Little Birdy Pampering Manual

Chapter 32

Views:

The lively and active little baby didn't last long on the two-kilometer journey.

He played too vigorously during the day and now feels tired after jumping a few hundred meters.

Then he stretched out his hands to Gu Xiefeng to ask for a hug: "Daddy, hug me! I want a hug!"

Gu Xiefeng held him in his arms.

In fact, among the two fathers, it was Gu Xiefeng who hugged him more.

Gu Xiefeng was stronger, and his way of holding the baby was simpler and rougher. He would always grab Xiao Yuanyuan's coat with one hand, lift him up, and then let him sit on his arms.

Little Yuanyuan likes the feeling of being carried by her father like this, and she also likes to lie on Gu Xiefeng's shoulder the most.

Because Mr. Gu has broad and solid shoulders, he gives the little baby a sense of security.

The street lights on both sides were bright, and occasionally other people passed by.

The cold road on the winter night was not too deserted.

He leaned on Gu Xiefeng's shoulder, yawned, and then just looked at Bai Qingnian.

Xiao Yuanyuan felt that this was really a blessing. Although the weather was very cold, he had his beloved father by his side.

But Gu Xiefeng couldn't suppress the devil in his heart even when he held the child.

He was walking normally, but suddenly he ran forward several steps, putting some distance between himself and Bai Qingnian.

Gu Xiefeng teased the child: "We ran away secretly."

Bai Qingnian was helpless but also very cooperative, quickening his pace: "You guys go slower."

Gu Xiefeng waited until Bai Qingnian was about to catch up, then ran a few steps, and repeated this process. Bai Qingnian kept cooperating, pretending that he couldn't keep up with them and took small steps to catch up.

Little Yuanyuan didn't know that the parents were cooperating with him to play, and thought that Bai Qingnian really couldn't catch up, so he stretched out his little hand to pull him.

But even though he was shaking a lot while running, Bai Qingnian never fell behind. He was extremely happy and excited.

We played and had fun until we reached the foot of the mountain.

Because it was the Gregorian New Year's Eve, there was a lively and festive atmosphere. The night market was bustling with people, and the small stalls and shops were doing brisk business.

It was the first time for Xiao Yuanyuan to come to such a place: "Wow! There are so many people!"

For young babies, seeing a lot of people is a surprising thing.

"Let's go in and buy some fried chicken that Yuanyuan loves."

"okay!"

The place was filled with the aroma of various foods, not just fried chicken. Xiao Yuanyuan wanted to try all the delicious food inside.

Not long after entering, I met the father and son of the Gong family.

When they returned to the hotel in the afternoon, the Gong family was still playing outside. They didn't expect that they arrived here earlier than them.

Gong Wangheng wore a silver down jacket, with his naturally curly hair hanging down, and a black mask, looking a bit like a little star.

Gu Xiefeng asked: "When did you come down?"

Gong Suicheng embraced his son and said, "We just arrived not long ago, there are quite a lot of people here. Do you have a seat? Do you want to sit with us?"

"OK."

There is a dining and rest area here, which is almost full of people.

They were lucky, as there was an empty seat when they first arrived, which was occupied by Zhong Anjia.

Bai Qingnian also sat down holding Xiao Yuanyuan.

After walking two kilometers, he felt a little tired, so he gave the task of buying food to Gu Xiefeng.

Zhong Anjia saw the little dinosaur Yuanyuan and laughed, "Yuanyuan has so many styles. During the day, he was a little bear, and now he is a little dinosaur?"

Little Yuanyuan nodded and answered seriously: "Yes! Yuanyuan is the ever-changing Yuanyuan!"

No one knew where he learned this phrase, but he used it just right and both adults were amused by him.

"So what are you going to do tomorrow?"

Xiao Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "... Tomorrow, I don't know."

Zhong Anjia casually said, "Do you want to make a bird wish tomorrow?"

Xiao Yuanyuan stiffened.

He is not yet at the level where he can respond flexibly and randomly to such problems.

This is his little secret and must not be discovered by anyone.

When Zhong Anjia asked him this, he quickly denied it: "No! Yuanyuan is not a bird!"

It was lively here, so his sudden loud voice didn't seem abrupt, and the adults didn't take it seriously. Zhong Anjia simply thought that he just didn't like birds.

"Why? Yuanyuan doesn't like birds?"

Of course I like it. He is just a little bird, so why not like him

"... because, because..." But he couldn't tell the reason, so he could only reluctantly admit, "Well... Yuanyuan doesn't like it..."

