As for Qin Shouye's return to his hometown for the county examination, there was no need to think about it at all. After the elders of the Qin family knew about it, Qin's father and mother decided to take the little son back to their hometown. This was hard for Qin's mother. She came back and went back again, but she was worried if she didn't go back for the little son to take the county examination. It was such a serious matter, she had to take care of the little son herself to feel at ease.
In fact, if the journey was not too far, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin would want to go there, mainly because they missed their hometown. Although it is good here, the food and accommodation are good, but they don't know anyone when they go out, and the old couple still feel lonely.
After Qin's father and mother took Qin Shoucheng back, the general's mansion suddenly became empty. It looked like nothing, but in fact it was much quieter.
Originally, Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, and Qin's father and mother lived in Liuxinyuan. Now, only Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin are here, and they feel lonely. However, Yang Haiyan would bring the baby there to sit for a while every day. Seeing their great-grandson, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin felt very happy.
This morning, Yang Haiyan took her five-month-old baby to the Liuxinyuan. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Grandma Qin drying radishes. "Grandma, I have some good news for you."
Grandma Qin was curious: "What news?"
Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "Can you guess?"
Grandma Qin laughed: "Oh, what else can an old woman like me guess? Yanyan, just tell me directly."
Hearing this, Yang Haiyan did not keep the secret and said, "Last night when he was sleeping, the little one turned over."
The little baby was held in his mother's arms, looking around with curiosity with his black eyes. When he heard his mother calling his name, he babbled and stretched out his hands, thinking that his mother was calling him.
Grandma Qin was delighted when she saw this: "The little boy is really smart. He can even roll over. Look, as soon as you mention his name, you know you are calling him."
Yang Haiyan turned around and gently scratched his nose: "Yes, you are very clever." She said she was scratching his nose, but in fact, she just touched it lightly. Children are very delicate in every way, so how could she bear to really scratch his nose? What if it got shaved
The little baby opened his two innocent eyes and looked at his great-grandmother and then at his mother. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, he gave them a toothless smile, as if he understood that they were praising him.
In the living room, Yang Haiyan put the baby on the wooden couch next to Grandma Qin. The couch was large and spacious enough for the child to roll around. Yang Haiyan clapped her hands and said, "Baby, come on, turn over and let Grandma Zeng see you."
The baby saw his mother... clapping her hands. He didn't understand what she was saying, "turn over." He stretched out his hands, probably imitating his mother's clap, but his hands were too short to clap. So he smiled again.
What a happy person.
Seeing him smile, Grandma Qin was happy. At her age, she could enjoy a long life with four generations living under one roof. This was the greatest blessing. For another person, such as Qin's mother, she had her parents-in-law, parents, children, and now her eldest grandson. She could definitely be a lady with all the blessings.
Seeing him smiling foolishly, Yang Haiyan gently pushed his shoulder, not using force, just gently touching him. The baby had just learned to roll over and liked it very much. He followed his mother's force and rolled over by himself. Seeing this, Yang Haiyan couldn't help but say, "Baby is so smart, mommy applauds you."
Grandma Qin clapped her hands and said, "Our little boy is really amazing. He will be even more amazing than your father when he grows up."
I don't know if the baby was infected by the atmosphere, he turned over one after another, making Yang Haiyan and Grandma Qin laugh. Yang Haiyan hooked his little hand and said, "At such a young age, you have a strong desire to perform."
The little baby thought his mother was praising him again, and then he smiled foolishly.
The baby grew bigger and bigger amid everyone's anticipation and laughter. By November, the seven-month-old baby could actually crawl.
When Grandma Qin found out, she couldn't help but say, "He crawled earlier than his father. When I took care of Fang, he was more than eight months old, almost nine months old before he could crawl. This kid can crawl at only seven months old."
Yang Haiyan asked Dr. Li, generally babies can crawl at eight or nine months old, of course, some can start earlier or later. She thinks that babies can crawl at seven months old, which is related to adequate nutrition. When he was still in her belly, she never missed out on nutrition, and he drank breast milk for six months, and she carefully selected the milk powder after that.
Of course, regarding the origin of the milk powder, in the eyes of others, it was made by Yang Haiyan herself.
However, the baby has never drunk milk powder outside, and only Aunt Lian knows the details of milk powder.
In November in Yunxiang County, the weather was getting colder, especially the damp and chilly wind, which made me not like going out. But I made a kang in the general's mansion, and the baby could crawl on it.
This time, Yang Haiyan and her son were playing on the kang, which was made big for children to play on, and there were guardrails so that the baby wouldn't fall off while playing. She made a small ball out of a ball of cloth and threw it to the side of the bed: "Baby, ball."
