Lingxi, who had lived in Xiamen for more than a year, was pregnant again, and the good news came without warning.

Although the country has opened up the two-child policy, the busy work and young son called the couple did not think about the problem of children anymore, not to mention the danger of the last birth still made Xiao Yun deeply palpitated.

After the prenatal check-up, Yan's family meeting was held in the living room that night.

Cheng Lingxi cared about Xiao Nian's opinion very much, hugged him and asked, "Do you want a younger brother or sister?" ”

Xiao Nian blinked his big eyes and thought seriously for a few seconds, and then said bluntly: "I want my sister, I don't want my brother." ”

Xiao Yunshen couldn't help but be amused, and had to admit that this was his own son.

"How can you say that?" Lingxi insisted on refusing to know the child's gender in advance, she touched his head and reasoned: "The point is that it is a new member of our family, I can play with you and grow up with you, and you must also care about it and love it, because you are an older brother." ”

Hearing the words of his brother, Xiao Nian's eyes lit up, and he changed his words: "If you want it, I want to be a brother!" ”

Looking at his ignorant son, Lingxi couldn't cry or laugh, but he also understood that he should not be an only child, maybe he would know how to love and share better, not to mention that in the future life, there will always be times when parents can't accompany her, and when Xiao Nian has company, it is more or less a reassuring thing for her.

Taking advantage of this, Xiao Yunshen hugged the naughty ghost over: "This is what you said, it is very hard to conceive a baby, so before you become an older brother, you are not allowed to be angry with your mother again, and you are not allowed to tire her anymore." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Nian struggled with her little short legs and was super curious: "Is my sister really in my mother's belly?" ”

"It's all said, it's not necessarily my sister!" Lingxi really didn't know what was going on with the father and son, so he got up in vain: "In this case, I'll go to sleep, and you guys will be responsible for walking the dog and cleaning." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Nian immediately saluted and immediately jumped on the carpet to chase the corgi.

Xiao Yunshen straightened up from the sofa, looking at his wife's thin back and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but he didn't know how to help balance her work and life.

――

The five-year-old child is in the stage of being extremely curious about everything, Xiao Nian circled around his father this night, asked countless questions about the little baby, and finally Mr. Xiao finally coaxed him to bed, and was pulled by his son's little hand at the corner of his clothes.

"It's already nine o'clock, and if you don't sleep again, you won't be able to get up tomorrow." Xiao Yunshen pinched his face helplessly.

"Daddy." Xiao Nian asked seriously: "Is it true that if you have a sister in the future, you will dislike me even more?" ”

Xiao Yunshen was slightly stunned and then replied in surprise: "How can Dad not like you?" ”

Xiao Nian whispered: "You always take care of me, you don't care about my mother, only my mother can eat ice cream at night......"

Completely unable to figure out his son's way of thinking, Xiao Yunshen smiled and pinched his little nose: "You are a man, your mother is a girl, of course I have to be strict with you, and also, don't always talk about your sister, because it may also be a younger brother." ”

"How likely is it?" Xiao Nian frowned.

"Half and half." Xiao Yunshen turned on the night light for him.

"Then if it's a younger brother, will you also take care of him?" Xiao Nian asked if his treatment was fair.

"Of course, and you're going to teach him with me." Xiao Yunshen smiled.

"I still like my sister." Xiao Nian didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly showed a stupid smile: "Hehe." ”

"If it's my sister, you'll have to protect her for the rest of your life, you know?" Xiao Yunshen asked rhetorically.

Xiao Nian nodded vigorously, and was aggrieved: "I don't have a brother to protect me......"

"Daddy will protect you, don't let anyone hurt you, and love you forever." Xiao Yunshen comforted.

Xiao Nian looked entangled, and finally solemnly announced: "You, you still protect your mother, I'm a man!" ”

"Good, man." Xiao Yun deeply attached himself and kissed his son's little face: "Good night." ”

"Good night." Xiao Nian closed his dark eyes, and finally quieted down like an angel.

