Chapter 222 221. Precious treasure, precious treasure
"Ginger or baby?"
Little Ginger's cheeks were rosy and rosy, like a peach in spring. "Ginger is as big as daddy now. Is he also a baby?"
"Of course."
"What about when you're as old as daddy?"
"That's right~"
"Then, like grandpa and grandma, if they have grandchildren like Jiang, are they also daddy and grandpa's babies?"
"yes!"
Lei Li smiled and said with certainty, "Ginger will always be Daddy and Grandfather's baby. Even if Jiang is too old to move, he will still be Daddy and Grandfather's favorite baby."
"Hehe~"
The little ginger smiled shyly, with a bright light flashing in his eyes, and his whole face became lively and bright.
Lei Li smiled, a bit teasingly, "This nickname was thought up by your father when he was pregnant with Jiang. He called it Baobao, meaning a cute and lovable child."
"Baby."
"Precious treasure, precious treasure."
"Daddy thought Bao Bao sounded better than Wa Wa, so he decided to give our ginger the nickname Bao Bao."
"Your dad used to call you 'baby' a lot when you were younger. Now when he sees a baby as small as ginger, he's used to calling him 'baby' too. Grandpa and grandma are the same."
"Really?"
Little Ginger blinked in surprise, "That Ginger was too young, I don't even remember it. Daddy doesn't call me Baby Ginger anymore, only Daddy does sometimes."
"Your father is shy."
Lei Li narrowed his eyes and spoke in a light and teasing tone, "Sheng Jiang is so familiar with Daddy, how could he not know your Daddy? Daddy kissed him and he blushed and became speechless. The word 'baby' is so corny, how can you even call him Daddy now?"
"Before Jiang was even born, your father started thinking of a name for you. He thought of many, many names, but none of them satisfied him, so he just gave you a nickname."
"Every time your daddy holds you, he keeps asking, 'Baby, do we have a daddy?', 'Baby, are you sleeping well?', 'Baby, why are you crying? Are you hungry?', 'Baby, why aren't you sleeping yet? Your daddy is asleep, but you're still so energetic.'..."
"Whenever they mention little ginger, they would ask what happened to the baby, whether it was this or that, and they would talk about our big ginger baby every three sentences."
"Dad, there are times like this?"
Little Ginger was very surprised.
He'd seen his father call his younger brother "baby" so many times, with a gentle and doting expression, but he hadn't realized that his father had called him that too. It felt strange, and also so gentle, to always have his father calling him "baby."
"Hmm~"
Lei Li snorted softly, "When Jiang was born but was still very young, your father took care of little Jiang just like he is taking care of Zhou Zhou now."
"Your father had no experience at that time. He was so nervous and helpless when he saw us little soft ginger. He was so busy changing your diaper and putting on your clothes that he didn't dare to hold ginger in his arms."
"Your father is very strong, and he's afraid that he might hurt Ginger accidentally, or that he might feel uncomfortable if he holds her improperly."
"I learned little by little later, holding Ginger and changing her clothes and diapers day after day. I held her more and changed her diapers more often, and only then did I become so proficient now."
"Your breathing was very quiet back then, so quiet that sometimes I couldn't hear it even if I got close to you."
"Your father put his finger under Ni's nose to feel if the ginger was breathing. When he saw that it was breathing and warm, he felt relieved and at ease."
"At that time, we were really worried about Sheng Jiang sleeping alone in the room. Even though there was a wet nurse, Nanny Fang, and other maids and sisters watching over us, your father still felt uneasy. He wanted to put Sheng Jiang's crib in our room and keep it next to us at all times to feel at ease."
"But it's not convenient for the nurse to feed Jiang."
"Your father moved the crib back to your room, and then he would check on you several times every night. When he saw the light in your room was on, he would ask Nanny and Nanny Fang about your condition."
"Did you drink enough milk? Is it okay? How was your sleep? Did you feel hot or cold? Did you cry at night..."
Lei Li said with a smile, "Ginger's room is so close to ours. If Ginger really cried, your father has such good ears that he would have heard it long ago and flown to Ginger's side, hugged our baby Ginger and comforted her."
"Wow……"
Little Jiang laughed in surprise and joy, his eyes curved like crescent moons, "Dad also said that I was attached to Brother Xiaobao. Dad used to be attached to Jiang too, even more than he is to Brother Zhouzhou now!"
"yes."
Lei Li couldn't help laughing, "One night your father had a nightmare. He dreamed of some bad things about Sheng Jiang. He was so scared that he couldn't sleep. He ran to Sheng Jiang's room and stayed with her the whole night without even looking away."
"I don't even remember ginger..."
"Ginger was only a few months old at the time, about the same age as Zhou Zhou's younger brother is now. It's normal that he doesn't remember it."
Lei Li smiled cheerfully, "Ginger, do you still remember that when you were a little over a year old, you always hated sleeping in your crib. Every night, you would come knocking on our door, carrying your little pillow and quilt."
"You said, da da da, daddy, are you asleep?"
