Only then did Xu Xiangjuan notice Zhou Chengning's hands. She used the face cream as hand cream, scooped some and helped Zhou Chengning apply it on his hands.
Such beautiful hands, you must take good care of them.
"Mom, I want one too." Niu Niu has been paying attention to the face cream. Seeing his mother applying it on his father's hands, he stretched out his chubby little hand and asked his mother to apply it on him too.
Xu Xiangjuan: "This is for the face, and for hard hands. Dad has hard hands, but Niu Niu's hands are soft, so you don't need to apply it."
Niu Niu pinched his little fleshy hands.
Guagua: "Dad's hands are big, Niu Niu, you have small hands, you don't need to have the same hands as Dad."
Zhou Chengning's hands are already very big compared to Xu Xiangjuan's, and they are even bigger when compared to Niu Niu's.
Gua Gua probably means rounding off. Niu Niu's hands are small, so he doesn't need to use any of them. Dad's hands are big, so he needs to use some of them.
Zhou Chengning: "Don't use Niu Niu's small hands, they are soft anyway."
Niu Niu touched his father's left hand, which had been rubbed by his mother, and rubbed the melted cream on his father's hand. Niu Niu began to rub his hand and said casually, "Dad's hands are hard and need to be rubbed."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Aning, continue writing after your hands are dry. You've been writing all the time except for eating and taking a shower when you get home. You can take a rest now."
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, I'm sorry, I have a lot of work today, so I brought it home."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Why are you saying sorry? If it doesn't have to be completed tonight, then leave it for tomorrow."
Zhou Chengning: "Well, I understand Juan, you should go to bed quickly, it's cold."
The temperature in the north is much lower than in the south. They sleep with hot water bottles and quilts. It would be very cold without these two things.
I only wipe my body when it's not too cold. If it's too cold, I'll just brush my teeth, wash my face, wash my feet, and go to bed.
The temperature isn't very high tonight.
Xu Xiangjuan was fine now and went to bed.
Mom went to bed, and Niu Niu touched Dad's hand even more unscrupulously.
Zhou Chengning held Niu Niu's chubby hand and asked, "What are you doing, Niu Niu?"
"Apply it all over Dad's hands." In fact, she meant rubbing the cream off Dad's hands.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Niuniu, lie down in bed quickly, are you cold?"
"Mom, very quickly, Dad, rub your hands." While answering his mother, Niu Niu also directed his father to rub his hands.
Dad rubbed him faster.
Zhou Chengning pretended to be disgusted: "If you don't rub it, it will turn into black mud later."
Niu Niu: "Not dirty, clean, wash your hands."
Zhou Chengning was too lazy to argue with Niu Niu as he had work to do, so he simply took off Niu Niu's clothes and put him in bed to sleep.
Niu Niu went into the warm bed and stretched out his hand for his sister to smell: "Sister, it smells good."
He got this from his father's hand. He is so cute.
Guagua couldn’t really smell it, and the fragrance wasn’t very strong, but she still agreed with her brother: “Yeah, it smells good.”
Xu Xiangjuan: "Niuniu, put your hands back under the quilt. What if you get frostbite?"
When his mother started talking, Niu Niu retracted his hands into the quilt and only showed his little head. He felt that his mother should be asleep, so he quietly stretched out his chubby hands to smell them. They smelled so good.
Tomorrow is still a workday, and Zhou Chengning insisted on turning off the lights in the house, leaving only the desk lamp on.
So except for the desk which is relatively bright, the rest of the room is dim, which is also suitable for sleeping.
...
Xu Xiangjuan didn't know what time it was when she woke up, but she saw Zhou Chengning still sitting there writing something.
Xu Xiangjuan got up carefully, tucked the quilt for Gua Gua, put on her coat and got out of bed.
Zhou Chengning had heard his lover getting up, but he didn't say anything immediately. Seeing that his lover was walking towards the toilet, he quickly looked away and continued copying the report materials.
Xu Xiangjuan finished her work on the toilet and walked behind Zhou Chengning, saying softly, "How long will it take?"
