Chapter 71 Apple Puree

He obediently let Liu Yinyin take off his clothes.

Liu Yinyin stripped him naked and put him sitting in the wooden tub. Gu Yanyan immediately started babbling and using his chubby little hands and feet, twisting his little body and struggling hard in the water.

While splashing the water and giggling, the little guy's hands were so strong that the water splashed all over Liu Yinyin.

It was like this every time she gave him a bath, like a war. Liu Yinyin simply scooped up a handful of water and splashed it back.

Gu Yanyan thought his mother was playing with him and laughed even more happily.

The mother and son had a lot of fun playing, and Liu Yinyin was soaked all over.

Well, she needs to take a shower too.

Liu Yinyin picked up Gu Yanyan, wiped him with a towel, and then put on a red bellyband she made herself.

The little guy is already chubby and white, and with this outfit he looks even more like the lucky doll in the New Year pictures, so adorable!

Jiang Cuihua likes this chubby little grandson very much and she is reluctant to let go of him.

Liu Yinyin felt a little tired after taking a shower, so she went to her room and took a nap with her mother helping her take care of the child.

When I woke up, it was almost six o'clock.

When Jiang Cuihua saw that she had woken up, she handed the child to her and went home.

Her son-in-law was coming back soon, and she didn't want to stay at her daughter-in-law's house for dinner.

Sure enough, not long after Jiang Cuihua left, Gu Chengcheng came back on a bicycle.

Liu Yinyin hadn't cooked yet, so she took a small apple, cut it in half, and steamed half of it.

Seeing Gu Cheng coming back, she gave him both apples and said, "I'll cook right away. Eat some apples to fill your stomach first, and feed the steamed one to your son."

Gu Yanyan is almost six months old and can eat some fruit puree. Apples are easy to digest, so it should be okay for him to eat some.

Gu Cheng had never taken care of a child before, so he didn't understand: "Can Yanyan eat this?"

Liu Yinyin nodded: "...I think you can. Use a spoon to mash the apple into a paste and feed it a bite first."

Both husband and wife are first-time parents and don’t know anything, but they have to give it a try.

Liu Yinyin also asked Jiang Cuihua that children in the countryside had never eaten apple puree, but she said that children of this age could eat rice porridge or porridge.

In order to take care of the child more conveniently, Liu Yinyin asked the old carpenter in the village to make a baby stroller. In this way, she could leave Gu Yanyan by her side while she worked.

Gu Yanyan was sitting in the stroller at the moment. When he saw Gu Cheng, he babbled something and waved his chubby hands, wanting his father to pick him up.

Gu Cheng held his son on his lap and, as Liu Yinyin had instructed, mashed the apple with a spoon and scooped a little to Gu Yanyan's mouth.

The young man was slightly stunned. Although he had never eaten apple puree before, there was no reason not to eat it when it was served to him.

He subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked it. When he tasted the flavor, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if to say: Mom, it turns out there are things in this world that taste better than milk.

It was as if he had discovered a new world. Gu Yanyan just put his little mouth on the spoon and he wanted to eat more apple puree.

Seeing that he was fine after taking a bite, Gu Cheng stuffed the spoon into his little mouth. Gu Yanyan took a sip, smacked his lips a few times, and then swallowed the apple puree.

After eating a spoonful of apple puree, Gu Yanyan opened his mouth wide and said “Ah ah…” twice to Gu Cheng.

It means I still want to eat.

Liu Yinyin turned around and saw Gu Cheng feeding Gu Yanyan apple puree, one spoonful at a time. The little guy squinted his eyes and ate the delicious food.

Liu Yinyin just ignored them.

For dinner, there was food brought from the cafeteria. Liu Yinyin only made a dish of stir-fried mackerel with garlic sprouts and cooked some white rice.

Gu Yanyan was fed half an apple, and his little tummy was already full. The little guy who had eaten something delicious was particularly happy, and he hugged Gu Cheng's neck tightly and refused to let go, looking very affectionate.

Liu Yinyin said happily: "From now on, I can feed him some fruit puree every day."

Gradually, give him egg custard and porridge.

Once he has adapted to eating complementary foods, you can consider weaning him.

His son stood on his legs and kicked back and forth. Gu Cheng patted his little butt and said with a smile, "It's a pity that the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have much fruit."

Usually there are only apples. You will see some other fruits in autumn, but not many. If you go too late, you won’t be able to buy any.

Fruits are not easy to transport and are easy to spoil, so he would ask someone to send them from other places.

Liu Yinyin suddenly thought of Brother Li and wondered if she could buy some other fruits from him.

Gu Cheng happened to have thought of this, so he didn't say anything to stop Liu Yinyin from going, but just asked her to be careful.

Hearing him say this, Liu Yinyin felt relieved.

After class the next morning, she went to the county town again.

With Gu Cheng's guarantee, Liu Yinyin had no other worries.

This time when she arrived in the county, Liu Yinyin went directly to Brother Li's house.

The person who opened the door was an old lady. It might be the first time she saw Liu Yinyin. She was a stranger, so she became a little wary. She looked her up and down and asked, "Miss, what do you want?"

Liu Yinyin said softly, "Auntie, this is what happened. My grandma is sick today, so she asked me to buy some vegetables."

It turned out that he was buying groceries for his family.

Aunt Li let down her guard when she heard that. She was just a little girl, so she wasn't worried that she would do anything bad.

Aunt Li let Liu Yinyin in and locked the door again.

Then he led Liu Yinyin into a room. He didn't know what the room was made of. As soon as Liu Yinyin came in, she suddenly felt chilly.

The layout in the room was just like a vegetable stall, with a dozen bamboo baskets on the ground filled with various vegetables, including red amaranth, rapeseed, leeks, lettuce, and spinach.

However, there weren't many vegetables left in the basket, and the leaves were a little wilted, as if they were left over by others.

What surprised Liu Yinyin was that there were eggplants, tomatoes, okra and cauliflower here.

Normally, eggplants, tomatoes and other fruits are not ripe yet this month.

I don’t know where the Li family got these vegetables from.

There is another row of shelves at the back of the room.

There are bottles and jars of all sizes on the shelves.

Aunt Li said to her, "You're a little late. These are the remaining dishes today. What do you want to buy?"

She sells things here just like the supply and marketing cooperative. Goods arrive in the early morning and people come to buy things before daybreak. Business is best in the early morning.

They buy things and sell them out on the same day. If there are any leftovers after dark, they will sell them at half price because they are cheap. Many people come to buy things at that time, and most of them are here to pick up bargains.

Of course, this only applies to vegetables and meat that cannot be stored for a long time.

Liu Yinyin asked her directly: "Are there any grains, meat, and fruits?"

She was asking about good things, so Aunt Li couldn't help but take a second look at her. She saw that she had a pretty face and was well dressed.
