It snowed a few days ago, and the weather outside is unusually good today. The winter sun is not glaring, and it feels warm on my body.
Lu Jinghuai was holding Yaya, and Lin Yan was walking side by side with him, carrying a small bag. They didn't actually plan to walk far.
But that’s how it is when you take your child out. No matter how far, you have to bring diapers and milk powder in case the child is hungry or has diarrhea.
"Let's go to the park in front. I remember there are a lot of people walking there, and the air is good too." Lin Yan glanced at the sun and suggested.
They live in a detached villa with a park in front, which is not small. Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai have been married for so long but have never been able to visit the whole park.
Lu Jinghuai naturally listened to Lin Yan. As for Yaya, she didn't care where to go. The little girl was happy as long as she could go out and giggled all the time.
Lin Yan felt helpless: "Your daughter likes to go out, what should I do if she is not at home?"
Lu Jinghuai was quite calm. He shook Yaya in his arms and said, "If you like to play, go out more often. The scenery outside is beautiful. As long as you know where home is, you will go home when you are tired of playing."
Lin Yan snorted, but her eyes were full of smiles.
The two of them walked for about ten minutes before reaching the small park.
There are quite a lot of people out playing today, but most of them are elderly people. Occasionally there are children who are brought out by their mothers or aunts.
For a couple like Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai, it is rare to see a father carrying his child in his arms.
The two of them walked slowly, and their unusual combination attracted a lot of people's attention.
Someone else recognized Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan and came over to greet them, "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, are you bringing the kids out to play?"
Those who greeted him were all ladies who lived nearby. It was possible that Lu and their husbands' companies had some cooperation.
Although Lin Yan didn't get along well with them, she knew them roughly, so she would respond to them.
"Well, the weather is nice, so I'll go out for a walk."
There were also several ladies who, like Lin Yan, couldn't help but talk about their children when they were only a few months old.
"Our baby is fourteen months old. How old is your baby? Has he started eating solid food?"
The person who spoke was Mrs. Zhou. Lin Yan had some impression of her. It seemed that she had been to Yaya's full moon party.
"Our baby is six months old and has just started eating solid food, but for now he's just eating porridge or something like that."
Mrs. Zhou across the street has older children, and because she is a full-time homemaker, she does have more experience.
She kindly shared with Lin Yan some recipes suitable for babies of this age, as well as what babies of this age should behave like.
For example, "Our child also started calling mom when he was more than six months old and almost seven months old. You can start teaching him too."
Lin Yan felt a little unbelievable when she heard it, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Yaya in Lu Jinghuai's arms.
Do babies start calling mom and dad at six or seven months old? But he hasn't heard them call mom and dad yet. Is it because they haven't taught him much?
Perhaps because the expression on Lin Yan's face amused Mrs. Zhou, she couldn't help but say a few more words.
Lin Yan listened very carefully. It could be said that she and Lu Jinghuai had no elders in their families.
Although there are nannies, Liu Ma and others who can take care of the children without any problems, they are hired employees after all, and they will not talk too much about such common sense issues in front of the couple.
Many of the things Mrs. Zhou said were new to Lin Yan. She was full of gratitude and when they parted, she made an appointment to bring the children out to play next time when she was free.
Later, Lin Yan met some other ladies, greeted them and chatted with them for a few minutes.
These were all social activities for the ladies. Lu Jinghuai was not in a position to speak, so he just held Yaya and followed Lin Yan, causing many people to look at Lu Jinghuai more when he was talking to Lin Yan.
Of course, they knew Mr. Lu from the Lu Group, but they didn't have much contact with him.
I'd only heard before that Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were engaged as children, arranged by Mr. Lu's generation long ago. Mr. Lu kept his promise and married Mrs. Lu, Lin Yan, but they didn't really have any feelings for each other. But now, seeing this...
It turns out that rumors in the circle should not be taken seriously.
Tsk tsk tsk, just look at the atmosphere between the two of them, and the fact that Lu Jinghuai is willing to take the time to hold the child and accompany Mrs. Lu for a walk. I guess there are not many couples in the circle who have such a relationship.
At this time, Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan had no idea that from today on, the Lu Group would be known in the circle. Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu had a good relationship, and the two would even take their children out for a walk together.
At this time, after saying goodbye to those ladies, Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai walked around the small park. Yaya, who was originally very excited, was a little tired from playing, so the two of them went back.
On the way back, Yaya dozed off in Lu Jinghuai's arms. Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai walked back side by side, and there was no silence between them.
Lin Yan talked about Yaya: "We are both first-time parents. There are so many things we don't know. I didn't even know that babies can speak at six or seven months old. I thought they would be a year old at the latest."
Lu Jinghuai's eyes were gentle, yet serious. "Hmm. I don't know either. I'll ask my assistant to prepare some basic parenting books tomorrow."
Lu Jinghuai's caution made Lin Yan laugh and cry, but Lin Yan did not discourage his enthusiasm and nodded casually.
After Lin Yan learned from Mrs. Zhou that the baby started talking at six or seven months old, she replaced part of her parent-child time with Yaya with teaching her to speak.
Lin Yan began to consciously teach Yaya to call her "Mom, Mom" in front of her.
Yaya blinked her big round eyes and looked at her without any other reaction. Although Lin Yan felt a little disappointed, she was not discouraged. Instead, she taught her again and again with more patience.
He even made a bet with Lu Jinghuai behind his back: "I think the one calling Yaya must be Mommy!"
Lu Jinghuai also accompanied her in this childish bet. Looking at Lu Jinghuai's calm appearance, Lin Yan inexplicably felt a desire to win, and taught Yaya to work harder.
Until one day, when Lin Yan returned to the children's room after taking a bath, she heard Lu Jinghuai also holding Yaya and teaching Yaya to speak, but the person he was teaching was not "Dad", but "Dad".
"Yaya, Mom...Mom, follow Daddy's lead and call me Mom...Mom."
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, but for some reason the corners of her mouth curved up inexplicably, and there was a hint of smile in her eyes.
She knocked on the door, and the father and daughter in the children's room seemed to be attracted by the knock and looked over at the same time.
For a moment, Lin Yan suddenly discovered that Lu Jinghuai and Yaya, father and daughter, had some similarities in their facial features, especially that pair of eyes that could tell someone was a woman at a glance.
"Why did you teach Yaya to call her mom?" Lin Yan walked into the children's room and asked Lu Jinghuai helplessly.
Lu Jinghuai also knew that Lin Yan had heard what he had just done when he was teaching Yaya to speak. He chuckled, but his tone was unusually serious.
"Yaya is your child. You went through so much hardship carrying her. Yaya should call you mom first."
