Yongning suddenly realized that it seemed like everyone knew her parents—
Back then, she was just a little girl who liked to follow behind her parents and older brother, eating with her little hands and curiously sizing up the new world.
Every time they passed by, uncles, aunties, older brothers, and sisters would look at her mother with eyes full of hot tears and hearts filled with reverence.
She was still young and didn't know the word "reverence," but she could see that many people cried upon seeing her mother.
Then, they would pat her and her brother's hair and say with a sigh, "Xiangsheng and Yongning have both grown up so much!"
One time, she shook her head in confusion and asked, "Sister, do you know who I am?"
The sister smiled, squatted down, and spoke gently.
"You and your brother, we've watched you grow up."
"Your parents are heroes to all of us!"
Back then, little Yongning just nodded as if she understood, and continued to bite into her lollipop.
