Only after I was reborn did I realize that I had green plums.

Chapter 497: Can I always be like a child (Ended with flowers!!!)
"Whoa, whoa!"

Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Zhixi arrived at the airport for the first time, their big eyes full of curiosity about new things.

"Is the plane really that big? It's really spectacular."

[Dear passengers, flight XA8230 from Pengcheng to Jiangcheng will start boarding in 10 minutes——]

"Okay, okay"

"Big plane! Charge rua!"

"Little Yuanbao! Don't run around! Stand in line and hold daddy's hand!"

"I know!"

Mei Xiaoyuan stopped running with a red backpack on her back, turned around and reached out to grab Mei Fang's big hand, while Mei Zhixi on the side patted her milky white beret, held her father's hand, and kept My own ladylikeness and elegance:
"Sister Yuanbao, if you continue to behave like this, we will leave you at the airport!"

"I'm so cute, dad can't bear to leave me here! Just a little bit -"

Mei Xiaoyuan stuck out her tongue and made a face at Mei Zhixi. Mei Zhixi puffed up her face angrily and looked at Mei Fang with her head raised:

"Dad, look at my sister! Not only is she disobedient, she's also being mean to me!"

"I was just making fun of you...not trying to hurt you."

Mei Fang adjusted Mei Zhixi's hat, then patted Mei Xiaoyuan on the head, "Don't run around outside. We made an appointment before going out."

"I'm sorry...Dad."

Mei Xiaoyuan's mind was always wandering, and then she raised her head and asked Mei Fang: "Dad, do I have a seat by the window?"

"Yes."

Mei Xiaoyuan jumped happily, "Then I want to sit by the window!"

"Then I want to sit with dad."

Mei Zhixi hugged Mei Fang and refused to let go.

"No, sister can't keep occupying daddy. Dad wants to sit with me this time. Let's watch the white clouds and blue sky by the window!"

"I don't care, I want to sit with dad -"

"Oh, you two are fine... Why are you quarreling so quickly? You are sisters. If you can't be like this, can't you learn from mothers? Do you think when did Mama Yuan and Mama Xi quarrel?"

Under Mei Fang's patient guidance, Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Zhixi slowly realized their mistakes, and then they held hands under Mei Fang's guidance, and the two reconciled.

When educating her daughter, Mei Fang never let her elder sister give way to her younger sister, and she never used threats to force the children to obey. She focused more on setting an example and guiding the children in such an equal environment. When you grow up, no one will think that your father is partial.

"Also, everyone has a window seat, so you don't have to fight to sit with me."

It's first class after all.

"Ah, I, do we want to sit alone?"

Mei Zhixi and Mei Xiaoyuan were both a little nervous when they heard this, while Mei Fang gently encouraged her daughters:

"It's okay, mom and dad are right behind you."

As they grew up, Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Zhixi showed clear differences. It must be said that their mother's genetic influence was quite large.

When taking off——

Mei Xiaoyuan: "Dududu, the big plane is about to take off!"

Mei Zhixi: "Oh...Dad, I'm afraid - hold my hand!"

In flight——

Mei Xiaoyuan: "Wow, what a beautiful sea of ​​clouds..."

Mei Zhixi: (lying on the window, immersed in the scenery alone)

When landing -

Mei Xiaoyuan: (Asleep)
Mei Zhixi: (Asleep)
call……

When the plane landed, looking at the children's peaceful and beautiful sleeping faces, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi smiled at each other, and then looked at the scenery outside the airport together.

"I'm back in Jiangcheng again."

"I haven't been back for many years at least, I'm counting-"

Xia Yuan clenched his fingers freely, and then was patted on the head by Lin Youxi who was standing beside him.

"Stop counting this and go help A Fang hold the baby."

"I know, I know."

The Mei family planned to stay in Jiangcheng for three days. They almost never came back together after graduating from high school. This big furnace-like city was as usual scorching every arriving traveler with super high temperatures.

After the driver arranged by the company came to pick them up, the Mei family took a short rest in a hotel in Jiangcheng. In the evening, they went to the First Affiliation of Jiangcheng Division together.