Bai Qingnian listened, somewhat confused.

When he went to a pet store some time ago, he saw six little birds and wanted them all.

Later, the little cockatiel he bought home disappeared, and he cried very sadly. How come he doesn’t like it anymore

But after thinking about the reasons, the logic seems to make sense.

Bai Qingnian said, "I bought him a little bird before, but it flew away because I didn't take good care of it. He was very sad at the time. I guess that's why he doesn't like it anymore now."

Sometimes what is fake is more real than what is real.

Bai Qingnian not only convinced himself, but also convinced Zhong Anjia: "Is that so? That's quite sad."

"Our family may not be suitable for raising flying ones. This is the second one that has flown."

"No cage?"

"It's closed, but they all flew away for no apparent reason."

Thinking of the pink and tender little parrot, Bai Qingnian still felt sorry: "The first little parrot was quite pretty, with pink feathers. I kept it for a few days, and then it disappeared without a trace."

Xiao Yuanyuan's heart was beating like a drum as he listened to this.

Can you please stop talking about birds? He's so nervous.

When Bai Qingnian said that it was not suitable to keep flying animals at home, he almost retorted - no, in fact, the pretty little bird did not fly away, it was right next to him, and now it was even prettier.

I tried my best to hold it in.

Although he was already a registered little bird, he did not dare to reveal his true identity.

The big crane did not tell him whether he could reveal his identity now.

It has disappeared for a long time. The last time Xiao Yuanyuan wanted to summon it, the giant crane never showed up.

Fortunately, Gu Xiefeng and Gong Suicheng came over quickly with some delicious food.

All the shops are doing brisk business; large portions of fried chicken, barbecued meat, teppanyaki, and all kinds of grilled skewers are all ready and smell the heavenly aroma.

There are several late-night snack stalls nearby. The Gong family ordered a few dishes just now, and they are coming up one by one.

Gong Wangheng was arranged to sit next to Xiao Yuanyuan.

Adults have their own willfulness and always think that children should sit with other children.

But Gong Wangheng didn't care. He was already hungry. He sat down, pulled down his mask, and started eating fried noodles.

Xiao Yuanyuan's attention was completely attracted by the fried chicken. He couldn't wait to stretch out his hand to get it before Gu Xiefeng sat down. After getting it, he began to eat it quietly.

The crispy coating of the fried chicken is covered with a sweet sauce. I have only eaten fried chicken once before, and this time it was a new flavor. I was amazed at the first bite, my eyes lit up, and soon my mouth was full of sauce, and my lips were all over it.

These things are greasy and have a heavy taste. They don’t actually have much nutritional value, but they taste good and are loved by both adults and children.

The outer covering was quickly eaten up by little Yuanyuan, revealing a chicken leg inside, which was already well-seasoned. The little baby couldn't stop eating it.

He finished a chicken leg with a few smacking sounds, and secretly reached out his little hand to grab the second piece of fried chicken.

Bai Qingnian knew that this little darling ate quickly, but this was too fast: "Yuanyuan can only eat two pieces, it's not good to eat too much."

With the fried chicken in his hand, Xiao Yuanyuan could no longer hear clearly. He just nodded blankly and continued to eat it.

Mr. Bai now had a trick to deal with him. Fearing that he would cheat and ask for a third piece, he quickly divided the remaining fried chicken among everyone.

When little Yuanyuan finished the second piece by sucking on his fingers and looked up, he saw that his beloved fried chicken was gone, and he could only feel disappointed - he couldn't grab the one in his father's bowl, that was not allowed.

Bai Qingnian saw that he had finished eating, so he wiped his mouth first, then took out Xiao Yuanyuan's eating equipment from his pocket and scooped a bowl of fried rice: "Come on, Yuanyuan, eat."

The fried chicken was good and the fried rice was also good. Xiao Yuanyuan took the spoon and started eating.

I just don't eat seriously.

His eyes wandered and finally landed on Gong Wangheng's bowl.

Xiao Yuanyuan leaned forward and called out softly, "Brother..."

Gong Wangheng looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"... I want to eat brother's..." The little baby was a little embarrassed, "Brother, give it to me, have a bite, okay, ah-"

But after saying that, he opened his mouth wide and waited for Gong Wangheng to feed him.

Gong Wangheng: “…”

Is he a bird? His mouth is so wide open.

But he still picked up a few noodles, rolled them up, and put them into Xiao Yuanyuan's mouth.

