In early October, people from the telecommunications bureau came to install the telephone. Su Qingmeng called all her friends, and Lin Xiuyao did the same, and he notified his hometown.
Lin Baoguo was very pleased to know that they had installed a private telephone. Yao boy was getting more and more capable. He asked Lin Xiuyao if he would come back to attend Lin Xiutong's wedding. He was going to get married at the end of the year. Lin Xiuyao said he would think about it.
He called Lin Xiutong's workplace and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Lin Xiutong. I'm his second brother."
Lin Xiutong came over to answer the phone, "Brother Xiuyao, what happened?"
Lin Xiuyao, "I've installed a telephone at home. Just letting you know, from now on, just call this number."
Lin Xiuyao: "It seems that your business is doing well, brother. You even installed a phone."
"I heard you're getting married at the end of the year."
Lin Xiutong was a little embarrassed, "This is the plan for now. My girlfriend and I have been dating for two years." His girlfriend is a teacher. His parents are quite satisfied with him and are anxious for him to get married. His mother has been urging him for a long time.
"Kang Kang is young, and it's quite cold where we live in winter. It's not convenient for them to go back to their parents' home. Please set a date and tell me, and I'll see if I can go back." Lin Xiuyao has a close relationship with this cousin, and he tries his best not to miss his major life events.
Lin Xiutong said, "It's okay, Brother Xiuyao. Considering your situation, it's not convenient for you to come back specially." Nowadays, people are not used to traveling far. Although the letter of introduction has been cancelled, it is still troublesome to travel across provinces.
"I'll see to it. It's alright, hanging up." It was a call from work, and they had been chatting for a while.
Su Qingmeng: "Xiu Tong is getting married?"
Lin Xiuyao nodded, "Probably by the end of the year."
"Then you go back by yourself. It's not very far." Among Lin Xiuyao's brothers, Lin Xiutong is the one she is most familiar with. When they were preparing for the college entrance examination, they studied together for two months.
"I'll go back after seeing if there are any unexpected situations. I'll go to Changchun to sell the Clivia." The Clivia market in Beijing is booming right now, and it's estimated to be more expensive in Changchun.
After installing the phone, their communication became much more convenient. Lin Xiuyao thought the phone was a truly great invention. However, he had heard Su Qingmeng mention smartphones in the future, which could not only make calls, but also take photos, listen to music, and play games. "When will smartphones be available? Just hearing you talk about it makes me look forward to it."
"It will take more than 30 years. By then I will be 60 years old. I will be an old lady." Su Qingmeng sighed.
Lin Xiuyao: "Then you are also the most fashionable old lady."
"Yes, I can help you win the game and become the king." She fantasized about the life of helping her "sister" to rank higher.
Alas, life is not only about poetry and distant places, but also about the immediate reality. The more she thinks about it, the more depressed she becomes. She works diligently every day because there is little entertainment nowadays. Otherwise, if she had a mobile phone with internet access, she would have bought several houses and lived there peacefully.
Su Qingmeng decided to write a novel about time travel to the modern era next. It just so happened that the construction of the Four Modernizations was being promoted now, and no one knew more about modernization than her.
It was time for parent-child time, and Su Qingmeng went to find Kang Kang, who could now crawl. Su Qingmeng instructed Lin Xiuyao to set up a toy room in the east wing. She laid out a blanket on the floor and put a fence around the door to prevent him from "escaping," letting him crawl inside.
The room was filled with stuffed animals, including pandas, tigers, and other stuffed animals, as well as geometric figures of various colors that Su Qingmeng had sewn with cloth and cotton. There were also building blocks and cars that Lin Xiuyao had brought back.
Aunt Mi watched from the side, preventing him from putting anything in his mouth. Since Kang Kang's teeth started growing, he'd want to bite everything. Su Qingmeng played with him for two hours in the afternoon, and then again in the evening when Lin Xiuyao came back. The little guy couldn't live without his parents' company.
Kang Kang played with the building blocks for a while, and then started playing the game of throw and pick up with Su Qingmeng. She threw the doll out, and Kang Kang crawled over to pick it up and handed it to her. Su Qingmeng touched his head and said, "Kang Kang is so great." Kang Kang smiled happily.
Lin Xiuyao called out, "Wife, it's time for dinner." Su Qingmeng picked up Kang Kang and said, "Let's go eat."
Kang Kang waved his arms excitedly. He could now understand what it meant to eat. Su Qingmeng increased the amount of complementary food and reduced the amount of milk powder, and he ate very happily.
When he was nine months old, they could finally sleep through the night without having to get up to feed him. He was also easier to take care of during the day, and the couple finally got through the 'beginner' period.
Recently, Su Qingmeng started teaching Kang Kang to talk, asking him to call her "Mom." Lin Xiuyao, not to be outdone, also taught him to call "Dad," and the two began a competition to see who could call first.
This morning, Su Qingmeng played with him tossing the little tiger, and Kang Kang suddenly called out "Mom" with clear pronunciation.
Su Qingmeng picked him up in surprise and said, "Call me again." "Mom, Mom." He spit out saliva in excitement. Su Qingmeng wiped his mouth and was happy in her heart, "Kang Kang is really my good baby."
She took a photo of Kang Kang and wrote the date on the back of the photo after it was developed to commemorate the first time he called her "Mom."
Suddenly inspired, Su Qingmeng took out a large notebook, found the previous photos, and made a baby growth diary.
When Lin Xiuyao came back at noon, Su Qingmeng boasted to him, "Kang Kang can call me mom now."
Lin Xiuyao found her smug expression a little funny. He looked at his son and said, "Kang Kang, call me daddy, daddy."
"No, pfft." Kang Kang spoke incoherently and spit on his face.
"Haha." Su Qingmeng gloated.
Lin Xiuyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Little spray bottle."
Su Qingmeng took out the notebook she made during the day and said, "Look, I made it today." The notebook recorded the interesting moments from Kang Kang's birth to the present, with dates, text and pictures, and photos next to them.
Her design was very interesting. "This is novel, like a comic strip. It will be so fun for him to recall it when he grows up." Lin Xiuyao was overjoyed. His wife was really talented.
