"The secret earth sea (
A small low house is Donna's home in the world's crown.
In the room, Nini was holding a bowl on the table, while she was eating while talking with sparkling excitement.
They were talking about ordinary trivial matters, but she couldn't help but be happy, and she was listening quietly, sitting on the side.
Dongna, who was drinking mushroom soup, watched this scene with a smile. Sometimes the happiness of adults is always mixed with too much, but the children are different. Their happiness is sometimes so simple.
"Mom, can Shining sleep with me tonight?" Nini asked excitedly, holding a spoon.
"Okay, but you must go to bed early at night, and you can't hide in the quilt and whisper."
Hearing her mother's words, Nini raised her spoon and cheered.
"Hurry up, the bread is cold."
The oil lamp on the table shook slightly, and the small room was full of warmth.
At the end of the dinner, the farmers had no entertainment, so they were ready to go to bed after washing.
Inside the large patched quilt, Nini and Xiaoying huddled together, whispering to each other, giggling from time to time.
Nini, with a cheerful expression, squeezed towards Shining, "Shining, I have said enough about my business. Let’s talk about your affairs. Have you encountered any interesting things?"
Looking at the low ceiling above, Shining recalled her memories of less than a year from birth to now.
"Well... I once found a big bone in the sea. The bone is very big and big. I can go inside and play. It's fun."
"What else? What else? Say a little more." Nini's eyes lit up.
Shining thought hard, and finally shook her head. "No more, just this."
Nini's eyes widened in surprise, "No way, only this interesting thing?"
Seeing Shining nodding her head, Nini asked again: "What about your family? What are your parents like?"
When she talked about mom, Shining's chat box suddenly opened.
"My mother, I do a lot of things every day. I don't understand those things very well, but she sometimes plays ball with me and I like it very much. I also like the taste of her."
"She would talk to me in another language. No one else would speak this language except my father and my mother."
"When I was not very good at talking, my mother asked me to come out to play with other people and learn from others, so I learned that I love my mother."
Nini nodded. "Well, I love my mother too, what about my father? What kind of person is your father?"
"Dad..." There was a trace of memory in Shining eyes.
"One time he didn't recognize me when I went to find him. The last time I went to where he lived, he stayed with his mother every day and ignored me."
"And he doesn't play ball with me like his mother, and he never sleeps with his arms around me. I am a little afraid of him now. Do you think he doesn't like me?"
"Will your father bring you delicious food when he comes back?" There was a trace of memory in Nini's eyes.
"I remember before I was three years old, my dad would bring all kinds of delicious food every time he went back to the pier. I don't know what those things are called, but I only remember that they are delicious. They are not on the island. There are sweet and hemp. Hemp and spicy."
Shining thought for a while tilted her head. "My dad never bought me anything to eat."
Nini nodded on her stomach. "It sounds like your dad is a bad dad, maybe it's because he doesn't see you often when he goes to sea, but..."
Speaking of this, Nini said with a trace of envy: "But it is better to have a father than no father. Even if my father ignores me, I want him to come back. At least in this way, I will not be said to have no father. Child."
As soon as Nini's words fell, there was a vaguely suppressed cry in the next room.
Nini looked towards the voice, she quickly put her finger on her mouth, gestured a boo, and said in a low voice: "Shin, let's be quiet. Mom seems to be awakened by us."
Shining nodded, and said in her tone: "Okay, then we whispered, Nini, what about your father?"
"My dad never came back a long time ago, but that's okay. Many people on this island don't have a dad anymore. Some people say we don't have a dad, so we guys just partnered to beat them."
"Where did their father go?"
"Their dad is like my dad. After going out to sea, he never came back."
Shining listened ignorantly, "Is the sea dangerous? I don't feel dangerous at all."
"It's dangerous." Nini spread her hands and followed her mother's tone and said: "The environment on the boat is very closed. If something happens, it will be a big trouble. If there is no water, you will die of thirst, and you will starve to death if you have nothing to eat. There are all kinds of terrifying monsters inside, specializing in disobedient children."
When Nini said this, she didn't stretch herself, she threw herself on Shining and giggled. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm
Her laughter gradually diminished, and her expression became a little faint. "Actually... these are what I heard from my mother. I don't know if the danger in the sea is not dangerous. I only know that my father never came back after he went out. I...I miss my father so much now."
The room quieted down slowly, and Nini's cheerful laughter never sounded again.
"The sea is dangerous. Is it possible that Dad won't come back again?" Shining's mind flashed, the strange thing with two noses that dragged Dad's boat from the water to the surface with its claws.
Suddenly, there was a hint of emotion in her heart that she had never had before, and she suddenly wanted to find her father, begging him not to go to sea again.
Although her father ignored her, she didn't want her father to be the same as Nini's father and never come again.
Unknowingly, the next day arrived, and Nini saw it as soon as she woke up, staring at the ceiling with her eyes open.
She reached out and hugged. "Good morning, Shining, did you wake up so early?"
Before answering, Nini seemed to notice something. She held the oil lamp next to her and walked towards the window.
When she saw the strange scenery outside the window, her eyes suddenly showed excitement.
"Sparkling, look, today is Mao Maotian. Great. There will be one Mao Maotian this month. There must be a good harvest of ryegrass in our field!"
Outside the window at this time, gray powder slowly fell from the sky like snowflakes. There was no snowflakes in the earth and sea. This is just the crown of the world beginning to spread spores. For ryegrass, these are rare good things.
Nini suddenly thought of something. She ran to the kitchen excitedly and asked her mother who was making breakfast: "Mom, today is Mao Maotian, can Shining go back later?"
