Every time he went to a new place, he would send a postcard back, sometimes I get two or three a month, each with a short greeting to us and the name of the next destination.

He is tireless, to make up for all those missed and lost, more energetic than young people. In just one year, he traveled all over the American continent, and finally returned to Xiangtan when Ning Xi was one year old, like a migratory bird returning home.

Song Mo was very happy to see his grandfather, and the two shared each other’s experiences over the past year like friends. Song Mo talked about anecdotes from school, and Song Xiao told him about the strange scenery he saw along the way. The common topic of the two was Song Ning Xi, who was babbling.

Regularly reporting on his sister’s growth is also one of Song Xiao’s homework for his grandson.

Song Mo is very clever. Although he is only 7 years old, his reading and writing skills are already very good, and he can use chat software proficiently. Grandparents and grandchildren often exchange information, one shows each other the bird he took, and the other shows his sister. And compliment each other.

Once I accidentally saw the chat screen of Song Mo and Song Xiao, Song Mo praised Song Xiao’s bird and said, “This bird is so beautiful, you are amazing, grandpa!”

Then Song Xiao took a picture of Song Mo. The younger sister praised and said, “The angle of the fall is really good, and Mo Mo is also very good!”

The two of them humbled each other about who was more powerful, back and forth a dozen times, and finally Song Mo was embarrassed to admit to be more powerful.

“My little sister can talk, she can call her parents and brother, she’s smart.”

Song Mo hugged Ning Xi and sat beside Song Xiao, and from time to time he took out the hand that was in her mouth. The child grows faster and faster, and has more and more skills. Now that her eyes are not on her, she doesn’t know what will happen in the next second.

Yesterday, as soon as I entered the house, I found that she wanted to “break out of prison”, but because of her short legs, it was embarrassing to ride on the guardrail.

Just as she was having a headache, she looked up and saw me, her eyes lit up immediately, biting her pacifier and making a vague “mom” sound.

I sighed and carried her back to the guardrail, and told Song Bai Lao and Song Mo about this at dinner.

Song Bai Lao was very excited after hearing this, and after eating, he took Ning Xi back to the “criminal scene” and asked her to do it again.

The little baby bit the pacifier, held the guardrail, looked at him innocently from the bottom up with big eyes, I don’t know if she understood, but she really raised a leg.

The fat and white legs like lotus roots straddled the guardrail, and Song Mo dutifully took pictures on the side, recording the wonderful moments of his sister.

“My little sister is amazing, my little sister is going to hurdle!”

The shutter sounded constantly, Ning Xi might have seen her brother’s excitement. She couldn’t bear to lose her excitement.

But her power is only that of a baby after all. It is too weak to hold on any longer, and her whole body will fall down.

I hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up, but Song Bai Lao was already ready, reached out and grabbed the clothes on her back, and easily lifted her up.

Ning Xi’s panicked expression had not faded, but when she saw Song Bai Lao, she laughed again: “papa?”

Song Bai Lao also smiled at her, showing her white teeth. The next moment, he put her back in the guardrail and turned his head coldly. He ruthlessly told Aunt Jiu, “Raise the guardrail.”

The little baby wrapped in a diaper grabbed the gap between the guardrail with both hands, and his expression looked helpless and blank. And Song Mo was still taking pictures on the side.

“What’s the first word my sister will say?” Song Xiao smiled and rubbed the top of Ning Xi’s soft hair.

When he came back this time, his face was radiant, the whole person was much more cheerful, and his relationship with Song Bai Lao was more natural.

The cracks still exist, but they are slowly healing.

“It’s ‘brother’!” Song Mo swayed his legs, joy was written on his face, “I taught her for a long time.”

“Really? Mo Mo is really good, and I will try to teach her how to speak ‘grandfather’ later. Call me Grandpa, I really want to hear my sister call me grandpa.”

Ning Xi would also say “little sister” and “bad”. Every time she fell or was hurt, she would point to the wound and complain, “little sister, bad.”

If Song Bai Lao was a little stricter when facing her, she would also point to Song Bai Lao and complain to me, saying, “Dad is bad.”

In her opinion, “bad” should be those things she doesn’t like.

“Okay, I’ll start teaching my sister tomorrow.” Song Mo said.

“Then let’s settle it.”

“The meal is ready.” I interrupted the conversation between the two of them and went up to pick up Ning Xi and said, “Let’s eat.”

Song Mo got off the sofa and jumped to the dining room: “I want to sit next to Grandpa!”

Ning Xi’s birthday banquet was not very grand, but held a small cold dinner party at home, and invited relatives and friends to the scene. There were only 20 or 30 people in total.

Liang Qiu Yang left the schedule early to attend his goddaughter’s birthday party. I didn’t even mention it, he took the initiative to say that he would sing at the birthday party and sing a mix of nursery rhymes.

In addition to bringing his own gift, Luo Meng Bai also brought a gift from Luo Qinghe. It was a beautiful pink princess dress.

Luo Qinghe is currently busy with official business. Not long ago, he submitted an application for a bill to the Speaker of the Congress, which caused an uproar among the people.

He attempted to carry out Alpha and Omega gland removal surgery, but was quickly dismissed by the council for lack of statistical data.

Although the proposal was refuted, it should have caused quite a bit of public opinion.

Those who support him are more fanatical, those who oppose him hate him deeply. But I think that might be the effect he’s trying to cause.

