"Madam’s idea is great, going out for a walk is a good thing, I’m sure the Grand Dowager will also be very happy." Nanny Cen replied with a smile. Xiqiu nodded and her gaze fell on Zhi running wildly on the ground again, and she asked Nanny Cen, "Is Min’s courtyard ready?"

"Nanny Rong is leading people to tidy it up, within these two days he’ll be able to move in."

Upon hearing this, Xiqiu nodded and said, "It’s a big event to choose a day to move!" She then asked if Min would like to invite some children over so they could celebrate together. After all, it’s a housewarming party.

Nanny Cen agreed, "This servant will go back and check the almanac to see which day is suitable!" Xiqiu nodded slightly, and Zhi waved at her in the distance, "Mom, over here, mom!"

"Coming!" Xiqiu placed the teacup into Nanny Cen’s hands and lifted her skirt as she walked over to Zhi. The warm sunlight shone on her, leaving a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, yet she felt refreshed, and ran over with small steps. Zhi said with a smile, "Mom, look how high my parrot is flying."

Xiqiu shielded her forehead with her hand and watched the kite chase in the wind. In the blue sky, only a white dot remained, with a bit of ink-like appearance, indeed it was flying high, she praised with a smile, "Zhi, you are amazing, you managed to fly the kite so high!"

Zhi stopped his actions, tilted his head, squinted, and watched the kite flying in the sky. In a childish voice, he asked, "Mom, I also want to be like the kite, flying so high, so high..."

"Alright." Xiqiu squatted beside him, holding his small body with one hand, "But, you have to wait until you grow up, until you have the ability to protect yourself, the ability to fly that high, then you can fly, okay?"

Zhi withdrew his gaze, seemingly understanding, he looked at Xiqiu who was also smiling at him. He grinned widely and nodded heavily, saying, "I want to fly with mom!"

Xiqiu laughed heartily, hugged her son, and kissed him twice, "Okay!"

Zhi giggled, his voice clear, and he pulled the string along with Xiqiu’s hand, "Mom, let’s run together and let it fly even higher!" Xiqiu responded and was led by Zhi, running all the way through the dirt and shrubs...

Suddenly, her foot snagged, and she collapsed onto the ground with her knees, about to fall completely... just at this moment, Zhi swiftly dropped the spool in his hand and lunged into Xiqiu’s arms, trying to support her... how could his small body support Xiqiu, and as a result, mother and son rolled onto the ground together amidst everyone’s stunned, fearful stares.

Xiqiu rolled over and protected Zhi in her chest while she herself rolled on the ground twice.

"Madam, Madam!" Chunliu, Bihuai, and ten or so others came rushing over.

Xiqiu was also anxious as she looked at Zhi, who was lying on her chest, wide-eyed, "Did you hurt anywhere, does anything hurt?"

Zhi didn’t care at all whether he was hurt or not, a smile gradually appeared on his face, he laughed lightheartedly, "Mom, you even know how to fall..." He laughed, lying on Xiqiu’s chest, gasping for breath between his laughter.

Xiqiu touched him left and right to confirm he was really fine, then heaved a sigh of relief, afterward Chunliu and others helped her sit up. Xiqiu held Zhi in her arms, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Zhi who was still laughing happily, "Is it really that funny?"

Upon her question, Zhi laughed even more joyfully, "Yes, it’s really funny!" He had never seen mom take such a big fall.

Nanny Cen and the maid beside her, observing Zhi like this, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn’t help but secretly laugh. Xiqiu pursed her lips smiling yet frowned, "Hmm? You were just laughing at mom!" Saying this, she tickled his armpit, Zhi froze, then twisted into Xiqiu’s embrace and couldn’t stop laughing, intermittently saying, "Mom looked really funny just now."

"You still dare to laugh!"

The mother and son lay in the shrubs, Zhi rolled off Xiqiu, then rolled through the grass all the way out... Qingshan and Qingyuan saw this and came to pull him, Zhi’s eyes moved, he hooked Qingshan’s foot making him fall on his butt, several children along with Xiqiu laughed together.

Chunliu and Bihuai helped Xiqiu up, Nanny Cen took a handkerchief to wipe the mud off Xiqiu’s skirt, smiling as she said, "Madam is just like a child!" But her tone was full of indulgence.

"It’s rare to be a little rowdy!" Xiqiu couldn’t hold back her smile in the corners of her eyes, as she turned around and said to Nanny Cen, "You mustn’t tell Fourth Master, lest he worries."

Nanny Cen agreed.

Zhi played for a while and got up from the ground, then remembered that he had lost his spool of thread, "Where’s the kite, where’s the kite?" He searched all around, but there was no kite in the sky.

"Over there." Qingyuan ran to the nearby camellia bushes but only managed to find the spool of thread, the string had snapped and the kite had long flown away... Zhi’s expression darkened and he said with disappointment, "My kite flew away?"

Xiqiu saw him like this, immediately walked over, took a handkerchief and wiped his face while coaxing him, "We will make another one identical to this when we get back, okay?" Saying this, she pointed at the Qing River, "Let’s go fishing, didn’t you bring a fishing rod?"

"Alright." Zhi forced back the tears welling up in his eyes, nodded somewhat reluctantly, then reluctantly lifted his head to look at the sky, expecting the kite to appear again within his sight.

Xiqiu held his hand and walked towards the dock by the Qing River. As they walked, she said, "When we return, I’ll help you make another one, even more beautiful than this one!"

Zhi nodded, still with a dejected expression.

"Bro, let’s go dig nightcrawlers, otherwise we won’t have anything to bait the fish later. You love digging nightcrawlers the most!" Qingshan’s eyes shifted and he walked over, Zhi’s expression moved, Qingyuan knew he was persuaded, then coaxed him, "Let’s go, let’s go, let’s dig lots, we can catch lots of fish today, in the evening we’ll set up a campfire in the yard and roast the fish for you to eat."

"Roast fish?" Zhi suddenly became energized, "How do you roast it?"

Qingshan showed a proud look, explaining, "One time when we went to the village to collect rent with dad, we couldn’t find an inn in the evening, so we camped outside, then dad caught fish from the river and roasted them for us. It tasted so good, much better than boiled fish or braised fish!"

Zhi swallowed his saliva, then glanced at Xiqiu, who smiled and nodded slightly, "Then you quickly go dig nightcrawlers, once you catch the fish, listen to Qingshan and set up a campfire in the yard to roast the fish in the evening."

The sense of loss from the kite was instantly replaced by the fresh joy brought by roasted fish, Zhi leapt with joy and ran off with Qingshan and Qingyuan.

"You go follow them, but be careful not to let the shovel hurt them." Xiqiu instructed Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou nodded, she and Wenyu followed them.
