Chapter 1390: Extra Nineteen: Wanhua Festival
Spring passed and autumn came, and in the blink of an eye, the chubby daughter—oh no—Xiao Wan had already turned two. Initially, to give the chubby daughter a good name, Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan racked their brains, but in the end, it was Mo Qingze who made the final decision, settling on the single character "Wan," taken from the phrase "The lush bamboo charmingly graces the green pond, while the delicate lotus floats above the jade-like ripples."
"Wan" signifies beautiful jade, representing all beautiful things. In Mo Qingze’s eyes, his granddaughter was the embodiment of beauty, worthy of the best of everything, and he cherished Xiao Wan deeply, even more so than his own son MoHan who was born on the same day as her.
However, two years had passed, and the chubby daughter remained plump, utterly overwhelming her little uncle in body mass. As long as the chubby daughter stood in front of her little uncle, she could block him completely, not even a hem to be seen.
Fortunately, despite her chubbiness, she was in good health; from birth until now, she had not even sneezed once, and her chubby whiteness was beloved by all who saw her, with none not fond of her.
Initially, Mo Yan worried that the chubby daughter would become increasingly plumper. When the chubby daughter was just half a year old, she secretly reduced the feeding frequency. Normally needing to be fed six times during the day and three at night, she didn’t dare to reduce the night feeds, afraid that the chubby daughter would cry too fiercely and alert her father, so she reduced the daytime feeds, cutting out two all at once.
Of course, when the chubby daughter was hungry, she was bound to fuss. Although she was soothed gently and placated by her unscrupulous mother, her father found out at night—and how he discovered it... heh heh!
Xiao Ruiyuan, distressed for the chubby daughter, knew he could not sway Mo Yan’s determination to put her on a diet, so the next day he went to his father-in-law and, beating around the bush, revealed the helpless situation of the chubby daughter’s mother putting her on a diet.
That very afternoon, after work was over, an incensed Mo Qingze stormed to the General Mansion, scolding Mo Yan who was consoling his hungry crying daughter to the point she was covered in bumps, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out again.
