When sleeping at night, Mo Shenghuan practiced what he had learned, touched the back of An Nuo's hand, put his fingers into the palm of his hand, groped upwards, and made a standard interlocking finger with An Nuo.
I used to sleep with my hands gently held, but now my fingers are intertwined, and the limbs are getting closer.
An Nuo opened her eyes, and began to think in her head, since this imitation method is so easy to use, can she rely on imitation method to teach her uncle more?
Like... speak?
It is extremely difficult to let a person who has not spoken in more than ten years speak, An Nuo even suspects that Mo Shenghuan has forgotten how to pronounce.
I may have to start from scratch, starting from the simplest syllables like when teaching the two cubs to speak.
But the uncle's situation is obviously more complicated than that of the cub. The reason why the uncle doesn't speak is largely due to psychological reasons. practise.
Before preparing to help Mo Shenghuan speak, An Nuo was already mentally prepared to fail, even if he kept silent for the rest of the day, An Nuo would choose to accept it.
Uncle's quiet appearance will calm down with An Nuo's mood. He seems to have a magical power that can calm down the mood of those who approach him.
Except tonight at dinner.
An Nuo recalled the look of Mo Shenghuan's frosty eyebrows at that time, and still couldn't help but her heart beat faster. Now she was holding such a hand that could crush a porcelain bowl, and she was still clinging tightly to it.
The palm is soft.
An Nuo turned her head and peeked at Mo Shenghuan's side face. The curtains were not completely shielded from the light, and the moonlight was on the man's face at this moment, casting a light shadow. It looks tough and clear, and looks like a painting.
It seems that I have to let my uncle eat more.
As if appreciating a perfect thing, An Nuo turned her head contentedly, fell asleep with the corners of her lips raised.
Until the boy breathed evenly, the man's eyelashes trembled slightly, he opened his eyes, and looked at the scene in front of him indifferently.As if thinking of something, she tilted her head slightly and saw the young man, her eyes flickered, as if a black swallow was sweeping over the pond, causing some ripples on the water surface.
The warmth in the hands is real.
Mo Shenghuan turned sideways a little bit, looked at the boy's sleeping face, and slowly closed his eyes.
After class in the morning, An Nuo invited Qi Cheng to have a meal at the newly opened Chicken Pot in front of the school. The new store has ample portions, and the two of them, who were full after eating, wandered around the school. An Nuo saw a bookstore and walked in. .
"Do you want to buy some materials?" Qi Cheng followed An Nuo, "The exam will take more than a month. Do you want to secretly review behind my back?"
An Nuo walked to the preschool area and picked up a picture book for children aged 0-3.
Qi Cheng looked at the book in An Nuo's hand in surprise, and involuntarily moved his gaze to An Nuo's stomach.
It is a little raised.
Qi Cheng took a deep breath, An Nuo has just grown up, what if she has a child!
I am a child and I still have to go to school, but how can I take care of my children!
"What are you thinking?" An Nuo turned her head and saw Qi Cheng's strange eyes, and patted her belly, "This is a chicken pot!"
Qi Cheng was so frightened by the slap that he almost lost his mind. When he heard it was a chicken pot, he looked down at his stomach, which was taller than An Nuo.
That's fine.
Ever since he found out that An Nuo was really married, Qi Cheng couldn't help but feel worried for his good brother. He watched a few news about getting divorced because of the bride price after marriage, being depressed and doing stupid things because of having a child, and being domestically abused by her husband. Sorrowful until straight sigh.
An Nuo has small arms and legs, if there is a fight, I don't know if he can hold a... patient.
"There is no child, so what are you doing here?" Qi Cheng saw that An Nuo picked up another copy of "Baby Learns Alphabets".
"Let's prepare first." An Nuo decided to save some face for his uncle.
Qi Cheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "I've lived for 19 years, and I didn't know anyone prepared this thing."
An Nuo smiled, and her eyes stopped on a brightly colored pinyin wall chart next to her.
"How do you sell this?" An Nuo glanced at the label on the back of the pinyin wall chart, 35 yuan.
Why is it so expensive?
An Nuo studied this wall chart carefully, and found that it was still 3D. There were not only consonants and finals in the grid, but also raised images. Pressing the image, you can pronounce it.
