The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 386 Butterfly Birthmark
"Oh, you can actually smile? I thought there was something wrong with your face." Wang Sanlang's sudden remark made Wu Qianqian's smile quickly disappear.

Wu Qianqian ignored Wang Sanlang and walked towards Xiao Ayu, leading her to sit down at the table.

He then asked, "Why do you call me 'Miss'?"

“Mother said that we should call anyone older than ourselves ‘sister,’ but you don’t look very big, so you’re ‘little sister.’” Little Ayu was a little nervous. “Don’t you like me calling you that? What should I call you then?”

"My surname is Wu, and my given name is Qianqian. You can call me Sister Qianqian."

Little Ayu sweetly changed her address: "Sister Qianqian! My surname is Wang, and my name is Ruyu, but everyone calls me Ayu. The brothers call me Sister Ayu. You can call me whichever you like!"

Wu Qianqian: "Little Ayu."

"Oh!" said Little Ayu. "Then, when I grow up, I can't be called Little Ayu anymore. I'm already three years old now, I'm growing up fast!"

"When you turn 10, I'll call you Ayu." Wu Qianqian smiled and replied when she saw how serious little Ayu was.

"Uh-huh."

Wang Sanlang found their conversation boring and left after listening for a while.

After Wang Sanlang left, Wu Qianqian simply opened her small medicine box, took Xiao Ayu's hand, and took her pulse: "Come, let me listen to your pulse."

Little Ayu then realized, "Sister Qianqian, so you're a doctor?"

"Not yet." After checking Xiao Ayu's pulse, Wu Qianqian asked her to open her mouth and stick out her tongue.

They also checked her ears and found that Xiao Ayu had a birthmark on her left ear.

It wasn't particularly eye-catching; it looked like an irregularly shaped butterfly.

“Your birthmark is quite interesting. Most people’s birthmarks are usually bluish, but yours is light pink, and it looks nice too,” Wu Qianqian said casually.

"Where? Where?" Little Ayu turned her head to look, but Wu Qianqian pressed her down.

“You can’t see your own ears. Come, let me see your eyes.”

When she went to see her eyes, she noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Ayu's eyes.

"Little Ayu, it seems like there's something in your eyes—"

"Qianqian, it's time to go back." Doctor Wu called out to Wu Qianqian from afar as he walked out the door.

Wu Qianqian: "Okay."

"Sister Qianqian, what's wrong with my eyes?" Little Ayu asked, still blinking, not understanding.

Meanwhile, Dr. Wu was talking to Mrs. Wang, politely declining her offer to have dinner at his home.

Wu Qianqian saw that it was getting late, and that her grandfather must be eager to go back and have dinner with her grandmother.

He smiled and said to Xiao Ayu, "It's nothing, I just thought you got something in your eye."

She had only noticed that something seemed to flash in Xiao Ayu's eyes, and it looked somewhat familiar.

But before dawn, when I looked closer, it seemed like there was nothing there.

It's nothing serious anyway.

"I'll come back to check on things in a few days," Doctor Wu said, and then left with Wu Qianqian.

Little Ayu waved goodbye to Wu Qianqian enthusiastically: "Sister Qianqian, come visit me sometime! I have lots of delicious food and fun things to do!"

Wu Qianqian couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay."

After they left, Xiao Ayu went into the house first, checked on Wang Liulang, and drank some calming medicine. By then, Wang Liulang was already asleep.

Little Zhang was still asking Old Madam Wang, "Mother, should we wake up Liu Lang first, have dinner, and then go to sleep?"

"After drinking two large basins of medicine, what else can he eat?" said Old Mrs. Wang. "Tonight, you two should sleep here and not go to the steamed bun shop. Prepare some more food so that if he wakes up during the night, you can feed him then."

Little Zhang hurriedly agreed. "Third Aunt, it's all my fault. The little lamb didn't do it on purpose. It was trying to protect Sixth Brother." Little Ayu twisted the hem of her clothes, feeling guilty for the first time.

