"Grandma, why are you sighing?"
Yoyo sat on the high stool next to the kitchen counter, dangling her calves, waiting for her Honey Bean Osmanthus Double Skin Milk.
But grandma sighed several times, and Yoyo was very puzzled.
"Hey—" Luo Biying stroked Yoyo's little head, "We, Yoyo, look much prettier than your mother when she was young."
"Hey hey, really?"
"Really, it's this IQ, which seems to be not half as high as your mother's."
"...Grandma, you scolded me again."
Luo Biying didn't take the old Taoist's words to heart at first, but it was hard not to think about it because a good man counted her marriage as a corrupt official.
But even if she wants to explain some reasoning to Yoyo, with Yoyo's current thinking ability, the possibility of understanding is very small.
Luo Biying thought for a while, no matter what the reason, petting is the end of it!
Based on the family background of the Gu family, it is not difficult to raise a little girl who is rich and precious. If it weren't for Gu Qizhou and Yu Lan's couple who are not flamboyant nouveau riche, you can buy any jewelry and diamonds you want by basket.
If she had been pampered since she was a child, how could she be cheated by a little favor from a man
The more Luo Biying thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, so she immediately said to Yoyo:
"Hey, from today on, grandma will buy you whatever you want, okay?"
The surprise came too suddenly, Yoyo was excited for a while, and after the excitement passed, she fell into a daze again:
"Yes, yes... But grandma, I don't have anything to buy."
Yu Lan bought a lot of nice little dresses for her, and there are new ones every season, even if she tried one by one, she was exhausted.
She also has a series of Barbie dolls, and she doesn't need to mention them. Gu Qizhou's assistant will buy them for her as soon as they are new.
It can be said that she has never been short of material things since she was a child, and she has almost no time to think "I really want this", because she only needs to look at it twice, and her family will buy it for her.
Luo Biying seemed to have thought of this too, and after thinking for a while, she said:
"... Then your favorite candy?"
Yoyo's eyes lit up.
"...and your favorite strawberry milk?"
Yoyo's eyes are brighter like small light bulbs.
The grandma, who spoils her granddaughter without a bottom line, said:
"Okay, starting today, you are sugar free!"
Yoyo excitedly raised his arms and shouted.
So when Gu Miaomiao and Shen Jichuan came home from school that day, as soon as they entered the door, they caught a child who was holding a candy jar and putting candies into his mouth one by one while watching TV.
The cartoon Yoyo likes to watch is playing on the TV, and a row of empty strawberry milk jars are placed on the table in front of her.
She was thirsty after eating sweets, so she casually picked up the strawberry milk at hand, took a sip, and let out a comfortable "hey-".
This is the image of a big man drinking beer and watching a football game.
"Yo Yo." Gu Miaomiao said in a bad tone, "What are you doing?"
Gu Qizhou and Yu Lan are not at home, she has not rented a house for three days.
Yoyo, who was watching intently, was startled by her sister's voice, she turned her head suddenly, and saw her brother and sister staring at her unkindly, Yoyo's hand that was about to put a candy into her mouth froze immediately.
Three seconds later, she put the sugar back in the jar.
—then grabbed a handful and started stuffing it into his mouth.
Gu Miaomiao: "!!! You spit it out!!!"
Shen Jichuan on the side sighed.
Parents were not at home, and grandma had no bottom line. Six-year-old Gu Miaomiao and seven-year-old Shen Jichuan had no choice but to carry the family silently.
Gu Miaomiao: "Grandma, I can't give you the candy jar. You let her eat as much as she wants, and she can eat as much as she has. You don't even know if you've stretched yourself to death."
Shen Jichuan: "Hey, do you know that eating too much sugar will cause your teeth to rot, and drinking too much strawberry milk will cause diarrhea?"
The old and the young who are sitting on the sofa receiving education: "..."
After the two of you ruthlessly confiscated Yoyo's sugar and strawberry milk, Luo Biying asked Yoyo in a low voice:
"Hey, why do I think you're not smart? It's because your older brothers and sisters took all your smartness away?"
YoYo:"?"
In fact, you can't say that Yoyo is stupid, ordinary three-year-old children are not much different from her, and Yoyo at least doesn't yell about excess energy, which is considered sensible and obedient.
But because there are two children, Gu Miaomiao and Shen Jichuan, at home, the contrast is particularly sharp.
For example, after listening to Gu Miaomiao playing the violin—
Luo Biying: "Okay! It's so good! You can perform at the National Center for the Performing Arts at this level!"
Another example is after reading Shen Jichuan's primary school Olympiad questions—
Luo Biying: "Although grandma can't understand it! But it looks very powerful! In the future, we Jichuan must be a mathematician, the kind who wins the Nobel Prize in Mathematics!"
