Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, putting the flower he was holding onto the little baby's ear, which made the flower-adorned baby look especially cute.
The little baby already resembled a porcelain doll and was the only girl in their family; naturally, Lin Yi was filled with affection for her.
"Mengmeng, don't cry, Daddy was just teasing you!"
As Lin Yi spoke, he reached for the little baby's armpits and smoothly picked her up.
Seeing Lin Yi, the little baby couldn't help but smile, bobbing her small head adorably.
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile as he watched her.
Da Bao was being held by Han Xuewei at this time, and Er Bao was looking around.
Han Xuewei, seeing Er Bao, crouched down to look at him.
When Er Bao saw that Han Xuewei was not holding him, he immediately reached out to grab Da Bao's diaper; Han Xuewei, seeing this, said, "Okay, Mommy will hold your brother first, then I'll hold you."
After Han Xuewei had finished speaking, Er Bao seemed to understand and looked at Han Xuewei with a pitiful cry.
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help feeling a bit helpless and immediately joined in, saying, "Then let Daddy hold you."
Lin Yi held the little baby to one side and extended his other hand, finding it not difficult at all to hold two children at the same time.
However, when Lin Yi reached out his hand, Er Bao displayed a look of disgust.
Seeing her look of disdain, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Why do you disdain Daddy? Then Mommy won't hold you either."
Lin Yi was joking, but Er Bao acted as if she understood and immediately started crying at Han Xuewei.
Everyone who saw this burst out laughing.
An aunt immediately found a pacifier for Er Bao and even picked her up.
Er Bao then looked at Lin Yi triumphantly, as if she had won a victory.
Actually, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh at Er Bao's demeanor, and Han Xuewei also watched Lin Yi with a smile, holding Da Bao and pinching his little cheek, saying, "When these kids are still young, we wish they would grow up faster. But when they actually do grow up, that's when you realize that they are the sweetest at this age."
Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing.
"Indeed, at this age, kids are the sweetest, but taking care of them can be troublesome too. Holding her like this, I'm even afraid of hurting the little baby!"
As Lin Yi spoke, he tenderly held the little baby in his arms.
At this moment, he turned to look at his mother, who had lifted Er Bao entirely in the air, pinching Er Bao's armpits and suspending her vertically.
Er Bao's little face turned red, and she seemed uncomfortable, but she couldn't express it.
Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately spoke up, "Mom, that's not the right way to hold her. Look, Er Bao's face has turned red. Holding her like that can hurt the child's spine and waist. You should hold her horizontally, like I do."
Han Xuewei had noticed too, but as a daughter-in-law, she felt a bit embarrassed to criticize Mother Lin for holding the baby incorrectly.
So she thought for a long time, planning to let Er Bao endure it for a while, then to quietly take Er Bao into her arms later.
But unexpectedly, Lin Yi spoke out directly at that moment. Hearing Lin Yi's words, Mother Lin was also a bit surprised, furrowing her brows and holding Er Bao in her arms.
"Kids these days, so sensitive. I held him just like that, and he didn't cry or make a fuss. Kids don't even have waists. I held you the same way when you were little."
Mother Lin was not convinced by Lin Yi's words and directly scooped Er Bao into her arms.
At that moment, after hearing Mother Lin's words, Lin Yi directly spoke, "Mom, you really can't do this with kids nowadays. It's not about being capricious, but it can be bad for their bodies. If you occasionally hold them like this, it's okay. But if it's done for a long period, it will definitely be detrimental. Now we have to raise children scientifically!"
Upon hearing this, the nearby aunt nodded her head in agreement.
"There really is a lot of little knowledge in parenting!"
Mother Lin indeed realized her own issue. She was not the type to be obstinately unreasonable. Upon hearing that this kind of behavior might harm the baby, she immediately corrected herself.
Back when Lin Yi was little, in fact, she rarely took care of him because they had hired a nanny to look after him due to business matters.
Moreover, so much time had passed since then, and she had forgotten many of the details, but as long as it was good for the baby, that was all that mattered.
However, at this moment, Er Bao looked at Han Xuewei, fussing to be held by Han Xuewei.
Han Xuewei had no choice but to put Da Bao into Lin Yi's arms and reached out to pick up Er Bao.
At this time, Er Bao looked like a victorious little warrior, shaking his little arms.
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. Da Bao, on the other hand, was well-behaved and stayed still while being held in Lin Yi's arms.
He simply stretched out his hand and touched Mengmeng's little cheek.
Mengmeng reciprocated the touch, and as soon as her little hand reached Da Bao's chubby cheek, she pinched it.
Da Bao immediately burst into tears with a "wah." Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately grabbed Mengmeng's hand and revealed a fierce expression as he said, "Mengmeng, big brother was just touching your face, he didn't hit you. You can't hit people. Do you hear me?"
Seeing Lin Yi so serious, Mother Lin, who was standing by, wanted to speak up and intervene, while Han Xuewei's face showed a look of surprise.
Lin Yi was very serious at this point since it was important for children, even very young ones, to learn to discern right from wrong.
At that moment, Mengmeng, looking like a child who had done something wrong, stretched out her little hand and touched Da Bao's head as a way of apologizing.
By then, Da Bao had stopped crying and looked up at Lin Yi.
Mengmeng, looking pitifully at Lin Yi, knew she had made a mistake. In fact, these babies were quite smart and would correct their behavior as soon as they were told.
Seeing this, Lin Yi touched Mengmeng's little hand and said, "Good Mengmeng, Daddy's not angry with you, just telling you that you can't do that."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Mengmeng made babbling sounds as if she understood.
The surrounding people finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time they had seen Lin Yi get angry with Mengmeng. At that moment, Han Xuewei couldn't help but start laughing.
"The little guy understands everything, as long as you're patient enough to teach them!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi also smiled. They were all very good.
Just then, Mother Lin took out her camera and said, "Come on, everyone look at the camera, I'm going to take a picture of you guys!"
The babies were excited, while Lin Yi smiled and gathered Han Xuewei and the others close together to pose for the photo.
Mother Lin took several photos one after another, each one very warm. When the pictures were developed, Han Xuewei immediately took them in her hand to show Lin Yi and the three babies.
The three babies seemed to understand as they looked at the photos and laughed, while Lin Yi also joined in the fun with them.
