Old Injury - Chapter 77
Song Xiao came back once when Ning Xi was full moon, stayed for more than ten days, and left soon. This time he went further and flew directly to the other side of the ocean, saying that he was going there to photograph migratory birds.
Every time I go to a new place, he will send a postcard back, sometimes I get two or three a month, and each one will write a short greeting to us and the next purpose place name.
He is like tireless, to make up for all those missed and lost, more energetic than young people. In just one year, he traveled all over the American continent, and finally returned to Xiangtan when Ning Xi was one year old, like a migratory bird returning home.
Song Mo was very happy to see his grandfather, and the two shared their experiences over the past year like friends. Song Mo talked about anecdotes from school, and Song Xiao told him about the strange scenery he saw along the way. The common topic of the two was Song Ningxi, who was babbling.
Regularly reporting on her sister’s growth is also one of the homework Song Xiao left to his grandson.
Song Mo Kaimeng is very early. Although he is only 7 years old, his reading and writing skills are very good, and he can use chat software proficiently. Grandparents and grandchildren often exchange information, one shows each other the bird he took, and the other shows his sister. And compliment each other.
Once I accidentally saw the chat screen of Song Mo and Song Xiao, Song Mo admired Song Xiao’s bird and said, “This bird is so beautiful, grandpa, you are amazing!”
Then Song Xiao praised Song Mo’s younger sister and said, “The angle of my sister’s fall is really good, and Momo is also amazing!”
The two of them were more powerful and humbled each other. They went back and forth for more than a dozen times. In the end, Song Mo was embarrassed to admit that he seemed to be more powerful.
“My little sister can talk, she can call my parents and my brother, she’s smart.”
Song Mo hugged Ning Xi and sat beside Song Xiao, and from time to time took her hand out of her mouth. The child grows faster and faster, and has more and more skills. Now that her eyes are not on her, she doesn’t know what will happen in the next second.
As soon as I entered the house yesterday, I found that she wanted to “break out of prison”, but due to her short legs, it was embarrassing to ride on the guardrail.
She was having a headache. As soon as she looked up and saw me, her eyes lit up, biting the pacifier and making a vague “mother” sound.
I sighed and carried her back to the guardrail, and told Song Bailao and Song Mo about it during dinner.
Song Bailao was very excited after hearing this, and after eating, he took Ning Xi back to the “criminal scene” and asked her to do it again.
Lotus-like white and fat legs stepped over the guardrail, Song Mo dutifully took pictures on the side, recording the wonderful moments of her sister.
“Sister is amazing, she will hurdle!”
The shutter sounded constantly, Ning Xi might have seen her brother’s excitement, couldn’t bear to lose her excitement, tried to maintain her balance, and even smirked at the camera.
But her power is only the power of a little baby after all, too weak, she can’t hold it any longer, and her whole body will fall down.
I hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up, but Song Bailao was already ready, reached out and grabbed the clothes on her back, and lifted her up easily.
Ning Xi’s panicked expression has not yet faded away, when she saw Song Bailao, she laughed again: “papa?”
Song Bailao also smiled at her, showing her white teeth, and put her back into the guardrail in the next moment, turning her head and ruthlessly instructing Sister Nine: “Raise the guardrail.”
The little baby in the diaper grabbed the gap of the guardrail with both hands, and looked very helpless and blank. And Song Mo was still taking pictures on the side.
“What’s the first word my sister will say?” Song Xiao smiled and rubbed the top of Ning Xi’s soft hair.
This time he came back, his face was radiant, he was a lot more cheerful, and his relationship with Song Bailao was more natural.
The fissure still exists, but it is slowly healing.
“It’s ‘brother’!” Song Mo swayed his legs, joy was written on his face, “I taught her for a long time.”
“Really? Mo Mo is really good. I’ll try to teach her how to call her ‘grandpa’ later.” Song Xiao looked longingly, “I really want to hear my sister call her grandpa.”
Ning Xi would also say “sister” and “bad”, every time she fell or hurt, she would point to the wound and complain, “sister, bad.”
If Song Bailao was a little harsh when facing her, she would point to Song Bailao and complain to me, saying, “Dad is bad.”
In her opinion, “bad” should be those things she doesn’t like.
“Okay, I’ll start teaching my sister tomorrow.” Song Mo said.
“Then we’re done.”
“The meal is ready.” I interrupted the conversation between the two of them, went up to pick up Ning Xi and said, “Let’s eat.”
Song Mo got off the sofa and jumped to the restaurant: “I want to sit next to Grandpa!”
Ning Xi’s birthday banquet was not very grand, but held a small cold dinner party at home, and invited relatives and friends to the scene. There were only twenty or thirty people in total.
Liang Qiuyang was out early to attend his goddaughter’s birthday party. I didn’t even mention it, he took the initiative to say that he would sing at the birthday party and sing a mix of nursery rhymes.
In addition to bringing her own gifts, Luo Mengbai also brought gifts for Luo Qinghe. It was a beautiful pink princess dress.
Luo Qinghe is currently busy with official business. Not long ago, he submitted an application for a bill to the Speaker of the Congress, which caused an uproar among the people.
He attempted to remove the glands of the alpha and omega, but was quickly dismissed by the council for lack of statistical data.
