When it was night, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou got up and saw Tangyuan staring at the ceiling with his big round eyes. He didn't cry or make a fuss, and they didn't know when he woke up.
Seeing how cute the little glutinous rice dumpling was, He Xianqiu felt so soft-hearted. He was really a child who was considerate of his parents at such a young age. From birth to now, he would only whimper when he was hungry, but he would stop crying after drinking milk.
But seeing him looking at her with his big eyes, and then starting to hum, he must be hungry, so He Xianqiu let him drink milk.
After drinking milk and eating, the child looked at He Xianqiu with his big eyes. His eyes were very beautiful, without a trace of impurities. His big dark eyes looked at such a cute little ball. He Xianqiu talked to him, and it was not known whether the other party understood or not, but he would hum a few times in response.
After a while, Ji Chenzhou cooked the rice and brought it into the house for He Xianqiu to eat. Then Ji Chenzhou held the little glutinous rice dumpling, although this child was very well behaved.
But this would make him lie down in the rocking chair, and he didn't want to do that, so he wanted someone to hold him. He held Ji Chenzhou's clothes tightly with his hands, not letting Ji Chenzhou put him down.
So He Xianqiu could only try to eat faster, then replace Ji Chenzhou, let him eat, hold the kid, touch his nose, and say to him with a smile, "You little idiot."
When the child heard the sound, he hummed a little, then closed his eyes and fell asleep, his little head resting softly in He Xianqiu's arms.
He Xianqiu saw that he was asleep and stopped disturbing him. The child was very sleepy at this moment and was sleeping the whole time except when drinking milk.
After a while, the child fell asleep and didn't move even when he heard the noise. He Xianqiu was tired, so she put him on the rocking bed and let him sleep by himself. She sat beside him and rocked the rocking car gently.
When Ji Chenzhou came back from washing the dishes and saw this scene, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He walked towards the mother and son, and let He Xianqiu rest while he rocked the rocking car.
At night, the child woke up and drank milk once before falling asleep again. He Xianqiu looked at him and couldn't help laughing, "Just like a little piglet."
The days passed like this, and the child grew up day by day while drinking milk. Now he was one month old, so He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou prepared a full moon banquet for him and invited some people over.
The He and Ning families who were far away in Kyoto could not come, so they mailed things over. The child at this time was wearing clothes and pants made for him by his elders. He looked cute and adorable, with cleverness in his beautiful big eyes.
After the full moon banquet was successfully completed, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were in the house, letting the child do the "Zhuazhou" ceremony. Most of the things for the ceremony were prepared by the elders, representing their wishes for him.
After Ji Chenzhou arranged the things for the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, He Xianqiu placed the child in the middle of the blanket and let him grab the thing he wanted most.
The child was placed on the blanket, looking a little dazed. He looked at He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou with his big round eyes. Then he lowered his head to think for a while, picked up something, held it tightly in his chubby hands, and walked towards He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou.
He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou looked at what he was holding in his hand and smiled, then praised him, "Tangyuan is really amazing, you caught the book. Your great-grandmother will definitely be very happy to know that you caught the book."
Grandma He is a teacher. As a teacher, she likes children to like reading the most.
The kid didn’t know what He Xianqiu was saying. He held the book in his little hand, then smiled with his gums showing. He then stretched out his hands to He Xianqiu, asking for a hug, and made “ah, ah” sounds a few times.
Seeing how anxious he was, He Xianqiu picked him up. The child was held in his arms, his little head resting on He Xianqiu's shoulder, his big eyes looking around. When he saw Ji Chenzhou, he smiled and then exclaimed, "Ah."
Looking at his smile, Ji Chenzhou couldn't help but smile too, then reached out to hug him, but when the child saw this, he didn't want his father to hug him and turned his head away.
He Xianqiu also noticed the child's actions and couldn't help laughing. When the child heard the laughter, he looked at He Xianqiu with his big eyes in confusion.
Ji Chenzhou felt a little helpless at this moment, but seeing the puzzled look in the child's eyes, he couldn't help but smile. He touched his chubby little face and said lovingly, "I'm laughing at you, clever boy."
Although the child didn’t know what Ji Chenzhou was talking about, he thought his father wanted to play with him. He looked at Ji Chenzhou with his big eyes, then said "ah, ah" in his mouth, and then he laughed happily.
Looking at the children entertaining themselves, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou smiled at each other, and then they clasped their hands tightly.
