Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

"Hammer, please help me get a bag of red bean bread." The morning rush hour has passed, and there are no other customers in the bakery at this time.

Hammer skillfully took out a bag of bread from the shelf, and Mrs. Helene, who was sitting next to him, asked:

"Little Ecilia, it's almost noon, haven't you eaten yet?"

She responded with a smile:

"Mrs. Helene, I didn't feel hungry in the morning. Maybe I ate too much last night."

She transferred the money to Hammer, munching on the bread while fiddling with her own smart network.

Intelligent Internet is a daily necessity that almost everyone in Ward Continent has. It undertakes various functions such as shopping, payment, inquiry, entertainment, etc. in today's era. It is a product of the combination of magic and technology. It is also a joint effort of several major magic academies with the support of governments of various countries. A masterpiece launched.

Everyone's wealth, ID number, and smart network account are all bound to each other. Her smart network has been kept by Mrs. Helene before, just to prevent the Kralls from depriving her of the few money they have by getting her smart network. accumulation.

After booking the airship ticket for six o'clock tonight, Aecilia stood up, walked over to the gray-haired Mrs. Helene who was dozing, and whispered:

"Mrs. Helene, I'm leaving tonight."

The old man woke up with a start, and she looked at Aecilia worriedly:

"What's wrong, Aecilia? I remember it's not the start time of your school yet..."

Aecilia explained her situation to Hammer and Mrs. Helene. Mrs. Helene looked at the girl's face with her cloudy eyes and said "Alas".

"...You must take care of yourself."

She controlled the wheelchair and turned around, and took out a blue denim backpack from a drawer under a shelf. There were dense stitches on it. There was a milk bottle sewn on the front of the backpack, and there was a heart sewn with red thread inside.

"Take this with you. Mrs. Helene knew little Aecilia would leave home early, so she sewed this bag very early. This material is the strongest, and I made it bigger so it can hold a lot. Things. There are some things your mother left with me. I have never dared to give them to you for fear that you would be too sad. However, I think she hopes to be with you on the road. "

Mrs. Helene finished these words with her head lowered, her eyes still not leaving the backpack in her hand. Finally, she picked it up with her folded hands and handed it to Aecilia.

Aecilia took the backpack silently.

Mrs. Helene put her hand on Ethelia's cheek.

"My girl... you are so much like your naughty mother. I have to repeat to you what I told her before: no matter what you do in the future, Mrs. Hailin will support you unconditionally, even if Mrs. Hailin Too old to walk will also make the obedient young Hamer wave my crutch to your enemies. Aecilia, you can forget Claure and the fire, but don’t forget that you have roots, a past and In the future, your parents will love you and Mrs. Helene and Hammer will always support you. When you encounter difficulties and want to give up, think about what we will say to you. You are not alone, my child. "

The surname of the family who owns Green's Bakery is Green, but they actually have no blood relationship with Aecilia's parents. Green is just a common surname. In the general school she attended, the same surname was There will be several Greens in the class. But sometimes fate is so wonderful, it will transform some ordinary things into something extremely special and great for a specific person.

Ethelia was blessed with this wonder after her parents died in a fire.

"Hammer, take a lunch break early. I have to make another lunch for Ecilia. The time is too late and I can't wait until evening. Ecilia, don't eat your bread!"

Mrs. Helene twisted her wheelchair and set off to the kitchen. Hammer hurriedly closed the store door and rushed back to look after Mrs. Helene. The moment his eyes met with Ethelia's, the two of them clearly saw the look in each other's eyes. have no choice.

Mrs. Helene is so old that she can hardly hold a fork.

But neither Hammer nor Aecilia dared to say "no" to this persistent old lady. Hammer's father has been expanding his business abroad all year round and is relatively well-known in the bakery industry. He did not dare to speak loudly to Mrs. Helene when he returned home. It is said that when she was seventy years old, she could still swing her bamboo stick and spank the little Hammer who deliberately scored zero in the exam.

Although Mrs. Helene is already in her nineties this year, with the help of Hammer and Aecilia's worried eyes and their hands that could not help but stretch out from time to time, she finally completed the lunch.

"White omelette, little Aecilia's favorite."

muttered Mrs. Helene.

"And frozen yogurt." Hammer smiled and took out a bottle of yogurt from the freezer.

"It was delivered this morning, specially reserved for you."

From the appearance, this bottle of yogurt is one of the products of Sancho Company. The Hammer family orders milk from this company every day. Compared with May's sweet milk, the only difference is the color of the wrapping paper. Sweet milk is pink and yogurt is blue. It's just that Mei likes sweet milk. The few times she secretly drank it with Mei's help, it was naturally sweet milk. Yogurt could only be drunk at Green's Bakery.

When her parents were still alive, she also liked to drink the ordered yogurt, two bottles a day, one at noon and one at night, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep. When she was taken to Klauer's house later, she suffered from insomnia several times. Under the pressure of her studies and part-time work, she finally tried to force herself to fall asleep.

She has always had a dream to order yogurt again after becoming financially independent, and increase it from two bottles a day to three bottles a day. Because she had fantasized about drinking iced yogurt in the morning countless times, and it must have felt great.

The three of them talked about old memories and some recent news at the small dining table. Afterwards, Ethelia cleared the table, filled the water and prepared to wash the dishes. Hammer pushed Mrs. Helene under the window sill to bask in the sun. Hammer, who came back, also picked up the dishcloth and whispered in her ear:

"When you arrive, remember to send me a message and take more photos. Mrs. Helene will definitely want to see them, especially those from the college - if you pass the exam, tell us as soon as possible. But don't worry too much, even if you don't pass the exam , you can also come back and learn to bake bread with me. I will definitely teach you my special skills. Don’t worry, just think of it as going to gain experience. My father also likes to go everywhere to gain experience. Your surname is also Green, said Maybe it’s the same as him…”

Hammer kept nagging for a long time before he was willing to let her go.

He glanced at Mrs. Helene, who was already asleep in the sun, and walked back to the store. Aecilia followed him tacitly. At this time, the lights in the store were turned off and the curtains were closed, making it look a bit dark.

Hammer walked to the shelf and stood on tiptoe to reach for the items above. The breeze fluttered the curtains, and a few rays of sunshine at noon quietly slipped in and shone on Hammer's curly brown hair.

"Here, here's this for you." Lying in Hammer's palm was a silver coin that was larger and older than the ones he usually saw, with a portrait of a bearded old man painted on it.

"The year you were born, the Kingdom of Aaron held a grand Andrew Commemorative Holy Scripture. This was the Andrew commemorative coin worth ten silver coins issued at that time."

Aecilia's eyes suddenly lit up.

Aecilia returned to the kitchen, kissed Helene's forehead gently, turned around again, and hugged Hammer silently.

As she walked out of the door of Green's Bakery, she turned around and saw Hammer waving to him, and she smiled and nodded.

The warm afternoon sun shines on the slightly drunken wind, and Aecilia's small shadow on the ground trembles with her footsteps.
