It was really awkward to talk about this, especially in front of his sister-in-law.
Yang Yi looked at Xi Xi's curious big eyes and said helplessly, "Of course dad is like a boy … because dad is also a boy!"
"But, but …" Xi Xi still wanted to say something.
"Okay!" Yang Yi rubbed the little girl's head and didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "If you have any questions, let's talk about it when we're home. It's dinner time now, so don't talk about this."
"Okay …" Xi Xi said regretfully. She still wanted to continue. It seemed like there was still a chance to talk about this topic.
It wasn't easy to appease Xi Xi, but the faint awkwardness lingered in the hotel room. After lunch, Mo Xiaojuan excused herself and left early.
Anyway, Yang Yi was back, so she didn't need to accompany Murphy anymore.
At noon, after Xi Xi went to bed, Yang Yi went to the bedroom next door. Murphy was lying on her side on the bed, softly humming a song to coax Tong Tong, who was a little noisy and still wanted to play, to sleep.
The little fellow looked quite adorable when he was asleep. He placed one hand on his stomach and the other on his side. Then, he turned his little face in the direction of his mother. His pursed little lips were slightly raised. Perhaps he was very happy when he fell asleep while listening to the music.
Seeing that Tong Tong had fallen asleep, Murphy breathed a sigh of relief. She carried the little guy to the crib and then lay down beside Yang Yi with peace of mind.
"I didn't know that Xi Xi would be so curious about Mommy's nipples." Murphy pulled Yang Yi's hand over so that she could snuggle in his arms. Then, she looked at Yang Yi's side profile and asked, "Do you think I should find a chance to talk to her about this?"
Today, Mo Xiaojuan came over to accompany her. The two sisters watched TV together, chatted, and of course, took care of the children. Xi Xi was fine. She was playing house with her dolls, so Murphy didn't have to worry about her. Tong Tong was the same. He hadn't reached the stage where he could crawl and explore the world yet. Murphy held him in her arms or put him in a small cradle. The little guy could stare at the little stars hanging on the cradle for a long time.
Ever since Murphy got married, the two sisters didn't have time to sit down and have a good chat. This time, Murphy didn't ask about Mo Xiaojuan's marriage. It was useless to force her, so she could only leave it to fate. The two of them were just like before, watching the people on TV and discussing.
They either talked about the dressing of some female stars or studied which male stars were more handsome. These girls' topics were often talked about when they were young. Now that they were talking about it jokingly, it was like reliving the memories of those girls.
Mo Xiaojuan's taste was slightly different from Murphy's. She preferred good-looking men. Obviously, good-looking men had some feminine elements on top of handsome.
"But not only good-looking, but also mature and gentle enough. Those little boys can't do it. I can't stand their silly looks." Mo Xiaojuan said.
She also commented on Murphy's taste. "Sister, your taste is not good. I'm not saying that brother-in-law is not good. He is very good, mature, and gentle enough to you, but he's not good-looking! He's not even handsome enough … Of course, it's meaningless to say this now. You're already his woman! "
Although Mo Xiaojuan was joking, Murphy was very dissatisfied with Mo Xiaojuan's evaluation. In her opinion, Yang Yi was very handsome, very handsome!
In the past, she didn't think so. But ever since Yang Yi's personality changed, he was no longer as slovenly as before. His hair was shaved neatly, his beard was shaved clean, and his taste in clothes improved. Murphy gradually felt that Yang Yi was very handsome!
It was not that beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but that Mo Fei really felt that Yang Yi was in line with her aesthetic standards, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him. Now looking at Yang Yi's chiseled side profile and his eyes that were as deep as the starry sky, Mo Fei felt her heart ripple a little.
How could a man like this not be handsome?
Of course, Yang Yi didn't know about the whispers between Murphy and Mo Xiaojuan. He was thinking about what Murphy said.
"I don't think there's a need to go through so much trouble to talk to Xi Xi about these issues," Yang Yi said to Murphy.
