Chapter 826 - The Call From Yeye
Chapter 826: The Call From Yeye
A week later, on the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, He Xiyan had packed all the things that she would bring back to Ming City early, which were all given by the neighbors of the village, such as sweet potato chips, stewed meat, roast goose, etc., basically food.
She asked Jiahang to carry two big bags and she herself one bag, while Yuanyuan was walking in front with his small school bag on his back.
After walking more than 500 meters, they came under a canopy, where they parked their car, a Mercedes-Benz, the only car in the countryside.
Chen Jiahang drove while He Xiyan sat in the back seat with the child. Since the car was not equipped with children’s safety seat and it was a long way to go, about six to seven hours’ drive, she then had to look after Yuanyuan in case that he might roll under the seat.
Yuanyuan held his small schoolbag in his arms. His round eyes were like black grapes, fixed on the distant farmland, on the cattle and sheep which were grazing there.
Since he had seldom been to the countryside before, Yuanyuan was quite curious about everything here in the countryside, including every plant and person. Yesterday, he went to catch a chick at an uncle’s house, saying that he would take it back to Ye City to raise it. But it was at last sent back by He Xiyan.
He Xiyan had planned to return to Ming City on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, but she always remembered that she had to take her child for a paternity test. She had to make it clear whether the child was born by her or not.
She liked this child very much. If he were not her biological child, she would be very disappointed.
The car pulled out and turned onto a highway and at this time, the cell phone in Yuanyuan’s schoolbag rang.
Yuanyuan pulled out the mobile phone from the schoolbag, a small yellow mobile phone, only four inches. Yuanyuan looked at the name shown, suggesting that it was called by aunt Li at home.
“Hello… Aunt Li.” Pressing the answering and hands-free button, Yuanyuan sweetly called at the phone.
However, what came back through the phone was a child’s childish voice.
“Yuanyuan…”
The one speaking was Mo Ye, who was holding the nanny, Aunt Li’s mobile phone and made a call to Yuanyuan.
“Gee… Yeye, how can it be you?” Yuanyuan giggled, revealing two rows of small neat teeth.
“Yuanyuan, when will you come back?” asked Mo Ye.
Yuanyuan touched his hair and thought for a while, “I’ll be back the day school starts.”
Yuanyuan said while laughing. After saying that, he looked at his mom, who had promised to send him back to Ye City on the school returning day.
“Yuanyuan, your little goldfish died, five of them.”
At the other end, Yeye was standing in front of a fish tank, where he clearly saw the dead little goldfish in it.
Yuanyuan was stunned, his small shoulder suddenly trembling as if struck by something.
He bit his little mouth without replying for quite a while.
Hearing no sound, Yeye thought that Yuanyuan had hung up, so he returned the phone to aunt Li.
“Yuanyuan, aunt will buy you some little goldfish tomorrow.”
It was Li Li, the babysitter responsible for taking care of the children in the family, who was speaking. She had been working in Mo family for more than two years.
Yuanyuan pursed his little mouth sadly. His little goldfish, which he had been raising for half a year, suddenly died like this. He was very upset.
It was he himself to blame for not having told the aunt to change the water for the little goldfish.
“Thank you, aunt Li.”
Although sad, Yuanyuan still said thanks to the aunt on the phone. After that, he hung up the phone.
