Zhou Xiaoyun has been having toothache for the past two days, and her two front teeth have been aching when eating hard things, starting to shake. It wasn't until one of them was about to fall out that she realized she was going to start losing her baby teeth.

  Zhou Xiaoyun remembered that her teeth replacement had lasted for more than two years before it ended, thinking that she would soon become a toothless girl, Zhou Xiaoyun began to frown.

  Especially these two front teeth are replaced first, if the new teeth don't come out for a long time after the old ones fall out, it's really ugly. A mouth is just a black hole, speaking with a lisp, thinking about it feels awkward.

  Zhou Xiaoyun tried hard to recall how long it took for her new front teeth to grow in when she changed her gate teeth that year. It must have taken at least two or three months, right?

  However, it is possible that the improvement in living standards and better diet have led to an earlier change of teeth.

  It's estimated that at home for more than a month before school starts, I can grow out of the door teeth, Zhou Xiaoyun thought uncertainly.

  While eating dinner, Zhou Xiaoyun bit down hard on a crispy pancake and suddenly her loose front tooth "fell out". Zhou Xiaoyun let out an "ouch" as she spat out the tooth, which landed on the table and spun around in circles before finally coming to a stop.

  Zhao Yuzhen smiled: "Look at our big girl starting to lose her teeth, let Mom take a look at which tooth fell out."

  Zhou Xiaoyun felt very uncomfortable with this feeling of speaking through the wind, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt that it was awkward to say anything, and her words sounded strange. She simply pointed to the black hole in her upper front teeth.

  Zhao Yuzhen said, "Oh, so the tooth that fell out was an upper front tooth. It has to be thrown under the bed, or a new one won't grow." After saying this, she picked up Zhou Xiaoyun's freshly fallen tooth and walked into the house to throw it under Zhou Xiaoyun's bed.

  It's said that if the teeth below fall out, they have to be thrown onto the roof. Zhou Xiaoyun was speechless with laughter, as if not doing so would prevent children from growing new teeth. Who knows who came up with such a ridiculous theory?

  Anyway, Zhao Yu Zhen firmly believed in this and when the Zhou siblings lost their teeth during teething, they were all handled in the same way.

  More than a week later, Zhou Xiaoyun's other front tooth also officially retired while washing her face.

  Zhou Xiaoyun secretly looked at herself in the mirror and was startled by her ridiculous appearance when she opened her mouth to speak.

  It's really too ugly when the front teeth are gone, especially the incisors. Zhou Xiaoyun vowed not to speak again until her new front teeth grew out.

  Then, in the following days, Zhou Xiaoyun adhered to the principle of not speaking if possible and using gestures when necessary, thoroughly implementing the beautiful virtue of "silence is golden".

  For a day or two, Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen didn't notice anything unusual. After all, Zhou Xiaoyun rarely spoke at home, but as time went on, it started to seem strange.

  The first to feel that something was wrong with her daughter was Zhao Yu Zhen. She was busy doing things and called Zhou Xiao Yun to get something, but she didn't respond even after half a day. As a result, when she turned around, she found that she had already taken the thing and put it behind her back.

  This child, things are brought over without a word, Zhao Yuzhen thought. After such a thing happened three times, Zhao Yuzhen finally couldn't bear it: "Da Ya, I asked you to bring me the water scoop and you didn't respond to me at all."

  Zhou Xiaoyun pointed at the water scoop in her hand, meaning wasn't I already holding it?

  "I'm not saying you didn't bring it, but when you brought it over, why didn't you tell me? These days, looking at you is like looking at a mute, you don't say anything!" Zhao Yu Zhen was getting anxious, would the child have gotten into some kind of trouble?!

  Zhou Xiaoyun didn't say a word and pointed to her own mouth with her hand, hoping Zhao Yuzhen would understand what she meant.

  Zhao Yuzhen looked at Zhou Xiaoyun and became even more anxious: "What's the point of using your hands to gesture like that, can't you speak? Is there something wrong with your mouth, like a small sore or something? I'll take you to see Dr. Feng." As she spoke, she put down what she was doing and pulled Zhou Xiaoyun along, ready to go.

  Zhou Xiaoyun had no choice but to speak up and explain, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. My mouth is okay, it's just that my front tooth fell out and I don't want to talk because of the gap." She didn't dare say that she was afraid of speaking with a missing tooth because it looked ugly, guessing that if she told Zhao Yujuan, she would definitely be scolded and slapped twice.

  After listening to Zhou Xiaoyun's explanation, Zhao Yuzhen put her mind at ease and started busying herself with mixing pig feed again. While busy, she didn't forget to scold: "Next time if you're called, don't be so silent, it scared me thinking you were uncomfortable."

  Zhou Xiaoyun agreed on the surface but actually disobeyed. When her parents said ten sentences to her, she would only respond with five or six sentences at most. As for Dabao, Xiaobao and Er Ya, when they talked to her, she simply ignored them.

  Dabao didn't have any feelings anyway, he's always out all day and originally had no time to talk to Zhou Xiaoyun. Er Ya's words can be ignored as they are not very clear, but Xiao Bao was unhappy about it.

  He followed Zhou Xiaoyun every day, and his sister, who had always doted on him, took him with her but didn't say a word to him. Often, he would talk for a long time only to get a response of just "uh-huh" or "oh", which made him think that his sister was mad at him, but he had been very well-behaved and obedient to his sister all along.

  Little Bao felt wronged and ran to his parents, tattling: "Dad, Mom, I was talking to my sister and she ignored me. I listened to her words, why is she still angry and ignoring me?"

  Zhao Yuzhen began to feel that the problem was getting serious, and Da Ya wouldn't have gotten autism, would she? In recent days, she also refused to speak, and when her little friends came to find her to play, she also ignored them.

  Zhou Guoqiang was also worried after listening to Zhao Yuzhen's words, but if he determined that Daliao had autism just like this, it would be too arbitrary! Daliao wasn't okay just a while ago, and this abnormality seemed to have started from the day she lost her tooth during dinner. Could it be related to not speaking to her?

  The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so Zhou Guoqiang simply called out Zhou Xiaoyun, who was hiding in the house practicing calligraphy, to ask him some questions.
