“My dear father, I am so happy for you that you have such awareness. You should take a good rest and enjoy your life.”
“I feel very happy now. My son and daughter are by my side, and I have such an excellent son-in-law and a big, healthy grandson.”
"All your uncles and elders envy me."
Xu Zi said smugly, "Who wouldn't envy his family's life?"
In old age, what matters most is not career success, but family harmony and the happiness of one's children.
"Hahaha, Dad's so narcissistic!"
An An chuckled, and afterwards, An An and Xie Chuan were also preparing for their son's first birthday party.
An'an booked a beautiful lawn, wanting to give her child a strong sense of occasion and celebrate every birthday properly every year.
Let the child feel the love of his family.
The baby can crawl on the floor now, and An'an has covered the house with all kinds of expensive carpets.
I'm so afraid the baby will bump or hurt himself.
"Honey, look how lively the baby is now."
“I think she’s more like me. You’re too mature. Actually, I hope that when our baby grows up, she will be as mature as you in her career, but in terms of personality, she will be more like me.”
An'an is a very lively girl, and her friends all enjoy playing with her.
She is also sincere to her friends.
The fact that so many good friends came to the wedding was enough to prove that An'an's character was beyond reproach. However, he was not as composed as Xie Chuan. Perhaps this is the difference between men and women. But he also hoped that his son could be more lively and flexible in his thinking in the future.
Therefore, early childhood education is extremely important nowadays.
An'an has also been reading a lot of parenting books recently.
The experts above all recommend starting education early and cultivating good habits in children from an early age, so that these habits can last a lifetime.
In fact, there are no unteachable children in the world, only unqualified parents. After all, children are born without any faults; they are all influenced by what they see and hear later in life.
When it comes to her child's education, An'an absolutely does not allow any mistakes to occur, as this is related to the child's entire life.
She doesn't want to be a bad parent.
On the day of her baby's birthday party, An'an also hired a photographer to record the day's events. She plans to print all the photos and put them in an album so that her baby can look at them when he grows up.
"The main character has arrived today, and he looks really handsome."
An'an came out carrying the baby. Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang looked at their eldest grandson and thought he was so handsome today.
"Mom and Dad, why are you dressed so formally?"
An'an saw that her parents were wearing both suits and cheongsams.
It was as formal as attending a dinner party.
"How could I not take my eldest grandson's first birthday party seriously? It's his first birthday since he was born, and our whole family is taking it very seriously."
Xu Zijiang put his arm around Yu Jiu and smiled, and Yu Jiu echoed his words.
"Honey, make a wish for the baby."
Suddenly, Xie Chuan interrupted, asking An An to make a wish. An An immediately closed her eyes and said sincerely.
"I hope Xie Si'an will be healthy, safe, happy, and free from any worries in the future."
An'an has no other requests for her child than that she hopes the child can be safe and sound.
Unlike those "tiger parents" who try to raise their children to be like tigers without considering whether the children actually want to do it, which is very harmful to their physical and mental health.
After making a wish, An'an blew out the candles for the baby. The baby seemed to hear everyone's blessings and kept giggling.
Everyone was overjoyed to see the baby's adorable appearance.
Xie Si'an is now the focus of protection for both families, like a panda, with someone watching over her 24 hours a day.
An'an has been working very hard taking care of the baby lately, and Xie Chuan noticed that she seems to have dark circles under her eyes.
Babies in this age group are most fussy at night, especially since they need to be fed. Even though there are nannies to take care of them, parents are always worried about being hands-off.
This means An'an definitely didn't get much rest.
After finishing this important project for the company, Xie Chuan immediately took a break and hasn't been going to the company for a while.
He's going to experience An'an's daily life and take over the things An'an usually does.
"Honey, you can rest starting today. I'll take care of the kids."
Xie Chuan said seriously, "We can't leave the child with my wife to take care of alone!"
"Is everything at your company finished by now?"
An An looked at him with amusement. Actually, she didn't feel tired at all. With so many people helping her, she hardly ever got up at night, leaving everything to the nanny. The reason she had dark circles under her eyes was simply because she had stayed up late watching dramas those few days!
But this person blames everything on taking care of the baby.
"Yes, it's a very important project. The contract was signed this morning, and it's a done deal. Someone has been assigned to handle the follow-up, so I don't need to go to the company. Look at you, taking care of the baby, you have dark circles under your eyes and you look so tired."
"It hurts my heart to see you like this."
Xie Chuan held An An tightly, his heart aching, and said from the bottom of his heart.
“You work very hard outside, busy with work every day, and you still have to take care of me and the baby when you come home at night. I think it’s okay, I don’t actually feel very tired.”
An'an didn't say this to reassure Xie Chuan; she genuinely felt that it wasn't as serious as Xie Chuan made it out to be.
Furthermore, couples need to be considerate of each other.
"You should rest well. I've already told the company that I won't be going there for a while. Tomorrow I'll take you and the baby out for a walk. The baby hasn't been out to experience nature since coming into this world."
Xie Chuan was determined to take a break for a while to take care of his wife and children and take them out for fun. An An agreed when she saw this, since the company wouldn't go bankrupt if she didn't go there for a few days.
She asked with a smile.
"Where are you going to take us to have fun?"
Do you want to go to the beach, or to the grasslands?
Xie Chuan sought An An's opinion.
"I really want to go, how about we let the baby draw lots? Let the baby make the decision."
An'an excitedly said, then made two crumpled pieces of paper for the baby to grab. The baby grabbed one, which had "Seaside" written on it.
"Okay, let's go to the beach then, we'll leave tomorrow."
Xie Chuan curled his lips and said with high spirits.
"It really is a trip that can be taken on a whim. I'll go pack my things now and tell my parents not to come anytime soon. They work really hard, coming here every day. This is a good opportunity for them to get some rest."
Xie Chuan had also bought the plane tickets. Since he wanted to travel as a family of three, he didn't bring Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang along. Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu understood and were happy to have some peace and quiet, enjoying their own time together.
The family of three set off early the next morning.
The baby was also very excited. It was his first time going on a long trip, and he clapped his little hands with joy, his eyes crinkling into crescents. So cute!
Xie Chuan had already planned out the entire itinerary for the next few days.
With him around, An'an didn't have to worry about anything; she could just enjoy the trip.
As soon as the baby boarded the plane, he couldn't help but look out the window at the clouds outside, full of curiosity.
He seemed to want to speak, but couldn't get the words out, which really worried him.
"This is an airplane. Say it with Mommy, airplane..."
"Arrow...arrow...fly..."
The baby can only imitate the intonation, but can't pronounce the two words.
This is still a bit difficult for a one-year-old.
Along the way, An'an and Xie Chuan heard countless compliments. Passengers and flight attendants around them all praised how beautiful the baby was, with a pair of big, bright eyes.
They even went so far as to praise their good genes.
They were both a little embarrassed.
As soon as the plane landed, they put their luggage in the hotel and went straight to the beach. When the baby saw the boundless sea, he happily called out "Mommy!"
He waved his hands and feet excitedly.
"Honey, I think the baby seems particularly interested in the sea. Let's enroll him in swimming lessons when he's a little older."
