Chapter 5 Incompetent Parents
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Yan Yunxi couldn't stop laughing. She finally realized that this funny attribute was inherited.
But why is Mu Jingxuan always cold and cool? Didn't he inherit it? After
dinner, it was still her mother-in-law who washed the dishes. She was going to boil a pot of hot water for Dabao to take a bath.
"Leave it alone, I'll do it. You go back to the room to rest and play with Dabao. I'll go boil water." Mu Jingxuan took the initiative to take the work from Yan Yunxi.
Yan Yunxi smiled at him. This man is quite capable.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Bring the water to the room later. I'll give my son a bath."
Seeing Yan Yunxi smiling at him, Mu Jingxuan's ears instantly turned red. Yan Yunxi didn't expect him to be so innocent. She was so happy that she went back to the room with a smile, and didn't pay any attention to the man who was at a loss behind her.
Back in the room, Yan Yunxi quickly unpacked a piece of soap with her mind, took it out and put it in the bamboo basket, and found a small empty bottle, squeezed a bottle of baby lotion and put it in it. She had to prepare these things so that she could answer if Mu Jingxuan asked.
After doing all this, she and Dabao played on the kang for a while, and the water was boiled.
Mu Jingxuan brought the bathtub into the house, poured hot water into it, then picked up Dabao and stripped him naked, "Take a bath." He
spoke in an imperative tone. For him, he suddenly had a son, and he didn't know how to get along with the child. He could only try to get along with the child like he did with his comrades in the army.
"No!"
"Mom... wash."
"Yes... Mom!"
Compared to this cold father, Dabao liked his mother more. He didn't want his father to give him a bath. The one and a half year old child didn't speak fluently, but he expressed his wishes very clearly.
Although Yan Yunxi had no experience in taking care of children, the maternal love in her heart was aroused by the lovely Dabao.
"Mom will give you a nice bath, okay?"
"Okay!"
Finally, after Yan Yunxi clumsily washed Dabao, she found that the water was black. How long has this child not had a bath? Instantly, guilt and heartache filled her heart again. After drying Dabao,
she put him on the kang and wrapped him in a quilt, and then,
"Where are Dabao's clothes?" Yan Yunxi asked Mu Jingxuan.
"I don't know either."
Yan Yunxi: "..." Destroy it!
A pair of incompetent parents met together!
"Look!"
Mu Jingxuan then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and he was filled with self-blame. He didn't care enough about his child!
With his emotions, he had no patience in his hands, and the few cabinets in the room were turned upside down by him.
Finally, they found a set of Dabao's clothes in the kang cabinet, and then they found sadly that Dabao only had the set of underwear he had worn before, and no replacement.
Yan Yunxi sighed helplessly and took out the underwear and autumn clothes and pants from the bamboo basket. She originally wanted to wash them before putting them on the child, but in the end...
just put them on for now.
The royal blue pure cotton underwear, with wide waist and a sponge baby pattern on the little butt, looks very stylish when put on, Yan Yunxi smiled with satisfaction.
Then she put the autumn clothes on him, which were just the right size.
"Is it comfortable for Dabao?"
"Comfortable!" He didn't know what comfortable meant, but he just followed his mother's words.
Mu Jingxuan watched the interaction between the mother and son while silently tidying up the cabinet that he had messed up. His heart suddenly felt a little throbbing.
Isn't this the kind of life with a wife and children that he has always been looking forward to?
If Yan Yunxi didn't get divorced, it would be great. He began to like this kind of life.
There were not many entertainment activities in this era. Yan Yunxi made a cup of milk powder for Dabao and asked him to drink it.
Then the two adults washed up and went to bed early.
This was the second night since Mu Jingxuan returned from military service. The first night, he and Dabao slept at the other end of the kang table, and Yan Yunxi slept at this end of the kang table.
But tonight, Dabao clamored to sleep with his mother, so Mu Jingxuan slept at the other end of the kang table, and Yan Yunxi and Dabao slept at this end of the kang table.
Dabao played crazy all day and fell asleep in a short while, but Yan Yunxi and Mu Jingxuan couldn't fall asleep.
To be honest, Yan Yunxi was a little nervous. Although Mu Jingxuan was her husband in name, and even though they had experienced two lifetimes together, he was a stranger to her.
Mu Jingxuan couldn't sleep either. He was lying on the same kang with such a beautiful wife, but they were separated by thousands of miles. Somehow, he actually felt a little resentful.
Since he couldn't sleep, he might as well chat. It was also a chance to increase the understanding of each other.
"What are your plans after you retire from the army?"
Mu Jingxuan didn't expect Yan Yunxi to take the initiative to care about his affairs. He thought she would only think about living a good life.
But he didn't hide it. "After retiring from the army, the leader arranged a deputy director of the county public security bureau and a director of a county machinery factory for me. I was asked to choose one. I haven't decided yet."
When Yan Yunxi heard the work arrangement, she knew that he must not have been a soldier in the army before, otherwise he would not have been assigned such a good job.
"How many years have you been in the army?" The position should not be low.
Mu Jingxuan seemed to understand what Yan Yunxi meant. "I joined the army at the age of 17. I should have been promoted to deputy battalion commander after this mission, but my leg injury is serious. I can't continue the front-line mission in the future. I simply chose to retire, so that I can spend more time with you."
How could she not notice that this man was so sweet? She felt warm in her heart just by chatting with him.
However, she quickly adjusted her mood. He became a deputy battalion commander in four years. This man is definitely not an ordinary person. He is capable and she likes him!
Thinking about her previous life, she spent 10 years in the army to get promoted to a colonel. Thinking of this, she seemed to have picked up a treasure.
So she sat up with a somersault.
Mu Jingxuan didn't know what happened, so he also sat up and looked at her through the darkness, not knowing why.
Yan Yunxi realized that her reaction was too extreme, and touched her head awkwardly, "Well, sorry, I was too excited just now, sleep."
After saying that, she lay straight down. Anyway, it was dark in the room and she was no longer embarrassed.
Mu Jingxuan felt that Yan Yunxi must not be as simple as she looked. She seemed to know a lot of things. He seemed to be even more confused about this woman who had played with him all day.
The army had checked her when she applied for marriage. She was just an ordinary high school graduate. There was nothing special. Why did he feel that Yan Yunxi was becoming more and more mysterious?
Yan Yunxi actually wanted him to choose the machinery factory, so that he could do a lot of things, and with her help, many things could be released in advance.
She wanted to master the wealth code of this era and experience the feeling of being a rich woman!
But she would respect his choice and not interfere. She would let him decide for himself.
Thinking about it, Yan Yunxi fell asleep.
But Mu Jingxuan couldn't sleep any more. Looking at this mysterious woman, he felt that he was a little trapped.
