How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 416 - 418: Mama_1

Mao Yawen whispered again, "You’ve said what I didn’t dare to say, that woman kind of had it coming. It’s so hard to have a stable job in Beijing. The whole story behind this case must be reported. Hopefully, those who love to blame others unjustly will take it as a warning not to push honest people to their limits, otherwise they might risk their lives." She then added, "When the case is published, it will include the names of the investigators. Since you pointed us in the right direction, we should add your name too."

Li Qiao hastily replied, "Please don’t do that. Last time, some unscrupulous journalist published my name and class and it greatly disrupted my life. Don’t mention me this time. If you want to praise me, just give me a certificate with an official seal in private." She’d save it to show her son someday.

Mao Yawen snickered, "Okay, I’ll go back and get the leader to write one."

Li Qiao smiled, said goodbye to Mao Yawen, and continued to review the materials until it was time to go home after school.

As soon as her child saw her, he moved his arms and legs excitedly. She went up to him and picked him up, "Baby, did you miss me?"

The child responded with an "ah".

Old Mrs. Qin laughed and said, "This little one has such a mature voice."

Li Qiao replied, "I don’t think it sounds old."

Old Mrs. Qin clarified, "Not old in the way you think, but commendable for its depth."

Li Qiao smiled with her eyes curved, "It is pretty deep. Mama has scheduled a class change for tomorrow. I’ll have the morning off at home. Are you happy about that?"

The child responded with another "ah".

As mother and son were chatting, Qin Jin got off work. Before even entering the yard, he began to shout, "Son, my big treasure, Daddy’s off work!"

The child closed his eyes, his expression quite intriguing.

Li Qiao couldn’t stop laughing, "Are you disapproving of how indiscreet your dad is?"

The child let out a sigh with an "ai".

That made Old Mrs. Qin laugh uncontrollably.

Qin Jin approached and took the child from Li Qiao’s arms, "Good son, did you miss me?"

The child softly hummed in response, quite calmer compared to the loud "ah" he’d given Li Qiao.

"I missed you too." Qin Jin peppered his face with kisses.

When he looked up, the child silently raised his hand to wipe his face.

That one gesture made the whole family laugh.

Old Mrs. Qin commented, "This kid is smart; he even knows how to wipe drool."

Qin Jin didn’t mind the child’s apparent disdain for him, "He’s just little, not stupid. Oh, my big treasure, how likable you are no matter how I look at you." He told Li Qiao and Old Mrs. Qin, "Feng Kui brought Jin Daxue over. Their child is much bigger than ours, those legs, feel thicker than both of our son’s combined."

Old Mrs. Qin said, "Our little one isn’t exactly skinny, just normal weight. What are they feeding theirs?"

"Breast milk," Qin Jin informed before asking the child, "Do you want a wet nurse?"

The child turned his head in protest.

Old Mrs. Qin said, "He doesn’t even take his own mother’s, let alone someone else’s."

"Did I take it when I was a child? I hope it’s not hereditary."

Old Mrs. Qin replied, "When you were little, you ate more cheerfully than anyone."

Qin Jin: "....."

.......

After the child went to sleep at night, Li Qiao also prepared to go to bed.

Qin Jin told her that he had a business trip the following Monday, which might need ten days to half a month. He would leave the child in her and grandma’s care during the intervening Saturday and Sunday.

Li Qiao replied, "Okay, you go ahead with your work, I am quite free on the weekends." The child was growing by the day, and she wanted to spend more time with him.

Speaking of the child making noises,

On a very ordinary day, the nanny suddenly told her the child could "ah", "mm", and "ai".

When she first heard about it, she felt like she missed a lot and it was not a great feeling.

The next day,

Shortly after Qin Jin went to work, Jin Daxue and Mrs. Feng brought their child over for a visit.

Upon seeing Qin Baby, Mrs. Feng kept praising how pretty the child looked. "Our child looks quite handsome by himself, much fairer than his mother, but next to you, he seems so dark."

