Chapter 79
"Pei Jingxi, why are you hiding? If you don't put on your clothes, I won't take you out later."
Autumn passed and the cold winter came.
The sun was blocked by thick clouds, and the sky was gray, like a flat stone slab with texture exposed after being cut by a knife.
There was a chill in the air, and the mountains in the distance were blue-gray. Cenhu Town and the 715 Factory were located at the foot of the mountain, opposite each other. Looking down from a high place, you can see that the buildings in the town are shorter than those of the 715 Factory.
The open space between the town and the factory has been replaced by various buildings that have sprung up, and the two sides are gradually connected.
The streets were sparsely populated. With winter here, the air was chilly, and the air we exhaled instantly condensed into mist. Everyone hunched their necks, and hats, scarves, and gloves had become essential for going out.
Xinghua Lane, Pei Family Courtyard.
The room was not cold because the kang was heated, but Meng Wanqiu was very angry with Pei Jingxi.
The little guy on the kang was wearing a thin tight-fitting outfit, his round belly and chubby limbs were clearly visible. He was sitting happily in the corner, with his chubby legs stretched out, his feet rolling, and his four off-white baby teeth exposed.
The chubby little boy was holding a small cloth tiger in his hand. His eyes on his palm-sized face were very eye-catching, with curled eyelashes and pupils that were black, bright, clear and lively.
"Pei Jingxi, come here quickly!"
Meng Wanqiu stood at the edge of the kang, with a furry little piece of clothing in one hand and the other hand waving at the little guy at the innermost part of the kang, signaling him to come over quickly.
The family was going out today. When the couple got up, the little one was still sleeping soundly. So they ignored her and went to have breakfast first.
When Meng Wanqiu returned to the room again, the little girl had woken up. She was not crying or making a fuss. She was holding the little tiger doll that Meng Wanqiu made for her in her arms and staring at the ceiling in a daze.
When he saw his mother coming, his big round eyes instantly turned into crescent shapes, and he smiled at his mother with his teeth showing. His cheeks bulged out, looking very cute.
Seeing the little one like this, Meng Wanqiu couldn't help but laugh, "Our Xixi is awake, mommy will help you get dressed. Xixi is going out with mommy and daddy today!"
He took the little guy out of the quilt, and the soft little butt sat on his arms. His arms suddenly felt warm, and the whole body was filled with the sweet smell of milk. Meng Wanqiu couldn't help but kiss the white and tender little face.
The little guy who was kissed smiled happily and jumped in Meng Wanqiu's arms, waving his little hands vigorously. It was obvious that he was very happy.
After Meng Wanqiu had a little affection with her precious daughter, she put her on the quilt and wrapped a corner of the quilt around the little one, fearing that she would be cold.
The little guy sat obediently, staring at his mother with his big eyes without blinking.
Meng Wanqiu smiled and put her little toy, the little tiger doll, next to her.
When the little guy saw his beloved little tiger, his eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened wide, and he happily hugged the little tiger in his arms and rubbed it with his face. His actions and expressions did not hide his love for the little doll.
Meng Wanqiu rubbed the little guy's furry little head, turned around and went to the closet to find the little guy's clothes, and took out a sky blue sweater, a small cotton jacket of the same color, black cotton pants, and a pair of blue soft-soled cotton shoes.
She put the clothes in the quilt to warm them up first. After they were warm, Meng Wanqiu pulled the little girl to the side and prepared to change her.
As a result, Xixi, who had always been very well-behaved, became uncooperative for some reason. She hid when changing clothes and pants, and she even hummed in her mouth.
At first, Meng Wanqiu thought that she had done something wrong and that the little guy was uncomfortable. After checking again and again, the little guy still refused to put on clothes. His short legs kicked and kicked his clothes and pants off the bed.
In the middle of winter, Meng Wanqiu was sweating profusely.
After a long time, Meng Wanqiu lost her patience and looked at the little guy with a frown.
The little girl lay on the quilt, her short legs dangling and her eyes rolling around. It was hard to tell what was wrong, but she just refused to cooperate.
"Pei Jingxi, what do you want to do? Just stay at home by yourself without putting on clothes." Meng Wanqiu frowned and pointed at the little guy.
The little guy blinked his eyes, his curled eyelashes trembled, and his little mouth pursed, looking unhappy.
"Are you going to listen?"
"Ahhh——" The little guy's voice was low and sounded very listless.
Meng Wanqiu's expression softened, and she leaned over and kissed the little guy on the face, "Be good, baby. Only good babies are liked by mom and dad."
The little fellow put his hands on Meng Wanqiu's face, staring at his mother with his big eyes, sparkling, "Ah, wuwu."
He was much more energetic than before. Meng Wanqiu thought the little guy was obedient and kissed the back of his hand again, "Yes, being obedient is a good baby."
As he said that, he squatted down and picked up the clothes and pants that the little guy had kicked off.
When she stood up again and saw the situation on the bed, she forced herself to laugh angrily.
I saw that the little guy who was just on the side had now crawled to the innermost part, like a puppy, with his legs and hands extremely flexible.
She still held her little tiger toy in her hand.
After seeing Meng Wanqiu get up, he huddled against the wall, holding a small toy in his arms, squinting his eyes, with the flesh on his face puffed up, and smiled happily at Meng Wanqiu.
