Summer of Fireflies

The care of their family, especially Xiaochun, her relationship with me has always been as close as a sister.

"Auntie Xiaochun said that she will come to see me and Lisa next week. If you don't believe Lisa, you can ask her in person." The little guy dragged me and ran upstairs.

I was a little surprised when I heard An An’s words. You must know that although Xiaochun is my cousin, I haven’t seen her since I left Japan and went to university in Rome. The same goes for my uncle and aunt, but every Friday In the evening, I will make online video calls with Xiaochun's family to maintain a certain amount of contact, but recently, An An often performs video calls for this contact task.

Xiaochun had been to Rome, but I was no longer in Rome at that time, and she had never been to Palermo, so I was so surprised when she said that she would come to see our mother and child next week.

"Xiaochun, I heard from An An that you are coming to Palermo?" I asked while sitting in front of the computer.The woman in the video has short shoulder-length black hair, seven-point bangs, beautiful appearance, big eyes and vitality. Xiaochun is the kind of woman who makes people know that she is a cheerful personality.

"Hi, Cousin Hotaru, we did a good job last week, so the boss gave me and Kyoko a lot of vacations, and Kyoko wanted to go to see her boyfriend in Palermo, and I also wanted to go to Palermo to see Cousin Hotaru and Kyoko. An An, so I plan to go with Kyoko next week."

I know that Xiaochun has a good friend named Kyoko in Japan. If she has a companion to come with her, I will feel relieved about Xiaochun's safety.

"I heard that the harbor of Palermo is very beautiful, and there are many tourist attractions, such as the Palermo Cathedral, the Valley of the Temples and the Fountain Square, as well as the beautiful puppet show, Hay, Xiaochun has long wanted to go to the beautiful Sicily to see it See, now Xiaochun finally took the opportunity." The woman in the video suddenly clasped her hands together, with a look of eager anticipation.

"Do you need me and An'an to pick you up at the airport next week?" I asked.

"No... don't bother Cousin Ying, Xiaochun also has friends in Palermo, they will come to pick Xiaochun up." The woman in the video scratched her head with a little shyness on her face.

I quickly noticed some clues to her rare shy expression, "The person Xiaochun likes...will he also come to pick up Xiaochun?" I asked pretending not to care.

The woman's cheeks turned even redder after hearing this, as if she was afraid that I would make fun of her, the woman tilted her head to the bottom, and after a few seconds she raised her head to face me, and nodded with a blushing face.

"In this case, my cousin is too embarrassed to be your light bulb and disturb your long-lost reunion." I sighed suddenly, feeling like a woman was not good enough.

"Cousin Ying, you are making fun of Xiaochun again!" She gave me an angry look.

I added to the woman with a half-smile, "It's Xiaochun who makes fun of sex and despises friends."

The woman in the video immediately exploded: "Xiaochun doesn't value sex over friends!"

"Hey, Xiaochun is the best." I followed the woman with fried hair, said good night, and then turned off the video. Just as I was about to get up, a curious white head popped out beside me. "What did Auntie Xiaochun say to Lisa just now to make Lisa smile so happily?"

"Well..." I pretended to ponder for a while, then lowered my head and patted his little head, "Your Aunt Xiaochun told Mom that you will have Uncle Xiaochun soon."

"What, Lisa, you said that I will have Uncle Xiaochun soon?!" The little guy's eyes widened in an instant, "Which bastard dares to take away Aunt Xiaochun, An An must make him look good when he sees him!" Violet eyes The bones are spinning, I know that An An must be making some crooked ideas again, the little guy has this innocent and cute smiling expression every time he makes a crooked idea.

I decided to turn a blind eye to the little guy's misguided behavior. I always knew that Xiaochun had a sweetheart here, although I didn't know who he was, and there was nothing about Xiaochun and that person. It's just a little bit, but if I want to watch Xiaochun being abducted by other men, there will always be a little bit of reluctance in my heart.

In my eyes, my cousin Miura Haru is a good girl who deserves to be treated well by others. I remember how complicated and worried I was when Xiaochun said that she fell in love with someone who was not in the same world as her, and it is still complicated now. worry.

On the one hand, I hope she will be happy this time, on the other hand, if the other party doesn't like Xiaochun, I'm afraid that she will follow in my footsteps.

Because this is Xiaochun's matter, as a cousin, I can't say anything about this matter, I can only pray, the person Xiaochun likes, I hope he is different from the person I once fell in love with, but , If I don't go and see it with my own eyes, I always feel that I can't feel at ease.

