Chapter 835: 836, Grandma is also well-behaved (second update)

During this time, Bao Bao and Bei Bei had successfully weaned and learned more and more words. Not only could they distinguish between daddy, mommy, grandma, and auntie, but they could also recognize different small animals.

However, the ability to distinguish small animals was something Chu Jin only discovered today.

At night, Chu Jin held a bunch of cards and said to Mo Zhixuan, "Mo Zhixuan, Bao Bao and Bei Bei can recognize many kinds of small animals now." For nine-month-old children, being able to distinguish animals was a sign of early wisdom.

"Really?" Mo Zhixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Mhm," Chu Jin nodded, "Of course it’s true, don’t believe me? Watch."

Chu Jin sat in front of Bao Bao and Bei Bei, flipped over a card with a bird on it, and said, "Tell mommy, what small animal is this?"

"This is Le Le." The two little ones said in unison, their pronunciation not quite standard, their voices still babish.

"And this one?" Chu Jin then flipped over a card with a monkey on it.

"Hao Hao." Hao Hao meant monkey, and the two little ones still spoke in unison.

"Mm, Bao Bao and Bei Bei are really great. What about this one?" Chu Jin flipped over another card, this one with a picture of Little Grey.

"Fei Fei." Fei Fei was Grey Grey, and Grey Grey was Little Grey.

Mo Zhixuan looked at the two clever little ones and couldn’t help but curve his lips upward, proud that they were his offspring.

A sense of pride welled up inside Mo Zhixuan, but his expression remained as usual on the surface.

"And this?" Chu Jin flipped over another card, this one with an image of a little white.

"Mimi." The two characters for Mimi were pronounced very standardly. Mimi stood for a little kitten.

"And this one?" To test the little ones’ response ability, Chu Jin flipped over another card, this one with a picture of an airplane.

Bei Bei looked at the card with the airplane, slightly stunned, furrowed his brow like a little adult, as if he was trying hard to think what exactly this was.

However, Bao Bao excitedly picked up the card and shouted loudly, "Mama, airpane!"

Bao Bao’s favorite things besides fluffy toys were airplanes.

"Bao Bao, it’s fly! Airplane!" Chu Jin corrected his pronunciation.

Bao Bao watched Chu Jin’s mouth shape, then earnestly mimicked, "Airpane!"

Chu Jin corrected him again, "Not air, it’s fly, airplane."

Bao Bao looked at Chu Jin, very earnest, "Airpane!"

Chu Jin held her forehead, "Fly!"

Bao Bao followed her lead, "Air!"

"It’s fly!"

"Air!"

"Airplane!"

"Airpane."

"Bao Bao, it’s air, airpane!" As soon as Chu Jin finished speaking, she realized something was off and held her forehead helplessly, "I almost got wound up by you, little rascal! It’s airplane!"

"Airpane!" Bao Bao laughed happily, "Mama, silly!"

Watching the comical interaction between mother and son, Mo Zhixuan couldn’t help but chuckle, "Jin, let it be. Bao Bao is still little, it’s normal for his pronunciation to be imprecise. He’ll get it right when he grows up."

Chu Jin looked at her adorably foolish son and shook her head helplessly.

Chu Jin flipped over another card, "What is this?"

"Bao Bao." The two little ones spoke in unison once again.

This was a card with a picture of bread.

"Last one, okay?" Chu Jin put the final card in front of the two little ones.

Seeing the picture, the two little ones became extremely excited and started shouting joyfully, "Papa!"

Pffff! Chu Jin couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Mo Zhixuan looked at the card with a big fat pig on it, his face turning a bit dark. Did these two little ones have some misunderstanding with the word "Papa"?

"Look again, is this really Papa?" Chu Jin asked again, trying to hold back her laughter.

"Papa!" The two little ones were unwavering.

"It’s a pig." Chu Jin corrected.

"Pig." Bei Bei quickly corrected himself and then sweetly called out to Mo Zhixuan, "Papa, hug."

