Peach and Plum Do Not Speak

"Not far, I can go back every day. However, your kindergarten is not very convenient."

An Zhi hesitantly said, "I don't like kindergarten..."

Yan Xi asked her, "What's wrong?"

An Zhidao: "It's too simple."

Pfft, this answer made Yan Xi laugh out loud. She hugged An Zhi: "I know, kindergarten is really too easy for you..."

Yan Xi even thought she could go to the second or third grade of elementary school.

"However, going to school is not just to learn knowledge. What you need to learn is how to get along with people and make friends in a group."

An Zhi showed a questioning expression, but her classmates were all children who cried at every turn, and it would take a long time for 1+1 to break their fingers. Can't write southeast, northwest. Very few Chinese characters from 1 to 10 can be written. It's been two weeks, and there are still several consonants and vowels that I can't recite.

She knows what the teachers teach. The teachers of the reading books also chose to talk simply. If a child cried during the talk, she would stop to coax. Then a class is over. She can only read by herself, and look up words she doesn't understand in the dictionary. But the kindergarten didn't even have a dictionary, so she could only copy down the words she didn't understand every day and go to the grandfather's study to borrow a dictionary to look it up.

Is this the collective life? So boring.

"Has An Zhi made any friends?"

An Zhi pouted: "No... They are so naive."

childish. My classmates are so naive. The sentence is successful, and the word is understood.

Yan Xi smiled, feeling adored by her.

"I see. After the new year, we can go to primary school, okay? We can't worry about it. Your hukou is not here. There may be some formalities to be done. Leave it to me."

An Zhi's eyes lit up again. "And you're not old enough," Yan Xi pondered. She didn't pay attention before. She calculated it carefully: "An Zhi, you're only five years old, right? Five years old is a rabbit."

An Zhi said "Huh?" with a shocked expression on his face.

"You may count the false age there. Hey, I don't understand how this age is calculated. But generally speaking, you can enter the first grade of elementary school when you are six years old. According to the calculation of your family, it is seven years old."

An Zhi was still immersed in the shock of "Why did I suddenly shrink by one year, do I still have to stay in kindergarten for two years".

"Also...you have to eat more and grow taller quickly..."

He was teased about his height again!

An Zhi was not happy, and puffed up her face silently.

Yan Xi came over and rubbed her hair.

"Okay, it's getting late, An Zhi, go upstairs and sleep."

An Zhi followed her, and suddenly she grabbed Yan Xi's clothes.

"What's wrong?" Yan Xi looked down at her.

An Zhi's apple muscles were red, and his lips moved, as if he was about to say something.

"Huh? Say it." Yan Xi encouraged her with his eyes.

"...Why don't you call me Tao Tao..." The little girl opened her round eyes and held her clothes, like some kind of small animal begging to be petted.

There are traces of her previous crying on her small face, and the corners of her mouth had just smiled. Children are really strange animals, and they can easily show their emotions because of the reactions of the outside world. It was easy to cry and laugh, laugh and cry.

Even an introverted and quiet child like An Zhi would show such a side in front of her.

Yan Xi asked herself that she was rarely seen by children, but when she saw her like this, her heart softened.

That night, An Zhi was crying all the time. Tears kept rolling out from her closed eyes. She cried to the point of choking, almost breathless. Yan Xi didn't know what to do, so she could only hold her over.

Remembering that she said that her grandfather called her Tao Tao, that's how she called her, and the little An Zhi lay on her chest, crying like a little milk cat, and only after her consolation did she grab her clothes and fall asleep.

This is also a careful move.

Yan Xi felt that it was very difficult for An Zhi.

She squatted down and asked her with a smile, "Do you like me calling you Tao Tao?"

When Yan Xi met the little girl in front of her, she was teased, and her little bun-like cheeks immediately became powdery, and her dimples opened.

A shy expression of "I like it".

Children's skin is too thin.

Yan Xi chuckled and nodded, "Then I'll call you Tao Tao in the future."

An Zhi's little face burst into a smile.

Yan Xi pulled her hand and shook it, "It's too late, let's go, we have to go to bed." Yan Xi's heart trembled a little after he said that, feeling a little ashamed.

An Zhi stared at the hand that was being held, and the feeling of being held and swayed was very happy.

Yan Xi glanced at her: "But you can't call me Xiao Wu."

An Zhi blinked and laughed.

It may be that after Yan Xi's assurance, An Zhi gradually became less afraid and uneasy. I also began to try to play with the twins all the time, no longer hiding on the third floor alone, the twins finally got used to her, and would hold her to watch Doraemon together and play hide-and-seek together.

Although Yan Xi did not specify when to move out, Xiao Anzhi believed in her unconditionally. The days passed quickly in this expectation.

Beicheng has officially entered winter, and the place where An Zhi was born has never snowed, and she has never seen it. I heard from adults that it often snows in Beicheng in winter. Grandma Xin told her that she usually wakes up overnight, the outside is white, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of soft snow.

