She Knows She Was Wrong

Gu Zi turned her head to glance at her second child, noticing the toothpaste stain still lingering around his mouth. She gently wiped it off with a tissue, remarking, "You really love these fried dough sticks, don't you? Alright, I'll pack some for you."

With that, Gu Zi fetched two lunch boxes and filled them with the fried dough sticks, intending for her eldest and second child to take them for lunch. Anticipating that her second child might want to share some with his classmates, she purposefully packed an extra two for him.

Her second child, treated with such tender care by his mother, was grinning from ear to ear. After his mother handed him the lunch boxes, he took them, expressing his gratitude with a cheerful "Thanks, Mom!" before scampering off to the living room. His bashful demeanor brought laughter to both Gu Zi and Li Hua.
