People are always greedy. Lu Yinbing was still there, sighing, "There are not many people here today. It's okay. I still have a lot of relatives at home. I can blackmail them later."
Xia Yitong: “…”
You also know that this is "blackmail".
The child was lying in the stroller. He was only about a month old. His eyebrows and hair had not grown very clearly. He only had some light-colored hair, and the outline of his facial features could be vaguely seen. Of course, the twenty or so godmothers could not all surround him. They came in order. A few stood in front, looking in from head to head, with surprise in their eyes from time to time.
Most of them are unmarried. Some married ones, such as Lai Ying, have no children. The child is from the same-sex couple Lu Xia, who is the first couple in their circle. Especially Lu Yinbing's friend. Lu Yinbing is still a child, very jumpy and arrogant. Suddenly, she had a baby at the speed of a rocket. One was not enough, so she had two.
One can only sigh: Lu Yinbing is worthy of his name, he will never play by the rules.
The old classic line comes again: "This child looks exactly like you two, with thick eyebrows and big eyes."
Xia Yitong pursed her lips modestly, with a smile in her eyes.
Lu Yinbing couldn't stop smiling.
I finally understand why they show it on TV. Every time there's such an occasion, someone will praise the child like this, and then the child's parents will laugh like idiots, even if the child has no eyebrows at all, so how can he have thick eyebrows? He spends 23 hours out of 24 hours sleeping except for eating and crying, so how can he have big eyes
But people just want to praise like this, for good luck or to please the owner. Whatever the reason, Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong, the new mothers, are extremely happy.
Lu Yinbing even put his hands on his hips and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing: "That's right, don't you see whose genes these are."
Laiying argued with her: "Xia Yitong's, aren't your genes annoying?"
It was a rare day when Lu Yinbing's maternal love overflowed. She was too lazy to argue with her and waved her hand generously, "No matter whose it is, they are all mine, my own."
Do you think that's enough? Not enough, she also added a taunt: "Do you have it? Do you have it? Do you have it?"
The shadow choked.
She didn't. More than a year ago, when Lu Yinbing revealed to her the big plan to subvert the entertainment industry, Laiying was a little moved by her. Since her artistic life is likely to last for so long, it is time to put having a child on the agenda. She went home and mentioned this to her husband Zhao Jun. Although Zhao Jun tried his best to suppress it, he couldn't hide the ecstasy between his eyebrows. The concealment of ordinary people is as transparent as in front of Laiying, a big movie queen. Laiying decided that after finishing the filming of the movie at hand, she would officially enter the stage of preparing for pregnancy.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. Due to various reasons, the start time of the film was delayed again and again. Her own professional ethics did not allow her to abandon the crew and directly pursue her personal life. The film was delayed, and she was delayed too. It was delayed for more than half a year. Then she reorganized the crew and started filming. It was not until the last two months that she sorted out everything.
Preparing for pregnancy is not that fast, so there has been no movement yet, which was severely ridiculed by Lu Yinbing, who already has a baby.
But she couldn't refute anything.
This feeling is terrible.
Lai Ying curled her lips and ignored Lu Yinbing. She bent down and picked up a delicate and pretty baby from the stroller. The baby's genes were indeed strong. His skin was whiter than any baby she had ever seen, and his eyelashes were extremely long, like two black fans that were opened with a brush.
Lu Yinbing's voice suddenly softened: "Be careful."
"I know." Laiying's voice also softened unconsciously. She recalled all the ways she had seen mothers hold their babies, one hand supporting the little head, the other hand supporting the butt through the swaddling clothes, then burying her face in the child and sniffing hard, she sighed with satisfaction, "What a milky smell."
Others also came up to smell it, and they all had satisfied looks on their faces. It smelled so good.
Lu Yinbing became proud again, "Really?"
I don’t know what she is proud of, but she is proud of it.
Laiying looked at her with disdain: "I praised the child, not you."
Lu Yinbing laughed loudly: "No matter, it's my child, my own." He continued to mock: "Do you have it? Do you have it? Do you have it? You are just jealous."
