Song Yanshen nodded heavily.
Zhang Chunxue's nose suddenly soured: "What kind of life did this child live in the past!"
Song Xingzhi's face was also full of heartache: "It's really not easy for this child to live safely to this age."
"He's still safe," Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but reach out and touch Song Yanshen's head. "Have you forgotten what he looked like when you first rescued him? Who wouldn't feel heartbroken seeing all those injuries?"
But thinking of today's main point, Zhang Chunxue spoke softly again: "Xiao Shen, have you ever thought that you might be able to speak?"
Song Yanshen: “???”
He was absolutely sure that he just couldn't speak!
Apart from the occasional "ahhh" sound, he couldn't speak at all.
Seeing him shaking his head repeatedly, Zhang Chunxue's voice became softer: "Xiao Shen, no one taught you to speak since you were a child, so you think you can't speak, and even think you are mute."
"But you can make sounds, which means your vocal cords are fine. You can also hear, so you actually know what sounds sound like..."
"So, you just need to start learning again, and maybe you can actually learn to speak."
Song Yanshen's eyes widened.
Can he speak?
This...how is this possible!
Zhang Chunxue's face was full of encouragement: "Let's give it a try. It's just a try anyway. If it really works, you'll be able to speak in the future!"
"If it doesn't work out, we haven't lost anything, have we?"
After saying this, Song Yanshen suddenly hesitated.
He didn't know what to do.
Should he give it a try? But he was afraid that even if he tried with high hopes, he wouldn't get the results he wanted.
Song Xingzhi saw what he was thinking, and after a little thought, he pulled Song Yanshen aside.
"Your mom is still excited right now, so just listen to her and play with her! Make her happy!"
"If she actually talks to you, she'll definitely be happier! But if she can't teach you, the most she'll probably be is a little disappointed."
Song Xingzhi patted Song Yanshen on the shoulder: "You are a little man now, just think of it as making your mother happy."
He cleverly shifted the focus of the incident from Song Yanshen to Zhang Chunxue.
In this way, even if Song Yanshen really couldn't learn to speak in the end, Song Yanshen himself would not be too disappointed.
When Song Yanshen heard what Song Xingzhi said, he immediately nodded.
He turned and walked to Zhang Chunxue, took her hand, his eyes full of seriousness, obviously agreeing with Zhang Chunxue's proposal.
Zhang Chunxue didn't know what Song Xingzhi had said to him, but it didn't matter as long as the result was good.
Zhong Xiaoxiao and Song Yanze became even more excited and came over immediately.
"Second Aunt! Second Aunt! Let me teach Xiao Shen to speak!" Song Yanze signed up enthusiastically.
Zhong Xiaoxiao pushed her aside and said, "You'll be going back to the capital in a few days, so let me do it!"
Song Yanze: "I'll do it!"
Zhong Xiaoxiao: "Let me do it!"
Zhang Chunxue separated the arguing brother and sister and said with a smile, "Neither of you can do it, so let me do it!"
Now, both children were depressed.
Zhang Chunxue explained, "I'm going to use an easier method to teach him to speak."
Song Xingzhi also spoke up for Zhang Chunxue, "Sister Chunxue doesn't have a high level of education, so it might be easier for her to teach Xiaoshen. As for you two, both of you are high school students, so you might be more likely to make mistakes."
Zhang Chunxue's face turned dark.
What do you mean by her low level of education?
Okay, admit that she didn't even graduate from elementary school, but Zhang Chunxue, who had witnessed the prosperity of later generations, had come into contact with all kinds of electronic products, and even traveled abroad, had a vision and experience that was not comparable to that of ordinary people today.
But she still couldn't help but reach out and pinch Song Xingzhi's waist.
But taking advantage of the time now, she immediately pulled Song Yanshen into his room and began to teach him the first pronunciation.
"Come on, Xiao Shen, repeat after me," Zhang Chunxue opened her mouth, "Ah——"
Song Yanshen: “…”
It seemed to be the only syllable he could utter.
Is this to take care of him, mom?
But he was still obedient and opened his mouth like Zhang Chunxue: "Ah——"
He originally thought that Zhang Chunxue would change to the next word after hearing that he knew it, but he didn't expect that Zhang Chunxue seemed to be arguing with this word and kept asking him to pronounce it in this way.
Song Yan was confused, but did as he was told.
Seeing that he had become very proficient in saying "ah", Zhang Chunxue began to change the tone from the first tone to the second tone.
Song Yanshen keenly noticed that his mother's "ah" had changed in tone.
He wanted to change the tune along with Zhang Chunxue, but he found that the tone he made was extremely obscure, and he almost couldn't pronounce it at all.
Zhang Chunxue also noticed that he had difficulty changing his tone, but she did not get discouraged. Instead, she taught him over and over again.
The others outside the room heard a burst of "Ah" sounds from inside and looked at each other in confusion.
"Can Mommy do it?" Zhong Xiaoxiao was a little worried. "This isn't all about teaching Xiao Shen!"
"Isn't this Mommy learning from Xiao Shen? Don't let Xiao Shen fail to speak and Mommy also become unable to speak."
Song Yanze looked at her speechlessly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
He touched his chin and said, "I think this 'ah' is quite different..."
A hint of admiration flashed across his face: "Apart from anything else, Second Auntie is incredibly patient."
"Second Aunt is right. Compared to her, we may not be able to teach Xiao Shen well."
Song Xingzhi's heart was filled with pride: "My sister Chunxue is the best!"
Song Yanze began to rub his arms again.
How corny! Second Uncle is so corny!
Zhang Chunxue originally thought that she could teach Song Yanshen at least the four tones of "ah" tonight, but she didn't expect that it would take more than an hour for Song Yanshen to be able to pronounce the second tone completely.
Zhang Chunxue finally understood why Song Yanshen had been unable to speak.
He thought it was natural that he couldn't speak, so it was naturally very difficult to teach him pronunciation.
But it doesn't matter, the fact that he can pronounce it now means he can learn it.
He is not dumb, he just can't speak.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Chunxue took Song Yanshen out of the room and asked him to pour some hot water for washing up.
When she turned her head, she saw Song Xingzhi looking at her with a faint smile.
"Sister Haruyuki is amazing!" he exclaimed sincerely. "I think Xiao Shen will definitely be able to learn to speak."
Zhang Chunxue said sarcastically, "I don't have a high level of education, and I don't know if I can teach Xiao Shen to speak!"