"Ai, Papa’s darling girl." Mo Zhixuan reached out to hug Bei Bei and planted a big kiss on her little face, all his irritation dissipating.

"Papa," Bao Bao, always wanting to be contrarian to Chu Jin, looked at the card with the pig and called it Papa.

Chu Jin laughed, "It’s not Papa, it’s a pig."

"It’s Papa!" Bao Bao said firmly, addressing the big fat pig as Papa.

Bei Bei corrected from the side, "Gege, pig."

Bao Bao grabbed Bei Bei’s hand, "Bei Bei, Papa, it’s Papa..."

Actually, Bao Bao, cunning as a little fox, knew that wasn’t Daddy. He was intentionally trying to rile up Mo Zhixuan.

"You little rascal, you’re even teaching your sister bad habits!" Mo Zhixuan put Bei Bei on the crib and reached out to pinch Bao Bao’s little ear, scolding, "Let’s see if I don’t teach you a lesson today!"

Bao Bao didn’t dodge, but stood like a little grown-up with his hands clasped behind his back, staring intently at Mo Zhixuan without blinking—little eyes locked with big eyes.

"Say you’re sorry to Daddy," Chu Jin gave Bao Bao a meaningful look.

But Bao Bao acted as if he didn’t see Chu Jin’s signal, standing fearless in front of the icy Mo Zhixuan.

Indeed, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Just when Mo Zhixuan was about to lose his temper, Bao Bao suddenly pulled out a candy from his pocket and held it out to Mo Zhixuan, "Daddy, eat candy..."

In that instant, the anger in Mo Zhixuan’s heart dissipated completely. He reached out to pat Bao Bao on the head, then picked him up and smiled, "You little rascal."

Bao Bao was very smart, knowing to win people over with candy.

"Daddy, peel..." Bao Bao held the candy up to Mo Zhixuan’s mouth.

As he spoke, Bao Bao opened his mouth wide, waiting to be fed like a little bird.

Mo Zhixuan: "..." He thought the little rascal was offering him the candy to eat, but he was mistaken—Bao Bao just wanted it for himself...

"Daddy, peel!" Seeing that Mo Zhixuan was still not peeling the candy, Bao Bao reached out and gave Mo Zhixuan’s hand a little slap.

"Alright, alright, Daddy will peel it for you now." Mo Zhixuan obligingly began to peel the candy for Bao Bao.

Chu Jin intervened from the side, "Mo Jingxing, you can’t have any more candy today." Just like all other kids, Bao Bao loved eating candy, having just gotten over his milk addiction only to develop a sweet tooth.

Bao Bao’s lips puckered in a pout, looking aggrievedly at Mo Zhixuan, "Daddy, peel..."

Seeing Bao Bao like this melted Mo Zhixuan’s heart, and he turned to Chu Jin, "Just let Bao Bao have one piece of candy."

"No eating," Chu Jin declared firmly, "He’s already had two pieces today. He needs to restrain himself."

Children shouldn’t eat too much candy, otherwise, their teeth will get ruined.

Chu Jin was a gentle mother but also a strict one.

"If Mommy says no candy, then we won’t have any, okay?" Mo Zhixuan echoed Bao Bao’s usual way of speaking.

In this family, Chu Jin was the head of the family.

"Wah!" Hearing he couldn’t have candy, Bao Bao hugged Mo Zhixuan’s neck and began to cry loudly, while sobbing out, "Candy... want candy... peel..."

"Mo Jingxing," Chu Jin adopted a serious tone, "I’m counting to three—stop crying at once."

"Three, two..."

Just as she was about to say "one," Bao Bao’s cries abruptly stopped. He looked up at Chu Jin with such pitiful eyes that it was hard to say anything harsh to him anymore.

Bao Bao sniffled and then reached out his arms towards Chu Jin, "Mommy, hug..."

Having annoyed Chu Jin, Bao Bao knew how to coax her; tears were still on his face, yet a smile was forming at the corner of his mouth.

Facing such an adorable little one, who could bear to get angry at him?

