"Sister, are you talking about my mother..." Dahua couldn't continue talking halfway through.
Ye Luoxin nodded.
"It's just what you think."
"Your mother knows that she doesn't have long to live, so she wants to use her last bit of strength to help you again."
The two sisters could no longer control themselves and cried.
"Sister, I'm sorry, we shouldn't cry." Dahua apologized while wiping her tears.
Ye Luoxin waved her hand: "Go back to the room, have a good cry, and then live a good life after crying."
Dahua nodded, picked up her sister and walked out.
Looking at the backs of the two girls, Ye Luoxin sighed softly.
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
Mrs. Zhao may not have done well in other aspects, but when it comes to her two daughters, she has done the best she can.
In order not to bring trouble to her two daughters, she even wanted to burn everything with a fire when she died.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Mu asked as he saw her lost in thought.
Ye Luoxin smiled tiredly: "I'm thinking that the two of them are lucky. At least they have a mother who thinks about them wholeheartedly."
Xiao Mu came over, sat next to her, reached out and patted his shoulder.
Ye Luoxin leaned forward naturally.
Xiao Mu held Ye Luoxin's hand and said softly: "Luoluo must have had a mother who loved her when she was a child."
Ye Luoxin closed her eyes after hearing this.
Xiao Mu continued: "Now that you have me, you can act coquettishly or lose your temper with me. You can tell me what you want to eat and what you want to play."
Ye Luoxin closed her eyes and laughed.
She lifted one of Xiao Mu's fingers and asked with a smile: "Why, do you still want to be my mother?"
Xiao Mu was not angry when he heard this, but said seriously: "Just treat yourself as a little girl here with me."
"Okay!" Ye Luoxin stretched out her arms.
"Then the little girl is going to bed to take a nap now. Can you carry me there?"
Without saying a word, Xiao Mu hugged her waist with one hand, picked up her legs with the other, and carried her to the bed.
After getting into bed, he helped Ye Luoxin take off her shoes, then picked up the thin quilt on the side and covered her with it.
"Does the little girl need to be coaxed to sleep?"
As soon as Xiao Mu finished speaking, his palm fell gently and patted Ye Luoxin's back.
Ye Luoxin opened her eyes again, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like butterfly wings.
She looked at Xiao Mu: "When you were a child, was this how your mother put you to sleep?"
Xiao Mu's expression changed, and he said instead: "I am a grown man, why do I need someone to coax me."
Seeing the tiredness in Ye Luoxin's eyes, he continued: "Go to sleep. I will leave after you fall asleep."
Ye Luoxin closed her eyes again.
She felt Xiao Mu's big palm slap on her lower back, neither lightly nor hard.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
The sound and the feeling on her body merged into a hypnotic rhythm, making Ye Luoxin feel like she was in the clouds and mist, soft and soft, and soon she fell into the fragrance of dreams.

After Ye Luoxin fell asleep, Xiao Mu walked out of the house.
He swept the barns in the backyard and was about to add some grass to the rabbits, chickens and geese, when Big Flower and Little Flower came out of the house.
"Uncle Xiao, let's do all this work." Dahua said.
Xiao Mu looked up.
Although the eyes of the two sisters were still red, the expressions on their faces were much better than before.
But, what is Uncle Xiao? Isn’t Luoluo a sister? Why is he an uncle?
Xiao Mu thought for a moment.
There seems to be no problem for the two girls to call their mother Grandma and uncle.
He nodded expressionlessly.
Put down the grass in his hand, turned around and left the backyard.
Just as he walked into the front yard, he heard another voice coming from the next door.
"Why did this house burn down like this? It's uninhabitable after it's burned down like this!" said a woman.
"Who says it's not the case! I don't know where the old lady hid the title deed. I'm afraid the title deed was burnt to ashes in this fire!" a man replied.
"What are the two of us doing here after it's burned to ashes! I'm telling you, Zhao Dahe, you are not allowed to do that thing of collecting people's bodies and cleaning up the aftermath, and don't act like a good Samaritan for me.
If you can find the land deed today, you can still take care of your brother's affairs. If you can't find it, you can go home with me quickly. "
"Okay, okay, got it!" Zhao Dahe's voice came again.
Li Zheng was following behind the two people, and when he heard their words, he couldn't help curling his lips.
Seeing that they still wanted to go in, Li Zheng stretched out his hand to stop them: "Two, two, don't go in yet."
Zhao Dahe stopped, looked at Li Zheng and said, "What's the matter? You can't enter this house?"
"It's not impossible to enter." Li Zheng said: "This house was burned by fire. Logically speaking, we should report it to the official and let the government take a look. But now that you are the Zhao family, you have to decide whether to report it to the official." .
If you are reporting to the official, I advise you two not to enter the house first, so as not to trample everything inside. "
Zhao Dahe and his wife looked at each other.
When someone came to notify them today, they said that Zhao Dashan's family had been burned to death and asked them to come and take a look.
They thought they could get a bargain now.
I didn't know it was so complicated.
"Report, what kind of official are you reporting to!" Zhao Dahe usually speaks loudly, but he is also afraid of getting into trouble.
How can ordinary people not be afraid of officials?
"Forget it, let's not worry about this, or let's go back." Zhao Dahe said to his wife.
His wife, Zhao Li, did not give up.
This free advantage cannot be taken advantage of.
If they don't go in and look for it this time, they won't have this opportunity in the future.
"Isn't it obvious that there was a fire in the house and people were burned to death? What's the point of reporting it to the official? When the official comes, it's just a formality. The house is burned like this. What can you tell?" Zhao Lishi road.
"That's right!" Zhao Dahe also said, "No need to report to the official, let's take a look first."
With that said, they didn't listen to Li Zheng's words, and the two of them walked in through the broken door.
Before taking two steps, Zhao Li seemed to have stepped on something.
When she lowered her head and saw what she was stepping on, she suddenly ran out with an "ouch".
I stood in the yard and vomited.
