Chapter 301 Mo'er is amazing, Mo'er is really incredible (4000 words)
As time went by, day by day.
Since birth, Xiao Mo has done nothing but sleep and eat every day.
A baby's main tasks are eating and sleeping.
Xiao Mo also wanted to stay awake for a while longer so he could learn more about the Xiao family through his mother's conversation with Cuicui.
However, Xiao Mo always felt sleepy shortly after waking up, and there was really nothing that could be done about it.
Xiao Mo now had a profound experience of what it means to sleep like a baby.
Moreover, Xiao Mo could clearly feel that his body was growing rapidly, changing almost every day.
In addition, Xiao Mo's vision was blurry when he was born.
But gradually, Xiao Mo was able to see things that were about twenty inches in size clearly.
Two months later, Xiao Mo was able to make "clucking" and "cooing" sounds, and no longer just cried loudly.
Xiao Mo tried to see if he could do things beyond his age.
But soon, Xiao Mo realized he was overthinking things.
Babies have their own limitations.
It is indeed not an easy task to truly tame this young body.
It was at this moment that Xiao Mo discovered he could control some of his facial expressions; he could smile.
That morning, when Zhou Ruoxi was playing with her child, Xiao Mo waved his little hands incessantly and made "giggle giggle" sounds.
Zhou Ruoxi was slightly taken aback, then a bright joy flashed in her eyes.
"Cui Cui, come and see! Mo'er can smile!" Zhou Ruoxi called out happily to the maid.
Upon hearing this, Cui Cui rushed in: "Madam, is it true? The young master can smile?"
“Yes.” Zhou Ruoxi nodded, teasing the child with a small bell, and said softly, “Mo’er, come here and give Aunt Cui a smile.”
"Giggle giggle," Xiao Mo's little hands flailing about, making a clear, cheerful laugh.
"Young Master can really smile now. Young Master looks so handsome when he smiles."
The maid Cui Cui clung to the edge of the cradle, happily poking Xiao Mo's cheek.
Although it was just a simple matter of "smiling," it felt like discovering a treasure to the young mother and her maid.
Two more months passed, and Xiao Mo was already four months old.
At this moment, Xiao Mo's eyesight was almost no different from that of an adult, and Xiao Mo found that he finally had the strength to turn over.
Not only can it roll over, it can even lie on its stomach.
And it was at this time that Xiao Mo discovered that his strength seemed a little unusual.
In Xiao Mo's opinion, his strength seemed a bit excessive for his age.
To say he was born with superhuman strength would be an exaggeration, but he is certainly stronger than the average baby of the same age.
In the sixth month after birth, Xiao Mo tried crawling and succeeded very easily.
"Mo'er, try harder, Mother is here. Climb into Mother's arms, Mo'er, slow down."
Ever since Zhou Ruoxi discovered that her son Mo'er could crawl, she would clap her hands at Xiao Mo from time to time, making Xiao Mo crawl towards her.
At this time, Xiao Mo would also try his best to crawl towards his mother.
When Xiao Mo crawled to his mother's side, the young mother would pick him up, give him a happy kiss, and say proudly, "Mo'er is so great!"
When he has nothing to do, Xiao Mo often crawls around on the bed, which is also a way of laying the foundation for his future.
Xiao Mo started working on his studies when he was six months old, striving to win at the starting line.
Of course, in order not to make his mother and Aunt Cui think he was acting strangely, Xiao Mo would only climb on the bed repeatedly when no one was around.
Once, after Xiao Mo woke up in bed, he found that his mother and Aunt Cui were not there. So Xiao Mo climbed from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed and then from the foot of the bed to the head of the bed by himself.
In order to achieve the desired training effect, Xiao Mo climbed faster and faster.
Just as Xiao Mo was happily crawling around, the door suddenly opened, and the maid Cui Cui looked in surprise at her young master crawling around like a little hamster, and with great agility, far exceeding the activity level of an ordinary baby.
Cui Cui wondered if she was seeing things, rubbed her eyes, and looked again.
As a result, their young master was still fast asleep in bed.
Am I really hallucinating?
Cui Cui thought to herself.
I might really be hallucinating because I've been too tired lately.
