Capítulo 9: Curious to know how her father looked?

Li Xue brought her daughter to the nearest ice cream parlor. She still has to discuss the decision she has made for her. Though she knew her daughter wanted to have a change in environment, she also knew previously it was only for travelling to a new place for a vacation.

Li Wei has always been attached to the people around her, especially Bojing. She has always treated him as an older brother and was used to spending her evening playing with him.

So the decision of shifting from one place to another was something that should be discussed with her too. It was going to affect her greatly because both the place and people around here were going to change.

Li Wei was waiting excitedly for her mother to come. Ice cream was her second best favorite among her five favorite things, she considered in her life.

Without any doubt, the first was her mother, second was chocolate ice cream, third was the Desserts cooked by her mother, fourth was Mr. Bunny Bear, which she got on her fourth birthday and fifth was caramel chocolates.

"Here you got your chocolate ice cream with white chocolate syrup., your favorite", Li Xue said as she presented a small scoop serving of ice cream in front of her daughter. She was very particular of what her daughter was eating.

Though she wasn't going to stop her from having sweets as she knew children love sweets but she can always lower the quantity of the things her daughter was having. That way it won't be affecting her health badly.

The little girl's eyes shone brightly when she looked at her favorite flavor of ice cream. "Thank You, Mama!", she expressed her polite gratefulness and then picked up her small spoon to have her ice cream. The thank you wasn't needed but still she was taught to show her gratefulness for everything she receives.

Li Xue looked at her daughter for some time and then began, "Baby, Mama was thinking something. In the morning you were talking about going to Jingling City, for a holiday. Do you really want to go there?"

The little girl who was busy having her ice cream and had focused all her attention on it, when she heard her mother's words. She plainly lifted her head up to look at her, blinked her eye in her own usual adorable way, "Of course Mama! I want to go there. I have heard from my friends that the city is really big with many zoos and parks. I want to go there but it's okay we can go there later. I know you have work here"

Li Wei has always been very understanding to her mother. She knew her mother had to work hard every day. So she never gave any hard time to her mother being stubborn about anything she wanted. She knew she would get it the moment her mother finds it important for her.

"And what if I tell you that we can go there to live. Will you become upset?", she asked again, measuring the changing expression on her daughters face.

"Mama are we going to live there?" the little girl asked, keeping her curious eyes fixed on her mother.

"Umm yes. I got a transfer and promotion there. So if you want we can move there.", Li Xue informed her daughter.

She didn't want to go back to the same city that has given her the worst nightmares of her life but what the manager of the restaurant said before was also true. She can't be an example of cowardice for her daughter.

If she can give her daughter the best future only after fighting with her nightmares, then she will do that. She will let her daughter learn the lesson of fighting with her worst dreams to come out stronger than before.

"Promotion and transfer? What does that mean, Mama?" These two words were something the little girl was not familiar with. So before answering her mother she needs to get to know these two terms better. She can't choose something wrong for her mother.

"Baby, promotion is the same as you have in your schools. When you pass one class with good numbers as a reward you are promoted to a higher class. Same goes for Mama too. She has been promoted to become a head dessert chef of a bigger restaurant. But that big restaurant is not in this city, so at the same time they have asked me to go to a different city. That's called transfer", Li Xue explained everything patiently.

The little girl pondered for some time, rubbing her chin. Thinking the words very carefully. The expression she was holding on her face was making people around them stare at her with gentle eyes.

Her perfect small round face and deep thoughtful grey eyes were making people admire her as a little angel. She was really cute. When their eyes moved to look at the person whom the little girl had called 'Mama' before they really felt that God had really been biased.

Not only the little girl looked like a small angel descended from heaven but also her mother was no less than the heavenly beauty that God has created to present a masterpiece.

Some of them even became curious thinking if the mother – daughter duo was this admirable then the man this family will be having as the little girl's father will be no lesser. One look at the little girl and it was clear, she had taken the beauty of her mother but it was some other charm she was holding inside her genes. It was definitely the charm of her father, she has taken after.

After thinking quite some time, the little girl answered, "Mama, we should go there soon. This is your reward that you have got for your hard work. We should not miss it. We have to go there and have to find a more beautiful house than we have here. And I will take my Mr. Bunny Bear too"

"Let me finish my ice cream first then we can leave fast and start our packing", Li Wei said and then resumed eating her ice cream which was now on the verge of melting.

Li Xue smiled looking how understanding her daughter was! She was really happy and blessed to have this beautiful angel in her life.
