always lived in the attic?"

"What the hell is that? If you want to see your mother, you have to go through this door to the past. ”

"The Gate of the Persimmon?"

"To put it simply, this is an alternate dimension, where you can meet anyone who has passed away......" Xu Wenmao paused, and then asked, "Then, are you afraid?" ”

What if I could see my mother......

Xia Wantao patted her cheeks, held her head high and puffed out her face, looking very arrogant, "I—I want to go and see!" ”

"Okay, then rush! We rushed in and meowed. ”

"Rush Rush!"

Xia Wantao hugged the magical cat Xu Wen in her arms, and then walked into the other dimensional space, which was also Xu Wen's cave.

"Whew-"

In the summer evening, the peach rushed into the cave, but was so bright that the sun illuminated and couldn't open his eyes. When she struggled to come over, she found that the world here was not as terrifying as she imagined, but had a special beauty in the world of fairy tales and picture books.

"Wow...... This place is so beautiful! ”

Xia Wantao sighed, "Mom, do you live in this world?" ”

"That's right."

"Great."

Summer evening peach grinning.

"What's so good, meow."

"Living in such a beautiful place, my mother must be very happy."

"Luckily, we usually send her a lot of money."

Xu Wen remembered the incident of the Midyear Festival almost half a year ago, and the money that Wan Tao said should be that time.

"I'll take you to see Mommy Meow."

"Good!"

The magic cat Xu Wen led Xia Wantao along the river to the villa wooden house, Xu Wen Mao Mao walked in front, Xia Wantao followed behind, although she woke up not long ago, but she seemed to be in good spirits, always looking east and west, and shouting loudly with Xu Wen Maomao.

"Mom, do you live in that house?"

"Yes, meow."

"Well, she...... Did she know I was coming? ”

"......" Xu Wen was suddenly stunned, "Suddenly asked what is this meow for." ”

Xia Wantao's voice seemed very lost and depressed.

"Will we disturb her if we visit her suddenly?"

"And ...... I'm so old that she won't recognize me......"

"No, meow."

Xu Wen shook the cat's head, "How can a mother not like her daughter to come to see her." She'll definitely recognize your meow. ”

"Hmm...... Thank you. ”

With Xu Wenmao's encouragement, Wan Tao cheered up again.

Xia Wantao followed Xu Wenmao to the door, and when Wantao was about to knock on the door, she found that Xu Wenmao beside her was gone.

What to do......

It was the first time that Xia Wantao encountered this kind of situation where there were no adults around, and she would seem a little helpless for a while.

Yes, it's Mom's words......

I'll check it out first!

Xia Wantao did not enter directly through the main entrance, but walked around the house, found a pile of firewood near the window to climb up, and secretly looked at the scene in the house through the window.

Mom......

Where?

Like, it's not there.

When Xia Wantao was looking around, she was suddenly picked up from behind.

"Look, who I've caught!"

A gentle and delicate voice came from behind Xia Wantao, who was picked up from the firewood by the other party, raised her head, and stared at her blankly.

This one...... Is it Mom?

has not experienced the grief of losing her mother, and Xia Wantao, who has been living a happy life under the care of her sister Xia Qing, will naturally not cry bitterly when she reunites.

She just stared blankly at the familiar and strange woman in front of her, her mouth wide open, but she couldn't say anything.

"How...... Xia Wantao child, it's only been a few years, don't you recognize me at all now? ”

Mother Xia gently rubbed Wan Tao's cheeks, and then said softly, "I didn't expect you to grow so big now." ”

After Xia Wantao was rubbed her face, she suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something, subconsciously took a few steps back, and suddenly ran to the pyre and squatted down, cocked her little buttocks, and then secretly stared at Xia's mother.

“……”

Obviously, she was a little confused by Wan Tao's strange behavior, and Xia's mother was also confused, "You, why did you treat me like this, Wan Tao." ”

"You, Sister Heqing looks alike."

Hearing this, Xia's mother looked a little helpless:

"It's not that I look alike with Sister Qing, it's because I'm her mother......"

Mother Xia smiled and said, "When you grow up, maybe you will look very similar to me." ”

"You lie, Sister Wuyu and Sister Qing are not like each other at all."

Xia Wantao was obviously a little wary of hostility towards this mother, and the mother and daughter in Xia's imagination hugged and cried did not appear.

Be...... Is the way to say hello wrong?

So Xia's mother coughed and said, "I'm really your mother, late peach child." ”

"Hmmm......"