Xiao Yuanyuan ate it and was very satisfied. His brother’s fried noodles were indeed delicious.

Just now the fragrance went straight to his nose, and he had been watching it furtively for a long time.

After eating Gong Wangheng's fried noodles, Xiao Yuanyuan also scooped a spoonful of fried rice and handed it over: "Brother, eat too, mine..."

"I will not eat."

Xiao Yuanyuan refused to give up and raised the spoon with great effort: "Brother, eat..."

It looks like it's not easy to lift these short arms.

Gong Wangheng looked at his determined eyes, and finally lowered his head to eat: "Yes, I ate it."

Little Yuanyuan smiled, probably thinking it was fun to share food this way, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Gong Wangheng's answer was perfunctory: "It's delicious."

But Xiao Yuanyuan couldn't hear it: "Yuanyuan, I think it's delicious too!"

The two families had their meal in a harmonious atmosphere and then went back home together.

The adults prepared to play cards, so they went to the Gong family's suite.

Therefore, the task of taking care of Xiao Yuanyuan was given to Gong Wangheng. They were arranged in the living room, where there was a TV and a large and soft lazy sofa.

Zhong Anjia brought them a quilt and said to Gong Wangheng, "Thank you for taking care of your brother."

Gong Wangheng looked at the little soft girl beside him and said, "It's okay, you guys can play."

The tone is very calm and mature.

"Would you like me to get you some snacks?"

Xiao Yuanyuan was excited when she heard about snacks, but Gong Wangheng said first: "No, I ate enough at night. Besides, I can't digest it and it's easy to get cavities."

Xiao Yuanyuan listened to Brother Hengheng's tone and content and didn't dare to say anything.

"Well, we're right next door. If your brother wants to sleep, you can tell us."

"Got it, you guys play your own game."

Gong Wangheng didn't think that taking care of Xiao Yuanyuan was a hassle. He let him stay by his side and wrapped him with a quilt.

The cartoon "Tom and Jerry" was playing on TV.

Xiao Yuanyuan watched it with great interest, and Gong Wangheng also liked it very much.

This is one of the few cartoons he likes and he can watch it patiently episode by episode.

After playing a few episodes, he saw Xiaoyuanyuan yawning beside him: "Are you going to sleep?"

Little Yuanyuan quickly shook her head and opened her eyes wide: "... No, Yuanyuan is not sleepy."

Actually, I'm sleepy.

He had used up too much energy today. Although it was not yet time for bed, the baby parrot was about to be knocked down by sleepiness.

He rubbed against Gong Wangheng again and said, "Brother, hug me."

When coaxing him to sleep, his father usually holds him in his arms.

But Gong Wangheng didn't know, nor was he willing, so he refused simply: "No."

"Why?"

For Gong Wangheng, having him next to her was already the limit; a hug was impossible.

"I don't want to hug you."

"Why, don't you want to make a wish?"

"No reason."

"Why, there is no reason?"

"… "

"why?"

"… "

A hundred thousand whys

Gong Wangheng had no choice but to open his arms and hold Xiao Yuanyuan in his arms.

"Okay, I'll hold you now. Stop talking."

Xiaoyuanyuan nodded: "Oh."

Although he still had doubts in his mind, why Brother Hengheng was so strange, he just said he didn't want to hug him, but now he hugged him again.

But he was really sleepy, and he became even sleepier after being held in his brother's arms.

He is a clingy and delicate little parrot.

I am used to falling asleep in my father's arms. Now that my brother is next to me, I have to lean on him.

My brother’s chest is not as broad and strong as my father’s. It’s much smaller, but it’s not bad either.

After a while, the baby parrot fell asleep.

Gong Wangheng resisted being hugged at first, but accepted it when he was really hugged.

Xiao Yuanyuan's body was soft and hot. Hidden in the quilt, he felt like he was holding a human-shaped hot water bottle to warm his hands and body.

The child, who has always been strict and self-disciplined, also began to slack off.

She relaxed her body and leaned against her warm brother.

After a while, he became confused and fell asleep.

Gu Xiefeng and Bai Qingnian in the next room didn't plan to play for too long. When it was Xiao Yuanyuan's bedtime, they took him back home.

When I came out at the appointed time, I saw two children sleeping together.

At first, Xiao Yuanyuan was not found, and only Gong Wangheng’s head was seen sticking out.

I almost thought the little guy was missing, but there was a movement under the quilt - the adults gently lifted it up and found that little Yuanyuan was hiding inside, with his whole body nestled in Gong Wangheng's arms.

