Chapter 561: Why Don’t I Have a Younger Brother?
The little friend Pei Jing, who had never met his uncle, had no idea what an uncle was.
When Jiang Zhan heard Pei Jing’s question, he didn’t know how to answer for a long time, just staring blankly at Pei Jing.
Seeing Jiang Zhan’s expression, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
At this moment, Jiang Ran only hoped that Jiang Zhan would back off sensibly.
It would be best if he could stay away from her life.
But in the end, reality disappointed Jiang Ran.
After staring blankly for a while, Jiang Zhan suddenly squatted down, looked at Pei Jing seriously.
"An uncle is a title for a person, just like your mom; she is a person you call mom."
This explanation could be considered very detailed, and with the comparison, Pei Jing understood better.
Pei Jing, being a very smart child, tilted his head upon hearing this explanation.
"Then why should I call you uncle?"
"Because I’m your mom’s brother!"
Pei Jing looked at Jiang Zhan in front of him, then turned to look at Jiang Ran, "Mom, you have a brother? Why don’t I have one?"
Jiang Ran, "?????"
That is indeed a good question.
Since she came to this time, Pei Jing had never asked such a question.
Now suddenly being asked by Pei Jing, Jiang Ran didn’t even know how to answer.
Blame it on Jiang Zhan.
If it weren’t for him suddenly saying he’s a brother, how could Pei Jing have thought to ask such a question?
Jiang Zhan obviously didn’t expect that after Pei Jing understood what an uncle is, his first question would be this.
Feeling somewhat amused yet helpless at the same time.
"What’s your name?"
Upon hearing Jiang Zhan’s question again, Pei Jing turned to look at Jiang Zhan.
"My name is Pei Jing, and what’s yours?"
"My name is Jiang Zhan. Remember, I’m your uncle."
But Pei Jing walked over to Jiang Ran, stood by her side, "I want to listen to mom."
Hearing Pei Jing’s words, Jiang Zhan was obviously a bit surprised.
Kids Pei Jing’s age, when appearing with their parents, shouldn’t they treat them as familiar people?
Isn’t this the time to do and say whatever is told?
Why is Pei Jing’s answer completely different from what he imagined?
Seeing the confusion on Jiang Zhan’s face, Jiang Ran smiled a satisfied smile.
Her child, who she had carefully raised, wouldn’t just call someone uncle casually.
Even if this person appeared with her, as long as she didn’t give the word, Pei Jing wouldn’t follow along with others’ words.
Jiang Ran no longer looked at Jiang Zhan and instead, took Pei Jing’s small hand, ready to take him away.
"Little Jing, let’s go home. Everyone at home is still waiting for us!"
Of course, Pei Jing listened to Jiang Ran, and upon hearing this, he nodded his little head vigorously, "Okay!"
Seeing the mother and son holding hands about to leave, Jiang Zhan suddenly got anxious and hurriedly followed.
Jiang Zhan was obviously quite a chatterbox; even if Jiang Ran and Pei Jing didn’t speak, he could mutter to himself continuously.
Jiang Ran could ignore his words and not glance at him.
But Pei Jing, being still young and curious, listened to Jiang Zhan’s continuous chatter. Although he didn’t chime in, he kept staring at Jiang Zhan with a look of curiosity.
