Guagua is a kid who can't have someone backing him up. Xu Xiangjuan could only say, "Mom, please don't speak for Guagua. If you spoil the kid like this, Guagua will brag everywhere like the old man."
Lao Laitou is the most boastful old man in the village. He lives a hard life, but he loves to brag. No man or woman in the village is willing to deal with him.
"It's okay to praise a child a few times, but there's no way Guagua can become like the old man." Wu Caifeng's voice weakened.
If Gua Gua really becomes like the old man, his life will be ruined.
"Why are you bragging? Niu Niu is already very fat." Gua Gua pointed at his chubby younger brother.
Actually, Niu Niu is not fat, it's just that Xu Xiangjuan paid attention to the child's diet. He has good nutrition and is better taken care of than most children nowadays. After being released, he is just a normal chubby baby. Being chubby is normal.
When Niu Niu heard his own name, he called out "oh oh oh" again. Although he can't speak yet, the little guy can already recognize the nickname.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Guagua, you are not thin either. Stop talking about Niu Niu being fat. Niu Niu is not fat."
Gua Gua didn't want to pay attention to his mother who always poured cold water on him, and continued to tell his grandmother about his glorious deeds in kindergarten.
Xu Xiangjuan was too lazy to care and just focused on brushing her clothes.
After washing the clothes, I went to cook lunch. I had noodles for lunch and boiled water in the empty pot. After the meal, I took a break and wiped myself.
Wu Caifeng stayed at her daughter's house for lunch and then went back. Her grandmother had passed away and there was no one to listen to her talk about her glorious deeds. Guagua went out to play with Miaomiao.
"Do you want to wash first or should I wash first?" Xu Xiangjuan asked Zhou Chengning who was basking in the sun while holding Niu Niu.
Niu Niu is no longer as tiny as it was when it was just born. It doesn't look that fragile anymore. The more times Zhou Chengning holds a child, the more skilled he becomes. "Juan, you go first. I'll go outside and bask in the sun for a while."
"Your skin is not white to begin with, don't let it get tanned into charcoal." Xu Xiangjuan had already taken the clothes. Zhou Chengning said she would wash them later, so she washed them first.
The sun is still relatively mild now. If it were too sunny, Niu Niu and his father would definitely not be allowed to bask in the sun together.
It doesn’t matter if dad has thick skin, but the baby cannot be dehydrated by the sun.
Niu Niu was drowsy after basking in the sun, so Zhou Chengning carried him to the inner room to sleep. The little baby fell asleep soon after being put in the crib.
After making sure Niu Niu was asleep, Zhou Chengning went out to the inner room and sat alone on a small stool outside the kitchen, waiting for his lover to come out and take his turn to wash.
While washing herself, Xu Xiangjuan did not forget to fill the iron pot with water. Her husband brought a full bucket of water to the kitchen and kept it ready to fill the pot with water when it ran low.
Going to the mountain really made me feel uncomfortable all over. Xu Xiangjuan washed her hair. When she came out of the kitchen, she wiped her wet long hair with a towel, "Aning, go wash it."
Zhou Chengning explained Niu Niu's whereabouts, "Juan, I put Niu Niu in the inner room. He is sleeping in the inner room."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Well, I understand."
There is no hair dryer, so I can only dry my hair with a towel. It’s okay if I have short hair, but it’s torture if I have long hair.
People in ancient times had long hair, and poor families basically didn't wash their hair. She couldn't stand it. If it weren't for the current conditions and the need to save firewood, she would take a bath every day.
Her hair was still wet. After wiping it until no more water was dripping, Xu Xiangjuan went to check on Niu Niu in the inner room.
Niu Niu was sleeping soundly, holding a small woolen toy in his hand.
After rescuing the little toy from Niu Niu's fat boy's hands, Xu Xiangjuan quietly left the inner room and sat on the bench at the kitchen door to continue drying her hair.
Zhou Chengning was quicker than Xu Xiangjuan and came out having washed his hair. Seeing this, Xu Xiangjuan stood up and made room for him. "You sit on the bench. I'll move a chair."