There is a place on the wall chart, you can put button batteries.
"That's all." An Nuo took down the pinyin wall chart and went to the counter to pay.
In my previous life, I might not be willing to buy such an expensive wall chart for Zai Zai. My monthly money was devoted to necessities such as milk powder, supplementary food, paper diapers, etc. I owed flowers every month. Waist up.
Zai Zai followed him and was wronged.
After Qi Cheng watched An Nuo pay, he suddenly sighed, his eyes full of guilt.
"Are you okay?" Qi Cheng looked surprised, bought a wall chart, reminded him of something bad?
"It's nothing." An Nuo pursed her lips, "I have to earn money."
"A 35 wall chart puts you under pressure?" Qi Cheng couldn't help laughing, "Let me tell you, my cousin just had a child, and the expenses are like a bottomless pit. You don't know how much the child's things are now Expensive, but you dare not buy cheap ones!"
An Nuo looked at Qi Cheng with a deeply approving expression.
"So, you must take protective measures now." Qi Cheng urged in a low voice, "Don't, don't have children."
"Xiaoxiannan and I have a pure relationship." An Nuo glared at Qi Cheng, "The kind that holds hands!"
"That's right." Qi Cheng rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "You're still in school, just pay attention."
An Nuo pursed her lips, and left the bookstore with a pinyin wall chart.
Qi Cheng's worry is not unreasonable, but fortunately, his uncle is not Mo Chenghuan, he will not force himself to do things he does not want, let alone force himself to drop out of school.
Mo Shenghuan is like a perfect elder, he gives the younger generation full of trust, freedom, and money, he will solve problems for himself, he will comfort himself, he is calm and reliable, and he will not listen to Mo Chenghuan's instigation.
Still uncle.
"Student!" The bookstore cashier shouted loudly, "There are wires in the wall chart, so don't break it!"
"Understood, thank you." An Nuo came back to his senses, turned his head and responded.
In the evening, An Nuo specially took Mo Shenghuan to wash up half an hour earlier, watching Mo Sheng Huan sit up on the bed, An Nuo took out a brand new pinyin wall chart and showed it in front of the man.
Mo Shenghuan's eyes were indifferent. After scanning the pinyin wall chart, his eyes returned to the boy.
"Ahem." An Nuo cleared his throat, "Today, let's read the first five finals."
Mo Shenghuan looked at An Nuo quietly.
"Ah~" An Nuo opened his mouth wide, "Ahhh..."
"When reading this sound, you need to open your mouth wide and keep your tongue flat." An Nuo opened her mouth to show her uncle, "There are also four tones, ahhhhhh."
An Nuo drew the tones with his chin and read the four tones.
Mo Shenghuan looked at the boy and blinked calmly.
"Next, oh." An Nuo pursed her mouth and looked at Mo Shenghuan seriously, "The lips should be round, and the tongue inside..."
An Nuo opened her mouth to show her uncle, "You have to draw back your tongue a bit, the back is protruding."
Mo Shenghuan's eyes fell on the young man's lips and tongue, his eyes drooping slightly.
"It's like a rooster crowing, oh oh oh~" An Nuo tried to flap his arms.
Mo Shenghuan stared at the boy's serious appearance with clear eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
An Nuo stopped moving, her eyes fixed on Mo Shenghuan's face, a little lost in thought.
This seems to be... the first time Uncle laughed.
An Nuo couldn't describe the scene in front of him. When the corners of the man's lips curled up, it looked like a pear tree, which bloomed one after another. Inside the snow-white petals were light-colored stamens. When the wind blew, the petals fell like rain. One petal fell into my hand.
Beyond the prosperity of the world, the beauty is indescribable.
An Nuo didn't know how he finished reading the remaining three letters. He closed his eyes and lay on the bed, unable to forget the scene just now.
An Nuo thought that Mo Shenghuan couldn't laugh.
Just like a cold exiled fairy, he watched the changes in the world indifferently, not stained with the world.
He is tolerant and calm, but when he chuckles, it seems that the whole world is blown by the spring breeze and is about to bloom.
An Nuo covered her heart with one hand, it has been two nights in a row, her heart rate has been abnormal, should she really see a doctor.
