Chapter 4431 Changes before and after
"It's so dazzling..."
"Or let's say that the child experienced the death of a family member for the first time..."
“It’s normal to feel down.”
"But how many days have passed?"
The old lady shook her head in disapproval
"That kid Lele still looks a little...gloomy."
"Lele was obviously not like this before."
"And, I discovered..."
"Lele's parents' attitude towards Lele has become worse."
……
"Bad?"
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
……
"Yeah."
The old lady nodded.
"They don't allow Lele to go out casually."
"Lele is not allowed to talk to others."
"Of course."
"It is right to educate children not to talk to strangers casually."
"But how many years have the old lady been their neighbor?"
"We're not strangers anymore, are we?"
"That day, I stopped the child and wanted to ask him how he was doing..."
"I can't bear to see the child's lifeless look."
"As a result, I just said a few words, and the child's mother came over in a hurry."
"You still asked the child with a fierce look if he said anything strange to me?"
"The child shook her head, she still didn't believe it."
"And told me not to believe what the child said."
"Does it look familiar?"
The old lady looked at Xiao Xiao.
"Yes."
"The child's mother also said the same thing to you just now."
"I'm weird."
"I was also a little frightened by the mother's extreme reaction."
"I asked her, did she think the child would say something strange to me?"
"She told me it was nothing, took the child and left."
"She walked in a hurry."
"Obviously the force on the hand was too strong and it hurt the child."
"But she didn't realize it."
“Still scolding the children along the way.”
"I feel sorry for that child."
The old lady frowned.
"But the old man asked me to stay out of other people's affairs."
"No one has allowed their children to lack food and clothing. How to discipline their children is their own business."
"But I just feel weird..."
The old lady shook her head in confusion.
"It's okay if you say that the child's parents have always been like this."
"But they were clearly not like this before..."
"Why did you go home and come back like this?"
"It's like suddenly finding out that the child is not their child-"
"Bah, bah."
The old lady immediately stuck out her tongue.
"What are you talking about?"
She explained to the young man in front of her, "I just said it casually."
"Don't take it seriously."
….
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
"I won't."
……
The old lady was relieved.
She shook her head.
"Maybe I really think too much."
"I hope there is just a conflict between their parents and their children."
"After a while..."
Tsk.
It's been quite some time.
She still saw no change.
"They will make peace."
Is it the child who made his parents angry?
Is there anything worth being angry about for two adults to have a baby for so long?
Didn’t she say...
The two adults were a bit stingy.
Why bother with a child?
Still his own child.
….
Can't figure it out.
I really can’t figure it out.
The old lady reached out and touched her temple.
"...I haven't seen that child smile for a long time."
"I asked that kid too."
When the child came back from school, she stopped the child.
"I asked the child what was unhappy about him?"
She got straight to the point.
She was afraid that her children would not understand the roundabout way.
Moreover, time was tight, and she was worried that if she delayed, the child's father or mother would come back, and the child would be taken away.
There was no answer to her question.
……
The old lady frowned, recalling the child's behavior at that time.
"The child shook his head..."
But she didn't believe it.
The child obviously looked worried.
She asks the child not to lie to her.
She really wants to help the kids.
……pity.
The old lady's good intentions were in vain.
The child told her nothing.
The child gave her a smile.
Said he was fine.
……
The child's mother is back.
Speaking of which...
After the child's parents came back from their hometown that time, they seemed to come back from get off work much earlier.
Do not let your children stay alone for too long after school.
….
The old lady looked at the departing figures of the big one and the small one, feeling uncertain in her heart.
Could it be...
It’s really like what the old man said...
She thinks too much.
……
The old lady shook her head.
Regardless of whether she thinks too much...
After all, she could only watch other people's housework.
Especially when no one wants her to do anything.
There was nothing she could do.
……
The old lady told herself not to pay too much attention to the child's affairs.
Don't overthink it.
Slowly, she will get used to the child's current appearance...
And forget what he was like before.
…..
However, after meeting a young man who received similar treatment as she received from the mother of her child, the old lady's desire to talk increased.
……
She talked a lot.
Talk about your findings.
Talk about your doubts.
Talk about the changes in the child before and after.
Talk about the changes in the child’s parents before and after.
……
"...I hope I am overthinking everything..."
The old lady smiled.
"Oops."
The old lady shook her head.
"Excuse me, young man."
"I've been talking to you for so long."
……
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
"No."
……
"Let's go."
The old lady waved her hand at Xiao Xiao.
She looked up at the sky.
"The rain is getting heavier and heavier."
"Thank you for sending Lele that kid back."
"Thank you."
"You should go home quickly."
……
"Okay."
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
"I'm leaving."
Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the old lady.
……
"Goodbye."
The old lady watched with a smile as the young man disappeared around the corner.
She turned her head and glanced in the direction of Lele's house.
Soon, she shook her head and walked into the house.
The door closed behind her.
……
Now that he has an umbrella, Xiao Xiao plans to walk back to school.
The rain was quite heavy.
It made a crisp sound when hitting the umbrella.
Splashes of water splashed on the asphalt road.
Compared with the hurried pace of most pedestrians, Xiao Xiao's pace was neither urgent nor slow.
Showing a sense of leisure.
……
Although it was a bit heavy for a walk in the rain.
It lacks the hazy and soft flavor.
The roaring momentum seems to be urging people to move quickly.
However, Xiao Xiao felt that walking in the rain had a different flavor.
The heavy rain separated everyone.
There is a world under the umbrella.
There was only the sound of wind and rain in my ears, and other sounds were very far away, faintly visible, as if they were separated by a layer of something.
Especially suitable for people who enjoy solitude.
The air with abundant water vapor and a hint of coolness also makes people feel extremely comfortable.
……
Xiao Xiao bought a bag of grilled sausages and returned to the dormitory.
……
As soon as Xiao Xiao entered the dormitory, Zhuge Yun exclaimed, "It smells so good."
"Lao San, what did you buy?"
……
"It's grilled sausage."
Zhao Luzheng saw the bag in Xiao Xiao's hand.