The scene was indescribably warm and loving, as if they were really brothers, with the reliable elder brother taking the naughty younger brother to sleep.

Little Yuanyuan was sleeping very soundly. When his parents took him home, he didn’t even notice it, let alone wake up.

I didn’t have any dreams the whole night and slept until noon the next day.

—It’s time to eat. Hunger is the best alarm clock for the little parrot. It opens its eyes as soon as it gets hungry.

Gu Xiefeng has already gone out.

I was mainly taking care of the kids yesterday and didn't have much fun. This morning I made an appointment with Gong Suicheng to go out and do something exciting.

So when Xiao Yuanyuan woke up, she only saw Bai Qingnian.

Bai Qingnian was not as passionate about skiing as Gu Xiefeng. Since it was a rare opportunity for him to come out, he decided to let Gu Xiefeng go free and he would stay to look after the little baby.

Xiao Yuanyuan is really too tired.

It was rare for him to get up, but he felt a little listless. He sat on the bed, yawned, and talked to Bai Qingnian tiredly: "Good morning, Dad. I'm so sleepy..."

Bai Qingnian touched his little face and didn't let him sleep any more: "Then let's go eat first, okay? After you're full, you can come back and sleep."

Xiao Yuanyuan nodded, this was exactly what he meant.

"Come, Dad will help you get dressed."

The baby hasn't learned to dress himself yet.

Human cub clothes are too difficult for him to wear. He can't put them on properly by himself. He can't tell the sleeves and collar of a sweater, and he can't tell the front and back of a pair of pants. Everything looks so messy when he puts them on.

"I want to wear yesterday's little dinosaur."

He likes the long tail on the hem of his clothes and thinks it looks very nice.

"Okay, I'll wear the little dinosaur today too."

"Wait a minute, I need to eat."

"Let's get dressed and go eat."

"I want two bowls of rice for one person."

Bai Qingnian couldn't help but smile dotingly: "Okay, Yuanyuan should eat more and grow up quickly."

I put on my inner clothes and was about to put on my coat when my mother called me.

Or a video call.

Bai Qingnian was in a panic when he saw it.

After being with Gu Xiefeng for several years, even though they now have a child, he still cannot deal with Gu Xiefeng's mother well.

Bai Qingnian pressed the answer button, and there was a pause of one or two seconds before the picture became clear.

Xiao Yuanyuan sat in Bai Qingnian's arms, and Bai Qingnian pointed the camera directly at him.

When Mother Gu saw Little Yuanyuan, she smiled first: "Yuanyuan."

It took Xiao Yuanyuan a while to recognize her, but she was still unsure: "... Grandma?"

"What's wrong? You don't recognize grandma so soon?"

Little Yuanyuan was horrified: "... Grandma, how did you get into Dad's phone?"

This sentence made Gu's mother and Bai Qingnian laugh.

Bai Qingnian explained to him that it was not that grandma had run into the phone, but that grandma was at home and was using the phone to video call him.

Little Yuanyuan seemed to understand, but it would have been better if grandma hadn’t run into the phone. It was too scary and almost scared the baby to death.

Mother Gu asked, "Where's Xiefeng? Why doesn't he answer the phone?"

Bai Qingnian quickly replied: "He went skiing alone today."

"Did this kid go play something dangerous again?"

Bai Qingnian smiled awkwardly. It was not a good idea to answer, nor was it a good idea not to answer.

"Have you forgotten about the broken bones from the fall last time? This kid is really..." Mother Gu was dissatisfied, "You should also persuade him. He is not young anymore, and he is not a child anymore. Why does he keep playing these things all day long?"

This is a generation gap that is difficult to explain.

The old man couldn't understand Gu Xiefeng's pursuit and love for this kind of sports, so Bai Qingnian had no choice but to say, "Well, I understand. I will persuade him."

This is what happens every time I talk to Gu’s mother.

Bai Qingnian was like an elementary school student answering his teacher's questions. Since Gu's mother didn't say anything, he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't know what to say to end the call early.

Until the little Yuanyuan in my arms called out, "Grandma!"

Mother Gu answered him: "What's wrong, Yuanyuan?"

Little Yuanyuan said seriously: "Grandma, Yuanyuan wants to go, it's time to eat!"

Mother Gu always smiled at him: "Are you going to eat?"

"Yeah! Yuanyuan is hungry and wants to eat!"

"Okay, then go eat."

"Grandma wants to eat too!"

