Chapter 673: Between Mother and Son
After passing through the small alley, Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Kester finally returned home smoothly. Although it was approaching evening, the exact time was only a little more than four o'clock, and many people at work had not left work, and it was not yet time to finish eating.
So, when Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Kester returned home, Kester's mother had not yet returned. For an afternoon, Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Kester were shopping in the magic shopping street and the food market, while Kester's mother was still doing the daily work.
As usual, Kester's mother spends her morning and evening hours making all kinds of trinkets at home. Some of these finished trinkets are then sold to specialized jewelry stores, and the other part is sold by their own stalls.
Kester's tuition fees for admission to the Brave Call Academy, and the living expenses of the mother and son's daily life, all relied on Kester's mother to sell these trinkets one by one with her own hands.
Although this trinket does not have the special ability of magic props, it is exceptionally delicate and beautiful, and it is cheaper, so it is still very popular in this border city.
From Kester's mouth, I know that Kester's mother may not return for a while. Zhuang Xiaoyuan, who had already returned home, unceremoniously took out some of the ingredients from the space backpack and walked into the kitchen.
At noon, I ate the motherly food made by Kester's mother, which may be just an ordinary light meal for others, but it is a very rare experience for Zhuang Xiaoyuan, because she has never felt maternal love.
But it doesn't matter if there is no maternal love, because Zhuang Xiaoyuan also has his own adoptive father and sister. There are many, many friends with different personalities. This kind of family affection and friendship also fills Zhuang Xiaoyuan's regrets for his mother.
Because he enjoyed the lunch meal very much, Zhuang Xiaoyuan also thought of giving a small feedback. Although countless ingredients are prepared, after all, this can only be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.
Therefore, Zhuang Xiaoyuan plans to cook a good dinner and let Kester and his mother try their craft. Of course, it also gave Kester a glimpse of his own cooking, dispelling his worries that he would starve to death on the road in the future.
"I'm back." Half an hour after Zhuang Xiaoyuan entered the kitchen, Kester's mother, who had closed the stall early today, finally returned home. By this time, the enticing scent of Kester's home was already wafting through the room, and the smell of different flavors of food filled the room.
"Mom, you're back." Hearing the slightly tired voice at the door, Kester, who was intoxicated by the rich aroma of the food made by Zhuang Xiaoyuan, came back to his senses and greeted his mother who came in from the door.
"Huh? How fragrant? Kester, did you spend money on food and come back? Standing at the entrance of the door, taking off the shoes that went out and changing into slippers indoors, Kester's mother, who was originally tired, couldn't help but feel refreshed because of the fragrance wafting in the air, and looked at Kester who greeted her strangely and asked.
"Huh? Kester, are you like this? A son has become a daughter? However, when Kester's mother looked up at Kester while asking, she couldn't help but be stunned, because the Kester who appeared in front of her at this time was completely different from the usual Kester.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Kester, who saw his mother coming back and greeted him, was about to open his mouth to explain Zhuang Xiaoyuan's cooking when he heard his mother's question.
Unexpectedly, the mother actually said such a thing after seeing her current appearance, treating herself as a daughter or something, which made Kester's face can't help but show a look of shame.
"It's really worthy of being my daughter, she looks cute." Seeing the embarrassment on Kester's face, Kester's mother smiled instead, and took Kester into her arms, rubbing her face against her.
"Mom, don't you think I'm dressed weirdly?" Unexpectedly, for her own state, her mother did not reject it at all, but was still very happy, which made Kester breathe a sigh of relief and feel a little weak.
Struggling to crawl out of his mother's arms, Kester rubbed the placket of his clothes with both hands at a loss, completely looking like a little daughter was shy, with a hint of embarrassment and embarrassment on his face, and asked.
"Actually, I've always wanted a daughter, and I want you to be my daughter. If it were my daughter, I wouldn't have to worry about it so much. If you are a daughter, you don't need to carry too many family responsibilities and take risks to participate in battles. It's a pity you're a boy.
I've been hesitant. I want you to grow up in peace, and I don't want you to do anything dangerous. But as a boy, there are some things that you have to do, and that's also the responsibility of a boy. ”
Seeing that Kester was a little embarrassed in front of her, her mother smiled and touched Kester's head, and with a hint of comfort, she told Kester her truest thoughts for the first time.
Mothers are like this, they always hope that their children can become dragons and phoenixes, and it is every mother's wish to hope that their children will become dragons. But while hoping for her son to become a Chan, the mother is very worried about her child.
That is, I hope that my child can become a dragon and a phoenix, but I am also worried that my child will encounter danger. That is, I hope that the child can achieve something, and I hope that the child is not too busy and can go home often.
The mother's mind is very complicated, the mother's mind is also very simple, and the mother's mind is also very contradictory. However, no matter how complex and contradictory this mind is. After all, mothers want their children to be well.
Even if the child is busy with his career every day, he can't see each other all year round. Even if the child dies on the battlefield for the sake of national righteousness, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person. Even if the child ends up with nothing to do and returns home. For a mother, children are worthy of her pride, and children are her most precious treasures.
"Mom." Hearing his mother's voice for the first time, Kester was also a little moved.
Although the clothes on his body were forced to be worn by Zhuang Xiaoyuan, at this moment, because of his mother's sincerity, Kester's rejection of this set of clothes disappeared at once. Instead, there was a hint of joy, and it was great to be able to wear women's clothes.
"Auntie is back? Come and sit down to eat and try my handiwork. I'm going to show off my skills today. Just when Kester and his mother hugged each other, there was a strong mother-son relationship between them.
Zhuang Xiaoyuan, who was holding the last soup in his hand, walked out of the kitchen. While putting the hot soup plate in his hand in the center of the table, he smiled at the mother and son who were hugging each other, and beckoned the two to come over to eat together.
Today's dinner is a super luxurious dish of five dishes and one soup, for the Kester family, it is a more sumptuous meal than in previous years, and the taste is absolutely delicious, just smelling the fragrance wafting in the room can tell how delicious these dishes are.
