The displacement of the cabinet, the candy falling from the bottom of the bed, the lid of the sugar bowl that was suspected to be loosened...
The woman took a deep breath.
She stood up.
She held the candy found under the bed in one hand and held the candy bowl in the other.
She walked towards the door.
...
When she walked out of the room, the woman heard a loud TV sound.
She couldn't help but frown.
She walked to the coffee table and picked up the remote control.
The volume was adjusted very lightly by her.
...
"mom-"
The little girl saw the candy bowl in her mother's arms and her heart was shocked.
After a pause, her voice was turned on, "Mom?"
The little girl tried to suppress the panic in her heart.
No...
She restored everything back to its original state.
She checked it carefully.
Mom won't find it.
But……
Why did my mother hold the candy bowl?
Mom didn't even change her clothes.
The little girl felt uneasy.
...
"Nannan."
The woman stretched out a hand clenched into a fist.
Spread your palms.
Exposed a candy inside.
The glass candy paper shines with a sparkling light.
The glitter that made the little girl liked was now a little dazzling.
...
The little girl looked confused.
She really doesn't know what mom means?
Could it be...
The little girl felt relieved first, and then happy.
Is mom going to give her this candy?
Because she completed her homework before her mother came back?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the little girl grinning.
She reached out to get the candy from her mother's hand-
The next second, she was stunned.
Because my mother retracted her hand.
"……Mother?"
The little girl looked at her mother with her head tilted.
Isn't this the candy for her?
...
The woman quickly understood what the child misunderstood her.
Her eyebrows raised slightly.
"This is not a candy for you."
"Didn't you just ate candy yesterday?"
...
When the mother said this, the little girl blinked and then suddenly realized.
Yes, yes.
She ate candy yesterday.
There are still three rare ones.
Because my parents promised to take her out for fun this weekend last week.
She looked forward to it for a week.
As a result, my father had to work overtime.
My mother also wants to go to the hospital to visit her sick friends.
She could only stay at home to do the extra homework assigned by her parents.
In order to make up for her, my parents cooked her a big meal.
My mother gave her three candies.
So even though she knew she couldn't go out to play the next day, she was still very happy.
Moreover, my parents agreed to take her out for fun next time.
...
"Remember?"
The woman reached out and poked the child's forehead gently.
"You'll forget it after you've eaten it."
...
The little girl sneered.
She reached out and touched her forehead.
Somewhat aggrieved.
What do you remember to do after you finish eating?
...
"Nannan."
The woman looks at the child.
"Do you know where mom found this candy?"
...
The little girl was stunned by the question.
She subconsciously glanced at the candy bowl in her mother's arms.
Isn’t the candy…all my mother put in the candy bowl?
