Does that make it sound like you're not a woman?
The mission went very smoothly, and after completing the rescue, the entire team returned by vehicle.
As time goes by, Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an are almost seven months old, while Liu Dekai's son, Chaoxiong, will soon be one year old.
Now, Liu Shengrui can walk slowly while holding onto the objects around him.
"Xiao Rui, come to Mommy!"
After getting off work, Mo Youyou stayed home and played with her child. While eating sunflower seeds, she waved to Liu Shengrui, who was sitting by the coffee table.
"Xiao Rui, come here by yourself, don't rush, Mommy is waiting for you here."
Liu Shengrui, dressed in new clothes and looking like a New Year's picture doll, walked towards Mo Youyou with his little hands on the edge of the coffee table, giggling.
He walked unsteadily, looking like he was about to fall every two steps, but he always managed to regain his balance by holding onto the edge of the coffee table.
"Giggle..."
The little guy's smile melted Mo Youyou's heart.
"That's right, our Xiao Rui is really amazing, so awesome!"
"Come on, just a few more steps, our little Rui, come to Mommy's side quickly!"
Liu Dekai and Zhang Cuihua watched Liu Shengrui's unsteady steps, their faces always filled with loving smiles, thoroughly amused by the little guy's appearance.
"Xiao Rui, hang in there," Liu Dekai shouted, tossing Mo Youyou a toy. "Go get your toy from Mom."
“This is Xiao Rui’s favorite Superman, right? Come to Mommy to get it.” Mo Youyou and her husband teamed up to entertain the child.
"Hehe..." Liu Shengrui chuckled and approached little by little.
Finally reaching his mother's side, Liu Shengrui grabbed his favorite Superman toy.
"Our Xiao Rui is the best!" Mo Youyou happily picked up her son, kissed his little face, and made the little guy laugh again.
Now, no one in the family doubts that Liu Shengrui might be Chaoxiong; they all think he's incredibly cute and lovable.
The only regret is that Liu Shengrui, who is almost one year old, still cannot speak and can only make indistinct syllables.
"Xiao Rui, call me Mom." Mo Youyou taught the child, hoping to hear him call her.
"Giggle..." Liu Shengrui held up the Superman toy for Mo Youyou to see, and waved it around, looking very happy, but he didn't babble.
"Xiao Rui, call me Dad!"
"Xiao Rui, call her Grandma!"
Liu Dekai and Zhang Cuihua were also teaching from the side, and they were both looking forward to hearing him call their names.
However, Liu Shengrui just kept playing with his toy and didn't call out to them except for giggling, which made Mo Youyou a little anxious.
"Sister Luo, when did your child start talking?" Mo Youyou was having her first child and raising a child, so she didn't have much experience. She remembered this in the office and casually asked her colleague, Sister Luo.
"It seems like it was a few months old? I could say some simple things then, but I couldn't explain them very clearly!" Sister Luo didn't think much of it and just recalled.
“A few months…” Mo Youyou murmured.
She was a little anxious.
Because Liu Shengrui is almost one year old, he can't even say "Dad" or "Mom" clearly. The key is that she often tries to teach him, but with little success.
"What's wrong?" Sister Luo asked, puzzled. "Your Xiao Rui hasn't said a word yet."
Sister Luo was calculating in her mind; Mo Youyou had been back at work for almost half a year now, so...
Doesn't that mean Liu Shengrui is almost a year old?
If they haven't spoken yet, then they're really late in speaking, which is abnormal.
"I remember, Xiao Rui is almost a year old, right?"
Luo Jie's words made Mo Youyou feel very uncomfortable. She hated it when others said something was wrong with her child, even if they didn't mean it that way. As long as she felt it, she would be unhappy.
"No way!" Mo Youyou insisted, lying, "Our Xiao Rui can talk now, but he doesn't talk much."
"Don't worry, it's just a child's speech, it's not a big deal!" Sister Luo comforted Mo Youyou.
Little did she know, the other person was secretly holding a grudge because she had calculated the child's age.
"Hmm, yes, yes..." Mo Youyou replied perfunctorily, no longer continuing the topic.
But she took this to heart.
Every day after returning home, Mo Youyou became even more enthusiastic about teaching Liu Shengrui to speak.
“Superman,” she deliberately chose her son’s favorite character, Superman, and taught him, “Xiao Rui, say it after Mommy, Superman.”
"Knock..." Liu Shengrui rarely spoke, and although his pronunciation was not very standard, in Mo Youyou's eyes, this was already a great improvement.
Mo Youyou, keep up the good work.
"Mother."
"horse……"
"dad."
"Bundle……"
Mo Youyou was overjoyed. Although her pronunciation wasn't perfect, she finally managed to speak.
She wanted to continue teaching him, hoping to correct his pronunciation and hear him say "daddy" and "mommy" correctly. But no matter how she taught him, Liu Shengrui ignored her and just focused on playing with his toys.
"Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui!"
Mo Youyou held her son and shook him, trying to divert his attention from the toy superhero to herself. However, Liu Shengrui, annoyed by the shaking, pouted and pretended to cry.
"Oh, baby, don't cry!" Mo Youyou's heart softened again, thinking to herself, why should she be in such a hurry with the child? She could take it slowly.
"Okay, okay, Mom won't bother you anymore. You can play with your toys by yourself."
Then the little guy laughed again, happily gesturing with the Superman figure around, and occasionally smiling at Mo Youyou.
Liu Shengrui has a round face, and when he smiles, he looks like a little dumpling.
Although Mo Youyou was smiling on the surface, she was actually anxious inside.
She noticed that Erzi's attention seemed to be somewhat scattered.
For example, she has taught Liu Shengrui how to speak many times, but he can only speak very little and his pronunciation is not standard. It is actually not difficult.
"Honey, don't you think Xiao Rui is always spacing out?" Mo Youyou asked Liu Dekai about this.
After all, Liu Dekai is the child's father, so he has to help think of a solution.
"Distracted?" Liu Dekai asked, puzzled. "What do you mean by distracted?"
"He just can't concentrate! Logically speaking, Xiao Rui is almost a year old, how come he can't even say 'daddy' and 'mommy' properly?" Mo Youyou wondered.
She felt that since both she and Liu Dekai were of sound intelligence, Liu Shengrui must also be of sound intelligence.
Moreover, Liu Shengrui is particularly good at playing with toys. He can even disassemble a Superman figure and then put it back together, although he just doesn't have enough strength. But he understands the meaning of the assembly.
"Could it be that you're too nervous?" Liu Dekai pulled the blanket down to lie down.
After observing his son, he found that his son was not very talkative, but he played with his toys well by himself and did not cry for no reason. How wonderful!