"But those little cards you made in the past for me to talk to Xi Xi about sex education were very effective, right?" Murphy asked, puzzled. "Why don't you continue to talk to Xi Xi? She's so curious, so we should satisfy her curiosity and prevent her from exploring on her own. "
Yang Yi gently shook his head and said, "The nature of these two is different. Xi Xi is at the age where gender awareness is budding, so she's very curious about these things. But as parents, what we should do for a child in such a situation is appropriate education and guidance. In other words, Xi Xi needs to know that there are differences between men and women, but she doesn't need to know too much to avoid arousing her curiosity. "
"For example, we can tell her that men and women are different. Men have to go to the men's restroom, and women have to go to the women's restroom. When they go to the restroom, they can't let others see them. But there's no need to tell her that it's not good to be seen by others and what those bad people will do. Or we can tell her that men and women can't kiss, but there's no need to tell her that she's so young and doesn't know anything. If she kisses a man, she'll be taken advantage of. "
"I understand. These adult thoughts don't need to be instilled into a child so early." Murphy suddenly understood.
"Right, including the differences between men and women, and the specific use of those differences, we don't need to tell her right now." Yang Yi smiled.
"Then what should we do? How should we guide Xi Xi's curiosity according to what you said? "Murphy asked, puzzled.
"I'll talk to her about this later!" Yang Yi pondered and said.
In the afternoon, Yang Yi found time to take out a few printed pictures and sat in front of Xi Xi.
"Today, Mom told Dad that you're very curious about why your brother looks different from you, right?" Yang Yi said softly to Xi Xi, who was playing with her toys.
"Yes, yes!" The little girl suddenly became spirited and stopped what she was doing with her hands. Her eyes were filled with concentration as she said to her father, "Mom said that it's different when you go to the restroom."
"Well, Mom is right, but not completely right." Yang Yi smiled and said, "Dad will tell you a fairy tale. Of course, it may be true, but it may also be false. A long time ago, there was an immortal called Nuwa … "
Yang Yi was talking about the story of Nuwa creating humans. However, this story was modified by Yang Yi. Men and women looked different when they were kneading the clay.
"You've played with plasticine before, and the things you knead are somewhat difficult to control. Even if you want to knead two identical little pigs, they still look different, right?"
Xi Xi nodded in confusion.
"That's right. That's why when Nuwa used the magical clay to mold people, the shape of the people would be different. That's why there's a difference between a boy and a girl. It's very normal," Yang Yi said.
"Look, what are these two pictures?" Yang Yi took out two pictures and asked Xi Xi with a smile.
"Lion! Hee hee, Papa, I know lions! " When the little girl answered the questions that she knew, she smiled widely and gradually forgot her initial curiosity.
"Yes, what's the difference between these two lions?" Yang Yi said.
"The one with big hair is a boy lion, and the one without hair is a girl lion!" Xi Xi put down her toys and went to her father's side. She looked at her father's hand and said happily.
Yang Yi used to tell her these things when he looked at the picture album, and the little girl had a good memory.
"What about this?" Yang Yi took out the pictures of two kangaroos. "What's the difference between these two?"
"The baby sitting in the belly is Kangaroo Mom, and this is Kangaroo Papa!" Xi Xi could tell the difference. Before Lu Weisha sent the pictures, Yang Yi told her that the one with a pouch was a female kangaroo, and the one without a pouch was a male kangaroo.
"Is that right? So, lions and kangaroos have their own differences, and so do humans. It's just that we have wisdom. In addition to these physical differences, we can also tell whether they are boys or girls from their clothes and hair … At least most of them can be clearly distinguished. "Yang Yi summarized to Xi Xi.
The differences in organs were led to the differences in general aspects. It was a macro explanation, but it also seemed to be very reasonable. Xi Xi understood and said with a smile, "Boys have short hair, and girls have long hair!"
"This is not certain, but it's basically the same. It doesn't matter, you can observe other people's faces more in the future, and you can also see some differences." Yang Yi smiled and rubbed the little girl's head and said, "If you have anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask Papa, okay?"
"Yes, yes!" The little girl finally nodded with satisfaction.
