Turn the Entire House Upside Down

The children noticed Qi Qingyao's poor mood over the past few days. Finally, Qi Qingyao sat in the study again, resting her cheeks in her hands deep in thought in the early morning of the next day after breakfast.

"Mommy~~" Xiaobao walked over to her and grabbed Qi Qingyao's arm worriedly. He asked in a childish voice, "Did something happen?" 

Dabao and Erniu also came over, looking at Qi Qingyao with worried expressions. 

"You guys…" 

Qi Qingyao gathered Xiaobao in one swoop and sat him on her leg. She then pulled over Dabao and Erniu. Caressing Dabao's head, she thought for a bit before saying, "While Mommy wants to say that you're all still too young, the reality is you're almost four now. You guys also know about birth and old age, sickness and death, and more so about love and hate and goodbyes, don't you?"