Seeing this, the baby crawled towards the ball.
When a baby cannot crawl, parents usually train him to crawl. After he can crawl, in order to make his limbs more coordinated, you need to take time to train him. In short, proper crawling is good for children.
The baby picked up the ball and looked at his mother.
Yang Haiyan waved at him: "Come here, baby, give the ball to me, that is, the ball in your hand... give it to me... throw it to me..."
The baby blinked, looked at the ball, then looked at his mother, and then grinned: "Mom..."
Yang Haiyan was stunned.
The little baby happily threw the ball over: "Mom..." He uttered another word.
Yang Haiyan came back to her senses, and happily rushed over to pick up the baby: "Baby, did you call me mom just now? Didn't you?"
The baby actually didn’t say: “Mom…”
Yang Haiyan happily kissed his chubby face and said, "Hey, baby, you're great. Call me mommy again."
The baby didn't cry out. He struggled to climb out of Yang Haiyan's arms, then went to pick up the ball and threw it to Yang Haiyan: "Mom..." Then, unexpectedly, he cried out again.
Yang Haiyan was amused by him and said, "Bad boy, you are so naughty."
He chuckled.
In the evening, Qin Fang came down from his duty and saw his wife looking very happy. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so happy? Are you pregnant?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Aren't you pregnant? Your wife will scream."
Qin Fang heard this and said, "Really?" Being a father for the first time, his feelings for his first child are always particularly delicate and deep. It can be said that he has both motherly and fatherly love. Although Qin Fang sometimes dislikes his son and complains about him in his heart, his fatherly love for his son is no less than Yang Haiyan's motherly love.
Yang Haiyan nodded.
Qin Fang was very happy. He took the baby from the couch beside Yang Haiyan and held him up: "Come, call daddy. Daddy..."
I don’t know if all babies like to be lifted up, but at least Qin Linyang likes it. As soon as his father lifts him up, he giggles non-stop.
Seeing that he was grinning foolishly and not making a fuss, Qin Fang patiently instructed him: "Come, call daddy... daddy..."
The baby continued to smile and looked at his father happily.
Yang Haiyan couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, he's still young. He can call mom now, and he will definitely call dad in no time."
Qin Fang was not anxious, he was just looking forward to it. However, "Mom..." The baby who was originally laughing, cried out again when he heard Yang Haiyan mention the word "mom".
Yang Haiyan: "Ah... the baby is so good."
"Mom..." the baby cried again.
Qin Fang stuffed the baby into Yang Haiyan's arms: "I think he did it on purpose to piss me off. It's a pity that I ordered him a horse today."
Yang Haiyan caught the fruit, played with his little hand, and asked Qin Fang: "What kind of horse is it? A Ferghana horse? Is it a sirloin horse?"
Qin Fang said: "Well, she will probably be born in December, but we don't know if she is a purebred yet. Even if she is not a purebred, half of her blood is Ferghana, which is better than others." The female Ferghana are raised in the horse farm. From December to July every year, they are in heat. Qin Fang will put the male Ferghana in the horse farm and breed the female Ferghana. Of course, there are also other breeds of stallions for breeding, so we don't know if they are purebred.
Similarly, from January to July every year, not only female Arabian horses are in heat, but other mares will also be in heat, so male Arabian horses will breed them. In simple terms, it is mixed breeding. But again, even if it is not a purebred, a mixed breed is better than an ordinary breed.
Yang Haiyan heard this and said, "That's too much. If he was born in December, he would be born in the same year as our baby."
Qin Fang: "It's a pity that they are not in the same month. Other common varieties have April, but..." However, if conditions permit, he would naturally like to give his son a better quality. Qin Fang looked at his son again, and he looked like a silly and bad boy, and he couldn't bear to look at him.
By December, there were 100 mares in the stable, 81 of which were pregnant, and 28 of them gave birth. Among them, 26 foals were ordinary breeds, and two foals were mixed breeds of Arabian horses. The mares were ordinary breeds, and the stallion was Qin Fang's Hongshuai, which was the name of the Arabian horse. Qin Fang named it himself, and you can tell what it means as soon as you hear the name.
However, what made him happiest was the female Arabian horse. It gave birth to a purebred Arabian horse. Qin Fang was very happy when he saw it and asked the steward to raise it for him as a gift for his offspring.
Guan Yu: "General, I am very happy. In addition to this little Ferghana horse, there is another piece of good news today."
Qin Fang heard it and said: "Tell me quickly, if this is really good news, this general will reward you handsomely."
