Under Huang Haitang's patient guidance, He Ruiqi and He Ruilin learned somewhat slowly, but each child learns languages at a different pace. And with their older brother He Ruizhe's guidance, the learning process became much easier and more enjoyable.
Knowing his younger siblings' love for sweets, He Ruizhe came up with a clever way to entice them to say "Grandma." He took out two brightly colored lollipops, squatted down in front of his siblings, and said with a smile, "Ruiqi, Ruilin, do you want some lollipops? If you do, call me 'Grandma' first."
The two little ones stared at the tempting lollipops, their eyes gleaming with longing. They seemed to realize they needed to make some effort to earn the reward. He Ruiqi and He Ruilin exchanged glances, then turned to Huang Haitang, and almost simultaneously, they strained to utter the words "Grandma."
Although their pronunciation wasn't quite accurate yet, it was enough to surprise and delight Huang Haitang. She immediately picked up the two children and kissed their cheeks: "Good children, so smart! Grandma will give you lollipops."
He Ruizhe smiled and handed lollipops to his younger siblings: "Look, you get a reward for calling me Grandma."
Seeing this, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan couldn't help but feel happy for He Ruizhe's intelligence and the children's progress. Gu Yunxi said, "Ruize, your method is really good; your younger siblings are learning very quickly."
He Siyan nodded in approval: "Yes, Ruize. You're not only a good older brother, but also a smart little teacher."
Huang Haitang remarked with emotion, "Children really need patience and the right methods to learn to speak. Sometimes, using things they are interested in as motivation can be more effective."
This little lollipop incident not only taught He Ruiqi and He Ruilin to say "Grandma," but also allowed them to experience the joy of learning a language. For Huang Haitang, it was not only a step forward in the children's language skills, but also a beautiful moment of emotional exchange between her and her grandchildren as a grandmother.
Through the efforts and creativity of each member of this family, a loving, encouraging, and joyful environment has been created for their children. The children thrive in this environment, and the relationships between family members have become closer and more harmonious.
Seeing that lollipops were a very effective incentive, He Ruizhe decided to use this trick again, this time to teach his younger siblings to say "brother." He took out two lollipops, squatted down in front of He Ruiqi and He Ruilin, and said encouragingly, "Ruiqi, Ruilin, if you want to eat a lollipop, call me 'brother,' okay?"
The two little ones looked at the lollipops, their eyes sparkling with excitement. They seemed to realize that they needed to pronounce the correct syllables to receive the reward. He Ruiqi and He Ruilin tried to imitate their older brother's pronunciation, but because they were still young, their pronunciation was inaccurate, producing a "de de" sound.
He Ruizhe wasn't disappointed at all; instead, he was amused by his younger siblings' adorable antics. He patiently corrected them: "No, no, it's 'brother,' not 'dede.' Come on, try again."
Gu Yunxi witnessed this scene and was moved by the children's innocence and He Ruizhe's patience. She walked over and encouraged the children: "Ruiqi, Ruilin, say 'brother' with your brother."
Huang Haitang also joined in the teaching, guiding the children in a warm tone: "That's right, children, it's 'brother'. Practice a few more times, and you'll definitely be able to say it very well."
With encouragement and guidance from their older brother and elders, He Ruiqi and He Ruilin continued to try to pronounce the correct syllables. Although their pronunciation was still somewhat unclear, each attempt brought them closer to the correct pronunciation than the last.
Finally, after several attempts, He Ruiqi seemed to have found the right pronunciation and clearly said "brother". Immediately afterwards, He Ruilin also learned it and said "brother" as well.
Hearing his younger siblings call out to him, He Ruizhe felt incredibly proud and happy. He handed them lollipops and exclaimed joyfully, "Great! You've finally learned to call me 'big brother'!"
Gu Yunxi and He Siyan were also happy for their children's progress. They knew that this was not only an improvement in their language skills, but also a deepening of the emotional connection between family members.
This little incident became a heartwarming story in the He family, often recounted by family members. It not only showcased He Ruizhe's sense of responsibility and creativity as an older brother, but also recorded an interesting moment in the growth of He Ruiqi and He Ruilin. For Huang Haitang, seeing her grandchildren make progress little by little is one of the greatest joys in her life.
On that afternoon filled with laughter, He Ruizhe successfully taught his younger siblings to say "brother" using lollipops, immersing the whole family in joy. Although He Ruiqi and He Ruilin's pronunciation still carried the naivety and inaccuracy typical of children, every attempt and progress was cherished by the family.
Watching from the side, Huang Haitang felt a surge of pride and emotion: "Ruize, you are such a resourceful and good older brother. Ruiqi and Ruilin are so lucky to have a role model like you."
Gu Yunxi added with a smile, "Yes, Ruize. You've taught your younger siblings so much; Mom is so proud of you."
He Siyan encouraged the children: "Ruiqi and Ruilin, you did very well today. Keep up the good work, and you will learn even more."
As time went on, He Ruizhe continued to use his creativity and patience to help his younger siblings learn new vocabulary. He discovered that the children reacted differently to different rewards, sometimes toys, sometimes opportunities to play games together, all of which stimulated their interest in learning.
With their older brother's help, He Ruiqi and He Ruilin gradually learned more words and simple sentences. They began to be able to express their needs and emotions, and their communication with their family became richer and smoother.
Every evening, when Gu Yunxi and He Siyan returned home, they could hear their children recounting the day's events in their tender voices. They would share what they had seen and heard in the park, or the handicrafts they had done with Huang Haitang.
On weekends, the He family organizes family activities, such as outings, parent-child swimming lessons, or small talent shows at home. He Ruizhe, He Ruiqi, and He Ruilin all participate, showcasing their newly acquired skills and knowledge.
This kind of daily life not only deepens the emotional bond between family members, but also provides children with a loving and supportive environment to grow up in. Watching her grandchildren grow up day by day, Huang Haitang's heart is filled with boundless warmth and contentment.
For Gu Yunxi and He Siyan, seeing their children grow up healthily in the loving environment of their family is their greatest happiness. They know that family is their children's strongest support and the best starting point for them to explore the world and learn and grow. For He Ruizhe, being able to accompany his younger siblings as they grow up and share every "first time" of theirs is one of the most precious experiences of his childhood.
