Two months after Xiao Yuanbao's one-year-old celebration, everyone also held a one-year-old celebration for Xiao Xixi. Although she had experienced her sister's one-year-old celebration, Xiao Xixi still could not get rid of her social phobia.
When Xi's mother placed her in the middle of the one-year-old blanket, she was so scared that she didn't dare to move or tremble in the face of everyone's encouragement and gazes. Only in the end did she bite the bullet and grab a crayon.
The small crayons carry colorful blessings. As for whether Mei Zhixi can become a painter or illustrator in the future, it is too early for today's children and there is still a long way to go.
Mei Fang does not intend to make plans for the children based on the results of the Zhou ceremony. His educational policy is to let nature take its course and let the children work hard based on their interests.
I will only give them some guidance and support in the direction of their efforts based on my own experience.
He felt that this was enough. He had children to make them happy, so he should let them do their own things freely.
Anyway, money is something they don't need to earn.
Now little Yuanbao and Mei Xiaoyuan are happy every day, while little Xixi and Mei Zhixi are always quiet and pitiful.
However, everyone does not spoil Xiao Xixi less just because she is a little cold. Mei Fang spends equal time with her daughters.
He would play and have fun with Xiao Yuanbao, and also watch the sunset with Xiao Xixi.
A lively and cheerful eldest daughter and a cute and adorable little daughter can be said to be a perfect match.
To some extent, these two kids are very similar to the state of their mothers when Mei Fang first met them. They are simply cast from the same mold.
Xia Yuan and Xiao Yuanbao are needless to say, but Lin Youxi and Xiao Xixi are particularly similar.
However, despite this, there are huge differences between Xiao Xixi and her mother's childhood.
Because Xiao Xixi can feel the warmth of double maternal love.
The colorful summer has passed, and one falling leaf heralds the coming of autumn.
Today is the day for Mei Fang's family of five to go out for a picnic. They plan to go to the park to enjoy the autumn maple leaves together.
Xiao Xixi has just learned to walk steadily not long ago, and is still quite spoiled at home and always wants to be held. It will be difficult for her to be independent in kindergarten if she is too dependent on her parents. She still needs to see the outside world often so that she can grow up healthily.
Every time Xiao Yuanbao left home, he was very excited. He would keep jumping in Xia Yuan's arms when he got in the car, and would keep looking around curiously when he was put in the safety seat.
Little Xixi clung to Mei Fang tightly and refused to let go. It took Lin Youxi a long time to pull her down. After putting her in the safety seat and fastening her seat belt, she immediately panicked and started crying out of grievance.
Mei Fang's family's six-seater SUV has baby seats in the second and third rows, so Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi can each sit in a row to take care of the baby. This time when they went out for the autumn outing, Xia Yuan sat in a row with Xiao Xixi.
Seeing Xiao Xixi's aggrieved look, Xia Yuan was also very distressed. He touched Xiao Xixi's face and coaxed her with a rattle.
"I say, is it really okay for Xiaoxixi to be like this..."
Lin Youxi knew her biological daughter quite well, so she remained unmoved even when little Xixi showed such a pitiful expression.
"Don't worry, she's just like that... She's trying to trick you into hugging her again."
Lin Youxi was feeding little Yuanbao with the milk she had prepared before going out. Little Yuanbao was eating with gusto, looking as if he was so hungry that he was stretching his legs out.
"Well... I'll play some songs for her, maybe she'll feel more at ease!"
Mei Fang turned on the car music and started the car smoothly, with the lively music playing.
"No, why are you playing your own song again! You are such a conceited dad - I won't play this kind of song -"
Xia Yuan turned his head and found that Xiao Xixi had stopped pouting and looked calm.
"Ah, no way... Does this child really like his father so much?" Xia Yuan showed a rather shocked expression, while Mei Fang was quite proud.
"What's so strange about this? Isn't it the same for both of her mothers?"
Lin Youxi was feeding little Yuanbao peacefully. She listened to the mothers' conversation while slurping milk. Then she suddenly put away the pacifier and said:
"Puha... Aba... Dad, like it... mua!"
Xiao Yuanbao suddenly blew Mei Fang a kiss.
"Woo, woo, woo-woo—"
Mei Fang didn't expect that his eldest daughter could cheer for him so considerately, and he was immediately overjoyed, "I like Xiao Yuanbao too, mua!"
"Ahh! You guys are so sweet! I love you guys so much!"
Xia Yuan grumbled excitedly, but after the excitement, she felt a little aggrieved, "I also want to be spoiled by my dad—"
"Don't cry, Da Yuanbao, I'll give it to you too—mua!"
