Mom let out a long sigh and said nothing.
Tian Hua was still pestering, and her mother took her in her arms and said, "Silly girl, don't be ignorant, how can you compare with others, people's uprooted hair is thicker than our waist!" People are born with lanterns, who let you be born in the poor family! ”
The clever Tian Hua knew that he had made his mother sad, and he lowered his head and did not speak. Mom coaxed her to say, "Stay up, when God opens his eyes, we have a better life, you can go to school and wear flower clothes!" ”
