Last year, he and Zhu Jin got married on this day, and a year later, on their wedding anniversary, their daughter was born.
Their daughter's birthday and their wedding anniversary are on the same day.
Shi Shangbai couldn't take his eyes off his daughter in his arms. He felt that he could never look enough. After looking at his daughter for a while, he looked up at Zhu Jin.
Years and decades later, until the moment before his death, Ishigami Kashiwa would never forget this day, this most satisfying and happiest day.
Ishigami Bai had attended a dad training center before. As the most qualified student, he was trained in holding a baby and was the best at it. But when he really held his own daughter, his movements were not standard. The nurses couldn't stand his fear of moving and wanted him to let go of the baby, but he refused.
After the nurse shook her head helplessly and left, Ishigami Kashiwa continued to look after his daughter and wife.
As he watched, Ishigami Kashiwa discovered that his daughter showed signs of waking up.
The time when a newborn baby opens his eyes is not fixed. Some open their eyes right after birth, some open their eyes after a few hours, and some even open their eyes after two or three days.
Ishigami Kashiwa was fortunate enough to see her daughter open her eyes for the first time after she was born.
At first, the eyelids moved but the eyes did not open. Then the left eye opened a little. After trying again and again, it took a long time or very quickly, and the left eye opened first.
His right eye was still tightly closed, as if it was glued shut by something.
Ishigami Bai couldn't take his eyes off her watery eyes. He watched her try again and again, from the initial movement of her right eye to the final opening.
A pair of gem-like eyes opened right in front of Ishigami Kashiwa.
A newborn baby's vision is not very clear, and there is scientific evidence to prove how much they can see, but Ishigami Kashiwa felt that his daughter was looking at him.
Ishigami Bai looked at her, his eyes gradually became warm and his heart softened.
Shi Shangbai sniffed, blinked, and looked up, only to see that Zhu Jin had woken up and was smiling at them father and son.
"Are you awake? Does it hurt?" Ishigami Bai leaned over and asked immediately.
"Much better." Zhu Jin shook his head and raised his hand to look at his daughter.
Ishigami Bai breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his hand so that Zhu Jin could see his daughter, and kissed her hand, "Thank you for your hard work."
"No matter how hard it is, it's worth it." Zhu Jin sighed as he looked at his daughter.
"He opened his eyes." Ishigami Kashiro laughed, "He just opened them. His eyes are dark and bright, just like yours."
"Looks like me?" Zhu Jin looked carefully.
"Yes, the face shape is like yours, the eyebrows are like yours, the eyes, nose and mouth are like yours." Ishigami Bai nodded vigorously.
"I look a bit like you." Zhu Jin looked at him and said.
"Like you and me." He was very satisfied to hear that his daughter looked like him.
Zhu Jin looked at Shi Shangbai's appearance and suddenly felt that the two were so childish. "You can't really tell when they are so young. You can only see it when they grow up."
"Anyway, she looks like you." Shi Shangbai looked at Zhu Jin and then at his daughter and came to a conclusion.
Zhu Jin laughed as he looked at Shi Shangbai and his daughter, and the ward was filled with warmth.
But soon, the warm scene was broken by the return of Shi Wei. Zhu Jin gave birth and left the delivery room. When Shi Shangbai received a call from Shi Wei saying that he was coming back, he remembered that he had forgotten to inform Shi Wei.
"Shi Wei, you have a younger sister now." After Shi Shangbai said this, Shi Wei hung up the phone and disappeared.
Soon, Shi Wei appeared in the ward, and the first thing he said after opening the door was, "Where's my sister?"
When Shi Wei saw the little girl, he couldn't take his eyes off her. "This... this is exactly like the sister I imagined! So beautiful!"
"Shi Wei, can't you see me? You don't even ask if I'm okay?" Zhu Jin couldn't help asking as he looked at Shi Wei, whose eyes were fixed on his daughter.