Xiao Yunshen sat on the edge of the bed for a while, until he fell asleep, and then closed the door lightly and left.

――

"I knew you couldn't have rested so early."

After returning to the bedroom, Mr. Xiao raised his eyes and saw his beloved wife leaning on the bedside flipping through the book, and shook his head helplessly.

Lingxi hurriedly closed the program book and smiled: "I squinted for a while, but I woke up again just now." ”

Xiao Yunshen lifted the quilt and sat beside her, sighing with complexity.

"Xiao Nian is asleep?" Lingxi tilted his head.

"Yes."

"Thank you."

"What's so hard about this, he won't be happy to take care of us in a few years, while he can still enjoy his family."

"Won't there be a smaller one then?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yunshen reached out and hugged her into his arms: "Lingxi, do you really want this child?" ”

Cheng Lingxi's eyes widened, and then he understood the worry he had for himself, and said lightly: "People can't be too greedy, they can't have this, and they don't let go of that." ”

Xiao Yun kissed her long hair deeply and said, "I'm afraid that we will invisibly force you to make a choice." ”

Cheng Lingxi took his hand: "No one forced me, my choice is only you, from the beginning." ”

These years of life can be described as happiness.

Of course, the husband and wife have also experienced some twists and turns, such as the poor operation of the company, such as the sudden illness of the child, such as all kinds of troubles from various relatives in their hometown, but they have never quarreled, even if it is a sentence or two, and now almost no one believes in the feelings of raising eyebrows, and even Xiao Yunshen himself will occasionally worry about this luck, so he is always trying his best to cherish it, for fear of letting Lingxi endure the slightest grievance.

"Actually...... I really want a daughter, too. The expectant mother began to laugh again: "When I see a small skirt when I go shopping, I will also want to buy it, and Xiao Nian is too naughty, maybe I will become more sensible with my sister." ”

"He's smart, when have you ever seen a smart person be honest?" Xiao Yunshen defended his son.

"Yo." Lingxi looked at him and showed his dimples: "It's good that you two are here now." ”

Xiao Yun kissed her deeply: "Okay, I don't want to do this, as long as it's our children, I like them, the most important thing is that you have to take care of your body and can't have any mistakes." ”

Lingxi slammed down the hand he put into his nightdress, blushed and said, "Hey, how do you say one thing and do another?" The doctor can warn you today. ”

Xiao Yunshen's face was full of wronged: "I just want to touch the child." ”

"Really...... Lingxi let go in disbelief, and then was shamelessly attacked in the chest because of his own naivety.

Even if she is an old husband and wife, she is still the kind of shy and introverted character, and she immediately struggles shyly: "You are a big liar!" ”

Xiao Yunshen smiled and pressed his wife to the bed: "It is also the responsibility of a father to check the food for the child." ”

"Don't say it, you hooligan......" Cheng Lingxi was busy covering his mouth, but unfortunately he had little strength, so he could only be helplessly bullied by him.

Xiao Yunshen smiled and kissed her on the lips, and said the love words he couldn't hold back for the umpteenth time: "I love you." ”

Lingxi's cheeks were powdered, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

Xiao Yunshen propped up his body again and gently kissed her bare lower abdomen, as if he was saying the most gentle greeting to the unborn child.

――

I don't know if the expectations of the whole family are too strong, but after the pregnancy in October, she was born really a little princess.

That day, the Women's and Children's Hospital was a mess, relatives and friends from all sides kept visiting, and finally Teacher Xiao was so angry with them that he asked the extremely tired Ling Xi'an to sleep.

After elementary school, Xiao Nian was impatiently taken to the rest ward by her grandmother, and kept jumping after entering the house: "Where is my sister, where is my sister?" ”

Xiao Yunshen sighed.