Shen Jichuan is not quite used to the old man's enthusiasm for him.
But he hesitated for a moment, and finally swallowed the words on his lips.
—Grandma, there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics.
—
Actually speaking, Ms. Luo Biying has no experience in raising little boys.
She has always liked her daughter more, and she can buy beautiful little skirts and cute little braids for her daughter.
Especially when you come home from working all day, there is a little girl around you who calls you mother sweetly, which can definitely relieve the fatigue of a whole day's work.
But boys are different.
Luo Biying had never raised a little boy and knew that ordinary little boys would rarely like to read those boring scientific research books.
Boys in this age group love to roll around all over the floor, think they are Superman Batman in bed sheets, and can punch out of thin air anytime, anywhere.
But Shen Jichuan was different from these little boys.
He never does these things.
At first, she thought that the child was naturally quiet, the kind of top student who loves to read and study.
But then she accidentally saw the child go to the bathroom with a cane, and there was nothing under the empty trouser legs, and she suddenly realized why he was so quiet and dignified.
Apart from sitting down to read and study quietly, he has no other way to play football and basketball like other boys of the same age.
Soon, Shen Jichuan found that Ms. Luo's attention to him had increased significantly.
"...Winter is coming soon, what color sweater Ji Chuan likes, grandma has finished knitting this one for Mianmian, and I will knit it for you."
"... It's so late after reading again, Ji Chuan is hungry, what can grandma cook for you for supper?"
"... Why is your voice hoarse? Is it because you have a cold? If you have a cold, you won't be going to school today. Grandma will ask you for leave."
If it was just these things, although Shen Jichuan felt that the enthusiasm came a bit suddenly, he would not have any objections.
However, the love from grandma is destined to be swift and unreasonable.
"Eat more, grow your body."
Shen Jichuan took the heavy bowl of rice, and remembered the fear of being dominated by Yoyo's pig-raising enthusiasm.
This is already the second bowl.
Holding the bowl of rice, Shen Jichuan felt a little complicated.
Except for Yoyo who mistakenly thought that he would grow legs by eating more, Luo Biying was the first person who cared about him so meticulously.
In his last life, he was more than 20 years old, and his memory of his parents is very faint. Apart from the photos, the impression of his parents in his mind is very vague. He doesn't remember if his parents were like this, urging him to eat more Order food, for fear that he will be hungry.
In his childhood, he wandered around the homes of close relatives and distant relatives, like an abrupt intruder, abruptly intervening in the original trajectory of other people's homes.
Shen Jichuan understood his identity early on, never made any demands, and learned to read other people's faces.
If the dish on the table is someone else's child's favorite, even if he likes it very much, he will not move his chopsticks.
If the family conditions of the foster family are average, he will try to reduce his own expenses as much as possible, eat less food, wear more clothes for a few years, and continue to wear unfit shoes.
He never asks for anything, and no one asks him what he wants.
After coming to Gu's house, although his basic necessities of life have improved in all aspects, most of the time, the busy couple just give him plenty of pocket money and won't chatter about these details.
In fact, he doesn't need that much money.
He would rather take the money in exchange for such a trivial nagging.
—Of course, this does not include the two bowls of rice that I eat every meal.
"...Thank you grandma, but I really can't eat it anymore."
Shen Jichuan said very sincerely.
Luo Biying spoke nonsense in a serious manner:
"You can eat, you can eat, it's only six o'clock, and you're still early to fall asleep. After eating, grandma will help you out for a walk and you'll be digested."
Yoyo looked at his big bowl of rice and snickered, luckily she had put down her chopsticks.
"Yo Yo, what are you running for?"
Luo Biying, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, grabbed Yoyo back to her seat.
"I haven't had the walnut lotus seed pork bone soup yet, you and Miaomiao each have a bowl."
Yoyo looked bitterly at the soup bowl in front of her that was as big as her face, her little mouth was pouted:
"Grandma, my stomach really can't hold it."
Luo Biying was unmoved:
"You can't hold the rice, can't you hold the soup? After drinking it, go to the toilet a few times and it will be gone. If you don't drink it, it will be cold."
She spoke very easily, as if these children had several stomachs in their stomachs, one for dinner, one for soup, and one for the snacks she gave.
And she has the final say on how much she can pretend.
After the meal, the three children lay flat on their backs with their chubby bellies.
Gu Miaomiao: "I need to distract grandma."
Otherwise, when Gu Qizhou and Yu Lan come back, they will find that all three of them are too fat to be human.