"I see, I see you are doing well, mom." Shi Wei finally gave Zhu Jin a look of mercy, and then immediately looked at his sister, "Mom, you must be fine, no need to ask, if you were not fine, why would my father tell me about my sister first, and he would not be able to stay here with a rosy face."
Zhu Jin felt that what he said made sense and couldn't refute it.
"Have you decided on your sister's name? What will she be called?" Shi Wei asked immediately after answering Zhu Jin's question.
Zhu Jin and Shi Shangbai looked at each other and said a name in unison, "Shi Yue?" They started thinking of names several months ago. Su Mu, Shi Shangbai and Shi Wei spent a long time choosing before they selected a few to show Zhu Jin.
Shi Yue was one of them. Looking at the child, Shi Shangbai and Zhu Jin said the name in unison.
Shi Shangbai and Zhu Jin smiled at each other and said, "Let's call her Shi Yue."
"Haha, my sister finally used the name I gave her, haha." Shi Wei laughed arrogantly and hugged his sister carefully, "Xiao Yueyue, I am your brother!"
The answer he got was crying. Little Shi Yue pouted her little mouth and let out a tender cry.
"She's crying, my sister is crying." Shi Wei watched without blinking, "She cries so beautifully, she is indeed my sister."
Then he looked at Zhu Jin reluctantly, "Mom? Why is my sister crying?"
"Maybe she's hungry. You guys go out first." Zhu Jin took little Shiyue in, and needless to say, little Shiyue was breastfed.
After Xiao Shiyue had eaten her fill, Shi Shangbai and Shi Wei came in again, still circling around Xiao Shiyue, and always looking at her even when she fell asleep. Shi Shangbai was still somewhat sensible, and focused most of his attention on Zhu Jin, while Shi Wei's attention was completely on Xiao Shiyue.
In the next few hours, Zhu Jin began to feel a little worried. Although the time was short, she was sure that Shi Shangbai and Shi Wei both suffered from a "XX control" disease. Shi Shangbai was obsessed with daughters, and Shi Wei was obsessed with sisters.
The disease became more serious as time went by.
Ever since little Shi Yue was born, Shi Shangbai and Shi Wei, father and son, had suddenly more common topics to talk about. They tacitly formed a habit of observing little Shi Yue whenever they had free time every day.
"My sister pouted..."
"Yueyue pursed her lips..."
“This little yawn is so pretty…”
"My sister is looking at me. She sees you wherever I go. Haha..."
"This hand is too soft and tender, I dare not touch it..."
"Yes, they are small and pretty, and their little feet are also..."
"Dad, I think my sister's eyes are very similar to mine. Look, they are so black and bright!"
"Boy, why does Yueyue want to be like you! Do you think it's possible to be like you?"
…
This was a conversation between the father and son on one day among the massive conversations that surrounded little Shiyue during Zhu Jin's hospitalization.
After Zhu Jin was discharged from the hospital and returned home, the conversation continued. Every day when he returned home, after Shi Shangbai greeted Zhu Jin, his next words would always be, "Where is Xiao Yueyue, Xiao Yueyue." His eyes would automatically lock on his daughter.
Shi Wei was even more excessive. After opening the door and coming in, the first person he looked for was always his sister, and he always went straight to Shi Yue. The person he was guarding was no longer Zhu Jin, but little Yueyue. The good son he used to be was gone forever.
"Sister, are you happy today? Do you miss your brother?" This is the first sentence Shi Wei says every day after coming back. Only after saying this will he greet Zhu Jin.
Since the birth of little Shi Yue, the status of Zhu Jin and Shi Shangbai has plummeted. Little Yueyue has been promoted to the first place and has become Shi Wei's favorite person.
Shi Shangbai felt a little sad, but as he felt more and more sad, he couldn't help but look at little Shi Yue with Shi Wei and discuss it together in the next second.
"Dad, look, my sister is pouting."
"She was blowing bubbles just now. I poked her with my hand and she vomited."
Shi Wei couldn't help but take action, which ended up waking up little Shi Yue who was sleeping soundly and started crying.