The couple sat side by side to dry their hair. Zhou Chengning's hair dried faster. After his hair was dry, he saw that his wife's hair was not dry yet, so he wanted to help dry her hair, "Juan, let me help you dry your hair."
Xu Xiangjuan: "My hair will be dry soon, no need to help me, I have nothing to do so I can wash the clothes, there are still piles of dirty clothes."
"Let's go later, Juan, are you cold?" His eyes, which were originally on his lover's long hair, involuntarily fell on his lover's slender waist.
It was warm in the sun, and Xu Xiangjuan was only wearing a thin undershirt, but she didn't feel cold. "Not cold."
Xu Xiangjuan's waist looks slender, but she still has some fat on her belly after giving birth, but it's not too exaggerated, and her postpartum recovery is okay.
Zhou Chengning: "It's good as long as it's not cold."
"What are you looking at?" Xu Xiangjuan finally noticed Zhou Chengning's gaze.
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, your waist is so thin."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Aren't you very clear about whether my waist is thin or not?"
Zhou Chengning didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face turned red again, "Yes, I know it very well... Actually, I'm not sure either, I forgot."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Forget it, forget it. My hair is almost dry. I'm going to the inner room to check on Niu Niu... Don't follow me."
Zhou Chengning: "I want to see Niu Niu, too."
"Whatever you want."
Niu Niu was unaware that his parents were watching him in his sleep and he continued to sleep soundly.
...
On the day off, Xu Xiangjuan took Niu Niu and her mother to eat vegetarian food. She got up in the morning and prepared lunch before going out.
Guagua played like crazy for most of the day, and when he came home he saw his father writing. He went to his father and interrupted him, "Dad, when is Mom's birthday?"
It was already the end of March. When Zhou Chengning heard his daughter asking about her lover's birthday, he did not directly explain, "Why did Guagua ask about her mother's birthday? Do you want to prepare a gift for her?"
Gua Gua told the truth, "Mom can eat Oh-Oh cake on her birthday. I want to bring some Oh-Oh cake for Sister Xixi and Miaomiao."
She asked her mother about the birthdays of everyone in the family. Except for her mother, who didn't know her own birthday, her father, brother, and her already knew them.
My brother's is still a long way off, my father's is already gone, and hers will take another two months.
Her mother didn't tell her, so she asked her father.
"If we share the cake with our friends, then what will Guagua give to her mother?" Zhou Chengning asked gently when she heard that her daughter didn't consider her mother.
You still need to be patient with children.
"Give my love to mom."
Zhou Chengning: “…”
At such a young age, he was so glib, "What else can you give your mother besides love?"
Guagua: "To the love of mom and dad, and the love of Niu Niu."
Zhou Chengning: "Dad and Niu Niu's love doesn't need Gua Gua to give it to them. Gua Gua, you should prepare a gift for Mom. Even if it's just a little red flower given by the kindergarten, Mom will be happy."
Guagua: "What gift did Dad give Mom?"
Zhou Chengning: "I can't tell Guagua, only mom knows."
He remembered his lover's birthday and saved the money mainly to buy her a pair of leather shoes. As for his lover's birthday gift, he had already thought of a box of cream and a letter.
He would write letters when he had time on his days off, actually they were love letters. He was writing them right now, and he was not panicked when Guagua came in, after all, Guagua was illiterate.
My lover took Niu Niu to have a vegetarian meal today. Gua Gua always goes out to have fun, so he is the only one left at home, making it very convenient for him to write a love letter.
He had already written two pages in the morning, but he stopped when his lover came back to avoid being discovered.
"Dad lied to me. He tricked me into giving Mom a gift, and then he didn't give any himself."
"How can Guagua think so badly of Dad? Dad is rich and wants to buy a gift for Mom."
"What gift should I buy?" Gua Gua herself was rich. After she started kindergarten, her mother would give her a penny every few days, and she already had almost 30 cents.
"Don't tell Guagua. On Dad's birthday, you and Mom didn't tell Dad and secretly made an egg cake."
