Song Zhi spoke louder than usual. Panpan understood that his mother was blaming him. Tears flashed in his big, bright eyes. He didn't understand why his mother blamed him.
Song Zhi sighed slightly, "Grandma is already very tired after taking care of Panpan all day. Panpan can't treat Grandma like that."
Song Zhi sometimes feels tired when communicating with his child because most of the time he doesn't understand what he is saying.
Seeing Song Zhi's tired face, Gu's mother knew that she had been exhausted all day, so she tried to smooth things over and said, "Zhizhi, you eat first. I'll take Panpan to eat."
Panpan wanted his grandma again at this time. After all, he was very good at reading people's expressions. He knew that his mother was angry, so he looked back at his mother every two steps, and then followed his grandma to the dining table to eat.
Song Zhi saw him looking up at him for a while, and regretted what he had just said. He was just a child, how could he understand?
She thought so in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just ate quietly. After finishing the meal, she asked: "Panpan, do you want to call your father and grandmother?"
When Panpan heard the words "dad" and "grandma", he immediately looked up at his mother and stretched out his little hand to her.
It was more than ten minutes later when the call was finally connected because they had to rush to the communications office to answer the call.
"Zhizhi, why are you calling me so late?" Song's mother thought that she should focus on taking the exams these days and not call home unless necessary.
"I just got home and finished dinner, and thought of calling you." Song Zhi listened to his mother's voice and said coquettishly.
Looking at Panpan who was listening carefully, I taught him to say: "Panpan calls grandma."
"Grandma...Grandma."
"Oh, my dear grandson, grandma misses you so much. Please come back quickly after mom finishes the exam!" Even through the microphone, Song Zhi could imagine the smile on Song's mother's face.
Panpan heard his grandmother's voice coming from this strange thing and tried to grab the microphone anxiously. He didn't have much strength, so Song Zhi didn't dare to hand the microphone to him, but just put it close to his ear.
After hearing what his grandmother said, Panpan turned to look at his mother in confusion, not knowing what she meant. Song Zhi then taught him, "Tell grandma what's going on."
"Okay." A soft and somewhat obedient voice came from Panpan's mouth. He obediently acted like a tape recorder, repeating what his mother had said.
"Be good. Come back in a few days and grandma will make you some delicious food. It will all be what our Panpan likes." Mother Song actually missed Panpan very much. Although she didn't say it, she had thought about it many times in her heart. This was the first time Panpan left her side, and she felt empty in her heart during this period.
"Okay, I'm fine too. I'll let Xiaojin answer the phone." Gu Huaijin stood next to Song's mother, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over the receiver several times. Song's mother couldn't have failed to notice it, and she handed the phone to him with amusement.
"Hello." Gu Huaijin's low voice sounded in the microphone, with a hint of magnetism.
"Dad...car." Panpan was very excited when he heard his father's voice. There seemed to be a lot of words in his eyes, but when it came to his mouth, it became two words. Panpan spoke slower than other children, and now he can't speak coherently, and can only spit out one word at a time.
Gu Huaijin didn't quite understand what he meant, so she asked him in a low voice, "Panpan, where is Mommy?"
Panpan looked at his mother and said to his father again: "Yes."
He probably thought his father was asking if his mother was there.
Song Zhi heard that he had misunderstood the meaning of his words and took over the phone. "Are you busy these days?"
"It's okay, just like usual. What did Panpan mean just now?" Gu Huaijin was not with them, so he was naturally curious about their experiences.
"Nothing. Mom bought some toy cars for Panpan. He must be telling you that he has cars." Song Zhi translated what Panpan said for him.
Panpan stood aside with shining eyes, leaning towards the microphone held by his mother, wanting to hear what his father said.
Gu Huaijin suddenly realized that he had no shortage of these toys when he was young, but his son seemed to have never played with any toys since he was a child, and he didn't even have any proper toys for boys. He suddenly felt that he had failed in his duty as a father.
Originally, he had been thinking about asking Song Zhi and the others to come back quickly after the exam, but now he was no longer in a hurry to have them come back. "After the exam, you two can go shopping and buy some toys for Panpan."
Song Zhi hummed softly, muttering, "You're such a good father, can't I just remember that?"
Gu Huaijin listened to her accusing words and chuckled softly from the opposite side, "These are all bought by Panpan's mother. I just said it casually."
Song Zhi felt a little embarrassed, and felt that he was being unreasonable. He looked at Gu's parents who were watching TV seriously and said softly: "It's getting late. I won't talk to you anymore."
"Okay, go to bed early and don't sleep too late." Gu Huaijin instructed on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, I'm hanging up." Song Zhi responded softly and hung up the phone.
Song Zhi put Panpan back on the carpet. Gu's mother watched from the side while Song Zhi went upstairs to take a hot bath.
After Song Zhi went upstairs, Gu's mother said, "I really didn't realize that our son could also coax people."
Father Gu didn't even turn his head, still staring at the TV, but said seriously: "The children are talking on the phone, don't eavesdrop."
He spoke so righteously that if Mother Gu hadn't known that he was listening, she would have thought he was a serious old father. She just glanced at him lightly, and everything was said without words.
"Next time when the kids are talking on the phone, don't stretch your ears to listen. Just go stay in the yard." Mother Gu said viciously. Look at what he can do.
Father Gu choked and said awkwardly, "This isn't very good."
"Tsk, I think you are two-faced." Mother Gu glanced at him from head to toe and commented.
"Comrade Jiang Nan, you have to be reasonable when you speak." This was probably the most unpleasant thing Gu's father had ever said.
Panpan, who was standing nearby, heard the two people seem to be arguing, so he quickly got up, staggered over to the two people, and taught them anxiously like a little adult: "No... don't argue."
Mother Gu was startled. In the blink of an eye, he walked to her side and she hurriedly supported his little body for fear that he would fall.
What was Gu's father's reaction? It was normal for children to fall and stand up again. On the contrary, Gu's mother's behavior was a bit too alarming. He was tactful and didn't say anything. After all, Gu's mother was in a bad mood because of what he had said just now, so it was better for him not to add fuel to the fire.
"Stop making a noise, grandpa and grandma are talking!" Mother Gu always responded to Panpan's requests, and at this moment, she had already thrown away her anger.