The day passed just like that. After being busy for a long time all day, both of them were tired, so they planned to take a shower and go to bed. However, before going to bed, they had to coax the energetic child to sleep.
But before going to bed, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou discussed the issue of taking care of the child tomorrow. He Xianqiu has been recuperating at home for a month, so he will go to work tomorrow. But if he takes the child to work, he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of the child sometimes. In addition, the soap factory sometimes makes noise, and the child will find it noisy when he goes to sleep there.
Finally, after discussion between the two, Ji Chenzhou decided that the weather was cold now and he would not go to the farm very often, so he would stay at home to take care of the child. When it was time for the child to drink milk, he would go to the soap factory to find He Xianqiu. After all, the old house was not far from the soap factory.
When she woke up the next day, He Xianqiu fed the child milk and then went to the soap factory. When she arrived at the soap factory, everyone greeted her and asked about the child's situation.
"He Zhiqing, is your child noisy? My child was very noisy when he was young. We couldn't sleep well at night."
"My child was the same. When he was young, he was too noisy and made me cry."
He Xianqiu smiled and said, "My child is fine. He is more well behaved at night, but he still makes a fuss occasionally."
Hearing this, everyone was a little envious, and said that this child loves his parents at such a young age. He Xianqiu listened to everyone's praise, she smiled, chatted for a few more words, and then went to the office.
There were some documents piled up in the office because she hadn't been there for a month, but that was okay, He Xianqiu would be able to finish reading them today.
After a few hours, Ji Chenzhou brought the child to see He Xianqiu, and He Xianqiu fed the child milk. The child was full and not sleepy at this time. He opened his big eyes and looked around. He Xianqiu held him and wandered around the office.
After taking him around for a while, He Xianqiu had to go to work, so he asked Ji Chenzhou to take care of him. The child was held by his father and looked at He Xianqiu eagerly. Although He Xianqiu was reluctant to let him go, he touched his head and went to work anyway.
However, because he was still very energetic and not sleepy at all, Ji Chenzhou did not go home. He took him to wait for He Xianqiu to get off work, and then the family of three went home together.
After more than an hour, it was time to get off work, so He Xianqiu held him and went home with Ji Chenzhou. The child was very happy to be held in his mother's arms, and he leaned his head on He Xianqiu and looked at the scenery around him.
After arriving home, He Xianqiu fed him milk again, while Ji Chenzhou went to prepare lunch.
Maybe because he didn’t sleep much in the morning, the child felt sleepy after drinking milk. He Xianqiu carried him for a while and then fell asleep.
Seeing that the little glutinous rice dumpling had fallen asleep, He Xianqiu put him in his own rocking bed. Perhaps because of the familiar smell of milk, the child slept peacefully in the rocking bed, with his little hands still holding the corner of the quilt.
After a while, Ji Chenzhou prepared all the dishes and they started to have lunch. Then He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou took a nap together.
This went on day after day. Before the child was weaned, Ji Chenzhou would take him to the soap factory to find He Xianqiu to drink milk every day. After he was weaned, Ji Chenzhou would take him home to eat complementary food and then wait for He Xianqiu to get off work. However, when the father and son missed He Xianqiu, they would go to the soap factory to see her and wait for her to get off work together.
During this period, Ji Chenzhou also underwent a sterilization operation. He was particularly careful about the wound in the following days. Finally, after He Xianqiu's questioning, he told He Xianqiu that he had undergone a sterilization operation.
When He Xianqiu found out, he hugged her, kissed her lips, and said with red eyes: "Thank you."
Ji Chenzhou also hugged her, then touched her head and said: "It's enough for us to have one baby. Giving birth is too painful."
Ji Chenzhou will never get to experience that day. He was very desperate that day. The delivery room was filled with He Xianqiu's screams of pain. So he never wanted to have a child again in this life.
In this way, the days passed one by one, and the child grew up day by day, from a little ball who could only babble, to learning to call mom and dad, and then learning to walk. Watching him toddling towards them like a little penguin, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou would feel very relieved and satisfied.
The child is now two years old. Today is his birthday, and Ji Chenzhou made him a small cake. The child was very happy to see the cake and said in a baby voice, "Dad made this cake for me."
Although he really wanted to eat the cake and was staring at it, he would still wait patiently because his mother had not yet gotten off work. He could only eat it after his mother got off work.
So he sat on his little stool, swinging his little feet, waiting for his mother to come home from get off work.
