The sunset in a rural town was indeed different from that in the city.
Every time she went to visit Qiong, she would see him looking out the window and at the setting sun when she opened the door of the ward.
The sun was hidden in the city. It was time to go home.
Qiong had once said something like this.
In fact, Qiong had always wished to stay at home and not in that lonely ward.
Before we finished eating, Qiong and I sat side by side in the corridor, watching my mother and grandmother pick vegetables in the courtyard.
"These little onions are all grown at home. They will definitely taste more delicious than the ones in the city... When the old man and I have nothing to do, we will plant some vegetables to exercise our old bones.”Grandmother smiled as she spoke to her mother.
"Hehe, I really envy you guys. You guys are living such a leisurely life. I hope that one day, I can also stay at home with peace of mind and accompany Xiao You and Qiong.”His mother smiled and said.
Qiong and I sat there quietly. When we turned around, we saw that Qiong's eyes seemed to reveal an expression of wanting to help.
"Oh! Do it like this!" I jumped down and put my face in front of Qiong.
"Eh? You...?" Qiong's body shrank back slightly as he asked softly.
"Go help! Qiong also wants to help, right?" I held Qiong's hand.
"Hey, but..." Qiong seemed to be a little afraid.
"No buts, hurry up!”I pulled Qiong up and ran towards my mother with a smile.
"Hmm? Could it be that Xiaoyou and Qiong also wanted to help?”Hearing my laughter, Mom turned her head.
"Of course, I'll make a lot of them. They'll definitely surprise everyone!”I made a victory gesture and turned around.
"Qiong will help too, right?"
Compared to the healthy me, Qiong's body was clearly smaller. She nodded lightly and said,""I will work hard."
What a simple answer, but it made me very happy.
That was because he didn't have many days to spend with Qiong.
Mom always had a smile on her face. Under her guidance, Qiong and I put on gloves and started to help.
"Here, pinch it with two fingers and pick it up.”
According to what my mother said, I successfully plucked one.
"Look, look! It's done. It's a success in one try!" I said excitedly, showing the green onion in my hand to my mother.
"Hey! Qiong is also done!" I placed Qiong's hand next to my hand. I turned around and saw a faint smile on Qiong's face.
This way, he should be able to create more memories.
After dinner, Grandfather and Grandmother brought us to Aomuran for a stroll.
Dad let me ride on his shoulders while Qiong was held in Mom's arms.
"You haven't changed at all. You're still as idle as ever.”Looking at the small town, his father sighed.
"Daddy used to live in a place like this?”Qiong asked softly.
"Yes, this is where Daddy grew up…I remember when I was young, there would be many fireflies on the mountain during this season. At that time, I always liked to catch fireflies in a bottle. They sparkled and were very beautiful.”
Dad's story attracted our attention and we listened carefully.
"Sometimes, I can even go to the paddy field to catch frogs. In a night, I can catch seven or eight frogs."
"You can still see the traditional witch dance during the annual ceremony. It's no longer seen in the city.”Father said as he fell into his memories.
“... Fireflies…What does it look like?" Qiong asked.
"It's a small insect that can flash and fly in the sky…Speaking of which, Qiong and Xiaoyou had never seen fireflies before.”
Qiong and I looked at each other before shouting,""Then I'll go catch a few for Qiong to see!”
Grandfather and Grandmother smiled at us and took us to visit the houses of the people we were familiar with in the past.
Time passed like this. At night, we returned home.
"Pa!" Just as we stepped into the courtyard, we suddenly heard a noise from the house beside us, followed by the sound of people arguing.
"Eh... What's wrong?" I asked curiously.
Qiong buried his head in his mother's arms in fear.
"It's that child's parents…Seriously, he had already said it, but now this happened again.”His grandfather's voice became a little stern. He handed the key to his father and said,"I'll go there to take a look. You guys can go home first.”
"Eh? Is this okay? Do you want me to go and take a look?" his father asked.
"No need. It's not good to have too many people. You guys can go back first.”
"Please be careful!" his mother said.
Unlike my father, I was more concerned about the child that my grandfather had mentioned.
? Are there any other kids around the same age as me and Qiong? I really want to get to know them.
If he could make a few more friends, Qiong would definitely be even happier.
After we went back, the noise in the house next door gradually died down. After a while, Grandfather came back with a girl.
"Doctor, I'm really sorry! Please take care of this child today.”An unfamiliar woman bowed to her grandfather at the door.
"Grandfather…" I leaned over and called out softly, but my eyes were sizing up the girl.
"Ah, it's Xiao You... Nao, can you go inside first?”Grandfather looked at me and seemed to have thought of something. He lowered his head and said to the little girl.
She nodded, but it was obvious that she was not interested. She walked into the living room in a familiar manner.
When we passed by me, we sized each other up.
"Xiao You, go in too. I still have some things to deal with.”Grandfather said again, his tone clearly not allowing for any rebuttal.
When he returned to the living room, he could vaguely hear his grandfather's angry voice coming from the door.
"Hmph, I've clearly said before that when a child is at this age, how much influence will your quarrels have on her…" Her mother turned up the volume of the television to cover her grandfather's voice.
Me, Qiong, Dad, and Mom all looked at this girl curiously.
"Nao, introduce yourself.”Grandmother handed her an apple and said with a smile.
"Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you. My name is Iyuan Nao.”
"Ah, my name is Yu Kasugano!" I hurriedly replied.
"I'm Kasugami Yogome... You's sister." Qiong said softly.
"Iyuan Nao? Then can I call you Nao from now on?”I asked.
“... Yes, it's okay." Nao nodded.
"Please take care of me in the future, Nao!”I laughed.
"Please take care of me…" Qiong said softly.
"Yes, please take care of me." Nao nodded and forced a smile at us.
That night, Naxo stayed at our house, and Qiong and I made our first friend since coming to Aomuran.
