Chapter 431 - Little Huarui Didn’t See Anything (2/2)
Xiao Bing smiled, “I dare. But you are too young for it. You should be at least 12 years old if you want to ride the roller coaster. It’s not suitable for children.”
“Fine.” Liu Xiaorui pouted, but soon the smile appeared on her face once again. “Then Brother Bing can accompany me to play on something else”
“How about the sky wheel?”
“Of course!”
Liu Xiaorui was smiling all the time she was with Xiao Bing and Yezi, both of them holding her hands, one on each side She walked jauntily.
“Brother, will you hang out with me often?”
“I will. As long as you are good and stay happy each day, I will always bring you out and play with you.”
When they queued for the sky wheel, there was an old lady and a little girl in front of them. The little girl was her granddaughter. The old lady looked back at them and asked smilingly, “What’s your relationship with this girl?”
Liu Xiaorui answered first, “My brother and sister-in-law brought me here to play.”
“I see.” The granny sighed, “Now there are few brothers and sisters-in-law, who are as good as both of you. Even some parents seldom hang out with their kids, giving the excuse that they are too busy working.
Liu Xiaorui seemed happy and proud. After her mother was gone, her brother and sister-in-law were the pride of her life.
Xiao Bing said, “Granny, nowadays, many people don’t know that the most important thing in this world is not money. It’s the loved ones around them.
The old lady nodded with a smile. She stared at Xiao Bing and sighed, “Few young men are like that now. How rare it is…”
Xiao Bing asked, “Granny, is this your granddaughter?”
“Yes.” The old lady looked at the girl dotingly. “My son holds the opposite view. He deems his career is more important than anything else. He seldom plays with this girl. But I’m willing to do it. So I asked them to send the kid to me.”
Xiao Bing asked, “Is her dad a business man?”
“He’s not. But he seems a lot busier than most businessmen. Never mind. We should try and understand him. After all, he works for the people.”
The old lady’s complaints seemed to mitigate after she said this, and she did not seem to want to continue the topic. So Xiao Bing stopped asking.
The little girl looked up and said, “Grandma, please don’t say anything more. Dad said that he is working for the country and the people in it, so he cannot be here with me. We should try and understand him.”
“You are a good girl.” The old lady stroked her granddaughter’s head lovingly.
A smile touched Xiao Bing’s lips. It seemed that her son was a public servant, which was a profession highly respected by people. Sometimes they had to choose the country over their family. Xiao Bing was well aware of this.
The old lady was very impressed by Xiao Bing. Maybe it was because of what Xiao Bing had just said. So she prattled on when they were in the queue. Liu Xiaorui found that she and that girl shared the same interests. Xiao Bing asked and found that they were both six and a half years old. Noticing how the girls got along so well, Xiao Bing invited the old lady and the little girl to his mansion. In this way the two girls could play with each other.
Xiao Bing also felt that this old lady was not like any ordinary grandmother, from her demeanor. He supposed she was once quite a strong woman when she was young. Few women of her age had such wisdom. She had good manners and there was a sense of nobility to it,
They exchanged addresses, and then they parted company, when it was the old lady and her granddaughter’s turn.
After they went into the sky wheel, Yezi said that the old lady was interesting. In Yezi’s eyes, she did not seem to be the usual type of old person from her era.
Xiao Bing looked through the window of the rising cabin and sighed, “I believe that her son is not merely an ordinary public servant.”
“But… I’m not interested in it. I’m only interested in the beauty in my arms.” There was a hint of a smile in Xiao Bing’s eyes, as he held Yezi close.
Liu Xiaorui covered her eyes with her hands, but the gap between her fingers was quite big. “I did not see anything! I did not see anything!”
Yezi blushed and Xiao Bing guffawed.
