Chapter 1762 Communicating with the Children
Qiao Mei continued talking to the pigeon, but it ignored her. It even hid itself, curling up into a ball and burying its head in its wings. It seemed to be telling Qiao Mei that it did not care even if she skinned or killed it.
Seeing this, Qiao Mei did not force the pigeon to communicate with her anymore. In the future, she still had to rely on the pigeon to send messages for her! She did not want to annoy it too much now.
Going back to this luminous pearl, it was really quite a treasure. It could actually allow her to hear animals' thoughts and communicate with them without any barriers. She just did not know how to trigger the ability. It looked like she still needed to explore it slowly.
Qiao Mei put the luminous pearl back into the ginseng juice to continue to soak and nourish it. When she had time, she would study how to use it.
The next day, Qiao Mei arrived at school on time as usual. Today, the teachers did not ask Qiao Mei to go up and lecture in class, but then again, Qiao Mei did not have the patience to sit through the class either. She knew everything that the teachers taught and could even draw more inferences than they could teach. She felt like asking Yan Xi if she could be a student of the class in name only and just turn up on the day of the examination.
Obviously, this could only be Qiao Mei's fantasy. If she really did this, not only would Xu Ju have a hold over her, but all the students in the class would also protest.
After school, Qiao Mei walked towards Xia Fang's house. Before the school's new laboratory building was built, she still did not have an exclusive parking space.
Wu Duo suddenly came to Qiao Mei's side and whispered, "Where are you going? Are you going home?"
"What's the matter?" Qiao Mei asked Wu Duo impatiently.
"Can… can I go to your house?" Wu Duo asked.
"Do you even think that's appropriate? If you have something to say, just say it here," Qiao Mei said as she stopped in her tracks.
She was a married woman, so it was definitely not appropriate for her to bring a male stranger home, especially since Xia Zhe was not at home now. What was so important that he had to go to her house to say it? Why was it that he could not just talk to her in school?
"It's inconvenient for me to say it here! This matter… this matter is something very serious!" Wu Duo said.
"If you don't want to tell me, then forget it. I'm leaving. Don't bother me anymore." With that, Qiao Mei quickly left the school. Wu Duo could only watch helplessly as Qiao Mei left.
On the way home, Qiao Mei wondered what unspeakable thing Wu Duo wanted to tell her. All these people were really strange.
The next two days were the weekend and Qiao Mei could finally relax at home. It was rare for her to have a break and she wanted to interact more with the children. Perhaps there would be some unexpected gains?
Qiao Mei hugged Xia Fan and said, "Tuan Tuan, talk to Mom. You can say anything. Just say one word and Mom will reward you with some mushy cabbages. How about that?"
This was also something that Qiao Mei had accidentally discovered. Xia Fan did not really like to eat vegetables, even if she mashed it up. Although he would still eat it, he did not eat much. He only had a soft spot for mushy cabbages and would never get tired of eating it no matter how much he ate. He would even pester Feng Hua for it and one time, he even vomited from eating too much.
Xia Fan covered his mouth with his small hands and shook his head. Qiao Mei was amused by how cute he looked. This was the first time she saw him expressing his reluctance to do something he really did not like.
"Alright then, I won't force you, but when you grow up a bit more, you have to start talking to me! Otherwise, I won't let Auntie Feng cook your meals for you," Qiao Mei said dotingly as she reached out and tapped Xia Fan's little nose.
Xia Fan nodded with a pitiful look. For Xia Fan, food was more important than anything in this world. If he could not eat, he would rather that she kill him!
Qiao Mei turned her attention to Xia Xing. This little girl had always been very talkative. As soon as Qiao Mei hugged Xia Xing, she started to babble non-stop, as if she was telling Qiao Mei what had happened in the past two days. Unfortunately, Qiao Mei could not understand a word of what Xia Xing was saying.
"Yuan Yuan, slow down. Can you speak clearly, one word at a time?" Qiao Mei asked.
Xia Xing tried her best to communicate with Qiao Mei, but no matter how hard she tried, Qiao Mei still could not understand her. Xia Xing was so worked up that she hit Qiao Mei's chest with her small hands and her tiny face was scrunched up like a bun.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's all Mom's fault. Mom can't understand Yuan Yuan. Mom will definitely try my best to understand Yuan Yuan in the future, is that alright? Don't be angry," Qiao Mei quickly said to Xia Xing.
