Chapter 20: Because of the Daughter
"Opple, what is this?" Melissa pulled out her phone and found a picture of the tiger.
The baby in small pajamas sat on the bed, looked at the mobile phone handed over by his mother, and said, "Yellow cat." ”
Catherine also found the picture of the lion and handed it to the baby, "Opple, tell Grandma, who is it?"
"Gray cat, gray cat is the big badass, hit Dad. The baby shouted excitedly waving his little fist.
Catherine's family looked at each other and thought it was still incredible.
is not only a simple story of Zhang Dawei fighting with wild beasts, but also includes the fact that there are no wild lions in the United States.
Finding the picture of the leopard, the baby smiled and fell into his mother's arms and said, "Mommy, the flower cat has no kittens." ”
Babies must have seen these beasts, and you can tell from their names. But Melissa really hard to imagine that there were wild lions and wild tigers in the Rocky Mountains.
The baby doesn't know this, she is happily playing games with her mother.
Now Grandma is playing the 'Yellow Cat', and the baby is happily being held by his mother. The little girl covered her mouth and shrunk in her mother's arms, looking very devoted, and asked her mother to hold her close to the 'yellow cat'.
"Mommy, the yellow cat is angry and coaxes the yellow cat to sleep. ”
The baby sat up all of a sudden, very dissatisfied with the performance of the 'yellow cat'.
Although the baby is not particularly fluent in speaking, the little girl knows a lot of things. Under the direction of the little guy, Melissa's family knew more clearly the story of Zhang Dawei taking the baby to find those beasts.
Obviously, the so-called 'cats' are all beasts, and the so-called 'sleeping' is basically Zhang Dawei holding them down or knocking them out. As for what the baby said, 'the cat and the father fought', this can well explain the reason for Zhang Dawei's scar, that is, the traces left by the battle.
The baby sitting on the bed is tired and looks like it's going to sleep. But the little girl has been reluctant to sleep, the little girl who rubbed her eyes looked around, and her little mouth began to deflat.
Xiaobai, who was napping on the bed, also began to scream anxiously, and he stopped sleeping.
Melissa sighed, she knew that this little girl was her daughter, and she wanted to sleep with her in her arms. But she knew that even if Op was very affectionate to her, she was more used to being with her father, and when she wasn't by her father's side, the little girl couldn't sleep at all.
Seeing Zhang Dawei lying on the sofa, the baby immediately burst into tears and laughed; the little girl was just held in her father's arms, and immediately happily reached out to hug her father's neck, very relieved.
Xiaobai was also carried to the sofa, although the sofa was relatively narrow, Xiaobai took care of himself and leaned on Zhang Dawei's side.
"Good night. ”
The baby lay on Zhang Dawei's chest and fell asleep immediately. And Zhang Dawei looked at Melissa and said with a smile.
Melissa looked at Zhang Dawei with complicated eyes, then at her daughter, whispered goodnight and returned to her room.
Zhang Dawei slept very steadily and peacefully with the baby, and Xiaobai slept very soundly on Zhang Dawei's pillow. But Melissa couldn't sleep at all, and her parents talked late into the night, and Joshua slept soundly.
Catherine woke up, and she had been waking up early to make breakfast for her family.
looked at Zhang Dawei lying on the sofa and opened her eyes and smiled, because the baby was still sleeping, she was lying on Zhang Dawei's chest, looking like she was drooling a lot......
"She wakes up late in the morning, and if she wakes her up, she will be upset. Zhang Dawei gently touched the baby's little face and whispered to Catherine.
Catherine looked understanding, because she had two children, "Melissa was like that when she was a child, every time she was woken up, it was a war. Joshua didn't like to sleep as a child, but now he likes to lie in bed more and more. ”
Xiaobai raised his head, looked at Catherine, and then continued to lie on Zhang Dawei's pillow and sleep peacefully. Even if he woke up, he didn't get up, because the big and small masters didn't get up, so Xiaobai naturally didn't get up.
Melissa also got up, and Zhang Dawei moved down slightly. Melissa sat on the couch and looked at the baby's cute little face.
Even if Melissa hasn't thought about how to be a qualified mother now, it doesn't affect her wanting to know more about her children, she wants to get back that lost memory, that time with Op.
"She likes to drool a lot?" Melissa was a little amused, looking at Zhang Dawei and said, "Is it uncomfortable to sleep on your stomach?"
