After separating from Yin Yue, Zhou Chengning took Niu Niu with him while Xu Xiangjuan rode her bicycle alone. They had to go pick up Guagua next, but Guagua hadn't finished school so early.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Let's go buy some roasted chestnuts first."
She was craving for roasted chestnuts and wanted to eat some.
"Chestnuts." Niu Niu wants to eat some too.
Since they decided to buy roasted chestnuts, the family went to buy them on the way.
"Juan's cooking is still the best." Zhou Chengning ate one and came to the conclusion.
Xu Xiangjuan: "You are just imagining things. You think my fried chestnuts are delicious. I think this is quite delicious, better than mine... And you said my fried chestnuts are delicious. How long has it been since I fried chestnuts?"
Zhou Chengning: "Anyway, Juan's cooking is still the best."
Xu Xiangjuan: "At that time, we had never eaten anything good, so you thought it smelled good and tasted good."
Just like children cherish candy when they are young, they won’t cherish it so much when they grow up. When they grow up, candy becomes cheap and you can find candy when you clean the house. I don’t know who took the candy out of their pocket and put it aside. They can’t remember it later and the hard candy melts.
Zhou Chengning didn't say anything else. Anyway, what his wife cooked was the most delicious.
Xu Xiangjuan peeled a chestnut for Niu Niu, asking him to chew it before swallowing it.
Although her sister was not there, her parents were there, so Niu Niu did not feel guilty at all about eating the chestnuts.
It was his mother who fed him, not him stealing it, so his sister will be able to eat it later.
When they arrived at the elementary school, Xu Xiangjuan and Zhou Chengning parked their bicycles, and Niu Niu carried the chestnut.
Niu Niu was happy to carry chestnuts, and when he saw his sister, he gave a chestnut to her.
The whole family was waiting for Guagua to come out at the school gate.
There are no kindergartens in primary schools that require parents to pick up their children from class. Many children go home on their own, so parents who need to pick them up have to wait at the gate.
"What's wrong with Guagua?" Xu Xiangjuan's eyes turned red when she saw Guagua coming out with his schoolbag.
When seeing mom, dad and Niu Niu, Gua Gua didn’t say anything and started crying again.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Were you bullied at school? Don't be afraid, tell your mother and she will help you seek justice."
"Sister, chestnut." It was the first time Niu Niu saw his sister crying, so he took out a chestnut and gave it to her.
Gua Gua saw that Li Zi seemed even more sad and hugged his mother.
Xu Xiangjuan then noticed that Guagua seemed to be holding something in her hand. Although her daughter was crying, she kept her mouth tightly closed. A guess formed in her mind.
"Did Guagua lose a tooth?"
"Teeth!" Niu Niu was shocked, and then said, "Sister, if you don't listen, eat candy."
In Niu Niu's impression, if he doesn't listen to his mother and eats candy, his teeth will fall out.
My sister must have eaten candy!
"I didn't eat the candy." Gua Gua was so provoked by his brother that he immediately opened his mouth to clarify.
The first tooth that fell out was the front tooth on the upper gum. It was very obvious and could be seen as long as I opened my mouth.
When Niu Niu saw that his sister was missing a tooth, his already big eyes opened even wider.
Guagua immediately shut up again, but stopped crying because he didn’t want to be laughed at by Niu Niu.
Xu Xiangjuan: "It's okay, Guagua. Mommy tells you that all children will lose their teeth when they are six or seven years old. Mommy and Daddy lost their teeth when they were six or seven years old. Niu Niu will also lose his teeth when he is six or seven years old. Teeth will grow back slowly."
When Niu Niu heard that he could also lose his teeth, he was so shocked that he covered his mouth.
Before covering his mouth, he even remembered to put the chestnuts that he had given to his sister but she didn't want back into the paper bag.
Zhou Chengning: "Don't worry, Guagua, this is normal. Dad did lose teeth when he was a child, but new teeth will not fall out when they grow out."
