On a quiet morning, Yu Chen opened his eyes, turned off the alarm clock, and got up to go to work.
Ling Yuning, who was sleeping next to him, rubbed his eyes, stretched out his hand in a daze, and called to him, “Dad.”
Yu Chen put his hand back into the quilt, glanced at Ling Qing who was still sleeping, and patted his back gently, “Dad is going to work, Ning Ning, you continue to sleep, no need to get up.”
Ling Yuning nodded, turned over, and continued to sleep with his other father in his arms.
Yu Chen looked at the big and small lying on the bed, his heart full of happiness. He looked at them silently for a while, then got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.
After washing up, Yu Chen had breakfast and left home.
At around nine o’clock, Ling Yuning finally woke up again, rubbed his eyes, and slowly sat up.
He was already three years old. The three-year-old Ling Yuning felt that he was a big child, so he got out of bed carefully and prepared to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Ling Yuning came to the bathroom, stretched out his hand to push the door open, but found that he couldn’t push it.
He used his little brain to think about it, and tried to reach the door handle, but even though he stretched his little arm, he couldn’t reach it.
Little Ling Yuning was very angry.
He put his hands on his waist, thinking that this door was not well behaved at all!
“Dad is still sleeping, Ning Ning can’t disturb him.” Ling Yuning muttered softly.
What should he do then?
Ning Ning thought about it and got it!
He raised his wrist, looked at the watch on his wrist, pressed a few keys, and the voice of Grandpa Wang, who Ning Ning was familiar with, came from the other side.
Ning Ning lowered his head, covered his mouth and whispered, “Grandpa Wang, Ning Ning is awake. Ning Ning wants to brush his teeth, but Ning Ning can’t get in. The door won’t let Ning Ning in.”
Butler Wang couldn’t help laughing and said gently, “Ning Ning, wait a minute. Grandpa will take you to brush your teeth and wash your face.” He put down the things in his hands, went upstairs, opened Yu Chen’s room, and saw his young master tilting his head and sticking out his little head, then raising a finger and saying, “Shh,” “Dad is still sleeping, be quiet.”
Butler Wang nodded, and Ning Ning immediately got out through the crack of the door and didn’t forget to ask him to close the door.
“Wash my face.” Ning Ning looked up and said to him.
Butler Wang picked him up, took him to his room, then helped him wash his face and brush his teeth.
“Eat.” Ning Ning washed his hands and patted his belly, “Ning Ning is hungry.”
“Okay.”
Butler Wang carried Ning Ning to the dining room again, helped him bring the buns to the dining table, and watched him eat the buns bite by bite.
Ning Ning didn’t need anyone to coax him to eat. He held the small and delicate steamed bun in his tender little hands and took a bite, biting off half of it. The juice of the steamed bun flowed out, flowing along his fingers to the soft back of his hand. Ning Ning anxiously shouted to Butler Wang, “My hands are dirty.”
Butler Wang smiled, “It’s okay, baby, you eat first, and grandpa will help you wipe them after you finish.”
Ning Ning was no longer worried and continued to eat buns and drink milk.
After he finished eating, he stretched out his little hand in front of Butler Wang, with five fingers spread out, “Wipe it.”
Butler Wang picked him up and carried him into the bathroom. He let him stand on a small stool to wash his hands, and said to him, “Wiping it won’t clean it. You have to use bubbles to wash your hands so that your hands are clean.”
The baby didn’t quite understand, “Why?”
“Because if you don’t use bubbles, your hands will be sticky.”
“Why?” The baby continued to ask questions.
Housekeeper Wang frowned, “Well, baby, you will know when you grow up.”
“Baby has grown up.” Baby looked at the two of them in the mirror, shook his head, and smiled, “Baby is three years old.”
“A three-year-old baby is still a little baby.” Housekeeper Wang kissed him on the face.
Baby puffed up his cheeks, “I’m a big baby now.”
