Luo Baobao raised his head, smiling so hard that his eyebrows were crescent and his dimples were deep.
"Mom, my brother and I were in your belly together. How are you sure it was me who did those things? Even if I like my brother, I won't take the blame for him!"
Yang Ruoqing gently scratched Baby Luo's nose, "Why doesn't Mom know? I can figure it out just by looking at your two personalities after birth."
"You two are placed in the same cradle. Your brother is very gentle no matter whether he is asleep or awake, but you are different. He punches and kicks you, and likes to burp the most. You said, you are not the one who is making the fuss in your stomach. Who else could it be?”
Baby Luo was already covering her mouth and giggling, her eyes formed two crescent moons, and her high ponytail was dangling behind her head.
"No matter how many children Mom has, each of your children is unique to Mom and Dad."
Yang Ruoqing suddenly said again.
Luo Baobao was startled for a moment, then nodded, stood up, hugged Yang Ruoqing's shoulders from behind and acted coquettishly: "Mom, don't worry, I'm not a child, so I won't listen to the nonsense of those aunties in the village teasing children!"
The most common thing people in the village say when teasing children is: Your parents are going to give you a younger brother or sister. Then they won’t like you anymore and will send you away...
From the perspective of adults, these jokes have no deep meaning and no malice. They are just jokes to amuse children.
They like to enjoy the reactions of children when they hear these words, whether they are panic, anger, confusion, or at a loss...
They think it's fun and interesting.
However, they ignore one thing. This kind of teasing is actually a kind of harm to children.
Children are so pure, innocent, ignorant, and know very little about the world. They take whatever adults say.
Your funny words may leave a deep scar on his little mind and make her (him) feel insecure for a time. Seriously, it may even affect their confidence and sense of security when they become adults in the future. influential.
So I advise adults, please don't tease children in that way. It's not love, it's unintentional harm.
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and gently stroked Luo Baobao's face. Their cheeks were pressed tightly together.
"My baby has really grown up, Mom, I'm so happy."
Yang Ruoqing was not an emotional person, but at this moment, she really hated herself for the lack of poems and songs in her heart, and she couldn't express the roaring emotions in words.
She and Luo Fengtang chose to have a second child, partly because they were careless.
On the other hand, in fact, the two people may have tacit intentions, but they just didn't say it out loud.
At this age, the children are getting older and have their own careers and dreams to pursue.
My knees were suddenly empty, and I was only in my thirties.
Many times I would look at the empty house of my children and think back to what happened when they were young. At the time, I felt that the memory was so profound that I would never forget it, but now when I think about it, I can only remember a few fragments.
There are always regrets and shortcomings in the growth of children, and they always feel that they are not perfect parents.
With two more children, the family will be more lively and prosperous, and there will be more support between their brothers and sisters in the future.
After all, this is not modern times, this is an ancient era where farming was the mainstay. There were many brothers and sisters, and a prosperous family was always what everyone was after.
It's just that she has to endure more hardships and has to take risks from pregnancy to childbirth.
But for the sake of their brothers and sisters, Yang Ruoqing is willing to take this risk again.
"Have you exchanged letters with Bingbing recently? How is he doing in the military camp?" Yang Ruoqing suddenly asked again.
Because the last time Zhou Sheng and Ping'er received a letter from Bing Bing was during the flood, they didn't send any more letters to their homes. The couple was very worried.
"Bingbing? Mom, don't mention that guy anymore. We used to study together and my husband asked him to write. The ruler broke several strings and he couldn't write a few words."
"Now that I have joined the army, I suddenly really like writing. He will send me a letter every half month. Each time, there are five pieces of paper, jabbering, and telling me everything about the military camp. Yes, it makes me feel nothing new about the military camp!"
Yang Ruoqing was amused by Luo Baobao's exaggerated remarks.
Suddenly I thought of the freshmen who had just entered college. It is said that the most common things they did in the previous month were the following two:
Military training.
and writing letters to high school classmates.
The letters almost always introduce their respective university campuses, from the environment to surrounding service facilities, from teaching buildings to canteens, from playgrounds to libraries.
The hostess at the welcome party is even more beautiful than Liu Yifei, the junior high school senior is a match for Xiao Zhan, or maybe the most popular figure in the school is a certain second generation...
Even the tourist attractions in the city where the university is located must be listed in a long list, including which bus routes lead to which attractions, and must be clearly stated on the letter paper.
Which canteen has delicious food, which window has an auntie who cooks without shaking hands, who is the counselor, what is the ratio of men to women in the class, which cities are the roommates from...
Wait, wait, these cannot be explained clearly in three or five letters.
But at the end of almost every letter, there is a warm invitation to high school classmates to come here during the holidays, take them around the campus, treat them to dinner, etc...
It is estimated that Bingbing, a new recruit, must be in that exciting stage now, and it is difficult to communicate with her family because of the generation gap.
Therefore, it is more resonant to talk to Luo Baobao, who also has a yearning for the military camp.
"This shows that Bingbing is full of enthusiasm for military camp life, which is a good thing." Yang Ruoqing said.
What I fear most is that when I get there, I won't be able to endure the hardships, and I find that going to the real battlefield is different from the training ground of the Qing'an County Military Department, and then I cry and want to desert.
Fortunately not.
"Well, look at that boy's letter. Luo Li is a bit fussy, but overall, he should be able to adapt." Luo Baobao also acted like an adult, straightening his back and holding his chin, as if he was a steamed bun. of analysis.
"What about you? Have you replied to my letter?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Luo Baobao thought for a while, "Mom, if I tell the truth, you must promise not to hit me or scold me."
Yang Ruoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are such a big girl and so sensible, why would mother hit you and scold you?"
"Besides, when you were a child, your mother didn't beat or scold you for no reason!"
Luo Baobao chuckled, and then said: "Actually, I replied a letter to Bingbing. He wrote to me when he first arrived at the military camp. I replied and encouraged him. Later, I became more and more busy. Never mind again."
"Huh? You haven't replied since then? Then he continues to write to you?"
"Yeah, that's why I said that little guy is weird. The military camp is a place where people fight and kill. Why does he always write letters when he has so much free time? I will have to write him a reply next time and tell him not to waste time anymore. While writing the letter, think more about making achievements, after all, a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier!"
