Gu Zhao is the best at cooking. The only problem these times was that they didn't control the taste of the seasoning well. If they had a braised food package, they would basically be close to success.
Gu Zhao just needs to control the taste. If it's a little salty or a little bland, can't it be remedied?
Tian Tian is still very confident about this braised dish and has already begun to imagine the scene of herself gnawing on duck neck while watching TV.
After they finished cleaning up the messy kitchen, they went to look after the child happily. An An is getting more and more interesting as he grows up. He can understand whatever you say, like a little elf.
And her reactions are especially cute. For example, if you want to give An An a bath, she will purse her lips and look at you aggrievedly at first. Then after a while, if you go to find her again, you will find that she is pretending to sleep.
At first, Tian Tian and the others were really fooled by An An. They thought An An was asleep, so they gave up the plan to give her a bath. But later, by chance, Tian Tian found that An An's eyes were rolling under her eyelids. She immediately knew that An An hated taking baths and was pretending to sleep to avoid taking baths.
She picked up An An, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and went out to say something to Gu Zhao, then ran the water to give her a bath. When An An heard the sound of water, she didn't rush to pretend, but opened her eyes and burst into tears.
This happened several times later, but after so many times, An An found that Tian Tian and the others could see through her tricks every time, so she stopped using this method.
Tian Tian doesn’t know if she has any filter for An An, but every time she sees him, she thinks An An is the cutest child in the world, whether he is blowing bubbles, raising his eyebrows, or playing with his little hands.
After the couple played with An An for a while, they realized it was time to go to bed.
Gu Zhao went to boil some water and wiped An An's hands and feet. After wiping her face clean, he took An An into bed and fed her milk powder. Now the weather was getting colder and colder, so they couldn't bathe An An as often as before. Although there was heating in their building, it was not as warm as the floor heating in later generations.
It takes a lot of courage for adults like them to take a bath in the bathroom, let alone a child like An An.
Moreover, it is a big deal if a child gets sick and catches a cold. Neither Gu Zhao nor Tian Tian dared to take the risk, so in the end they both unanimously decided to simply wipe An An's body in the winter and give him a bath every two or three days.
Before taking a shower, Tian Tian was as nervous as if she was going to war. She and Gu Zhao would go to the bathroom to take a shower first, so that the heat would make the bathroom warm. Then they would take An An and give her a bath while the room was still warm.
An An particularly hates taking a bath. Every time she struggles, she struggles very hard, and water splashes all over their bodies. After An An finishes taking a bath, they both have to take another bath. The whole process is very complicated.
Every time Tian Tian thought about giving An An a bath at night, she felt a little scared. She always wondered when An An would grow up so that she wouldn't have to bathe him anymore.
But later she thought, if An An grew up, as An An's mother, she would definitely have to give An An a bath, and it would not be appropriate for Gu Zhao to do so at that time. Tian Tian felt even worse when she thought about giving a naughty baby a bath by herself.
On the weekend, Ge Huiyun and her family came to visit An An again with a bunch of delicious food. Since Gu Xingshu passed away, Ge Huiyun and her family have come over more often. In Ge Huiyun's words, the house always feels a lot quieter and empty, with only the two of them living in such a big house. When Gu Xingshu was at home, although he was in poor health and seldom went out, having one more person at home made a difference, and it also made Ge Huiyun and her family feel that there were more people at home.
"There is no liveliness at home now. Even though the heating is so warm, I feel like I'm entering an ice cellar every day when I get home." Ge Huiyun complained to Tian Tian.
She got off work earlier than Gu Shuyun. Every time she went home, she was the only one there, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Then Mom, you can come to our house, have dinner together, and go back at night, or sleep together at our house. There's an empty room in the house, and it would be boring for me to be alone at home." Tian Tian said.
"I'd better give up. You're alone at home and An An is not at home. It's the same and quite boring." Ge Huiyun said.
Since Tian Tian absolutely did not want to take care of the child during the holidays, An An was sent to the nursery every morning as before, and Gu Zhao would pick her up in the evening. Also, because An An had to be sent to the nursery, Gu Zhao could not ride his bicycle. After all, he could not ride a bicycle while holding An An, so the bicycle was left to Tian Tian.
When Tian Tian has nothing to do during the day, she will ride her bicycle out for a stroll. Maybe because she rides a bicycle every day, Tian Tian has even lost some weight during the holidays.
"Wouldn't it be better if we didn't have children? Children are really annoying." Tian Tian shook her head: "If we didn't have children, we could go out shopping. I heard that department stores have recently received a new batch of clothes, and there are also clothing stores in our provincial capital. I heard that the styles of the clothes there are very beautiful. Have you ever been there?"
This clothing store was opened by Li Jiuniang. It has been open for quite a long time and is quite famous in their small circle in the provincial capital.
But Tian Tian had not been there yet, and she didn’t know whether Ge Huiyun had been there.
As expected, Ge Huiyun also knew that place.
"The clothes there are pretty nice, but the patterns are a bit too new and not suitable for an elderly person like me," said Ge Huiyun.
"Who said that? It's just a color. Who stipulates what color clothes should be worn at what age? Let's go shopping when the time comes. Maybe that clothing store will have new clothes. Anyway, we're just sitting around at home doing nothing." Tian Tian said.
Ge Huiyun nodded. Although she was a little unhappy, she also felt a little bored staying at home during this period of time, so she made an appointment with Tian Tian to go shopping in the clothing store together on the weekend.
This is not the first time that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have gone out shopping, but their previous shopping trips were all very conventional. At that time, the provincial capital was not as prosperous as it is now, with all kinds of shops.
