"I'd like to eat steamed buns, is that okay?"
She regretted it as soon as she said it; steamed buns were such a hassle, how could she possibly agree to that?
Su Jingjing couldn't stand the child's cautious demeanor; she preferred to see the brat act completely carefree towards her.
I tentatively patted his head and replied with a smile, "Of course, but there won't be any meat. It will only be vegetable buns or steamed buns."
Li Cheng'an ran back to his room as if fleeing, saying, "Anything is fine, I'm going back to my room to sleep first."
It turns out that a mother's touch is different from a father's.
What does it feel like to be held in your mother's arms? I must ask my sister that tomorrow.
Li Cheng'an slept soundly tonight with a sweet smile on his face.
The next day, the first thing I did upon waking up was to ask my younger sister.
"Little sister, how did it feel when Mom held you while you slept last night?"
Li Yuanyuan rubbed her eyes sleepily and suddenly asked her brother in confusion, "Brother, what is feeling?"
I almost forgot, my sister is a bit silly.
Li Cheng'an changed his question, "Then let me ask you, were you happy when Mom held you while you slept last night?"
Li Yuanyuan lowered her hand and slowly recalled what happened last night.
The more I think about it, the happier I get. My mom put her to sleep last night. How wonderful it would be if I could sleep with my mom!
Excitedly, she shouted, "Brother, Mom took the initiative to lull me to sleep. Mom's embrace is so sweet and soft, unlike Dad's!"
Of course it's different. Dad's whole body was stiff and painful. Li Cheng'an grimaced.
The next second, Yuanyuan's mood plummeted, "I should have known better than to go to sleep so early."
My mother's embrace is just so comforting.
After hearing his sister's words, Li Cheng'an felt even more envious.
Belatedly realizing what was happening, Li Yuanyuan stared intently into her brother's eyes and asked, "Brother, do you want Mommy to hug you?"
Doesn't my brother dislike my mother?
The stubborn Li Cheng'an vehemently denied it, "I...I didn't."
Then, fearing that her younger sister would notice something amiss, she got out of bed first, saying, "Get up quickly, brush your teeth, wash your face, and eat breakfast."
Li Yuanyuan said "Oh," and stopped worrying about her brother's reaction. She wanted to be a good child who got up early.
Su Jingjing went for a run this morning. It seemed that what she said yesterday had an effect. This morning, several idle women stood beside her, staring at her and whispering among themselves.
She ignored these little gestures, took a deep breath, and ran lap after lap on her own.
Do your own thing and let others talk.
Whether they are curious or gossipy, it's none of my business.
When she saw that it was almost time, she went straight home to her apartment to make breakfast for her child.
Instead of wasting time on this, it would be more meaningful to think about nutritious meals for the two children.
Years of staying at home have honed her culinary skills, and it seems that it was destined that she would take care of the two children.
Li Hanting wasn't home for breakfast this morning, so I don't need to make too many steamed buns.
After deciding what to do, I started kneading the dough, preparing the filling, and then skillfully shaping a few buns and placing them on the steamer.
At this moment, the two children also got up, and Yuanyuan ran over and obediently called out to her mother.
Afraid of burning her, Su Jingjing instructed An'an behind her, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face with your sister first. You can have breakfast when the eggs are cooked."
Li Cheng'an was unusually obedient, and he obediently took his sister's hand and walked towards the bathroom.
He learned things quickly from a young age; once he did something once, he could master it.
Now he can brush his teeth and wash his face with ease, but he also has to take care of his younger sister while she brushes her teeth to prevent her from getting her clothes wet.
Even if he slept all day, he could still get a perfect score on tests in kindergarten, but his younger sister wouldn't let him sleep because she sat next to him.
Besides, he also has to take care of his younger sister's studies. Perhaps he absorbed all the nutrients in his mother's womb, which is why his sister is clumsy in everything she does, including her studies.
Grandma often said that he inherited his father's intelligence, while his younger sister was more like his mother. But Grandma was not biased and loved his younger sister very much.
She didn't dare to openly visit him and his sister in the family compound; she would always secretly bring them treats to the kindergarten.
Whether in the family compound or at Grandma's house, Mom always had the presence of a mountain king, and no one dared to defy her.
After washing up, the brother and sister couldn't wait to sit in their chairs and wait for their mother to bring out breakfast.
"Come on, one egg each. Eat as many buns as you can, don't be shy."
Su Jingjing was happy to watch her two children eat breakfast, and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
The atmosphere at the dining table wasn't exactly harmonious, but it was still warm and cozy, and the family of three ate breakfast contentedly.
After feeding them for the past few days, the two children's faces have visibly gained weight, especially Yuan Yuan, whose face is no longer dominated by her big eyes, and she has become more lively.
She is confident about her future.
After the two children started school, Su Jingjing did a thorough cleaning of the house, especially the children's pillows and blankets, which hadn't been washed even once a year, as sleeping on them for so long was bad for their health.
Taking advantage of the sunny day, she washed all the bedding and made sure to open the window to let the sun in.
As for Li Hanting's room, she dared not go in. If she accidentally lost any important documents, she would have no way to explain herself.
It's easy to think about, but hard to do. She kept rubbing the blanket with both hands, and even though it was a thin summer blanket, Su Jingjing still felt her hands were sore.
At this moment, I really miss the washing machines of later generations, where you could just throw anything in and not have to worry about anything else.
She rubbed it several times, because the water in the bucket was just too dirty.