"It's not your fault. He was just being reckless. If it weren't for Xiao Yang stopping him, he might have broken more than just a rib. Ayu, don't overthink it. Go eat first. Your third aunt won't blame you." Afraid that Ayu would overthink things, Xiao Zhang specially carried her to the dining room, comforting her along the way.

Meanwhile, Wang Sanlang was in his study, sharing gossip with Wang Erlang and others.

"It's hilarious! I saw a little female doctor come to our house. She's not even that old, yet she has such a stern face. If you ask me, she'd be better off as a female tutor than a female doctor. What respectable family would dare hire a female doctor? She probably can't even become a doctor; she can only be a female healer." Wang Sanlang gloated.

Instead, he got hit on the head.

Wang Erlang shook his head at him: "Third brother, if Grandma hears you say that, she'll definitely punish you with a beating! Don't talk about others behind their backs, have you forgotten that?"

"I was just saying it offhand, so what?" Wang Sanlang muttered, rubbing his head. "Second brother, you didn't see it. She was so cold and aloof, as if she didn't care about anyone around her. Doctors are no match for scholars, so where does she get such high aspirations?"

Wang Erlang: "You say you're addicted? You've only met her once, and you're already belittling her to the point of being worthless. Where did you learn such manners?"

Wang Sanlang: "...Second brother, you've changed. You've become so long-winded!"

“I think Second Brother is right. Third Brother, you have a lot of opinions about that person. I’ve never seen you dislike anyone like this before,” Wang Silang said from the side.

Just as Wang Sanlang was about to speak, Wang Dalang's voice rang out from outside: "Dinner's ready."

Under the tutelage of Old Mrs. Wang, Wang Dalang has now developed the demeanor of an elder brother.

He was more authoritative than his father in front of his younger brothers.

The young men then stopped talking and went to the dining room.

Little Ayu was already seated in her place, talking to Grandma Wang: "Grandma, I really like Sister Qianqian today. She even took my pulse and didn't charge me. She said I have a little butterfly on my ear, which none of you told me before."

"It's just a birthmark, it might disappear as she grows up." Grandma Wang put a chicken leg on Xiao Ayu's plate and told her to eat her fill first.

At this moment, Old Wang also went home.

"Grandpa, where have you been?" Wang Sanlang greeted Old Wang casually.

Old Wang opened his mouth, about to say that he had gone next door and was thinking of letting his family know while he ate.

Before he could even utter a single word, he saw the look that Old Mrs. Wang was throwing at him.

Old Wang's face immediately turned cold, and he said sternly, "What are you doing, little kids, asking about adult matters? Go eat your food! Third brother, how have you been teaching your children? They're so ill-mannered!"

Wang Chuanfu, who has been so busy these past few days that he hasn't had a moment to spare and hasn't had time to teach his child, was like: "???"

Just a few days ago you said that you would let Sanlang continue to study in town.

They also said that you two would educate the child well and that I should do a good job in the village and not worry about the child.

Dad, you can't just kick someone after they've served their purpose like this!

Seeing Wang Chuanfu's unusually aggrieved expression, Old Wang pretended to ignore it and buried his head in his rice.

Instead, it was Madam Feng who picked up a piece of pig snout and put it into Wang Sanlang's bowl.

“You are what you eat, Sanlang. You should take good care of your mouth and not say things you shouldn’t say,” Madam Feng said bluntly.

Wang Sanlang: "..."

Wang Chuanfu: "..."

If one didn't know Feng's character, one would really think that Feng was being sarcastic or unhelpful.

Grandma Wang also picked up a piece of pig snout and put it into Old Wang's bowl.

Grandma Wang: "Eat."

Old Wang: "..."

Lately, I've been combining two chapters into one for posting; it's not that I'm being lazy or posting fewer chapters.