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, it may take some time."
"You continue writing, I'll make you a midnight snack." After saying that, Xu Xiangjuan walked to the bed to see how Niu Niu was sleeping. Niu Niu's little hand was still on his face. Xu Xiangjuan reached out to hold Niu Niu's little hand, which was cold.
I quickly put the chubby little hand into the quilt. Fortunately, the little guy could still fall asleep with such cold hands.
The bed was warm. After confirming that Niu Niu did not have a fever, Xu Xiangjuan went to cook some midnight snack.
Originally there was only one lamp in the room, but since the cooking area and sleeping area were separated, the original lamp was on the sleeping side, so they installed another small lamp for cooking to avoid inconvenience when cooking.
Turning on the light in the cooking area, Xu Xiangjuan looked at the clock. It was eleven o'clock in the evening.
The sound of the gas stove is a bit loud, but if the two children wake up, they will make noise, so Xu Xiangjuan tries to keep the noise as low as possible.
Xu Xiangjuan made egg noodles for midnight snack and called Zhou Chengning to come over to eat.
"Juan, don't you want to eat?"
Xu Xiangjuan sat next to Zhou Chengning and shook her head: "No, I'm not hungry. You eat quickly and continue to complete the task after eating. Finish it early and go to bed early. I'll wait for you to finish eating before going to bed."
Just put the dishes aside at night and wash them tomorrow.
Zhou Chengning took two bites of noodles: "Juan, you really don't want to eat?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "Just drink some soup. No need to hold it for me. I'll just lower my head and drink it."
There was no choice, her husband had already offered it to her, so Xu Xiangjuan had to take a sip.
After his wife drank the soup, Zhou Chengning continued to eat: "It warms my body. I feel comfortable all over after eating the noodles."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Are you very sleepy?"
Zhou Chengning: “A little bit.”
Xu Xiangjuan: "You should be more awake after eating the noodles. Do you have to write until two or three o'clock?"
Zhou Chengning: "Almost. Juan, go to bed early and don't worry about me."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Then I will go to bed first. You put on your hat to avoid catching a cold at night and having a headache tomorrow. Put the dishes away and I will wash them tomorrow morning."
Zhou Chengning: "Well, I understand Juan."
Only after Zhou Chengning finished eating the noodles did Xu Xiangjuan go to rinse her mouth and go to sleep.
Zhou Chengning continued to sit at his desk and work.
...
"Dad." Niu Niu woke up early in the morning and saw that his father was still in bed. The fat little hand reached under his father's nose, trying to wake him up with the fragrance.
Xu Xiangjuan was already making breakfast. When she heard Niu Niu's voice, she went over to dress Niu Niu: "Niu Niu, let daddy sleep a little longer and don't wake him up."
Niu Niu was obedient and didn't bother his father. Instead, he smelled his hands and asked his mother to apply face cream on his face.
Xu Xiangjuan: "After breakfast, mom will wipe Niu Niu's face. Mom will help Niu Niu brush his teeth and wash his face first. Sister is already sitting."
When Niu Niu heard that he could only apply facial cream after breakfast, he cooperated with his mother very well. He quickly got out of bed, washed up, and sat down at the dining table.
Zhou Chengning woke up when he heard his lover calling him: "Juan, what time is it?"
It was the first time that Xu Xiangjuan saw her man so sleepy. She said, "It's still early. Breakfast is ready. You can eat as soon as you get up and get dressed."
Zhou Chengning got up quickly, brushed his teeth and washed his face quickly. Despite this, when they sat down at the dining table, Gua Gua and Niu Niu each ate half of the meal.
Little Niu Niu: "Dad should work early and go to bed early tonight."
He heard from his mother that his father went to bed very late last night because he had work to do. An adult's work is like a child's homework. His sister only plays after finishing her homework, so he can understand why his father has to finish his work before going to bed.
Zhou Chengning: "You can go to bed early tonight, Niu Niu. You didn't sleep well last night without your dad. The whole kid took up dad's sleeping spot."
