I shook my head. "I can't go on a business trip. Munchkin will be all alone at home. He'll get scared.I can't go away."

He held his forehead and laughed, saying, "I've taken this into consideration. You know that we'rejust a branch store, so there's no need to go on business trips at all. However, the head office willassign tasks a t certain times requesting each store to send a few employees to go on a businesstrip. Zenon is just a small county, so you won't need to go on business trips as often and there won'tbe much work to do, so one employee will do. Most importantly, you'll get paid for the businesstrips."

I was stunned and a little tempted. "How much is the salary?”

"8,000." After a pause, he said, "It’s a waste of talent for a prestigious university graduate like you tobe a waitress. Besides, Munchkin is slowly growing up and your spending will increase. Your salaryas a waitress won't be enough.”

It was true. Although I had some savings, I would need to have more money in order to give thechild a better life. Besides, he was already four years old. Most children were starting to develophobbies at this age.

The other day, I was thinking about enrolling Munchkin in a drawing class. I learned from otherparents in the past two days that although Zenon was a small county, the tuition fees for hobbyclasses were not cheap.

After thinking about it, I looked at him and asked, "Are you sure there’s extra pay?"

He nodded. "I can assure you."

I smiled. "Thanks a lot, then."

"You're welcome. But your thanks isn't going to be enough. You need to buy me a meal someday,"Fred said with a smile.

"Sure."

When the kindergarten gate opened, the teachers brought the children out class by class. Munchkinand Pumpkin were in the same class.

When the two children saw us, their faces broke out in bright smiles.

Munchkin looked at me and shouted, "Mommy!"

After a pause, he looked up at his teacher and said, "M s. Tilly, Pumpkin's and my parents are here.We're leaving now, goodbye."

Having said that, Munchkin grabbed Pumpkin’s hand and ran toward us.

After hugging my legs, Munchkin said in a childish voice, "Mommy, I invited Pumpkin over fordinner. We

both praised your cooking."

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't embarrass me, okay?"

I was helplessly amused. I looked at Pumpkin and said, "Tina, do you want to come over to ourplace and have dinner together?"

Tina was a reticent and introverted girl. She clenched Fred's fingers tightly and raised her head tolook at m e, muttering, "Thank you, Miss Lane.”

“Let's go, then!"

Back in the yard, Munchkin and Pumpkin went picking vegetables. Fred went to buy some fish aftersending us back and would probably take a while before he would come back.

I went to the kitchen to rinse the vegetables and prepared to cook up a storm.

My days went by like this. In these three years, I basically did all the cooking myself in order to keepMunchkin healthy. I would cook different foods for him to try.

After a long time, I managed to brush up on my culinary skills. After rinsing the vegetables,Munchkin and Pumpkin had come back after picking some vegetables.

The two children were carrying a small basket each. Pumpkin's basket was stuffed to the brim andeven the vegetables were about to fall out.

There were two cucumbers in Munchkin's basket. It seemed like he had picked them up whilefollowing behind Pumpkin.

"We're back, Mommy." Munchkin carried the basket, his face stained with mud.

When I saw sweat covering Pumpkin's face, I quickly took the basket and wiped the sweat from herforehead, saying helplessly, “Give Munchkin some of the veggies next time. Don’t carry all of italone!"

Pumpkin laughed and looked at Munchkin, saying in a childish voice, "I'm way stronger than him."
