“Okay, I’ll take care of Nian Gao here, and you guys can go and have fun without worrying about anything.”
Bringing Nian Gao was not a big deal, so Bai Qiyu agreed immediately.
After getting the accurate answer, Brother Bai hung up the phone in ecstasy.
Then he ran to his wife with brisk steps, urging her to pack their son’s luggage and prepare to send him to his brother.
Nian Gao was playing a puzzle at home.
Even if a puzzle with more than 300 pieces was placed in front of him, he can calm down and carefully piece together the picture bit by bit.
It was at this time Qingqing and Bai Qiyu arrived.
After coming here many times, Qingqing has become familiar with Nian Gao’s parents.
As soon as she entered the door, the little guy started to call people sweetly: “Hello, uncle and aunt.”
“Qingqing, you are so good. Nian Gao is on the balcony upstairs. You can just go up and find him.” Nian Gao’s mother squatted down gently and stuffed a bag of biscuits into Qingqing’s little hand: “Here you go.”
“Thank you, aunt.”
Qingqing thanked her sweetly, took the biscuits given by Nian Gao’s mother, and rushed upstairs with her short legs to find Nian Gao.
There was a large open-air balcony on the second floor of Nian Gao’s house. This balcony was carefully decorated by Nian Gao’s mother into a small indoor garden and a miniature children’s playground. There was a soft carpet on the ground, and Nian Gao lay there to play puzzles.
“Brother Nian Gao.”
Qingqing’s baby voice came closer and closer. Nian Gao’s ears twitched slightly and he immediately raised his head: “Sister Qingqing.”
He immediately abandoned the map he had just carefully pieced together in a second, quickly got up and rushed to the stairs, just in time to meet Qingqing who was slowly climbing up.
Qingqing has short calves, so stairs that are normal height for adults are like huge mountains for her.
Nian Gao looked down from his high place and saw Qingqing curled up into a small ball, lying on the stairs, using her hands and feet to slowly climb up. She was as cute as a slowly rolling dumpling.
Being worried that Qingqing might fall, Nian Gao hurried down, carefully took his sister’s hand, and led her up the stairs.
Being careful that Qingqing might fall, rice cake hurriedly went down, carefully holding the little sister’s hand, which made her afraid of the stairs.
“Why doesn’t Sister Qingqing take the elevator?” There was an elevator installed in his house.
“…I can’t press it.” Qingqing said slowly.
Height is a flaw, so there’s no need to bring up such a sad topic.
Although everyone in the family kept it a secret from Qingqing, as her friends around her grew up, Qingqing gradually discovered her own differences.
She hasn’t realized that she won’t grow up, but she vaguely feels that she hasn’t changed much, the most obvious thing being her height.
Using an object of reference, if Qingqing was originally at the same level as Nian Gao’s ears, then now she can only barely touch his shoulders.
Even a blind person could find something wrong with such a huge discrepancy, not to mention that Qingqing is not blind and is very smart.
So over time, the little guy became a little sensitive about the issue of height and didn’t like to hear others mention it.
Especially any topic that refers to her height, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she will refuse to chat with you!
However, Qingqing liked Nian Gao, and Nian Gao didn’t mean it, so she chose quickly to forgive him and played the puzzle with Nian Gao.
The biscuits given by Nian Gao’s mother were regarded by the two children as energy to replenish their brain power. They shared them one by one. The small bag of biscuits did not last long before they were all eaten up.
Fortunately, Qingqing was now completely focused on the puzzle and didn’t make a fuss about asking for snacks.
While the kids upstairs were having fun, downstairs Brother Bai was still earnestly and reluctantly telling his younger brother the things to pay attention to when taking care of his son.
In fact, in Bai Qiyu’s eyes, he looked very happy and couldn’t wait to get rid of the burden of the child so that he and his wife could enjoy a romantic world of two.
He twitched his lips and whispered:
“Pay attention to your expression.”
Bro, you almost laughed out loud.
“Ahem… I just had a cramp in my mouth, I’m not really laughing, really!”
Brother Bai pretended to cough lightly and quickly adjusted his expression.
Nian Gao’s mother came over dragging the small suitcase she had packed for Nian Gao, rolled her eyes at her husband, and then smiled apologetically at Bai Qiyu.