Gu's mother was very fond of the little one's tricks: "Okay, Yuanyuan is really good. By the way, grandma will say a few words to your father."

Bai Qingnian was startled: "I'm listening, go ahead."

"After you come back, please take some time to come over. The New Year is coming soon, and I have some things to tell you."

New Year. Accountability.

When these two words are put together, it's unclear what the meaning is, whether good or bad.

Bai Qingnian froze: "...Okay, I understand."

"Remember to tell Xie Feng that I originally came to him for this matter." Mother Gu said, "Don't be nervous. I didn't call you here for any bad reasons."

After hearing this, Bai Qingnian became even more nervous.

Is it for some good thing

But apart from officially acknowledging that he and Gu Xiefeng were together, there seemed to be nothing else good for him.

Xiao Yuanyuan could sense Bai Qingnian's mood changes. She felt that he was nervous, so she interrupted and suggested going to have dinner.

Now Bai Qingnian was nervous again, so he interrupted again: "Grandma, what's the matter?"

Mother Gu replied: "Want to know?"

"Well, tell me too, wish it!"

"You'll know when Yuanyuan comes to see grandma next time. It's good news."

The young baby actually has no concept of good news or bad news, but when Bai Qingnian listened, his heart beat faster - Gu's mother admitted that it was good news, could it be what he thought

"Okay, Yuanyuan, go eat. See you later."

"See you later, grandma!"

Gu's mother hung up the call.

Bai Qingnian was still a little confused, afraid that he had misunderstood and dared not let his emotions get too excited, but his body was not under his control at all. He only regretted that Gu Xiefeng was not here. If he was here, he would definitely know what Gu's mother wanted to say.

He sat there blankly for quite a while, so long that Xiao Yuanyuan couldn't help but urge him: "Dad! Eat! Let's eat!"

Only then did he quickly come back to his senses and continue to put clothes on Xiao Yuanyuan.

“… Dad, are you happy?”

Xiao Yuanyuan felt that Bai Qingnian was in a good mood and couldn't help but ask.

Why is my dad, who was so nervous before, in a good mood now

The adults were really strange and the little parrot was confused.

"Dad is happy. He is happy to see Yuanyuan." Bai Qingnian thought that his happiness was reflected on his face. "Okay, brush your teeth and wash your face first, then we will go eat."

They had lunch at the hotel, and the menu was ordered for them by Gu Xiefeng before he went out.

The dishes are rich and varied.

There were king crabs and lobsters that Xiao Yuanyuan had never eaten before. Even the egg custard was exquisite and sprinkled with matsutake mushrooms.

But Xiao Yuanyuan, who is almost not picky about food, never eats eggs.

He can eat chicken, duck, cake and pudding, but he can't eat eggs.

No matter how the eggs were cooked, he would not eat them or even look at them.

The egg custard was fresh and tender. Bai Qingnian was very satisfied with it after taking one bite. He wanted Xiao Yuanyuan to have a taste: "Yuanyuan, this is really delicious. Do you want to have a taste?"

Xiao Yuanyuan was holding the crab legs and eating the meat. It was the first time for him to eat such a big crab, and it was full of meat. Xiao Yuanyuan was very satisfied.

But when he heard Bai Qingnian's words, he immediately shook his head.

Before he even swallowed the food in his mouth, he mumbled, "No, I won't eat it."

"Why can't I eat it? This egg custard is really delicious. Yuanyuan will definitely like it."

Little Yuanyuan still shook her head: "Yuyuan, don't eat it."

He was hatched from eggs, how could he eat eggs? This would be too cruel for the little baby parrot.

Bai Qingnian saw that he was determined and couldn't force him: "Then Yuanyuan should eat more of other things."

"Um!"

He was eating very hard.

Bai Qingnian continued to eat the egg custard while sending a message to Gu Xiefeng with one hand. He didn't expect him to reply immediately, but he couldn't help but want to tell him what Gu's mother said right away.

I took a quick look at the custard before putting it into my mouth and saw a soft pink feather stuck to it.

It’s this feather again.

It has happened so many times that it can no longer be described as a coincidence.

Subconsciously, I cast my eyes on Xiao Yuanyuan, but the little guy didn't show any abnormality and was still happily eating crab meat.

This is very strange. It's freezing and snowy outside and there are no birds inside. Where did the feathers come from

The author has something to say: Xiao Yuanyuan was actually very panicked inside

It's winter now, and losing a few strands of hair is uncontrollable
