Chapter 102: Yuan Bao Turing One

Things became quite uneventful after the Spring Imperial Examinations, days went by peacefully.

Yuan Bao grew up quicky, he could sit up this summer. Lu Lin laid bamboo sheets on the floor of the room. In this way, Yuan Bao could crawl around without getting dirty. Bamboo sheets could lower the temperature of the room as well.

Yuan Bao was able to grasp things in hand as well, he was extremely fond of grasping things and then throwing them far away.

Chen Xiao Mai adored his nephew Yuan Bao. Every time after Yuan Bao threw stuff out, Mai would help him pick up and return the stuff to him. The two of them enjoyed this extremely, they could play it for hours. Yuan Bao had actually reached a stage where he should be shy with strangers, but this baby liked everyone, he would not make a scene or cry even though it was a stranger who was holding him.

Of course, there was a difference. He would just laugh and giggle if it was his family who was holding him, if it was a stranger, he would become reserved and he would just close his eyes and sleep.

Even though everyone in the family said that the Yuan Bao was such a good baby, Lu Lin was a little worried that the Yuan Bao would be abducted and sold off because he didn't cry or scream when a stranger held him.

'It's going to be hard to find him if a stranger stole him away from us, he just doesn't cry or make any loud noises.' Lu Lin would frown whenever he thought about that possibility. But on a second thought, he would breathe a sigh of relief, even though Yuan Bao always behaved like a little angel, he would cry his eyes out if he were hungry.

Lu Lin was very satisfied with his life in this time and space. From time to time, he would launch some novel products to attract new customers and keep regular customers interested.

......

Babies grew very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Bao was one year old.

Yuan Bao was so chubby and adorable, his skin was as delicate as fine china. No one could take his eyes off of Yuan Bao.

Although Yuan Bao seems to be a little chubby, but he moved very fast.

At Yuan Bao's birthday banquet, Lu Lin prepared 'one-year-old catch' for him. (T/N: 'One-year-old catch', zhuazhou in pinyin, is a Chinese tradition. On a baby's first birthday, parents will lay out a lot of items on the floor for the child to pick from. It's said that whatever they pick is an indicator of the child's future career.)

Lu Lin laid a bamboo mat in the room. There were pen, ink, paper, ink, abacus, coins and ingot on the bamboo mat.

After everything was set, Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi put Yuan Bao in front of the mat.

Yuan Bao seemed a little confused by the situation, he looked around and yawned.

Chen Xiao Mai glanced at Lu Lin and said, "Lin Gege, Yuan Bao is not interested in these things! He likes nothing in front of him, is that possible?"

Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiao Mai and said, "How is it possible, Yuan Bao just needs some time to make up his mind."

'As the saying goes, a true hero can startle the world with a single cry. Just wait for it, everyone, Yuan Bao will pick something soon.' Thought Lu Lin.

Chen Xiao Mai said disapprovingly, "I don't think he likes anything on the mat."

Chen Xiao Mai took a pancake from his pocket and put it on the bamboo seat. Lu Lin's lips twitched when he saw what Chen Xiao Mai put on the mat. 'What does a baby know? Of course he is going to pick food! But whatever a baby picks on this 'catch' is an indicator of his future career! What's Yuan Bao going to become if he picks the pancake? A foodie?'