Although the proposal was refuted, it should have caused a lot of public opinion.
Those who support him are more fanatical, those who oppose him hate him deeply. But I think that might be the effect he’s trying to cause.
At present, he has obtained the trial approval from the government ethics committee, and the trial will last for three years. If the surgery passes clinical trials three years later, gland removal may become popular, and the freedom of divorce between alpha and omega will be just around the corner.
This test will be undertaken by two research institutions, one of which is the laboratory under Luo Mengbai.
“Uncle has been busy recently, he said he would come to see my sister in two days.” Luo Mengbai handed the gift to the servant and explained to me.
Whether he’s really busy or he doesn’t want to bump into Song Xiao, no one knows except himself. But this is also good, lest they disagree and quarrel.
The cake for the birthday party was made by me in two days. It has four layers and is decorated with spring flowers of various colors made of buttercream. From top to bottom, it looks like a gorgeous velvet blanket.
Before cutting the cake, Song Bailao pretended to have someone spread a stall on the grass, put a lot of the four treasures of the study, abacus perfume and other things, and asked Ning Xi to catch Zhou.
A circle of adults gathered around, staring at the little baby in the middle.
She sat there, looked at this, looked at that, took two steps, and picked up a note.
“Sure enough, she looks like a father, with business acumen…” Before anyone could finish her praise, she threw away the money in disgust.
Crawled around again and picked up a lipstick.
Liang Qiuyang immediately said: “My sister will be brilliant in the future, maybe she will become a big star…”
The lip balm was also discarded before it was finished.
After that, the film, rolling pin, and paintbrush were all treated the same. She was interested in everything and lost interest in the moment she picked it up.
Just when everyone was numb, she picked up another thing – a baseball bat.
Song Mo recently joined the school’s baseball team. This is his baseball bat. heavy.
She blushed, trying hard to lift the stick, finally lifted it a little, and then made a move that shocked everyone present.
She knocked down the doll on the blanket.
I’m sure she is not unconscious, she basically smashed the doll’s head, and after the doll was successfully smashed and flew out, she stood up trembling with a baseball bat, screaming and laughing , look not to mention how excited.
“Uh…she will definitely be a good hitter.” Luo Mengbai broke the silence and made a dry beautification.
I heard Song Bailao chuckle softly next to me, then leaned into my ear and said, “She does look a lot like me, so I don’t need to worry about her being bullied in the future.”
Are you talking about fights?
This is simply not wanting to be biased. Before Ning Xi was born, I was worried that her character would resemble Song Bolao, but now it seems that she has inherited Song Bolao’s violent gene perfectly.
I will be a little bully in the future.
I can’t even laugh: “Cut the cake.”
Song Bolao took me to Ning Xi and picked her up from the ground.
“The Zhou Catching Ceremony has ended successfully, and my daughter will be an excellent ‘athlete’ in the future.”
The guests burst into laughter.
Lloyd Song Bai and I held the baby’s hand, grabbed her and made the first cut on the cake.
In the second half of the birthday party, Ning Xi began to feel sleepy. She twisted her eyes with her hands and kept yawning, so I asked Sister Nine to take her back to sleep.
Liang Qiuyang sang the whole night, he was so hilarious, I don’t know why he was so hilarious when he sang nursery rhymes.
Song Bailao and Luo Mengbai were chatting aside, he came to me.
“It’s so good…” He ate the cake on the plate, “Everyone is so happy.”
“Yeah, that’s great.” I leaned against the fence of the yard and looked at Song Mo who was playing with other children not far away, and the “old children” who were very dazzling among them. Watching them laugh and play, my heart feels strangely peaceful.
This may be what Liang Qiuyang called “happiness”. It’s not violent, and it doesn’t have any sense of existence. It’s flat and light, as common as the water you drink every day, and as rare as the sunshine of Hexi in winter.
May not be able to perceive it clearly at ordinary times, but when I look back one day, I find that it has penetrated into every corner of life.
“I also want to have a daughter, a daughter like Momo.”
I felt strangely looking at Liang Qiuyang beside me: “A daughter like Momo?”
He bit the spoon: “Why, no? I like Momo and girls, so I want to have a daughter like Momo. Why is Luo Mengbai also Momo’s cousin, There should be a good chance of giving birth to a child like Momo, right Xiaoyu?”
This…I don’t know. Song Ningxi is also Luo Mengbai’s cousin and niece, but her personality is not “momo” at all.
After hesitating, I finally couldn’t bear to hit him and gave a vague “um”.
After Liang Qiuyang left the stage, the band played a soothing dance song, which was very suitable for dancing.
On the lawn in the center of the venue, many couples were already swaying gently. Liang Qiuyang said that he also wanted to dance, so he left me and went in the direction of Luo Mengbai.
I saw that Luo Mengbai readily agreed without hesitation, and was then pulled into the dance floor by Liang Qiuyang.
Song Bailao put the champagne glass aside and walked towards me slowly.
“My charming gentleman, may I have the pleasure of asking you to do a dance?”
He stretched out his hand and bowed slightly.
I stared at his hand, so it was difficult: “I can only dance the men’s step.”
Although he said that, he still gave his hand to him.
He held my hand firmly and led me forward: “It doesn’t matter, I can jump women’s steps.”
