Ning Ning returned home crying.
As soon as I entered the door, I burst into tears.
"I won't grow up."
The elders in the family were immediately shocked.
Mr. Xu had just returned home, and before the stool was warm, he walked over quickly: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Ning Ning said: "I finished eating the starry sky candy."
When he heard that she had finished eating the starry sky candy, Xu Yanzhao, who was caring about his sister, opened his cold and distant eyes, and his eyelashes as long as butterfly wings trembled a few times.
There are so many starry sky candies, have you eaten them all?
Subconsciously, he stretched out his slender, snow-white hand, which was pretty and beautiful, and pinched Ning Ning's chin with his neatly manicured fingertips.
Ning Ning: "Guo Guo, what are you doing?"
The cold fingertips were stained with a little crimson, like beautiful crimson jade.
The owner of the finger said in a voice as cold as snow and fog: "The tooth is going to break."
Ning Ning kept her "duck mouth" posture and waved her hands repeatedly: "From the Eighth Meeting."
There was a gentle smile in that voice, as moving as the red plum blossoms blooming on a cold winter day.
"It's broken... I need to see a dentist."
Ning Ning suddenly got goosebumps: "Ou can't stand the dentist."
Xu Yanzhao changed his clothes and walked down the stairs. Passing by Ning Ning, he patted his brother's hand away and touched Ning Ning's head: "Speak well."
"I don't go to the dentist."
Ning Ning rubbed her cheeks and said loudly that her head could be severed or bleeding, but the dentist would not care!
"Eat less sugar and remember to brush your teeth before going to bed."
Xu Yanzhao adjusted his cuffs, buttoned the sapphire cuffs upstairs, took a long step forward, and walked toward the door.
Ning Ning chased after him, with tears on her face: "Where are you going?"
"We have a party tonight."
Xu Yanzhao stopped at the door, turned around and knelt down, took out a clean handkerchief and wiped her face with gentle and careful movements: "I won't be eating at home."
Ning Ning obediently raised her face, as cute as a little kitten with a painted face, and muttered: "I finished eating the starry sky candies, but I haven't grown up yet, so my brother lied."
"Okay, brother lied."
Xu Yanzhao handed the veil to the maid and admitted that he was lying.
Ning Ning's eyes widened in disbelief: "You actually admitted it?"
Xu Yanzhao raised his eyebrows: "Don't you like the "cheating" Brother Zhao?"
Ning Ning puffed up her cheeks and thought for a while, then shook her head: "No matter what Brother Zhao looks like, I still like Brother Zhao."
The smile on Xu Yanzhao's face gradually brightened, and he stretched out his hand to pinch Ning Ning's little face: "Hey, this is called a white lie."
"But I want to grow up."
Ning Ning was still unhappy.
Xu Yanzhao asked her: "Why are you so anxious to grow up?"
Ning Ning answered him: "As an adult, you can do many, many things." She straightened her belly and patted her flesh: "As an adult, you can eat delicious food and don't need to see a dentist."
Only adults have the right to refuse to see a dentist.
Children will be taken to the dentist by their parents.
It's a pity that Ningning's children don't know that adults who don't want to see the dentist always put off going to the dentist tomorrow. It doesn't hurt anyway, so they can wait until the pain subsides. If it hurts, they can't extract the tooth, so they can wait until it heals.
Procrastination day after day.
Commonly known as: A dead duck has a tough mouth.
So everyone discussed it and decided to fulfill Ning Ning's wish to become an adult.
"Starting from tomorrow, you will be an adult for a day."
Parents tell their children this.
The child was so happy that he jumped high on the spot: "Okay~~"
The next day is Friday.
Ning Ning got up and found that the housekeeper's aunt and sisters were not there.
"elder sister?"
"Aunt?"
As soon as I opened the door, there was a beautiful sister at the door, with a gentle smile: "Good morning, Miss Ningning."
"Good morning sister."
Ning Ning stretched out her chubby hand towards her sister, waiting for her sister to change her clothes, tie her hair, brush her teeth and wash her face.
The beautiful sister bent down and rejected Ning Ning: "Miss Ning Ning, you have to do it yourself."
Ning Ning was shocked and opened her mouth: "Why?"
Beautiful sister: "Because Miss Ningning is an "adult" today. An adult can brush her teeth, wash her face, tie her hair and change her clothes."
Okay, Ning Ning nodded: "Yes, I am an adult today."
Wearing small slippers, she ran to the bathroom, hummed and hummed to bring a small bench to step on, brushing her teeth and washing her face in front of the big mirror.
Brushing your teeth and washing your face is easy.
When she was in Majiatun, Jiang Yufen encouraged her children to do things by themselves.
But later on, Mr. Xu and his brothers pampered the child more and more, thinking that as long as the child has a good character, everything else doesn't matter.
Stepping on the small bench, holding the small children's toothbrush, brushing left and right, taking a big mouthful of mouthwash and slurping.
"Um?"
A grunt.
Swallow it subconsciously.
There was a faint smell of strawberry milk toothpaste in his mouth, and the child on the small stool was suddenly confused: Where can I take such a big mouthwash?
Oh, I drank it.
That's okay...
Then something is wrong.
"Wow wow wow wow."
"Dad."
A shrill cry rang out early in the morning. The adults who were having breakfast downstairs and discussing whether Ning Ning's performance would go well today all stood up.
"Calm down, calm down, don't forget that Ning Ning is an adult today."
Mr. Xu's words made everyone sit back on the leather chairs again.
"Grandpa."
Running hard with her short legs, Ning Ning plunged into her grandfather's arms, her big eyes filled with tears: "I swallowed the mouthwash."
Grandpa will definitely comfort himself.
But instead of comforting himself as usual, grandpa pushed her away.
Ning Ning was pushed away: "???"
Oh my god, how could grandpa push away his cute little granddaughter?
Ningning burst into tears: "Am I not your favorite Zaizai?"
"No, of course you are my favorite cub." Mr. Xu didn't dare to look at her tearful look, for fear that he would become soft-hearted the next second and said: "But today you are an adult. As an adult, you cannot follow others casually. Coquettish."
"Why can't adults act like a spoiled child?"
"Because adults have to learn to be strong and independent. Even if they endure hardships and hardships, they will not speak out easily."
Grandpa said earnestly: "Look at mom, dad, grandparents, do they never shed tears in front of children?"
"seems like it……"
In Ning Ning's memory, neither her father nor mother complained about anything in front of her. No matter how hard or tired they were, they would always have a gentle smile when they came home.
Is this how strong adults are?
so hard.
Why do people need to learn to be strong when they grow up?
Obviously when I was a child, I could cry and act coquettishly without restraint. If I fell, there would be adults to help me up. If I didn’t want to eat, there would be adults to coax and feed me. If I was sick, there would be adults to take care of me.
But will it disappear when you grow up?
Ning Ning suddenly felt that growing up was a little bit bad.
Yes, just a little bit.