Niu Niu denied: "No."
Speaking of bad sleeping posture, Xu Xiangjuan felt that Niu Niu was so small that he could not occupy much space. Even the fact that he stretched out his hands when sleeping last night had been labeled as having bad sleeping posture by her: "Just stretch out your hands when your dad is not around. Niu Niu has a bad sleeping posture."
In summer, spring and autumn, as long as the weather is not so cold, she will not say a word if you stretch out your hand. How can she stretch out her hand in winter?
Guagua knew: "Niu Niu is smelling his hand."
Niu Niu: "My hands smell good."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Even if your hands are fragrant in winter, you can't just stick your hands out from under the quilt and smell them. Forget about pulling them back in when you go to sleep."
Niu Niu simply drank up the porridge: "Mom, I'm done, face cream."
Zhou Chengning: "At such a young age, he already knows how to divert his mother's attention."
Xu Xiangjuan: "I'll put the cream on you after mom finishes eating."
Niu Niu: "No, I won't wipe it for Dad."
The childish father and son were about to start bickering again, but Xu Xiangjuan didn't care. After she and Guagua finished eating, she took Guagua to apply facial cream.
Seeing his mother taking his sister inside, Niu Niu stopped arguing with his father and quickly slid down the chair and followed his mother and sister in.
After the family went out, Xu Xiangjuan said to Zhou Chengning before riding her bicycle: "Go home directly in the afternoon and take a nap first. I will go pick up Guagua."
Guagua is now old enough to sit in the back seat. Zhou Chengning carries Guagua with one foot on the ground and the other on the pedal: "Juan, it's okay for me to pick you up. It won't take that much time."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Listen to me, you don't have to go this afternoon. I'll pick up Niu Niu first and then Gua Gua."
I don’t know what time I went to bed in the early morning. I must be very sleepy today. It’s better to let my man go home and sleep directly.
Zhou Chengning couldn't persuade his lover, so he finally agreed.
...
The days passed in peace. Xu Xiangjuan learned that her husband had indeed been admitted to the graduate school of Huazhong University, and she was really happy for him.
I don’t cook anymore, I just take the adults and children out for a big meal.
We booked a private room at a famous restaurant in Huadu.
Before going out, Xu Xiangjuan didn't put on any makeup and went out with her bare face. Niu Niu even asked her to apply facial cream on him before going out.
Xu Xiangjuan almost wanted to give the cream to Niu Niu, since he loved to use it so much. But considering the various uncertainties with children, she thought it was safer to keep it herself.
If girls born in the future can be as diligent as her four-year-old child, they will definitely become exquisite girls.
After applying the facial cream, Niu Niu finally decided to go out.
The service in a special restaurant is indeed different from that in an ordinary restaurant. The family is led by the waiter to eat.
Zhou Chengning was holding Niu Niu, and Xu Xiangjuan was just telling Niu Niu to walk by himself, when his right hand was unexpectedly held by Gua Gua.
A few people were walking towards us, both adults and children.
Xu Xiangjuan noticed something was wrong with her daughter, looked carefully, and remembered who the child was.
He is the little bully who is hated by everyone in the area. Last year, he bullied her children Niu Niu and Gua Gua. He doesn't seem to have grown much taller this year, but his temper still seems to be very bad.
Xu Xiangjuan held Guagua's hand back, probably meaning that mom is here, so don't be afraid.
Niu Niu is still playing in the playground, and the bully has not moved away. He still remembers the bully. After all, the older brothers and sisters in the playground often scold the bully. They, a group of children, are not afraid of the bully, but only one or two children are still afraid of him.
The little guy lay on his father's shoulder, not daring to look at the little overlord.
Zhou Chengning didn't know about this, but since Niu Niu didn't say anything, he noticed something was wrong. He shook Niu Niu and hit him on the butt, but Niu Niu still didn't move.
The little bully obviously recognized Guagua Niu Niu and their...mom, but pretended not to see it. He came here with his parents today, so he had to act good.