Laiying: “…”
No matter what Lai Ying praised, Lu Yinbing could feel a strong sense of pride and accomplishment, which even surpassed the many trophies she had won at home. Then Lai Ying refuted, and Lu Yinbing puffed out her chest and said firmly: "No matter what, my child, my own, you are just jealous of me."
Lu Yinbing has been completely trapped and cannot extricate himself.
Xia Yitong couldn't bear to watch it directly.
The fourth childhood friend secretly pulled Xia Yitong's shoulder and asked worriedly, "Is this okay, Teacher Lu?"
Xia Yitong explained awkwardly: "It will be fine after this period of time."
Lu Yinbing is completely exhausted, and I'm afraid this state will continue for a long time, Xia Yitong said in her heart. In the previous month abroad, the two of them had little contact with people, and most of the time they were at home taking care of the children. They had no place to show off even if they wanted to. Now that they are back in China, friends and relatives are here, it's like letting a tiger back into the mountains, and there is a lot of chaos.
"Open her eyes, open her eyes, open her eyes! Is she waking up?" There was a cry of surprise, and the little baby in Laiying's arms actually opened her ignorant eyes. Her big black eyes rolled around, and she looked at several faces that were still very unfamiliar to her without any fear.
Everyone held their breath and stared at this overly beautiful baby.
She was not frightened by such concentrated attention, but she opened her mouth, which had not yet grown teeth, and began to giggle with a childish hum.
This smile is extremely lethal.
All of a sudden, these big men who were used to big scenes and could call the wind and rain in the martial arts world were killed. Laiying, as the person closest to the child, almost fell to the ground because of cuteness.
"This child will definitely be prettier than her mother when she grows up."
"She's so attractive at such a young age, she'll be amazing when she grows up."
“I think she has dimples.”
"My face is full of flesh, luckily you can see the dimples."
"So I think dimples can increase your charm."
"Old Lu, do you mind a baby marriage? I'm getting married this year and having a baby next year. How about we become in-laws? It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."
Then the scene became chaotic.
"Fuck, is there anyone like you? The child is so young, and you are simply a beast! Old Lu, I have a nephew, he is three years old, quite handsome, I have a photo, would you like to consider him?"
"I have a nephew... He is very handsome..."
"I have a distant cousin... He's very handsome..."
"I have a... so handsome..."
"I also have a..."
"Stop arguing!" Laiying shouted, and under everyone's eager gaze, he said calmly: "You have all missed the point."
Everyone: “What’s the point?”
Laiying: "It's like this, I have a niece..."
Everyone: “Go!”
Laiying was sprayed with saliva in the face.
Before that happened, Xia Yitong had already taken the child away to avoid harming innocent people.
Everyone was talking nonsense in the lively atmosphere. Everyone knew it was a joke, so they analyzed the advantages of choosing their own relatives or unborn children, as if Lu and Xia's daughter had reached marriageable age and could choose someone to marry right away.
Lu Yinbing kept rejecting each of the accusations one by one, engaging in a verbal battle, looking very domineering, just like the father-in-law on TV who always finds fault with his son-in-law.
Xia Yitong was always quiet in such crowded occasions. She just kissed her daughter's rosy cheek and smiled happily. An assumption emerged in her mind: When the child really grows up to this age and has a certain kind of person, Lu Yinbing will be like this, right? No, it is more likely that she will be like her family, completely free to let her do whatever she wants, only giving suggestions and not interfering. That's how she got through it.
Thinking about the little baby in the cradle growing up day by day, Xia Yitong couldn't help but feel indescribable melancholy like every parent in the world. She knew that time passed very quickly, just like she was thirty years old before she knew it, how long would twenty years be
Lu Yinbing not far away was still full of energy. Even though she had a lover and a child, she was still the same Lu Yinbing. This was just a stage in her life, no different from every other day. All she could do was keep moving forward and enjoy it. This was what Lu Yinbing told her.
Xia Yitong raised her hand and touched the child's pink cheek, tightened her arms, and turned her gaze back to Lu Yinbing. This time there was no hesitation or melancholy in her expression, only determination and love.
