24 Theres Nothing You Can Do About It 2 (1/2)

”…” Peach's mother looked helplessly at her daughter. Sigh… They are both children. Why are they so different? Occasionally, when they had nothing on, Peach would help her mother to wrap dumplings, but the dumplings would always look rather ugly. Chenchen had never even wrapped a single dumpling before but the moment he attempted it, he was able to wrap a perfect dumpling.

On second thoughts, Peach was only six years old, two years younger than Chenchen, it was good enough that she was able to wrap dumplings albeit crooked ones. Thinking of it this way, Peach's mother felt more relieved.

With Shen Mochen's help, the dumplings were wrapped exceptionally quickly. In a short period of time, the bamboo tray was already full of dumplings.

Satisfied, Peach's mother went to cook the dumplings, leaving Peach and Shen Mochen alone in the room, staring at each other .

”Umm… Husband, are you still angry?” Peach examined Shen Mochen carefully and pondered over her options for a long time, before deciding to break the silence.

”Humph.” Shen Mochen glanced at her before picking his book up off of the table. He then continued reading seriously from where he had left off.

Her attempt to pacify him had failed once again.

Frustrated, she scratched her head. Peach hopped off from the chair and went into the kitchen to help her mother.

After dinner, Peach's mother bathed both children. She then laid another quilt on Peach's bed, and urged both of them to go to bed quickly.

”Kids, you should sleep early and get up early!” Peach's mother stood at the door of Peach's room with her hands on her hips, educating them seriously. After which, she headed back to her room to watch her television programme.

Peach and Shen Mochen sat on the bed with their individual quilts, facing each other.