The place where Mei Fang Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi spent their high school years.

This time point was a monthly holiday, so when the afternoon passed, the school was open to the public. Mei Youyuan knew that the five people came at the right time.

"This is! The place where mom and dad used to study!"

Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Zhixi looked at the big brothers and sisters coming and going, and walked into the campus holding the hands of their parents.

"What a big school. It's many, many times bigger than our kindergarten!"

"Dad, dad, where did you study before?"

"This is..."

The family took a walk on the school playground, and then after the students were almost gone, Mei Fang took the family to the floor of the teaching building.

"This is the classroom where dad used to teach."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Mei Fang was holding Mei Xiaoyuan, and Lin Youxi was holding Mei Zhixi. The two children were looking at each other at the window, while Xia Yuan was holding her back and sighed:

"In the past, mothers would go downstairs to meet their fathers, and they would knock on this window, and then their fathers would come out."

"Where can parents go to play?"

"Well, I usually go for a walk in the square, but other than that -"

As Lin Youxi spoke, he suddenly patted Mei Fang on the shoulder.

"Okay, let's go play there, right?"

Mei Fang took her family to a small bamboo forest in the direction of the community building of Jiangcheng Normal University.

"What are we doing in the bamboo forest, mother Xi?"

Mei Xiaoyuan pulled Lin Youxi's hand curiously, while Mei Zhixi on the side opened her eyes and covered her mouth with a surprised expression:

"This, this isn't... a place where dad and mom go on a date, right?"

"Ah! Xiao Xixi, why are you so smart..."

Xia Yuan was sighing with emotion. He had only taken a few steps when he saw a blushing and heart-pounding scene. He immediately subconsciously covered Mei Zhixi's eyes.

At the same time, a student couple sitting on a bench in the bamboo forest stood up shyly when they heard the noise, and hurried past a family of five with their faces covered.

Mei Fang watched the young couple passing by and felt mixed emotions in her heart:
"It's over. This place is still regarded as a sacred place for lovers. I really set a bad example."

"What's the point? You are a legendary figure in the First Division of Jiangcheng Master..."

"Ah this."

Lin Youxi said as she suddenly looked at Xia Yuan with her hands behind her back, "Yuan Yuan? Let's discuss something -"

"No, no need to discuss!"

Xia Yuan blushed and stretched out five fingers to Lin Youxi, "Five minutes!"

"OK, I'll switch to you later."

Xia Yuan said and took the hands of Mei Zhixi and Mei Xiaoyuan. "Come, do you want to go to the bathroom? Mother Yuan will take you there."

Mei Xiaoyuan's eyes widened: "I, I don't have to do it! I don't want to pee - ah, mother Yuan, what are you doing!"

And Mei Zhixi has already seen through everything——

Xi's mother must want to be intimate with her father.

"I'll take you to buy ice cream!"

"elbow!"

So, Lin Youxi asked Mei Fang to sit on the bench, then sat on Mei Fang and gently touched Mei Fang's cheek:
"Afang, do you still remember when you made a public self-examination in front of everyone?"

"Of course I remember that..."

Mei Fang held Lin Youxi's hand tightly and put her close to her shoulder.

"Would it be a little hot to hold you like this?"

"No, it's just like this that makes you feel youthful."

Because when Xia Yuan was buying ice cream, he ran into some high school girls who wanted to take a photo with Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Zhixi, so he was delayed for 5 minutes.

Lin Youxi once again occupied Mei Fang for 10 minutes.

Of course, Lin Youxi will be responsible for taking care of the children later and make up for it.

I walked past the club building, the gymnasium, the art building, went to the stage where Mei Youyuan once performed at the art festival, came to the school history museum, and saw the young parents holding hands as they walked through the adult gate together. In the picture, Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Zhixi personally felt the imprint left by their parents on this school.

During the trip to Jiangcheng, Mei Youyuan knew that the five of them also went to Happy Valley. They rode a roller coaster together and scared his father so much that he screamed. They played in a haunted house together and made Yuan's mother shake her legs. Then they went to watch a popcorn movie together, which was a family fun. Went to eat the sweet and spicy Zhou Hei Ya.

