Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 59: Changing Teeth (1)

Zhou Xiaoyun began to have toothache in the past two days. Her two front teeth began to shake due to difficulty in eating hard things. Only when one of them was on the verge of collapse did she realize that she was about to start replacing her teeth.

Zhou Xiaoyun remembered that it took more than two years for her teeth to be replaced. Thinking that in the near future she would become the girl with gap teeth, Zhou Xiaoyun began to frown.

Especially if the two front teeth are replaced first, it would be ugly if the new teeth do not grow back after losing the teeth. His mouth is like a black hole, and his words are leaking. It feels awkward just thinking about it.

Zhou Xiaoyun tried to think back, how long did it take for him to get new front teeth when he changed his front teeth? It must have been two or three months at least.

However, it may be that the improved life and better food now lead to tooth replacement earlier.

It is estimated that the front teeth will grow out before school starts in more than a month at home, Zhou Xiaoyun thought uncertainly.

　　While eating dinner, Zhou Xiaoyun bit into the hard baked pancake, and immediately his swaying front teeth were "laid off". Zhou Xiaoyun spit out his front teeth from his mouth with an "ouch". The small teeth were spit out on the dining table and spun around in a circle before stopping.

Zhao Yuzhen smiled: "Look, our eldest daughter is starting to lose her teeth. Let mom see where she lost her teeth."

Zhou Xiaoyun is very uncomfortable with this feeling of leaking words. When he opens his mouth, he feels awkward and his words are weird. He simply pointed at the dark hole where his upper front teeth were.

Zhao Yuzhen looked at it and said, "Oh, it turns out that the tooth that fell out is the upper front tooth. Then you have to throw this tooth under the bed so that the new tooth can grow back." After saying that, she picked up Zhou Xiaoyun's newly lost tooth and walked into the house. Throw it under Zhou Xiaoyun's bed.

It is said that if the lower teeth fall out, they must be thrown on the roof. Zhou Xiaoyun laughed dumbly. Is it possible that if you don't do this, children won't grow teeth? I really don’t know who invented this fallacy.

Anyway, Zhao Yuzhen firmly believed in this, and all the teeth that were lost during the replacement of teeth by the Zhou brothers and sisters were treated accordingly.

More than a week later, Zhou Xiaoyun’s other front tooth was officially laid off while washing his face.

Zhou Xiaoyun secretly looked in the mirror to see how he looked when he opened his mouth to speak, and was shocked by the ridiculous appearance.

  It was really ugly when the teeth were chipped, especially the front teeth. Zhou Xiaoyun vowed not to speak again until the new front teeth grew out.

So, in the following days, Zhou Xiaoyun adhered to the principle of not speaking if he could, and gesturing with his hands when he couldn't, and thoroughly implemented the beautiful virtue of "silence is golden".

Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen didn't notice anything strange for one or two days. After all, Zhou Xiaoyun usually didn't talk much at home, so it would make people feel strange as the days went by.

The first person who felt something was wrong with her daughter was Zhao Yuzhen. She was busy doing things and asked Zhou Xiaoyun to pick up things for a long time but she didn't agree. When she turned around, she found that she had already picked up the things and put them behind her.

This kid doesn't even make a sound when he takes something, Zhao Yuzhen thought. After this happened three times, Zhao Yuzhen finally couldn't help it anymore: "Da Ya, I asked you to bring me a ladle to scoop water for me, but you didn't even say yes."

Zhou Xiaoyun pointed to the water ladle in his hand, meaning that I had already brought it.

"I'm not saying you didn't bring it, but you didn't tell me when you brought it. You seem to be mute these days, and you don't speak anymore." Zhao Yuzhen was a little worried. The child would not be born like this. What's wrong!

Zhou Xiaoyun said nothing and pointed at his mouth, hoping that Zhao Yuzhen understood what he meant.

Zhao Yuzhen became even more anxious when she saw that Zhou Xiaoyun was still gesticulating: "What are you doing with your hands and gestures? Can't you speak? Is there a small sore in your mouth? I'll take you to Dr. Feng's house to have a look. ." He put down what he was doing and picked up Zhou Xiaoyun to leave.

Zhou Xiaoyun had no choice but to explain aloud: "Mom, don't worry, I don't have any sores in my mouth and I'm fine. I just lost my front teeth and didn't want to talk about it." She didn't dare to say that she didn't want to say it because she thought it was ugly to talk with the broken teeth. If he said this to Zhao Yuzhen, he would probably be scolded and slapped twice.

After hearing Zhou Xiaoyun’s explanation, Zhao Yuzhen felt relieved, and she started busy mixing pig food again. While he was busy working, he still confessed: "Next time I call you, don't be so silent. I was so surprised that I thought you were uncomfortable."

Zhou Xiaoyun promised on the surface but actually violated it. If her parents said ten words to her, she would be fine if she responded with five or six. She just ignored Dabao, Xiaobao and Erya when they talked to her.

Dabao didn’t feel much. Anyway, he didn’t go home all day and he and Zhou Xiaoyun didn’t have time to talk. Erya didn’t speak fluently and could be ignored, but Xiaobao was not happy.

He followed Zhou Xiaoyun every day, and his sister, who always loved him, still took him with her, but she refused to say a word to him. Often he would only exchange monosyllables such as "um" and "oh" for most of the day. He thought his sister was angry with him, but he had always been very obedient and obedient to his sister's words.

Feeling aggrieved, Xiaobao ran to his parents and complained: "Mom, Dad, my sister doesn't pay attention to me when I talk to her. Why is she still angry and ignoring me when I listen to her?"

 Zhao Yuzhen began to feel that the problem was a bit serious. Could it be that Da Ya had autism? She has refused to talk these days, and she ignores her friends when they come to play with her.

Zhou Guoqiang was also very worried after hearing what Zhao Yuzhen said, but it would be too arbitrary to conclude that Da Ya has autism! Wasn't Da Ya fine for a while? This abnormality seemed to have started after she lost her tooth while eating that day. Could it have anything to do with her not talking?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it became. Zhou Guoqiang simply called out Zhou Xiaoyun who was hiding in the room practicing calligraphy and asked him.