At present, he has obtained the approval of the government ethics committee for the trial, and the trial will last for three years. If the surgery passes clinical trials three years later, gland removal may become popular, and the freedom of divorce between Alpha and Omega will be just around the corner.

The test will be undertaken by two research institutions, one of which is the laboratory under Luo Meng Bai.

“Uncle has been busy recently, and he said he would come to see my sister in two days.” Luo Meng Bai handed the gift to the servant and explained to me.

Whether he was really busy or didn’t want to bump into Song Xiao, no one knew except himself. But this is also good, lest they disagree and quarrel.

The cake for the birthday party took me two days to make. There are four layers in total. It is decorated with spring flowers of various colors made of buttercream. From top to bottom, it looks like a gorgeous fleece blanket.

Before cutting the cake, Song Bai Lao pretended to have someone spread a stall on the grass, and put a lot of the four treasures of the study, abacus perfume and other things, and asked Ning Xi to catch.

""

A circle of adults surrounded them, staring at the little baby in the middle.

She sat there, looking at this, and at that, and took two steps and picked up a note.

“Sure enough, she looks like her father, with a business acumen…” Before anyone could finish her praise, she threw the money away in disgust.

Crawled around again and picked up a lipstick.

Liang Qiu Yang immediately said: “Sister will be gorgeous in the future, maybe she will become a big star…”

Before she finished speaking, the lipstick was also discarded.

After that, the film, the pin, and the paintbrush were all treated the same. She was interested in everything and lost interest the moment she picked it up.

Just when everyone was gradually numb, she picked up another thing, a baseball bat.

Song Mo recently joined the school’s baseball team. This is his baseball bat. It’s shorter than the average adult’s bat, but it’s still too heavy for a one-year-old baby.

Her face was flushed red, she tried to lift the stick, she finally lifted it a little, and then made a move that shocked everyone present.

She knocked over the rag doll placed on the blanket.

I’m sure she wasn’t unconscious, she basically smashed it at the head of the doll. After the doll was successfully smashed and flew out, she stood up tremblingly with a baseball bat, screaming and laughing, not to mention how excited she looked.

“Uh… She will definitely be a good hitter.” Luo Meng Bai broke the silence and made a dry beautification.

I heard Song Bai Lao chuckle softly next to me, then leaned into my ear and said, “She does look a lot like me, so I don’t need to worry about her being bullied in the future.”

Are you talking about a fight?

This is simply not wanting to be biased. Before Ning Xi was born, I was worried that she would have a personality like Song Bai Lao, but now it seems that she has inherited Song Bai Lao’s violent gene perfectly.

In the future, she will be a little bully.

I couldn’t help laughing: “Cut the cake.”

Song Bai Lao hugged me towards Ning Xi and picked her up from the ground.

“The Catch Ceremony has ended successfully, and my daughter will be an outstanding ‘athlete’ in the future.”

The guests burst into laughter.

Song Bai and I worked together to hold the baby’s hand, grab her and cut the first cut on the cake.

In the second half of the birthday party, Ning Xi started to feel sleepy, twisted her eyes with her hands and kept yawning, so I asked Aunt Jiu to take her back to sleep.

Liang Qiu Yang sang for the whole night, and he couldn’t be too excited. I don’t know why he was so excited when he sang children’s songs.

Song Bai Lao and Luo Meng Bai were chatting on the side, and he came to find me.

“It’s so nice…” He ate the cake on the plate, “Everyone is so happy.”

“Yeah, it’s so nice.” I leaned against the fence of the yard and looked at the children playing with other children not far away. Song Mo, and the “old children” who were very eye-catching among them, watched them laugh and play, and my hearts felt strangely peaceful.

This may be what Liang Qiu Yang called “happiness”. It’s not violent, and it doesn’t have any sense of existence. It’s flat and light, as common as the water you drink every day, and as rare as the sunshine of Hexi (mountain) in winter.

It may not be clearly perceived at ordinary times, but when I look back one day, I find that it has penetrated into every corner of life.

“I also want to have a daughter, a daughter like Momo.”

I looked at Liang Qiu Yang beside me strangely: “A daughter like Momo?”

He bit the spoon: “Why, can’t I? I like Momo also likes girls, so I want to have a daughter like Momo. Why is Luo Meng Bai also Momo’s cousin, there should be a good chance of giving birth to a child like Momo, right Ning Yu?”

This…I don’t know. Song Ningxi is also Luo Meng Bai’s cousin and niece, but her personality is not “momo” at all.

After hesitating again and again, I finally couldn’t bear to hit him and gave a vague “um”.

After Liang Qiu Yang left the stage, the band played a soothing dance song, which was very suitable for dancing.

On the lawn in the center of the venue, many couples were already swaying gently. Liang Qiu Yang said that he also wanted to dance, so he left me and went in the direction of Luo Meng Bai.

I saw that Luo Meng Bai readily agreed without hesitation, and was dragged into the dance floor by Liang Qiu Yang with their holding hands.

Song Bai Lao put the champagne glass aside and walked towards me slowly.

“This charming gentleman, may I have the honor to invite you to a dance?”

He stretched out his hand and bowed slightly.

I stared at his hand, making it difficult: “I can only do the men’s step.”

Even so, I handed my hand to him.

He held my hand firmly and led me forward: “It doesn’t matter, I can do the female steps.”
