Looking at Xiao Yuanyuan's lively appearance while eating blueberries, Bai Qingnian thought of the missing little parrot.
In fact, the blueberries in our house were bought for the little parrot.
He and Gu Xiefeng didn't like this, and they had never raised a parrot before, so they didn't know what to feed it on a daily basis. After searching online, they happened to see this, so they bought a box.
At that time, Bai Qingnian didn't taste it himself, but directly fed one to the little parrot.
Then I saw a horrible scene where the little parrot took a few small pecks and then fell down with its feet facing the air.
Bai Qingnian almost thought it was poisoned by the blueberries. Fortunately, after a while, the little parrot jumped up again, flapped its wings and chirped, and then continued to peck at the blueberries.
It looked very cute, and was extremely similar to Xiao Yuanyuan's reaction of sitting down on the ground and then standing up again when eating blueberries.
Bai Qingnian still missed this little parrot. Such a cute and lively little parrot. He didn't know why it disappeared and where it went now.
Xiao Yuanyuan felt satisfied after eating the sour blueberries, but the hunger in her stomach seemed to grow stronger.
Although he hasn't learned much human language, the little guy has rich body language. He touched his belly towards Bai Qingnian, opened his mouth and called out twice. Bai Qingnian knew that he was hungry and was waiting for food.
Bai Qingnian doesn't know how to cook, he doesn't have this skill naturally, usually when there is a fire at home, it must be Gu Xiefeng who cooks. But they are both busy with work, always leaving early and returning late, if Bai Qingnian hadn't been suspended during this period, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to eat together.
Fortunately, the residential community where I live has thoughtful service. There are special hourly workers who come to clean the house every day. I can also order three meals a day from the community restaurant, and the housekeeper will deliver them to my door.
Bai Qingnian had already ordered lunch when he got home, and comforted Xiao Yuanyuan: "Lunch will be here soon, can you wait a little longer, Yuanyuan?"
Of course, Xiao Yuanyuan doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it, as long as there is food to eat, it’s good enough.
Sitting on the sofa, he smiled at Bai Qingnian: "Ba!"
He really hoped that he could learn human language quickly. In fact, he could understand most of what the adults said, and if he knew human language, he would be able to respond.
When he learns to speak, the first thing he will do is to ask Bai Qingnian and Gu Xiefeng to accept him immediately. Such a cute baby has come to their door, they must accept him, why would they think of rejecting him
The little parrot cannot understand human thinking. When he hatched from his shell, he was the most beautiful and popular little parrot in the Xiaojiujiu community. And when he came here, he also felt that the fathers liked him very much.
As a result, when he turned into a human cub, he was not as pleasing to them as a little parrot. What on earth are humans thinking? They are such strange creatures.
Lunch has not arrived yet, so an adult and a child are sitting and waiting.
Bai Qingnian had no experience in raising children and didn't know what to do with Yuanyuan, but little Yuanyuan was very well behaved. He sat next to him, took the smart pinyin poster and consciously followed to learn how to recognize the small animals.
He couldn't read at all in the first two days, and no matter what he followed, he just kept mumbling "ah ba ah ba". He has been much better in the past two days, and his performance today was the biggest improvement.
Bai Qingnian picked up a book casually and read it, but his eyes were still on Xiao Yuanyuan.
Although he is not really ready to adopt this child, little Yuanyuan is so well-behaved, cute, and as sweet as a little peach, it is really hard to take your eyes off her.
Xiao Yuanyuan didn't know that Bai Qingnian was paying attention to him and was seriously learning the human language.
When his finger pressed on the puppy picture, a mechanical female voice sounded "puppy", and Xiao Yuanyuan followed and said, but what came out was "Xiao Dou".
He didn't know that the pronunciation he made was actually incorrect. He thought that since he could pronounce it, it must be correct.
Bai Qingnian couldn't help laughing. Xiao Yuanyuan became even more excited after hearing it. He repeated it three times in a row, shaking a little.
so cute.
Bai Qingnian had seen many children, but it seemed that not all of them were so cute. When he heard the little guy calling the puppy "Xiao Dou" in a childish voice, his mood would inexplicably improve.
Lunch was delivered about twenty minutes later, and Gu Xiefeng also came along.
This is a rare thing. At least Bai Qingnian hasn't had lunch with Gu Xiefeng for a long time.
Thinking it might be because there was a new child at home, Bai Qingnian teased him: "Boss Gu is a busy man, how come you have time to come back at noon today?"
Gu Xiefeng smiled, picked him up with one hand and walked inside: "Isn't it good for me to come back and have lunch with you?"
"Let me go and stop making trouble." His voice was lowered. "There are children at home now. Can you be serious?"
Little Yuanyuan didn’t know what the two parents were doing. When he saw Gu Xiefeng coming back, he actually wanted to go up and ask for a hug, but he didn’t dare.
Gu Xiefeng is not as friendly as Bai Qingnian. When he was still a little parrot, it was Bai Qingnian who took care of him more.
Xiao Yuanyuan sat on the sofa without moving, pretending to be calm, but he couldn't help swinging his little heels left and right, and his sincere and expectant look betrayed his inner thoughts.
It looks like it is saying—I want a hug too, come and hug me quickly.
When Gu Xiefeng saw the look in the child's eyes, he went up to him, picked him up, threw him high and then caught him.
Little Yuanyuan was so happy that she burst into laughter and hugged Gu Xiefeng: "Ba ba!"
It should be a warm scene, but Bai Qingnian felt a little complicated when watching it.
