Yan Yuan and his companions stayed at the Yan family home for one night, and reluctantly left the following afternoon.
After leaving the hospital, Xiaoxiao quickly adapted to her home environment. Apart from still crying loudly when she was hungry, the little girl was so well-behaved that everyone liked her even more.
Family members came one after another. After the Yan family came, Qin Xiu and Ke Kai also came every few days. As for Zhu Qianyu and Ji Huan, they would bring the three little ones from the Ji family to play almost every Saturday and Sunday.
The little girl doesn't care who comes to the house. She's friendly and kind to everyone. When she's energetic, she opens her beautiful, bright eyes and looks at this person and that person. When she's sleepy, she yawns a few times, closes her eyes, and falls asleep. When she's hungry, she shouts a couple of times, and her mommy will feed her.
So, Xiao Xiao's daily routine consisted of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, occasionally looking around curiously, getting tired, taking a nap, waking up, and continuing to eat and look around, and so on.
The day before her full moon celebration, the little girl who was tiny at birth was now a whole size bigger than when she was born.
The baby's skin, which was wrinkled and red when it was born, became rosy and tender after nearly a month of nourishment. Its chubby little face was pink and translucent, and its big, beautiful black eyes were bright and clear.
Xiao Xiao was born with a head of thick, black hair, and the day before her full moon celebration, thanks to her older brother's strong assurance, her hair was fortunately preserved.
What promises does the young man make?
"Grandpa, Xiaoxiao is a girl, she must like to wear braids. If you shave her head, she'll become a tomboy. Let's keep her hair, I'll braid it for her."
The little guy thought that his grandparents shaved his head because they were afraid of the trouble.
In fact, most babies have their original hair, including their head, shaved off when they are one month old.
Seeing that Zizai was so insistent, Yanbo was too lazy to care about customs or anything like that. He just let the barber trim the little boy's hair and considered that as completing the hair-shaving procedure.
Zizai then picked up a comb and braided Xiaoxiao's hair into two cow horn braids.
On the day of Xiaoxiao's full moon celebration, the Yan family in Beijing held a grand banquet and invited many guests.
Grandpa Yan said, "My Yan family hasn't had a wedding banquet in so many years, we definitely have to have a big one."
He was right. The last time the Yan family held a wedding banquet was more than six years ago, when Young Master Yan and Zhu Qianying got married.
The guests attending the full moon celebration were almost all prominent figures.
Little Xiaoxiao, dressed in a festive red cotton-padded jacket, was held steadily in her father's arms as she walked among the guests. At only one month old, she saw mostly dignitaries and nobles whom ordinary people could not even dream of meeting.
Even these high-ranking officials and nobles still flattered and fawned over her like a little princess.
Of course, the little girl was completely unaware of all this at that time. She simply nestled in her daddy's, mommy's, or grandparents' arms, eating, drinking, and sleeping as always.
The news that the Yan family had a daughter quickly spread throughout the capital and even the national high society. For a long time afterward, many people sent gifts to Young Master Yan, all catering to his tastes, and basically all of them were replaced with various foods, items, and toys suitable for the little princess.
In the blink of an eye, the days have slipped by from the damp spring and across the hot summer, and now it's early autumn. This little princess, who is showered with love and affection, is almost nine months old.
Just as her mother, Zhu Qianying, predicted, despite her pretty and delicate appearance, her words and actions were completely devoid of any ladylike demeanor.
From the moment she could crawl, her lively and energetic figure could be seen in every corner of the Yan family's large living room.
Many wealthy families have a lot of dogmatic rules for their children.
Unfortunately, the Yan family, from top to bottom, basically adopted a laissez-faire approach to the education of their children. Little Xiao loved to climb, so they let her climb up and down without demanding that she be more refined or quiet just because she was a girl.
Zhu Qianying returned to work at the studio after just over three months, almost four months. Before that, she hadn't completely given up her work; she had simply transferred it back to home.
After officially returning to work at the studio, she went out with Yan Shao every day and then went home together.
That day, as soon as she and Yan Shao entered the door, their beloved daughter's silvery laughter rang out.
"That little girl, I wonder what's gotten into her again..."
Zhu Qianying's words sounded derogatory, but her tone was extremely cheerful, and the corners of her lips curved upwards as she spoke.
"They must have discovered something interesting..."
Young Master Yan also smiled, he had always admired his precious daughter's ability to find joy in herself.
The two changed their shoes and stepped out of the entryway. Sure enough, they saw the little girl sitting casually in the middle of the living room, with the well-behaved Xingxing squatting in front of her.
Judging from its size, Xingxing was obviously much bigger than the little girl, but the little girl was never afraid of it, and Xingxing always seemed to dote on the little girl.
For example, right now, the little girl is holding its ears with both hands, rubbing her rosy face against its head, probably thinking it's very fun, and laughing happily as she rubs against it!
"Xiaoxiao, Daddy and Mommy are back!"
Young Master Yan clapped his hands at his beloved daughter, and the little girl's laughter stopped abruptly. She looked up at Zhu Qianying and Young Master Yan with bright, sparkling eyes, like two dazzling gems.
"Mom...Mom...Dad...Dad..."
After babbling away for a while, Xiaoxiao looked at her parents and, without realizing it, uttered the earliest words of her life that had any real meaning.
Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao were so excited that their eyes reddened. They threw down their bags and ran towards Xiao Xiao.
The little girl had already let go of Xingxing. With her chubby little hands, she tugged at the fur on Xingxing's back, climbed up, and toddled towards her mother and father.
"Baby, call me 'Mommy' again!"
Zhu Qianying walked quickly to her, squatted down, cupped the little girl's face in her hands, and gave her a big kiss.
Her jewel-like eyes gazed at Zhu Qianying, her little hands rose and affectionately wrapped around Zhu Qianying's neck, then her pink lips moved slightly, "Mom...Mom..."
After the little girl finished calling out in her sweet, childish voice, she smiled happily at Zhu Qianying, revealing a few small white teeth. She was so cute that Zhu Qianying wanted to cuddle her up and take her to her heart.
Yan Shao, who was squatting to the side, was also overjoyed that his precious daughter had started calling out to him. He leaned over to kiss his daughter's face and coaxed her softly, "Xiao Xiao, call me Daddy!"
Xiao Xiao smiled and winked at him, then pouted and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before slowly calling out, "Daddy...Daddy..."