Summer Evening Peach nodded.

Convinced?

Mother Xia was a little stunned.

"Well, I don't want to...... Hug me? ”

"Yes."

Xia Wantao nodded, "But I don't dare." ”

"Why don't you dare."

"I'm afraid I'll wake up as soon as I hug you."

Xia Wantao said, "I've done many times before, and I have dreamed of meeting my mother many times, and every time it's when I want to boo." ”

"And then as soon as I hugged you, I cried, and you cried."

"I don't want to let go of you to hush, you said you can hug for a little longer, and you can hug as long as you want."

"Finally, when I woke up, I wet the bed."

Xia Wantao's earnest words made Xia's mother feel a surge of heart, and she had no mood swings, but her eyes were suddenly blurred by crystal tears.

"You...... Is this the reason for wetting the bed all the time? ”

"Mom, do you know I'm still wetting the bed?"

Mother Xia hurriedly rubbed her eyes and shook her head, "No, it was your sister who told me." ”

"It must be Sister Wuyu, she likes to sue me so much!"

Xia Wantao pursed her lips, looking quite aggrieved, "Mom, I'm sorry...... I promise you, I'll never wet the bed again, I'm in the first grade of elementary school. If I wet the bed again, you and Sister Qing will definitely not like me. No one likes a child who loves bedwetting. ”

She looked like she was about to cry as she spoke, but she didn't have the courage to step forward and make love to Mother Xia.

So Xia's mother took the initiative to greet her and hugged Xia Wantao tightly.

"No...... Even if you become an adult and still wet the bed, you are still a good boy for your mother...... It's always been ......"

"Really, really......"

"Really, I don't lie to you."

The summer evening peach was attached to her mother's shoulder, and this warmth was something she had never experienced before.

"So, if that's the case...... Why doesn't my mother want to live with us? It's good here...... But Mom, it's alone, right? Won't you be lonely? ”

"Sure enough, it's because you don't like us......

"How could you not like it...... Mom wants to do it too...... You're my favorite daughter......"

Xia's mother choked up and sobbed as she spoke, and Xia Qing, the person in Xia's mother's middle, was obviously completely substituted into the play of this role.

Xu Wen and Wuyu watched and listened quietly by the wooden wall inside the door.

"Already...... It's all like a mother. ”

Xu Wen was sighing here, and then found that Wuyu on the side was wiping his nose with his head down.

"You...... Okay? ”

"Not good. Not at all. ”

Xia Wuyu ran out of facial tissues at hand, and then grabbed Xu Wen and wiped it wildly, Xu Wen didn't have time to dislike it, just patted Wuyu's head gently.

In the impression of my sister and sister, my mother is a very gentle and very gentle person, always taking care of them meticulously, and cooking good dishes.

But...... Most of their impressions are left behind.

Xia Qing's childhood was very happy and complete, and when her parents were there, she was the little princess of her parents.

But with the birth of Wuyu, his father gradually became early and returned late, and his mother did not complain at that time, but he took care of Xia Qing and Wuyu alone, and the sensible Xia Qing wanted to help her mother share some housework, and her cooking skills were also cultivated at that time.

After her mother gave birth to Evening Peach, the man barely lived at home, at that time, her mother's asthma worsened, and her body was not as good as day by day, Xia Qing had to help take care of her mother and Evening Peach, and she also had to take care of her studies, she couldn't remember how she survived at that time, and she almost forgot her mother's impression.

However, when she was holding the late peach tightly like this, she finally remembered something.

"Late Peach...... Do you know why mom gave you that name? ”

Xia Wantao got up from Xia's mother's body, rubbed her eyes and shook her head, "Sister Qing is a sunny day, Sister Wuyu is a foggy day and a rainy day, I will become a fruit......"

"You know what...... Late spring peaches are the sweetest fruits! ”

Mother Xia stroked Xia Wantao's cheek and said softly, "Mom knows that she can't take good care of you, but under the nourishment of your Sister Qing and Sister Yu, she can thrive and become a watery Xia Wantao, who will always smile brightly and spend every day happily." ”

"Original...... That's right. ”

Xia Wantao tried her best to put on a smile on her face, "Then, my mother's wish should have come true, my sisters are very good to me...... I'm happy, and then, and then—"

Wan Tao said and spoke, but suddenly couldn't continue, accompanied by a somewhat choked cry, followed by vague words full of milky voices, and finally became a crying embarrassment, and no longer had the strong and sensible appearance on weekdays.
