After the father and son washed their hands, Yun Muye placed the baby on a specially made baby chair and fed him millet porridge with a small bowl in his hand.
Gu Zhinian stood up, walked forward, and reached out to take the bowl.
"Let me feed him!"
Yun Muye dodged with the bowl in hand, "No, sit down and eat. The baby likes me to feed him."
"Oh well!"
Gu Zhinian slowly sat back in his chair, eating bit by bit with his chopsticks, looking at the father and son from time to time.
The father is addicted to feeding the baby, and the baby eats happily. They take a bite of the food and then touch their foreheads. The big and the small are both smiling happily.
Gu Zhinian was puzzled. Wasn't she here to be a nanny? The meals were cooked by the employer's family, and the baby was also taken care of by the employer's family. So what was she doing here? As a mascot?
She did nothing, she felt guilty about eating this meal, she was really ashamed, biting a piece of pork ribs in her mouth, her eyes lit up, it was delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy,
After finishing the meal, I picked up another piece of braised eggplant. It was so delicious! Sweet and sour, smooth and tender, it was a perfect dish to go with rice!
What a wonderful man he is, he can cook, take care of children, and keep the house clean.
Yun Muye saw her staring blankly with her chopsticks between her fingers, thinking the food was not to her taste.
"Zhi Nian, why don't you want to eat? Is the food not to your taste?"
Gu Zhinian shook his head violently and praised loudly, "No, no, it's so delicious! Your cooking skills are almost as good as those of a master chef!"
Yun Muye raised the corner of his mouth and continued to feed the baby, "If it tastes good, eat more."
Gu Zhinian smiled awkwardly, "Okay, I'll eat quickly, and then I'll take care of the baby."
Gu Zhinian only picked up the dishes on the side of the plate. She was afraid of messing up the dishes and causing dislike. After eating hurriedly, she wiped her mouth with a tissue, stood up, and picked up the little glutinous rice balls.
"I'll watch him. Eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
"Okay, are you full?" Yun Muye put down the baby's bowl and saw that the food on the table was hardly touched. "Is the food not tasty?"
"It's delicious, so delicious!" Gu Zhinian held the baby, played with toys on the carpet, and turned back to him.
"It's delicious, why don't you eat more?"
Gu Zhinian explained: "I have a small appetite, so I only eat this much."
In fact, she was embarrassed to eat. The host hadn't eaten yet. How could she, a nanny, dare to eat with big mouthfuls? She hurriedly ate half full and then went to see the baby.
Yun Muye thought she was trying to lose weight like the girls in the art troupe, so he frowned and said, "You're not fat, you don't need to lose weight."
Gu Zhinian smiled slightly, stopped talking, and concentrated on playing with the baby.
After dinner, Yun Muye cleaned up the dishes. Gu Zhinian ran over and rushed to clean up the dishes, "Let me wash the dishes."
Yun Muye dodged with the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the kitchen sink, turned on the faucet and lowered his head to wash the dishes. "Your job is to look after the baby, I'll wash the dishes."
"good."
Gu Zhinian returned to the living room to play with the baby. Yun Muye washed the dishes, wiped the table, and came to the living room. He took out eighty yuan from his wallet and gave it to her.
"This is your salary. The rest is for your family's living expenses and for buying food and rice."
Gu Zhinian took the money and said, "Okay, I don't know what the baby likes to eat, so I know what I need to buy in the future."
"Eggs and milk powder are essential. I give him meat twice a week, and he should eat more vegetables. He's not picky about food and can eat basically anything."
Yun Muye talked about his son in detail, and Gu Zhinian listened attentively.
"Okay, I've got it all down."
"Zhi Nian, do you need to buy anything? I happen to be free today, so I can go shopping with you."
Gu Zhinian waved his hand and said, "I can go by myself. You don't have to accompany me. It's too much trouble."
"No, I have some things to buy too. You can come with me and take the baby for a walk."
Yun Muye walked into the baby's bedroom, took out a set of the baby's cotton-padded jacket and trousers from the cabinet and threw them on the sofa, then picked up the baby to change clothes.
"You go get dressed, I'll change the baby's clothes, and then we'll go shopping."
"good."
Gu Zhinian walked quickly into the bedroom, took out a red scarf and tied it around her neck, then put on her coat. She took out the money given by Yun Muye, counted out thirty-five yuan and put it in her pocket. This was her salary, and the rest was the living expenses for the father and son.
She put the money away, fearing that Yun Muye would get anxious, and hurried out. She saw a chubby little baby sitting on the sofa.
"Puff" burst out laughing, it's so cute, a festive red cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded trousers, red furry tiger-head shoes on his feet, and a tiger hat of the same color on his head,
Big black eyes, chubby little face, pink and tender, soft and sticky, like jelly, Gu Zhinian really wanted to take a bite,
"The baby is so festive from head to toe."
Yun Muye put on his military coat. "This whole outfit of his was made by his grandmother herself. It was new clothes made just for the New Year."
"The child's grandmother is so skillful. She must love her child very much. Every stitch on this dress is so fine and delicate."
"Yes, the baby was always taken care of by the baby's grandmother before. Before the New Year, my brother's family also had a baby, so she went back to her hometown to take care of the baby after the confinement period."
Gu Zhinian picked up the baby, and the baby grinned happily with his eyes curved, making her unable to help but laugh along.
Yun Muye changed out of his slippers and picked up the car keys, "Let's go!"
Gu Zhinian carried the baby downstairs, taking each step carefully, fearing that the baby would fall. Yun Muye followed behind her. In front of the corridor, there was a military off-road vehicle parked.
The weather was very cold. Gu Zhinian was afraid that the baby would be cold, so he put his hand on the baby's hat and covered it tightly. Yun Muye quickly opened the car door and let the two get in.
"Hurry up and get in the car."
Gu Zhinian carried the baby into the car. As soon as the door closed, the baby giggled excitedly and twisted his body. She almost couldn't hold him.
The baby clapped his hands together happily, but the cotton-padded jacket he was wearing was too thick, and his two hands couldn't even touch each other.
Yun Muye got in the car, started it, turned around and said with a smile: "The baby was excited when he got in the car, and he especially likes cars."
Along the way, there were a lot of people riding bicycles. The Chinese New Year had just passed, and everyone was happily carrying things back to their parents' homes and visiting relatives.
Yun Muye drove the car, stopping and starting. As soon as the car stopped, the baby would jump and cry.
"Cheche, woooo, cheche, run faster..."
Gu Zhinian held the baby and looked outside to divert his attention.
"Little Tangyuan, look at all the cars outside. These are bicycles. You can ride them when you grow up."
“Car, car…”
The baby was attracted by the bicycle outside the window, staring at it with wide eyes and stopped making noise. Yun Muye looked at the two similar-looking children, one big and one small, in the rearview mirror, and the corners of his lips curled up, with a smile deepening in his eyes.
Finally arriving at the department store, Yun Muye parked the car, opened the door, took the baby in one hand, and after Gu Zhinian got out of the car, he closed the door.
"This is a department store. Let's go in and take a look."
"good."
Gu Zhinian reached out to hold the child, but Yun Muye strode away and turned back to shout, "Hurry up and catch up."
"Coming!" Gu Zhinian trotted after him.
