Chapter 343 Red Eyes
Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Jiang Rou, then at Zhou Xiaohua, and shook his head.
"I'm not hurt."
"How can you not feel pain when you're injured? Besides, the wound is so close to your eyes. What if your eyes are injured? Our Xiaochuan is so amazing. He might become a sniper or a pilot in the future. Vision is the most important thing."
Jiang Rou was still worried.
"Wipe it first, and then apply some medicine later. Be careful these few days and don't let it come into contact with sweat, otherwise it will hurt."
The cool towel was still gently wiping Zhou Xiaochuan's face.
What he felt was not the coolness of the towel, but a burning heat in his heart.
When Jiang Rou said this, it was like lighting a torch in his heart.
After the two children washed their hands.
Jiang Rou wiped their hands carefully again.
She lowered her head, her beautiful face bent, her skin was fair and delicate, and her eyes were gentle and clear.
When the wind from the electric fan blew on her, her long black hair fluttered gently beside her cheeks.
Deep in Zhou Xiaochuan's dark pupils, something was melting silently.
He whispered, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Rou raised her bright eyes, "Why do you want to apologize?"
“I did something wrong.”
"What did you do wrong? Was it because you protected Xiaohua? Or was it because you beat Wang Fugui?"
Jiang Rou did not use a blaming tone, but asked Zhou Xiaochuan slowly in her usual gentle and calm voice.
Zhou Xiaochuan stood there, looking at Jiang Rou, thinking silently.
then.
He shook his head.
Even if it happened again today, he would still rush over without hesitation and beat Wang Fugui up severely.
He will still do this!
Jiang Rou put down the towel in her hand and talked to Zhou Xiaochuan seriously.
"So... Xiaochuan, you are absolutely right. You don't need to apologize. On the contrary, I think you did a good and brave thing."
She reached out and stroked Zhou Xiaochuan's soft hair.
Affirmed once again.
"Xiaochuan, you did a great job."
The corners of Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes suddenly turned red.
A wave of heat was rushing up into his nostrils.
He lowered his head and blinked rapidly, trying hard to dispel the moisture.
A hoarse response.
"Um……"
"Silly child, just do what you want to do and leave the rest to the adults."
Jiang Rou rubbed Zhou Xiaochuan's hair heavily again, then stood up.
"Xiaochuan, Xiaohua, did you guys not have enough for lunch? What do you want to eat? The weather is so hot, how about some cold noodles with cucumber shreds and tomatoes, and an egg? What do you think..."
Jiang Rou walked into the kitchen with ease.
Everything seemed to have returned to its most normal state.
Jiang Rou knew that Zhou Xiaochuan was strong-willed, so she deliberately avoided his emotional moments.
Zhou Xiaohua realized this.
Instead, she lowered her head out of curiosity and took a closer look.
[Brother, your eyes are wet, are you crying? ]
"No, I didn't cry."
[If you are not crying, why are your eyes red? Is the wound painful? ]
"No, I don't feel any pain."
[No, Mom said you are in pain. Everyone will feel pain when they are injured.]
"Mom, she was wrong..."
The words came out of his mouth.
By the time Zhou Xiaochuan realized it, the word "mother" had already been attached to Jiang Rou.
It’s mom…
————————————————————————————
The mother and her two children had a snack for lunch.
The sour and sweet cold noodles are especially delicious and can make the hot summer weather disappear completely.
After eating, lie down on the cool mat.
Wearing a vest and shorts, you can roll around as much as you want, it's the most comfortable.
Jiang Rou was a little worried about Zhou Xiaohua. After all, she saw what happened today with her own eyes, and the shock must have been quite big.
It turns out that this child is really timid, but he also has a really big heart.
Had lunch and changed clothes.
He then pulled Jiang Rou to apply some smooth anti-powder, and she felt very happy.
Jiang Rou asked.
"Xiaohua, do you still want to go to school tomorrow?"
Zhou Xiaohua just thought about it briefly and nodded.
She is going!
Although there are bad people in school, I also have good friends and an older brother. It's more fun than at home.
The little girl's courage is just hidden a little deeper.
This also made Jiang Rou feel a lot more at ease.
She held a fan, sat cross-legged on the bed, and fanned herself gently.
Zhou Xiaochuan had already laid down, but suddenly sat up again.
He said to Jiang Rou with a serious face.
"Xiaohua can speak. I heard it."
Jiang Rou was surprised, "Xiaohua is talking again? When did it happen?"
"It was noon. She called me brother, and I heard it."
Zhou Xiaochuan was afraid that Jiang Rou would not believe it, so he repeated it firmly again.
Zhou Xiaohua was touching the prickly heat powder on her neck.
It's fragrant, powdery, smooth and very comfortable.
She was having fun when Zhou Xiaochuan suddenly pulled her back.
"Xiaohua, come here and call me brother."
Zhou Xiaohua looked left and right in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
Zhou Xiaochuan once again spoke seriously.
"Xiaohua, just like in the classroom, you call me brother, come on, open your mouth——"
Zhou Xiaohua opened her mouth obediently.
"Xiaohua, call me brother. Gege——gege——look at my mouth and learn from me——gege——gege——"
Zhou Xiaochuan taught diligently and conscientiously.
Zhou Xiaohua also studies hard and seriously.
She can hear sounds and could speak when she was a child, so she subconsciously knows where the vocal cavity is.
【gege——】
Zhou Xiaohua's mouth moved, forming the shape of the word "brother".
but.
Quiet.
No sound came out.
Zhou Xiaochuan still didn't give up.
He took Zhou Xiaohua's hand and placed it on his neck, where the vocal cords were.
That's where you can feel the vibration of your vocal cords.
"Brother, brother. Xiaohua, did you hear that? It's brother, let's say it together, it's brother."
【gege……gege……】
Zhou Xiaohua opened her mouth hard and wanted to speak seriously.
She wanted to speak, too.
No one laughed at her and called her a little dumb when she spoke.
The little girl didn't really understand nothing. She knew what dumb meant and could understand other people's ridicule.
But if she is sad, her brother will be sad, her mother will be sad, and her father will be sad too.
So she couldn't be sad.
Even though she couldn't speak, her brother and mother could understand her.
So always be happy and cheerful.
But, at this moment.
The little girl felt Zhou Xiaochuan's persistence and Jiang Rou's expectant eyes.
She opened her mouth again and again, with great effort.
Speak!
She wants to speak!
She can talk!
Zhou Xiaohua began to become anxious, her little face almost wrinkled with pain.
Seeing this, Jiang Rou hurriedly spoke out to stop it.
"Xiaochuan, it's okay, Xiaohua, don't force it."
Zhou Xiaochuan insisted, "Xiaohua really can speak, I heard it! I didn't lie."
"I know you're not lying. I know Xiaohua can talk because I've heard it too."
Jiang Rou said this.
Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua's eyes all fell on her.
Shocked!
Surprise!
Zhou Xiaochuan: She actually heard of it?!
Zhou Xiaohua: When did she speak?!
