Li Aiguo got married not long ago, and his little Niangao is almost a year old.
Mrs. He originally wanted to come, but Mr. He had high blood pressure and was worried about traveling far away, so they could only wait and see if there would be another opportunity to come to the station.
Although Aunt He didn't come, the first birthday gift for Xiao Niangao arrived.
Besides a lucky cloud-patterned golden lock, there was also milk powder, winter clothes, sweaters and trousers knitted by Mother He in her spare time, and woolen shoes.
It's small and cute.
Mother He also sent Yun Jin a plaid scarf, which was clearly a foreign brand.
Ms. He said that a friend brought it back from abroad, but she felt that the color was a bit too youthful and that it was not suitable for her since her hair was already white. So she sent it to Yun Jin, hoping that she would not mind.
Yun Jin didn't mind at all and immediately put the scarf around her neck. The wool scarf was comfortable, soft, and warm, and Yun Jin liked it very much.
The auspicious cloud gold lock was given to Xiao Niangao, and she played with it for a while before hanging it around Xiao Niangao's neck.
Yun Jin said that they take photos every year on Xiao Niangao's birthday. This time, instead of borrowing a camera, they went directly to a photo studio to take photos, and the three of them dressed up specially.
The photographer also commented that the gold lock around Xiao Niangao's neck was beautiful, and that she was clearly a child cherished by her elders.
Yun Jin agreed.
He Tingchuan remained expressionless.
The little rice cake smiled, revealing its teeth.
With a click, the image froze, capturing a happy moment of a family of three.
Yun Jin asked to have several photos printed so she could send one to He's parents, one to her grandmother, and two more for herself. She would keep the negatives for herself and come back to have more photos printed later if needed.
For Xiao Niangao's first birthday, a banquet was held at a state-run restaurant. The birthday celebration was worthwhile, and a traditional "grasping ceremony" was also prepared. Under everyone's attention, Xiao Niangao saw something unfamiliar among the dazzling array of various items.
It was a gun that He Tingchuan had unloaded, rendering it harmless.
Yun Jin looked at He Tingchuan.
He Tingchuan smiled ingratiatingly: "No bullets."
Yun Jin then let her go.
Little Rice Cake chuckled and glanced at the prepared gifts, finally grabbing the wooden gun and examining it curiously for a few moments. Just when everyone thought she liked it, she shoved it into He Tingchuan's hand.
The political commissar laughed and said, "She's smart; she knows it belongs to her father."
Commander Chen said, "Like father, like daughter. Train her well, and she'll become a female regimental commander in the future!"
Yun Jin couldn't bear to see Xiao Niangao suffer, but as for her son, it was better for him to train in the army and protect the country.
She only has one daughter, so naturally she'll spoil her. She can do whatever she wants with her in the future; she won't deliberately train her to join the army.
He Tingchuan wouldn't either. He knew the hardships of being a soldier, and he was willing to endure them, but he didn't want to force his daughter.
If Xiao Niangao herself is willing, He Tingchuan will definitely give her his full support.
Xiao Niangao received many gifts for her first birthday. Li Aiguo gave her a set of clothes in return, which was clearly the work of his new wife. Yun Jin liked them very much and accepted the gift with a smile.
The gifts from others were also quite nice; they were all things that Xiao Nian Gao (a type of rice cake) could use.
After the first birthday ceremony, Xiao Nian Gao seemed to have a breakthrough. Before, he could only take a few shaky steps, but after his first birthday, he could take several steps without being held and he wouldn't fall.
Yun Jin was very happy when Xiao Niangao learned to walk.
She waved to Xiao Niangao, who trotted around, her little legs trembling as if she were about to fall, but she still insisted on rushing into her arms and acting cute, which earned her Yun Jin's happy encouragement.
After He Tingchuan returned, he even had Xiao Niangao show off a part of the journey to her father.
He Tingchuan's heart melted as he watched his adorable daughter rush towards him.
At night, after Xiao Niangao fell asleep and the couple finished their intimate time, He Tingchuan hugged Yun Jin and kissed her: "Wow, time flies! Xiao Niangao can already walk. She's grown up so fast."
"Soon?" Yun Jin chuckled, "I'd love for her to grow up quickly. Taking care of a child every day is so boring; it's like constantly revolving around the child."
He Tingchuan felt guilty and kissed her forehead: "You've worked hard taking care of the child. Luckily, there's only one. It will be better when she starts school. Our military region has a kindergarten. We'll send her to kindergarten when she's three or four years old."
"Yes, that's what I think too." After Xiao Niangao started kindergarten, things had already changed, so how could she possibly stay at home to take care of the child?
Taking advantage of the reform, Yun Jin is determined to make a big splash, develop her career and industry, and become a self-made millionaire.
He Tingchuan hugged her: "We still have to work hard for another two or three years."
"Our little rice cake is so cute, I'd be willing to work hard for another three years. After all, I gave birth to her, so I'd gladly accept it."
He Tingchuan glanced at his daughter, who was sleeping soundly with her little hands clenched into fists above her head, her arms and legs outstretched, revealing her bulging belly. He covered her with a blanket, his eyes overflowing with fatherly love that was impossible to ignore: "Thank you, wife, for giving me such a lovely daughter."
Yun Jin smiled smugly.
He Tingchuan really should thank her.
If she hadn't come, this adorable baby would never have been born.
According to the original novel, he and Feng Qianqian will have three sons and one daughter, and he will eventually spoil his youngest daughter rotten.
Looking at it now, Yun Jin realized that no matter how much He Tingchuan doted on his daughter in the original novel, it couldn't compare to his affection for Xiao Niangao.
In order to dote on Xiao Nian Gao exclusively, he voluntarily requested to have his tubal ligation performed.
From now on, he will only have one daughter, and his fatherly love will only be given to Xiaoniangao.
Yun Jin secretly shook her head, not wanting to recall those disgusting plots from the original novel. Now, it was she who was living with He Tingchuan, not Feng Qianqian.
......
Little Niangao is one year old, and Little Doubao, who came to our home, has also grown quite a bit. The little guy doesn't like staying at home now; he wants to follow his mother and daughter wherever they go, becoming the most pampered dog in the compound.
