Chapter 1126: Father and Son
On the first day of Alice's departure, Meng Huo returned home earlier than usual.
Before he entered the door, when he was walking in the yard, he heard the cry of the baby coming from the room. Meng Huo accelerated his pace and walked into the room, and then saw Li Qin comforting him with the child in his arms.
"This little guy is crying again?" Meng Huo asked.
"Maybe I miss my mother." Li Qin turned around and saw him and smiled, "Why did she get off work so early today?"
Meng Huo put down the file bag: "I made an agreement with Alice that she would go home early when she was away." He picked up a rattle toy from the table and asked, "Can you use this to make him happy?"
"No need, I'll hold it for a while, and he won't cry after a while." Li Qin shook her head.
Meng Huo had to put the toy down again. The old lady beside him looked at his movements and said, "It just so happened that Alice was not here, you have to learn to take care of this child. He had a day off today."
"I've had a day of trouble?" Meng Huo was surprised. This was even more serious than usual: "Can't it be a cold?"
"No, he is fine, he is just thinking about his mother." Li Qin said: "Jie'er can recognize people now, and she must be a smart child after going to school."
Meng Huo was stunned: "No, how could he recognize people so soon."
"You don't even understand your own son. Alice has just left and he has cried for a day today. Do you think you recognize someone?" Li ♂t Qin smiled.
"But wasn't it the same when Shen Jie left last time? This little guy just knew that the person who hugged her had changed..."
Meng Huo said that when Shen Jie left, Meng Jie also cried for a long time. That was because Shen Jie used to take care of her children for the longest time. She spent together day and night. She didn't have that familiar embrace for a while. Meng Jie would naturally cry.
Obviously, Alice has the same reason. Although Alice has been playing games every day these days, she has not played games for a long time after all, and she takes up very little time every day. Apart from games, she has nothing else to do, and basically put most of her energy on her children.
Meng Huo thought that the reason must be from here. Meng Jie met Alice and Shen Jie's arms, not because she knew them.
However, when Li Qin heard Meng Huo's answer, she looked displeased: "You have the nerve to say that he knows who is holding him, don't he know who is the closest to him? You, a father, are not even as good as your grandmother."
"Isn't that a matter of course?" Meng Huo thought to himself. Of course, he is not as good as those of them. They are with their children all day long. Meng Jie must be so smart that he will know how close to him.
However, just when Meng Huo wanted to say these words to Li Qin, his cell phone ringed.
"Hey... Well... it doesn't matter... I have no objection... Just do what you think..." Meng Huo received a call from Dong Ding.
After chatting for a few minutes, after Meng Huo finished the call, the old lady asked: "Are you in any trouble?"
"No. The phone call just now was given to me by Dong Ding, and he told me about Lisa." Meng Huo did not hide it from the old lady.
Dong Ding told Meng Huo about the cooperation between Angel and Jingyue. He seemed to be a little worried that his actions would make Meng Huo unhappy. However, Meng Huo was not disgusted. Zhongxia should be like this. Instead, he hoped that Dong Ding could focus on improving Zhongxia's performance without restraint. Only in this way can he catch up with Phoenix Company.
Meng Huo is now the owner of Zhongxia Company, and his ideas have also changed a little. It is normal for Dong Ding to report to him. As for the possible consequences of the cooperation between Angel and Jingyue, Meng Huo also has some expectations. Perhaps the cooperation between the two can bring to the comics industry and what changes he has brought.
He longs for change, whether it is good or bad, the world without change is too boring.
"...Don't talk about work when you get home." Li Qin was still dissatisfied with Meng Huo's attitude just now and said, "You should learn how to be a father. I'll leave Jie'er to you to take care of him tonight."
"Ah?" Meng Huo was stunned and asked him to take care of the child. He didn't have this confidence. Meng Huo looked at the old lady, hoping that she could persuade Li Qin.
The old lady thought for a moment, but unexpectedly nodded.
