Hope
(Haohao, Tiantian, Jier, and Meimei are playing house in the evening)
Haohao: (Take one Matchbox) Look, I even have a refrigerator, so I don’t lack anything.
Jie’er: Do you have a microwave?
Haohao: (Picks up a small box containing biscuits) Look, this is my microwave oven!
Tian Tian: What? Look at my microwave oven. (Picks up a box containing ice cream and shows it to everyone)
Meimei: Tsk, what do you think that is? Look at me, what is this? (The children gathered around to watch)
Jie’er: Yeah, what did I think it was? It turns out to be a photo of your mother? I have a book full of photos of my mother at home!
Haohao: What’s the use of having photos? My mother is coming back to see me.
Tiantian: (looking at Haohao enviously) Your mother is coming back, but when will my mother come back?
Meimei: (crying loudly, wiping tears with her hands) I miss my dad, I miss my dad.
(At this time, the sun has set, and a few stars appear in the sky)
Jie'er: (Coaxing Meimei) Good sister, don't cry, look at the stars in the sky. My grandma said that when I finish counting all the stars in the sky, my parents will come back.
Meimei: Really? When will we finish counting?
Jie’er: I’ve already counted 188, but I won’t be able to count anymore.
Tian Tian: I can count, let’s count together, 188 (want daddy)
Children: 188 (wish daddy) 189 190 (wish my daddy)
