I was about to go out to find Mama and Fang Tian when I heard Mama's voice:

"Walk slowly, walk slowly, don't fall."

I quickly walked up to them.

At the entrance of the courtyard, Mama was supporting Fang Tian, and both of them were walking very slowly.

Fang Tian was completely wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

I hurried over to support Fang Tian and noticed that he was trembling all over.

"What happened?"

Fang Tian looked at me, wanting to speak, but Mama stopped him:

"He accidentally fell into the pond. Fortunately, he grabbed the rope tied to the wine barrel I was carrying and climbed up. The several barrels of fruit wine sank to the bottom of the pond."

I quickly said, "As long as you're okay."

Mama and I supported Fang Tian on either side and helped him into the house.

That evening, Mama told me to rest and she would take care of Fang Tian.

How could I let Mama work? I insisted on taking care of Fang Tian myself.

"Li Ai, it was my fault that I asked Fang Tian to help me get the fruit wine. The blame is on me. If you don't let me take care of him, my heart won't be at ease."

Mama pleaded like this, and if I didn't agree, it would be unreasonable.

After Mama's careful care, two days later, Fang Tian returned to his lively self.

"Li Ai, Fang Tian said he wants to take me to the city to live with you all. Is it true?"

Mama said this with a smile in her eyes.

Mama's expression told me that she was willing to live with us in the city.

That's exactly what I wanted.

Which daughter doesn't want to be with her mother?

"Mama, of course it's true. Fang Tian mentioned it to me a long time ago. We really hope you can live with us. Mama, are you willing?"

Mama held my hand with one hand and Fang Tian's hand with the other:

"Mama has always dreamed of living with you all."
