Chapter 447 Remarried Widow 40
"really?"
"Of course it's true. Mom will work very hard to make money to support you."
"Mom, I will help you with the work too."
"And me, mother, I will also help with washing dishes and sweeping the floor."
"Mom, our lives are getting better and better. We can eat meat every day. It would be even better if Dad were still alive." Erqiang, who had been silent, suddenly said.
Thinking of their father who had passed away less than a year ago, Daqiang, Yaya and the other three fell silent.
San Qiang sniffed and sobbed, "Mom, I miss Dad."
"Mom, I miss Dad too."
"Mom, will Dad never come back? Will we never see him again?" Yaya also cried.
"Wow, I miss my dad. I want my dad to come back. I don't want my dad to die." Sanqiang cried.
At the age of three, Sanqiang didn't know what death meant at first, and didn't think there was anything sad about his father's death. But later, when he and his sister were often laughed at by the children in the village for not having a father, the young Sanqiang gradually understood that when his father died, he left and went to a very far place, and he would never see him again.
Now that my father is dead, I no longer have a father.
When Sanqiang thought about the fact that his father was gone and he would never see him again, the delicious food on the table no longer tasted good.
He just wants his daddy now.
When Yaya and Sanqiang started crying, Daqiang and Erqiang couldn't help crying too.
The four children cried so heartbreakingly that Yuanchun couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
Although she can work hard to make money, provide a good living environment for her children, and try to be a good mother, there are some things she still can't do. She cannot replace the father in the children's hearts.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. In a few days, I'll take you back to the village to burn incense for your father and burn more paper money for him." Yuanchun touched Sanqiang and Erqiang, who were crying the most. "Mom, it's New Year's Day today, can't we cry?" Daqiang suddenly stopped crying, "Mom, I'm sorry, we...we really couldn't help crying."
Being older, Daqiang understands more than his younger brothers and sisters. He still knows that during the Chinese New Year, one can only laugh and not cry.
Crying will bring bad luck.
When he opened a shop, he hated it most for something unlucky to happen.
So, they can't cry, otherwise they will have bad luck in the coming year.
After thinking about this, Daqiang hurried to comfort his three younger brothers and sisters. After a while, laughter and joy could be heard in the main room again.
The children had very short memories and soon forgot about their father. They only wanted to eat the delicious food.
After the meal, Yuanchun handed the children several large red envelopes that she had prepared long ago, "This is the New Year's money that mother gives you. You can use it to buy things you like, and you don't have to give it to mother."
She didn't put much money in the red envelope, only one dollar in each.
But one dollar is a huge sum of money for children.
In this day and age, you can buy twenty fruit candies for ten cents, and a dollar can buy a lot of food.
The next day, after breakfast, the four children took their New Year's money and went to a newly opened grocery store nearby to buy things.
Yuanchun also took a rare three-day break for herself.
During these days, Yuanchun didn't go anywhere. She just ate and slept at home, and had a good rest for a while.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Yuanchun brought her four children back to the village and went to Chen Dagang's grave on the mountain behind the village and burned a burlap bag of paper money for Chen Dagang.
The four children knelt on the ground, trying not to cry, but only sobbing a few times.
