Chapter 336: Long Journey

Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Long Journey

Mao Sanmei may not be able to hear, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t understand what Tang Tang was saying.

Despite being deaf and mute for many years, she could still understand some simple lip shapes, especially commonly used words like ’mom’ and ’dad’.

At first, she didn’t care much, but she quickly realized what was happening.

Both surprised and delighted, she even doubted if she saw it correctly.

So, she gestured to Tang Tang with her hands and uttered the word "mom."

But her "mom" was not accurate since she had never heard the actual pronunciation and was merely imitating the lip shape.

However, Tang Tang understood, and cheerfully called out "mom" again.

This time Mao Sanmei was certain she hadn’t seen it wrong and was overwhelmed with joy.

She immediately hugged Tang Tang and rushed out of the room, seeing Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang exercising on the balcony, she dashed over with Tang Tang.

Both of them were a bit startled, but soon understood why.

Because Tang Tang saw them both and called out "brother" and "sister," not missing her characteristic "han" ending.

Ruan Hongzhuang looked at Shen Siyuan in surprise, knowing that Tang Tang starting to speak must be related to him, and indeed saw Shen Siyuan silently nod.

Mao Sanmei opened her mouth but found herself too anxious to express her feelings. She quickly put Tang Tang down, returned to the room to grab a tablet, and hurried back out.

With the tablet, Shen Siyuan finally understood what Mao Sanmei wanted to say.

He gave her a firm answer, indicating that Tang Tang had learned to speak.

Hearing the answer, Mao Sanmei seemed to be stunned by the immense joy, standing there in a daze.

It was only when Ruan Hongzhuang gently patted her that she asked, "Are you okay?"

Mao Sanmei then came to her senses and crouched down, hugging Tang Tang tightly and began to cry.

Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t step forward to comfort her. Sometimes, releasing emotions is good; keeping them bottled up can lead to illness.

Mao Sanmei, being deaf and mute herself, knew the suffering of a deaf-mute person. She didn’t want her own child to end up like her, but reality had struck her hard.

However, now that Tang Tang had learned to speak, it felt like an ascent from Hell to Heaven in an instant, her emotions welled up, and she couldn’t help crying loudly.

Tang Tang, unable to hear Mao Sanmei’s cries, naturally couldn’t empathize but saw her crying and reached out to wipe her tears, patting her head, seemingly offering comfort.

"Mom... mom..."

Although she had learned quite a few words, she hadn’t learned how to comfort someone, so she kept calling out "mom."

At this moment, Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang noticed that the little one’s voice was very pleasant, like wind chimes blown by the wind, clear and melodious.

Jiang Yingxue was awakened by Mao Sanmei’s crying and walked out of her room in her pajamas.

"What happened?" she asked in surprise.

But she quickly understood the reason when Tang Tang saw her and called her "Grandma."

Jiang Yingxue was also surprised, and just like Ruan Hongzhuang earlier, her gaze turned towards Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan nodded again, then walked back inside the house. It seemed their morning exercise was canceled.

So, he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, as it was his last meal at home today. After breakfast, he would depart.

Seeing this, Ruan Hongzhuang followed to help.

Hmm—

To keep an eye on his busyness.

Jiang Yingxue, seeing this, also went back to her room.

Mao Sanmei cried for a while before coming back to her senses, then saw Shen Siyuan busy in the kitchen, which made her a bit flustered.

What was she doing? She was the nanny; how could she let the master of the house fuss over breakfast alone? She quickly placed Tang Tang on the sofa, set her down, and hurried into the kitchen.

"No need, I’ll handle it. You take Tang Tang to wash and change clothes," Shen Siyuan said.

Mao Sanmei saw Shen Siyuan’s insistence and did not continue to "speak."

Meanwhile, Tang Tang slid down from the sofa, poking her bottom up as she climbed onto a high stool. Ruan Hongzhuang was sitting beside her, watching her with amusement.

But she stealthily stretched out a leg to prevent her from falling.

Waited for her to struggle for a while, finally managing to climb onto the stool, but someone lifted her up from behind.

This made her quite displeased, so she spoke up: "Sister Duoduo airplane, puppies and kittens flying everywhere, big bread grows on trees, the scent of roasted meat is confusing..."

A barrage of nonsensical words, which left Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang completely baffled, especially since her articulation was clear and her tone was proper, making the contrast hilariously apparent.

"What does she mean?"

"How would I know?"

"Didn’t you teach her this?"

"No, it was Xiao Yue and the others."

"Uh..."

"Where are Xiao Yue and the others?"

Shen Siyuan pointed beside her, then Dou Dou was the first to appear.

Seeing Ruan Hongzhuang’s calm demeanor, she was somewhat surprised and asked, "Didn’t I scare you?"

"You need more practice," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Dou Dou scratched her head, looking silly and cute, which made Ruan Hongzhuang think of Taozi and couldn’t help but pinch her face.

At that moment, Duoduo and Xiao Yue also appeared nearby.

Shen Siyuan said to Xiao Yue, "I originally wanted to take you with me, but seeing Tang Tang like this, she probably still needs your teaching for a while. Stay at home for now, once Tang Tang can basically talk, come find us."

Tang Tang was making rapid progress, it shouldn’t take too much time.

Xiao Yue heard this and was slightly silent; she actually wanted to leave with Shen Siyuan.

But she also knew Shen Siyuan was very fond of Tang Tang, so she eventually nodded in agreement.

Dou Dou, on the other hand, was eagerly raising her hand wanting to stay and play with Tang Tang.

But Shen Siyuan didn’t agree, thinking that the nonsense about bread growing on trees and the intoxicating scent of roast meat might have been taught by Dou Dou.

Mao Sanmei helped Tang Tang change clothes and freshen up, seeing Xiao Yue and the others without surprise.

Because she had gotten used to the three little ones appearing out of nowhere.

When Tang Tang saw the trio, she immediately ran to Dou Dou and then called out, "Roast meat."

"Ha ha..."

"It’s Dou Dou, I’m called Dou Dou," Dou Dou hastily corrected.

Tang Tang smiled naively, as she couldn’t hear Dou Dou’s explanation.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Seeing everyone laughing, Tang Tang also laughed along.

Indeed, Shen Siyuan guessed right, that gibberish was all taught by Dou Dou.

After breakfast, Ruan Hongzhuang and Jiang Yingxue prepared to escort him to the entrance of the compound.

"Are you not bringing any luggage?" Jiang Yingxue was puzzled.

Shen Siyuan didn’t answer her question, just extended his hand in front of Ruan Hongzhuang, snapped his fingers, and a bouquet of roses appeared in his hand.

"Thank you~" Ruan Hongzhuang gladly accepted them, and lowered her head to smell them.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingxue was a bit shocked, then she didn’t continue to ask further.

But when they reached the entrance of the compound, they found not only Lin Jianming and his wife waiting, but also Tao Guangsha and his wife were there too, and both parties were chatting at the doorway.

It seemed like they were having a quite engaging conversation.

Shen Siyuan: ...

He was just going out for a period of training, was it necessary to be this ceremonious?
