Chapter 140: Chapter 140 Mom is Really Leaving

Lin Xinlan was packing her luggage when Xiaocong brought over a big pile of his snacks and tried to place them in her suitcase.

"Mom, take these to eat on the way," he said.

Lin Xinlan was momentarily stunned, and so was Lin’s mother.

With a tilted head, Xiaocong smiled and said, "Mom, I still have lots of tasty snacks, but I’m worried they will be too heavy for you, so I didn’t give them all to you."

He then fished two pieces of chocolate out of his pocket, opened up his pale little palm and said, "This chocolate is really delicious, it’s what grandma bought for me the other day. I’ve been reluctant to eat it—take it for the road."

Lin’s mother turned away, unable to stop her eyes from reddening.

At the time, she had bought him four pieces of chocolate. He ate one himself, gave her one, and hadn’t touched the remaining two.

When she asked him why he wasn’t eating it, he said it was very tasty, but he wanted to save it, to eat once he had forgotten the taste of the chocolate.

Listening to him, she felt so tender toward him that she said, "Eat it, my dear. Grandma will buy you more once it’s gone."

Xiaocong shook his head and said, "No need, Grandma, Mom said I should eat less sugar. If my teeth go bad, it will hurt a lot."

Seeing how sensible he was and that he knew to take care of his teeth, she didn’t say anything more and just let him be.

Little did she know, the chocolate he had saved for several days, he would end up giving it all to Lin Xinlan today.

Lin Xinlan squatted down, ruffled his hair, and only took one piece of chocolate to hold in her hand.

She smiled slightly and said, "Xiaocong, Mom will eat just one piece, and you keep the other piece, okay? You have one, and Mom has one; this way, we both can enjoy the chocolate."

"But Grandma doesn’t have any. Let’s give this piece to Grandma," he said, groping for Lin’s mother, catching hold of her trousers, and lifting his hand palm-up, he said earnestly, "Grandma, this piece is for you."

Moved by his innocent devotion, they both felt touched and saddened.

Lin’s mother squatted down, lifted him into her arms, kissed him, and said, "Xiaocong, keep it for yourself. Grandma is old and my teeth aren’t good. Eating too much sugar will make my teeth hurt."

"Oh, is that so," he said, half understanding and half confused, and put the chocolate away reluctantly.

It was getting late. Lin Xinlan, with a trace of a smile, said, "Let’s go, we should head to the station."

As they were leaving, she took her child from Lin’s mother’s arms and handed over her luggage to her. The three of them walked silently toward the station, occasionally exchanging a few words.

Xiaocong finally realized that his mother was really going to leave. He lay on her shoulder, sullen and unhappy.

Lin’s mother had many words of advice for Xinlan, and Xinlan had many for her mother as well.

The walk from their house to the bus station was only fifteen minutes, a time that passed too quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.

Lin’s mother stowed the luggage for her and came over to take Xiaocong from Xinlan’s arms, advising her, "Get on the bus now, be careful on the road."

"Yeah, Mom, I’m off now."

Xiaocong immediately became agitated, stretching his arms out and weeping, "Mom, hug me, hug me one more time!"

Lin Xinlan cried too, holding him tight, kissing his cheek, and saying with reluctance, "Xiaocong, Mom is going now. You have to listen to Grandma, okay?"

"Yes, I will listen to Grandma."

"After a while, Mom will come back to see you. Make sure to eat well and stay happy, grow up strong, understand?"

"I understand, Mom, I will listen to you,"