Shen Jichuan felt the same way: "Tomorrow is the weekend, we can't let her stay at home and think about what to eat, think of a reason to go out, so she won't think about it when she's tired."
Gu Miaomiao felt that it was feasible, so the eyes of the two of them fell on Yoyo beside them in a tacit understanding.
Yoyo, who was hiccupping on the sofa, didn't know that she had become a tool man.
Five minutes later, she was pushed in front of her grandma by her brother and sister.
"...Grandma!" Yoyo held a piece of candy that her brother used to bribe her in her mouth, and happily tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Shall we go to the zoo tomorrow?"
Luo Biying: "But tomorrow grandma plans to make Buddha jump over the wall for you..."
Gu Miaomiao: "You want to go to the zoo, but she hasn't been there yet."
Shen Jichuan: "Although we really want to eat the Buddha Jumping Wall you made, but you have wanted to go to the zoo for a long time."
"Really?"
Yoyo just wanted to say that she didn't really want to go, and then she saw Gu Miaomiao standing in front of her with her hands behind her back, making a circle with her fingers.
It's in the shape of sugar.
"Really!" Yoyo's face was sincere and her voice was loud, "Yoyo wants to go! I really want to go!!"
So, for Yoyo, there is nothing that candy can't stop her.
If so, give a few more!
—
The next day, Luo Biying asked Aunt Zhang about the nearby zoo.
Aunt Zhang: "There are several old zoos in the city, but I heard that we recently opened a new Cubs Zoo here. It is said that the animals in it are all cubs, which are very cute. You can take your children there to see them. look?"
That sounds cute.
Luo Biying decided to take her three children to this zoo.
"However... it seems that this zoo is often closed for renovations. It is not open every day. Why don't I go and check it out for you in the morning. If it is open, you can go again..."
"No, no, no." Luo Biying didn't take it seriously, "The zoo will definitely open on weekends, doesn't it want to make money?"
The confident Luo Biying asked the driver to drive them to the cub zoo early the next morning.
However-
"Oh." Yoyo tilted her head while watching the excitement, "Grandma, they said they won't open the door today."
Luo Biying looked at the zoo with its gates closed in surprise. She really didn't expect this zoo to be so capricious. It was a great opportunity to make money on weekends, but it would not open if it couldn't be opened
Are the animals in your zoo still on weekends
There were also other children who came early in the morning.
"Whoa, I don't care—I must see giraffes in the zoo today!"
The rest of the tourists who found that the zoo was not open today left sparsely. Only this little boy screamed and cried, and kicked the big iron gate of the zoo from time to time.
Shen Jichuan frowned slightly, he hated such noisy children.
But he didn't expect that it was his mother who was unreasonable than a child:
"Hey, let's not cry, what kind of broken zoo is this? Why don't you open the door on weekends, isn't this just a joke?"
The bear's father is not to be outdone:
"What big name does a zoo play? It will close down sooner or later!"
After speaking, he put his foot firmly on the iron door and kicked it several times, as if he wanted to remove the door.
The iron gate of the zoo was kicked to the point of crumbling, and Yoyo shrank back in Shen Jichuan's wheelchair in fright.
Luo Biying also couldn't understand the behavior of this family, so she said "no quality" in a moderate voice.
The man's ears were sharp, and he immediately turned around and asked:
"What did you say?"
Luo Biying didn't want to bring the child into conflict with him, so she pretended she didn't hear, and turned to leave.
But Yoyo simply thought he didn't hear it, and repeated loudly and earnestly:
"My grandma said, Uncle, you are so unqualified!"
Luo Biying & Shen Jichuan & Gu Miaomiao: ...
Yoyo saw that man's eyes were so angry that they were as big as copper bells. He thought her voice was still too low, so he took a deep breath and repeated:
"Uncle!!! Don't kick the door!!! Grandma said you have no quality!!!!"
There was no one at the gate of the zoo, Yoyo's voice was so loud that it almost echoed.
Even the people in the zoo heard Yoyo's movements.
"Grandma." After yelling, Yoyo turned around, scratched her head and looked puzzled, "Is this uncle's ears not very good?"
... I think your brain is not very good.
Seeing that Yoyo managed to irritate the family opposite, Luo Biying felt a little headache, but she was not timid, and never underestimated the fighting ability of an aunt in her fifties.
"—What kind of upbringing are you, little girl! How dare you call your elders unqualified if you don't learn well at such a young age?"
Gu Miaomiao rolled up her sleeves and prepared to fight, but she didn't expect Ms. Luo Biying to be more fierce than her.
