Tangtang heard the noise and ran over.
With a babyish voice, she said, "Mommy, mommy is so clumsy, you broke your bowl."
Only then did Tang Xi realize, chicken soup was all over the ground, ceramic pieces were sharp, she quickly stopped Tangtang from coming any closer for fear she might step on them.
"Sweetie, go play on the balcony."
Tang Xi grabbed the cleaning tools, cleaned up, and when she looked up at the television, the news broadcast had already ended.
She sat on the sofa, taking a long while to relax.
She took out her mobile phone, searching for today's news about the island.
The island is semi-closed, with travel mainly by boat, but the island has well-developed facilities, good education, and healthcare. Thus, the island's residents are self-sufficient, especially after the development of tourism which has greatly increased their incomes.
Tang Xi had lived here for four years and had already gotten used to the slow and gentle life.