She has a brand new life. Next, Teacher Lu and children, please give her your guidance.
Lu Yinbing finally felt thirsty and ran to the kitchen to get some water. Others swarmed over there and swarmed back. Lu Yinbing took some time to come over to see the baby, and coincidentally, the child who had just been giggling suddenly burst into tears.
Lu Yinbing: “…”
Laiying was extremely happy to have his revenge, and he clapped his hands and laughed, "You really are worthy of being my relative."
Xia Yitong hugged the child and said to Lu Yinbing while coaxing him, "Maybe he's hungry. Go make some milk powder."
Lu Yinbing glared at her and ignored her. She ran upstairs and came down soon with a can of milk powder and a bottle. The new mother looked anxious: "What should I do if there is no hot water? I just drank it all."
Everyone who just drank up the hot water: "..."
The child kept crying, and Xia Yitong had no choice but to say, "I have to cook it now, and then you can rinse it after it cools down."
You cannot use boiling water to mix milk powder, not to mention whether it will destroy the nutrients in the milk powder. Giving milk powder mixed with boiling water to children to drink means there is either a deep hatred or a great hatred.
Lu Yinbing rushed into the kitchen. The others, who had drunk the water used to make milk powder for their children, felt uncomfortable and rushed over as well. It would be too late to wait for the water to cool down naturally, so after boiling the water, they divided the work among themselves. Each of them took two cups and poured them back and forth, using the most clumsy method to cool the water down. There seemed to be some kind of speed race between them, and their hands were switching in the air faster and faster. In the end, Laiying was the first to complete the task and handed over the warm water: "Alright."
First, pour in warm water according to the proportion, scoop three level spoons of milk powder, and shake the bottle horizontally to mix it well. Although Lu Yinbing's movements were not fast, each movement was done very accurately, and his eyes were fixed on the scale line on the bottle, not more, not less, and after everything was done, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she trotted out anxiously: "Here it comes, baby, don't cry, mommy is here."
Everyone behind him looked as if they had seen a ghost. After all, there was still trace of the smug Lu Yinbing just now. She had been so proud of other things before. But now, she was so focused on making milk powder as if she was treating some grand plan. It was really unimaginable.
Is this Lu Yinbing who exudes a strong maternal glow really the arrogant Lu Yinbing who they have known for more than ten or twenty years and who is the boss and the second in command
Lu Yinbing took a sip to test the temperature first. When she felt it was not too hot, she slowly handed the pacifier to the crying baby's mouth. Sure enough, the baby refused to eat. She gave the bottle to Xia Yitong, and Xia Yitong fed the baby, and the baby opened his mouth.
Lu Yinbing was helpless, so she made a face at the baby, pulled the corners of her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and rolled her eyes.
The baby pouted, and Xia Yitong said softly, "Turn around." Then she said angrily, "Isn't it childish?"
Lu Yinbing turned around and the baby started sucking milk.
After drinking more than half of the milk, the baby tilted his head back and used his tongue to push the nipple out. Xia Yitong said, "You can turn it back now."
Lu Yinbing turned around and saw that the little one was sleeping soundly again after having eaten and drunk enough. Lu Yinbing rubbed her cheek with the back of her hand and kissed her lovingly. Xia Yitong handed her the bottle with a little bit of milk left. Lu Yinbing didn't care and just sucked it up.
Xia Yitong glanced at Lu Yinbing and said nothing. Lu Yinbing smiled back at her.
When an adult is responsible for drinking up the milk left by a child, they will unscrew the bottle and pour it directly into their mouths. But Lu Yinbing doesn't do that. She just wants to drink it one sip at a time like a baby of a few months old.
Xia Yitong asked her once, and the reason she gave was that since she had a child, in order to avoid being ignored, she had to be a baby. She couldn't act like a baby and make trouble, so she could only settle for drinking milk like a baby.
This reason seems illogical, but in fact Xia Yitong can't help but look at her more every time she sees her. In this regard, it has to be said that Lu Yinbing's magical brain circuit still produced a little effect.
