Chapter 25 Do you think I'm fat?
After taking the two children for a walk and digesting their food, the family went home to rest.
Lu Mingyue's room is on the left side of the living room, and Huo Zheng's room is on the right side of the living room.
The brother and sister each have a room, one on the left and one on the right.
Lu Mingyue had just let her hair down when she sat in front of the dressing table and started massaging her scalp.
This is a daily habit she has developed. After tying her hair up all day, the hair follicles are very tight, which helps her relax and is also good for her sleep.
Besides this little habit, daily skincare is also very important. Just as Lu Mingyue opened the cold cream, there was a soft knock on the door.
Who could this be?
With a question in her mind, Lu Mingyue opened the door, and a small figure was standing outside.
"What's wrong with Yao Yao?"
Yao Yao timidly held a small baby, a shy and conflicted expression flashing across her face.
After spending a long time mentally preparing herself, she held the baby's hand in her arms, quietly encouraging herself, and said, "Mommy, can I sleep with you?"
Many children in the residential compound sleep with their mothers, and she has never experienced this feeling before.
Now she has a mother too, and she wants to sleep with her mother.
So that's what it was. Lu Mingyue thought it was something serious. Looking at the little guy's expression, she couldn't help but laugh.
He tapped the tip of her nose and said softly, "Of course, come in."
Yao Yao happily hugged her doll and climbed onto her mother's big bed.
Beneath her were white sheets with small floral patterns, which exuded a faint floral fragrance.
Yao Yao was lying on the bed, hugging her doll and laughing happily.
Her two little feet bounced in the air. She glanced at her mother, and seeing that she wasn't being noticed, she rolled her eyes around and started rolling around on the bed.
Lu Mingyue was well aware of the child's actions and could see her subtle movements clearly through the dressing mirror.
"Yao Yao".
Yao Yao was immersed in the joy of rolling around when she suddenly heard her mother call her name, and her little body stiffened.
"What's wrong with Mom?"
She unconsciously tightened her grip on the doll.
Lu Mingyue waved to him, and Yao Yao blinked, not understanding. She got out of bed and ran to her, looking up at her mother with her little face.
Lu Mingyue took out a piece of face cream and applied it to the little girl's forehead, cheeks, and chin, then gently spread it out.
A fragrant aroma lingered around Yao Yao's nose, and with her mother's massage, she unconsciously squinted her eyes and slowly enjoyed it.
It smells so good, just like my mom.
"Mommy, Yao Yao smells so good."
After Lu Mingyue finished applying the face cream, Yao Yao held her little face and looked at herself in the mirror from left to right.
Looking at the sweet and soft little girl, Lu Mingyue couldn't resist stealing a kiss.
"Of course, our Yao Yao is the sweetest baby."
Hearing her say that, Yao Yao smiled happily, as if she had drunk sugar water.
It was getting late, so Lu Mingyue found a pillow for the little girl, and the two of them fell asleep peacefully under the moonlight.
While the atmosphere here was harmonious and joyful, Huo Zheng on the other side was not having such a good time.
With a "smack," his face was slapped again.
Huo Zheng's eyes were somewhat dark, and he stared wide-eyed helplessly at the little brat beside him with a resentful look.
Why is this brat still as unruly as he was when he was a kid?
Huo Zheng felt that his son came to him tonight to sleep with him purely as a way to punish him.
Lei Lei was sprawled out on the bed, occupying most of it in a "big" shape, fast asleep, while the tall Huo Zheng was squeezed to the corner of the bed.
When the two children first came to our home, Leilei felt very insecure, and Huo Zheng was the one who put them to sleep.
At that time, Leilei's sleeping posture was already starting to look unseemly, but after all, he was still a young child, and he could still sleep comfortably even if he rolled around in bed.
But things are different now.
We have to go to the county town tomorrow. Huo Zheng felt that if things continued like this, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight either. So he simply took his pillow to the next room and gave his bed to his son.
Leilei, who had successfully driven his father away from occupying a large bed, was completely unaware and turned over to sleep soundly.
the next day.
Leilei climbed out of bed, his tuft of hair standing straight up.
He rubbed his eyes, looked around sleepily, and a question mark appeared in his mind.
Huh?
Where did Dad go?
Even though he didn't have to go to the military camp today, Huo Zheng continued his usual routine.
I go for a five-kilometer run every day, rain or shine.
Huo Zheng greeted the women passing by with his breakfast in hand, and they couldn't help but admire the lunchbox he was carrying.
"I didn't realize Comrade Huo was such a doting husband. He went out early this morning to get breakfast and came back."
"That's right. Unlike my husband, who comes home every day, does nothing but wait to be fed."
“I heard that the couple took their two children to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday and picked out a lot of things. It seems that Comrade Huo’s daughter-in-law is quite reliable with the two children.”
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. They've only just arrived; who knows what the future holds? Let's wait and see."
I heard that Comrade Huo's wife is several years younger than him.
She became a stepmother at such a beautiful age; I wonder how long she can keep it up.
Besides, she's a perfectly nice city girl who followed him to Shashi Island, so her circumstances must be worse than before.
In the past, there have been cases in the family compound where people couldn't stay because the conditions on Shashi Island were too poor.
Older military wives are used to this kind of thing.
Since arriving in the 1970s, Lu Mingyue hadn't had such a long and restful sleep in a long time.
But because of the morning bugle call, she was temporarily awake and then fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, her little girl was no longer beside her.
She changed into her new clothes and tied her hair into a simple low ponytail braid.
When they came outside, Huo Zheng was loosening the soil in the yard with his two children. There was still a small part of the vegetable garden that hadn't been planted yet.
Hearing the noise, Huo Zheng looked over and was slightly taken aback. He was surprised to see the morning sun shining on the girl's fair face, revealing a pinkish-red hue like a ripe peach.
She smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling like a dazzling star, captivating all who beheld her.
She was wearing new clothes she had just bought yesterday, and she looked radiant with youthful energy.
"Mother!"
Yao Yao ran over, stopped in front of her mother, and happily held up her prize to show off.
"Mom, these are the earthworms I caught. Do you think they're fat?"
A dark, thick earthworm, about the size of a chopstick, suddenly appeared in front of Lu Mingyue.
Huo Zheng quickly picked up his daughter.
The earthworm flashed past Lu Mingyue's eyes, tracing an arc in the sky before landing precisely at Leilei's feet.
Yao Yao: ? What just happened?