After Mei Fang coaxed Xia Yuan, he naturally did not forget to keep things nice.
"Of course, there are also our little Xixi and big Xibao, mua, mua—"
"Don't call me that. It's not cute at all." Lin Youxi reminded Mei Fang, "Drive carefully, Dad."
"Okay!"
Because they didn't have to go to work, Mei Fang chose a weekday when there were fewer people for the autumn outing. The traffic was smooth along the way, and the family listened to leisurely music along the way. Then Xia Yuanlin Youxi also hummed along. Although little Yuanbao could only utter a few words, he also babbled actively.
When the car stopped steadily in the parking lot of the park, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi got out of the car, each holding a baby, while Mei Fang unloaded the autumn outing equipment piece by piece from the trunk, the first and most important of which was the double stroller.
This kind of baby mobility tool, which was originally designed for families with twins, is just right for the special family of Mr. and Mrs. Mei Youyuan. After all, Xiao Yuanbao is just a sister who is less than two months older than Xiao Xixi, and it doesn't look out of place at all for the two little ones to fit in it.
Mei Fang had already used his money to purchase camping equipment in the park in advance, so he got out of the car with only a backpack and a camera.
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were even more relaxed, wearing casual travel clothes, carrying only a small shoulder bag, and holding their babies on the greenway in the park where fallen leaves were flying all over the ground. Mei Fang was following them and finding angles to capture the cute moments of her daughter and her husband.
"hia…hiahiahia!"
Little Yuanbao kept yelling in the scooter that she wanted to get off and walk on her own. She was only one and a half years old and trotted briskly on the greenway, like a leaping elf.
Xia Yuan ran all the way, panting, while Lin Youxi pushed the stroller and took a leisurely walk. From time to time, she looked back and put her hair together to give her husband a sweet and healing shot.
"Alright! You can't run around anymore, do you hear me, Xiao Yuanbao!"
"Um!"
Little Yuanbao grinned and nodded seriously at his mother.
"Come, hold your mother's hand, I will walk with you—"
Just as Xia Yuan reached out his hand to Xiao Yuanbao, the mischievous Xiao Yuanbao suddenly turned around and ran away, causing Xia Yuan to chase him for a short distance.
"Okay... Xiao Yuanbao, you are not a good boy. How could you lie to Mother Yuan?"
Whenever Xiao Yuanbao did something wrong, he would hold his cheek and make faces at Xia Yuan.
"Because... Mommy... is cute!"
“Ahhh!”
When Xia Yuan heard his daughter's praise, it was as if an arrow hit his chest. He almost knelt down and scratched his head, looking like he really couldn't do anything about her.
"Look, since our little Yuanbao is so sweet, I'll forgive you this time, okay!"
After praising his mother, Xiao Yuanbao started to move forward again, causing Xia Yuan to chase him again.
"Mom...Mom—"
At this time, Xiao Xixi suddenly raised her head and reached out to Lin Youxi. Seeing this, Lin Youxi closed the sunshade of the stroller and asked Xiao Xixi:
"What's wrong? Xiao Xixi..."
After greeting her mother, Xiao Xixi pointed to the maple tree beside the greenway. The fiery red color exuded an extremely charming charm. The maple leaves swayed in the wind, and the few maple leaves scattered on the branches seemed to be waving to them.
"You want to take a closer look?"
Xiao Xixi pursed her lips, thought about it, and then nodded vigorously.
This was a rare opportunity for her to express her thoughts. It turned out to be the right decision to bring Xiao Xixi out for the autumn outing...
Lin Youxi then put the bag in the stroller, opened her arms and picked up little Xixi from the stroller. After letting little Xixi hug her tightly, she slowly stood up and took her to the lowered branches of a maple tree nearby.
Xiao Xixi wanted to reach out and touch it, but her arms were too short to reach it. She stretched her hand forward very hard, but failed after several attempts.
Xiao Xixi seemed a little discouraged and could only look at her mother Lin Youxi with grievance. Lin Youxi also pouted and showed a helpless expression.
"Mom can't reach it either..."
"But don't worry, you can just rely on daddy at this time."
Lin Youxi and Xiao Xixi looked back at Mei Fang who was filming them, then raised Xiao Xixi's hand to greet Mei Fang, and whispered softly in Xiao Xixi's ear:
"Come on, try to ask dad for help. He loves you the most and will definitely help you."
