But the sound was so small that she didn't pay much attention to it.
After boiling water and making fruit puree, she prepared to give it to Xue Jiayu when she woke up. Only then did Jiang Qiuyu feel a little more relaxed.
The noise in the nanny's room became louder and louder, and Jiang Qiuyu couldn't help but go to see.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Ying Huanyu half hanging on the bed.
Jiang Qiuyi immediately rushed forward and hugged her. Ying Huanyu smiled brightly at her, which made Jiang Qiuyi's heart soften.
This child is really pitiful, having been separated from his biological mother since childhood.
She didn't do anything wrong, but because her mother was Li Minxue, she was not loved.
"mo——ma——" Ying Huanyu called her incoherently.
Jiang Qiuyi looked at her in astonishment, "You call me mom?"
"ma——ma——" Ying Huanyu repeated it again in a low voice, and this time Jiang Qiuyu heard it clearly.
After becoming a mother, she always felt particularly sad. Her nose felt sore and she put Ying Huanyu back into the baby's womb.
Xu Suzhen, who was sleeping, opened her eyes immediately when she felt someone coming in and was startled by Jiang Qiuyu.
“Oh, Qiu Yi, you are going to scare me, an old woman, to death!”
Jiang Qiuyi quickly adjusted her expression and forced a smile, "Mom, it's time to get up and cook with me."
"Okay."
The old lady got up quickly and was a little surprised to see her holding Ying Huanyu.
Normally, Jiang Qiuyu treats Xue Jiayu like a treasure, and treats Ying Huanyu well, but she doesn't love her too much.
It's rare to see her so close to Ying Huanyu.
"Qiu Yi, why are you..."
"Mom, you should pay more attention to Huanyu sometimes. She almost fell off the bed just now."
Xu Suzhen opened her mouth wide. Was her daughter-in-law blaming her just for Ying Huanyu? !
When Xue Wangjun returned home that night, Xu Suzhen quietly pulled her son aside and told him that something was wrong with Jiang Qiuyu.
"What's wrong with that? She's still as gentle and virtuous as always." Xue Wangjun glanced at Jiang Qiuyu's back as she fed her daughter, his eyes full of tenderness.
Xu Suzhen picked up the chopsticks and knocked him on the head, "I'm saying that her attitude towards Huanyu is not right."
"What happened to Huanyu?"
Xu Suzhen told Xue Wangjun what happened in the afternoon, and Xue Wangjun didn't think there was anything wrong. He just said, "Since Huanyu is now raised in our home, isn't it normal for Qiu Yi to treat her well?"
“…”
The old lady was convinced and gradually she didn't feel anything was wrong.
The matter of the car was left unresolved, and Xue Wangjun no longer brought his wife and daughter home during the holidays, but spent them in the city.
After Xu Suzhen broke off contact with her sisters in the village, she had much less to do. Every day she either took care of the children or practiced Tai Chi in the yard.
Jiang Qiuyu's attitude towards Ying Huanyu was much better than before, and Ying Huanyu seemed to treat her as her biological mother and was very affectionate to her.
Xue Jiayu was not jealous of this. As long as Ying Huanyu could study hard and didn't want to hurt others, it would be okay to share some family love with her.
What's more, she was sure that her parents loved her more.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Xue Wangjun's clothing factory grew bigger and bigger. In order to save on raw material costs, he also bought a fabric factory.
The relationship between the Xue family and the Zhan family also became closer. Sometimes when Zhan Aoxiang and his wife were busy with work, Zhan Nanqi spent more time at the Xue family than at his own family.
Xue Jiayu and Ying Huanyu also began to learn to speak. In fact, after the first birthday party, Xue Jiayu found that he could speak slowly.
Once, Jiang Qiuyi was holding her in the yard and she lay on Jiang Qiuyi's shoulder, unconsciously calling out "Mom".
Jiang Qiuyu was stunned upon hearing this and immediately called Xue Wangjun to come back.
Xue Wangjun thought something had happened and rushed back in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, after returning home, Jiang Qiuyi hugged him and cried, "Hubby, Xiaobao called me mom!"
Xue Wangjun was still a little jealous, "Why didn't she call me dad first..."
[Dad, don’t worry, I will shout soon]
Xue Wangjun naturally wouldn't be really angry. Jiang Qiuyu wiped away her tears and hit him coquettishly.
"I accompany her every day, so of course she calls me mom first. What's so strange about that? Are you going to argue with me too?"
"Of course not. My wife deserves all the credit."
Xue Wangjun made Jiang Qiuyu very happy, and took great pains to guide Xue Jiayu to call him dad, and the family was very happy.
Although Ying Huanyu had called out the vague "Mom" before, the first sound she uttered when she actually spoke was "yu".
"Yu? Is it rain?" Jiang Qiuyi thought, "Could it be that she was calling her own name?"
Xu Suzhen curled her lips and said, "Don't most children call out dad or mom? Why is she calling out this?"
Jiang Qiuyu didn't know either. She smiled and shook her head, looking at the two children who were playing with building blocks.
Not only can they now crawl, sit and run, but even the foam fences can't stop them and they can climb out at any time.
I simply took down all the fences, laid out thick and soft blankets in the living room, and let them play happily.
The one who was happiest after being able to speak was Xue Jiayu. God knows how many things she had to say but couldn't say and she was so anxious!
But she was afraid of scaring her parents and grandmother, so she tried to speak in a childish tone.
The biggest "victim" after Xue Jiayu learned to speak was Zhan Nanqi. Whenever he came to the Xue family, Xue Jiayu would surround him and ask him questions.
"Brother Nanqi, you are five minutes late today. Is there anything wrong?"
Zhan Nanqi took off his shoes expressionlessly and changed into his own slippers - Jiang Qiuyu bought them specially for him.
There are two planet patterns on the slippers. Zhan Nanqi didn't say it, but Jiang Qiuyu knew that he liked it very much.
"without."
"Then why are you late? Did you oversleep?"
Xue Jiayu followed Zhan Nanqi like a little tail that couldn't be shaken off, muttering beside him. Jiang Qiuyu found it annoying and quickly pulled her away.
"Xiaobao, come and get some yogurt for Nanqi."
"good!"
Xue Jiayu ran into the kitchen with his chubby legs stretched out, and saw Jiang Qiuyi took out three cute little bowls, took out yogurt from the refrigerator and poured it into the bowls, and then poured cereal, fruit and other things on top to make a small bowl. "
Yogurt was a rare commodity in that era, and cereal was an expensive item sold only in imported stores, but Jiang Qiuyu was willing to spend money on the children. As long as they liked to eat it, the Xue family could afford as much as they ate.
Xue Jiayu used a yellow small bowl, Zhan Nanqi used blue, and Ying Huanyu used purple.
"Xiaobao, you take yours."
Xue Jiayu shook her head, "No, I want to take Brother Nanqi's!"
"Okay, okay." Jiang Qiuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You little girl, you have your own ideas."
“Hehe~”
Xue Jiayu got the small blue bowl as she wished, glanced at the chicken wings on the stove, and stuck out her tongue at Jiang Qiuyi, "Mom, I want to eat."
"Little greedy cat." Jiang Qiuyu looked at her lovingly, wrapped a chicken wing in a tissue and asked her to chew it.
Just when Xue Jiayu was about to enjoy her meal, she suddenly heard loud crying in the living room.
“Woo-wa-wa-“
It’s Ying Huanyu!
Xue Jiayu was stunned, and immediately dropped the chicken wings and ran out, only to see Ying Huanyu's head resting on the coffee table and Zhan Nanqi standing next to her.
