Divorced woman with child travels through time

Chen Wenfang didn't sleep very well that night. She was awakened by thunder in the middle of the night. Looking at the reflection of lightning on the window paper, she was a little frightened and thought she should put up curtains. She looked at her son by the light and saw that he was sleeping soundly. Relieved, Chen Wenfang got up and went to the kitchen. She subconsciously glanced at the kitchen window, which was closed, and she didn't feel anything unusual.

She took the kitchen knife back to the bedroom, placed it under her pillow, tucked her son in, and lay down to sleep. With the added comfort of the knife, Chen Wenfang slept soundly until dawn.

When Chen Wenfang opened her eyes the next day, the rain was still pouring down. She asked her son, "Xuanzai, are you hungry?"

Chen Xuanyu said in a soft, sweet voice, "I'm not hungry yet, Mom. It's still raining."

"Yes, you can't go out to play anymore, or you'll get wet and catch a cold." Looking at her son's rosy little face after waking up, Chen Wenfang's heart also softened.

There wasn't much to do after getting up, so Chen Wenfang decided to stay in bed a little longer. "Let's tell a story," she said.

Chen Xuanyu cheered, "Great! Great! Tell us about Sun Wukong!"

Chen Wenfang laughed and said, "Then let's talk about Sun Wukong. Mom will go first. One day, Mom was cooking in the kitchen when Sun Wukong suddenly walked in. It's your turn."

Chen Xuanyu said, "Sun Wukong said, 'Hey, you little demon, where did you hide Ultraman?'"

Chen Wenfang laughed uncontrollably and said, "I didn't see Ultraman. I stewed the pork that Pigsy gave me with eggplant. Do you want to try some, Sun Wukong?"

Chen Xuanyu feigned reluctance, "Since you're so sincerely begging me, I'll reluctantly eat two bowls." He then pretended to wipe his mouth with his hand, saying in a cute but fierce tone, "I've finished the meat, aren't you going to hand over Ultraman? Do you believe I'll smash up your kitchen?"

Chen Wenfang laughed, "You little rascal, you dare to wreck my turf!" She then made a delicate, pinky gesture with her fingers.

Chen Xuanyu feigned fear and said, "You, you, you are Guanyin Bodhisattva??"

Chen Wenfang said, feigning seriousness, "So, do you still dare to smash it now?"

Chen Xuanyu said fiercely, "Of course I dare! You white-boned demon, you dare to lie to me, I'll beat you..."

Chen Wenfang responded, "Ah... my head hurts so much... I'm going to die... You wait, I'll call my grandpa to come and deal with you."

Chen Xuanyu asked urgently, "And then what? And then what? Who are you going to call?"

Chen Wenfang said, "I heard a call from the abyss, who is bullying my daughter? Ah... ha... ha... take this!" Chen Wenfang patted Chen Xuanyu's head and said, "I am Voldemort now, hahaha."

Chen Xuanyu stood up with a smile and said, "Voldemort, if I call your name, will you dare to answer?"

Chen Wenfang sat up, laughing as she tickled Chen Xuanyu's armpits, and said, "What wouldn't I dare to agree to? You little monkey, call your master here. I want to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh, I want to live forever."

Chen Xuanyu laughed and dodged, saying, "Master went swimming today because it's raining. He's not home. Don't bully me, or I'll call for backup!"

Chen Wenfang chased after him, scratching him and saying, "Go ahead and scream, no one will come to save you. Just be a good boy and work for me."

Chen Xuanyu was laughing so hard he was exhausted, and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) to hide. "Ha, I... hee hee, my junior brother will come over... he'll use a rake to... nail you to the wall... then you won't be able to scratch me anymore."

Seeing that he was laughing too hard, Chen Wenfang was afraid that he wouldn't be able to breathe, so she stopped tickling him and said, "Why don't you ask your junior brother to come over? It's just in time to slaughter a pig and eat meat. We won't need to buy meat anymore." After saying that, she reached out to grab him.

Taking advantage of a moment, Chen Xuanyu scrambled to his feet, climbed to the wall of the kang (heated brick bed), and playfully said, "Come and catch me! Come and catch me!"

Chen Wenfang waved her hands, trying to touch the hem of his clothes, pretending she couldn't catch him, chasing him to the left one moment and the right the next. "I'll catch you, I'll catch you... Don't let me catch you..."

Chen Xuanyu ran while laughing, "You can't catch me, haha!" He ran from left to right, then from right to left. "Ha, you can't catch me, come on!" he taunted as he ran. Running too fast, he tripped over his own feet and fell onto the kang (heated brick bed). Luckily, the kang was covered with thick straw, a straw mat, and a sheet covered with dry straw, so he was unharmed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Wenfang pulled him over, held him in her arms, and laughed, "You've got your hands on him now, can't run away now."

Chen Xuanyu pretended to struggle and twist his body, calling out towards the chicks in the side room, "Brother Chicken, please save me!"

Chen Wenfang laughed and said, "Your chickens are too small. Let them grow up a bit before you come over. I'll give them some chili peppers and cilantro then."

Chen Xuanyu replied, "Mom, dry pot chicken doesn't taste good. Let's make chicken stew with mushrooms instead."

Chen Wenfang laughed again and said, "Okay, okay, when you grow up we'll make chicken stew with mushrooms. By the way, Zizai, how about Mommy goes and catches a puppy to play with you?"

Chen Xuanyu exclaimed happily, "Great! I'll name it!"

Chen Wenfang asked, "Then what name will you choose?"

Chen Xuanyu said, "Let's call it ice cream, Mom. I want to eat ice cream."

Chen Wenfang pursed her lips, "Mom doesn't know how to make this. Sorry, I probably won't be able to eat it again."

Chen Xuanyu said helplessly, "Okay, Mom, does that mean we can't go back?"

Chen Wenfang hugged him, patted his head, and said wistfully, "Yes, we can't go back."
