She never scolded Helen for this, but rather with a smile. Two years' ago, Helen's elder-brother went to study in town. Proud as he was, he even didn't take a second look at her poor sister. Helen buried this in mind and promised herself one day she would step out of this yard too. Finally the day comes.
Mom comes up and wipes tears off.
But Helen surely sees tears in her mother' eyes. While packing up, she puts away some of her favorite dresses, for she knows she has grown up, and clothes should get more mature too. She buys utensils she doesn't know how to use, but she notices that mother is using it, and one day she will be the same.
