Chapter 580 A person lives up to his name
It is a hot summer day and even the draft is hot.
There was an ice jar in the room to cool down, making it much more comfortable than outside, but Meng Jinyao was still listless. She leaned on Gu Jingxi, enjoying his service, and opened her mouth to eat the iced grapes that were fed to her.
The next moment, she glanced at her son, who was as cute as a young boy. The little guy was sitting on a mat on the ground fiddling with toys. She was instantly so worried that she lost the mood to eat a grape.
Gu Jingxi noticed her subtle emotional changes and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Meng Jinyao sighed, looking somewhat frustrated: "Husband, do you think our son is a little stupid? Mother said that you are very intelligent and can learn anything quickly, and I am not stupid either, so how could I give birth to a little idiot?"
Little fool?
Gu Jingxi glanced at his son. The little guy was so cute. Although he sometimes disliked the little guy for stealing A Yao's attention, he still liked him in his heart. He didn't think that such a cute little guy was stupid. He was very puzzled: "Why did A Yao say that?"
"Aning's son could talk before he was one year old, and he started walking when he was one year old. Our Wanwan turned one year old three months ago, and not only can she not talk, she can't walk either." Meng Jinyao became more and more melancholy as she spoke, with her head drooping. "Earlier this year, Ayan gave birth to a daughter. She is so pretty. The more I see her, the more I like her. But our Wanwan is stupid, and Ayan's daughter will probably look down on her in the future. Aning's son has a good chance, that little guy is so smart."
Hearing this, Gu Jingxi understood. No wonder A Yao looked a little listless after coming back from a party with her sisters yesterday. At first he thought it was because the weather was too hot, but now he realized it was because his son was too stupid. Princess Jingning's daughter would probably look down on their son in the future, so they could not become relatives with Princess Jingning.
He comforted her, "Ayao, every child is different. When the time comes, he will naturally become smart."
Meng Jinyao was silent for a while, then said, "But I'm always a little worried. How about asking a doctor to take a look?"
Gu Jingxi nodded: "If you are worried, ask the imperial physician to come and see him tomorrow."
Meng Jinyao nodded and looked at her son again. She saw that he was looking at her. His bright eyes were staring at her without blinking, which made her heart melt. Her heart softened instantly. She raised a loving smile and waved to her son: "Little fool, come to your mother."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that she was embarrassing her son, as her son could not walk, so she stood up and prepared to pick her son up.
Unexpectedly, the next moment she saw the little guy crawling up with his hands on the ground, and after standing firmly, he walked towards her steadily.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still. The couple stared at their son walking towards them step by step, feeling surprised, happy, and a little bit unbelievable.
After a while, the little guy walked up to Meng Jinyao, grabbed her skirt, tilted his head back, and called out in a baby voice, "Mom."
Meng Jinyao's eyes moistened instantly. She squatted down, picked up her son and kissed him. As if she wanted to prove that she had heard correctly, she coaxed him softly, "Wanwan, be good. Call me mother again."
The little guy called out again: "Mom."
Meng Jinyao turned her head to look at Gu Jingxi, with a look of joy on her face: "Husband, Wanwan can speak now, he is not a little fool."
"Well, Wanwan is not a little fool." Gu Jingxi's mouth curled up, and his inner joy was indescribable. He was afraid of scaring the child, so he restrained his excitement. He just reached out and touched his son's head, and said softly, "Wanwan, call daddy?"
The little guy called out again obediently: "Dad."
Gu Jingxi responded, then took his son from Meng Jinyao's arms and walked out.
Seeing this, Meng Jinyao's smile froze, and she was a little confused. She didn't understand what he was going to do, so she asked, "Husband, where are you taking Wanwan?"
Gu Jingxi replied: "Go find my mother."
When Meng Jinyao heard this, she hurried to follow. Wanwan could talk and walk now, so it was time to let her mother see her. Then she could let Wanwan call her grandma. Her mother would definitely be happy to hear that.
Madam Gu was tending to the potted plants. When she saw her son, daughter-in-law and the child rushing over, she thought something had happened and asked hurriedly, "Yao Ling, A Yao, you left in such a hurry. Did something happen?"
Gu Jingxi put the child down, pointed at his old mother, and said to his son, "Be good, Wanwan, go call grandma."
The little guy looked at his parents blankly, then glanced at his grandmother, and finally took small steps towards his grandmother, calling out in a baby voice, "Grandma."
"Oh, my dear grandson."
Tears welled up in Mrs. Gu's eyes. She squatted down and picked up the little guy. She couldn't hold back her tears and burst out. She had never thought that she would be able to hold her grandson, but God took pity on her and let her hold her grandson. Now her grandson can talk and call her grandmother.
The little guy didn't know why his grandmother was crying. He turned to look at his parents, a confused look on his little face.
Meng Jinyao was stunned when she saw this. It was the first time she saw her dignified and steady mother-in-law lose her composure in front of the younger generation. She hurriedly stepped forward and said in a soft voice, "Don't cry, mother. I will worry about you every day." After that, she took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears of her mother-in-law who was in tears.
Mr. Gu stopped crying and burst into laughter: "I am so happy. In the blink of an eye, our Wanwan can walk and talk now."
Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "Wanwan seems to be a little late in walking and talking. I saw other people's children who could talk before they were one year old, but Wanwan turned one three months ago and can neither walk nor talk. Not long ago, I was worried and suspected that I had given birth to a little fool."
Madam Gu said, "Wanwan stayed in your belly for a few more days before coming out. It's normal for her to speak and walk later than others, but it's not a big deal. I just saw that Wanwan's steps are very steady and her pronunciation is clear. She doesn't lag behind other children just because she came out later than some other children."
Hearing this, Meng Jinyao also remembered this. The child's nickname was Wanwan, and it was because the child was delayed in coming out that she gave him this name. She reached out and gently pinched the little guy's face, saying angrily and amusedly: "Wanwan, it seems that I was right to give you this nickname. You really live up to your name."
"Mom, hold me."
After the little guy said this, he stretched out his hands towards his mother.
Meng Jinyao reached out and hugged the child, and coaxed the child to call her, as if she could never hear enough. That afternoon, the three elders surrounded Wanwan and talked to him.
The little guy was really tired after dealing with three adults. He called out "Mom" again and fell asleep in Meng Jinyao's arms.
