After Ji Ruochu's one-year-old birthday party, Ji Mochen and his wife Ling Chujin began to worry about another matter, which was——
"Ruochu, come, follow me in reading, 'Mommy'......"
The somewhat embarrassed Ji Ruochu: ......
"Baby, come, look at me. Mommy is not good at learning this. 'Daddy' is easier to learn. Come on, 'Da-ddy'......"
The very embarrassed Ji Ruochu: Your servant can't do it!
And so, under the couple's persistence in calling "Daddy" and "Mommy" respectively, little Ji Ruochu first learned to call——
"Grandpa~"
"Oh!"
"Grandma~"
"Oh!"
The gray-haired elders laughed with joy, hugging the little one endearingly: "My great granddaughter~ She's so adorable!"
Ji Mochen and his wife: ......Feeling a little blue.
It's okay, maybe the baby finds it easier to pronounce grandpa and grandma. They'll just have to try harder.
And so, under the continued teaching of "Daddy" from the husband and "Mommy" from the wife, Ji Ruochu finally learned to call——
"Granny~"
"Grandpa~"
"Oh my! My little sweetheart~ How smart she is!" The Ling elders were so excited they cried tears of joy.
Ji Mochen and his wife: ......Feeling a little mushroom.
It's alright, it's alright. The baby can call grandpa, grandma, granny and grandpa already. It won't be long before she calls mommy and daddy, right?
And so on and so forth, after several more days of tireless effort from the couple, Ji Ruochu finally learned to call——
"Auntie~"
"Oh!" The two naughty boys of Ji's second aunt were extremely delighted. Without blinking, she took the biggest ring off her finger, put it on a gold chain and gave it to Ji Ruochu to wear.
Ji Mochen and his wife: ......
After that and this and that, the little one had called all the uncles and aunts in the family, yet the couple still did not hear their daughter calling them.
That night, the couple squatted in front of their daughter's crib, quietly watching her sleep soundly, feeling extremely tender in their hearts, yet couldn’t help feeling heartbroken.
"Dear, do you think we are not good enough somehow? Why does our treasure call everyone else but not daddy and mommy?" Ling Chujin felt very disappointed.
"How could that be?" Ji Mochen thought for a moment and came up with a possibility, "I think it might be because we keep repeating these two words around her ears. So she thinks it's just casual talk from us. How about...we don’t pressure the child anymore and see if that works?"
Although Ling Chujin felt it was a bit unreliable, she still nodded in agreement. They were helpless and just had to try.
What the couple didn't know was that after they left, the sleeping little girl turned over with a sigh of resignation in her heart: What's the big deal?
A few days later, just when the couple was gradually losing hope, Ji Ruochu suddenly gave them a surprise.
"Ma~ Open~" The little one crawled to Ling Chujin holding a piece of candy in her hand, looking at her expectantly with her eyes.
......
The latter fell silent for a few seconds, then blinked and asked tentatively, "Ruoruo, what did you just call me?"
"Open~" Ji Ruochu played dumb.
"Who's opening?" Ling Chujin took the candy in her hand, her eyes full of anticipation.
Ji Ruochu: ......
"Ma~ Open."
To Ling Chujin, this soft and tender voice was simply the most wonderful sound in the world.
"Okay, open. Mommy will open it for our Ruochu."
Seeing Ling Chujin's reddened eyes, Ji Ruochu felt a little guilty. Was she...going too far?
"Oh my, mommy has such a bad memory. Ruochu, we can't eat candy now." Having been bewitched by her daughter calling her mommy, Ling Chujin instantly came back to her senses.
Ji Ruochu, who had just used it as an excuse to call "ma", blinked her eyes and didn't make a fuss. She just looked at her milkily.
"......" Ling Chujin felt a little guilty but still hardened her heart to take the candy away. "Really can't eat it. Like this, mommy will keep it hidden for you first. When baby grows up, you can eat it then, okay?"
After saying that, she carried Ji Ruochu to the toy area without waiting for the little one’s response, wanting to divert her attention.
And so, when Ji Mochen, who had finally finished his schedules and came home at night, pushed open the door, what he saw was his daughter calling "ma" so smoothly. At that moment, the old father almost cried.
So...the situation where only he was left out still hasn't changed, has it?
That day, a post appeared on a certain forum, titled: My baby never calls me daddy, what should I do? 【Reward 10,000 coins】
Within a few minutes, many "experienced people" had joined the discussion.
Post 1: OP, are you not often at home? If the child is unfamiliar with you, of course she won't call you.
Reply: Yes, I'm quite busy and can only stay at home one or two days a week. Now the child is one year old. Apart from daddy, she calls everything else very fluently.
Post 2: OP, consider cancelling some work. The growth stage of children is very important. It's enough to have money to spend. Don't miss out on this stage of hers.
...
After communicating with the netizens, Ji Mochen felt their analysis made a lot of sense. So he gave a reward to some of the highly rated replies before calling his agent directly to say the core message: I want a vacation.
Agent: ?? If I remember correctly, you only did three jobs this month, right?