The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment: "!!!"
Things have changed. They have really changed.
Now is the era when Tian is the eldest, his wife is the second, the children are the third, and Lu Yinbing is the fourth.
A brand new wife-slave and daughter-slave Lu Yinbing is about to come out. What's more, Lu Yinbing is enjoying it. Looking at the way she drinks milk, she is much more skilled than making milk powder.
Lu Yinbing pretended to smell himself and said, "I feel like I have a milky scent too. Can you guys smell it?"
Laiying refused expressionlessly: "I don't want to smell it, thank you."
After solving the child's food problem, Lu Yinbing returned to normal: "If you are jealous, just say it. Your eyes almost popped out when I was feeding the child milk."
Laiying roared, "Fuck you, I was shocked. You know what I was shocked about? Their eyeballs all popped out of their heads."
"Yes, so they are all jealous of me." Lu Yinbing shrugged and said so shamelessly.
Laiying gritted his teeth and looked at everyone: "Can you tolerate this?"
Everyone was stunned, still thinking about what Lu Yinbing said before. What does it mean that everyone is jealous of her? How can this guy be so shameless after having a child? Do you know what it means to teach by example? She is now a mother, and she is afraid that she will have to teach two old hands in the future.
For the sake of their goddaughter's physical and mental health, they fought hard. I don't know who took the lead in rising up: "Go ahead, beat her up."
So Lu Yinbing was trapped in a corner of the sofa and beaten up.
Xia Yitong put her second daughter back into the cradle, and turned the cradle around so that they were facing away from their mother who was being "beaten". Xia Yitong squatted down, and regardless of whether the children in the cradle could understand or not, she said softly: "Although your mommy is a little lacking sometimes, she is still very gentle most of the time. She loves you very much, and you should love her too."
The eldest daughter moved her hands in her sleep, as if responding to her.
As for the second daughter? She had just fallen asleep, so it was a bit difficult for her to respond. Xia Yitong took her second daughter's hand, shook her up and down, and said in a childish voice: "Okay, Mom."
Xia Yitong: "Okay, it's a deal."
Xia Yitong and the two children happily reached the agreement when they were still in their infancy and unaware.
Lu Yinbing got out from under the crowd's beating, fighting ten people alone, punching vigorously. Laiying and several others rushed forward and in a blink of an eye, they overwhelmed Lu Yinbing again. They laughed and made a scene full of tension in Xia Yitong's eyes.
Xia Yitong was still half-crouching beside the cradle, mumbling to herself, "Your mommy is quite skilled. She has practiced swordplay, boxing, dancing, curling... She knows everything. She's an excellent actress. What is an actor? An actor is... You'll know when you grow up. Anyway, she's very good, um... very good."
"I was a little worried that you would take away her love for me, but now it seems that she is more worried about me. Even though I have two little ones like you now, I still love her the most, just like she loves me."
"But you don't have to be jealous. Have you seen your mommy? She is so happy now, having fun with her friends. That's all because of you. You came into this world with everyone's expectations. You must grow up safely and happily."
Xia Yitong suddenly paused: "No more talking, if you continue your mommy's condition will be bad."
Xia Yitong straightened up, pushed through the crowd and pulled Lu Yinbing out. Lu Yinbing gathered her hair and, as if she had endless energy, she skipped to the cradle and poked the baby's face. Before she passed by, she did not forget to rub Xia Yitong's face.
Xia Yitong: “…”
She called out to the shadow: "How about... you guys continue?"
Laiying: “???”
Xia Yitong whispered, "Hurry up and vent her excessive energy, otherwise these two children will be woken up by her."
Laiying: “Okay.”
Laiying dragged her sisters and dragged Lu Yinbing back. Lu Yinbing struggled angrily, "I told you that you are jealous of me. You even won't let me see the child! You can stop me for a while, but you can't stop me forever!"
Xia Yitong was sweating profusely, thinking that it would be good to stop you for a while. She called the confinement nanny who had been standing next to her for an hour or so, "Xiao Liu, come with me to carry the baby upstairs first. It's too noisy here."