Seeing that he was so well behaved, Ji Chenzhou gave him a small piece of cake. When the child saw the cake, his eyes sparkled, and then a smile appeared on his pretty face. He said to Ji Chenzhou in a baby voice, "Thank you, Dad. You can have some too."
As he said this, he used his chubby little hands to break off half of it and gave it to Ji Chenzhou to eat, but Ji Chenzhou shook his head and refused, "Eat the glutinous rice balls yourself, Dad won't eat them."
Seeing that Ji Chenzhou didn't eat, the child looked at him puzzledly with his beautiful big eyes: "Dad, why don't you eat? If you don't eat, you'll be hungry. Mom said that if you don't eat well, you'll have a stomachache."
Seeing the little boy acting like a little adult, Ji Chenzhou found it a little funny. He then touched his little head and said, "But Daddy is not hungry. Daddy just ate some."
The child suddenly understood, nodded and said, "Is that so? Dad, I'll eat it myself then."
After that, he lowered his head and ate the small cake in Xiaorou's hand, with a happy and satisfied look on his face. He liked the small cake the most, but his father said that eating too much would damage the teeth and cause worms, so he didn't let him eat so much.
So even though he wanted to eat it very much, he was afraid of bugs and toothache. But he would also listen to his parents and seldom eat pastries. His parents said he was the best kid, and he was very proud of it.
After finishing eating, the child obediently held Ji Chenzhou's hand and jumped to wash his hands. When he washed his hands, he didn't need Ji Chenzhou to wash them for him, he would wash his own hands carefully.
After washing, he would wipe his hands with a tissue, then raise his hands, look up at Ji Chenzhou and say in a baby voice, "Dad, I've finished washing my hands."
Ji Chenzhou would smile and praise him in a gentle voice, "Tangyuan is awesome, he can wash and wipe his hands by himself."
Facing his son who looks 50% like He Xianqiu, Ji Chenzhou always becomes gentle unconsciously, and smiles dotingly when watching his every move.
The little boy was very happy when his father praised him. A sweet smile appeared on his pretty face. Then he skipped out again holding Ji Chenzhou's hand. Then he sat obediently at the door, waiting for He Xianqiu to come back.
After a while, he saw He Xianqiu. His eyes lit up and he ran towards He Xianqiu with his short legs, calling in a baby voice, "Mom, Mom."
He Xianqiu had already seen his little friend waiting for him at the door with his little feet dangling. Seeing him rushing towards him like a little cannonball, he immediately bent down and hugged him.
The little boy was held in He Xianqiu's arms. He was very happy. He chattered to He Xianqiu about what happened to him this afternoon, and then his father made him a birthday cake today.
"Mom, the cake Dad made is so pretty. There are lots of little flowers and delicious fruits on it. I like it so much. The cake also has a sweet aroma. It looks delicious."
"And just now, the kid washed his hands and wiped them by himself, and his dad praised me."
The child sounded very proud when he said this, and he puffed out his chest.
He Xianqiu listened to the kid carefully, then replied with a smile, "Wow, you are so amazing, you can even wash and wipe your hands by yourself, you are such an amazing kid."
When the kid heard He Xianqiu praising him, he smiled shyly, then buried his head in He Xianqiu's shoulder, "Baby, you're a little adult now."
He Xianqiu couldn't help laughing when he saw him calling himself a little adult, and then he agreed with him with a smile, "Yes, now you are a little adult, but you are a little adult and still need mom and dad to take care of you. There are some things you can't do by yourself."
Then the child nodded seriously, saying in a soft voice, "I know, Mom."
Afterwards, the mother and son walked into the house together, and Ji Chenzhou beside them also followed them in.
After dinner, the family of three went for a walk to help digest the food, and when they had almost finished digesting the food, they went home.
At this time, the child can't wait to go home because his birthday cake is at home. Now that he has digested the food, he can go home and eat the cake.
After arriving home, the child raised his pretty little face and looked at Ji Chenzhou with his big eyes. The meaning was very clear: where was his father, his birthday cake?
Ji Chenzhou looked at his expectant eyes and took out the cake from the cupboard. When the child saw the beautiful cake, his eyes became sparkling. He pointed at the cake and spoke to He Xianqiu in a baby voice.
"Look, mom, the cake my dad made for me is so pretty."
Looking at the cute appearance of the child, He Xianqiu smiled, wondering how her baby could be so cute, and then said softly.
"Baby, sit down. Mom and Dad will put a birthday hat on you and sing a birthday song for you. You can eat the cake soon."