"It's good, Meng Huo, after you finish drawing the comics in the evening, you will take the child back. Your mother is right, it's not enough to take care of the child alone by women."
Considering the future growth of children, the old lady also hopes that Meng Huo can spend more time on him.
While eating, Alice also called Meng Huo.
"get off work?"
"Well, I just got out of here. There are a lot of things happening today. Is Jay okay at home?" Alice asked about the child as soon as she opened her mouth.
Meng Huo glanced at the child sleeping in the nanny's arms: "He is asleep now. I heard from my mother that he cried for a day because he missed you today, and he was tired of crying."
"Is that right... I miss him too. I always feel empty when I didn't see him after get off work... Meng Huo, you have to take good care of him. He is very weak, so pay more attention in daily life."
"I know, don't worry." Meng Huo replied while thinking, Alice really feels like being a mother like this.
"Alice?" Li Qin heard Meng Huo's phone call, put down the bowl and chopsticks, stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the phone number and I'll talk to her."
Meng Huo handed the phone to her with a little concern, thinking that Li Qin wouldn't want to complain about her bad things.
But obviously he was too worried. Li Qin would scold him in front of him, but she rarely talked about him in Alice's ear. She just told Alice about the child's condition, and she said it very in detail. Meng Huo could feel that she was comforting Alice.
Li Qin also took her cell phone to the child and made a video call for Alice. From the video, you can see Alice's happy look on her face. Seeing this scene, Meng Huo found that she was really unable to understand the woman's thoughts.
He always thought that Alice was a very strong woman and rarely showed her feelings. Unexpectedly, she missed her children so much after leaving for a day.
"This is the first time she has left the child..." After returning the phone to Meng Huo, Li Qin said: "Do you think she won't miss him for the life that comes out of her body?"
Meng Huo was speechless, or he underestimated the relationship between mother and son. How important this child is. He can understand rationally and thinking, but often he cannot deeply understand it.
"Maybe I really have less contact with him..." Meng Huo thought so, maybe it was because he was always immersed in work. In the comics, he lacked the same mood as Alice.
He no longer refused Li Qin's proposal to hand over the child to himself. After finishing the evening's comic, Meng Huo took the child from Li Qin's hand and had a bottle.
"I'll go to bed first. When he's about to cry, you'll feed him this. It's probably because he's hungry. He won't cry when he's eating."
Li Qin carefully told Meng Huo how to feed the child and how much it takes. She had predicted in advance that the child would definitely cry.
Sure enough, Meng Huo took the child back to the room, and Meng Jie suddenly burst into tears.
He put the child into the cradle in the room in a panic, and handed the bottle over, just like what Li Qin said. As soon as he touched his mouth, Meng Jie naturally stopped crying, opened his mouth and bit it.
"I'm sure I am my son. I'm quite smart!"
Meng Huo breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the situation. Raising a child was not as troublesome as he thought. This little guy was very quiet and well-behaved when drinking.
Meng Huo felt very fresh, and after drinking the milk, the little guy quickly fell asleep again, and did not worry Meng Huo at all.
He took a shower and came out and saw that the child was still sleeping. He turned off the light and went to bed to rest.
It was certainly impossible that the night passed like this. Before Meng Huo could go to bed, he woke him up again after a loud cry.
"I guessed it wouldn't be that simple." Meng Huo got out of bed, picked up the child and started to coax it, but it was useless. Meng Jie's crying became louder.
"It's not that I want to pee..." Meng Huo had an idea and came to the bathroom with the child in his arms, but for a while he showed no sign of peeing.
Meng Huo reached out to tease his little brother, then whistled for a while, but still didn't pee. Meng Jie cried for more than ten minutes before falling asleep again.
Meng Huo carefully put him back to the cradle, but just after falling asleep, Meng Jie started crying loudly again.
"This little guy is really hard to serve!" Meng Huo stood up again and started to coax, but his coaxing efficiency was indeed not high. In the end, Meng Jie stopped and cried.