Snow. An Zhi checked the dictionary and found that snow is a natural phenomenon like rain. She was very curious and secretly looked forward to the first snow in Beicheng's life this year.

It happened to be a weekend, and in the afternoon, everyone had finished eating, and the children were playing in the hall on the first floor. The air outside was cold, the sky was a little dark, and the cold wind was howling. Suddenly, there were snowdrops as fine as salt particles flying in the air and falling down.

The sharp-eyed Yan Xiaopang was the first to find out. He pointed to the sky and cheered: "Ah! It's snowing!" Then Yan Dapang shouted happily, "It's snowing, it needs to be bigger! Only then can you build a snowman!"

An Zhi was lying on the glass door curiously, looking up without blinking. The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and An Zhi watched the small snowdrops turn into pieces of feathers and fluttered down, landing lightly on the ground.

She opened her mouth with a "wow", and she could see that she was fascinated. Someone approached and stroked her hair lightly. An Zhibai's soft cheeks were next to her palm, Yan Xi smiled at her: "Don't look at it for too long, your eyes will hurt."

The twins grabbed her by the side and said they were going out. An Zhi also looked at her eagerly, waiting for her to nod.

Yan Xi shook her head, "No, if it's too cold, you'll catch a cold." Seeing the disappointed expressions of several children, she reassured: "Wait tomorrow morning, if the snow stops, how about we go to build a snowman?"

The twins cheered and jumped up, and An Zhi also dimpled and smiled and rolled her eyes. She turned to look at the snow again, her little hand was on the glass door, and she wanted to touch it.

Because the twins had seen snow before, they were guaranteed not to make trouble and play other things. Only An Zhi secretly ran to the door to see the snow after a while. Until she was about to go to sleep, she was still lying on the window in the room on the third floor, watching the snow intently.

Yan Xi was making the bed. Although the whole house had heating, she was afraid that the quilt would be too cold, so she took a thicker blanket and put it on a thicker quilt.

When she turned around and saw An Zhi like this, she smiled and walked behind her. Under the warm orange lamp outside the window, the white goose feathers and the heavy snow fluttered, one after another, and it was as quiet and silent as time.

Yan Xi looked at it for a while before saying to An Zhi, "Okay, it's time for us to sleep."

An Zhi was wearing thick pajamas and wool socks bought for her on her feet. Her short legs swayed and slipped down the bay window. She said, "Will the snow stop tomorrow morning?"

Yan Qi secretly smiled, really thinking about going out to play.

"Should stop."

An Zhi climbed onto the bed, crossed her calves, and scratched her little feet, "Really?"

Yan Xi walked over and helped her adjust the socks on her feet. There was a rabbit printed on each toe of the socks, which An Zhi liked very much.

"Yes, go to bed now."

The new quilt was dry and warm, light and fluffy, and had no fragrance. An Zhi got in, only to feel that the quilt was wide and soft like clouds.

"Sleep in." Yan Xi also lay down. She really didn't like being in bed with people before, and she doesn't like it now, but although An Zhi didn't show it during the day, sometimes she would have nightmares and cry silently when she fell asleep at night. Sometimes she doesn't even know it herself.

Yan Xi can't come back every week, so when she thinks of those nights when she slept alone, sometimes it happens, Yan Xi feels very uncomfortable. Even if she asks Aunt Xin to come to see her at night, she can't let her 100%. She is relieved.

Fortunately, An Zhi didn't move around when she fell asleep, so it was acceptable to sleep with her in the bed. According to her observations, she has rarely cried in her dreams these past few weeks.

After Yan Xi kept a small night vision light, he lay down and closed his eyes.

The little girl next to her moved slightly.

Yan Xi turned his head to look at her, and saw that An Zhi's dark eyes were flickering, "Why is there no sound from Xue? But it rains..."

Yan Xi was stunned, how to explain this.

"Look, because rain is liquid, it can flow, so when it falls on the glass, the ground, and the leaves, there will be vibrations and sounds. If it is heavy rain, the sound will be even louder."

Yan Xi actually didn't know if her answer was right or not. This should be a physical phenomenon, right? It's over, her second brother isn't here anymore... God, she's a liberal arts student... It's too hard for her.

But An Zhi blinked, staring at her with seriousness and admiration on her face, Yan Xi could only bite the bullet and say: "And Xue has no sound, she can't flow... uh..."

"But there will be a sound when you step on it, you can try it tomorrow..."

Yan Xi felt that his IQ was very anxious, and he barely finished speaking calmly. Secretly, fortunately she was still young, so she wouldn't ask: Why would rain be described as "prickling", "tickling", and "crashing", but snow can be described with these words? No, what can I use? why?

Wait, maybe she will ask that when she sees Xue tomorrow...

Yan Xi suddenly felt that... raising a child might be "a little more difficult" than she thought, and even more difficult.
