Bang!

A beautiful throwing ball swept over his head and flew straight towards the living room window.

"Oh no!" Pearl didn't dare to look at the scene of the broken glass, and covered his eyes with his hands.

Too bad, I hope I won't be confined to my mother for this.

Bang.

Sure enough, the glass was penetrated by a baseball...

"Charlie~" Mary's questioning came with a long tone.

"..." Li Zitao looked at his daughter who folded her hands and asked for help.

"Sorry, my dear... I did it accidentally, I will clean it now!" Li Zitao walked towards the room with a wry smile.

Pearl jumped on the spot, flew kisses, and expressed his gratitude to him.

Although Li Zitao had a headache, he still fought against this for her.

Who made her her precious daughter?

But I have to bear the silences of my wife on her behalf.

Pushing open the door, he heard Mary's voice.

"You should take the children away. You are their father. You must set a good example!"

Li Zitao nodded and said, "Yes, you are right, it's mine!"

The maid walked in with a broom and dustpan.

Of course, tape is indispensable. After cleaning, use tape to stick all the floor to ensure that no one is injured by debris.

Because there are geothermal pipes underground in the house, let alone children, Mary and Li Zitao have developed the habit of running barefoot at home.

So if there is a glass debris, I might give it to anyone.

Although I have been in Lu Village since I was a child, I grew up according to rural customs.

Mary is still very concerned about these small details.

He didn't want to go to the hospital before New Year's Eve to spend a disinfectant night.

"Kai, just leave it to me." Ask the maid to keep the things and start cleaning them himself.

This made the maid a little overwhelmed. Her job was stolen and she could only stand aside and watch.

If the employer is injured and vents his anger, will he lose his job?

Most of the old servants in the previous group have retired and returned home to take care of their grandchildren to enjoy their old age.

Nowadays, there are all newcomers, and Li Zitao's family rarely comes to live here.

"Kay, you can go and do something else. He messed up and he can solve it!"

Mary, who found the maid fidgeted, comforted her.

"Okay, then I'll go and change the room and put it on the washed things. The sun is very good today."

"Um!"

After obtaining the employer's permission, the other party breathed a sigh of relief.

It sounds like she doesn't have to worry about losing her job anymore.

"Do you know? I still prefer those old people, and it's uncomfortable to change!"

In fact? He has always been a person who is not good at changing.

Otherwise? There will be no more old guys who will be left by your side and in the company.

When I was about to retire, Li Zitao was in a depressed mood for a long time.

This is still the case where the successor is Sanil, and you can imagine how much he hates change.

"No one likes to change? Charlie." Mary closed the book and smiled, "But not everyone is like you."

"You know I don't mean that!" Li Zitao was speechless, why did he talk about this topic again?

"It's okay, you know? I don't care anymore."

Mary came to him, squatted on the floor together, and used tape to stick the floor.

"It's no longer important when you chased Berlin and appeared in front of me and told me those words."

"I just hope to accompany you to the last moment of your life? Then you will be free again!"

Li Zitao turned around and sat on the floor and asked, "Why do you think I want freedom?"

"Why not, I hope to be with you for a longer time, you don't seem to have changed much."

Mary sat opposite him, touching his cheeks funny and tenderly.

"Sometimes, you are so cute as a child. Let me tell you why, because I have felt the withering of life, and you..."

Mary is searching for a suitable description, "You are like green leaves? It's a lush tree."

"This sounds really bad!" Li Zitao complained unhappily.

He doesn't like to talk about this topic.

Perhaps Mary is right, she is very young and healthy.

But his heart is no longer young!

He has experienced too many separations of life and death and has attended fifty or sixty funerals.

He thought he was used to it.

But to be honest, he never expected that one day such a thing would come to her.

This is something he had never thought about before, or was unwilling to think about.

"It's okay, Charlie."

Mary gently stroked his cheek, "We have enough time, don't we?"

"Yes, we still have enough time!" Li Zitao admitted that he had lied.

Although Mary's appearance was frozen between standing and forbidden, her spirit was much worse than before.

There was obvious decline, and the aura of oldness enveloped her.

Often, I feel sleepy and tired.

Occasionally forget what you are going to say and what you are doing?

And she was lying on the rocking chair, sleeping in the sun.

That's not the picture he wants to see!

"I think we have to finish the work we are doing as soon as possible, and the children are already impatient to wait!"

Mary looked at the children in the yard, who were making childish faces at this time.

It is used to mock parents' immoral behavior that does not care about their own feelings and shows off their dog food.

"Actually, occasionally I think of the sound of the ruler slapping my butt, which sounds particularly comfortable!"

"Me too."

Mary glanced at the fun-filled children, "Maybe I should take it out of the box."

"That would be very interesting!" Li Zitao showed a gloating smile.

How dare these monkeys mock their father?

As expected, life was too comfortable, and it was time for them to experience the despair and helplessness dominated by fear again.

...

New Year's Eve.

As soon as dawn, the whole family began to wash and dress up.

Pearl kept running around, looking for accessories, belts and shoes that suit him.

"Baby, your belt and shoes are already very good."

Mary sat in front of the dressing table, trying her best to keep her calm and gentle smile.

"But how do I know if anyone will wear the same shoes? People like to wear mid-tube boots in the parade. I really should have thought of it earlier!"

Pearl didn't mean to make things difficult for her mother, but she was a little nervous.

This is her first time participating in such an event…a group event.

It represents the honor of a city, which is exciting and stressful.

Obviously, she hasn't learned how to deal with stress properly!

"Hani, listen to me..."

Mary stopped the movements in her hand, took her hand and said, "Now, go back to your room and wash your face with cold water."

"Then, put on your clothes, and your boots, stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself... I can, I'm ready, I'm the perfect one."
