Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Little Orange was almost half a year old.
According to developmental standards, a half-year-old child should be able to turn over and sit independently.
At this moment, the baby could babble and play with toys.
Little Orange had met all the criteria. Not only that, but she could also understand the adults’ language. Whether it was Mandarin or the dialect of the countryside, she could understand it. This surprised the villagers.
After all, it was really rare for such a young child to understand the adults.
According to the words of the older generation, if a child wanted to understand the adult’s words, it would definitely be at least ten months later. At her current age, one would only occasionally understand what wa said but not completely.
Other than the fact that Little Orange couldn’t speak yet, there was no problem communicating with her.
Although Little Orange did not know how to speak, she would express what she wanted to do and what she wanted to do through her own gestures and language.
For example, if she knocked on something, she would first point at the spot on her head where she had been knocked. Then, her finger would point at the spot where she had been knocked. The expression was very clear, and the adults instantly understood.
Not only did the Shi family and the Gu family cherish Little Orange, but even the villagers of Stoneback Village cherished Little Orange.
After all, this was the first time they had met such a cute, beautiful, sensible, and obedient child.
Therefore, when the villagers saw the chubby and cute Little Orange, they all wanted to hug her.
Of course, Little Orange did not let everyone hold her.
Whoever she was amenable to, she would open her small arms. If she was not willing, she would open her arms more and turn her head to the other side.
Gu Jianguo took out his phone in the study and turned on the video. He began to watch his granddaughter’s daily activities again.
Mrs. Gu walked in and answered the call.
“Mrs. Huang, it’s really not that 1 don’t want to help you. The vegetables my Mingming has farmed were all reserved in advance. There’s no excess at all. Even if I want to reserve some for you, I can’t. Alright, alright, 1 understand.”
After Mrs. Gu hung up the phone, her beautiful eyes lit up when she saw her husband looking at his cell phone again. After she walked past, she stood behind Gu Jianguo and looked at the cell phone. She smiled and said, “Why? Are you watching Little Orange’s video again?”
Gu Jianguo nodded and said, “Look, our Little Orange is so cute! In the entire Hai Cheng, no child is as beautiful and cute as our Little Orange!”
Mrs. Gu nodded and said, “Yes, our Little Orange is the cutest!”
Gu Jianguo glanced at the phone in her hand and asked in confusion, “Mrs. Huang, which Mrs. Huang?”
Mrs. Gu’s expression suddenly turned ugly. She said, “Who else could it be? It’s Huang Youlin of Qilin Corporation. She asked me if 1 could give her family some vegetables sent by Mingming.”
“Huang Youlin?” At the mention of this, Gu Jianguo’s expression didn’t look good either. “Why? Does their family still care about the vegetables our Mingming planted in the countryside? Back then, weren’t they the ones who mocked our Mingming for not behaving like a rich young lady and running to the countryside to be a village girl? Didn’t they even boast that their family only ate imported organic vegetables? Didn’t they claim that they wouldn’t eat Mingming’s vegetables and would rather feed them to dogs? Why did they shoot themselves in the foot so quickly and beg her?”
Mrs. Gu also said, “That’s right! Hmph, even if our Mingming’s vegetables are avaialble, she won’t sell them to their family.. Back then, they mocked her, but now, they’re envious! Hehe…”