If she hadn't been leaning against the wall, Meng Wanqiu felt like she would have fallen on the bed laughing.
Oh, sure. You're not even seven months old yet and you're already playing tricks on your mom.
It's just a delaying tactic.
This is why the scene at the beginning appeared.
Little Pei Jingxi learned to play tricks with her mother when she was less than seven months old.
Outside, hearing Meng Wanqiu's angry warning, Pei Xingzhi put down the coal and walked into the bedroom.
I saw a mother and daughter, one inside and one outside, facing each other across the kang.
Meng Wanqiu's face had darkened, but the little girl inside was still hugging her little tiger and laughing foolishly.
Meng Wanqiu could have just gone to the bed and pulled the man down, but she didn't.
"What's going on?" Pei Xingzhi walked over calmly.
Meng Wanqiu chuckled, glanced at the little one inside, and glared at Pei Xingzhi, "It's your precious daughter who refused to put on her clothes and even kicked them off the bed. Is she trying to play tricks on me?"
Not good, Wanwan is really angry.
Pei Xingzhi put his arm around Meng Wanqiu's waist, then looked at the little girl in the bed and comforted her softly, "Okay, don't be angry, I'll help her put it on."
Meng Wanqiu glared at him, "That's not the point. It's that she actually learned to play tricks on me, and she's only less than seven months old."
He's already playing tricks on her when she's so young. What will happen when she grows up?
Therefore, Meng Wanqiu decided to teach Xixi a good lesson.
Don't say the child is still young and doesn't understand anything. This little brat of hers is so cunning.
Pei Xingzhi chuckled and scratched her nose. "I know. I'll help you deal with her. You just watch from the side."
"Are you willing to do that?" Meng Wanqiu looked at him suspiciously.
Usually, Pei Xingzhi loves this little thing the most and is willing to teach her a lesson.
Pei Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Why not? I will punish anyone who bullies my Wanwan, even my own children."
“Puff—”
Meng Wanqiu laughed and made way for him. "Okay, then you come."
She wanted to see how this guy would deal with his little cotton-padded jacket.
However, Pei Xingzhi's unprincipled favoritism improved her originally angry mood.
Pei Xingzhi stood where Meng Wanqiu had been and clapped his hands at the little one inside. "Xixi, come here, come to Daddy."
The little girl stopped smiling after her father came in. She held the little tiger and stared at her parents blankly, wondering why her parents were ignoring her.
The two of them hugged each other, neither of them looking at Xixi. Xixi felt ignored, and her brows furrowed, looking unhappy.
When Xixi saw her parents separate and her father waving at her, she immediately started smiling. She was indeed still her parents' little darling.
Le Zizi happily crawled out, dragging the little tiger with him. As soon as he got close to his father, he stretched out his chubby little hands to ask for a hug.
In Xixi's little body, she knew that as long as she made this gesture, her father would hold her in his arms. Her father's shoulders were broad and thick, different from her mother's, which gave Xixi a full sense of security.
But this time, Pei Xingzhi did not hug the little guy in front of him.
However, he did not frown. Instead, he took the clothes next to him, shook them smooth, and prepared to put them on the little guy.
The little girl was stunned. Why didn't her father hug her?
He continued to stretch out his little arms, and looked at his father expectantly with his big, blinking eyes.
But Pei Xingzhi still turned a blind eye.
Meng Wanqiu, who was standing next to her, saw what Pei Xingzhi was going to do. Seeing the little guy's expectant eyes, she felt a little soft-hearted.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" the little girl cried to Pei Xingzhi, motioning for her father to hold her.
Pei Xingzhi continued to ignore him, and he rolled up the little guy's clothes and was about to put them on his head.
Meng Wanqiu silently looked away, unable to bear to watch.
“Ahh——” Bad dad, I want a hug.
"Be obedient and put on your clothes, then daddy will hold you." Pei Xingzhi said.
But little Xixi didn't understand. Seeing that her father still refused to hug her and even put clothes on her that she didn't like, little Xixi got angry and lost her temper.
The little hand tried to pull the thing off his head with force. Pei Xingzhi didn't use much force, but the little guy still pulled it off.
Then the little guy lay down, kicked his legs, kicked his clothes off the bed, and looked at his father angrily.
During this time, Pei Xingzhi did not move and just watched the little guy kick his clothes off.
Meng Wanqiu glanced at Pei Xingzhi, who had no expression on his face, but she knew that he was angry.
"Ahem, how about we change her clothes? Maybe she doesn't like it?" Meng Wanqiu interrupted timidly.
Her intuition told her that if she let the little guy continue like this, she would definitely be the one crying.
Pei Xingzhi looked at Meng Wanqiu helplessly. He had previously thought that Xixi just wanted to play with her and that was why she didn't want to put on clothes.
But when Pei Xingzhi saw Xixi kicking his clothes when she was unhappy and throwing tantrums when she wasn't satisfied, he realized the problem.
The little guy really needs some education.
"Wanwan, didn't you say that just now?"
"Well... okay, you continue." Meng Wanqiu is very conflicted now. She doesn't want to see the little guy crying out of grievance, but she also doesn't want to delay Pei Xingzhi from teaching the child.
Pei Xingzhi nodded and looked at the little girl. She was lying on the quilt, stealing glances at him with her little eyes.