Chu Jin looked at Bao Bao, feeling both frustrated and amused, and took him up in her arms, gently patting his little bottom, "You little scamp."

Seeing that his mom wasn’t mad anymore, Bao Bao continued, "Candy candy, Mommy, peel..."

Chu Jin’s expression changed.

Bao Bao immediately withdrew his hand and threw the candy onto the carpet, huffily saying, "Don’t want candy!"

Actually, Bao Bao was a little afraid of Chu Jin—he decided it was better not to upset Mommy...

A real man should know when to hold firm and when to yield—not to bend over for a few pieces of candy.

Seeing Bao Bao like this, both Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan chuckled.

The little fellow was so clever and quirky, it was unclear whom he took after.

After soothing Bao Bao and Bei Bei to sleep, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan carried them over to the next-door baby room.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei now slept soundly, capable of sleeping through till daylight, and hardly needed tending to.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year was upon them.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei were already eleven months old.

Now that the two little ones had learned to walk, the natural consequence was them running all over the house every day.

Old Mrs. Mo and the maternity matron barely took their eyes off them for a second before they couldn’t find the two little ones.

New Year’s Eve.

It was a scene of harmonious joy at the Mo family.

As in previous years, Chu Xiu and Zhao Yan came to the Mo family for New Year’s celebrations.

Unlike previous years, this year’s New Year’s Eve saw two new members added to the festivities.

After lunch, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan were in the living room writing couplets.

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Mo and Zhao Yan were busy scouring the house for Bao Bao and Bei Bei.

Ever since Bao Bao and Bei Bei learned to play hide-and-seek, they would disappear whenever someone wasn’t paying enough attention.

"Zhixuan, Jin, have you seen Bao Bao and Bei Bei?" Old Mrs. Mo asked, her forehead covered with sweat.

"She was just here; she might have gone to the toy room," Chu Jin said, her eyes lifting slightly.

No sooner had she spoken than the Mo family matriarch and Zhao Yan immediately headed for the toy room.

Indeed, they found the two little ones in the toy room.

Now, because of the two little ones, the Mo family matriarch didn’t make New Year’s goods herself like before but left these tasks to the servants.

She now focused solely on taking care of Bao Bao and Bei Bei.

Watching Bao Bao and Bei Bei grow day by day filled her days with fulfillment.

Looking at Bao Bao and Bei Bei, Chu Jin suddenly thought of the day she got married and only now understood Zhao Yan’s feelings at that time.

She could hardly bear to imagine the scene of marrying off Bei Bei in the future.

Seeing her like this, Mo Zhixuan stopped writing with his brush and asked curiously, "What’s wrong now?"

Chu Jin collected her thoughts, "Nothing, just suddenly realizing how fast time flies. In the blink of an eye, Bao Bao and Bei Bei can walk. I still remember when they were born, how you thought they were so ugly," Chu Jin couldn’t forget Mo Zhixuan’s reaction at the time.

Nor could she forget the way Bao Bao and Bei Bei looked when they were born.

So tiny.

So soft.

Their fists were almost the size of Mo Zhixuan’s one finger.

"Yeah, time flies so fast," Mo Zhixuan said deeply moved. Had he not experienced it himself, he would never have imagined that the two ugly creatures could turn into the soft, cute, smart, and lovely beings they were now.

For bringing these two little ones into the world, Chu Jin had suffered so much, but fortunately, both tykes were obedient and sensible, and also quite easy on the eyes...

Chu Jin then said, "What kind of man do you hope Bei Bei marries in the future?"

"Marry off?" Mo Zhixuan frowned slightly, somewhat baffled, "Why does my daughter need to marry off?"

Why should his precious daughter be taken away by someone unrefined? Shouldn’t others be marrying into his daughter’s family?

Mo Zhixuan had never considered this question before.

"Mo Zhixuan, I’m serious. Girls grow up, and one day they will marry off," continued Chu Jin.

Upon this topic, Mo Zhixuan’s expression also grew serious; he could hardly bear to imagine such a scene...

