Chapter 49: When Qianqian was being scolded, she pursed her pink lips and cried...
It is not good for children to look at tablets all the time, as it can easily affect their eyesight. Song Keling thought that snakes' eyesight is already very poor, and it would be disastrous if it gets worse.
This is when the books you buy become important.
The next day, Song Keling got up quietly, but she was not surprised to see that Qianqian was still woken up.
The other person sat on the bed, rubbing his eyes sleepily, and quickly got out of bed.
Song Keling stood there without moving, looked at her and said "Hmm?"
Qianqian followed her gaze and immediately realized where she had gone wrong. She ran back to the bed and put her slippers on. Then she ran to Song Keling, looked up at her and smiled ingratiatingly, "You're all dressed up."
Song Keling patted her head approvingly and praised, "Well, Qianqian is awesome."
Next, Song Keling taught Qianqian how to brush her teeth.
When I bought it, I asked the clerk that children of this age can use electric toothbrushes, and they just need to choose ones with soft bristles.
"Twist the toothpaste out first," Song Keling said. "Squeeze out a little bit of toothpaste, and do it slowly and gently."
Qianqian followed her movements step by step, repeating: "Be gentle, be slow..."
Song Keling: "Yes, squeeze this little bit of toothpaste onto the brush head, then gently place the toothbrush on your teeth like this and press the start button. Remember, when brushing the upper teeth, tilt your hand slightly so that the fine bristles touch the tooth surface and a little flesh. Do the same with the lower teeth. Then open your mouth and brush the top of the teeth vertically, then work your way back to brush the inside of the teeth..."
Qianqian was studying very hard, but that didn't stop her from getting dizzy. She immediately threw a tantrum and put down her toothbrush, "I don't want to brush my teeth anymore! This is so troublesome!"
Song Keling said, "If you don't brush your teeth, worms will grow in your teeth, and then your teeth will hurt."
"My teeth won't get worms!" Qianqian said confidently, "If they do, I'll eat them!"
Song Keling was frightened by her words. Other children might be scared with insects, but it obviously didn't work on a little snake demon.
Song Keling glanced at the time and saw it was still early, so she took a different approach and said, "If you don't brush your teeth, you can't eat sweet cakes and candies. Isn't that what you like the most?"
Qianqian loves sweet things the most. She looked at Song Keling with tears in her eyes and aggrieved, "Why can't I eat without brushing my teeth..."
Song Keling didn't bring up the worm theory again, but just said, "Pick up your toothbrush."
Qianqian was scolded and pursed her pink lips. Tears started to flow down her cheeks the moment she picked up the toothbrush.
Song Keling's heart skipped a beat. She bent down and saw the child's eyes filled with tears. Her heart tightened inexplicably and she quickly held her little hand, "Forget it, if you really don't want to brush your teeth, then don't brush them." Anyway, snakes probably don't get cavities... right?
Qianqian sobbed and looked at her, "Then can I, can I still eat candy?"
Song Keling didn't answer and hesitated for two seconds.
Seeing this, Qianqian choked up and raised her toothbrush with tears in her eyes, "Then I'll brush it."
Song Keling sighed, "You can eat it. If you don't want to brush it, don't brush it. It's okay."
After the teeth-brushing incident, Song Keling truly felt how difficult it is to raise a child. Even a child as sensible and well-behaved as Qianqian has a fragile little heart.
I cry when my bottom line is touched.
There was no other way, Song Keling could only put the matter behind her. After buying breakfast and eating it together, she took out some books and dictionaries and told Qianqian to read them slowly and call her if she didn't understand anything.
After taking care of the child's daily life, Song Keling went to school. Before leaving, she worriedly reminded Qianqian again not to open the door to strangers.
Qianqian nodded her head and promised.
After Song Keling closed the door, Qianqian returned to the coffee table and opened a book with various beautiful and vivid pictures printed on it. She only read two pages before she stood up and ran to the bathroom.
The bathroom counter was a little high and she couldn't reach it.
Qianqian brought a small chair and stood on it, took out the toothbrush and toothpaste, unscrewed the lid, gently squeezed a little onto the toothbrush, and then put it in her mouth.
As soon as the button was pressed, it vibrated instantly.
Qianqian was caught off guard and startled, and immediately dropped her toothbrush. At the same time, her small body standing on the bench became unstable and fell to the side.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, she turned back into a little white snake.
The little snake fell to the ground on the tiles in the bathroom. When it came to its senses, it saw a "huge monster" falling towards it in its peripheral vision. It quickly twisted its body to avoid it like lightning.
Finally, the small stool fell with a bang to the place where Qianqian had just been.
That was a close call.
Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and climbed onto the bench, but then she found that she was not tall enough to reach the sink.
Qianqian chased her thin tail and turned around three times on the stool leg.
Only then did he accept the fact that he had turned back into a little snake.
Qianqian was extremely worried. It was all over...
It didn't know how it turned into a human to open the door and go out last time. It only remembered that it was dark outside and its sister had not come back yet. It was so anxious that it ran around in circles. When it came to the door, it was closed and couldn't be opened.
It couldn't reach it, and became even more anxious.
In a hurry, I found myself turned into a human.
Now what? Go back to the door and rush again?
Qianqian swam out of the bathroom, wagging her tail.
However, it had just triggered its body's instinctive self-protection mechanism under stress. Now that the danger was gone, it swam for a while before finding itself turned back into a human.
Qianqian looked down to see if she had hit anything, and found that it didn't hurt, so she got up and ran back to the bathroom, held on to the small stool, and picked up the electric toothbrush.
