Chapter 2 Steps

The biggest event of that year, apart from Jiaqi talking, was Jiaqi's weaning.

Around that year, when I took Jiaqi home, Aunt Bao Juan told me that Jiaqi was ready to wean, and then I could feed her some pasty foods such as millet porridge or porridge.

I was a little surprised to hear the news, feeding Jiaqi every day, almost numbing me, I didn't expect that there would finally be a day when Jiaqi would leave the bottle that had been with her for more than a year.

That night, I immediately made my own millet porridge at home to feed Jiaqi. I'm used to living alone, so it's not a problem to make some millet porridge or something.

Watching Jiaqi swallow my homemade millet porridge one by one, I wanted to scream.

Of course, Jiaqi didn't eat a lot of millet porridge, maybe it tasted too bad, or maybe it was because she wasn't used to eating this strange thing for the first time, Jiaqi just ate a few small spoonfuls and didn't want to eat it, but fortunately I still had some milk powder left at that time, so I fed her with milk powder. Sure enough, as soon as there was milk, she immediately opened her appetite, sucked it up, and drank it cleanly.

Seeing Jiaqi's appearance, I only had a wry smile.

So for the next period of time, I fed Jiaqi millet porridge and milk at the same time. Then gradually reduce the amount of milk to get her used to millet porridge. Once or twice, I bought grapes and came back, and when I went back to the seeds, there was only a bit of soft grape flesh left, and Jia Qi took it in her mouth and chewed it, but I actually swallowed it. Since then, I noticed that Jiaqi seems to be particularly fond of eating grapes, so I bought them for her several times.

In this way, time flickered, and it was the end of that year.

Just when the end of the semester was approaching, one day I went to Aunt Bao Juan's shop to pick up Jiaqi as usual, but I was surprised to see Jiaqi standing at the door of the store, two little feet swaying forward!

Jiaqi can actually walk!

"Kiki!"

I was overjoyed to see that Jiaqi could actually walk, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to pick up Jiaqi from behind.

Although Jiaqi is much older than a year ago, Jiaqi's body is still very light, and she is gently hugged by me.

“papa……”

Jiaqi, who was caught off guard and held in my arms by surprise, reacted for a long time, a delicate little white face faced me, the dark black pupils were as clear as a pool, and the mouth was as small as a slit, and Jiaqi spit out a subtle call.

I touched Jiaqi's little face and listened to Jiaqi's call, but my heart was very happy.

That day was the first time Jiaqi could walk.

Since Jiaqi learned to walk, she has become more and more lively and mischievous. Whenever she saw something new, she would scream, and then walk up with her two little legs, looking around, and even I gradually couldn't control her.

By the time of the winter vacation that year, under the education of Aunt Bao Juan and me, Jiaqi had gradually been able to speak some simple words. For example, she likes to eat candy very much, so she calls candy "sugar candy". When she wanted to eat, she would slurred and say "Wanwan", but she still called me papa, which gave me a headache, and even Aunt Bao Juan was a little strange at first, why Jiaqi called me papa.

Seeing that Aunt Bao Juan was suspicious, I hurriedly began to teach Jiaqi to say "brother", but Jiaqi seemed to have always been very ignorant of calling me brother, maybe she didn't understand why she wanted to call a person "papa" and "brother" at the same time.

However, with my persistent efforts, I finally got Jiaqi to change her words, at least for the time being, she didn't call me Papa when I was outside, but because Jiaqi's pronunciation was not clear, she always called me "dog (brother)" in a slurred voice.

Dog?

Well, I'll admit that I'm such a failed educator.

And just like that, another year passed in the blink of an eye.

Before she knew it, Jiaqi was more than 2 years old.

In the next few semesters, it was generally peaceful, although I still told the lies of the boarding students, although I still lied about my father Jiaqi, and although my grades still fluctuated greatly, nothing particularly major happened.

The only feeling is that Jiaqi is getting bigger and bigger, and she can be carried in the side basket of the bicycle, but now she is a little tight in her arms.

And Jiaqi is becoming more and more beautiful. As time passed, Jiaqi's hair grew longer and longer, and the strands of hair, which had been slightly yellow due to thinning, had now turned into black hair, which reached the side of her ears.

Since Jiaqi's hair has grown, I have an extra task when I bathe her in the future, and that is to wash her hair. Jiaqi didn't really like the feeling of her hair getting wet, and she yelled every time she took a shower, so I had to hurriedly rinse her with a shower head and dry it with a hair dryer.

Oh, by the way, Jiaqi is particularly interested in hair dryers, and every time the hot wind blows from the hair dryer, she will reach out her little hand excitedly, as if she wants to grab something.

Watching Jiaqi grow day by day, I always felt that I was growing up with it, as if my life was going through again.

Because another year passed, I finally got to the third year of high school. At the end of the second half of the second semester of high school, the school divided the regular version and small classes, and concentrated some of the top 10 students in the class into small classes.

