The child hadn't had a headache yet, but Gu Mingjing had one first, and he also experienced Jianshu's previous helplessness.
"Why are you so stubborn, kid? I don't know who you took that from."
Unable to comfort her, he could only do as she wished. Gu Mingjing held little Gu Yiyi and sat on the throne that Jianshu had sat on for the entire afternoon.
The father and daughter held an umbrella and sat in the rain, staring at the dark clouds in the sky in a daze.
Of course, little Gu Yiyi was curious with a hint of happiness, while Comrade Gu Mingjing was helpless with a hint of resignation.
This was the scene Jianshu saw when he came out again, and he immediately burst out laughing.
At this time, anyone who is not involved will want to laugh.
This picture is so funny.
Hearing the noise, Gu Mingjing looked over with resentment.
Jian Shu didn't feel guilty at all. "What are you looking at? I've been holding you like this all afternoon, and you can't stand it for just a moment? Do you still look like a father?"
"...I didn't say that." Gu Mingjing couldn't help but defend himself.
Jian Shu snorted, "Now you know how stubborn your daughter is, right? If you continue to indulge her, sooner or later she'll become a troublemaker."
Gu Mingjing was helpless. When it came to indulgence, his wife was no less so.
Without dwelling on this issue, he pointed at the girl in his arms and said, "Just leave her like this? The temperature is getting lower and lower. Why don't you just bring her inside?"
"Care? What can I do? There's no point in trying to reason with her. She doesn't understand what we're saying. Hit her? Would you be willing to do that?" Jian Shu retorted, then turned and went into the house to get a small blanket, throwing it to him. "Wrap her in it. You won't be cold. When it gets dark, she'll naturally want to come in. You can continue to waste time with her here. I'm not going to keep you company."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the house.
Gu Mingjing had no choice but to wrap the child in a quilt. Perhaps he knew that the child could not struggle, or perhaps he simply did not care, but little Gu Yiyi obediently let her father wrap her in the quilt.
The father and daughter waited outside the house to see who would surrender first.
On the other side, Jianshu went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for today.
After spending the whole afternoon, she was exhausted and had no mood to cook anything fancy. She just cooked some batter and ate it.
But adults can be fooled because there is a little baby at home.
Jianshu has been gradually introducing complementary foods to Gu Yiyi since she was six months old. First, she started with rice cereal, then moved on to mashed potatoes, vegetables, fruits, and meat. Gu Yiyi has always been a non-picky eater, accepting everything she's been offered.
As time went by, Jianshu was no longer as cautious as she was at the beginning. As long as the child could eat at this stage, she would prepare everything. For the cook, seeing the food being eaten up was the greatest encouragement.
Every time little Gu Yiyi shows up, Jianshu becomes more motivated.
But today, Jianshu was so troubled by this kid that her maternal love temporarily disappeared and she didn't want to make any new preparations.
There is still a lot of rice noodles at home, so you can eat as much as you want.
But having said that, Jianshu didn't really just give people rice noodles. They also added some mashed potatoes and pork, so it had both meat and vegetables.
As she expected, when it was dark, the father and daughter finally came into the house.
Jianshu walked over and touched the child's hand. It was still warm, even hotter than her own hand.
Well, it seems there's no need to worry. This child has been in good health since childhood and has rarely been sick. He is very considerate of his parents.
"Let's eat. After dinner, give her a bath. Let's be careful tonight. If she's fine tomorrow, there's nothing to worry about."
"Okay, just sleep well at night and I'll keep an eye on it." Gu Mingjing nodded in agreement.
Jianshu neither agreed nor refused, as both knew that it was impossible for the other to be completely at ease.
While eating, little Gu Yiyi didn't realize that his dinner was perfunctory at all. He ate happily with every bite.
"Awooo--" Little Gu Yiyi sat on his own exclusive throne, staring at the spoon in his father's hand with his mouth wide open. If his father was slow, he would urge him.
Seeing her wolfing down her food, Gu Mingjing felt helpless. "Yiyi, eat slowly. No one is trying to snatch it from you."
Jianshu was watching from the side and said, "We didn't treat her badly, so why does she look like she hasn't had enough to eat? Luckily, Dad and the others are not here, otherwise they would think we were abusing her."
"No, Yiyi has loved eating it since she was a child, and Dad and the others all know it."
After all, this child has been like this since he was born and started eating complementary foods.
"When the weather is good, I'll take a few more photos of Yi Yi. Dad wrote to me a few days ago, saying he wanted to see Yi Yi."
"Okay, then take a few more pictures so Dad can see enough."
"Haha—I'm afraid that's not possible. Once I send them this time, I guarantee they'll be asking for new photos in less than two months. There's no such thing as seeing enough, only seeing enough."
The couple talked and laughed. After finishing their meal, Jianshu took over Gu Yiyi's after-meal work, wiping her face and hands. Every time they ate, the couple seemed to be taking turns and could not eat together at all.
The noodles were left for a while, and although Jianshu added more soup so they didn't clump together, they inevitably became a lot softer and not as chewy as when they were just out of the pot.
Fortunately, the weather was warm and the food was still hot.
"Why don't you let Yiyi learn to eat by himself in the future? It's not a good thing to be fed all the time. Every time we eat, it's like we're going to the market. It's too rushed and not good for the stomach." Jianshu suggested while wiping the child's face.
Gu Mingjing hesitated. "Isn't it too early now? Yiyi is still so young. Can she hold the spoon? Even if she can, is it okay to let her eat by herself?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. I didn't tell her to be a perfect eater or very skilled at it from the beginning. I just wanted her to practice first. Practice makes perfect. Even if you can only feed her once out of ten at first, over time it will become three or five times. These things have to be done slowly. I'm not expecting success right away."
"Besides, she can sit very well now, and her hands are quite strong, but they are not very flexible yet. It's a good opportunity for her to continue eating to exercise the flexibility of her fingers, which will be good for her in the future. I don't want my daughter to be like other children, who are already three or four years old and still need grandparents to chase after her with a bowl of rice and coax her to eat." The more Jian Shu spoke, the more determined he became.
In her previous life, she often watched videos of children eating. At the beginning, their faces would be covered with food, and they would be dirty. Most of the food in a bowl would be spilled, but they would gradually become more and more skilled.
Although there was some waste at first, it was necessary because every child had to go through this. She couldn't just throw the baby out with the bathwater and do everything herself because she was afraid of waste, trouble, or hassle.
Children always need to grow up.
