Chapter 58: The Innocence and Happiness of Children
The so-called fun place the two little guys brought Gu Qingming to was a grain-sunning field in Stoneback Village.
When it ca to harvest season, it was a place to dry rice and peanuts.
Usually, the barnyard wasn’t a fun place. Other than a large empty space, there was nothing that attracted children.
But now, there were two piles of sand in the grain-sunning field.
Soone in the village was building a house. The sand that needed to be used was temporarily piled here.
This sand had beco a happy paradise for children, especially children under the age of six or seven.
They used the pile of sand for all kinds of fun.
They pretended to plant trees, build castles, dug mud ditches, and so on.
Gu Qingming glanced at the hot sun above. The sky was bright and cloudless.
At this mont the children were frolicking in these sands, playing innocently and happily.
But she didn’t want to play here!
Oh, she seed to have forgotten sothing. She’d forgotten to apply sunscreen.
When one’s skin was tanned, it would beco dark and thick. It was ugly, especially on a June day like this. Although it was morning, the light was still so strong. If one was exposed to the sun for a while, their skin would probably be dark, let alone for a morning.
At the thought of this, Gu Qingming beca a little anxious.
Girls were vain.
A fair-skinned woman looked even more beautiful.
But she had promised to play with the two little guys. If she left like this, they would probably be disappointed.
Gu Qingming thought for a mont before squatting down and saying to the two little fellows, “Little Haohao, Little Xuanxuan, I have to go back now. Can you play here yourselves?”
Shi Jiahao imdiately said, “Aunt, shall I go back with you?”
However, his gaze drifted to the ditch he had just dug in the sand.
Little Junxuan nodded as well. “That’s right, Aunt. Grandma asked and my brother to take care of you. We’ll go back together!”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “There’s no need. Don’t worry, Aunt is an adult and can take care of herself. If you’d like to continue playing, you can stay and play here. Aunt will co over in a while.”
Little Junxuan and Little Jiahao thought for a mont and nodded. “All right, then. But Aunt, do you rember the way? You won’t get lost, will you?”
Gu Qingming imdiately said incredulously, “You two brats, aren’t you looking down on too much? I’m an adult. How can I get lost?”
The two little guys were relieved.
They nodded and said, “Yes, Auntie, go back now. Co back later!”
For the children, the problem of the weather was not at all their concern.
Their days were about not being cold in winter and not being hot in sumr. They played as much as it was fun outside.
Gu Qingming looked at these innocent and cute children playing with the sand happily again. For so reason, she felt especially relaxed and comfortable.
Gu Qingming walked ho.
However, when she reached a fork in the road, she looked around and chose the path on the left.
But ho was on the right!
It was impossible for Gu Qingming to admit that she was a little directionally challenged.
As she walked, she felt that sothing was wrong. Why had she walked to a pond?
There were a lot of lotus flowers planted in the pond.
“What a beautiful lotus flower!” Gu Qingming praised.
She decided to sit here and admire the natural lotus flowers, not the artificially remodeled ones in the tourist area.
She found a spot where the vegetation was greener and drier and sat down.
Suddenly her ears twitched.
“Brother Feng, I found a very beautiful item that can definitely be sold for a high price!”
