Chapter 721 (1/2)
December 25, 2102.
A small town in Maine.
In the early morning, a nine-year-old boy woke up from his dream and stretched out beautifully.
He rubbed his eyes, looked at the alarm clock beside the bed, then jumped out of bed and ran downstairs in his pajamas.
”Whoa!” A minute later, the little boy cheered and shouted in the living room on the first floor.
A few minutes later, he ran up the stairs happily, ran into his mother's room, and jumped on the bed
With a smile on her face, the mother in bed replied bleakly, ”ha ha It seems that you are a postman now, my little sugar fruit. ”
The little boy grinned, helped the postman's cap on his head, and saluted his mother: ”I'd like to help you!”
The mother reached out and pinched the child's face: ”OK, Mr. postman, go back to the room and put on your clothes, be careful of catching cold.”
”Yes! Madam. ” The little boy answered loudly and jumped out.
Looking at the back of the child leaving, a warm smile appeared on the mother's face.
But a few seconds later, she seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly darkened. And her eyes instinctively turned to the bedside table
There is a picture frame on the cabinet. The picture in the picture frame is not too old. In the picture, there are three people in the family - a handsome father, a beautiful mother and a lovely little boy.
”Mom, when will dad go home?” Two years ago at Christmas, the little boy asked his mother that.
But his mother just hugged him and cried, unable to say a word.
On the Christmas Eve of that year, the little boy's father rode his bicycle to the shopping center to buy a toy for the child after he got off work from the post office, but on his way back A car accident took his life.
From then on, only their mother and son remained in the family.
…………
”Put on your hat. Yes, that's it. ”
At 8:30 in the morning, after confirming that the son was dressed up, the mother took the little boy's hand and went out with him.
”Hi, Mr. Marvin. Good morning.”
”Merry Christmas, Mrs. Dave. Hey ~ look, whose little postman is this. ”
Their neighbor is an old black couple. They usually meet each other and say hello.
”Hello. Mr. field. ”
”Well? Oh... Hello, Mrs. Dave. ”
Fred, another neighbor, is a fat man. The whole block knows that he is a single house. Usually, people can only see him when he goes out to take out the garbage.
”Mother, why does Mr. field always look listless?” After walking out of the street, little Dave looked up and asked his mother.
”Because he stays out of the sun all day, eats junk food and doesn't do anything serious.” Mother replied.
”Doesn't he have to work?” Asked little Dave curiously.
”Mr. Fuld inherited a large fortune from a distant relative. So he doesn't have to work. ” Mother replied.
”Oh, he's such a lucky man, mom.” Said little Dave.
”Yes, he was very lucky...” Mother murmured. Then he stopped.
After thinking for a few seconds, she crouched down to make her eyes level with her son's, and said sternly, ”listen. Dave, you need to be like your father, a man who works hard. Don't envy a man like Mr. field. You have to understand Not everyone is so lucky. ”
”Well, I will, mom.” Little Dave nodded and answered with a kind of understanding.
…………
At nine o'clock in the morning, they came to the park in the town.
There are many adults sitting on the benches beside the children's Park, and some stalls selling snacks, drinks and toys have been put out.
Little Dave soon joined the other children and went to play.
And Mrs. Dave sat on the bench and chatted with other housewives.
Half an hour later, an old man came up to her and said, ”Hi, Wendy, long time no see.”
”Oh, Hello, director Nelson.”
”I have been there just now. When I saw you, I came to say hello. Merry Christmas, Wendy. ”
