Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Mianmian is Going to Children's Variety Show
Elder Su knocked on the door and entered the room, only to see his wife and Little Auntie sobbing in each other's arms. He wanted to comfort them, but all he could say was "don't cry, don't cry."
Similarly afraid to mention Mianmian's parents, Elder Su, scratching his head in desperation, hurriedly called the brats who had stayed over last night to come up with a solution.
The Su Family's six brothers had all gone to sleep late last night because their view of the world had been turned upside down, yawning endlessly when woken up. Upon entering the room and seeing their mother hugging Little Auntie and crying on the bed, with their dad pacing beside them like a monkey, they immediately snapped awake.
The brothers exchanged glances, all with a look of heartache, pondering how to comfort them.
The things that would upset the child the most could not be mentioned, as it would only make her sadder.
Su Chenfei clenched his fists, came up with an idea, and approached the tearful Mianmian. He squatted down and blinked at her, "Little Auntie, do you remember me?"
Mianmian nodded her head. Seeing it was her much-liked seventh grandchild, she said with her whiny little voice, hoarsely, "I remember."
Su Chenfei flashed a big smile, "You remember your seventh grandchild, and that makes the seventh grandchild so happy. The seventh grandchild wants Little Auntie to accompany the seventh grandchild to brush teeth, wash face and eat meals, is that okay?"
Hearing that overaffected "to eat meals", those with a low threshold for laughter could barely hold back.
The seventh brother was only well-behaved in front of their parents; in front of these brothers and others, he was always cool and arrogant, but he had never used such a sweet voice to coax anyone before.
But, would this tactic to divert her attention work?
They stared at Mianmian by the bed.
Mianmian, recalling her mother's instructions, blinked rapidly to fight back the tears, and pouted, "Okay, okay... Mianmian, will accompany the seventh grandchild to eat meals, wuwuwu."
As she spoke, Mianmian couldn't help but start crying aloud.
Her sobs were intermittent, her hands clutching the small porcelain bottle tightly, "Dad and mom can't eat meals anymore, dad and mom are all asleep, and when I call them, they can't wake up."
"I miss dad and mom."
"Wuwuwu."
Su Chenfei hadn't expected his attempt at distraction to inadvertently bring Little Auntie's thoughts to their great-granduncle and great-grandaunt.
The bunny-like Little Auntie started crying even more fiercely!
Su Chenfei wished he could punch himself. He really was awful – why didn't he think that their great-granduncle and great-grandaunt couldn't eat now?
He awkwardly wiped Mianmian's tears, his fingers rough and cold against the skin beneath her eyes.
It was from too much crying, her face had become chapped and cracked.
Su Chenfei had never been so flustered before, scared that his touch might make Mianmian even more uncomfortable, he gently consoled, "Little Auntie, please stop crying, your little face is all chapped."
As soon as he spoke, Old Lady Su and the several brothers took out their mobile phones, opened the online shopping pages and swiftly ordered the best and most expensive children's face cream.
Quantity, let's start with a box and see from there!
Then they gathered around Mianmian again, some saying they would buy toys, others offering treats, and amidst the babble, Mianmian still cried her heart out.
In the end, it was Su Chenjin who frowned and said with stern clarity, "Little Auntie, as long as you do more good deeds to accumulate belief value and merit, your great-granduncle and great-grandaunt will wake up."
Mianmian's sobbing persisted, "I don't want great-granduncle and great-grandaunt to wake up, hic, I want dad and mom to wake up."
"Sorry, your big cousin refers to them as your great-granduncle and great-grandaunt, being your dad and mom. As long as you do good, your dad and mom will wake up very soon."
Mianmian, comforted by her big cousin, took out a porcelain bottle, "Mianmian knows that, but Mianmian still misses dad and mom."
"Mianmian will cry a little bit more, and then it'll be okay."
In her little head, it was full of memories with dad and mom on the mountain. Just thinking about not seeing dad and mom for a long time made her want to cry.
"But if Auntie keeps crying, she will only be wasting time," Su Chenjin's handsome face was expressionless as he cut to the heart of the matter, "The sooner Auntie takes action, the sooner they can wake up."
Mianmian looked at Su Chenjin blankly.
He was right; her constant crying wouldn't solve anything, only by starting now to work hard to awaken her parents could she hope for them to wake up sooner.
Mianmian dried her tears, "Okay, Mianmian will start acting now."
She had to earnestly divine for herself and her family to see what exactly she should do.
"Big cousin, can you lend Mianmian your tortoise?" Yesterday, when helping to deal with Ghost, Mianmian had seen a big tortoise in the courtyard.