"Oh, she's crying, hurry up and comfort her, don't let her cry..."
After a flurry of activity, Xiao Shiyue finally fell asleep again.
In this regard, Su Mu, who was content with having a granddaughter, treated little Shi Yue as his own eye, and severely taught Shi Wei and Shi Shangbai a lesson, "Such a good child, you have the heart to poke her, this child cannot be poked..."
Su Mu was right. Compared with other children, except for being a little spoiled, Xiao Shiyue was the kind that was easy to take care of since she was born. Xiao Shiyue was fair and pretty. People who had seen her were basically fascinated by her and liked her very much.
Basil, Perilla, Poria, Forsythia and all the others used to come to see Zhu Jin, saying that they missed Zhu Jin. But since they had Xiao Shiyue, they all thought of Xiao Shiyue. They came several times more often than before, and brought all kinds of toys and clothes for free. Zhu Jin has been sidelined ever since.
Basil and Perilla came with their son Luo Xinyi, Lianqiao came with her daughter, and they had family gatherings from time to time, which made Fuling and others more and more jealous. The idea of getting married and having children occupied their minds.
When little Shiyue was one month old, a full-month banquet was held. Compared to the wedding, this time there were fewer people invited, except for close relatives, no one was invited.
After the full month, Zhu Jin did not rush to the clinic to continue seeing patients, but stayed at home to take care of little Shiyue. Little Shiyue was too young, and she could not leave her to a full-time nanny.
For more than half a year afterwards, Zhu Jin concentrated on taking care of her daughter at home. In between taking care of her daughter, she was busy with things that she had not had time to do before. She went to school to teach ancient medical skills, practiced calligraphy and embroidery, and met people like Changshan and Qu Shao who were working for the inheritance of ancient culture.
For half a year, Zhu Jin lived an extremely fulfilling life.
In the past six months, Zhu Jin's life has been comfortable, ordinary and fulfilling. In contrast, Shi Shangbai and Shi Wei also feel extremely happy. Every time they go home, they can see Zhu Jin and little Shi Yue. They surround little Shi Yue who is growing and changing day by day, and every day is filled with surprises and laughter.
Zhu Jin takes care of little Shi Yue every day, doing everything by herself. Shi Shangbai and Shi Wei can't do this, but they are both record freaks. Little Shi Yue can lift her head, turn over, sit up, crawl and stand up. These first times were all recorded by Shi Wei and Shi Shangbai.
Influenced by them, Zhu Jin sometimes took photos and recorded them, but each time she recorded them, they were different from those of Shi Shangbai and Shi Wei. She mostly recorded little Shi Yue crying, laughing, drooling, falling down, and even her babbling.
Shi Shangbai came across this book by chance one day. Seeing his daughter's embarrassing look, he laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. He read it over and over again.
The year 3711 arrived and the new year's free clinic began. Zhu Jin started to go to the free clinic every day and no longer brought little Shiyue with him.
Little Shiyue, who was more than eight months old, was not used to Zhu Jin's sudden departure and cried non-stop on the first day. Fortunately, Shi Wei was on vacation and he was in charge of Shiyue, and she stopped crying.
Little Shi Yue is more than eight months old and has been taken out of the house for a long time. In order to make Shi Yue happy, Shi Wei decided to take her out to the amusement park. The amusement park Shi Wei chose is quite large, with playgrounds for all ages from six months to ten years old.
Shi Wei looked different when he grew up. Except for a few people, many people didn't recognize him. Shi Wei and Shi Yue were 20 years apart in age. When they went out, no one thought they were brother and sister. When they saw them, they thought they were father and daughter. So, Shi Wei's brother-sister journey became a father-daughter journey in the eyes of others.
After Shi Wei carried Shi Yue into the playground, a mother sitting next to him praised, "Your daughter is so cute!"
Shi Wei was stunned for a moment, then hurried to explain.
However, as similar compliments became more and more frequent, Shi Wei finally gave up on explaining the fact that Shi Yue was her sister, not her daughter.
