Xu An, who had figured it out, felt that the lock that had been tightly wrapped around his heart since he opened his eyes again had finally fallen off. He rubbed his face against the puppet again, then made a noise to attract his elder brother's attention, and then his eyes moved back and forth between the puppet and his elder brother.

Big brother Xu was just pretending, and he wouldn't really get angry with his two younger brothers for such a small matter. He didn't expect his younger brother to be so smart that he coaxed him. He was relieved but also a little worried. His younger brother seemed to be much smarter than children of the same age. He seemed to understand some jokes he told him. It is said that extreme intelligence will hurt. His younger brother was born in danger, so this made him even more worried.

Xu Mingchuan was thinking a lot, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and picked up his younger brother to tease him, then took Xu Erge away on the pretext that the baby needed more rest. Before leaving, he pulled Xu Er's hand and told his younger brother that he would come to play with him tomorrow. Seeing that he really nodded in agreement, he became even more worried.

After leaving the house, Xu Er wanted to go back to his room to rest. Xu Mingchuan pulled him and told him his guess. For a while, both of them looked a little solemn. This matter was not small. Although it was just a guess, it was not easy to hide it from his father and mother, so the two went to the main courtyard together.

It was a quiet night, the moonlight was like a silk thread, and the two brothers carried oil lamps and walked through the stone path into the main courtyard. The maid on duty outside the door saw them from a distance, so she lifted the door curtain and went in to report.

As the eldest and second Xu stood at the door, the maid who came to report the incident lifted the curtain and saw them. She bowed and said, "Master, Master, please come in." After that, she retreated to the door and opened the door curtain for the two young masters.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, hot air came out of the room. The two of them walked in one after the other without delay. They warmed themselves at the door and waited until there was no trace of coldness on their bodies before going to the inner room.

Mrs. Xu was sitting at the table drinking a bowl of nourishing soup. Father Xu was sitting on a chair reading this book of landscape notes. Seeing his two sons coming over at this time, he looked a little confused.

"Father, mother." The two saluted together. After Father and Mother Xu responded, they found two stools in the room and sat down.

Father Xu put down the book in his hand, took a sip of the tea on the table, and asked: "Why are you here so late?"

Xu Mingchuan was the first to notice my brother's unusual behavior, so he was the one who explained it in more detail. Considering that my mother was still in the first month and her body had not fully recovered, Xu Da did not dare to say it too directly, for fear that my mother's mood would be unstable and damage her health.

"Chuan'er, I discovered what you said a few days ago." After listening to his words, Father Xu sighed, stood up and sat next to Mother Xu, patting her hand soothingly, "This child's temperament is far beyond what a child of this age can achieve. He cried once when he was just born, and never cried again. Whether he was hungry, sleepy or had diarrhea, he would scream at the top of his voice without any tears. After attracting the maid, he would move around to tell the maid what he wanted. These are fine, the most important thing is that he seems to understand what we say."

"That's right." Xu Mingchuan frowned, "Just now I came out, because I was suspicious, I specifically told my younger brother that I would come to accompany him tomorrow. After he heard it, he lay on the couch and looked at me and my second brother and nodded repeatedly. Now my son is even more sure."
