"The baby didn't cry loudly."
The child retorted hastily, with a slightly embarrassed blush on his face.
"Hey, are you still shy?"
The old grandma teased her grandson with a somewhat novel expression.
"This kid is not usually very shy."
She explained to Xiao Xiao.
"grandmother!"
The child shouted unhappily.
"Okay, grandma won't say anything anymore."
The old lady blinked at Xiao Xiao.
The smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes became a little deeper.
…
"Big brother, thank you."
Seeing that grandma really stopped talking, the child pursed his lips and smiled shyly at Xiao Xiao.
"You're welcome."
Xiao Xiao squatted down, his eyebrows softened, "Be careful next time."
"Um."
The child nodded obediently, "I will be very careful in the future."
The old lady reached out and patted the child's head gently, "Baby, you must do what you say."
"Uh-huh."
The child nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
The old woman hurriedly held down the child's head and said helplessly: "Okay, why do you click so many times?"
"Wait carefully and you will feel dizzy."
"hey-hey."
The child subconsciously covered his head and laughed a little silly.
The old lady shook her head funnyly.
…
"Are you together?"
The old lady glanced at the quiet and elegant girl standing aside.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Let's find someone."
"Let me tell you, you guys look unfamiliar, you don't look like you live here."
The old lady smiled and said, "Then you go quickly."
"Don't waste your time."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "No."
"Besides, it seems that the person we are looking for is not at home."
"not here?"
The old lady asked with concern, "Who are you looking for?"
Then he seemed to realize his rudeness, and the old man smiled sheepishly, "Look at me, are you asking too many questions?"
"No."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's lips raised slightly, "Let's find Hua Ziyun."
"Do you know him?"
"Hua Ziyun?"
The old man murmured, "Ayun?"
"That child from the Hua family?"
The old man's words made Yu Yanyan's eyes light up, and the corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up a little more.
"If there is only one family here with the surname Hua, it should be him."
The surname Hua is not a common surname.
At least this is the first time Xiao Xiao has encountered this surname now that he has grown up.
…
"Yes, that's him."
The old lady nodded affirmatively, "Because I always call him Ayun."
"When I first heard the full name, I didn't really react."
"Oh, no wonder."
The old man's sudden look of confusion made both Xiao Xiao and Yu Yanyan a little strange.
The two of them did not hide their confused expressions.
The old man smiled and said, "Did you just ring the doorbell and no one answered, so you thought there was no one at home?"
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Yu Yanyan was silent.
They hadn't had time to ring the doorbell just now.
Because she was in a tangled state, she couldn't make a decision for a while.
…
"Actually, there are people in their family."
The old man didn't know what he was thinking of, and his expression was a little difficult to distinguish, but then he sighed, "Ayun, that child seems to be seriously ill."
"His mother didn't go to work either and has been taking care of him at home."
"His father also spends a lot more time at home."
"But, the strange thing is-"
The old man paused, with a puzzled look on his face, "Their family refuses anyone to visit."
"We have been neighbors for many years."
"I also watched Ayun grow up."
"He was sick, and I and some other neighbors wanted to see him."
"But, the Hua family blocked us all at the door."
"Not only that, Ayun's friends who come to see him are also from this community. They have played with Ayun since childhood, but they are also blocked from the door."
"Young people are unwilling to give in and have been here many times."
"Then the Hua family didn't even open the door to them."
"Not just Ayun's friends, they are also reluctant to open the door to others."
"So a lot of people always think they're not home."
"Because my family lives right downstairs from theirs, I know that there are always people in their house."
"Just pretending not to be home."
"I don't know what's going on... The Hua family seems to be isolating itself from the world and trying its best to avoid more contact with the outside world."
