Volume 1 Chapter 401 One by One's Lack of Confidence
"Did you listen to your mother today?"
"have!"
Yi Yi clenched his fists to show that he was very obedient and did not make his mother work hard.
“That’s great.”
Gu Tingxiao praised her generously, and his eyes narrowed with smile.
“Great~”
"One by one, stick?"
Yi Yi asked again uncertainly, his little mouth forming an O shape and the fat boy pointing at himself.
"yes."
Gu Tingxiao nodded patiently. Yi Yi was instantly delighted when he heard it and hugged his face and gave him a big kiss.
Sheng Wanyan brought out dinner, and seeing how happily the father and daughter were getting along, she smiled and shook her head.
Gu Tingxiao really refreshed her understanding of him time and time again, and she also witnessed the lovely charm of her daughter.
“It’s time to eat!”
When Gu Tingxiao heard his wife's call, he quickly held his daughter in his arms and washed her hands.
Yi Yi was held in Gu Tingxiao's arms. It was because the dining table in their house was too high, and Yi Yi's small body was not tall enough to fit on it.
"Can you make a baby chair for Yi Yi when you have time?"
Sheng Wanyan also discovered this problem, but she had a fever some time ago and the house was in a mess and she had no time to take care of it.
Now that he has some free time, Gu Tingxiao can take some time to make one.
"good."
Sheng Wanyan drew the blueprint for him that night. The baby chair was very simple, the same chair that children in later generations would use, with a small dining table in front.
Gu Tingxiao knew what it was like after taking a look. There was still a lot of wood left over from before at home, so he started to prepare.
In just two days, Gu Tingxiao finished making the chair, and polished it very smoothly without any prickly spots.
Sheng Wanyan also made a cushion for Yiyi according to this size to prevent her from sitting on such a hard stool and getting a sore butt.
Sheng Wanyan did not make the cushion very thick, after all, children are not suitable for using things that are too soft.
The mat also has four fixed ropes that can be tied to the four sides of the chair so that it will not move with Yi Yi's movements.
"Yi Yi's new chair, do you like it?"
Yi Yi really didn't feel anything. She just felt that it was no different from the chairs at home.
Mainly because of her height, only four legs of the chair could be seen.
Sheng Wanyan quickly carried her in to feel it for herself, and now she knew the fun of this chair.
She can actually sit at the same height as her parents! ! !
You can also see the food on the table clearly and try to eat it yourself.
It is now early April 1977. Yiyi is already one year and eight months old and can try to eat by himself.
Sheng Wanyan placed her small bowl in front of her and picked up some soft dishes for her.
Yi Yi looked at the fish meat and egg custard with the bones already picked out in his bowl, and tried to pick up his own small spoon.
She failed to make it the first time, and she failed to make it the second time either. The delicious food was right in front of her but she couldn't eat it, which made her very anxious.
Yi Yi was so anxious that she was about to cry and looked at her parents with grievance.
"Don't cry, let's take it slow."
"Mom is with you."
Yi Yi quickly held back her tears, looked at her with red eyes, and picked up the spoon again to learn from her mother.
Gu Tingxiao was paying attention to the situation here. After all, it was the first time for the child to learn to eat, and the parents were quite nervous.
"Yes, move the food to the side of the bowl so it's easier to get it out."
Sheng Wanyan grabbed her hand and tried once, and finally she picked up the food and put it into her mouth.
“Ouch~”
As they ate the delicious fish and egg custard, their eyes narrowed with happiness.
“That’s great.”
"Try it yourself one by one."
Sheng Wanyan let go of her hand and let her try it herself to see if she could cook the meal.
Yi Yi heard himself grabbing the spoon and trying, but still failed, and felt discouraged.
Yi Yi became discouraged and frustrated and burst into tears.
"One by one, stupid~"
“Wuwuwuwu…”
The chubby little boy covered his little face with his hands and cried so sadly.
Sheng Wanyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What's going on in this kid's little head?
"Not stupid, if we fail we can just try again."
"Mom will accompany Yi Yi to try again."
"It's okay. If it doesn't work, try again."
"It's nothing serious."
Yi Yi wiped away her tears after hearing her words and followed her to learn again.
"Yi Yi, if we fail, we can try again. You can cry and vent your emotions."
"But you have to know that crying won't solve the problem. It's just a way to vent your emotions."
"If we fail, we'll try again. Mom and Dad will be with you."
Sheng Wanyan took the opportunity to preach some truths to her. She believed that Yi Yi could understand, and at least she wanted to let her know that crying would not solve the problem.
Yi Yi nodded. She understood half of what her mother said, which was that she could cry, but she still had to do her own things.
Yi Yi followed Sheng Wanyan and learned it again, and then he could slowly do it on his own.
Yi Yi tried again, and this time it was successful. It was the first time she was able to eat food with her own ability.
“Ouch~”
Yi Yi was very happy and put the food he had made into his mouth.
"Yeah~"
Yi Yi made a "yeah" gesture, and Sheng Wanyan clapped her hands and praised her.
"That's great, it worked."
“Great~”
Yi Yi was so excited that she clapped her hands to celebrate and waved her little hands in the air.
Gu Tingxiao loosened his clenched fist. Sheng Wanyan found it funny. This man really was...
Although he was obviously worried about whether Yi Yi could succeed, he still pretended to be calm and unconcerned.
Sheng Wanyan's teasing look made Gu Tingxiao feel a little embarrassed. He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed awkwardly.
"Wife, eat meat."
Gu Tingxiao picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
Sheng Wanyan did not expose him. She sat down and started eating, so as to avoid someone losing face in front of her daughter.
After Yi Yi was able to eat by himself, the atmosphere at home began to become lively.
Once the child learned how to eat, he would ask her if she was good after taking a bite of each meal.
"Daddy, look~"
Yi Yi demonstrated to him her successful eating moves one by one. Gu Tingxiao knew that his daughter wanted her parents to praise her.
"One by one, so amazing."
"My father can't compare to him."
Yi Yi was delighted to hear this and ate even more happily.
Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao both saw clearly that Yi Yi was a child who needed praise from his parents, otherwise his self-confidence would be gone in an instant.
Yiyi's temperament is innate, and her parents need to teach her slowly, give her enough praise and confidence, and change her tendency to give up easily.
The more affirmation I get from my parents, the more I like to show myself in front of them and everyone else.
Every time the family members praised her tirelessly, Yi Yi's temperament gradually became more determined.
From giving up at the beginning to encouraging myself in the end and telling myself that I can do it.