Jin Daxue remarked, "Li Qiao is fair, but this child is too thin. Next to my child, he looks a size smaller. I heard you’re all drinking formula; why don’t you breastfeed?"

Li Qiao felt a bit awkward, "The child doesn’t want to eat." Maybe he’s carrying memories from a dream of a little boy?

But it’s not a little boy.

Dressed in a bellyband, organizing red threads for the matchmaker, he belongs to the category of little immortals.

Little immortals are centuries old and have the thoughts of adults, so he might just be embarrassed.

She really couldn’t think of any other reason.

She could only attribute it to metaphysical reasons.

Jin Daxue said, "That can’t be possible. Our Baby cuddled into my arms as soon as he was born, looking for food, but yours seems really dazed. You’d better have him checked at a hospital to see if he’s normal."

As the words fell, Qin Baby in the crib grunted and started to contort his face.

Jin Daxue: "He isn’t about to poop, is he?"

Qin Baby fumbled with a toy and threw it in her direction.

Qin Baby’s strength was weak and his hand seemed uncooperative, only managing to throw it to his feet.

Li Qiao said, "He’s not about to poop; he’s telling you to shut up." She then asked the child, "Is this auntie’s talking really annoying? We’re not dazed; we’re sharp, right?"

Qin Baby let out a vigorous ah.

Mrs. Feng was amazed, "He can understand what adults are saying?"

Old Mrs. Qin said, "Of course, his mother is a brilliant student from Beijing University, so the kid takes after her, inheriting an exceptionally bright brain."

Mrs. Feng: "...." How could you not boast about your daughter-in-law? She didn’t buy it. "Is your father called Qin Jin? If so, give us an ’ah’."

Qin Baby arh... drew out the sound.

Mrs. Feng laughed, "This baby is so fun." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Jin Daxue: "He might be just making noises unconsciously. My kid used to make ’ah ah ah’ sounds too at his age, and even learned to call ’mama’ recently." Back home, they actually say ’niang’, but in the city, people say ’mama’.

If they were to move to the city in the future, they would have to teach the child according to the city folks’ way of speaking.

As Jin Daxue said this, she encouraged her child to call ’mama’, but the child wouldn’t call out.

Jin Daxue repeated the lesson over and over.

Qin Baby watched Jin Daxue’s mouth intently.

Jin Daxue got tired of teaching and said, "My child really can call out, he was doing it just this morning, but now he’s just being stubborn and doesn’t want to."

Mrs. Feng bore witness, confirming the child could call ’mama’.

Li Qiao said, "Your baby’s nearly two months older than ours; it’s normal that he can call ’mama’. My baby is still several days shy of four months old, learning to speak is tough."

Jin Daxue: "But you’re a high-achieving student from Beijing University, your kid’s brain is sharp; he can understand what adults are saying, it shouldn’t be too hard for him to simply call out ’mama’."

Old Mrs. Qin found the conversation increasingly unpleasant.

Comparing children, are we?

Were they just trying to get them to admit that their child was slow?

She and Qiaoqiao had never said anything bad about their child.

Why target Yunye like this?

Li Qiao said, "Understanding doesn’t mean he can speak right away. Besides, we’ve been teaching our child to say ’daddy’; the word ’mama’ is not something he..."

"Mama... mama," Qin Baby articulated clearly.

Li Qiao was stunned, mama... mama?

Was he calling for ’mama’?

Oh, my goodness!

He really could say it; thank goodness Qin Jin wasn’t home, or he’d be wildly jealous.

Old Mrs. Qin asked, "Is he calling ’mama’? Baby, say it again, ’mama’."

"Mama... mama, mama," Qin Baby said.

Li Qiao was moved to tears, she bent down and kissed her child fiercely, "My dear baby, you’re so good, you’ve made me so happy." It was also quite touching, this is the magic of blood relations, a soft and cute ’mama’ can heal all unhappiness.
