Mrs. Pei didn't care whether Mr. Pei was willing or not. It seemed like they had found a common topic, or more like they were willing to talk because they had experience.
"Xiao Nuo is my daughter, she is 21 years old this year. She was very quiet and shy when she was young. We were busy at the time and didn't take it seriously. After all, many children are shy when they are young, and it's good for a little girl to be quiet. But we didn't expect that when we found out that the problem was serious, she basically didn't communicate with us, and we didn't even have normal communication."
Sheng An Ning felt a little uncomfortable. Mrs. Pei's daughter's problem was obviously autism, but her Mo Mo was not like that.
Momo still likes to call her mom and ask for a hug, and she also responds to her family members.
So it's quite unprofessional of Mrs. Pei to compare her autistic daughter with Momo.
How can you assume that someone else's child is sick just by looking at him or her?
Zhou Nanguang and Zhong Wenqing did not expect that Mrs. Pei would speak like this, and they naturally felt uncomfortable. Although she was talking about her own daughter, she did mention Mo Mo.
Zhong Wenqing's expression changed instantly, and he looked at Madam Pei unhappily: "Although my Momo is relatively quiet and shy, he can communicate with us. When we call him Momo, he runs very fast, and he is always very affectionate when he sees me."
Mr. Pei was obviously a little angry: "Wenjun! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mrs. Pei realized that she had lost her composure. She sighed and sincerely apologized to Zhong Wenqing and the others, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I just missed my little girl too much recently and I couldn't control myself."
Then, without waiting for Zhong Wenqing and the others to speak, he explained his daughter's matter in detail.
"Xiao Nuo is a very pretty girl. Every time I see a pretty child, I think of my Xiao Nuo. Because she is in poor health and cannot adapt to the climate in Beijing, she has been living in the south with my parents. We were planning to bring her to Beijing these days, but my father called me this morning and said the child had a fever."
As he spoke, the expression on his face was not sadness but embarrassment, as if he was shamed.
Sheng An Ning was a little confused. She was her own biological daughter, and her words and actions showed that she was reluctant to let go, but she didn't have any emotion at all.
Looking at Mr. Pei again, he was obviously unable to stop his wife, so he frowned and said nothing.
There's something a little weird about the couple. Even if the child at home is sick, it wouldn't be appropriate to visit someone else's home for the first time.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
After his wife finished speaking, Mr. Pei turned around and kindly asked Sheng An Ning a few medical questions. He heard Sheng An Ning answer fluently, even some questions that were obviously beyond the scope of her current knowledge, and she answered them clearly and logically.
There was still some surprise in the surprise, and he smiled at Zhou Nanguang: "Not bad, really not bad, it's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead, and talents emerge in every generation."
He also reminded Sheng An Ning to stick to the original intention of a doctor and be a good doctor who cares about his patients.
Although the topic was changed, the subtle and awkward atmosphere was still there. Mr. Pei was too embarrassed to stay for dinner, so he left in a hurry with his wife.
Zhou Nanguang and Sheng An Ning saw them off. As they walked out the door, Zhou Nanguang comforted An Ning, "An Ning, don't take Mrs. Pei's words to heart. Our Mo Mo is fine."
Although everyone noticed that Mo Mo's feelings were a little slow, they were not gone. Especially when it came to Sheng An Ning, he was still very dependent on her and could express his love very directly.
Sheng An Ning nodded: "Dad, our Mo Mo is fine, I will not be affected. Mrs. Pei may be a little out of control because she misses her daughter in the south too much."
This made Zhou Nanguang feel better, after all, he was the one who arranged to invite these people.
…
On the other hand, Mr. Pei was very angry about what his wife said at Zhou's house today. He walked for a while in silence before stopping and turning to look at Mrs. Pei: "Wenjun, you're never like this. What happened today? How can you say that someone's child has a problem?"
Mrs. Pei said, "Xiao Nuo is still in the south, and you promised that we would go to the south after you retire, but now you regret it. You agreed to come to the Zhou family as a guest, which means you still want to stay in Beijing."
Elder Pei felt a little guilty and was silent for a while. "I have to go back and finish the research project at hand. Mrs. Zhou's case is a textbook example. I want to continue my research so that more patients like Mrs. Zhou can receive timely treatment in the future."
Mrs. Pei exploded instantly: "You only care about those patients, but you let my parents, who are in their eighties and almost nineties, take care of a fool. Why?"
"You are so great. If you want to devote your life to medicine, then don't get married and have children. You won't be responsible if you have children anyway. Besides, did you really pick up Xiao Nuo?"
Old Pei had a headache. Looking at his wife who was much younger than him, he knew her grievances very well: "Xiao Nuo is a patient's child, Wenjun, I have already explained this matter. If it really doesn't work, let my parents find someone to send Xiao Nuo back."
Mrs. Pei frowned and said nothing. She said that Pei Nuo's inability to adapt to the south was just an excuse. She just didn't want to see that girl. She always suspected that the child was born from her husband's affair with a female student, but she had no evidence.
Mr. Pei was also very tired. He had been explaining the same thing for many years: "I was only entrusted by someone. Since you said you didn't want to see the child, I agreed to send the child away. I thought you would understand after these years. Forget it, go back first."
Turn around and walk slowly forward.
Mrs. Pei looked at her husband's back. His back was no longer straight, especially in the past two years, as he had been busy with many scientific research projects and looked much older. Her nose felt sore, but she quickly followed him.
…
Sheng An Ning is still very interested in Pei Nuo, mainly because of her illness. In the future, there will be special schools like this to take care of these special children.
These children who belong to the stars need more care and love to guide them to contact and perceive the world little by little.
But conditions are limited now and such children will not receive more care.
What surprised her was that Mr. Pei must have understood all this, but he actually sent the child to the south to let the elderly take care of the child. The child would definitely become more and more autistic.
Zhou Chaoyang didn't understand and was a little curious: "What disease does Pei's little daughter have?"
Zhou Hongyun knew this: "When she was born, her three souls and seven spirits were not complete, so she didn't know anything and was stupid. She ignored you when you talked to her, and didn't respond to her eating or anything like that."
Zhou Chaoyang exclaimed: "Then our Mo Mo definitely won't do that. Look how enthusiastic our Mo Mo is."
Then she called out to Momo, "Momo, come here, come to your aunt."
Mo Mo, who was leaning on Zhong Wenqing's arms, raised her head slowly, glanced at her aunt, and ran towards her mother with her arms outstretched...
