Chapter 148
"Itchy, mommy, Zhengzheng's tummy feels so itchy."
"Then let's cover Zhengzheng's tummy with clothes, and it won't be itchy anymore." Shen Yin adjusted Zhengzheng's clothing properly.
Zhengzheng was two weeks and three months old now, and Shen Yin decided that she couldn't waste Zhengzheng's intelligence. As the saying goes, parents are a child's best teachers, so she thought she'd teach Zhengzheng some knowledge first.
But then she reconsidered and decided on early education games instead.
Shen Yin immediately went online and searched for some early education games for two-week-old babies, including games to train memory and physical abilities.
Shen Yin recalled her own childhood, well, she had no memories before the age of four or five, except for going to pick pears from the tree in her uncle's backyard with her cousin, and then falling off. Both of them were chased and beaten by her grandfather.
A clearer memory was her grandfather teaching her martial arts.
There were all sorts of early education games online, and Shen Yin found them quite interesting.
"Zhengzheng, how about we play a game together?"
"Okay."
"This game is called 'Body Parts and Their Uses'. I'll point to different parts of your body, and you tell me the name and what it's used for, alright?"
"If Zhengzheng answers correctly, will there be a reward?" Xu Yunzheng looked up expectantly for Shen Yin's response.
Shen Yin smiled. This little kid already knew how to bargain at such a young age? And he even knew to ask for rewards, just like his father Xu Xiuhe.
"What kind of reward does Zhengzheng want?"
"Mommy, will you promise Zhengzheng?"
Shen Yin dared not agree rashly. Nine out of ten times, this kid would probably want meat for lunch as a reward. If she promised but couldn't deliver at lunchtime, wouldn't that be going back on her word in front of the child?
"Let mommy guess what reward Zhengzheng wants, okay?"
Zhengzheng nodded.
"Does Zhengzheng want to have some meat for lunch?"
Zhengzheng opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He hadn't said anything, so how did his mommy know?
"Mommy, how did you know? Mommy is so amazing."
"Because Zhengzheng is mommy's precious baby, and we share the same blood flowing through our veins, so mommy understands Zhengzheng and can immediately tell what Zhengzheng is thinking."
"Then why can't Zhengzheng know what mommy is thinking?"
"That's because Zhengzheng is still little. When Zhengzheng grows up, he'll be able to know what mommy is thinking too."
Zhengzheng nodded, half understanding and half not. "Mommy, can you promise Zhengzheng then?"
Shen Yin shook her head and chuckled, "Baby, we can have it once your tummy isn't itchy anymore."
The little one looked a bit disappointed, but recovered a few seconds later, saying, "Mommy, let's play the game. If Zhengzheng wins, he gets rewarded with reciting a poem."
Shen Yin: "Hmm?" What a treat that would be. It seemed her little treasure was eager to learn.
"Let's start the game." Shen Yin pointed at Xu Yunzheng's nose.
"Nose."
"What's the use of a nose?"
"Zhengzheng's nose can breathe."
"Besides breathing, what else is it used for?"
Xu Yunzheng sniffed his nose and said, "Besides breathing, I haven't smelled any fragrance yet."
Shen Yin then pointed at Zhengzheng's eyes.
"These are eyes. Eyes can see people. If I cover them, I can't see mommy anymore." Xu Yunzheng covered his eyes with his hands.
"Anything else?"
"Eyes cry when they're not happy."
"Hahahahaha." The child's description was so amusing that Shen Yin laughed for a while before saying, "It's not that the eyes are unhappy, but rather the heart is unhappy, and the eyes express that. The eyes, you see, are the windows to the soul. Eyes are extremely, extremely important for us, so Zhengzheng must protect his eyes well."
"Windows to the soul?"