Looking at the still vibrating brush, she overcame her fear, opened her mouth with an "ah" and put the toothbrush on her row of white teeth.
Although the process was a bit thrilling, the ending was still good.
Song Keling had no idea how thrilling the moment was at home.
After finishing the morning math and physics classes, I was going to buy lunch for Qianqian, but I was delayed for a while because the professor called me away to help out.
It was too late to rush back to have dinner together when the party was over.
Song Keling could only eat in the cafeteria while using her mobile phone to order a takeaway to her residential area. She noted that the delivery man should not knock on the door after delivering the food, and just leave it at the door and take a picture for herself.
The microbiology experiment class had not started in the afternoon. Song Keling saw that the takeaway had been delivered and called Qianqian at home.
The call was quickly connected, and a childish but clear voice came from the other end: "Sister?"
"It's me." Song Keling didn't know why, but the moment she heard the voice on the other end, her heart softened considerably, and her tone of voice unconsciously became gentler. "I'm too busy to go back today, so I ordered lunch for you. Just open the door and take it."
"Oh well."
"Has anyone behaved well this morning?"
“…Yes, I read a lot of books!”
“That’s great.”
Song Keling said a few more words and then hung up the phone. She strode into the laboratory building with the textbooks, notebook and pen she would need for class.
Everyone should put on lab coats first.
At this time, a short, slender girl squeezed next to Song Keling and said in a teasing tone, "Keling, I heard it all~~ Who were you talking to on the phone just now? Your tone was so gentle. I've never seen you like that before."
Song Keling glanced at Xu Xinlei, who looked gossipy, and walked in with her. She replied, "A little sister from a relative's family."
Xu Xinlei felt disappointed, but she didn't give up completely. She was still a little excited. "How old is the little sister? Eighteen years old can also be called a little sister."
"Eight years old."
"...Oh, okay." Xu Xinlei completely lost interest now.
Change into lab coats and wear masks and gloves.
After putting on the mask, Xu Xinlei's voice was a little unclear, but she was still talking to Song Keling: "I asked you to try it last time, have you tried it?"
Song Keling: "What?"
"It's just a little snake."
Song Keling was silent, thinking that it was not a little snake but a little snake demon, and now it had turned into a child.
Xu Xinlei continued, "After I went home that day, I thought about it and felt that it must have some effect. If you haven't tried it, why don't I go with you tonight and we do another experiment?"
Song Keling refused and said, "Forget it, I'm too busy lately."
"busy?"
"I'm busy with finals, projects, and taking care of the kids."
"Oh yes, then..." Xu Xinlei wanted to say that she could wait and see after she was done with her work.
Song Keling didn't wait for her to say anything and continued, "And in order to make it easier to take care of the child, I temporarily gave the little white snake to a friend to raise."
"Huh?!" Xu Xinlei was obviously a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was normal. She was about to say something else, but saw Song Keling turned and walked towards the laboratory after she finished speaking. She hurriedly followed, "Hey Keling, wait a minute, I'll be in your group."
After Qianqian finished talking to Song Keling on the phone, she stood up and walked to the door. She put her ear close to the door and listened carefully for a while. After making sure that there was no one else outside, she carefully opened the door.
There was a plastic bag outside the door.
Qianqian looked around cautiously, quickly took the bag into the house, and closed the door, which locked automatically.
Qianqian put away the books she had finished reading in the morning, took out the takeaway, put it on the table, opened it, and took a deep sniff of the hot lunch.
Wow, it smells so good!
Song Keling ordered a plate of braised chicken with rice.
Before eating, Qianqian ran to the kitchen to wash her hands, then returned to the table and sat down cross-legged.
She was already quite proficient in using chopsticks and spoons, and she quickly finished a large box of braised chicken with rice.
The bones were poured into the trash can, and Qianqian walked into the kitchen carrying a paper bowl of rice, disposable chopsticks and a plastic spoon.
She remembered how her sister did it.
Open the dishwasher, put the "paper bowls" into the basket, and put the spoons and chopsticks away separately.
Well, close it.
After Qianqian finished all this, she stood on tiptoe in front of the sink to wash her hands. Seeing a box of paper towels beside her, she took out a piece of kitchen paper and wiped her greasy mouth.
A bit rough.
Qianqian wiped it with disgust, threw the paper into the trash can, then ran back to the living room and continued reading.
There are four books in total.
I finished reading three books this morning.
When Qianqian finished reading the last book, she picked up a thick dictionary beside her and started flipping through it.
A dictionary is a magical thing. It contains many words and their explanations.
But it's not pretty at all.
So Qianqian put the book down after reading a few pages. After thinking about it, her eyes lit up, and she stood up and ran to the next room next to the bedroom.
Pushing the door open, there are tall wooden shelves filled with so many books that you can't see the end of them.
It’s very similar to the store where I bought books yesterday.
Qianqian walked up the stairs in front of the bookshelf to look for it.
But I searched for a long time but couldn't find one I liked.
Those books are not good-looking, they are very big and heavy, and there are no pictures in them.
No wonder her sister didn't let her see these.
Qianqian was about to leave in disappointment when she suddenly saw many books with pictures of people printed on them placed on a small table nearby.
She suddenly became happy and ran over excitedly down the ladder.
The book I found was large, with a smooth cover, and was light to hold.
Qianqian was not greedy. From dozens of colorful magazines, she only chose the one with the most attractive characters she thought and went out to read it.