"Grandson! I was the one who scolded those words just now. Why, I scolded you for such an unqualified person! The privately-run zoo can be opened and closed if you want, and you even took your children and grandpa to kick the gate together. , It’s really not that a family doesn’t have enough quality to live in a nest! If you have money, you can build a family yourself! If you don’t have money, what are you doing!”
Gu Miaomiao: ... Excuse me.
It seems that there is no room for her to play.
Ms. Luo Biying fought one against two, and there was a driver beside her to protect her safety at all times. It can be said that she beat the two impotent and furious middle-aged couples opposite.
And their son was also in trouble.
Little boy: "You are not allowed to bully my parents!"
Yoyo put her hips on her hips: "You are not allowed to bully my grandma!"
little boy:… ? Isn't your grandma scolding my parents unilaterally
Seeing that Ms. Luo Biying became more and more courageous in the battle, and her momentum was amazing, the little boy became anxious.
"You have no quality! You, your family are all bad guys! Your brother is still disabled! Monster! Your family is all monsters!!"
Yoyo stared wide-eyed, and there was a cry in her voice:
"You nonsense! My brother is not a monster! You can't curse!"
"It's a monster!! He has no legs and he's not like us and he's an ugly monster!!!!"
The child was unrestrained, and when he opened his mouth in a hurry, he blurted out the most lethal words he could think of.
Shen Jichuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly raised his eyes, the dark eyes were gloomy, and there was no light in them.
He squeezed the armrest tightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of several adults still arguing, silently pushing the wheelchair, and stretched out his hand towards the twittering little boy with a hideous face—
"Are you cursing?"
At some point, the door of the zoo opened slightly, and a familiar figure came out from there.
"is it you?"
The young man with a clear voice had indifferent eyebrows and eyes, and he set his sights on the little boy who spoke freely.
Shen Jichuan had to stop the outstretched hand.
All the children looked at the young man in unison, and the tearful Yoyo's cheeks bulged like a little goldfish, and said in a crying voice:
"That's him! He scolded my brother! My brother is not a monster, he is!!"
Gu Miaomiao looked at the brat coldly, and said sarcastically:
"You have complete limbs, but you lack brains. You only have these few vocabulary after repeated repetitions. Even if you take more lessons in class, you won't be as stupid as your idiot parents. Don't be ashamed of yourself at this level. Later I was scolded so that the ancestral grave was dug up, I was afraid that you, an unworthy descendant, would have to sit on the grave and cry."
The little boy was only seven or eight years old, so he had never seen this scene before.
"You think it's great because you have longer legs than others? Little fool, don't think that fools are blessed with fools. You are wrong. There are no fools."
Yong Ze: "..."
Although I didn't understand it, I was shocked by the momentum:
"...Okay! My sister continues! Scold him!"
Yong Ze turned his head and asked Shen Jichuan next to him, why everyone was arguing here, and he nodded after knowing the cause and effect.
"So that's how it is."
He got up and walked towards the couple who were still impotent and furious over there.
"Excuse me, are you tourists who want to visit the Zaizai Zoo today?"
The couple were so angry that their chests rose and fell, and they gave him an angry look.
"Yeah! What? Are you the staff member who came to mediate? Let me tell you, your zoo will close down sooner or later! Even if you beg us, we won't come again..."
"That's good." Yong Ze's voice was calm from beginning to end. "I just want to inform you that you have been blacklisted by the zoo. You will not be welcome to visit the zoo in the future. Thank you for your cooperation."
The couple who were so arrogant just now couldn't believe what they heard.
"...Why, why...?" He was disturbed by the young man's eyes, but his tone was still strong, "You won't let me go if you say no? Is this zoo run by your family?"
Yong Ze still nodded calmly:
"This zoo is indeed opened by my family. Do you have any questions?"
"...?"
The old man standing not far behind him smiled kindly. The old man was wearing a suit with an outstanding temperament, and his body was full of grace and luxury accumulated over the years.
In short, it looks like a lot of money.
"… Neuropathy!"
The couple also realized that they seemed to have offended someone who seemed to be an incredible person, so they sternly said:
"If you don't come, don't come! There are so many zoos in the city! Do you think you're the one who runs them? I'll switch to another one right away!"
After speaking, the couple took the child and left.
The little boy also seemed to realize that they were running away, not only crying loudly, but also beating his parents madly with his fists to go back and continue arguing with them.
The parents were also reluctant to beat the child, so they had to avoid his fist, cursed and walked away.
Yong Ze looked at their backs, turned around and asked the old man:
"I didn't tell them just now, I mean zoos across the country, including aquariums?"
The old man smiled slightly and replied, "It seems that he didn't say anything."
Yong Ze didn't care too much, and said indifferently:
"It's okay, they should know soon."
