Chapter 107
Jiang Zhinian finally realized what was happening: "Shi Ye, you are teasing me on purpose."
She jumped off Shi Ye's legs and tried to run into the tent, but someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her back onto his legs: "Stop making trouble. Come back and watch the stars with me."
In fact, there is nothing beautiful about the stars. It is just a way to stare at them quietly with the people around you.
"Shi Ye, why did you like to go camping in the mountains in the past?" From what Shi Ye had said before, she seemed to be quite familiar with the owner of this store.
There's no particular reason, it's just because—
"Quiet."
He had trouble sleeping for a while. He couldn't stand any noisy sounds in the city and always had headaches, so he simply ran to the mountains. Late at night, it was so quiet that you would feel as if you were the only one in the world.
Your mood will calm down.
He is not actually a professional camping enthusiast. Unlike those who are fully equipped, he simply doesn't care and therefore does it randomly. He is different from those professionals who even carry pots and pans up the mountain.
It was also at that time that I met the owner of this store.
"Like this..." Jiang Zhinian pinched his fingers and said casually, "Actually, we should put two lounge chairs here."
It is so pleasant to lie down and look up at the stars.
Shi Ye patted her waist and said, "I think there should be some. I'll go to the front desk and borrow a couple."
After watching Shi Ye leave, Jiang Zhinian leaned on the wooden table with her chin supported. Before she could stay in a daze for long, a little girl's voice woke her up.
"Auntie, can you kick the ball to me?"
Jiang Zhinian lowered his head and saw the pink ball under his feet.
She raised her foot and kicked it lightly, and the ball rolled to the little girl's feet. Just as she was about to bend down to pick it up, a slightly older boy rushed over and kicked the ball away.
The little boy's face didn't have the look of someone who had succeeded in a prank, and his eyes even wavered as he looked at Jiang Zhinian.
"Mom, my brother stole my ball again."
A woman came out of the next tent and said helplessly to the little boy, "How many times have I told you not to bully your sister or take her toys? Do you understand?"
The tone was not harsh, but more like helpless nagging.
The little boy heard the sound and turned around. He didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly started hitting his head and making sharp screams.
The mother quickly walked down and hugged the little boy: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't mean to blame Nan Nan, I know Nan Nan is a good boy..."
Soon a man came out of the tent and carried the struggling little boy into the tent.
Mom breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Zhinian apologetically, afraid that she would show disgust towards her.
For a family with two children like theirs, whose children are at an age when they are hated by everyone, they would be looked down upon if they went out, not to mention that she also has a problem child.
But sometimes it’s not that she doesn’t want to take care of it, but that she can’t. God knows how she spends every day in collapse. Sometimes she thinks, forget it, let it be destroyed, and sometimes she thinks, no, she still has to rescue it.
The three words "autism" appeared in Jiang Zhinian's mind. She nodded to her in understanding, with a kind smile on her face, like a breeze blowing on her face, giving people a gentle feeling.
The mother felt Jiang Zhinian's kindness, smiled gratefully, turned around and took the little girl into the tent.
Jiang Zhinian turned around and saw Shi Ye standing not far away holding a recliner.
"Shi Ye." He probably saw what happened just now, so he didn't come over.
Shi Ye came back with the recliner, put it away, and helped Jiang Zhinian lie down.
Jiang Zhinian reached out to hold Shi Ye's hand: "Shi Ye, did you see the little boy just now?"
"Well, I highly suspect autism, but I can't draw a conclusion without an examination."
Autism, also known as star children, is actually a disease with a very broad spectrum. Not all children are autistic and introverted. There are also some other manifestations. In recent years, with the popularization of the concept, more and more children have been diagnosed.
The experts in their hospital are considered leaders in this field. Every day, many parents from other places bring their children for examination with great hope, hoping to get a confirmed "no" result. Unfortunately, there are still many disappointments.
"When I was teaching first grade, there was a child with autism in the class next door. It was relatively mild. I heard he was diagnosed at a very young age. Everyone around him urged his mother to have another child, but his mother refused. She quit her job and stayed at home to accompany him through intervention therapy. I can say that child was able to integrate into normal life. That mother is truly amazing."
It’s just a pity that the child later accidentally pushed another child down. The other child’s parents spread the word that the child was mentally ill and would be a dangerous child in school. This put a lot of pressure on the child’s parents, and they had to transfer the child to another school.
She was not sure whether she continued to attend a regular primary school or a special school.
"Immediate intervention is indeed very helpful for children's growth and recovery."
"Shi Ye, is it possible that autism can't be detected during prenatal checkups?"
"Well, current medical technology is not yet advanced enough to detect it."
"It wasn't until I became a teacher that I realized how a seemingly healthy child could have so many problems, such as autism and ADHD..."
There is no way to detect these children who give their parents headaches before they are born.
Shi Ye turned his head to look at Jiang Zhinian, his eyes filled with a hint of pity: "If you knew your child might have problems, would you give birth to him?"
Jiang Zhinian thought of the look the autistic little boy had given her just now...
"I don't know..." After a long time, Jiang Zhinian touched his belly and uttered these four words.
Shi Ye was a little surprised. He had discussed the issue of gestational hypertension with Jiang Zhinian last time. He thought that based on Jiang Zhinian's rationality, she would choose to give up the child without hesitation.
But her answer was "I don't know".
Jiang Zhinian smiled bitterly: "I am currently being held hostage by progesterone. If my life were in danger, I might still be able to remain rational. Now that I am not under any threat of death, my brain cannot allow me to make a rational decision."
A pregnant woman's love for her child will slowly reach its peak with the rise of progesterone, and her feelings are something the father cannot understand or empathize with.
Shi Ye just held her hand tightly and said, "Don't be angry."
He looked at Jiang Zhinian: "I'll make this decision for you. A child with problems shouldn't be born into this world and make his family suffer."
This child may be ignorant and not know how painful his existence is to his family, but if he could understand, perhaps he would not be willing to come into this world.
