The two finally hung all the laundry after they were done washing. It concluded their day's work.
In the tiny kitchen, Rainy grabbed onto Xia Ruoxin's clothes, without leaving a step.
"Hungry?" Xia Ruoxin turned around and asked her daughter tenderly.
Rainy smiled shyly and hugged Xia Ruoxin's thigh tightly with both her hands. "Yes, Mommy. Rainy is a bit hungry, just a bit."
She stressed on the 'bit' part when in reality, she was famished.
Xia Ruoxin turned back. She did not know why her eyes started tearing, and she almost cried. She was already trying very hard, but there was still a limit as to what she could give her daughter. She could not afford nice clothing to wear or delicious food. At times, she even had to starve with her.
"Mommy." Rainy hugged her thigh tight and rubbed her cheek against it.
"Mommy, Rainy loves Mommy. Very much."
