Chapter 1042: Return Home 10
"Draw a map?" He Teng was bewildered by this term.
"It means wetting the bed." He Zhilan’s mouth twitched. "Don’t tell me you don’t know how to either! Dad told me that once, you peed the bed when you were already seven!"
He Teng knew that He Zhilan was saying all this just to tease him.
"I’ll deal with you when we get back!" He Teng didn’t argue. After dinner last night, He Zhilan and their father had a long talk, during which there was constant laughter. He Teng realized that any embarrassing thing he or He Da did as children was shared by their father with He Zhilan as a joke.
"Hmph." He Zhilan stuck her tongue out at He Teng, then got up and squatted to the side, took some soil from the ground, and casually stuck a small twig into the small mound of dirt. She called out to He Teng, saying, "Brother, this is a grave for our lost child. Even though it has no name, by placing a small mound of earth next to our mom’s side, it’s as if the child could come here if he misses grandma and grandpa, right? He could even keep grandma company! By the way, do you think our mom can meet our child down there? I really want to ask mom if our child is a boy or a girl, and whether they looked more like you or me."
He Teng was startled, stood up, and walked over to He Zhilan. He stood while He Zhilan squatted; all he could see in his line of sight were her drooping eyelids, hiding all the emotions in her eyes, but her voice couldn’t conceal the sadness in her heart at that moment.
The child, in the end, still preoccupied her mind, difficult to let go.
