"What do you want to eat tonight?"
Hearing Shen Qingli's question, Meng Xiao looked at the bowl in his hand and was stunned: "I haven't finished lunch yet."
Is his wife stupid?
Shen Qingli didn't look up, so of course she didn't see the look in his eyes that looked like he was looking at a fool.
"I know. What I mean is that I want to invite Sang Yuan and Brother Mingchuan to dinner tonight. As the host, I want to ask for your opinion on what they would like to eat."
She raised her head and frowned as she looked at Meng Xiao, who had hurriedly withdrawn his gaze. "What are you looking at?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I have no objection to calling them to eat. They will eat whatever you cook. Anyway, whatever my wife cooks is delicious."
He smiled ingratiatingly, and he was caught looking at Shen Qingli like a fool...
Shen Qingli was at a loss for words as to what to do with this sudden compliment. Aunt Liu was so engrossed in her food that her expression was invisible. Shen Qingli felt that she must be laughing secretly.
He immediately gave Meng Xiao a glare, saying that he kept doing such embarrassing things today.
After dinner, Meng Xiao took Shen Qingli to take a nap. He didn't sleep well yesterday, so Shen Qingli naturally didn't sleep well either.
I went to bed so late at night and got up again in the morning.
Meng Xiao's biological clock has always been very accurate. He woke up after sleeping for an hour and gently touched Shen Qingli's forehead before leaving.
Shen Qingli woke up a little late. When she woke up, she heard the child crying. She sat up from the bed and walked out in a hurry without even having time to put on her shoes.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Shen Qingli took He He from Aunt Liu.
"I pooped. I just wiped it. It might be caused by inflammation. It's a little red. I think it hurts and it's crying." Aunt Liu also felt distressed. How could she not feel distressed for the child she took care of day and night?
"I'll find some ointment to apply to her later. Does An An have any?"
Shen Qingli has always prepared diaper cream in her space, but the two children have always been well behaved and have never used it.
"An An is fine, but will it be bad for Xiao Tu to apply the ointment?
I do know a folk remedy that works, but it uses too many eggs. It takes thirty or forty egg yolks to make one or two ounces of yolk oil."
There was a maidservant from the same village as Aunt Liu who came from a wealthy official family. However, this folk remedy was not affordable for ordinary people. She only mentioned it hesitantly after hearing Shen Qingli mention the ointment.
In her opinion, ointment is medicine after all, and it is bound to have some side effects. The child is too young to use medicine.
Shen Qingli had made up for her lack of knowledge in childcare and knew that what Aunt Liu was talking about was probably egg yolk oil diaper cream, which of course she also had in her space.
Shen Qingli said gently, "It's okay. I mixed the ointment myself from a book. It's safe. I'll buy some more eggs to make the egg yolk oil some other day. It's also good to have some on hand."
It's inevitable that children will occasionally have red bottoms when wearing diapers in the middle of summer. She was afraid that Aunt Liu would blame herself, so she tried to speak in a soft and relaxed tone.
This time the little boy stopped crying. He pouted his lips, his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked so pitiful.
If Meng Xiao saw this, he would be so distressed that he would hug his precious daughter and refuse to let go.
Shen Qingli carried He He back to the room, found the diaper cream he had prepared earlier and applied it on her. When the wound was touched, little Meng Xihe couldn't help but burst into tears again.
"Okay, okay, okay, He He, don't cry anymore. It won't hurt after you apply it." Shen Qingli picked him up and coaxed him again.
"You are such a pampered child." She touched Meng Xihe's little forehead and said with disdain and intimacy.
After holding her and rocking her for a long time, the little princess finally stopped sobbing.
Shen Qingli put her on the crib and pushed it into the kitchen. This kind of crib is very convenient. It can be used as a crib and can be pushed out for a walk.
She is now preparing to wash the vegetables so there is no smoke, and she can be pushed out when cooking.
Aunt Liu saw her start to prepare the food, and put An An in the cart to help Shen Qingli. The two of them worked together without getting tired. They were both efficient and soon had cut and prepared the meat and vegetables.
Shen Qingli likes meat, but it’s not that he doesn’t like vegetables, he can only say that he eats them too.
In addition, since it was a dinner party for others, they prepared more meat, which made Aunt Liu feel distressed.
I mentioned several times during the meal that we should save the meat for later and remove two or three pieces. In fact, the preparations were enough.
"It's okay, Auntie. I brought a lot of meat. We can buy more after we finish eating. Besides, it's not like we're treating every day. It's just once in a while. Just think of it as improving the lives of Sang Yuan and the baby's godfather."
Shen Qingli was chopping the meat filling while looking at Aunt Liu and talking.
Meng Xiao likes to eat green peppers stuffed with meat. This dish is specially made for him. I have been really wronged by him during the past two days when I went back. After all, meat is not common in the cafeteria.

"He He is beautiful again." Ye Mingchuan hugged He He and was reluctant to let go.
Sang Yuan was circling around Ye Mingchuan anxiously: "Give me a hug, give me a hug, I haven't hugged you yet, oh, what a cute little princess."
Shen Qingli curled her lips. Whether it was Sang Yuan or Ye Mingchuan, they were all the same as Meng Xiao!
The water is not treated equally! Girls are favored over boys!
Oh no! It's the same for all men! I like my cute and adorable daughter, but three grown men are surrounding her.
They were obviously twins, but An An was lying alone on the side, "no one cared about them!"
"Let's eat quickly. It's ready. Brother Mingchuan, just put He He in the cart."
Sang Yuan and Meng Xiao stopped chasing after the child and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
"Can I hold her while eating?" Ye Mingchuan asked after hesitating for a few seconds.
Shen Qingli: ???
Finally, after Ye Mingchuan asked again, she compromised: "It's not good for her to eat while holding her. Put her in the crib and pull the crib next to your seat."
She glanced at little Meng Lian'an, oh! Poor An'an!
"Eat, eat!" Meng Xiao and Shen Qingli sat down and picked up their chopsticks, and then they followed suit.
"There are too many dishes, sister-in-law." Sang Yuan swallowed unconsciously as he looked at the table full of delicious dishes, which made Aunt Liu next to him feel distressed and wanted to laugh.
"Eat, it's time to eat and drink!" Shen Qingli pointed to the white wine on the table, but none of the three were willing to drink.
"It's hot, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink." Meng Xiao reached out and moved the white wine aside.
Ye Mingchuan picked up a piece of salad with chopsticks, paused at the corner of his mouth, raised his head and looked at Shen Qingli and Meng Xiao expectantly.
"Can He He and An An eat vegetables? Can you feed them some?"
How should I put it? His eyes seemed to reveal a kind of... well... clear stupidity...
"It took six months before he could barely drink some rice soup." Meng Xiao looked at Ye Mingchuan with some disdain.
How stupid! See, he's the only one who understands!
"Then what do they eat every day?" Ye Mingchuan seemed... well... seemed to really not understand!
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Drink milk powder, it's nutritious." Aunt Liu continued.
She wondered what was wrong with Xiao Ye. He looked like a smart guy, but how come he didn't understand anything and asked about everything?
What if Shen Qingli fed it herself? Wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to ask that?