When he married Chu Jin, he was the groom, delighted at last to have the beauty to himself, it was a happy, blessed occasion.

But when Mo Qingyi got married, as a brother, he knew the sourness in his heart.

It was a joyous event.

But the experience was truly suffocating.

Longing for his sister’s happiness, yet wishing she could stay in the family forever.

If Mo Zhixuan had to marry off Bei Bei himself, he simply wouldn’t be able to do it.

She was the daughter he had raised with his own hands; why should he hand her over to another?

Mo Zhixuan fell into deep contemplation.

Seeing him like this, Chu Jin reminded him, "Hey, Mo Zhixuan, I’m talking to you!"

Mo Zhixuan snapped back to reality, "I only have two requirements, one is to treat Bei Bei well, and the other is she can’t marry far away." It was obvious that keeping Bei Bei single for life was not practical.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Zhixuan added, "Why not have the man marry into our family instead? Why should it be our Bei Bei who marries off?"

Bei Bei was his precious treasure, after all.

Chu Jin said with a laugh, "Traditionally it’s always the daughter who marries off. Have you ever heard of a family marrying off a son? By your logic, why didn’t you marry into my family at the time?" His ideas were indeed odd.

Mo Zhixuan thought about it, then said, "Then it has to be someone who will treat Bei Bei well and can’t take her far away!" He needed to see his precious daughter every day to feel at ease.

"When a daughter grows up, the parents can’t control everything," Chu Jin said with a smile, "Of course, treating Bei Bei well is a must, but the matter of marrying far is not for us to decide."

Chu Jin was much more rational than Mo Zhixuan. Although she couldn’t bear the thought of her daughter marrying far away, if Bei Bei truly found her love one day, she couldn’t use the name of love to shackle her.

Mo Zhixuan narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and to forestall any future issues, he picked up his brush again, took an A4 paper from the side, and began to write with a light touch.

Unlike the imposing cursive script used for couplets,

what landed on the A4 paper was an extremely elegant small script.

Each stroke was meticulous, so elegant it looked as if it had been printed.

Chu Jin glanced sideways and saw that the A4 paper had a neatly written title.

Promissory note.

"I promise never to marry far away!"

Promisor: Chu Ge.

Agreement date: XX year, February 15th.

After writing, Mo Zhixuan gestured for Bei Bei to come over, "Bei Bei, come here."

"Daddy." Bei Bei toddled over with her chubby little legs, puffing and panting.

Bao Bao was sitting on the carpet in front of Bei Bei, and seeing Bei Bei running quickly, he silently stuck out a chubby leg in her path, then watched her with a mischievous smile.

Bao Bao had become a little rascal, always ready to bully Bei Bei.

Bei Bei ran quickly, as if she hadn’t seen Bao Bao’s leg, and stepped on it hard.

Bao Bao was a troublemaker, but Bei Bei wasn’t someone to be messed with either.

That step really hurt, and Bao Bao instantly burst into loud wails. He immediately stood up and ran to Chu Jin’s side, "Mommy, it hurts..."

Chu Jin glanced at Bao Bao and showed no sympathy, "Serves you right, for bullying your sister."

Having no choice, Bao Bao then turned his gaze toward Mo Zhixuan, "Daddy, it hurts... huff huff..." it won’t hurt after huffing.

Bao Bao wore a pitiful look, attempting to melt Mo Zhixuan’s heart.

"You deserve it!" Mo Zhixuan had the same reaction as Chu Jin, then he patted Bei Bei’s head, "Bei Bei, you did great. Daddy will reward you with a candy. You must keep this up; if anyone dares to bully you, we’ll bully them back."

Girls should be a bit fierce after all.

That way, they won’t be cheated once they go out into society.

"Okay Daddy." Bei Bei took the candy, and with a proud huff, turned towards Bao Bao.

"Wah!" Bao Bao cried even harder.

He must not be their biological son.

Daddy and Mommy don’t love him!