A hand lightly touched the back of An Nuo's hand outside the bed, An Nuo opened his hand naturally, interlocking fingers with the outstretched hand.
Feeling the body temperature of the people around her, An Nuo felt her heart beating even harder.
Help!

"We visited a dozen of Mrs. An's plastic girlfriends yesterday." He Mingshan sat on a chair and spread out a dozen photos.
The four of them sat around a table, An Lin put on a bitter face, and stretched out his hand to pinch his calf.
"Among these people, eight have seen Mrs. An's two children." He Mingshan removed the photos, leaving only eight.
"Four of them have seen two children when they were young." He Mingshan separated the eight photos, and the bottom four are the target people.
"But the problem is, none of these four plastic girlfriends admitted that they picked up a child when they were shopping with Mrs. An."
Bai Xiao stared at the photos of the four women. These people were not much different in age from Mrs. An, and they all looked like noble ladies.
"Could it be that the fact that Mrs. An picked up the child while shopping with her best friend was originally a lie." Bai Xiao guessed, "After all, Mrs. An really didn't have a few words of truth in her mouth."
"My guess is the same." He Mingshan nodded, and clicked on the photo, "So I asked the plastic girlfriends who had seen two children when they were young, two of them said they couldn't remember clearly, and the other two provided a little clue."
"Because An Lin is born with curly hair, it's easier to tell them apart from An Nuo, so both of them remember that a little boy with straight hair suddenly appeared in Mrs. An's house.
Mrs. An explained at the time that this was her nephew who was temporarily staying at her house for a few days.Later, Mrs. An sent An Nuo to a full-care kindergarten, and lost contact with those two plastic girlfriends. "
Finding very little information, and almost breaking his leg, An Lin rubbed the curly hair on his head and sighed.
"It's been too long, and surveillance was not widespread at that time, so it's really hard to check." Bai Xiao looked at the photos on the table, feeling a little disappointed, "You guys have worked hard."
"I have an idea." An Lin raised his hand suddenly, "I can tell Mrs. An that the Bai family is investigating what happened back then, and they are still investigating her girlfriends one by one."
The three looked at An Lin together.
"According to our current investigation, I suspect that Mrs. An acted alone back then. She saw a loophole in your family's negligence, so she stole An Nuo away." An Lin raised his head.
"But according to what Mrs. An told you before, she picked up An Nuo while shopping with her best friend.
There is still a big gap between picking up a child and abducting a child.
So when I told Mrs. An the information about your investigation of her girlfriend, Mrs. An would try every means to cover up the lie, and even find a girlfriend from back then, give her benefits, and ask her to give false testimony. "
"However, several of her old girlfriends are under our control. The Bai family promised them benefits in advance. As long as Mrs. An comes to see them, they can meet at a public place. It just so happens that the place is monitored and the radio is good. Isn't that person's physical evidence at his fingertips?"
He Mingshan looked at An Lin, and nodded thoughtfully.
"Sure, boy." Moyes patted An Lin's shoulder and blinked, "I like you."
"But these are all based on your assumptions." Bai Xiao frowned, "At that time, we didn't remember that there was such a number one person as Mrs. An, let alone how our family had an enmity with her back then. As for her wanting to steal a child to vent her anger?"
"You can ask your mother about it." An Lin looked calm, "Mrs. An scolded your mother so cruelly. There must have been conflicts between the two of them back then."
"I..." Bai Xiao glanced at the phone subconsciously, a little hesitant.
"Now your brother has been found." He Mingshan looked at Bai Xiao, "You can ask your aunt what happened back then. If your aunt gets to the bottom of it, at least what you get this time won't be disappointment."
Bai Xiao was silent for a moment, picked up the phone, and under everyone's gaze, clicked on the call history, and clicked on the contact with the note "Mom".
After a few waiting sounds, a woman's elegant voice came from the opposite side.
"Xiao Xiao?"
"Mom." Bai Xiao glanced at the people around him, took a deep breath, "Do you remember, who is Mrs. An?"
I used to sleep with my hands gently held, but now my fingers are intertwined, and the limbs are getting closer.
An Nuo opened her eyes, and began to think in her head, since this imitation method is so easy to use, can she rely on imitation method to teach her uncle more?
