It was New Year’s Day.

The house seems extra lively because of the addition of a little baby.

Zhang Lan worked late into the night to make a red brocade cotton jacket for Wang Mujia.

It looks particularly beautiful when worn on him, and people love it as soon as they see it.

On New Year’s Eve, it was already very late after the New Year’s Eve dinner, and Wang Mujia fell asleep in a daze.

Chen Kejia put him on the bed and let him sleep well.

The adults continued to keep watch and chat. Zhang Lan distributed all the New Year's money, including some to Wang Mujia. Since Wang Mujia was sleeping soundly, the money was temporarily kept by Chen Kejia.

It was twelve o'clock at night.

Wang Mujia climbed up.

Chen Kejia put on new clothes and shoes for him.

Fireworks were set off outside and the starry sky was brilliant.

Wang Jianye carried Wang Mujia to the yard. Looking at the beautiful fireworks in the sky, Wang Mujia's eyes were bright.

Wang Jianwu took out the fireworks he bought and was about to set them off when Wang Jianye hugged Wang Mujia away and said to him, "Cover your ears."

Wang Mujia understood what was said and covered her ears with her arms.

His little hands were tucked into his sleeves, making it difficult for him to stretch them out.

Chen Kejia covered his ears for him.

Pull~
Snapped! ! !
Wang Mujia pointed at the firework in the sky excitedly.

Wang Jianye smiled and said to him, "Son, it's New Year's Day."

Chen Kejia also smiled and said to him, "Happy New Year, son."

Wang Mujia imitated the adults and bowed, with excitement in his eyes.

……

When Jia Dongxu saw that Wang Jianye's son was much more handsome than his own son, he felt very dissatisfied.

So he worked day and night, hoping that Qin Huairu would give birth to another handsome son for him. He must surpass the past!
After Jia Dongxu worked so hard that he was exhausted, Qin Huairu finally became pregnant again.

Jia Dongxu took good care of Qin Huairu this time and took the initiative to share some of the housework. He wanted Qin Huairu to take good care of her pregnancy and give birth to a handsome son in the future, preferably one who would be more handsome than Wang Jianye's.

……

There is a tradition in the city of Sijiu that when a child is one year old, the "Zhuazhou" ceremony is held.

A piece of red cloth was spread on the ground, and on it were placed dictionaries, brushes, rulers, abacus, RMB, seals, mirrors, basketballs, chopsticks, small shoes, toys, food, screwdrivers, straw, and so on, all kinds of things.

Get things ready this day.

Wang Jianye, Chen Kejia, Zhang Lan, Wang Jianting, Wang Jiannan, Wang Jianwen, Wang Jianwu, Chen's father, Chen's mother, Chen Xiaobao and others were all there.

Of course, there is also the most important protagonist of today, Wang Mujia, who is wearing a beautiful and festive red cotton-padded jacket, surrounded by his whole family, and is laughing non-stop.

After all the things for the one-year-old ceremony were laid out, the whole family gathered around.

Wang Mujia walked towards the red cloth filled with various things.

Under the gaze of the whole family, he grabbed the dictionary on the red cloth, sat down on the ground and started flipping through it, reading with great interest.

Dictionaries represent intelligence and culture.

Everyone was very happy to see Wang Mujia grab this.

"It seems that our little nephew will definitely be an excellent student in the future."

"Well, he must be good at studying. This child is very smart. You were much smarter when you were younger."

"Sister, what did I catch when I was a kid?"

Chen Xiaobao asked curiously.

Chen Kejia thought for a moment and said, "I remember you grabbed an orange and stuffed it directly into your mouth. This means you will be a greedy child in the future."

Chen Xiaobao understood. This is quite accurate. "When my brother-in-law was a child, did he grab chopsticks or kitchen knives?"

"This one……"

Chen Kejia had never asked this question, so she asked Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan recalled: "He grabbed money. I remember it very clearly." Catching money during the "Zhuazhou" ritual means being rich.

Now Wang Jianye has grown up, become successful and famous, and has real money.

Today is Wang Mujia’s one-year-old birthday.

Wang Jianye and Chen Kejia's parents, brothers and sisters all came here.

After Wang Jianye bought some vegetables and did his weekly necessities in the morning, he started to cook.

Two large tables were soon made.

After all, there are so many people that one table can’t accommodate them all.

The meals prepared by Wang Jianye are all of state banquet quality, so they naturally taste very good.

They have eaten Wang Jianye’s dishes many times, but they never get tired of them. After all, the food is of extremely high quality and tastes great.

All the delicious food on the table can be eaten by adults or little adults, but Wang Mujia, who is only one year old, definitely cannot eat it.

Wang Jianye made some baby food for him, which was also of state banquet quality. After eating it, he could get various bonuses. It was specially fed to him by Chen Kejia.

But when he saw the other dishes on the table smelled so good, much better than the light baby food in front of him, he pointed here and there, drooling with greed.

While feeding him, Chen Kejia advised him that he would be able to eat delicious food when he grew up.

He also said that if I eat more now, I can grow up one day earlier.

Wang Mujia couldn't speak yet, but she obviously understood what Chen Kejia meant.

She opened her little mouth and ate the food in the spoon that Chen Kejia handed to her.

……

Under normal circumstances, girls can say some simple reduplications of words, such as dad, mom, grandpa, grandma, etc. at 18 months old and boys at 24 months old.

When Wang Mujia was just a few days old, Wang Jianye taught him to call dad.

Until now, he is 18 months old, one and a half years old.

Wang Jianye said the word "Dad" to Wang Mujia countless times, but Wang Mujia either had no reaction or just said "eh" or "oh" in agreement.

Seeing Wang Jianye's face turn dark, Wang Mujia showed his little teeth and laughed, which made Wang Jianye suspect that this boy agreed on purpose.

"Dad is going to work, can you call me dad?"

After breakfast and before going to work, Wang Jianye squatted in front of Wang Mujia and said habitually.

Wang Mujia blinked: "Dad... Dad."

Ok?
Wang Jianye was as if he had received an electric shock, and said in surprise: "Jia Jia, come quickly! He called me Barbara!"

Chen Kejia came over and asked in surprise: "He called you dad?"

Wang Jianye nodded excitedly.

Chen Kejia looked at Wang Mujia a little aggrieved: "You haven't called me mom yet..."

"Um... Mama, mom?"

Wang Mujia scratched his head and cried out.

Chen Kejia was very surprised and danced with joy. This was the first time the child called her "Mom". It had been so long and it was not easy.

Wang Mujia saw Chen Kejia's happy look and called out again, "Mom."

"Ahhh-"

Chen Kejia was so excited that she hugged Wang Mujia into her arms and kissed him on the face. "What did you call mom just now?"

"Mom~"

Wang Mujia wiped the saliva from his face and screamed again.

This made Chen Kejia even more excited and she kissed him on the face.

After Wang Mujia wiped it, she pushed Chen Kejia's face with her hand in disgust: "Mom!"

There was still dissatisfaction in his tone.

Chen Kejia said to Wang Jianye excitedly, "Did you hear that? The tone of his voice when he called out 'Mom' was very dissatisfied. He is only one and a half years old but he can express his meaning so clearly. He is really amazing. When my brother was one and a half years old, he couldn't even call mom and dad."

Wang Jianye, who was supposed to go to work, lost interest in working after seeing his son's progress. He just wanted to stay at home with his child. (End of this chapter)