Otherwise, how could such a tiny baby crawl so fast?
Before long, Xiao Mo was no longer satisfied with crawling, and he began to try to stand up.
Every time Xiao Mo tried to stand up by holding onto the bed railing, Zhou Ruoxi would watch her child anxiously, her little hands clenched into fists, and she would softly call out, "Mo'er, try harder! Mo'er is so close!"
Xiao Mo was merely trying to stand up, but Zhou Ruoxi was as nervous as if something terrible had happened.
Finally, Xiao Mo stood up while holding onto the railing, but he lost his balance and plopped down on the bed with a "plop".
"It's okay, Mo'er." Zhou Ruoxi quickly hugged the child and gently stroked his little bottom. "Mo'er has already tried his best. It's okay if he can't stand up now. He'll be fine when he grows up a little more."
Despite his mother's words, Xiao Mo did not give up.
Xiao Mo often tried to stand up by holding onto the bed railing.
By the seventh month, Xiao Mo was already able to stand steadily while holding onto the bed railing, and could even stand for ten breaths without letting go.
Zhou Ruoxi was naturally very happy about her child's achievements.
However, Zhou Ruoxi did not have the idea of hoping her son would become a dragon.
In Zhou Ruoxi's view, she just wants her children to grow up healthy, get married, have children, and live a happy life.
Soon, Xiao Mo was already ten months old.
Xiao Mo can not only stand steadily, but he can even take a few steps, although he is prone to falling to the ground while walking.
At first, Zhou Ruoxi looked very nervous every time Xiao Mo fell.
But Zhou Ruoxi also knew that no child could avoid falling down.
If you fall more when you're a child, you'll fall less when you're an adult.
In the end, Zhou Ruoxi forced herself to harden her heart and stayed by the child's side, letting him walk slowly on his own.
In fact, Zhou Ruoxi did not want her child to walk so quickly.
In the Qin state, it wasn't necessarily a good thing for children to walk too early.
So normally, Zhou Ruoxi would carry Xiao Mo instead of letting him walk on the ground all the time.
Xiao Mo also sensed that his mother didn't want him to learn to walk so quickly, but he didn't know why.
During this nearly one-year period, Xiao Mo discovered that apart from the day he was born, when his biological father visited, he had never come back even once.
This doesn't just mean he's busy with official duties; it's because Xiao Mo heard from Sister Cui Cui that "Master has returned to the mansion," and he hasn't come to this courtyard even once.
However, Xiao Mo didn't really care that much.
After all, in the eyes of his cheap father, he was nothing more than an illegitimate son.
Perhaps the only purpose of myself and my mother is to increase the number of offspring in the Xiao family by one.
Fortunately, because of my birth, my mother's monthly allowance has doubled, and the food she eats every day is also much better than before.
However, Zhou Ruoxi spent all that money on Xiao Mo.
Zhou Ruoxi would have Cuicui go out to buy some good fabrics, and then make clothes and shoes for her children by hand.
In contrast, Zhou Ruoxi herself has never changed a single new piece of clothing or bought a single new piece of jewelry.
This woman always seemed so elegant and refined.
Even the maid Cui Cui sometimes couldn't stand it anymore and advised Zhou Ruoxi, "Madam, you should still buy yourself some clothes and jewelry. You haven't changed your clothes in a long time."
Zhou Ruoxi simply smiled and said, "Why would I need new clothes and jewelry? Anyway, the master won't come here, so who am I dressing up for? In comparison, it's more worthwhile to let my Mo'er dress better and eat better."
Hearing the lady's reply, Cuicui said nothing more.
She knew the lady's stubborn nature.
No matter what he said, his wife would not listen.
But many times, when Cui Cui saw her mistress coaxing the young master to sleep, she would always feel that her mistress was not worth it.
The lady was not only beautiful, but also a lady from a prominent family with a very good personality. However, because she was in an enemy country, after the city was captured, she was given to the master as a concubine.
Otherwise, the lady would have been married into a family of equal social standing and become their principal wife.
She was in a foreign country, and was even given away as a gift by her own parents.
Perhaps in the lady's heart, the young master was her only support.
Before we knew it, winter had arrived.
There is only one month left until Xiao Mo's first birthday.