"Your father said, no, what happened to Ginger? Can't sleep?"
"Just nod your head and say yes, yes, I slept for a long, long time but couldn't fall asleep!"
"Your daddy picked you up and placed you between daddy and grandpa, patting Ginger's back gently and singing nursery rhymes to coax Ginger to sleep."
"Then you said every night that you couldn't sleep and wanted to sleep with Daddy and Grandpa. You asked Daddy to sing nursery rhymes for you, and you would cry when he got to the two lines about Lu Binghua..."
Lei Li thought for a moment, "It's that line, 'Every night I think of my mother's words, tears sparkling like lupine flowers.'"
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the little ginger had dropped a small pearl, and her big eyes were shining with water, which scared him a little and made him laugh.
While wiping Ginger's tears, she teased him, "Has it become a conditioned reflex? Ginger starts crying just by hearing a few words?"
"Ginger doesn't know either..."
Little Ginger was a little blushing and shy, and he obediently tilted his little face up to let his father wipe the tears. His long eyelashes were wet by his tears and slightly stuck together, making him look even more pitiful and cute.
"When Sheng Jiang heard that, I felt depressed and wanted to cry... Mom, is this what Daddy and Mom meant?"
"yes."
Lei Li smiled and nodded. "That's how your father's hometown calls them. They say that when babies are born, they like to make the 'muamua' sound, as if they're calling for their mother, so they call their father and mother "mother."
"Mother……"
Little Jiang recited the word, then suddenly covered his mouth with his hands, and smirked slyly, "I feel like Daddy is more like Mommy, and Daddy is more like Daddy. It seems like Jiang has both a Mommy and a Daddy..."
A mom and a dad...
Lei Li was so happy that he didn't know what had touched his funny bone. He laughed for a long time before he finally stopped and continued to guide Xiao Shengjiang.
"Do you think Daddy loves ginger very much?"
"Yes!"
"Ginger now thinks that Dad likes his younger brother more and doesn't like Jiang as much anymore?"
"ah……"
Little Ginger didn't expect that his secretly jealousy was discovered by his father. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment and his little face turned red. But then he felt very happy and couldn't help laughing.
Dad has always cared about ginger, and my father has always been concerned about ginger.
Daddy and Grandpa are so nice!
Ginger is so happy!
Ginger has a very good daddy, a very good uncle, and a very cute little brother.
Jiang also has wonderful grandparents, a wonderful brother Xiaobao, a wonderful sister Jingsheng, wonderful great-grandparents, great-uncle, cousins, cousin Huaer, and cousin Xiaomu...
Everyone is so nice!
—
At night.
The happy little ginger carried his little pillow and quilt and ran to knock on his father's and grandpa's doors, "Dadadada, are you asleep?"
"Not yet."
It was my father's voice, "What's wrong, Ginger? Is it too hot to sleep?"
It's summer now.
Baby Zhou Zhou is already a few months old, and Sanlihe Village has entered the scorching summer. Soon the village school will be on summer vacation.
"Ginger wants to sleep with Daddy."
As soon as little Jiang finished speaking, the door opened. He raised his little face to look at his father. His father was only wearing thin pajamas and was probably about to lie down to sleep.
"You want to sleep with Daddy?"
Zhou Yi spoke softly, with a smile that he didn't even notice. He squatted down, picked up the little ginger with one hand, closed the door and turned to walk into the house.
There were two ice basins on the windowsill and two large buckets of ice beside the bed. The cool air wafted out from the ice, making the whole room cooler.
There are only two buckets of ice in Ginger's room every day, for fear that the cold and humidity will be too heavy and make the little one sick and catch a cold.
"Daddy and Grandpa's rooms are quite cool. Will Ginger feel cold?"
"It's not cold."
The little ginger giggled and said, "Ginger likes it cool, it's not cold at all."
"Then Ginger will sleep with Daddy tonight!"
Zhou Yi took off the shoes of little Jiang, put him on the bed, and then touched his little face. There was no sweat, so he felt relieved that he was not hot.
Little Ginger was held in the arms of his father, and rolled over on the bed into his arms. His father tickled his belly, and he giggled and tickled his father as well.
The father and son were laughing and playing on the bed.
Zhou Yi, who went to turn off the lights, heard this and turned around to see this scene, and couldn't help laughing.
As soon as he turned off the lights and got into bed, he was attacked by the united father and son. They kept tickling him, and it finally turned into a big battle between the father and son.
Little Ginger was tired after playing for so long, so he lay down to sleep with his father's coaxing. His father patted his back gently, and he fell asleep soon.
There was a happy and satisfied smile on his little face, and it seemed that his little head was full of sweet dreams.
Zhou Yi didn't think much about the little ginger who had vowed some time ago that he was a big kid and needed to be independent, suddenly coming over to sleep with him.
Just a child.
Suddenly wanting to sleep independently, suddenly wanting to sleep with daddy, suddenly wanting to eat snacks and meals in the middle of the night, isn't that normal?
