"Oh my god, the baby can actually talk! And the first thing he said was to me."
An'an cried with excitement.
"Baby, it's Mommy!"
"Look, this is your father. Quickly call him 'Dad, Dad'."
An'an quickly pulled Xie Chuan to let the baby call him.
But unfortunately, the child's abilities are limited at present, and he can only call out "Mom".
"It's okay, don't worry. As long as he can talk now, he'll gradually learn everything else."
Xie Chuan was also overjoyed, and the two of them looked at the little one with eyes full of happiness and contentment.
"It seems that the child really does call out to whoever he spends the most time with first."
"The moment my child called me 'Mom' just now, I felt that everything was worth it."
An'an was so moved that she cried. Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang had always been there for them when they were little, only leaving briefly to pursue their dreams when they grew up and started school. So An'an followed suit and didn't want her son to miss out on being there for them.
We should wait until he's older before discussing it.
"You've worked hard, honey."
Xie Chuan gently kissed away the tears from An An's eyes.
When the weather is nice, An'an will bring her baby to the garden to sunbathe. Although Xie Chuan goes to work during the day, she is never bored because either her parents or her in-laws come over every day. Sometimes they come at the same time, making the house very lively.
Most of the time, she takes her children out shopping and playing, which is quite fun.
However, the parents always bring a lot of things for their child every time they come.
It's clothes, toys, baby formula, jewelry, and so on.
They will definitely not come empty-handed.
"Mom and Dad, please don't bring anything when you come to visit anymore. There's just no room left in the house. I've even cleared out two rooms specifically for storing things; it's like a warehouse."
"These are all for the baby, we'll need them sooner or later, but we should buy less formula so it doesn't expire."
Yu Jiu took a step back.
“My mother-in-law is right. I’ll buy more toys for the baby from now on, so he can play with them when he’s older.”
Mrs. Xie happily agreed, saying that they still needed to buy other things.
An'an's persuasion seemed to have no effect.
As the child grows up, he goes from only being able to say "Mom" to being able to call out the names of everyone in the family, even his uncle, and he also learns to walk.
But this child is also very lively and quite mischievous.
These are common problems among children.
"Xie Si'an, if you don't put this away properly, I'll have your dad deal with you when we get back."
An'an was just threatening, but neither of them would actually hit the child. However, it's important to choose the right educational methods. If a child isn't properly taught when they're young, they'll have many problems when they grow up.
Many children make mistakes because they didn't develop good habits when they were young. An'an even enrolled in a class to learn systematically so he could teach his child well.
I must say the teacher's methods are quite effective: don't spoil your child too much, but don't be too strict with them either.
Be strict yet kind; praise children for good behavior promptly, and stop any bad behavior immediately.
"I feel like our son is becoming more and more obedient,"
Xie Chuan also felt that the effect was quite obvious.
“I always said that systematic learning is very useful. I don’t want my child to have any bad habits in the future, or I would feel very guilty.”
"Wife, you are such a good mother."
"Is the child asleep?"
"She's asleep."
Xie Chuan and An An haven't been affectionate for a long time.
Xie Chuan has always respected An An. Besides, An An has been very tired from taking care of the child these past two years. Even if he had such thoughts, he would hold back as long as An An was not very energetic.
I couldn't resist today.
When An'an heard Xie Chuan ask this question and saw his expression, she instantly understood what he meant. After all, they had been married for so long, and it would be unacceptable if they didn't even have this much understanding.
So An An changed into a sexy nightgown, adding a touch of romance to their time together.
It's been a while since An An did these flirtatious things, and she seems a little rusty.
Xie Chuan is quite capable.
He first kissed An'an's ear, then slowly moved to her forehead, nose, and lips.
The tingling sensation instantly aroused An'an's desire.
They were lost in their passionate embrace.
Xie Chuan also took protective measures, just in case he got infected.
Since they haven't considered having a second child yet, Xie Chuan won't bring it up unless An An brings it up, and even then, he wouldn't want to agree.
Childbirth is so painful, and he doesn't want An'an to go through it again.
After their tender moment, An'an realized that Xie Chuan had taken protective measures.
"You wore it this time too?"
"Yes, I'm just afraid of getting infected once."
Xie Chuan explained, holding An An and speaking tenderly.
"Honey, actually I think I'd really like to have another child."
"From the moment I left the delivery room and saw my baby, to when he called me 'Mom,' and then to when he could walk, the process was very painful, but seeing my child grow up healthily made the pain seem to disappear."
An'an, feeling content and at ease, had the idea of having another child.
"Really, honey? I feel like you don't want to have the baby anymore tomorrow."
"Actually, I don't want you to suffer like this anymore."
Xie Chuan felt that having already gone through such pain, why would he want to have another child? It was just empty talk.
"I respect you, but I don't really want it."
"Actually, I'm also a bit conflicted. Let me think about it some more."
Xie Chuan's language system was in complete disarray. He was afraid that she really wanted it, and that if he refused, it would only make An An sad.
"Then let's go to sleep first, it's getting late."
The baby's first birthday party is coming soon, and both families are busy preparing to give him an unforgettable birthday, since it is his first birthday in this world.
"Honey, what are your plans for the baby's birthday party?"
“I want to hold a party for him on the lawn. Let’s not invite anyone else, just the two of us to celebrate the baby’s birthday.”
“We really are on the same wavelength; that’s what I think too.”
He didn't want too many strangers to come to his own child's first birthday party, so that the child wouldn't have a good time and would have to be polite.
"Haha, then don't worry about it, I'll take care of everything. I'll talk to Mom and Dad."
"But I think my dad would definitely want us to have a big celebration, you know him."
“I will persuade him.”
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just as we were talking about Xu Zijiang, he rang the doorbell.
"Dad, you've come at just the right time! I was just talking to Xie Chuan about you, and here you are!"
An'an went over with a smile and took his arm.
"What's wrong? What are you saying about me?"
"When we talk about the baby's birthday party, Xie Chuan and I are thinking that it's just the two of our families together, having a simple birthday party for the baby on the lawn. It doesn't have to be too grand."
"Just let the baby feel our love, after all, we are the closest people to him."
An'an said cheerfully.
"Sure, I'm perfectly fine with it."
Unexpectedly, Xu Zijiang agreed so readily. This is quite different from what An'an had imagined.
"You agreed so readily."
She was somewhat surprised.
"What else?"
Xu Zijiang raised an eyebrow and asked in return.
"Why is it different from what I expected?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I thought you were going to throw a big event."
An'an smiled sheepishly, feeling that her parents were spoiling her too much.
“This is your child. I’m just his maternal grandfather. If it were your birthday, I would definitely throw a big party. But children’s birthdays are mostly decided by their parents, and I, as the maternal grandfather, don’t have much say.”
"Besides, I've become indifferent to those things now. I don't like those big events anymore. It's nice and warm to be with my family."
Xu Zijiang has been working in the business world for many years, but in the last year or two he has indeed come to a greater realization. He was already low-key, but now he is even more so.
Perhaps it's because he's getting old and wants to live a more stable life, since he earned enough money in the first half of his life to support them.
They no longer need to work themselves to the bone.
The two most important things for the Xu family right now are An'an's child and Xu Feng's marriage.
