Chapter Thirty-Eight: Then I Don't Go Back
In addition to the two burns on Qi Congming's upper body, there were also scabs, scabs, and bruises all over his body, almost scarring and scarring. Except for the places where it is easy to be seen, there are few intact skins on the body.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ye Xinyan would never have imagined that a small body could hold so many scars, and a small child could actually endure such devastation, and he would have to work for a litter of jackals in that family every day.
Qi Younian's face was also full of anger, and he said to himself fiercely: "This third child has raised a family of animals. ”
Mama Jin looked at Qi Congming with a heartache, not to mention the injuries on her body, and she was almost peeling off skin and scum. She asked Ye Xinyan in a trembling voice: "Yezi, do you want to wash him first?" ”
Ye Xinyan said angrily: "It's injured like this, what else are you washing?" Won't he hurt? After saying these two sentences, he realized that his tone was wrong, and he softened his voice and continued, "Let's take medicine first." Take him when I go to the county tomorrow, and let the doctor see it at the hospital. ”
Qi Younian gently coaxed Qi Congming: "Ming'er, come to the second grandfather, you sit down obediently, and let your sister give you medicine." You don't have to worry, people in your family won't dare to come here to beat you. The second grandfather is your grandfather's elder brother, and your grandfather is disobedient, and the second grandfather beats him. ”
It's hard for Qi Younian to speak like a tongue twister, but Qi Congming seems to be able to understand. It may also be because of blood kinship, Qi Congming, who couldn't be coaxed by Mama Jin and Ye Xinyan, listened to Qi Younian's words, the expression on his little face loosened a lot, and he really walked to Qi Younian.
Qi Younian bent down and hugged Qi Congming to the kang, and sat down with his back facing out, Ye Xinyan stepped forward and applied the ointment in his hand to the child's wound.
Although Qi Congming is young, he is hurt, of course it hurts, but he just keeps inhaling, and he doesn't struggle to cry, which makes people feel sad.
The scalds of the broken skin in the summer didn't dare to cover it, Ye Xinyan applied medicine to the child, and Mama Jin found a clean cloth towel and put it on his shoulder.
Qi Congming seemed to have a sense of fear of sitting on the kang. After he wanted to get off the ground several times and was stopped by Qi Younian, he sat in a daze, his whole body was tense, and he didn't dare to move, with panic in his expression, and he didn't make a sound from beginning to end.
Ye Xinyan even wondered if the child would be the legendary autism. She only knows that autism is a mental condition, but she doesn't know exactly what the symptoms of autism are. However, people with autism probably don't know how to listen to people's instructions and do things.
Qi Younian and the three of them looked at each other, a little dumbfounded by the current situation.
Mama Jin said worriedly: "This child is a child of the third room after all, and the old man of the third room will come to lead the person later, what should we do?" He brought this child back, and we can't keep an eye on him all the time. Even if Ponzi doesn't dare to leave such obvious injuries in the future, but there are so many ways to see the scars that can't be seen ......, what can this child do in the future? ”
Qi Younian pondered, thinking about how to beat Qi Yourong, a bastard, so that he could take good care of this poor child.
Ye Xinyan only thought about it for a short moment, and then came to his senses. Dogs can't change their eating, in this era, wanting that vicious Pang to treat Qi Congming well is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Ye Xinyan said lightly: "Since both of you are reluctant to let your children go back to suffer, then you won't go back." ”
"Not going back?" How can it be? Qi Younian and Mama Jin expressed surprise in unison.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xinyan raised her eyes and looked at the two, "Since this child has no way to survive in his house, it is better to stay in our house." ”
What Ye Xinyan said was related to Qi Congming's future, but this child was still staring blankly at the corner of the kang table without the slightest reaction. It is also possible that the child is too young to have no self-awareness of his current and future situation, but simply lives unconsciously by virtue of his biological instincts and tolerances.
"Ugh." Qi Younian sighed and said, "You think it's simple. Although his family does not want to see this child, but putting him in someone else's house does not necessarily mean that they will be willing. Your uncle and grandfather will definitely come to collect people, and there is no reason why we should not let them go. ”
Ye Xinyan looked at the little child with dull eyes, and didn't know if he could understand what they were saying now, but it was not good to say this in front of the child after all.
"Grandpa, this kid is covered with scars all over his body, and it doesn't make sense for my uncle and grandfather to come to us to talk, there must be room for maneuver in things. Let's eat first. After a busy day, I was also hungry, and I would talk about it when I had something to eat. ”
What she wanted to say was related to Qi Congming, and it was also very important to her grandfather, so in order not to affect her appetite, she still had eaten and said it slowly.
When Mama Jin went to the third room of the Qi family to deliver the cakes, Ye Xinyan had already made almost the meal at home, and said that the meal would start immediately.
Qi Younian asked Qi Congming to sit beside him, put the coarse porcelain bowl in front of him, handed him chopsticks, and said gently: "Child, it's time to eat." ”
Qi Congming looked at the bowl on the kang table and the chopsticks in his hand blankly, and then looked at Qi Younian timidly, as if he didn't know how to start.
Ye Xinyan guessed: "Does he not know how to use chopsticks?" I'd better give him that spoon. ”
The spoon was handed to Qi Congming's hand, but he still didn't move.
The eyes of the three people looked at a child in unison, not knowing what the situation was and what to do. Ye Xinyan wondered if this child had never used dishes and chopsticks to eat.
It was still Mama Jin who was experienced, took the spoon in the child's hand, and said to Qi Younian and the two: "Old man, you and Ye Zi eat first, and I will feed him." ”
Mama Jin scooped the vegetable paste with a small spoon, tried the heat and cold, sent it to Qi Congming's mouth, and said, "Come, open your mouth, let's eat." ”
Qi Congming's eyes turned twice between Mama Jin and the spoon, opened his mouth, and ate the mush, his eyes were filled with tears in a flash, and then rolled down, ticking down on the cloth towel hanging from his shoulder.
Mama Jin was startled, "What's wrong?" Is the paste too hot and hot? ”
The child's tears couldn't stop flowing, but he didn't speak. provoked Mama Jin to ask one after another.
Qi Younian also stopped his chopsticks worriedly.
Ye Xinyan said coldly: "What's hot?" How long has this paste been good and how can it get hot? Probably he had only seen other children treated like this, but he had never been deplored. ”
Qi Younian and Mama Jin were silent. From the moment the child entered the door, no matter whether he rubbed the wound during the struggle or applied the ointment, he did not say a word, let alone cry. How can you shed tears over whether a bite of a warm meal is the right temperature? The biggest possibility is the reason why Ye Xinyan said.
Mama Jin has a mouthful of mush, a nest, and stir-fried cabbage in the middle, feeding Qi Congming. Although the little guy eats sweetly, he has been timidly not grabbing food, and he looks well-behaved and pitiful.
Mama Jin didn't know how much the little guy's daily food was, so she didn't dare to feed it when she saw that she had eaten half a bowl of mush and a nest of nests.
Mama Jin coaxed him softly: "Child, let's eat so much first, and then eat when we are hungry, do you say okay?" After that, put away the dishes and chopsticks.
Although Qi Congming's eyes were full of reluctance, he didn't say a word, let alone stop him.