Zhou Ruoxi was worried that her child would get cold, so she put a little tiger hat on him and dressed him in several layers of clothes. Xiao Mo felt like a ball.
Another two weeks have passed.
Xiao Mo tried to speak, but he couldn't tame the small body and could only make some "clucking" and "cooing" sounds.
But now, Xiao Mo felt as if something had suddenly clicked, as if he was gradually gaining a grasp of language.
This feeling is extremely wonderful; you can clearly feel that you are taming your mouth.
Furthermore, as the weather got colder, Xiao Mo noticed that his mother seemed to be paying more and more attention to the weather, and she looked somewhat nervous.
But what Zhou Ruoxi feared most has come to pass.
In mid-January, just ten days before Xiao Mo's first birthday, a heavy snow fell in the Qin capital.
Snowflakes fluttered down, turning the whole world into a white blanket.
The snow-covered landscape was beautiful, but Zhou Ruoxi had no interest in appreciating it.
For the first time in her life, Zhou Ruoxi hated snow so much.
This is because of the customs of the Qin state.
Once a child can walk on his own, he needs to undergo a test in the first heavy snowfall—the mother must stand ten feet away, and the child must walk towards his mother until he reaches her side, or until he can no longer walk.
According to the customs of the Qin state, only by experiencing the baptism of severe cold and heavy snow can a child grow taller and stronger.
On this day, the maid of the First Madam of the Xiao family came to Zhou Ruoxi's courtyard and watched Xiao Mo complete this custom.
Zhou Ruoxi naturally felt reluctant.
Children usually start walking on their own around one year old.
But my child started walking early and isn't even a year old yet.
But this was the case throughout the entire Qin state, not to mention that Mo'er was the son of the General Who Guards the North, so what could he do to refuse?
Finally, Xiao Mo was picked up by Cuicui and placed ten feet away from his mother.
Standing in the snow, Xiao Mo looked left and right.
To others, the eyes of this baby, who was not even a year old, were full of confusion.
Zhou Ruoxi forced herself to hide her worry, smiled at her child, clapped her hands, breathed warm air on him, and softly called out, "Mo'er, don't be afraid, Mo'er, come to your mother."
Xiao Mo looked at his mother, blinked his big eyes, and then took small steps toward her.
As he moved along, Xiao Mo tripped over a pebble and fell into the snowdrift with a "plop".
Zhou Ruoxi was so frightened that she immediately stood up and was about to run towards her son.
"Fifth Madam, please don't break the rules." Two maids pulled Zhou Ruoxi back and said coldly.
Zhou Ruoxi bit her thin lips as she looked at her child.
Soon, Xiao Mo got up from the snow, shook his chubby head and body, stretched out his arms, and moved step by step toward his mother.
But not long after, Xiao Mo fell down again.
But Xiao Mo got up again and continued walking forward.
The resilience shown by this child, who is not even a year old, has surprised everyone.
He fell down and got up every time, even when he was walking on the snow, the snow was up to his waist, and his little hands and cheeks were frozen red.
He didn't give up.
He didn't even utter a single tear.
Normally, most children would be sitting in the snow crying and screaming.
"Mo'er, we're almost there. Mo'er, Mother is here. Don't rush, Mo'er, take it slow."
Seeing her child shivering from the cold, Zhou Ruoxi's eyes were already red.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
finally.
Xiao Mo came to his mother and threw himself into her arms.
"Mo'er is amazing, Mo'er is really incredible."
Zhou Ruoxi quickly brushed the snow off the child's body, then held the child's little hand tightly in her palm and kept breathing warm air on it.
"Grain diligence".
Just as Zhou Ruoxi was about to carry the child into the house, Xiao Mo called out in his childish voice.
Zhou Ruoxi was slightly taken aback, staring blankly at her child: "Mo'er, what...what did you call me?"
"Mother," Xiao Mo called out again, this time with much more accuracy than the first time.
"Mo'er." Zhou Ruoxi's eyes flickered. "Mo'er, could you call me again?"
"Mother."
"Mother."
"Mother."
Xiao Mo happily shouted three times in a row.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
Zhou Ruoxi hugged the child tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and replied heavily.
"My dear child, Mommy's here. I'm here."
