"...Yes, it's Mommy." Lin Xinlan tried to make her voice sound normal, very cheerful. She asked with a smile, "Baby, are you home alone?"
"Mmm, Grandma went to sell vegetables. She told me to stay at home and not go out," Xiaocong said seriously, his tone revealing a precocity that didn't match his four years of age.
"Grandma went to sell vegetables? Is there no more money at home?" Lin Xinlan asked hurriedly. She had already told her mother not to sell vegetables anymore, that she would make money to support the family.
Mom hadn't sold vegetables for a long time, so why suddenly now?
Xiaocong fell silent for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "Mommy, Grandma got sick the other day, and we went to the hospital and stayed for many days. Grandma said not to tell you. I'm telling you in secret, okay? Don't let Grandma find out."