Except for mother Lin Youxi, everyone in the family can eat spicy food. Youxi's mother just looked at everyone talking.

After the short trip to Jiangcheng, everyone returned to the familiar Baimei County. Then all the grandparents took turns meeting each other, having dinner and going out to play. Then Mei Fang also had a meal with the county leaders as usual. Understand the situation and plans of the county.

"Investment is allowed, but there is no need to engage in cultural construction of the former residence. We don't like to engage in that."

"Then, what about the Cultural Memorial Hall or something? I heard that the relationship between the three of them lasts forever. There must be a lot of memorable little things from a very young age, right?"

The leaders of the county feel that such a square is not attractive enough. It would be better if it was a little gimmick. "Ah! I remembered it, it really does exist!"

Xia Yuan on the side put down his chopsticks and exclaimed, "I have to go back to my hometown and look for it!"

"Don't be impatient yet, finish your meal!"

Baimei County is the hometown where Mei Youyuan was born and raised. The past 16 years have carried countless memories for the three people.

The three of them first went to Baimei County Experimental Middle School, where they went to junior high school together.

"Wow, junior high school feels much smaller than high school!" Mei Xiaoyuan felt very surprised. "The classrooms here are so small. They are not as big as our game room. Do we need to seat so many people?"

"It's a lot less now..."

Xia Yuan came to the classroom of Class 9, her eyes full of memories and nostalgia for the past.

"Xiao Yuanbao, this is the classroom where dad and mom Xi study. Mom is next door."

"Isn't mom in the same class as dad and mom?"

"Yeah, at that time...no."

"Speaking of which, the only time Yuan Mama and Xi's mother had a fight also happened at this time."

"Ah, will Mama Yuan and Mama Xi quarrel?"

Mei Xiaoyuan said in surprise, "How much did Mama Yuan do to make Mama Xi angry?"

"The premise is that I make my mother angry!"

Xia Yuan knocked on Mei Xiaoyuan's head, and Lin Youxi said softly, "It was the other way around that time. I made Yuan's mother angry."

"Wow, Mommy Xi is so gentle..."

Mei Xiaoyuan pretended to cry from the side, while Mei Zhixi asked curiously from the side, "Has Mommy been naughty before?"

"If you were naughty and mischievous, it was already a long time ago..."

Baimei County Experimental Middle School and Baimei County Experimental Primary School can still be visited, but the grain kindergarten where the three of them stayed together has now been rebuilt into a community over the years.

After visiting the school where their parents lived, the group returned to Xia Yuan's old house.

This used to be one of the most prosperous residential areas in Baimei County, and it still looks like a very impressive and elegant house.

"Is this the place where mom used to live? Wow, it's so big."

Mei Xiaoyuan said in surprise, "It's almost half the size of our home in Pengcheng!"

"That's your grandpa after all."

Mei Fang smiled and said, "Grandpa Yuan used to be one of the top bosses in Baimei County, a very powerful rich man!"

"what about now?"

Mei Xiaoyuan tilted her head curiously and asked her father.

"Well...I think about it."

Mei Fang scratched his head, then said with a smile: "If you don't count your parents, he should be the richest man in Baimei County!"

"Ah! Grandpa Yuan is so awesome!"

Mei Xiaoyuan applauded.

Dad is also very powerful, okay...

"Hey...I found it!"

In the old house that was about to be demolished and rebuilt, Xia Yuan found his most precious memory iron box.

Everyone gathered around curiously and watched Xia Yuan open the iron box.

"Ah, what a cute cerebellar ax doll. Is there sand inside?"

"Yes! This is a kindergarten graduation gift from mom Yuan to dad."

Xia Yuan put her hands on her hips proudly, while Mei Zhixi curiously picked up a small metal cube.

"Mom Xi, what is this?"

"This is an mp3, for reading novels and listening to music."

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "This is my father's birthday gift to my mother."

"what about this?"

"This is a poem that Dad wrote to Mom Yuan and Mom Xi."

Mei Fang said softly, "Later, these became the songs of Yuan's mother when she was an idol singer."

"Why do all these things exist here, Mother Yuan!"

