"Godmother, godmother——"
Seeing the girl in a yellow coat from a distance in the crowd, Sun Rongfang held a large travel bag in each hand and urged her son to run forward: "Hurry up, walk faster, your sister Lixuan is here to pick us up."
After being urged by his mother, Xie Youtian followed leisurely, carrying a big blue schoolbag on his shoulders and looking around. As a little friend who left his hometown, the small city of Songyuan, for the first time and came to a big city, everything seemed strange, new and curious to him.
"We'll see what you do if you get lost later." Seeing her son walking so slowly, Sun Rongfang scolded her.
Wu Lixuan found a gap in the crowd, walked in front of Sun Rongfang, reached out to take the duffel bag, and said, "Godmother, I'll carry it."
"Don't worry. The bag is heavy." Sun Rongfang tried to slap her hand away.
"It doesn't matter, it's not like I haven't done anything before." Wu Lixuan'er snatched the luggage from Sun Rongfang's hand without saying anything.
Sun Rongfang turned back to her slow son and jumped again: "Ignore you, let's go."
Wu Lixuan called out to the children: "Xie Youtian, do you want to eat McDonald's?"
Hearing that there was something to eat, Xie Youtian opened his legs and knew he was about to run away. He trotted up to Sister Wu and asked, "Where is the McDonald's?"
"Are you afraid that I will lie to you? Look, there is a house in front of you." Wu Lixuan pointed to him, not intentionally coaxing him. Sun Rongfang and the others had originally intended to take Sun Rongfang off the train to have something to eat nearby.
The train used to be slow, and it took more than ten hours to get here. Knowing that Sun Rongfang and the others had to save money on the train, they would definitely not be willing to buy delicious food and would go hungry.
Xie Youtian stuck out his tongue and licked his mouth. For a child of his age, Western fast food like McDonald's and KFC are very tempting.
Several people walked to McDonald's in the train station. On the way, Sun Rongfang discouraged her goddaughter from spending money: "Eating anything else is too expensive and not worth it. Two hamburgers cost dozens of dollars."
"Godmother, don't take it to heart if you eat once in a while. I told you on the phone that I have some money now, and I can afford it."
"It's not easy for you to make money either."
Unable to convince her godmother for a while, Wu Lixuan simply changed the subject and put her hand on her little brother's head to measure his height: "Isn't Youtian not growing taller?"
Xie Youtian, who is in the first grade of junior high school, is as tall as a primary school student, like a small garlic sprout. Her sister Xie Wanying is over 1.6 meters tall, and he is shorter in comparison.
"Let's wait and see in the second and third grades of junior high school. His sister grew taller in the second grade of junior high school." Sun Rongfang recalled her daughter's growth process. She said that raising a son is more difficult than raising a daughter. Yingying obediently listened to her mother's words, but her son was naughty and secretly fighting with her all day long.
"How are your brothers and sisters?" Sun Rongfang asked her goddaughter how she was doing.
"My sister is graduating from college this year." Wu Lixuan said.
The second eldest son of the Wu family, Wu Lizhen, was studying at the Business School in the provincial capital of her hometown, just one year after Xie Wanying was admitted to university.
"Has she found a job?" Sun Rongfang asked.
"Our family is not worried about her." Wu Lixuan said honestly. Her sister is more capable than her. Wu Lizhen was good at foreign languages in college. She participated in school practical activities and showed up at business exchange meetings two years ago. She was able to contact manufacturers and become a personal agent to make money.
Hearing that her daughter, who was also a college student, was already subsidizing her family's income, Sun Rongfang sighed inwardly: she was increasingly worried about her daughter's future livelihood.
"Godmother, you don't have to worry about Yingying. Yingying is very popular with the teachers. I think she will have no problem finding a job." Wu Lixuan made a prediction based on her own observation of helping a child.
