Liang Zhirou froze, her eyes glistening with tears, and remained motionless for a long time.
"Mommy~ Mommy~"
Chen Muxue's pronunciation was initially unclear, but it became clearer and clearer as she kept shouting.
"Oh, oh... Mom's here." Liang Zhirou finally realized what was happening and quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
"Mother!"
"I'm here."
Liang Zhirou's eyes were red, and she responded every time Chen Muxue called her name, afraid that Chen Muxue would call her name in vain.
The mother and daughter called out to each other with smiles and tireless enthusiasm, while the other answered with tears in her eyes. Chen Muxue seemed to find it very amusing and giggled.
Xiao Xunfang didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly to the side.
Chen Lu, who was taking a nap, came out when he heard the noise and asked while yawning, "What's wrong?"
"Little Muxue can call me 'Mama' now!"
Liang Zhirou's tone was unusually excited. In Chen Lu's memory, this simple-minded girl had always spoken in a somewhat timid manner, and this was the first time he had spoken so loudly.
I leaned closer to listen, and the girl was indeed shouting.
Master Chen suddenly felt like he had eaten a whole box of lemons, and his mouth watered from the sourness.
It's... kind of enviable.
It's a pity that despite his hard work teaching his father for several months, neither child learned it in the end.
But as long as Liang Zhirou is happy, that's all that matters. This silly girl has been worried about these two kids for so long.
Despite his envy, he still took Chen Yunqi from Xiao Xunfang's arms, bounced him a couple of times, and whispered:
"Yunqi, your little sister has already learned to call her 'Mom,' you should call her 'Mom' too."
Chen Yunqi sucked his fingers, his big eyes scanning his parents' faces thoughtfully before finally settling on Chen Lu's face.
"What's wrong?" Chen Lu stared at him blankly.
"ba~ba~" Chen Yunqi's tone wasn't as precise as his sister's, but it was still noticeable.
Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, and a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Is this brat trying to comfort him?
Two seconds later, he laughed and dismissed the childish idea—what would such a young child know? He'll only be a year old in two months.
Hearing her brother shouting, Chen Muxue called out "Dad" to Chen Lu as if in a competitive spirit.
Chen Lu, who had been feeling sour, immediately raised his eyebrows and said smugly to Liang Zhirou:
"Look, when I taught them to call me 'Dad,' you said it was too early. Now you're envious, aren't you?"
Liang Zhirou puffed out her cheeks, then looked at Chen Yunqi with a gentle expression, "Yunqi, can you call me 'Mom' too?"
"Mother!"
If her husband and mother hadn't been there, Liang Zhirou would have been so excited she would have wanted to run to bed and roll around a couple of times.
Chen Lu: "..."
Master Chen's momentary smugness vanished instantly.
Chen Yunqi's pronunciation of "Mom" is much more standard than his pronunciation of "Dad".
This little rascal probably didn't actually know how to call out "Mom" from the start; he only called out "Dad" because he felt sorry for his old man.
I always thought this little guy was a bit more simple-minded than Mu Xue, but now it seems he's not that simple.
He and Liang Zhirou are such simple and honest people, how did they give birth to such two clever and mischievous children?
After a while, leaving Liang Zhirou in the living room crying and laughing while taking care of the two children, he silently walked to the balcony of the master bedroom, casually pulled the glass partition closed, and as the partition was slowly closed, the noise in the living room was gradually shut out.
Looking at the azure sky above, Chen Lu pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of calling Wang Xiaoxia.
He couldn't even remember whether he called his father or mother first when he was a child, since he was so young then.
But he will always remember that he was just joining in the fun with his parents back then, never expecting that Chen Mo would actually call him "brother" first.
Chen Guanglin and Wang Xiaoxia were stunned for a long time, filled with envy.
The couple said they would remember this for the rest of their lives, but so did he.
Back then, because of that incredibly innocent "brother," he was only in elementary school when he was willing to save up his meager weekly allowance of just a few yuan, managing to accumulate over two hundred yuan to buy the most expensive doll in the mall at the time.
The sales clerk was initially hesitant to sell him the money because the child was so young and had brought so much cash with him.
Now, he is willing to give everything, including his life, for Liang Zhirou, because this simpleton calls him husband.
He is willing to do everything he can to take care of Yunqi and Muxue as they grow up, because these two little ones call him Dad.
Perhaps this is what responsibility is.
Still lost in memories, the call suddenly connected, and Wang Xiaoxia's curious voice came through:
"Hello?"
"Mom, did I call out 'Dad' first or 'Mom' first when I was a child?"
Wang Xiaoxia's tone immediately turned cold: "Just tell me, what trouble have you gotten into this time?"
"Why would you think that?!" Chen Lu was furious and trembling.
"Because I reasonably suspect that you are trying to awaken your mother's maternal love and affection for you so that I will give you a break."
Wang Xiaoxia said seriously and firmly.
Chen Lu twitched the corner of his mouth. "I'm being serious."
"I already said that, you definitely called out 'Mom' first."
"You remember it so clearly?"
"Of course, parents will remember these things for a lifetime. You can ask me again decades from now, it will be the same."
Wang Xiaoxia realized what was going on after she finished speaking and quickly asked, "Did those two little kids call for help?"
"Yes, Mu Xue called out 'Mom' first, and Yun Qi called out 'Dad' first. The two little ones happened to be on the same day."
"Okay... I need to teach them to call me 'Grandma' tomorrow, before their maternal grandmas beat me to it!"
