Xiao's mother was also pleasantly surprised, "Yun'an called me 'Mom'! Yun'an, say it again for Mom to hear."
Gu An'an also packed up her things and came over. "Yun'an, call her Mom."
Two years after transmigrating, Gu An'an lived a happy life. The bloodshed and turmoil of the apocalypse were replaced by happiness, so much so that she was just as excited as everyone else when she heard her child call her "Mom" for the first time.
Meeting the excited looks in his mother's and grandmother's eyes, Xiao Yun'an knew they were very happy, so he quickly called out a few more times, each time more clearly.
"Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom."
"Oh, Mommy's baby can talk now."
Gu An'an took Xiao Yun'an, hugged her tightly, and kissed her affectionately. The mother and daughter giggled happily.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi'an became unhappy. He opened his mouth several times, and the muffled humming sound turned into a "ma ma" sound.
Upon uttering the first "Mama," Xiao Qi'an seemed to have unlocked his full potential, calling out several more times and reaching out to Gu An'an for a hug.
"Wow, the second baby can call me 'Mama' now!"
Gu An'an placed the two children on a small bed next to her and coaxed them to call her "Mom." The two children were very cooperative and called out "Mom" and "son" to their hearts' content, which made Xiao's mother, who was standing nearby, extremely envious.
"Da Bao, Er Bao, I'm Grandma. Come on, call me Grandma."
Grandma's pronunciation is more difficult than Mom's. At first, the two children didn't pronounce it quite right, but as they kept practicing, they finally managed to say "Grandma" without hesitation. Xiao's mother was so happy that she kept calling her "my big baby".
"Can your two children say 'Mama' and 'Grandma' now?"
Xiao Yuheng received both good and bad news as soon as he got home. The good news was that the two children could call out to people, but the bad news was that they weren't calling out to him.
He could accept that the first person to call him wasn't himself, after all, his wife had suffered a lot for the two children, so it was normal for her to call him "Mom" first.
But he wasn't even the second child. However, thinking of his father, Xiao, he felt a little comforted, as long as he wasn't the youngest. But just as this thought crossed his mind, his mother spoke up again.
"They can not only call Mom and Grandma, but they can even call Grandpa. You can hear them calling him."
Xiao Yuheng looked at the two children and saw them turn their heads towards the telephone and call out to their grandfather.
"Could it be that they can even call their great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and great-maternal grandmother by now?"
"How old are they? Isn't it proper to address them with three characters?"
"Normal, normal." Xiao Yuheng breathed a slight sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he wasn't the last one.
After composing himself, Xiao Yuheng bent down and picked up the two children. "Da Bao, Er Bao, call me Daddy. I'm Daddy."
Xiao Dabao and Xiao Erbao exchanged a glance, seeing the unspoken understanding in each other's eyes, and then turned their heads away, ignoring their father.
"What does this mean? Can't you say anything?"
Xiao Yuheng looked at Gu An'an with pleading eyes, "Wife, those two are bullying me again."
Xiao Yuheng encountered this situation more than once. While accepting that his son and daughter were smarter than others, Xiao Yuheng also learned that his two children often deliberately bullied him.
As for the reason, the couple discussed it several times and both felt that he had threatened the two children when they were in the womb and was holding a grudge.
At first, he found it unbelievable, but as time went on, Xiao Yuheng felt that his child was destined to be so smart.
Whenever this happens, Gu An'an really wants to laugh, but at Xiao Yuheng's request, she starts to play along.
"Of course not, otherwise how could my well-behaved eldest and second children not talk?"
Xiao Yuheng's lips curled slightly, his tone slightly disappointed, "You and Mom were just praising them for being smart. I thought they wouldn't need to be taught like other kids, but it turns out they are the same!" "What are you saying! Our Da Bao and Er Bao are smart, smarter than other kids."
Gu An'an continued to exert her efforts.
"But neither of them can call me 'Dad'! It's okay, honey. Even if they're not that smart, I'll still love them. Don't worry!"
The couple worked together in unison, but Xiao Dabao and Xiao Erbao immediately realized something was wrong. How could those two not be smart!
"Daddy, daddy."
“Papa, Xiu Xiu Papa”.
The two children couldn't help themselves and started calling out to people, especially Xiao Erbao, who not only wanted to call out to people but also wanted to curse Xiao Yuheng as a stinky father, but unfortunately his pronunciation wasn't standard enough.
When the two children cried out, the couple exchanged a triumphant look before starting to boast about them.
"Oh my! My two kids can really call me 'Dad'! It seems I was wrong. They're very smart, smarter than other kids."
Xiao Dabao and Xiao Erbao looked at Xiao Yuheng smugly, but they couldn't help but smile smugly.
"Call out a couple more times, Daddy hasn't heard enough yet."
But the two children wouldn't cooperate; they would call their mother "grandma" and "grandpa," but they wouldn't call her "dad."
But that's enough for Xiao Yuheng to brag about when he goes out.
"Has Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao had breakfast yet?"
"Huh? How did you know my two kids could say 'Dad'?"
"Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao, we're going shopping. Is there anything you need us to buy for you?"
"Huh? How did you know my two kids call me Dad and want to eat meat? But they're old enough to call me Dad, so it's time to introduce some complementary foods. Here's some money, get me some good meat, and make some lean meat porridge for the kids when we get home."
"Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao, Xiao Qing and I are getting married next month. Please bring your children to the wedding banquet."
"Although my two children can already say 'Dad,' they are still too young to drink alcohol. They can only drink milk and eat some complementary foods."
It's fair to say that his attempt to provoke hatred only earned him a lot of eye-rolls.
"That brat, look at how smug he is, I really want to kick him away."
Commissar Fang found it amusing. He said that, but if anyone dared to lay a finger on that kid Xiao Yuheng, this old buddy would be the first to object.
"He should be smug. You have no idea, I passed by their house today and the two kids called me grandpa. It's just that I didn't have any money on me, otherwise I would have been tempted to take money out of my pocket."
Commander Zhao was displeased upon hearing this, "What? Da Bao and Er Bao are calling you grandpa?"
Why should they?! He often gives the two kids little trinkets, but they never call him; instead, they call Fang the Fox first.
"Look at your jealous face! You still have the nerve to say that Xiao Xiao is smug. Besides, what's wrong with the two kids calling me grandpa? I'm old enough to be grandpa, and I'm always good to them. Don't I deserve to be called grandpa?"
Of course, what he didn't say was that the Xiao family called him Grandpa Fang, but the two kids' language systems weren't quite there yet, so they called him Grandpa.
"That's not how it works."
Political Commissar Fang rolled his eyes. "You just feel like I've beaten you to it, right? If you want to hear it, go find the Xiao family yourself."