Noticing her mother who was still asleep, Xiao Nian shrunk her neck, and then excitedly went to the crib and stood on tiptoe.

The little girl who had just come into contact with this world fell asleep motionless, weak and pure.

Xiao Nian frowned: "Dad, why does my sister look like a monkey?" ”

Li Xiuyun, who was cleaning up diapers, smiled: "You were like this when you were young, just grow up." ”

"Really?" Xiao Nian stretched out his arm to touch his sister's little hand, and the soft touch made his eyes widen in surprise: "Huh? ”

Xiao Yunshen turned around and saw it, and immediately picked up his son: "Wash it before touching it, otherwise she will get sick." ”

"What's my sister's name?" Xiao Nian kicked his legs excitedly.

"Xiao Meng." Mr. Xiao had already thought of a name with a bad intention.

"Mengmeng! Brother will come to see you later, brother go wash your hands! Xiao Nian immediately said matter-of-factly.

Lingxi, who was woken up, couldn't help but laugh.

"Mom, it's hard work, let me take care of my sister in the future!" Xiao Nian is much more precocious than children of the same age, and sweet words come as soon as he opens his mouth.

Lingxi closed her sour eyes, hummed, and fell asleep quietly like her daughter.

――

After the little Meng Meng gradually grew, she soon showed her innate cute girl attributes, with a round face and big eyes, a smile revealed a deep dimple, and she saw who let her hug her, and finally realized her daughter's dream Teacher Xiao was a dad at home when he was free, with a happy aura all day long.

But no matter how crazy he is, he can't compare to Xiao Nian, the demon king who protects his sister, the little guy doesn't play with toys anymore, and he doesn't eat snacks, he revolves around the baby every day, just hoping that she can call himself a brother.

"Good morning, Dad." On the morning of the weekend, Xiao Nian gave up lying in bed, and was so sleepy that she stumbled and said, "What about Meng Meng?" ”

"Eat first." Xiao Yunshen is frying eggs in the kitchen, and his current cooking skills are barely exquisite, so he can fool this kind of ghost.

"I'm going to take a look at Meng Meng first." Xiao Nian was not satisfied.

Just happened to Lingxi to come back from watering the flowers in the yard with her daughter in her arms, and couldn't help but chuckle: "You see how much my brother likes you." ”

Xiao Meng was only a few months old, her head was tied with a bow, and when she saw Xiao Nian, whose hair was like a chicken nest, she immediately began to giggle.

"I want to hug!" Xiao Nian jumped straight on the spot in a hurry.

"No, what if you fall her?" Xiao Yunshen put the omelette and bread slices on the plate and persuaded, "Eat quickly." ”

"I want to hold the cute !!" Xiao Nian instantly began to cry without thunder and rain, and didn't listen to anything.

Lingxi was so helpless that he could only squat down and say, "It's embarrassing for you to do this again, are you embarrassed to let my sister see that you love to cry so much?" ”

Xiao Nian held back instantly, and his mouth was still pouting.

"Come, you sit here with her, and mom goes to the bath." Lingxi put Xiao Meng in the cradle next to the table.

Xiao Nian calmed down at this time, climbed onto the chair and began to drink milk honestly, and from time to time made various grimaces at his sister, having a lot of fun.

Originally, Xiao Yunshen was still very worried that he would not be able to adapt to the change of identity from an only child to an older brother, but now it seems that it is more practical for him to think more about how to keep the position in his daughter's heart.

"Dad, I'm going to marry Mengmeng!" Xiao Nian began to talk childishly again, and the concept of marriage in his mind was still at the stage of being with his favorite girl forever in the world.

Teacher Xiao, who was drinking coffee, almost squirted, frowned and said, "My brother and sister can't get married, you are her brother." ”

Xiao Nian was stunned, the tears she had just collected finally burst out of her eyes, and she let out a miserable scream in the restaurant: "I don't want it, I don't want Mengmeng to marry someone else!! ”
