Chapter 402: Babies establish a mother-child relationship by recognizing smells
After dinner, I returned home and prepared for a nap. As soon as I entered the room, I saw a crib next to the big bed. I said to Xiaolin, "He's so young, you let him sleep separately?"
Xiaolin asked, "What's the matter?"
I said, "No. Mammals, including humans, establish family bonds through scent after birth."
"He doesn't know I'm his mother?"
"I don't know. His first instinct is to find the nipple. For example, after a ewe gives birth, she will constantly lick her lambs, smearing each one with her body odor so that the lambs will become familiar with it and seek her out for milk.
People are, of course, smarter. They will take the initiative to feed their children, which also gives the children a body odor, allowing them to become familiar with it and thus establish a parent-child relationship.
If you let him sleep in a separate bed when he is so young, he will cry loudly if he wakes up and can't smell body odor.
You think it is normal for children to cry, but if it goes on for a long time and they wake up again and again, they will develop primary anxiety, and the seeds of insecurity will be planted in their original memories.
Many children who grow up to be rebellious, timid, and irritable may have slept in separate beds as infants, or perhaps lost their mother’s love at an early age.”
"I can't tell, Wan Shanhong, I thought you didn't care about your baby, but in fact you have read a lot of parenting books." After Xiao Lin said this, he carried Yu'er to the bed.
I whispered, "It wasn't until Yu'er was born that I understood. I understood it several years ago."
"Huh? You adopted one from someone else a few years ago?"
"Silly boy. I learned this from my master. All sorts of people come to see my master, many with babies crying non-stop. My master wants to know the reason. He'll give me advice after he gets to know the details."
You think fortune telling is just fortune telling? A lot of the time, it's just a consultation. That's why I started doing 'Night Talks' later on."
"That child cries when a stranger holds him. It's the smell that's wrong, right?"
"Yes. The first order is parents, the second order is grandparents, and grandparents. Relatives are related by blood. This smell has some commonality, which calms him down.
If a complete stranger tries to hold him, he'll resist. Only after he's seen and held many times, smelled the smell, and gotten used to it, will he stop crying.
“Why are there some children that anyone can hold?”
"Because his family is nearby, they are within effective distance of this safe smell. If you leave him, he will burst into tears immediately."
"Master Wan, you know everything."
"Well, since you're special, you can get a free consultation. Do you have any other questions, Ms. Tao?"
She rolled her eyes at me and whispered, "Master, do you understand what I'm thinking?"
"Or do you want to buy a detached villa?"
"Yes. She's been talking to me about this all morning. She even asked me if one dollar was worth six yuan, or more than six yuan. I told her truthfully that it was 6.6 or 6.7 yuan. It changes every day, but it's basically the same price.
After doing the math, she said she could actually afford a detached villa. She also said if you knew someone who was an official, you could get a discount by talking to him.
I really wanted to laugh. I covered my mouth and laughed for a while, afraid to wake Xiaoyu. Then I said, "Let's fulfill her wish."
Xiaolin said, "Throw it all at the house with all your strength?"
"To be honest with you, last time I said Cruz would give me hundreds of thousands on New Year's Eve. Actually, it was 1.88 million."
Xiaolin's first reaction was not surprise. Instead, he stared at me with suspicion: "Why are you telling lies?"
"You're stupid, I'll just give you a surprise."
"Are there really that many?"
"Look, isn't this a surprise?"
I don't know how other people express love. Xiaolin's way is to bite. She bit my shoulder. I grabbed her hand and said, "Shh... Don't wake me up, Xiaoyu."
She said, "I don't know how capable he is, but you can go to the Construction Department. The Construction Department is related to real estate."
I said, "I work at Rising Sun, so I'm quite familiar with the real estate business. Actually, the discounts aren't that big. Unless you're a special, key figure, they'll give you a house for free or give you half price. As for discounts for general relationships, let me explain their tactics."