Xu Xiangjuan patiently persuaded Guagua: "Children's teeth are unstable and need to be replaced because they grow up and become older children. They need better teeth. Are there any classmates in your class who have lost their teeth?"
Guagua's tooth loss period has come late, so it is completely normal for him to lose teeth.
"Mom, will my teeth fall out if I don't eat candy?" Niu Niu asked, letting go of the hand that was covering his mouth.
"Eating candy will cause your teeth to fall out earlier. Your sister is a normal child and it's normal for a child to lose teeth. But if Niu Niu eats a lot of candy now, his teeth will fall out." If they have decayed teeth, let them fall out. Scare the child so that he won't be disobedient and keep eating candy.
Niu Niu looked as if he understood, and promised that he would never eat candy without his mother's permission. After making the promise to his mother, Niu Niu asked his sister if it hurt.
After listening to his mother's words, Guagua became more open-minded, but he was still reluctant to speak. He uttered two words without feeling any pain, and then immediately closed his mouth again.
It fell out during lunch, when Gua Gua was eating vegetables. I don't know why there was a hard object. When I took it out, it turned out to be a tooth. I realized that the tooth had fallen out, and the whole world seemed to collapse. I tried not to cry in class and told my friends and classmates that it was okay. But on the way to the school gate after school, I finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
Xu Xiangjuan: "When we get back to the restaurant, Guagua, open your mouth and show it to mom. Give mom your lost teeth, and I will help you throw them away. Throw away the old teeth, and new teeth will grow."
There is a tradition in my hometown that when a child loses a tooth, the teeth on the lower gums are thrown onto the roof, and the teeth on the upper gums are thrown under the bed. This way the teeth can grow better. Xu Xiangjuan herself was ignorant when she was a child, but now she knows that throwing teeth onto the roof or under the bed is useless. She helped Guagua throw them away to prevent him from having a grudge about the tooth.
As for making the first tooth that fell out into a decoration, that is even more unnecessary. After all, Gua Gua doesn't seem to have much affection for the tooth that fell out.
After mom said that, Gua Gua gave her the fallen tooth.
On the way back to the restaurant, Xu Xiangjuan drove Gua Gua and Zhou Chengning drove Niu Niu.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Gua Gua followed his mother to the small room.
Niu Niu wanted to follow in, but his father grabbed his collar and he watched the door close.
Zhou Chengning: "Girls are talking like girls. Niu Niu, you are a little boy, you can't listen."
Niu Niu: "Why, teeth, girl."
What does teeth have to do with girls?
"Didn't you see your sister crying?" Zhou Chengning picked up Niu Niu, found a place for Niu Niu to sit, and he sat opposite Niu Niu.
Niu Niu: “Crying.”
"Niuniu, do you want to be seen by Pig when you cry?"
Niu Niu immediately shook his head: "No."
Zhou Chengning: "Sister doesn't want to be seen by Niu Niu. Mom is trying to comfort Sister. Niu Niu, are you going to make trouble?"
We have to teach children to put themselves in other people’s shoes.
"Losing teeth." Niu Niu still felt it was scary.
Zhou Chengning: "When Niu Niu reaches his sister's age, he will also lose his teeth. Don't worry."
Niu Niu: "Don't lose your teeth."
"How is it possible not to lose teeth? Niu Niu would only dream of not losing teeth." Zhou Chengning was not so tactful.
Niu Niu got off the chair by himself and said to his father, "I want my mother."
Mom was still talking to her sister, and Niu Niu ran to the door of the small room to wait for her mom.
Zhou Chengning simply sat at the counter and worked the cashier.
Aunt Zhao saw the child standing quietly at the door of the small room, and she couldn't help but sigh that the boss's family knew how to teach their children, and they were all well-behaved.
Inside the small room.
Xu Xiangjuan gave her daughter psychological counseling for a long time, and finally told Guagua the precautions: "Guagua, remember, don't lick the gum where the tooth fell off. A new tooth will grow soon. Don't lick the new tooth when it is still small. It's okay if you lick it accidentally, but don't lick it deliberately. When eating, push the food to the left or right side... just take turns on both sides."