"Because, because it was Mama Yuan who... collected it."

"Then...what's in this CD?"

Mei Zhixi asked curiously.

"Ahhhhhh-that's-that's a slide that you can't touch!"

Xia Yuan struggled to grab the CD, but Lin Youxi snatched it away and handed it to Mei Fang:

"Can it be broadcast? If it can be broadcast, give it a try...can you see six-year-old Yuan's mother's confession to her father?"

Mei Xiaoyuan raised her hands, "Oh, Zundu is fake! I want to see, I want to see!"

"Instead of looking at that, let's take a look at this photo album first! You can see the sloppy mother? There are also other people's photos."

"Tsk, is this grandpa? Grandpa had a lot of hair at that time!"

"Grandma is so beautiful," Mei Zhixi sighed.

"Haha, this is Aunt Xiaoya, why is she younger than me?"

"Wow, Mom Xi looked like a boy when she was little!"

"Who is this? Is it dad?"

Mei Zhixi pursed her lips and nodded, "Sure enough, my father was very handsome when he was a child. No wonder my mother Xi and mother Yuan liked him..."

"Yes! He's very handsome." Lin Youxi said softly, "But don't look at dad like this, he was a bedwetter when he was a child."

"Youxi! Stop talking about that matter, you--"

Mei Xiaoyuan immediately put her hands on her hips proudly, "So that's it! I've found the reason why I still wet the bed! It turns out it's because of my father! Hahahaha!"

"You are still very proud, aren't you, little Yuanbao!"

Mei Fang knocked on Mei Xiaoyuan's head.

In this way, relying on recalling items one by one, Mei Youyuan met a family of five and spent leisurely and fulfilling years.

And in a place that cannot be recalled, there are still many objects that can evoke youthful beauty——

For example, Lin Youxi’s class notes are filled with strokes;

For example, Xia Yuan’s lyric book is filled with stickers;

For example, the bicycle Mei Fang rode;
The warm baby that Xia Yuan loves to wear in winter;

The roller skates Lin Youxi wore for the first time;
The family photo Xia Yuan took with him when he ran away from home;

A horror movie CD that Mei Fang once rented in an alley;

Lin Youxi saved money to buy an electric car for her father;

The standing mirror that Xia Yuan has been wearing since childhood;

Mei Fang’s Giant of Light Tiga school bag;
The hairpin that Lin Youxi once lost and found again;
Xia Yuan collected the ten-dollar IOU written by Mei Fang (although it has been cashed);
A magnifying glass showing off the butt of the webmaster of Station C;
Even the little fat man who was once slapped by Mei Fang in the amusement park is now getting married——

Mei Fang found the folk guitar she had used when she first dreamed of music at Xia Yuan's house, tuned it and began to play the melody.

"Not bad...it seems to still work. This is a rare opportunity. Do you want to sing a song to celebrate?"

"Dad, please." Xia Yuan patted Mei Fang on the shoulder.

"Then... let's use the song newly composed by Yuan's mother."

Xia Yuan, Lin Youxi, Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Zhixi followed Mei Fang's melody and swayed gently together, reciting light songs——

Will there ever come a day?

I want to say goodbye to my home

Wearing neat and old-fashioned clothes

Talking in a roundabout way
Is there always a way?

Belongs to the truest you
It’s not necessarily the safest or best way to go
Some people hold their heads high

Can you always be like a child?

What's wrong with this
Even if I don’t understand the world they talk about

You can also live happily
Can you always be like a child?

What's wrong with this?
Maybe I'm used to falling all the time

Also learn to get up and run
la la la...

la la la...

While the family was immersed in singing, a light pink paper crane and a light blue paper crane leaned quietly against the window of the hut.

They seemed to gradually stand up under the influence of the song, flapping their wings gently, flying together, emitting bursts of light, and then slowly dissipating with the shimmering light spots.

There seems to be a tender and innocent child's voice mixed in between the beautiful songs——

"Pull the hook~ Hang yourself~ 100 years~ Don't change!"

——(End of the book)
　The last song is the song of the same name, "Can I Always Be Like a Child?" You can listen to it, it sounds great!