Xiaolin looked at me, waiting for my next words.
"The boss usually tells people who ask for a discount that they have three shareholders in the development of this community, and they can't make decisions for the other shareholders. So, I'm giving you a 50,000 yuan discount on my own part, which is a big honor for you."
You're buying a house worth tens of millions, and you're begging him to give you a discount of 50,000 or 80,000. Is that all you need? You still owe him a favor. As for giving it all away, or even giving it to me at half price? I don't meet that standard."
Xiao Lin said, "Is that so? Does Mr. Chen lie like this too?"
"Mr. Chen is also a human being. He wants to develop. This discount is 50,000, that discount is 80,000. Do you still want to be the boss? When you still liked me a little bit, you bargained with me for the house renovation. Didn't I see you say, Wan Shanhong, I don't want my salary anymore, reduce it by another 20,000."
She rolled her eyes at me fiercely and said, "Who likes you? You're just being sentimental."
"Never mind. I want to get some sleep."
When I woke up, it was already four in the afternoon. After getting up, I said to my mother, "House prices in Upstate are not expensive now. They will appreciate in value in the future. Let's buy a detached villa."
A hint of surprise flashed across her face, and then she asked hesitantly, "Then your finances will be tight in the future."
"It's not a big problem. I still get paid, and I can earn some extra money on the side."
"You know so many leaders, ask them to talk to the boss who's selling the house for you."
I felt I had to reject her outright. If she went out and bragged to the other elderly ladies in the neighborhood about her house, saying she had gotten a promotion from her boss and her boss had given her a discount, that would get me into trouble.
I don't mind it, as it's not good for the leader who greeted me. Besides, an uneducated person like my mother sitting in the park with the old ladies outside is just showing off to the younger generation.
The topics they talked about were how much money my son could earn in a year, how my grandson was extremely smart, how he was not used to going back to the countryside, and that even though their houses were beautifully built, the village was filled with the smell of chicken manure and cow dung... and so on.
I said, "It's not a big discount. For me, owing someone a favor for fifty or a hundred thousand yuan isn't worth it. If you ever let it slip and they investigate, your career as an official will be ruined. Let's just live a clean life and live peacefully, okay?"
She said, "Just make it clear to me. I've suffered all my life, and I want to save whatever I can."
The phone rang, and it was Mr. Chen. He invited me to dinner with Mr. Shi, Yishu, and Mingbai.
I said, "You've known Mr. Shi for a short time, haven't you?"
"Yes, there was a task that was jointly undertaken by our two units. Their team was led by Shi Ting, and ours was led by me. The two of us got to know each other and chatted about this and that, and it turned out that we had a good friend in common."
"Just don't have a common girlfriend."
There was a burst of laughter over there. After Chen Ting finished laughing, he said, "It's at Yishu's Lihua Hotel. Come over at 5:30."
"Okay. Be on time."
My mother looked at me and asked, "You're not eating at home again?"
Xiao Lin said, "Don't give him rice normally. He's eaten it a few times at home."
My mother said, "The one from the theater troupe invited you for lunch, but not for dinner. Don't eat with women anymore."
I burst out laughing: "How did you know we were having lunch with the people in the troupe?"
"I was there when you called last night."
Xiao Lin said, "Go quickly. What are you talking about parent-child relationship? I'm afraid your son won't recognize you when he grows up."
My mother said, "If you can avoid going, then don't go."
I said, "I understand you know them, Mr. Shen and Mr. Shi, they are both people of status. How about I send you a photo of them having dinner?"
"Okay, okay, your job is to rely on many people."
I said, "Xiao Lin, you are amazing! Now my mother is on your side."
She rolled her eyes at me. "We care about you and remind you. When have we ever stopped you from leaving?"
As I went downstairs and drove to the car, I thought, "So I lied to Mr. Hu and said dinner was arranged. Someone really did arrange it. This is a good sign. I'm sure I'll find a good house tomorrow."
