During the day, Keiko accompanies the children to play games, combs Kyoko and Koyuki's hair, Kyoko reads the book, takes her mother's cosmetics and says: Mom I want to go to school. Keiko says that there is nothing good in school, and no father will be bullied.
Keiko tells Ming that this time she likes someone again, and if she can reach a marriage contract this time, everyone can be together in an open way without hiding, the children can go to school, and Kyoko can play the piano. Ming smelled the sunshine in the quilt and did not speak for a long time.
At night, Keiko returns home with a drunken body, and Ming sees that her mother's ex-boyfriend is driving her back in a taxi. Keiko said: Akira is becoming more and more like his father, his father works at the airport, and she wants to be a singer to make records, and Kyoko's father is a music producer. Keiko put nail polish on Kyoko.
In the morning, Ming found that her mother had left a note saying that she was going to leave home for a while. Let him take care of his younger siblings.
Ming saved the money left by his mother and mentally calculated the various expenses of the family. He went to the convenience store to buy something, the nearby child put the stolen toy box in his shopping bag, only to be caught by the store manager, thinking that he was a thief, fortunately the clerk came out to clarify for him, the store manager said sorry and gave him hot buns.
Ming and Kyoko calculate the expenses of the family, and the camera gives Kyoko's nails, and the nail polish is gone. It shows that my mother has been away from home for a long time. (Every time Kyoko's nail polish is almost gone, her mother will come back and apply new nails to her)
Thinking that his mother didn't have much money left behind and hadn't slept all night, he got up and called (seemingly to mom's ex-boyfriend), and the next day he took the light rail to find his mother's ex-boyfriend for help, he was driving a taxi. He asked if Xiaoxue looked like him
Then Ming came to the video game city, he asked the waiter here for help, the waiter said that he did not have much money, but still gave Li Ming a little money. And tell Ming that Xiaoxue is not his child, he has to do safety measures.........
After a few more days, Ming calculated that there was very little money left in his pocket, and Shigeru was frantically probing at the edge of the balcony, seeing that he could not hold on, keiko returned. The children seemed to see hope. Only Akira and Kyoko knew that their mother might not be back next time, and they were not as happy and excited as Shigeru and Koyuki.
Kyoko sees her mother return and wants her mother to help her apply new nails. It turned out to be accidentally spilled. Her mother scolds Kyoko not to touch her things, Kyoko asks her why she went out to work for a month and didn't come home, keiko said that work is far away in Osaka. This time, mom didn't paint Kyoko's nails either. Kyoko is sad and worried that her mother will not come back.
In the blink of an eye, Keiko is packing her things again, and she says she will be back before Christmas, telling Ming that if she has no money, she can continue to ask the taxi driver and the video game city attendant. Ming asked Keiko if she had told her mother's new friend about their situation? When can I go to school? And accuses Keiko of being a selfish person. Keiko said that when the time was ripe, she would naturally say that Ming's father was the most selfish person, abandoned them, and she also had the right to pursue happiness, coaxing Ming to say that she could also work without going to school. She and Ming promise that Christmas will come back, and Ming believes her mother.
The weather is getting colder, Christmas is approaching, the children did not wait for Santa Claus, fortunately, Ming finally waited for the special price cake on the street, on the way home, met the girl Shaxi, she seems to have thrown something in the river. They looked at each other, and Shahi walked away quickly.
Kyoko blames herself for saying too much, so her mother does not come back, and Ming comforts her, saying that her mother did not come back because of work. Ming secretly called her mother's unit and learned that her mother had already resigned.
In the evening, Ming made instant noodles for his younger siblings, and according to the information in the mail, he found the phone number of the place where his mother lived, and his mother's voice came from the other side of the phone, but it seemed that his mother was married. Ming didn't say a word, he looked at his brothers and sisters, and at this moment, he knew that his mother had abandoned them.
When the New Year came, Ming bought an envelope, found a convenience store waiter to help write the names of his younger siblings, and filled the envelope with money, he lied to them that they were the pressure money given by his mother, kyoko wanted to save the money to buy a piano.
