She really didn't lie on purpose, after all, she didn't even know whether those strange words were really lies that hurt others.

5 years old, late autumn...

Even if her father didn't tell her, she still knew that her family's current situation was really difficult. After her grandfather passed away, her mother's family who was far away in Japan began to call over and over again to greet them for some reason.

The already dull atmosphere should be more anxious because of the continuous phone calls.Finally, late at night, the father who had just quarreled with his mother came to the bedroom and touched her head, and asked her with a smile if she wanted to go to Japan to play.

"Japan? Is it a place with beautiful cherry blossoms?" As far back as I remember, my mother always told her stories about the cherry blossom trees by her bedside.The probable reason is that she and her husband met under the tree that was neither tall nor short.

Nodding her head, she smiled under her father's guilty eyes and said that she was going to Japan.

In fact, five-year-old children are very simple-minded, but they try their best to look like adults in front of their parents.The reason was that at that time, she simply thought that as long as she went to Japan as the grandmother who had never met on the phone said, her mother who was depressed all day long would become happy again.As long as the mother is happy, the father will not be sad.

"I'm going to go, Nobuko is going to Japan to see the cherry blossoms." The five-year-old child's heart is so simple that it makes people feel sad.

Feng Xiangyang, who disposed of the furniture of the house as quickly as possible, took his wife and daughter and went to Japan with a simple salute. He never imagined that the romantic place when he first met his wife in his memory would become the grave of his daughter's youth.

With the help of Zeng Jin's university classmates, Feng Xiangyang paid for a small second floor and a small restaurant.It should be because I had a good relationship in Japan when I was in school, and the money spent on buying a house was slowly transferred back under the normal operating mode of the restaurant.

It was originally a happy day for the family, but Hyacinth, who has lived in China since she was a child, could not adapt to life here immediately.The girl with a language barrier and weird behavior was quickly isolated by the friends around her.

And Hyacinth, who was lonely in front of her parents and forced to smile behind her parents, also met the Songgang brothers who lived next door but had never met at that time.

Once again, Hyacinth, who was isolated by her little friends, sat alone on the swing in the park, swinging her legs in depression. Not far away, a group of children who looked about her age were shouting and playing hide-and-seek. game.

But if you look carefully, there seems to be a child surrounded by a panicked expression in the crowd.Supporting the still swaying swing with her feet, Hyacinth calmed down and tried hard to distinguish the vague words from the opposite child's mouth.

"No, Taketa, this is the milk my mother asked me to buy for my brother."

"Oh~~~ It's okay, we'll just pour a little."

"But... you've already poured half the bottle, Haruki will cry if he has no milk just after weaning..."

"It's so annoying, isn't it just half a bottle of milk." The little boy in the hat waved his hand, "It's okay to mix it with some white water and go home for crossing."

"But there is no white water here..."

"Then snow, it's all white anyway."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." The little boy opposite had already stuffed a bunch of dirty snowballs into the bottle.

"Hahaha~~~Idiot, let's see how you go home now hahaha~~~"

Looking at it from Hyacinth's point of view, you can clearly see the pitiful look of the little red-haired boy holding the glass bottle.Gathering the words that he could understand intermittently, Hyacinth roughly guessed the situation on the other side.

Have you been pranked...

Although isolated, Hyacinth, who had never been bullied before, obviously felt disgusted with the little boy in the hat.Jumping off the swing and running to the opposite side, Hyacinth grabbed the scarf of the little boy who was half a head shorter than her and pulled it in the direction of Matsuoka Haru.

"No...apologize..." Hyacinth, who didn't have much vocabulary, pointed at Song Gangchun and tried hard to make the little boy understand what he meant.

"Ah? Why do I have to apologize, anyway, it's no different if water is used as milk for his brother to drink." The boy who didn't notice the danger clapped his hands and said indifferently.

"It's different, Taketa, Dongshu will get sick if you drink such dirty milk." Haru Matsuoka shook the bottle in his hand, and the bottom of the bottle, which was fused with snow water and milk, was spinning, and there were black spots all over the place. soil.

"Tch—it's not my brother's business, it's not a big deal even if I get drunk."

After persuasion for a long time, Hyacinth, who did not see any repentance from the other party, let go of the boy's scarf, turned around, took the milk bottle in Matsuoka Haru's hand, opened the lid, and walked towards the snowdrift piled up in the tree ditch by the surrounding residents.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Matsuoka Haru, who saw Hyacinth for the first time, shouted strangely.

"Big man~~~" Hyacinth turned around and gave a thumbs up to the red-haired boy who heard the voice.

The ungloved hand dug a few times in the snowdrift and dug out a black cloud of mud and snow. He threw the contents into the bottle with a calm expression and shook it a few times. When the other child didn't react, the wind Xinzi stretched his legs sideways with a run-up and kicked down the bully little boy just now.

"Oh!!!! You guy is going to do ... Hurry up ... Guru ..."

When Matsuoka Haru was overly frightened and ran home to call for her sister, Hyacinth had already thrown the milk bottle in the trash can according to the regulations, and the little boy with the hat was sitting in the snow with milk residue hanging from the corner of his mouth Wow cry.

"Big man...this bottle of milk...brother...he... gave it to you..." After stammering these words, Hyacinth still didn't forget to show her hands with scissors to Sister Songgang who just came from the opposite side .

"Hey hey hey who are you so cute and love to be hugged by my sister!!!"

Hyacinth, who was flaunting his power and preaching to other friends around him, was caught off guard by someone hugging him from behind.

"Sister... Sister Sister, what should we do when Zhutai's father comes!!!" Song Gangchun who was standing on the side turned pale when he saw the adults who came in a hurry.

And then... the hyacinth was brought home by Matsuoka's sister and played with the newly weaned Matsuoka Fuyuki. Only after his father knocked on the neighbor's door in sweat late at night did he realize that he hadn't said hello to the adults after coming out for so long ...

"Yes, yes, yes... I'm sorry Dad, I was too happy to play and forgot to go home QAQ."

"...I said before you apologize, can you let go of other people's children, Xinzijiang..."

Sighing helplessly, Feng Xiangyang took off his shoes and walked into the house at the invitation of the host next door.

Children with friends and children without friends are obviously different, which can be seen from the voices Feng Meifu heard when passing by the door of her daughter's bedroom when she went to the bathroom at night.Through the crack of the door, she peeked at her daughter who was lying on the balcony holding a flashlight and discussing with her friend next door what time to go out tomorrow, Feng Meifu raised her eyebrows and left quietly.

Well... children...
