Generally, children can start walking when they are about one year old.
By the time he was one or two years old, he could walk very steadily.
Zhu Fang's son Xiaoyu is already three years and eight months old. It is indeed unusual for him to be unable to walk at such an old age.
When Ye Qingqing and Zhu Fang were chatting, they would inevitably talk about this child.
Whenever she talks about her son Xiaoyu, Zhu Fang becomes sad and worried.
It would be a bit tiring to hold such a big child when going out.
She and Tian Jifeng went out to have dinner with Ye Qingqing and Chen Hai. She could only leave her child to the nanny temporarily.
"Sister Fangfang, I really have nothing else to do tonight. I will go to your house to see your son Xiaoyu. Of course there will be no problem."
"But I'm not a doctor. I don't understand anything about medicine."
"I can only look at what I'm good at and look at the child. I can't guarantee whether I can tell anything."
Frowning and thinking for a while, Chen Hai spoke.
Regarding the matter between Li Dajiang and Zhang Zhongxiao, he originally owed favor to Zhu Fang, Tian Jifeng and his wife.
When he was about to treat them to a meal to express his gratitude, he failed to even spend the money. Faced with Zhu Fang's request at this moment, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Xiao Chen, our Xiaoyu has been to the hospital several times because he has been unable to walk."
"It's a pity that a lot of various examinations have been done, but the hospital concluded that the child has always been healthy and cannot walk. It may be some kind of mental disorder."
"Qingqing just mentioned to me that even Aunt Song and Uncle Ye admire your ability."
"It's already a huge favor that you are willing to show it to my Xiaoyu, no matter whether the problem can be seen in the end? We will definitely keep this favor in mind!"
Seeing Chen Hai nodding in agreement, Zhu Fang looked happy and quickly spoke and promised.
Tian Jifeng on the side was quietly drinking wine and eating side dishes.
When his wife Zhu Fang was discussing this matter with Chen Hai, he just pretended that he didn't see or hear her, and it was inconvenient for him to speak.
After all, as a member of the system, he has a bright future.
It involves certain feudal superstitions. If he gets involved, it will easily stain his political career.
This banquet was already halfway through.
After Chen Hai agreed to go to Zhu Fang's house and help their Xiaoyu take a look, naturally the few of them would not linger any longer in the plum blossom box.
Zhu Fang's home is not a luxury villa.
It is an ordinary house with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The only special thing about this house is that it is located in the courtyard of the Haizhu Municipal Party Committee.
When Chen Hai, Ye Qingqing, and Zhu Fang rushed to Zhu Fang's house, her son Xiaoyu was nowhere to be seen. Only an aunt in her forties or fifties was watching TV on the sofa in the hall.
As for Zhu Fang's husband, Tian Jifeng, after driving several people to the compound, he said he had urgent business matters to deal with and did not come back with him.
"Aunt Liu, where is Xiaoyu? Are you sleeping?" After greeting Chen Hai and Ye Qingqing, Zhu Fang asked the aunt who had already gotten up immediately after they sat down on the sofa in the hall.
"Yes!" Aunt Liu nodded and explained: "You and Mr. Ye were not here, Xiaoyu was noisy for a long time, and just fell asleep!"
"Are you already asleep? Okay, I understand!"
Zhu Fang nodded and said: "I won't go out at night. Xiaoyu will be watched by me. Aunt Liu, you can go back early today!"
Although the nanny she hired, Aunt Liu, was not a local, her whole family worked here.
On weekdays, she would hardly stay here at night, and would go back to her own rental house.
"Okay, ma'am, I'll come here early tomorrow morning!" After hearing what Zhu Fang said, Aunt Liu nodded quickly.
She took her belongings, informed Zhu Fang, then turned and walked out of the door.
"Let's go, Xiao Chen, Qing Qing, let's go to Xiao Yu's room and take a look!" After Aunt Liu left, Zhu Fang greeted Chen Hai and the two of them and walked into one of the rooms.