After making up my mind that if Xiaochun came to Palermo, I must see with my own eyes what kind of person the person she likes is, and I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, my soup!" I yelled suddenly and ran downstairs quickly. I was thinking about Xiaochun just now, but I forgot that I was making soup.I hurried into the kitchen to remove the lid from the boiling pot, only to burn my fingers.

Every day is to go to work, and then go to the kindergarten to pick up An An. I am probably the happiest thing this week is that I finally got my car back.

With a car, it will be much more convenient to commute to and from get off work, and it will be much more convenient to pick up An An. On weekends, you can drive to Uncle Joseph’s house, or drive to see the scenery and have a picnic.

It is not easy to maintain a car, and the price of gasoline has risen again recently, which makes my wallet shrink again, but the car is an indispensable means of transportation for every family to go out.

I sighed, thinking that if Anna invited me to go shopping next time, I would probably refuse directly because of my tight pockets.

No way, friendship is precious, but the wallet is higher. Don't forget that I still have a oil bottle at home that needs to be fed all the time.

I didn’t make a living in the society before, and I didn’t know the hardships of firewood, rice, oil and salt, not to mention that I am still a mother of a child, and I shoulder the heavy responsibility of raising An’an to grow up. Anna, she is not married and has no children. Of course, there is no life for a single mother like me. pressure.

One thing worth noting is the visit of brown-haired young friends.

In the morning, I saw a super luxurious black car parked next door. Many people got in and out of the car and couldn't tell the difference.

At noon, the brown-haired young man personally delivered some Japanese sushi to me. It is said that a friend of his named Takeshi Yamamoto made it. Because he brought too much to eat, he gave it to An An and me.

Although Tsunayoshi Sawada is my junior and neighbor, I didn't gossip about his friend's visit and went next door to visit his friends.

To me, Tsunayoshi Sawada is Tsunayoshi Sawada, his friends belong to his friends and not related to me, completely irrelevant people, I have no intention of getting to know them.

Even if it is possible to see the relatively familiar Hayato Gokuji, I have no intention of meeting him again.Besides, God knows if we meet again, whether the silver-haired boy from back then will still recognize me, a nothing special senior.

Irrelevant and related, and slightly related, I have always drawn a clear line of my interpersonal communication.

However, there are always surprises in the world.

After finishing the housework in the evening, I am helping An An to trim his long nails with nail clippers. There are many bacteria inside the nails. Although I ask An An to wash his hands every time I eat, I trim the long nails every once in a while. Keep your nails clean so that An An won't get sick easily.

If An An is sick, it will be another huge project to torture people. It will take me a lot of effort to comfort and persuade An An to take medicine, let alone those expensive things that the society has to pay for every time she gets sick. Medical bills.

I have been a single mother for a long time, and I have developed the habit of calculating everything carefully. I clearly write down the money that should be spent and the money that should not be spent in the account book.

"Okay." I put down An An's hand, the little guy didn't want to do his nails, and he couldn't do it himself, so I had to do it for him.

Just when I wanted to get up, the room shook for a while, and my body was crooked. If it wasn't for the sofa in front of me, I almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" I looked at the table and chairs that were still shaking in shock, and after the violent shaking, the house suddenly became quiet, and suddenly the chandelier on the ceiling shook again, I grabbed An An's hand and rushed out of the house Door.

The first reaction was an earthquake, the second reaction was an earthquake, and the first reaction was, of course, to pull An An out of the earthquaked house quickly.

The room next door was brightly lit, obviously there were still people there, and I didn't know where the courage came from, so I dragged An An and ran to the next door.

It only shook slightly in my own room, but the ground next door shook even more violently, and I even heard a huge explosion from their room.

I was startled, and immediately trotted over with An An.

I ran over to knock on the door in a hurry, but to my surprise, the door of Tsunayoshi Sawada's house was not closed by him, so I pushed the door open with a little force.

"Gang Ji-jun, the earthquake..." Before I could finish my words, I saw the movements of the people in the room freeze instantly, and all kinds of surprised eyes looked at me and An'an together.

"What are you...doing?" I stared in surprise at the messy objects in the room, and then glanced at the people in the room one by one.

A Chinese girl in a red Chinese warrior uniform is pressing one hand of a child, and a young man with brown hair is pressing his other hand, a young brunette in sunshine
