Qin Qinghuai silently pushed Jian Dan into a chair.
"Alright, alright, you eat first, I'll feed her."
He was used to this kind of work, and even more adept at it than simpler tasks.
The little one sat obediently on his father's lap, eating the sponge cake bite by bite. Having only recently started on solid foods, he was still enjoying the slightly flavorful treat and loved it. He ate it bite by bite, and the small bowl of sponge cake was quickly emptied.
The little boy was placed on the kang (a heated brick bed), and he lazily hugged the toys on the kang. Before the adults had finished eating, he fell asleep on his own.
As he slurped his noodles, he suddenly let out a soft sigh upon seeing this.
"Don't you think this child is quite sensible?"
Why are you suddenly saying that?
"Look at her, she only cries when she's wet, hungry, or uncomfortable. Although her crying is, well, quite loud, it doesn't seem like she ever cries or throws a tantrum on purpose, right?"
Qin Qinghuai was surprised for a moment, then chuckled to himself.
"Honey, you've really gotten used to being a mom. You think your own child is perfect, right?"
Simply blink.
"Did I adapt so quickly?"
"How can you still have doubts? Don't you know how well you've been a mother these days? Look at all the weight your son has gained, isn't that all thanks to you?"
A simple twitch at the corner of the mouth,
"Brother, if you want to praise someone, at least come up with a plausible reason. This is so half-hearted."
He cooked the meals, washed the baby's diapers, and took care of almost all the simple meals. His simple task was to stay home every day and watch the baby sleep, eat, and play. He was definitely tired, but compared to other families, her life was already heavenly.
Even though she knew this man was good, she never expected that from their marriage to her pregnancy, and now, for so long, he would never neglect her, and his attentiveness and patience towards her would remain unchanged.
It's the same both at home and outside. Whenever he's home, she rarely has to lift a finger. Even when he's not home, he usually makes arrangements in advance so she rarely has to worry.
Since the baby was born, the baby has been fed formula. From the time she gave birth, through the postpartum period, until now, the baby has been fed at night without her having to worry. In this respect, she has surpassed 99.9% of people.
"Hehe, honey, you're too modest. Without you, I couldn't have given birth to such a wonderful son on my own."
"Go away! Don't say such things!"
"I gave birth to this child, and I really didn't take care of anything else. You did all the work, and you still said those things. Are you doing it on purpose, trying to make fun of me?"
On the kang (heated brick bed), the little one rolled over with a "thud," sprawling out in a wide-open position that left his parents speechless.
"Don't you think our daughter is a bit too much?"
After a brief moment of deliberation, I reluctantly chose a word.
"Too unrestrained,"
"ah?"
Qin Qinghuai suddenly burst into a fit of coughing. It took a long time for Jian Dan to stop, worried that the little one might be woken up. Qin Qinghuai slowly stopped, seemingly with a smile on his face.
Simple immediately became unhappy.
"Huh? What do you mean? What did I say that made you laugh like that? Are you making fun of me? Huh? Are you making fun of me?"
Jian Dan knew that her mind and mouth had indeed become a bit sluggish since she became pregnant, and with this person taking such good care of her, she hardly had any chance to think. But being laughed at was something she couldn't tolerate.
"Tell me, what did I say wrong, and why are you laughing at me?"
"No, no, no,"
Qin Qinghuai's eyes welled up with tears from smiling, but seeing that the other person was about to get angry, he immediately hugged them.
"Wife, wife, wife, listen to me, I'm not laughing at you, really, I'm laughing at our daughter,"
"Daughter?"
Simple, half-believing, half-doubting, she glanced at the little one on the kang (heated brick bed), who had moved to a different spot but was still sprawled out, fast asleep. Her lips twitched again involuntarily.
"My daughter,"
Qin Qinghuai was quite satisfied.
"That's good, little girl. You're just like that. If you were really so delicate and frail, then we, your parents, would be the ones worrying about you in the future, wouldn't we?"
"I?"
Jian Dan felt something was off about those words, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. However, she immediately recognized the certainty in the other person's voice, and a smile appeared on her face, her earlier anger vanishing from her memory.
"You're not kidding me, are you?"
After saying that, I wanted to slap myself. What was wrong with my brain? I was too easily fooled. I lost my bearings after saying a few nice words.
"What are you trying to coax me for? That's exactly what I love about you,"
When Qin Qinghuai recalled their meeting again, his face was still filled with nostalgia.
"Back then, there were wolves and dogs all around you, living peacefully together. Then you threw your machete without even turning your head and killed the wild boar. You were like a god. Really, my wife, even now when I think about it, I still feel a little fuzzy."
"I have to say, Brother Huai, your taste is something most people can't match. But I have to admit, you have a really good eye!"
The last sentence successfully made Qin Qinghuai laugh again.
"You're right, honey. The best thing I ever did in my life was to muster up the courage to confess my feelings to you back then. Really, otherwise, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."
"If that's your point, then my judgment is spot on. I saw you as a potential catch right away and signed you immediately. Otherwise, wouldn't I have regretted it?"
"Of course! Where else could you find someone as doting on their wife as me?"
After arguing for a while, the conversation turned to the children.
"Honey, our daughter is getting heavier and heavier. Let her play on the bed instead of always carrying her; it'll strain your arms."
"OK,"
Speaking of fruit puree today, Jian Dan finally remembered that she still had some in stock.
"There's also a lot of baby food inside. Look, you can slowly add any edible food to it, but..."
He paused briefly, thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"It's alright, there's still plenty of food inside. You can decide which ones are suitable for her age, and I'll give her some to eat during the day when I'm free."
They had initially thought that since everything in the future would contain additives, and the base didn't have a production line for baby food, the country in the future would have stricter food safety controls. Even if the food that their base could purchase met the minimum national standards, there was no need to worry too much.
"Is it really okay for her to eat the peach? You didn't see it just now, but let me tell you, the way she reacted, if she were any older, she would have tried to snatch it away."
Qin Qinghuai believed this; he was used to seeing his daughter eat, especially her complementary foods.
"The peaches in that space are indeed exceptionally delicious. I like them myself, let alone the child. She's just started tasting them and she's already craving them, so she's definitely thinking about them."
A simple pout.
"Let me tell you, when she grows up, she'll definitely be a big glutton."
