She wiped away the tears on her face: "Grandpa, I swallowed the mouthwash, what should I do?"
"When adults are sick, you should go to the doctor yourself."
Mr. Xu gave some advice: "You can ask our private doctor to come over for a check-up, but you have to make the call yourself, because adults are all independent."
Mr. Xu gave the family doctor’s phone number.
Ning Ning sat on the sofa, holding her small mobile phone and making a call obediently.
The call was answered quickly.
Ning Ning told the doctor on the phone that she was sick and could she ask the doctor for a checkup.
There are three doctors living in the mountainside villa area, responsible for examinations in different departments.
After a while, the doctor uncle came over carrying a medical box.
The other party was wearing the same white coat as the dentist, and Ning Ning was startled when he walked in.
Wait for her to take another look, and another look.
It turns out he's not Mr. Dentist.
Little Claws patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Ning Ning was scared to death."
The uncle doctor asked Ning Ning with a smile if anything was wrong, and asked someone to bring the toothpaste for swallowing, pointing to a line on it: "It says swallowable, it is a swallowable baby toothpaste developed by Xu Group, it is to prevent A careless and cute baby like you swallowed it.”
Ning Ning's little face turned red: "I'm not a baby, I'm an adult."
After a pause: "I don't know this line of writing."
Next to him, Father Su interjected: "Sir, you don't know this line of writing."
Now that China has become rich and powerful, nine-year compulsory education has blossomed everywhere, in every corner of the motherland, whether it is at the foot of the remote and lonely snow-capped mountains, deep in the remote and muddy mountains, or the scattered two or three households on Guayu Island hanging offshore. There is school and books to read.
Therefore, there are very few people in China who are illiterate.
Ning Ning said "Abba, Abba, Abba": "It's so hard to be an adult."
Saying goodbye to the doctor uncle, Ning Ning went to school by car.
As soon as he entered the classroom door, he attracted several looks.
"Ning Ning, why don't you comb your hair?"
Zhang Manya was the first to ask loudly.
Ning Ning was wearing a messy dress. The starlight dress from the children's clothing that was the finale of the Paris Starlight Show was wrinkled. Her hair, which was usually neatly combed, was as messy as a chicken coop. Two strands of hair stood up in dissatisfaction.
She sighed deeply: "Because I am an adult today."
Adults know how to comb their hair, so she has to comb her hair herself.
The problem is that she really doesn't know how.
"I really envy you, you can be an adult for a day."
The children were very envious of Ning Ning. They gathered around Ning Ning and asked her what it felt like to be an adult.
Ning Ning thought about what happened in the morning and sighed: "It always feels very hard."
Return home after school in the afternoon.
Dad is not at home tonight.
The chef uncles prepared dinner.
Ning Ning was originally sitting on the exclusive small chair, waiting for the meal as usual, but brother Yan Zhao pulled her off the small chair: "Sir, you need to go to the kitchen to help get the bowls."
Ning Ning looked in disbelief: "Brother, is our family bankrupt?"
Already reduced to taking matters into your own hands?
Xu Yanzhao choked and used all the excuses: "But you are an adult, and an adult has to work."
Ning Ning: "..."
Cry.
After a while, she staggered out of the kitchen holding several beautiful bowls, and stood on her tiptoes to distribute the bowls to everyone.
The bowl was azure in color, and it happened to be the same batch cast by Wang Kiln in Jinglan Town.
Things coming out of Wang Kiln are worth a lot of money.
Those with quotas and qualifications either want vases or exquisite porcelain.
The only thing they happened to lack was a set of the most exquisite porcelain bowls, so they simply wanted a set of bowls.
This set of bowls is heavy and generous.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, bowl."
Ning Ning handed a bowl to Xu Yanzhao, and then handed a bowl to Xu Yanming on her left.
The two brothers smiled and said, "Thank you."
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, sat back on the stool, and raised her sore little hands: "Brother, aren't you afraid that I will drop the bowl?"
The bowl was old and heavy.
She walked unsteadily and had to stare at her feet for fear of dropping the beautiful bowl.
Xu Yanzhao replied nonchalantly: "It's okay. We also have glass ones, gold and silver ones, and various styles. There are more than a dozen sets for you to throw around and play with."
Why so many bowls!
Not happy.
Ning Ning, a child holding a small bowl to eat, was full of tears.
I took a shower by myself at night. I finally climbed out of the big bathtub and stepped on a stool to grab a towel. I was in a hurry.
When I put on my nightgown and came out, it felt like I had a fight with my friend in the bathtub. I couldn't tell whether I had taken a bath or not. My wet hair mixed with the sweat dripped on my eyelids. Soreness, swelling and pain.
"Auntie."
Ning Ning grabbed two handfuls of chicken coop heads, feeling tired and wanting to cry.
My hair was wet, and my body was sticky, as if I hadn't washed it thoroughly after taking a shower. My feet stepped on a pool of water that had flowed out, and the whole little slipper was wet.
The whole situation is a mess.
A messy mess.
The housekeeper's aunt who heard the call came in: "Miss Ningning."
The embarrassed Ning Ning had a very sweet tone and a very sincere expression: "Auntie, Ning Ning needs your help."
The housekeeper's expression was silent for two seconds, and she refused with determination: "I'm sorry, Miss Ningning, you can take a bath, comb your hair, and deal with your own life. I can't help you today."
"ah……"
The sky fell at this moment.
Her vision went dark, and Ning Ning's tears fell down her crystal-clear jade cheeks, but no one came to comfort her.
She wiped her tears with her dirty pajama sleeves and cried like a pitiful stray puppy.
"Okay, thank you, aunt."
Choking back tears, I politely thanked you.
The housekeeper's aunt closed the door and subconsciously covered her aching heart.
I feel like I am bullying my own children and have a bad conscience.
Turning around, he met six pairs of nervous and questioning eyes.
From left to right are: Mr. Xu, Butler Xu, Xu Yanzhao, Xu Yanming, Su Jianguo and Taoist Li who is watching the fun.
A pair of eyes filled with worry and reluctance for Ning Ning.
The housekeeper couldn't help but ask: "Since you are worried about this child, why do you let her come by herself?"
Mr. Xu was silent for a moment and replied: "I just want to tell her that she will face many difficulties when she grows up, and she doesn't need to rush to grow up."
The housekeeper sighed, said nothing more, turned and left.
There was a rustling sound of insects outside, and the spring breeze was still strong, rustling the leaves. It rained lightly again in the evening, and the drops fell on the leaves, which made people feel scared and uneasy.
When it rained before, a beautiful sister would coax her to sleep.
But no sister came to put her to sleep today.
