Now...my daughter knows that the strawberries haven't come.
The man sighed inwardly.
My daughter really likes strawberries.
He touched the girl's head and said, "It's okay, Qiqi."
"When we get home, maybe you can see strawberries again."
"real?"
The girl's eyes lit up.
Such an expectant look made the man unable to say the word "really" for a while.
Because he doesn't know either.
It's just that he hopes so.
The man smiled and said, "Qiqi and Strawberry are good friends. Qiqi misses Strawberry so much, and Strawberry misses Qiqi too."
"If Strawberry misses Qiqi, she will appear in front of Qiqi."
The man did not answer the girl's question directly.
Instead, he used a somewhat cunning rhetoric.
He suddenly thought of a sentence: adults like to fool children.
Yes, adults like to fool children.
He is also such an adult.
The man smiled bitterly.
...
"Um."
The girl nodded heavily.
Be happy and smile.
...
"Strawberry is it?"
The woman asked the man.
"One of Qiqi's animal friends."
The man explained.
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he had never known what kind of animal Qiqi's animal friend was?
cat?
Or a dog?
It is not appropriate to ask at this time.
The man suppressed his doubts.
A slight smile appeared on his face.
I hope my daughter can see strawberries again in the future.
At that time, he will also know "who the hell is" strawberry.
If he couldn't see it, he hoped that the child would be more forgetful and forget about strawberries.
After all, there’s no telling where wild animals might wander to.
Or, I don’t even know when I’m gone.
The man couldn't bear to see his child disappointed and sad when the time came.
He reached out and patted the child's head.
If it were true as he said, it would be great if Strawberry could respond to her daughter's longing.
…
"It turns out to be Qiqi's animal friend."
The woman was stunned.
"He is Qiqi's good friend."
The girl emphasized, "Best friend."
In the past two years, she has not gone to school and has no friends of the same age.
The appearance of strawberries made up for this regret.
Strawberries are really important to her.
"Oh, that's how it is."
The woman smiled and tucked the girl's hair behind her ears, "She is Qiqi's good friend."
Then she realized something was wrong, "Hey, since when did your family get pets?"
She doesn't even know.
"Not a pet."
The man shook his head and looked at the child with a smile, "The child knows him himself."
"They should be stray cats and dogs in the community."
"That's it."
The woman nodded.
Children all like small animals, but it is dangerous to approach small animals without permission.
But at this time, she would not say such embarrassing words.
The little guy is sad that his little friend is missing.
She just reminded the man, "You should spend more time with your child in the future."
"Work is important."
"Children are more important."
"Um."
The man nodded, with a serious look on his face, "I know."
"Qiqi can speak now, so there is something very important to do."
The woman thought a lot.
The man was still a little confused, "Is it something very important?"
"Go to school."
The woman sighed and glared at the man slightly, "Isn't this important?"
"Important, important."
The man nodded frequently.
There was a look of surprise on his face.
That's right, before, he was worried that his child couldn't speak, worried that she wouldn't be able to make friends at school or would be bullied, so he simply didn't let her go to school.
Now the child can speak.
His scruples were gone.
It's time for children to go to school. If they get to know more friends of the same age, their temperament will be more lively and cheerful, and some bad things will be forgotten more quickly.
…
The girl didn't pay attention to the adults' conversation.
She is still wondering whether Strawberry is a cat? Or a dog?
It seems not...
What are strawberries?
The girl's eyes turned round.
…
Wait, a thought flashed through my mind.
The man suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.
He signaled to the woman who was about to speak again to wait, and then looked at Xiao Xiao, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Sorry, classmate Xiao."
"I'm so excited that my baby can talk."
"I forgot to thank you."
"Yep."
Only then did the woman react.
They were just chatting and enjoying themselves, how could they have forgotten the biggest contributor?
It's so rude.
The woman's face immediately became full of apology.
"I'm so sorry, classmate Xiao."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "Don't mind."
"I'm also very happy that Qiqi can speak."
"Classmate Xiao, how did you do it?"
He seemed to know that what he said was a bit confusing, so the man explained, "How did you make Qiqi make a sound?"
"I worked hard for a long time."
"I have thought of many ways..."
How did this young man do what he had never accomplished?
What did he do?
…
So...did this young man specifically ask to have a private chat with Qiqi?
The man had some guesses and realizations.
What did he say to Qiqi?
The man was extremely curious.
He also talked a lot with his children in the past.
He talked about his deceased wife, his child’s mother, interesting things about his children when they were young, and their family’s happy memories...
He talked to the children about various things.
Thinking that maybe something that touches the child can make the child make a sound.
However, he failed.
The child's response to him was always silent.
Children will smile to express happiness, widen their eyes to express confusion, and frown to express confusion...
But he doesn't use words to express his emotions.
He felt sorry for such a child but was helpless.
I can only keep telling myself: take your time, don't be anxious. The child will recover.
One day, the child will recover.
Then, this day... really came.
Came unexpectedly.
…
"Yes, classmate Xiao, what did you tell Qiqi?"
The woman also asked curiously.
They all knew that Qiqi's inability to make a sound was not due to any physical problem, but to psychological reasons.
But it is psychological reasons that make people unable to start.
A young man who met his children for the first time was able to do something that their relatives had not been able to do for two years.
Thinking about it, it really makes people feel a little complicated.
…
"It's not my fault."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, and the two people waiting for his answer were stunned by what he said.
"Classmate Xiao, you don't have to be modest."
The man quickly smiled and said, "How can we not see such an obvious fact?"
"Qiqi and you will be able to talk after we chat in the room for a while."
"Isn't this your credit or someone else's?"
"It's all thanks to strawberries."
Xiao Xiao answered.
"Qiqi thought she would never see Strawberry again, so she was anxious and made a sound."