“You’re a little baby.” Housekeeper Wang took him down from the small stool, “Okay, wash it clean.”
“Is Daddy up?” Ning Ning asked with his head raised.
“Probably not yet.” Housekeeper Wang guessed, “Your dad will come downstairs to eat when he gets up.”
“Then I’ll wait for Dad to get up.”
“Okay.” Housekeeper Wang smiled and touched his head, his eyes full of love.
It was already half past ten when Ling Qing woke up. He looked at the bed and the room, and seeing that Ning Ning was not there, he guessed that he should have gone to play with Housekeeper Wang.
Ling Qing got out of bed, washed up, and walked out.
Ning Ning was working on a jigsaw puzzle with Butler Wang. He was working so hard that he didn’t realize Ling Qing had come downstairs until Ling Qing came to him. So he was surprised and called out, “Dad.”
“Yeah.” Ling Qing sat down on the sofa, looked at him standing in front of the coffee table, and smiled, “How’s the puzzle going?”
Ning Ning pouted, “Not so good.”
“Take your time, don’t rush.” Ling Qing hugged him in his arms.
Butler Wang asked the cook to heat up his breakfast and asked him what he wanted for lunch.
“It depends on what the baby wants to eat.” Ling Qing said, “As for me, it’s already this late, so let’s combine lunch and breakfast into one meal.”
“Okay.” Butler Wang responded, and then turned around and asked in a tone specifically for coaxing children, “Then what does Ning Ning want to eat?”
Ning Ning tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied, “Fish, sweet fish.”
Ling Qing smiled, “You are a small fish yourself, and you still eat fish.”
“Don’t small fish eat fish? Then what do they eat?”
“Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and shrimps probably eat water plants.”
Ning Ning pouted dissatisfiedly, “Ning Ning doesn’t want to eat plants.”
“Then eat vegetables.”
“Ning Ning doesn’t want to eat vegetables either.” He pulled Ling Qing’s clothes and whispered coquettishly, “Ning Ning doesn’t eat vegetables, Ning Ning wants to eat fish, sweet fish.”
Ling Qing chuckled, “Kiss daddy, and daddy will let you eat.”
Ning Ning immediately stood on tiptoe, held his face with both hands, smack, kissed him, and looked at Ling Qing eagerly.
Ling Qing felt that he was very much like a sweet fish, and said with a smile, “Okay, I’ll give you a sweet fish.”
“Dad is the best, thank you Dad.” Ning Ning kissed Ling Qing again without hesitation.
Butler Wang was very envious, “Baby, can you kiss grandpa too?”
Ning Ning generously leaned over and kissed him, “Grandpa too.”
Butler Wang was instantly satisfied and walked away to tell the little cook that they would have fish for lunch, and that the squirrel fish should be made with more sugar.
After lunch, Ning Ning wanted to go out and play.
Ling Qing had nothing to do, so he agreed.
He wore glasses, a mask and a baseball cap, then he bent down and asked Ning Ning, “Who am I?”
Ning Ning smiled and said, “Dad.”
“You can still recognize it.” Ling Qing pinched his face, “Let’s go.”
The baby took his hand and excitedly shouted “Grandpa Wang”, and the three of them went out together.
Butler Wang was responsible for driving, and Ling Qing took care of Ning Ning in the back seat.
Ning Ning sat in the child’s chair, leaning against the window to look out, and kept pointing to Ling Qing, “This one is selling flowers, this one is selling cakes, this one is selling clothes, Dad, let’s go buy clothes.”
Ling Qing looked at his excited eyes and refused, “Your grandma just bought you clothes the day before yesterday, did you forget?”
Ning Ning remembered, “Oh.”
He turned his head again and continued to look out the window, “Dad, let’s go buy flowers.”
“What are you buying flowers for?”
“Give them to dad.” Ning Ning said sweetly, “Ning Ning has two dads, so I have to give two flowers.”