The child nodded, then sat down obediently and let He Xianqiu put a birthday hat on him.
This birthday hat was made by He Xianqiu himself. It has the words "birthday star" written on it, and there is also a little tiger drawn by He Xianqiu, because the baby is a baby born in the Year of the Tiger.
Afterwards, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou sang a birthday song for him. The little boy was very happy. He clapped his little hands and hummed the birthday song along.
Taking into account the special circumstances of the situation, He Xianqiu and the others only sang the Chinese version of the birthday song and did not sing the English version.
After singing the birthday song, I held his little hand and cut the cake. The child said that he would give the first piece of cake to his mother and the second piece to his father.
He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were very happy, but today was the kid's birthday, so He Xianqiu smiled and said, "Today is the kid's birthday, let the kid have the first piece of cake."
After that, the child thought about it and nodded. Then he cut two pieces of cake, gave one to He Xianqiu and one to Ji Chenzhou. After the two of them thanked happily, they took the cakes.
The little boy took his piece of cake, dangling his little feet, and then ate it happily. His little face was full of satisfaction. He looked at Ji Chenzhou and said, "Dad, the cake you made is so delicious. I love it so much."
Ji Chenzhou touched his head and said with a smile: "Eat more if you like. Dad allows you to eat more today. When you are three years old, Dad will make a cake for you."
When the child heard his father say that he could eat more today, he was very happy and said to Ji Chenzhou, "Thank you, Dad."
Then he thought about his father saying it was his third birthday and making him a small cake. He became even happier. But when was his third birthday? The child tilted his head and asked in confusion.
"Dad, when is my third birthday?"
Ji Chenzhou touched his head and said, "One more year."
The child didn't know how long a year was, so he asked Ji Chenzhou, "Dad, how long is a year?"
"A year is twelve months, and you still have twelve months until your third birthday." Ji Chenzhou answered patiently.
When the child heard the twelve months, he immediately counted with his little hands, "one, two, three..."
Then he immediately frowned and said in a baby voice: "Twelve months is a long time..."
When Ji Chenzhou heard what the child said, he smiled and explained, "Birthdays only come once a year. You've had your birthday this year, so you won't have it until next year. But if you want to eat, dad can make you a small cake."
The child suddenly realized what was going on, and then when he heard his father say that he would make him a small cake, he smiled, showing his little teeth, "Thank you, Dad."
He Xianqiu watched the interaction between the father and son, and she smiled unconsciously, then looked at them gently for a year.
Afterwards, Ji Chenzhou and the child noticed He Xianqiu's gaze and immediately smiled at her. The child even walked towards He Xianqiu with his short legs, asking her to hug him.
He Xianqiu hugged him, then asked him with a smile, "Are you happy today?"
The child nodded, "Happy."
"Baby, now that you've finished eating the cake, you can open your presents. Dad, mom, great-grandma, great-grandpa, and other elders have all prepared presents for you."
When the child heard that there were gifts, he immediately became happy and couldn't wait to open the gifts.
Then a family of three entered the room, and after a while, cheerful laughter was heard from the room.
At this time, the child sat on the bed and opened the gifts very carefully. There were many gifts, including small cars given by his parents, small dolls given by his grandparents, storybooks given by his great-grandparents, and so on.
Afterwards, when the child had finished unpacking the toys, he put the things given to him by his elders into his own precious toy box.
Ji Chenzhou made this toy box for children. It can be locked. After the children put the toys in, they immediately locked the box with their little hands.
Afterwards, it was getting late, so He Xianqiu took out his pajamas and asked Ji Chenzhou to take him to take a bath.
The child loves taking a bath the most. After a while, his clear laughter was heard from the bathroom. He Xianqiu, who was reading a book in the room, heard it and smiled. What a lively kid.
However, after taking a shower, he fell asleep as soon as he got into bed due to exhaustion. Looking at his sleeping face, He Xianqiu's face softened and then he kissed his chubby little face.
Afterwards, Ji Chenzhou also took a shower and went into the room, and the family of three went to sleep. But before going to bed, Ji Chenzhou looked at her, motionless. He Xianqiu was a little confused and asked what was wrong.
Ji Chenzhou immediately looked at He Xianqiu aggrievedly and said, "You didn't give me a goodnight kiss."
Seeing Ji Chenzhou's aggrieved look, she laughed and kissed him, "I'm sorry, I forgot."
Then, Ji Chenzhou didn't say anything, but deepened the kiss.
