The elementary school was named Chenglong Elementary, situated on the border between the urban area and the suburbs. Behind the school, there stretched a patch of farmland that formed a picturesque backdrop.

After leaving the bus station, Gu Zi walked for ten minutes before reaching the school. The school gate wasn’t extensive, roughly about the width of six thin individuals walking side by side.

Outside the gate, an elderly person was selling traditional ice pops, attracting a fair number of students.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she bought one of the ice pops to enjoy. They cost five cents each and tasted refreshingly sweet, devoid of any artificial flavoring—clean and crisp.

It held the taste of nostalgic memories, a sense of enduring happiness.

Finishing the ice pop, Gu Zi continued pushing her small cart forward. A few steps past the gate and she could almost see the entire school.

On the left stood noticeboards and a map wall displaying the national and world maps along with several posters.

Behind the noticeboards were two-story teaching buildings, with a standalone structure perpendicular to them designated for staff offices. Opposite stood a small shop and two table tennis tables made of side-by-side stone blocks.

Between the store and the teaching building lay the playground and the flag-raising platform, marked with white lines on the ground.

To the right lay a rather rudimentary 200 -meter track, with some outdoor climbing equipment along its edge and a row of lush mango trees.

It might have seemed quite basic, but in those times, the school’s facilities were already considered relatively good.

Today was the school’s activity day, with many parents and children relaxing under the shade of the mango trees. Gu Zi remembered Su Li mentioning that the snack sale was taking place there.

Pushing the cart, she attracted a lot of attention as several gazes followed her, some even tracking her movement from afar. Dressed in a pristine white blouse paired with an A-line long umbrella skirt, she wore a vivid red hat, radiating a bright and elegant charm, becoming the most striking figure among the parents.

Secret murmurs circulated, certain that she was someone’s older sister, not the mother – after all, where could such a beautiful mother exist?

Under a mango tree, Su Bing and Su Li had secured their spots, eagerly awaiting their mother’s arrival. However, they were besieged by several annoying students who had lingered there to watch the brothers’ humiliation.

“Why is your mom so late? Haha!” jeered the lead student.

“Must be some shady business going on at their place, making money and flaunting new clothes, new bags, and dining lavishly,” remarked another.

“Su Li even said his mom makes fruit preserves, hilarious! Such an expensive thing, could she make it casually?”

Laughter erupted among the students as Su Bing chose to ignore them. As long as they didn’t resort to violence, he wouldn’t engage with their taunts. Meanwhile, Su Li hoped that once their mother arrived, their mockery would cease.

As he thought about it, he lifted his gaze and indeed spotted the awaited figure approaching them. A gentle breeze whisked through the sunlight, causing the beautiful skirt to sway like a blossoming flower. Waving at them, she attracted the attention of the students who had mocked Su Bing. “Wow, where did this gorgeous lady come from?”

‘Maybe she’s an actress from TV? Did the school invite her?”

“She’s even pushing a bamboo cart! It feels like a scene from a fairy tale come to life.”

More and more students and parents began heading in their direction, instantly bolstering Su Li’s confidence.

Despite his small stature, he gently maneuvered past the students who had mocked them, asserting, “Move, you’re blocking my mom’s way!”

The students who had teased the Su brothers earlier were left agape — had a motherly angel fallen from the heavens for the Su brothers?

Others were equally astonished – these two motherless children suddenly had a mother, and she was the most beautiful one!