Ling Qing laughed instantly, “How can you talk so well, are you a little sugar bean?”
“I’m a little fish.” Ning Ning pouted his lips and made a “pu pu pu pu” sound, as if he was blowing bubbles, and then laughed.
Obviously, he made himself laugh.
Ling Qing and Butler Wang both laughed, thinking that he was simply a funny guy.
Ling Qing didn’t plan to buy clothes for the baby, but he planned to buy a few clothes for Yu Chen. It was the time for change of seasons, and he wanted to buy some clothes for himself and Yu Chen.
He took the baby out of the car, and Butler Wang walked into the mall with them.
Ling Qing had a fixed brand for buying clothes, and in a short while, he bought seasonal clothes for himself and Yu Chen.
When he turned around, he saw that the baby was staring at a little boy, or to be more precise, at the other person’s shoes.
The sole of the shoe flashed, emitting orange, blue, and green light as the little owner walked, firmly attracting Ning Ning’s attention.
Ning Ning looked up at him and waved slightly. Ling Qing lowered his head and heard Ning Ning whisper in his ear: “Dad, his shoes are sparkling, Ning Ning’s shoes are not sparkling.”
Ling Qing asked him, “Do you like it?”
Ning Ning nodded, “Ning Ning also wants sparkling shoes.”
“But Ning Ning already has a lot of shoes.”
Ning Ning frowned pitifully and Ling Qing discussed with him, “Wait until next year when you are four years old, then I will buy you sparkling shoes, okay.”
Ning Ning thought about it, nodded with heartache, “Then you have to remember it, Dad.”
“Okay.”
After Ling Qing finished speaking, he looked up and saw Butler Wang staring at the child wearing sparkling shoes not far away.
Ling Qing: …
“Uncle Wang, do they look good?” He smiled.
Butler Wang said honestly, “It’s quite fun.”
“Then you are not allowed to buy it.”
“Just buy one pair.” Butler Wang bargained with him, “Ning Ning likes it.”
“Even if he likes it, you are not allowed to buy it. He has too many shoes and can’t wear them all.”
“But he doesn’t have this kind of shoes yet.” Butler Wang argued, “Buy a pair for the baby, just one pair.”
Ling Qing patted Ning Ning’s shoulder, “You talk to Grandpa Wang.”
Ning Ning looked up and said sensibly, “Dad said, don’t buy it for now, wait until Ning Ning is four years old.”
He stretched out his hands and counted but couldn’t figure out how long he had to wait, so he simply made a 4 with his right hand, “Four years old.”
Butler Wang had to reluctantly say, “Then four years old.”
Ning Ning nodded, “Grandpa, please remember for Ning Ning, and remind Dad when the time comes.”
Ling Qing thought where would he still need to remind him, because it was estimated that the day before he turned four, Butler Wang would have already prepared a variety of sparkling shoes and would only wait until after midnight to put them in his room for him to choose from, with no repeats for 30 days in a month.
Alas, he really knew their Uncle Wang too well.
Ning Ning didn’t get the shiny shoes he wanted. Although he was a little sad, he still bought flowers for his two fathers.
He stood in the flower shop, picked for a long time, and finally chose the small sunflowers that were not planted in the garden at home.
The owner of the flower shop helped him take out two flowers. The petals of the sunflowers were golden and bright, and there were water droplets on them, which looked very delicate.
Ning Ning stretched out his hand to take it and said sweetly, “Thank you, sister.”
Seeing how cute he was, the owner handed him the small sunflowers and smiled, “Two are only two yuan.”
Ning Ning took the flowers and touched his pocket, only to find that he had no money.
The author has something to say:
Ning Ning: What should I do if I don’t have money?
The owner: You are so cute, I will give it to you for free~
Ning Ning: But my dad doesn’t allow me to accept things from strangers~
Ling Qing: Yes, I said.
The two flowers must be more than two yuan. The owner gave him a discount because Ning Ning is cute. So~