His sister bullied him, and Daddy and Mommy didn’t come to comfort him, instead, they even rewarded his sister with candy...

So annoying!

Bao Bao cried very sadly.

"Don’t cry Bao Bao, grandma will also give you candy!" The old Madam Mo hurried over, peeling a candy for Bao Bao, her face full of distress.

Seeing his savior, Bao Bao immediately clutched the old Madam Mo’s hand, "Grandma, it hurts... huff huff..." Bao Bao cried as if he were a pear flower bathed in rain.

The old Madam Mo instantly picked Bao Bao up and gently blew on his little leg after lifting his pant leg.

"Grandma will huff huff for Bao Bao, and it won’t hurt anymore. Bao Bao, you have to behave from now on and stop bullying your sister. You know it hurts to be stepped on, but it also hurts if your sister falls, right? You’re the older brother, and brothers should protect their sisters, so no more bullying your sister from now on, got it?"

Bao Bao, while munching on candy, hummed lightly, unclear if he understood or not, his cheeks puffed out and tears still clinging to his eyes, then nodded.

"Grandma’s Bao Bao is so good." The old Madam Mo smiled with relief.

"Grandma... is also good..." Bao Bao extended his little chubby hand and gently touched the old Madam Mo’s face, his smile radiant.

The old Madam Mo’s face was filled with smiles because of Bao Bao’s adorable antics.

On this side.

Mo Zhixuan picked up Bei Bei, took off her shoes and socks, and pressed her little foot into the ink pad, then very solemnly stamped it onto the pledge.

The black and white pledge was suddenly adorned with a bright red little footprint.

"Bei Bei, this is the pledge you signed with Daddy; you can’t go back on it later," Mo Zhixuan looked at Bei Bei with gentle eyes.

Bei Bei couldn’t read, nor did she know that Daddy had dug a huge pit for her; she just smiled sweetly at Mo Zhixuan.

To prevent Bei Bei from regretting it when she grew up, Mo Zhixuan handed her the pledge and said softly, "Bei Bei, hold on to this. Shall Daddy take a picture of you with it?"

"Yes." Bei Bei nodded happily. She loved taking pictures the most now and took Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan’s phones every day to take selfies.

Bei Bei, holding the pledge, smiled very happily.

Mo Zhixuan picked up the phone and captured this precious moment.

Chu Jin held Bao Bao, standing behind them, watching this father and daughter with tender eyes.

Zhao Yan came over and said with a smile, "Zhixuan, you really have a lot of clever tricks; how did you even think of this method?"

In fact, Mo Zhixuan had seen this method by chance on TV and was just applying it on the fly now.

In this world, he’s not the only father worried about his daughter marrying far away.

Many fathers share his worries.

After all, who would want to hand over their precious child to a pig?

Mo Zhixuan tenderly kissed Bei Bei’s little face, then asked, "Mom, what do you think of this method?"

"It’s pretty good, just afraid Bei Bei won’t acknowledge it later," Zhao Yan picked up the pledge, examining it closely.

"Not acknowledging it is not an option," Mo Zhixuan picked up Bei Bei and said, "Bei Bei, tell Daddy if you’ll acknowledge it when the time comes?"

"I will," Bei Bei nodded seriously, "acknowledge."

"That’s Daddy’s good daughter." Mo Zhixuan kissed Bei Bei’s face again.

Mo Zhixuan then picked up the phone, switched to video mode, and said, "Bei Bei, Daddy will say a sentence, and you repeat after Daddy, okay?"

"Okay," Bei Bei nodded.

Mo Zhixuan began slowly, "I, Chu Bei Bei."

Bei Bei also began, "I, Chu Bei Bei."

Mo Zhixuan continued, "with the given name Chu Ge, willingly sign this pledge today without any threats. I am very happy now. I love Daddy and Mommy very much and I want to stay by Daddy and Mommy’s side forever, never to marry away."

Bei Bei looked at Mo Zhixuan, somewhat speechless, "Daddy, you’re speaking too fast..." She simply couldn’t keep up with such a speed.