"Okay, I understand, Mom." The lost teeth obviously made Gua Gua lack confidence.
The confidence may still be there, but the chatterbox Guagua is gone.
When Xu Xiangjuan said this, she felt that Gua Gua had listened to her, so she touched Gua Gua's braid and asked Gua Gua to follow her out.
"Why is Niu Niu standing at the door?" I was really surprised to see Niu Niu when I opened the door.
Niu Niu: "Mom, don't lose your teeth!"
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, don't worry about Niu Niu, he is worrying about nothing."
Niu Niu didn't care about what his father said about worrying about nothing. His mother had already spoken to his sister about girls' words, and now she wanted to speak to him about boys' words.
Niu Niu grabbed his mother's hand and wanted to go to the small room with her to talk boyish words.
Xu Xiangjuan roughly understood Niu Niu's intention and followed Niu Niu to the small room.
Zhou Chengning: "Guagua, don't worry. Dad lost his teeth when he was a kid, too. He lost a few teeth at a time until all his teeth were gone. But since he had nothing to eat when he was a kid, losing teeth didn't matter. Just remember what mom told you."
"I understand, Dad." After his mother's psychological counseling, and after hearing about what his father had nothing to eat when he was a child, Gua Gua was no longer sad and went to the two-person table closest to the counter to do his homework.
After getting over the psychological hurdle, the next step is to adapt to the discomfort of having a missing tooth.
Xu Xiangjuan was also a little tired. Not only did she have to provide psychological counseling to her daughter who had lost teeth, but she also had to provide psychological counseling to Niu Niu, who had not lost any teeth but was worried about losing them and said he didn't want them to fall out.
Niu Niu is easier to deal with. Just give him some verbal reassurances and put him at ease.
The family had dinner together in the evening. Xu Xiangjuan and Zhou Chengning were fine, but Niu Niu, a child who had never seen a tooth fall out and had never seen the world, kept watching his sister eat. After taking a bite of food, he would look up at his sister eating, and then continue eating after watching for a while.
Guagua lost his front teeth and spoke with a lisp: "Mom, Niu Niu, look at where my tooth fell out!"
Xu Xiangjuan: "Niuniu, stop looking at me and eat your meal."
After hearing what his mother said, Niu Niu couldn't help but look at his sister's toothless mouth.
He really suspected that his sister lied to him and said that losing a tooth wouldn't hurt.
, it looks like it’s impossible not to hurt!
...
early morning.
Xu Xiangjuan did not wake up naturally, but was awakened by Niu Niu's crying.
"Why are you crying, Niu Niu? Don't cry, don't cry."
Niu Niu was leaning on his father's side, and Zhou Chengning also woke up when he heard the noise.
Niu Niu sat on the bed and pointed at his teeth: "My teeth have fallen out."
Gua Gua sat up, not knowing what his brother was talking about.
"No, no, Niu Niu's teeth are still there. He just had a nightmare. Don't be afraid." Xu Xiangjuan held Niu Niu in her arms and coaxed him for a long time. She only stopped crying after she was sure that her teeth were still there.
It turned out that the younger brother dreamed about losing his teeth and burst into tears. Because of this episode with his younger brother, Gua Gua has completely gotten over the trauma of losing his teeth.
Guagua came out, but Niu Niu didn't. Xu Xiangjuan knew that any psychological counseling was useless and she could only attract Niu Niu's attention elsewhere.
On the day off, Song Ping'an, who hadn't been seen for almost a month, came over. Seeing Niu Niu and Gua Gua were there, he said goodbye to his cousin and his wife and took them out.
"Why aren't Guagua and Niu Niu talking today?" They are usually very active in speaking when they go out, so why are they silent today?
Guagua was embarrassed to speak because he had lost his teeth, while Niu Niu was taken care of by his sister.
Originally he just followed his sister and imitated what she said. Today his sister didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say.
