An An was very nervous. The elder sister was staring at the radish in her hand as if she wanted to snatch it away. She quickly took a bite and stuffed the remaining radish in her little hand into her mouth, covering her mouth with her two little hands.
Sheng An Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. An An was very good at protecting her food.
He looked at Pei Nuo again, and guessed that he picked up a piece of radish and put it to her mouth, just to test it.
Unexpectedly, Pei Nuo actually opened his mouth and ate, looking at An An while eating.
Old Pei was shocked. In just two days, Pei Nuo had changed so much!
How could she have reacted before? Even if she could understand, she would not respond to anyone.
Sheng An Ning was also a little surprised. Pei Nuo's reaction reminded her of her father's words. Could it be that Pei Nuo had really suffered some kind of trauma when he was a child, so he never spoke again.
He took the opportunity to feed Pei Nuo a dumpling, and then asked Pei Lao: "Was Xiao Nuo okay when he was a child? Did anything happen to him later?"
Elder Pei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "No, Xiaonuo has been like this since she was young. Other children would talk a lot when they were two or three years old, but Xiaonuo still refused to speak. She didn't respond when we talked to her. At first, some people said that children who talk late are blessed. But I'm a doctor, I know something is wrong with her, but I just can't find the cause."
"Over the years, she would occasionally get a bit mad, but she was quiet most of the time. She has never had such big and obvious mood swings like these past two days."
Sheng An Ning was even more puzzled. Looking at Pei Nuo, she thought to herself that she should let her father see Pei Nuo later to confirm her condition.
Little An An is also a party-shy person. When an older sister competes with her for food, she eats even faster and with great relish. Her little mouth makes smacking sounds, and ordinary cabbage becomes a delicacy in her mouth.
Sheng An Ning also had an idea. She decided to feed Pei Nuo the same thing she fed An An.
Pei Nuo kept staring at An An, and she would happily accept anything An An ate.
The meal was a very happy and harmonious one.
Mr. Pei was also extremely pleased and kept thanking Sheng An Ning.
Sheng An Ning felt embarrassed: "Teacher, I didn't do anything, so don't be so polite. Maybe Pei Nuo and I are destined to be together. If possible, I also hope that Xiao Nuo will be better."
Old Pei sighed: "Yes, if she can be better, I don't ask her to be like a normal child, as long as she can take care of herself. This way I can rest assured even after a hundred years."
This is also what he is most worried about. His grandparents are old and they don’t have much time to accompany Pei Nuo. He is also old and definitely cannot accompany Pei Nuo until old age.
After he left, his wife did not treat Pei Nuo well. The two married daughters already had a lot of dissatisfaction with their younger sister. Because of Pei Nuo, the other two children received less care.
The two daughters naturally had some dissatisfaction when they were young, and even had some hatred towards this younger sister. They gave her all the delicious food at home, and gave Pei Nuo some meat tickets during the Chinese New Year first.
Every month, Mr. Pei would send his food coupons to his grandmother so that Pei Nuo could buy white flour and rice.
But in Beijing, they eat coarse grains.
So after the two daughters got married, they still had complaints about Mr. Pei, and they ignored Pei Nuo. Just like this Chinese New Year, when they knew that Pei Nuo was brought back, the two daughters came over for dinner on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
He came empty-handed and left immediately after eating.
Use actions to resist Mr. Pei’s bias.
So Old Pei knew that if he died, no one would be able to protect Pei Nuo, leaving behind such a silly child, which would be very pitiful.
You may even starve to death.
Now seeing that Pei Nuo actually relied on Sheng An Ning, a despicable idea came to his mind. If he died, perhaps he could entrust Pei Nuo to Sheng An Ning.
It can be seen that Sheng Anning's family are all very kind.
Mr. Pei concealed his thoughts very well. After dinner, he wanted to take Pei Nuo away.
Pei Nuo behaved abnormally again, gripping the edge of the table tightly with his hands, and refused to let go no matter what Pei Lao said. Because of the force, his fingernails turned white, and the protruding parts of his finger bones also changed color, and they were trembling slightly.
You can tell at first glance that he is trying very hard.
Although Mr. Pei had the idea of entrusting Pei Nuo to the Zhou family, that was after he died and no one would take care of Pei Nuo. As it is now, he was embarrassed to leave Pei Nuo in the Zhou family.
She discussed with Pei Nuo in a very good manner: "It's getting late now, shall we go home first? We can come back to see Sister An Ning when we have time later, okay?"
Pei Nuo remained motionless, his fingers still tightly gripping the edge of the table.
Zhong Wenqing hadn't reacted yet, so he asked Sheng Anning: "What do you mean, little girl? Don't you want to go home?"
Sheng Anning nodded: "It should be."
Zhong Wenqing was generous: "Then let her stay. There is a place for her to stay at home. If she goes back, won't there be anyone to play with her? Then let the child stay at my house for two days. If you are worried, you can come and see her during the day."
Mr. Pei was embarrassed: "How can I feel embarrassed about that? I'd better take her back and come to visit again when I have the chance."
Zhong Wenqing looked at Pei Nuo who was leaning on the edge of the table and pursing her lips tightly, and felt sympathy for her: "It's rare for her to have someone she likes, so just let her stay. Didn't you just say that she had a big reaction after meeting An Ning? Maybe staying at my house for two days will make her feel better."
"I think this child is just too lonely."
Sheng Anning also agreed with Zhong Wenqing's statement: "Teacher, let Xiaonuo stay at my house for a day. My family is big and lively. Let's see if she will change. Maybe this is a turning point. What if Xiaonuo suddenly gets wise?"
Old Pei opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute. He also wanted Pei Nuo to become better.
She was no longer polite and thanked Zhong Wenqing and Sheng Anning repeatedly: "Thank you so much, I don't know what to say. Don't worry, I will definitely not let Xiao Nuobai live in your house."
Although the Zhou family is well off, that is because there are many people in the family who earn money and receive salaries. How can he take advantage of this for no reason?
After being polite, Mr. Pei touched the top of Pei Nuo's head again and said, "Okay, I won't force you to go home with me, but you have to be obedient here, go to the toilet with Sister An Ning, and don't lose your temper with the kids."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow, okay?"
Pei Nuo's expression did not react, but his fingers slowly relaxed.
Obviously he understood what Mr. Pei said.
Sheng An Ning was very surprised and felt that if this continued, Pei Nuo might speak to someone, even just a word.
Old Pei gave Pei Nuo repeated instructions before leaving with great concern.
When Sheng An Ning came back after seeing Mr. Pei off, she saw Zhou Hongyun and Zhong Wenqing sitting on either side of Pei Nuo, both of them chatting with Pei Nuo enthusiastically.
Pei Nuo placed his hands on his knees and looked ahead obediently, and it was unclear whether he heard what the two said.
