Chapter 168: My Own Child
When Lu Li saw Ji Hongxia sitting up, he handed the bowl and chopsticks in his hand to her.
Lu Li specifically said to Ji Hongxia: "This is fresh, not leftovers, eat it quickly." Lu Li deliberately lowered his tone when speaking, but the look in his eyes was a little different.
For a moment, Ji Hongxia's eyes were filled with tears. Of course, she was not moved, but she just couldn't tell what was different. Otherwise, why did she need others to give her things that were easily available before?
Yes, it is alms. The evidence that Lu Li spoke to me is alms. When did I need alms?
However, Ji Hongxia didn't think too much about it. She was hungry at noon, and she was even hungrier after crying. She had been feeling uncomfortable all afternoon and finally fell asleep, thinking that she could make some progress. But when she woke up, she was attracted by the fragrance of the bowl of rice in Lu Li's hand. She didn't care about his look and decided to feed herself first.
Ji Hongxia picked up the bowl and took several sips to suppress the hunger in her stomach. Naturally, her eating manners were not very good. Lu Li frowned when he saw Ji Hongxia's appearance. He felt that Ji Hongxia was a little unpresentable at this moment. She ate like this. It was not like she had been hungry for a long time. It was just a lunch. Now he looked down on Ji Hongxia even more.
When Ji Hongxia finished her bowl and handed it to Lu Li, Lu Li glared at her and said, "Why, you want me to wash the dishes after you finish eating? Go do it yourself." He glanced at the bowl that fell on the ground at noon and said, "Take the one on the ground out and wash it yourself."
Ji Hongxia's sadness that had been suppressed by hunger was now aroused again, and her eyes gradually became red. Lu Li couldn't bear to see Ji Hongxia like this, and was a little impatient and didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he directly took the bowl in Ji Hongxia's hand and the bowl on the ground and gave them to his mother.
Lu's mother took the bowl from Lu Li's hand with a curse and washed it in the sink. After washing it, she did not forget to glare at Ji Hongxia who was in the room.
…
At night, Ye Qian coaxed Xiao Ranran to sleep, but the more she coaxed him, the more excited he became. He would either grab things with his hands or kick things with his feet. The more Ye Qian tried to stop him, the harder he kicked. Then Ye Qian picked up Xiao Ranran and made him crawl on her legs. She gently slapped his butt with her hand and said, "If you don't listen to me, I'll spank your little butt." After that, she patted him twice more.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ranran was not afraid at all. The more she was beaten, the more she smiled. Ye Qian then picked Xiao Ranran up again and asked Xiao Ranran, "Why don't you sleep? What time is it now?"
Xiao Ranran didn't understand what Ye Qian said at all, but she could also distinguish expressions and emotions. At this moment, Ye Qian in front of her looked at her unfriendlyly. Just when she was about to turn her face to the other side, she saw the person who appeared at the door and burst into tears.
The person at the door was none other than Gu Jinyan, who had come upstairs to sleep after washing up and playing cards. Gu Jinyan had been watching at the door for a while. This child, Ye Qian, didn't cry no matter how hard she tried, but why did she start crying as soon as she saw someone coming? She was only a few months old. Could she be a smart person?
Gu Jinyan shook his head and put aside the thoughts in his mind. No, it must be a coincidence.
Seeing Xiao Ranran crying, he naturally had to comfort her. Gu Jinyan walked over, picked up Xiao Ranran in Ye Qian's arms, and coaxed her for a few words, and then Xiao Ranran shut up. Naturally, there were no tears in her eyes after such a short while.
Ye Qian took a look and said directly, "All thunder without rain." She slapped Xiao Ranran's butt a few more times.
Xiao Ranran turned her head to the other side capriciously, no longer paying attention to the woman who spanked her little butt, and then fell asleep in Gu Jinyan's arms.
Ye Qian was a little jealous. How come she couldn't coax the child to sleep, but Gu Jinyan could make the child fall asleep just by holding him? It wasn't fair, it was really unfair.
Ye Qian turned her head to the other side angrily, looking exactly like Xiao Ranran just now. Gu Jinyan sighed in his heart: Well, I didn't pick up the wrong child. They are exactly the same in appearance and personality.
Putting down the already asleep Xiao Ranran, he began to coax Ye Qian. Ye Qian was not really angry, and after Gu Jinyan coaxed her for a few words, Ye Qian laughed out loud.
The two chatted for a while and then went to sleep.
The next day.
Ye Qian was still asleep. Gu Jinyan was worried that Xiao Ranran would wake Ye Qian up. Just as he was about to carry her downstairs, Xiao Ranran started crying. Her crying was so loud that Ye Qian was naturally woken up.
Ye Qian opened her eyes dazedly and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? I didn't tease him. Don't blame me."
Gu Jinyan was speechless. Ye Qian hadn't even opened her eyes yet. It certainly wasn't because of her. "He wanted to look for you. I was afraid he'd disturb your sleep, so I wanted to take him back. But as soon as I got to the door, the little guy started crying."
"Oh, you are worthy of being my son. You just can't bear to leave your mother. Come here for a hug." Ye Qian then reached out to hug Xiao Ranran, but was obviously rejected by Xiao Ranran.
It turned out that Xiao Ranran had been pulling Ye Qian's hair when she fell asleep just now. Ye Qian was sleeping soundly and Gu Jinyan was pulling the other side of her hair, so it didn't hurt much and she didn't wake up. But when Gu Jinyan stopped her from pulling her hair, she started crying. When she saw Ye Qian who had woken up, the unpleasant memories of yesterday came back to her, and she felt a little disgusted and didn't want to go back.
Gu Jinyan was about to hand Xiao Ranran over to Ye Qian when Xiao Ranran immediately turned around and refused to go over. Ye Qian was stunned and said, "Obviously, there's some truth to what you said just now."
Gu Jinyan felt a little uncomfortable after his lie was exposed. Ye Qian would not stop hugging Xiao Ranran just because he didn't want to. She reached out and took Xiao Ranran and said to him, "If you don't let me hug you, then I won't hug you. You're just a little older, and your heart is already flying. What will happen to you when you get married in the future?"
"What are you talking about? The child is only three months old." Gu Jinyan said seriously.
Ye Qian didn't care: "What's wrong with three months? Even if you don't get married in the future, you still have to get married." After saying that, she hugged Xiao Ranran and kissed her for a while, then stood up.
I originally wanted to sleep until lunch, but after having a child, sleeping in became my dream. Every day I even wake up more punctually than when I go to work.
The two of them carried Xiao Ranran downstairs to have breakfast. After breakfast, Xiao Ranran fell asleep again, and Ye Qian was completely awake. She couldn't help but complain to Gu Jinyan: "Don't you think Xiao Ranran is annoying? He woke everyone up, and fell asleep on his own and slept so soundly. If he wasn't my biological child, I would definitely wake him up."
Gu Jinyan laughed in his heart, you have been doing it, but he just hasn't woken up. When did you show mercy because he is your biological son? But Gu Jinyan didn't say this out loud, otherwise Ye Qian would definitely make trouble with him.
After Ye Qian put Xiao Ranran on the bed, she began to prepare some simple ingredients. Although Aunt Lan was the one who basically did the cooking at home, she knew that she had to take care of the children and do housework and cooking. Aunt Lan must be very tired after a day. Since she was on vacation at home, there were naturally some things she could do, so she took over and did them, so that Aunt Lan would have nothing to do.
