Donât ask why I donât keep some for myself; itâs because I ate too many persimmons when I was a kid. Growing up, even if I see a persimmon tree on the road, Iâll just glance at it and never, like in my childhood, climb up the tree when no oneâs looking, pick a persimmon and run away.
After dividing the persimmons on the table into three portions, Mo Jingchun went to the kitchen to find three convenient bags that he bought for 5 cents each when shopping at the supermarket.
With the persimmons separated and packed, Mo Jingchun went to the bedroom window to take a look at the sky outside; it was still in the afternoon.
Mo Jingchun frowned, "Letâs wait until the rain stops before delivering them."
For the sake of the little ones and everyone else, Mo Jingchun thought there was no need to deliver the persimmons today. After all, persimmons are hardy, and they taste better when fully ripe.
"Ah~"
In the stroller, Mo Jingchun hadnât played with Candy for a long time. The little one was already feeling impatient. Her short little legs were dancing, declaring to Mo Jingchun that if he continued to ignore this cute little thing, sheâd start crying.
Mo Jingchun pinched his sister Candyâs pouty little cheeks and laughed out loud twice.
The little one is getting better at expressing her little emotions to others.
However, Mo Jingchun also noticed a problem recently: his sister Candy started to dislike the stroller, almost resisting it.
But when it comes to Mo Jingchun, the brotherâs warm embrace, the little one has an exclusive attachment to it. She wonât willingly leave the comfy and warm embrace unless Mo Jingchun puts her down himself.
As Mo Jingchun just reached out his hand, though he hadnât picked her up yet, the little oneâs short legs stopped jumping, and she grinned with an open mouth.
"You little one, ever since you were born, your brotherâs arm muscles have been growing daily." Mo Jingchun shook his head and smiled wryly.
"Geh geh."
Even though his sisterâs pronunciation was not standard, it couldnât prevent Mo Jingchun from liking it. Every time he heard her call "geh geh," he felt his heart melting.
"Haha, youâre also my beloved little treasure, baby."
Taking care of the little one is monotonous and boring, yet itâs also fun. Of course, that is if you have a sister as adorable and well-behaved as Candy.
The rain poured all day without stopping. Mo Jingchun only learned from the weather forecast that this autumn rain would stop around four to five in the morning the next day, after which the weather would change from heavy rain to mostly cloudy.
Throughout the day, Mo Jingchun and Candyâs daily life can be summed up as: eat, sleep, wake up and eat, play with the phone watching short videos after eating, and finally turn off the lights and enter dreamland together.
The next day, Mo Jingchun woke up naturally. When he woke up, he tilted his head to look at his sister, who hadnât woken up yet.
Picking up his phone, Mo Jingchun glanced at the time and twitched his mouth. What did he say before? Never rely on the "Candy" alarm clock, sure enough, the "Candy" alarm clock can be inaccurate due to weather and other reasons.
The little one slept until nine in the morning without showing any signs of waking up.
Usually woken by the alarm clock, Mo Jingchun, today, had a natural restful sleep. He felt exceptionally invigorated, sweeping away the accumulated fatigue of a week.
The curtains werenât open, but Mo Jingchun guessed that the rain outside should have stopped. Even if it hadnât stopped, it was probably only a drizzle, because it wasnât like yesterday when you could hear the pitter-patter of heavy rain outside while in the bedroom.
By almost ten oâclock, Mo Jingchun had already eaten breakfast and hand-washed a basin of the little oneâs clothes. As for his clothes, he just threw them into the washing machine.
Having finished everything, Mo Jingchun walked to the bedroom. The little one was still sleeping; that wonât do!
Isnât it time to force-start the machine?
"Candy? Candy?" While patting the little one, Mo Jingchun called her name by her ear.
Luckily, it seemed like the little one had almost finished sleeping, as Mo Jingchun only called twice and she groggily opened her eyes.
Changing the diaper, washing the little butt, and after putting on a new diaper, Mo Jingchun dressed his sister Candy in a new outfit and put a fluffy little hat on her.
After dressing Candy, Mo Jingchun sent a QQ message to Class President Yang Xiaoyu.
"Class President, whereâs your girlsâ dormitory, which building?"
Afterward, Mo Jingchun sent a picture of the persimmons.

"The persimmons from back home, have a taste."
In the girlsâ dormitory, Yang Xiaoyu was eating an apple leisurely and reading a book on the chair. When she heard her phone ring, she quickly picked it up to check.
No way around it, being the class president, she naturally had to reply to classmates at the first opportunity when time allowed.
"Huh?"
Seeing it was a message from Mo Jingchun, Yang Xiaoyu uttered a sound of surprise.
Upon seeing the picture of persimmons, Yang Xiaoyu took a big bite of her apple. As a girl, how could she refuse delicious food, and after all, Mo Jingchun implied these persimmons were special products from his hometown.
Without hesitation, Yang Xiaoyu directly sent the dormitory building number to Mo Jingchun and told him that Building 12 was right next to the Yue Residence cafeteria.
Meanwhile, practically receiving messages from Yang Xiaoyu and his senior sister at the same time, Mo Jingchun replied that he was ready to leave and would message upon arrival. Then he took two red convenient bags, carrying his sister Candy, and went out.
As soon as Mo Jingchun locked the door and turned around, he bumped into Professor Song Yunqing, who had just returned.
"Professor Song, youâre back."
"Hmm." Professor Song Yunqing, wearing reading glasses, nodded, "Are you taking your sister out? The weather is chilly these days, make sure to dress the kids warmly to keep them warm."
"Uh-huh, thank you for your concern, Professor Song."
Greeting a now familiar neighbor, Mo Jingchun naturally felt more at ease, unlike at the beginning when he wished he could just hide.
Professor Song Yunqing only took out his keys to open the door after seeing the elevator doors close.
He had already inquired with the Li Familyâs girl about Mo Jingchunâs situation. Upon learning about it, Professor Song Yunqing could only sigh at lifeâs unfairness.
The rope always breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune finds the unfortunate.
Hopefully, the two little ones can live peacefully and healthily in the future.
The 12th building is quite far from where Mo Jingchun lived, almost a five-minute walk.
The Jing Universityâs student dormitory buildings are usually two dormitory buildings connected, usually with girls on one side and boys on the other.
After reaching the dormitory entrance, Mo Jingchun didnât go inside.
Standing from afar outside the entrance, Mo Jingchun sent a QQ message to Class President Yang Xiaoyu.
"Class President, Iâm here, you can come down now."
In room 306 on the third floor, Yang Xiaoyu received Mo Jingchunâs QQ message, picked up a half box of strawberries from the table, and ran out wearing slippers.
"Whatâs up with that girl?"
"Why does she smile as if sheâs in love."
"Ew~" The three of Yang Xiaoyuâs roommates, imagining things by themselves, only felt their scalps tingle.
