Beautiful Mother

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.
