Were You Picked Up from the Trash Can? (2)
Ye Jiajia said, “Xiaoman, what if I give you my little brother? I don’t like him. My parents don’t love me anymore ever since I have a little brother. My Mom won’t braid my hair anymore, and my Dad can only make milk for my little brother. They do not care about me anymore.”
Although Jiang Xiaoman liked babies very much, she had a principle of never taking other people’s treasures. For example, although she liked Yu Qingshi’s Miaomiao very much, she only stroked it every once in a while and never thought of bringing it home.
Jiang Xiaoman shook her head and refused. “That’s no good. It must’ve been tough for your father and mother to pick up your little brother. Don’t be sad. The little baby was so miserable before he got home. After a lot of tribulations, it finally got a better life. You have to yield a little. We are adults, don’t fight with children.”
What? Pick up? Pick what up?
Ye Jiajia was at a loss.
Was a little brother something that you pick up and bring home?
“Why are little brothers who haven’t gotten a home so miserable?” Ye Jiajia thought for a while then said, “If he’s really that miserable, I guess I can lend him Mom and Dad temporarily, but he has to return them later.”
“Because all the little babies in your city are picked up from the trash can.” Jiang Xiaoman explained. “Yu Qingshi was like this too. He used to be very miserable. He had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and his whole body was very smelly. Every day, all he did was lock himself up in a room and ignore everyone. Your little brother should be similar, so you should be more magnanimous.”
Yu Qingshi: “…”
He never said such a thing!
Jiang Xiaoman could be really annoying sometimes! He was a little angry!
Yu Qingshi snorted softly, still silently listening to Jiang Xiaoman deceiving the child.
Finally, Ye Jiajia was really coaxed.
Because Jiang Xiaoman was the smartest kid in the class, she must know a lot of things.
Ye Jiajia thought about her little brother’s miserable life in the garbage dumping ground. Suddenly, she felt that her feeling had stabilized. If what Xiaoman said was true, then she would show more care to her little brother when she got home.
When she looked at Yu Qingshi, she asked, “Was it really that miserable?”
Jiang Xiaoman looked at Yu Qingshi; Ye Jiajia also looked at Yu Qingshi.
Jiang Xiaoman secretly grabbed his hand and whispered, “Quick, say something!”
Yu Qingshi had no choice but to nod and say in a low voice, “It was really miserable.”
Ye Jiajia decided to love her little brother a little.
But… but this seemed to be different from what she knew. Why were babies picked up from the trash can?
After hesitating for a while, Ye Jiajia asked in a low voice, “But Xiaoman… My parents don’t like to scrounge through the trash can. And… from what I know, an Uncle and an Auntie would sleep together, then after one night, the Auntie’s stomach would bulge up, and the baby was there! Why are babies picked up from the trash can?”
“Whoa!” Jiang Xiaoman didn’t know that and asked curiously, “How did you know that?”
“It’s all like that on TV.” Ye Jiajia lowered her head. Her voice was very soft.
Jiang Xiaoman only liked watching cartoons, not live-action dramas. Even when she watched TV with her Grandma, all she watched were dog blood dramas, the kind where a young couple was on the brink of divorce. Then, the mother-in-law came to meddle and caused a fight. You slap me; I slap you. She hadn’t seen what Ye Jiajia mentioned.”
“… Perhaps the Auntie on TV had a trash can in her belly.”
“Oh, that could be it.”
After all, they were both round and bulging and looked almost the same.
Ye Jiajia’s doubts were resolved, and she stopped crying.
In fact, she was not crying just because of her hair.
She was afraid that her mother and father would not love her anymore if they had her little brother, but it was fine now. Since her little brother had such a miserable life before, then she should be more generous.
Once her younger brother can make his own powdered milk, then she’ll let him do it by himself. Let him wear his clothes by himself, eat by himself and even let him help do her homework!
That would do.
Ye Jiajia suddenly became happy and felt that it was a good thing to have a little brother.
“Thank you, Xiaoman.” Ye Jiajia said, “Tomorrow I will bring my little brother to school and let you look at him, but you can’t take him with you. That’s my brother. He will help me with my homework when he grows up.”
“Okay.”
Ye Jiajia left happily.
For some reason, seeing her silhouette happily skipping away, Jiang Xiaoman who was a veteran of a hundred battles felt that Ye Jiajia might be getting a beating soon…
At this time, Yu Qingshi said, “I wasn’t picked up from the trash can…”
Jiang Xiaoman blinked her eyes and asked, “Then where did you come from?”
They had been discussing this issue since they were three years old.
After thinking about it, Yu Qingshi said, “Maybe it’s like what Ye Jiajia said. My parents slept together, and after one night, I’m already in my mother’s stomach.”
Jiang Xiaoman asked, “Is that true? When two people sleep together, they can have a baby?”
“Well, that’s how it is on TV.” Yu Qingshi nodded vigorously.
Anyways, it was better than being picked up from a trash can.
Jiang Xiaoman seemed to believe it. “So it turns out that you really can have babies when you sleep together.”
After saying that, Jiang Xiaoman was suddenly taken aback, as if she suddenly remembered something.
Yu Qingshi was also taken aback.
The two looked at each other, and they both saw the same shock from each other’s eyes.
