Jiang Si let her pull her along until she saw the snow stains that the children had trampled all over the backyard.
Knowing that Zhao Zhao loves cleanliness and beauty, Jiang Si shook her little hand, "Come on, Mommy will carry you."
Zhao Zhao shook her head sensibly, "Mom, I'm a big girl now, I can walk by myself."
Dad said he started sleeping alone when he was three years old.
The brother and sister, determined to surpass their father, started sleeping in separate rooms and beds just after they turned two.
Sometimes they wake up early, and the two of them will make themselves something to eat after getting up.
Jiang Si still clearly remembers the scene when she woke up that day and saw the two little ones sitting at the dining table by themselves, peeling eggs and chatting quietly.
This was absolutely terrifying for her!
Of course, at their current age, the two little ones can't cook anything fancy.
At most, it's just a simple boiled egg with some milk.
Fortunately, when Chris returned to Gaul at the beginning of the year, Jiang Si asked her to buy a lot of practical small appliances.
Among them were small thermos flasks.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't feel comfortable leaving the large metal thermos at home unattended.
Overall, she's a really easy mom!
The child is also taking good care of himself.
They are already quite independent now, without even having to grow up.
Despite it being something to be happy about, Jiang Si inexplicably felt a sense of loss, as if she were not needed.
So she insisted, "The snow on the ground has melted, and stepping on it will get your little boots dirty. How about Mommy carries you?"
Seeing that her mother was so insistent, Zhao Zhao didn't want to spoil her mood.
The moment Zhaozhao climbed onto Jiang Si's back, she pressed her little face against hers and asked, "Mommy, am I heavy?"
Dad was worried she'd be cold, so today he brought her three sweaters, two pairs of thermal pants, and a big cotton-padded coat over them.
They wore hats and scarves as well.
She felt like a round, plump ball!
“Okay, it is quite heavy,” Jiang Si said honestly, “but Mom can still hold on for ten minutes.”
This is how the mother and daughter have always communicated, and Zhao Zhao is used to it.
She pressed her cheek against Jiang Si's and said, "Mommy, I love you so much!"
When it comes to expressing affection, the two little ones are practically born with a natural talent.
"Mom loves you too."
After Jiang Si finished speaking, she casually asked, "I just heard from your teacher He that you participated in an abacus competition?"
"Um!"
Zhao Zhao was also about to tell her mother about this, "Yesterday, Mom and Dad were so busy. When Great-Grandpa came to pick up my brother and me, I asked him to fill out the form for me, but I wrote my own name!"
As he spoke, there was a hint of pride in his tone.
She could already write her own name when she was two years old.
My parents taught me.
She also knows a lot of characters and can recite many, many ancient poems!
Listening to her daughter recount these events vividly, Jiang Si first affirmed her daughter's courage.
“Our Zhaozhao is amazing, she even dared to participate in the competition on her own.”
Then, after carefully considering her words, she asked, "Zhaozhao, do you know which group you signed up for?"
"Yes, I know," Zhao Zhao said proudly about the youth group.
As expected, Jiang Si knew this would happen.
If it weren't for Zhao Zhao's own idea, the old man would never have helped her select the youth group.
Without any anxiety or questioning, Jiang Si asked calmly.
"Zhaozhao, can you tell Mom why you signed up for the youth group? Actually, Mom feels that the preschool group is more suitable for you."
Zhao Zhao blinked her big eyes, "Mommy, but I already know all the questions for the preschool group."
Jiang Si: "..." You already know it?
Before she could speak, Zhao Zhao continued, "Mom, didn't you say that people can't stay in their comfort zone forever, and that they have to challenge themselves in order to improve?"
Jiang Si was momentarily dazed upon hearing this; it did sound like something she would say.
She simply couldn't remember when she said it.
His tone was somewhat uncertain, "Did I say that?"
"Yes, that's what Mom said!"
Zhao Zhao nodded her little head firmly, "When my brother and I turned two, Aunt Chris had a bit too much to drink that noon. You two were lying on the sofa and you were talking. Mom, you even said that life is too short to be content with the status quo..."
Well, that happened several months ago, and Jiang Si really can't remember it clearly.
So the topic had to be brought up again.
Jiang Si knew that Zhao Zhao had already learned abacus in kindergarten.
She wasn't sure what level of education was required in kindergarten. "Zhaozhao, do you know how difficult the youth group competition is?"
Zhao Zhao nodded again, "I know, Brother Weidong and Brother Weimin both told me."
"Are you confident about this competition?" Jiang Si asked again.
"Mom, you said it before, the result isn't important, what's important is to enjoy the process!"
Jiang Si: "..."
It seems she's been giving her child a lot of inspirational advice over the past two years!
She paused, not mentioning withdrawing from the competition again, and said, "Think it through, but there's one thing: you're not allowed to cry if you lose!"
Zhao Zhao agreed very quickly, but then, "My dear mother..."