It was Gu Xiefeng who suggested to temporarily adopt Xiao Yuanyuan, but even if Gu Xiefeng didn't say the reason, Bai Qingnian knew it. Looking at the innocent Xiao Yuanyuan, Bai Qingnian always felt a little sorry for this child.
Gu Xiefeng held little Yuanyuan in his arms and saw the pinyin diagram on the sofa. He asked him, "What did Yuanyuan learn today?"
Xiao Yuanyuan happily replied: "... Dou, Xiao Doudou!"
Gu Xiefeng was stunned: "Little tremor?"
Little Wish nodded vigorously: "Yes! Little Doudou!"
Gu Xiefeng took a look at the pinyin picture. It was indeed an animal picture, but he had never heard of what kind of creature Xiao Dou Dou was.
Looking at Bai Qingnian, Bai Qingnian silently told him with his mouth, dog.
Gu Xiefeng suddenly realized and found it too funny. He thought Xiao Yuanyuan had invented some new creature, but it turned out to be a puppy.
"I see, I learned to tremble a little."
"Um!"
"Okay, let's have lunch."
"Um!"
Neither Bai Qingnian nor Gu Xiefeng had any experience in raising children. They didn't know what was needed to raise a child. They bought some things repeatedly several times, resulting in Xiao Yuanyuan now having five pairs of auxiliary chopsticks just for eating. Choosing chopsticks for eating every day is like a little emperor flipping cards, and he uses whichever pair he likes.
There was no nanny at home originally. They were both busy with work and rarely ate at home. It was enough for the community housekeeping company to come and clean the house on weekdays.
Although they only adopted Xiao Yuanyuan temporarily, and they will definitely return the child if his parents show up in the future, but now that they live together, the two adults are seriously considering whether to hire a nanny to help take care of the child's daily life.
Of course, fortunately, Xiao Yuanyuan is a very well-behaved baby. The two adults who have no parenting experience do not feel overwhelmed when taking care of him. Instead, they are often healed by him.
While eating, Gu Xiefeng asked, "How about taking a break tomorrow and going to the amusement park together?"
He couldn't remember how long it had been since they had gone out on a date. When he heard Gu Xiefeng ask him if he wanted to go to the amusement park, Bai Qingnian thought he was joking: "Are you free tomorrow?"
"People always need to rest."
He didn't say he was free, so it seems he has to squeeze in some time.
Bai Qingnian said: "You take care of your business, I will take Yuanyuan out."
Although Xiao Yuanyuan can understand what adults say, he may not understand the meaning of the words. Just like the amusement park, he can hear the pronunciation of these words, but he doesn't know what it is, nor does he know what to do when he goes there.
But when Bai Qingnian mentioned his name, he knew it very well. He was just about to put the sweet and sour pork into his mouth, but when he heard Bai Qingnian calling him, he didn't want the meat anymore. He put the meat back into the bowl and responded happily: "Ba! Chu!"
He wanted to say "go", but he couldn't pronounce it smoothly. The sound of "啾" was much smoother, so he said it out loud.
After eating, he immediately picked up the meat. The little glutton was very active and smart when it came to eating. He knew that he had to blow on the food before putting it in his mouth, otherwise it would burn his mouth.
Gu Xiefeng said: "Let's go together, I'm free."
Gu Xiefeng insisted on being free, and Bai Qingnian couldn't refuse anymore, so he agreed.
After eating, Xiao Yuanyuan felt sleepy and wanted to take a nap, so Bai Qingnian took him back to his room.
In mid-October, the weather began to turn cold. Bai Qingnian was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he covered him with a small blanket with thin fleece.
Xiao Yuanyuan was sleeping very soundly. He lay down in a proper sleeping position for just a second, and then he started to move around like a twist of a doughnut, and the blanket was quickly kicked off.
Gu Xiefeng also came into the room to see him. Seeing that the little guy had his feet raised to his head and couldn't turn them back, he smiled and said, "Good boy, we have to send him to Shaolin Temple. This skill can't be wasted."
Bai Qingnian asked him quietly, "Why haven't you left yet?"
“…Are you sending me away now?”
The two of them left the room, not wanting to wake Xiao Yuanyuan.
"What were the results of the checkup at the hospital today?"
"I can't tell anything for now. Maybe it's just a slow growth. We need to observe it for a while."
"I think Yuanyuan is still very smart. It shouldn't be a big deal. He has learned a lot of new words in the past few days."
Thinking of Xiao Doudou, they both smiled at the same time.
After all, he is not anyone's biological child and has only been raised at home for a few days, but the little guy has this ability that can make people feel soft-hearted.
"Haven't you been very busy in the past few months? Why did you come back specially at noon today?"
"You have to come back no matter how busy you are. I insisted on temporarily adopting the child. I can't just ask you to look after him alone."
"Yuanyuan is very well behaved, and it's not tiring to take care of him." Bai Qingnian said, "But as for the adoption... I still don't think it's a good idea. The child is cute, but my parents will definitely not agree. If it backfires, they will hate you even more."
"Even if this hadn't happened, they wouldn't like me." Gu Xiefeng sighed, "Hey, tell me, your husband is handsome and rich, how come he is nothing in the eyes of your parents?"
"It's all your own fault." Bai Qingnian didn't say anything else, "Okay, go to work."
"A kiss."
Gu Xiefeng was a head taller than Bai Qingnian, and he reached out and pulled him into his arms, but before he could successfully kiss him, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Gu Xiefeng frowned, not wanting to care and wanting to continue caring about his family, but Bai Qingnian pushed him away and walked over to open the door.
As a result, what he feared came true. Just after he said that his parents would not agree, Bai Qingnian opened the door and saw his mother standing outside.
Bai Qingnian was surprised: "...Mom, why are you here?"