Although this kind of thing is easy for Xiao Yuanbao who is teasing Yuan's mother, it is still quite difficult for Xiao Xixi who never expresses his ideas easily.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Xixi opened her eyes big and her lips slightly opened.
At this time, Xi's mother let go of her hand, but little Xixi didn't let go of her hand either.
She waved her little hand as if to greet Mei Fang who was holding the camera.
Then he gently uttered the word "baba".
"Dad, come—"
Xiao Xixi's efforts to express herself made father Mei Fang almost hold back tears, but as a father who stands tall and proud, he couldn't just shed tears like that.
So he tried hard to smile, trotted over to Xiao Xixi, and carefully took Xiao Xixi from Lin Youxi's hands.
"Come, look at what Daddy is doing... Daddy will lift you up high—"
Under Mei Fang's fatherly care, Xiao Xixi finally got her wish and touched the maple leaf on the branch.
A breeze blew by, and the maple leaf swayed and was about to fall. Just before it flew away, Xiao Xixi reached out and tightly grasped the maple leaf.
Lin Youxi looked at Xiao Xixi who was staring at the treasure she had obtained with her own hands, her eyes full of tenderness and love.
"You got what you wanted, Xiao Xixi..."
"Xiao Xixi is awesome!"
Mei Fang is also very excited about her daughter's growth.
The family came to the prefabricated green space in the park and found the camping spot that Mei Fang had prepared in advance. Snacks, drinks, square tables, lounge chairs, tents, canopies, bubble guns, kites, various toys, and even a double bed in the tent were all prepared.
Mei Fang played with bubbles with Xiao Yuanbao, while Xia Yuan, who was annoyed by her daughter, accompanied Lin Youxi to observe the interaction between Xiao Xixi and Feng Ye.
This was something she got herself, and she acted like she cherished it very much, touching the lines and veins on the maple leaf from time to time, then carefully picked it up to look at it, lying down to look at it, sitting to look at it, and in various postures, then she raised her head and talked to her mothers.
This maple leaf was something she treasured. The way she observed it carefully really touched Xia Yuan, making her very envious.
"Woo woo... Xiao Xixi is such an angel-like sweet baby."
Xia Yuan sipped the soda drink, "Little Yuanbao has already started bullying his mother at such a young age. What will happen in the future? Huhuhu—"
"But isn't it good that Xiao Yuanbao is very energetic? I also like the way Xiao Yuanbao plays with her dad."
In the distance, Mei Fang was waving his gun hard to create bubbles. Little Yuanbao looked at the colorful bubbles under the sunlight and jumped for joy. He kept going forward to touch the bubbles, and then jumped to use Mei Fang's gun to create bubbles together, feeling and enjoying the cool breath of autumn.
The interesting parent-child interaction lasted for 2 hours. Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi soon felt sleepy and soon both fell asleep in the stroller.
Little Yuanbao was lying in a spread-eagle position, smiling cheerfully as he slept, as if he was having an extremely sweet dream; while little Xixi was lying on her side, carefully holding Fengye in her arms.
The rest of the time was left to the adults.
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi leaned on Mei Fang's shoulders, eating fruits and looking at the sky, enjoying this rare relaxing and comfortable time without having to breastfeed.
Xia Yuan was eating bayberries while chatting with Mei Fang and Lin Youxi about family matters.
When she was about to find a place to spit out the pips, Mei Fang naturally reached out and let Xia Yuan spit the pips into her palm, then put them into the garbage bag in her arms.
At this moment, Lin Youxi was eating grapes in small bites and feeding them into Mei Fang's mouth in small bites.
"Are the grapes tasty, Alfon?"
"tasty."
"I'll give you something more delicious."
Lin Youxi peeled the grapes, then held a grape in his mouth, hugged Mei Fang and put the grape into Mei Fang's mouth, and then they began to make love unscrupulously.
Although Lin Youxi and Mei Fang had shown Xia Yuan this kind of operation many times, she was still stunned every time.
"Ah, don't you guys be more restrained when you're outside—"
Ah, there doesn't seem to be anyone here today...
I understand, it was all arranged by Afang!
So Xia Yuan waited patiently, waiting for the opportunity to join in.
The bond between the three of them has continued like this for a long time, and has never shown any signs of fading due to the passage of time.
Autumn is in full swing.
The maple leaves are red.
Today is another day where I am bullied by little lemon!
Are all high school girls nowadays so idle during class? Damn it!
By the way, do you like this kind of daily life as a baby? Why do I feel like fewer and fewer people are talking? No one loves me anymore. Wow—