However, because my grades were only in the middle of the class at that time, I was not qualified to be assigned to the small class. It's just that what I didn't expect was that my dad happened to be a former middle school classmate with the vice principal at the time, and as a result, my dad personally went to the school and talked to the vice principal for a few words, and I was actually placed in the small class of liberal arts.

During the three years of high school, I changed classes almost every year, and the classmates I knew were so different every year, and because of this, I basically didn't have many deep friends and classmates in these three years. The classmates who had a slightly better relationship in the first year of high school were estranged after the liberal arts and sciences were separated, and the classmates who finally became familiar with each other in the second year of high school were separated because of the small classes, and in the end, I actually didn't have a few close friends. It's really a sad thing.

Regarding the assignment of me to the liberal arts class, I was actually quite dissatisfied with my father's actions, because after all, my grades were not too outstanding, and after I arrived in the small class, there were all a group of cattle there, and I must have been under a lot of pressure.

But Dad actually used the old saying that pressure is the motivation to send me away, so that I was helpless in the end.

In fact, in terms of academics, my dad really attaches more importance to me, although he is a busy person, but in his spare time, he still often talks to me about some study topics. He often said that the current world is not what he was back then, and now he goes out by diplomas and academic qualifications, not by the courage and luck he had back then.

Although these words sound reasonable, you will get tired of hearing too much.

Especially every time my father talked to me about studying, he used these words to teach me, and I didn't feel anything after a long time.

Sure enough, the first test after arriving at the small class, my grades were the last in the class, although not the first, but also into the top ten, in front of those high-score perverts, because of taking care of Jiaqi and distracted I don't know how much study energy I didn't know was not an opponent at all, and naturally fell.

At that time, I was quite devastated, in the second year of high school, although my grades were not top-notch, but basically I could hover in the twenties, and sometimes I could get into the top 15 or even the top 10 with good luck, but after I got to the small class, it was all about ability and hard work.

Looking at the rankings on the report card, I was like a lightning strike at that time, and I was depressed for a long time.

Of course, my dad didn't say anything about my ranking, because it seemed like he had expected it a long time ago. Originally, I didn't rely on my own strength to enter the small class, but relied on relationships, and it was already good to be able to get to this ranking.

I was depressed for a while, but time will wear away the scars, and as time went on, I gradually became less downcast.

In the third year of high school, because the college entrance examination is approaching, we are very nervous about studying, and there is very little extracurricular time left for us.

As far back as I can remember, my senior year of high school was basically spent in piles of homework and practice questions.

At that time, I had to juggle Jiaqi and my studies, and it was already very difficult.

The best evaluation of those days is eight words: in full swing, dark and dark.

In my memory, the biggest highlight of my senior year of high school was the girl sitting in front of me.

Maybe it's really a bit of fate, Qian Lulu, who used to be a classmate in the first year of high school, actually became my classmate again in the third year of high school, and sat in front of me, what surprised me even more was that Qian Lulu actually became the class president. I was really surprised.

Because I thought that she was so good at math that she should study science, but I didn't expect her to study liberal arts instead, which made me feel incredible.

I remember one time, I once asked Qian Lulu inadvertently.

"Hey, why are you still studying liberal arts when you're so good at math?"

Who knew that Qian Lulu answered me as a matter of course: "I chose the liberal arts because I had an advantage in mathematics." Many students choose liberal arts because they are not good at mathematics and physics, so I have an advantage when I study liberal arts. ”

Sure enough, it's not ordinary thinking. However, I have long known that Qian Lulu is a girl who is not bad at arts and sciences, so in fact, there is no big difference between arts and sciences for her.

When I was in my third year of high school, I often didn't have time to do my homework because I took care of Jiaqi, and at that time, I would often borrow homework from Qian Lulu to copy. At first, Qian Lulu was reluctant, but later lent me at my request, but as time went on, Qian Lulu regretted it again, because the number of times I borrowed homework from her was too much, to the point that it was beyond her expectations.

Finally, one day, when I borrowed homework from her, she couldn't help frowning and asked me, "Hey, why are you always ...... I won't borrow you anymore. ”

"I'm sorry...... Always bothering you to borrow your homework. I'll figure it out on my own after that. "Seeing that Qian Lulu was unwilling to borrow my homework, I was embarrassed to ask her for it again, so I simply stopped.

"I'm not talking about you, I'm asking you why you don't do your homework? I see that you are still quite serious in class, and you shouldn't know how to do your homework." ”

"Hehe, this ...... I just took my classes seriously, and I was lazy when I got home. "In the face of Qian Lulu's questioning, I had to casually perfunctory. I can't tell her I have a two-year-old girl to take care of every day when I come home, right?

"Ah, really, what are you doing when you go home? If you don't study, your parents don't care about you?"