Children aged three or four are actually not considered young anymore.
In big cities, families with slightly better financial resources can already start preschool education for children of this age.
But now, Xiaoyu from Zhu Fang's family falls to the ground whenever he walks.
To take him out, either Zhu Fang had to push a stroller, or she could only hold him directly.
Faced with this situation, how could she not worry? How could she not be upset?
For more than a year, she took her son Xiaoyu to many places to seek medical consultation, but unfortunately, nothing worked at all.
The best treatment result was given to her by an old folk traditional Chinese medicine doctor she found through someone’s introduction more than half a year ago.
That time, after several days of treatment by the old Chinese doctor, her son Xiaoyu staggered and finally managed to take a few steps.
Unfortunately, on the second day, her son Xiaoyu was back to his original state again, and he still fell to the ground whenever he walked.
Zhu Fang was really worried about this child.
At this moment, Xiaoyu was sleeping soundly, with his little mouth open and clicking his tongue from time to time.
"The child is right here, Xiao Chen, could you please help me take a look and see if you can spot anything?"
Standing at the edge of Xiaoyu's bed, Zhu Fang looked at Chen Hai with anticipation and said.
"Yeah!" Chen Hai nodded lightly.
He helps people check their physical condition, usually with a three-haired axe.
First, he observed with the naked eye, and after finding no abnormalities, he used the power of his soul to observe carefully with the help of the ten compound eyes of the leech soul.
"Xiao Chen, how are you?" Seeing that Chen Hai had been staring at his son Xiaoyu without any reaction, Zhu Fang opened his mouth and asked tentatively.
"I can't see anything unusual at the moment!" Chen Hai responded with a frown.
When his soul left his body, only a small part escaped. Most of his soul still remained in his body.
Under such circumstances, he still has a certain degree of control over his own body, and will not lose contact with his body just because his soul leaves his body.
After his leech soul still didn't see any abnormalities, he returned to his true body.
"Sister Fangfang, the child is asleep, it's hard to see anything!"
"How about you wake him up and take a few steps in front of me so I can take a closer look?" After thinking about it, Chen Hai spoke and suggested.
"Okay! I'll try to wake him up and take a look!" After a slight hesitation, Zhu Fang nodded.
While calling Xiaoyu's name, she patted his little face. Seeing that he didn't react at all, Zhu Fang thought for a moment, then she simply picked up the end of her hair and tickled Xiaoyu's little ears.
I have to say that this trick of hers is quite effective.
At the beginning, Xiaoyu just stretched out his little hands and grabbed his ears from time to time.
When the itching finally became unbearable, he finally opened his eyes and woke up.
"Mom, are you back? I want a hug..." Xiaoyu yawned and rubbed his eyes.
Seeing Zhu Fang, he was obviously overjoyed, opened his little hands and started to act coquettishly.
"Xiaoyu, be good! Come, mommy will carry you down, and you can walk a few steps to show this uncle!" Looking at her son with doting look on her face, Zhu Fang picked him up from the bed.
"Mom, who is this uncle and this beautiful aunt? Where's dad? Why didn't you see them?" The little guy's eyes glanced back and forth at Chen Hai and Ye Qingqing from time to time.
He is very articulate and seems to be doing very well in terms of intellectual development.
"Xiaoyu, this uncle was specially invited by my mother to treat you. Be good, try taking two steps!"
Putting her hands on Xiaoyu's armpits, Zhu Fang carefully placed Xiaoyu on the ground.
‘Plop…’ a sound.
Xiaoyu, who had just tried to take steps, seemed to have tripped over something and fell directly to the ground.
"Mom, there is something wrapped around Xiaoyu's feet. Xiaoyu can't walk!" The little guy burst into tears of pain, but he held back and didn't let himself cry.
ps: This chapter is only about 2,400 words long. I picked my son up for self-study in the evening and wasted a lot of time. I couldn’t write 3,000 words.