"I drool a lot, as long as I sleep on my stomach, I will definitely drool. But she doesn't sleep on her stomach much, unless she wants to be spoiled or too crowded. Touching the baby's little face, he said confidently, "In fact, it is normal for children to sleep on their stomachs, and there will not be many adverse factors for growth, so there is no need to worry." ”
Melissa nodded, because she really didn't know how to take care of children, "She's smart, she's only a year old, but she can talk a lot and understand what we mean. It's a little genius, and she even remembers me!"
Zhang Dawei is full of pride, his child is naturally a genius, he is really smart, much smarter than other children!
"How long does she sleep each day?" Melissa said with the corners of her mouth upturned, looking at the baby's long eyelashes happily, "Her eyes are very similar to yours, and your eyelashes are long." ”
Zhang Dawei's heart moved, throbbing inexplicably. It seems like a normal family, it seems like a normal atmosphere, it's young parents talking about parents, talking about their children, talking about how much their children look like sleeping.
"I usually don't wake up until 8 o'clock in the morning, but sometimes I cry and I don't have a good temper when I wake up. Zhang Dawei laughed and said to Melissa, "I have to take a nap for about two hours in the afternoon, and now she has a lot less time to sleep." Sleep more at a few months, and of course babies are like this, sleeping most of the day. ”
Melissa stared at Zhang Dawei and asked, "Is life in the mountains hard?"
Gently patting the baby's little buttocks, Zhang Dawei didn't speak, and he didn't want to discuss this topic.
There may be hardship, despair, etc., but Zhang Dawei feels that it is all in the past, and he is very grateful for that period of life. Not because he's almost a humanoid beast now, but because he has a cute baby.
"Sleep!" the baby didn't open his eyes, not to say anything with a crying voice, and reached out to grab his father's nose more naturally, "Sleep." ”
Giving Melissa a look to feel for herself, Zhang Dawei sat up. The little girl grabbed her father's nose with one hand and put the other hand on her father's shoulder, she still slept soundly, but she didn't get up anyway, even if she was taken to wash.
Xiaobai jumped off the sofa and followed Zhang Dawei in the same direction, and it also woke up.
Zhang Dawei got busy, finished washing the baby, and put the little girl on the sofa. The baby who has not fully woken up sits on the sofa, holding Xiaobai and still can't get up. And Zhang Dawei began to be busy making milk powder, stuffed it into the baby's hand, and handed it to Xiaobai's mouth.
Melissa laughed, watching the baby's eyes still closed, slowly falling on the sofa, really couldn't help laughing. Xiaobai is also very cute, it is trying to lean on the back of the sofa, holding the bottle with two front paws, a good child sitting and drinking milk, compared to the baby lying on the sofa with his eyes closed and drinking milk, Xiaobai's movements are more well-behaved.
Paul and Catherine looked at Zhang Dawei, because Zhang Dawei had been busy since he woke up, and he seemed to be very skilled in taking care of the child, and he didn't need other people's help at all, and he didn't have to be in a hurry at all.
Looks, he's really good.
"In the future, you will bring Op here once a week, will you agree?" Melissa walked up to Zhang Dawei, pretty, but there was no doubt about it, "I can also go to the farm, and you have to promise that I can see my daughter every week." ”
Although there was pressure from the economic situation, Zhang Dawei agreed without hesitation, "Of course, I promise." I promise you'll see her, and I think the baby misses her mom too. ”
Melissa was a lot more relieved, because some of these visits were too frequent, and she was originally worried about Zhang Dawei's refusal. But it's good, Zhang Dawei didn't refuse, so that she could have the opportunity to see her daughter more.
"I go to see Opp on my holidays and I don't want to miss the big moments in Opp's upbringing, I've missed a lot of them, so I don't want to miss them anymore. Melissa looked at Zhang Dawei and said seriously but also a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm still studying, I don't have any financial income......"
Zhang Dawei interrupted Melissa's words, although he has been in the United States for a few years, Zhang Dawei still has some machismo in his bones.
"There's no need to say sorry, I'm very grateful that you were able to see my daughter more. ”
Melissa was upset, glared at Zhang Dawei and said, "This is my daughter!"
Well, Zhang Dawei and Melissa both have their own reasons, and they also take it for granted. Although the two of them are a little awkward when they are together, they seem to be able to understand each other because of their daughter.
Not for any other reason, just because of their daughter, just because they love their daughter!