Afterwards, for a few hours, Meng Jie tossed Meng Huo back and forth five or six times. He was really impatient and put the child on the bed. Unexpectedly, after putting it on the bed, Meng Huo walked by and watched for an hour, and the little guy stopped crying.
He began to sleep with peace of mind. This time he slept for a long time, but he was finally woken up by the crying sound.
"Little ancestor, so why are you...hey hey!!!"
The little guy wet the bed, but this time he really wet the bed.
"Can you be careful?"
Li Qin was quarreled in the middle of the night. She brought Meng Huo the child's clothes to change and said, "You can change your room to sleep tonight. I will ask the servants to wash the bed sheets tomorrow."
"Why did he pee suddenly? He didn't say anything in advance." Meng Huo put on Meng Jie's clothes.
"Where will a child tell you in advance that he wants to wet the bed?" Li Qin said with a hilarious look: "This is how children are. Wetting beds is common, and there are still some waiting in the future!"
"Then why does this problem rarely occur when Alice ribbons?"
"When she brought her, she often wet her pants. Didn't you notice that Alice sometimes has to change clothes a day?"
Meng Huo was stunned: "But sometimes she would take her child to sleep with me, and she didn't see him wet the bed..."
"That's because she calculated correctly. She will only bring him to you after Jae pissed." Li Qin laughed at Meng Huo and said, "She can do such things. How much she loves you!"
Meng Huo's face felt a little hot: "No, I can't take good care of this little guy. Mom, you'd better do it."
"That's because you're not attentive." Li Qin glanced at Meng Huo: "I'll hand him over to you tonight. Look, don't he crying much behind him?"
Meng Huo looked at Li Qin in surprise. How did Li Qin know that Meng Jie didn't cry much behind her? Did she not sleep?
"Mom, did I do this before?"
"When you were born, you were much naughty than Jie'er..." Li Qin smiled and said, "I want to throw you away every day, day and night, several times."
Meng Huo's face was really hot: "I was really like this before?"
"Isn't it? I've lost several jobs." Li Qin sighed. It would be better if I didn't say anything about the past: "You are my son. No matter how troubles you make, I have to raise you..."
Meng Huo was silent.
"Okay... I will take good care of him tonight..." He looked down at Meng Jie who was sleeping. Compared to Li Qin back then, his current situation was really not qualified to complain.
"Looking at your helpless look, I will teach you a secret... What children are most afraid of is that there is no adult to accompany him." Li Qin said: "When Jie'er cries, you should touch him more and let him feel your presence. Although he can't speak, he can feel you. As long as you take him seriously, he will calm down."
Meng Huo nodded.
After Li Qin left, he carried the child to another room. This time he did not put him in the cradle at the beginning, but placed him on the bed.
"Alice is usually like this..."
Meng Huo was holding his head in the bed, watching the child, and sleeping with Alice with the child came into his mind.
Alice would occasionally bring the child to his side. She would put the child between the two and then instruct Meng Huo not to suppress the child.
“…”
Meng Huo looked at the baby under the light, felt his inhalation and exhalation, and watched his body tremble slightly with his breathing.
Meng Huo's vision softened. This was a life. He was not an object that gave birth to his relationship with Alice, but a real life.
“…children…”
Meng Huo seemed to have something touched in his heart. He stared at the baby and watched the expression on the baby's face gradually change slightly from calm.
"He is about to cry." Meng Huo thought to himself, and intuition reached over and gently hugged the child. No crying came, and Meng Jie's expression returned to his usual appearance.
"This is the action...Alice has been doing all the time."
Meng Huo suddenly realized that his actions just now were exactly what Alice often did. She was not so bored that she wanted to hug the child, but that she wanted to make him feel her existence.
What Li Qin said is true...
Meng Huo once wondered why Alice said that she couldn't push the child and wanted to take him to bed. Since she was afraid of hurting the child, why did she put him beside her?
"No one is by his side, he will be lonely... So that's it, a simple guy... what my mother said is true..." Meng Huo seemed to have grasped the trick, and he could feel that Meng Jie's aura was calmer than before.
