Gu Mingjing took a quick shower in three minutes, then spent another two minutes shaving, put some of his wife's skin care products on his face, and reappeared in the living room.
"Yi Yi, I'm Daddy, Daddy, do you recognize me?" After saying that, he looked expectantly at the little kids playing water fight in the basin.
This time, maybe because he really recognized him or because he was having too much fun playing in the water, but little Gu Yiyi didn’t reject him anymore. He giggled and moved his little hands and feet non-stop.
Jian Shu wiped the water off his face and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"No, I rushed back after finishing the report and didn't have time. What did you eat for dinner? I'll just eat something simple." Gu Mingjing answered while teasing the child.
"No, I ate the little that was left from lunch at night. Let me get you something else to eat."
Gu Mingjing said, "Okay, take more. I'm really hungry."
"Would you like rice or noodles?"
"Noodles, please."
Jianshu thought for a moment, then grabbed a large bowl of beef noodles, a few steamed buns, and a large platter of braised food and other side dishes. A pile of plates filled the table, taking up quite a bit of space.
"It's too much. We can't finish it." Gu Mingjing was shocked.
"If you can't finish it, you can eat it tomorrow." Jian Shu said, taking over his job of taking a shower. "Hurry up and eat. You'll have plenty of time to spend with your daughter later."
Gu Mingjing didn't bother eating the noodles. He picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. In one bite, two-thirds of it was gone. You know, the steamed buns at home are quite large. Jianshu was full after eating one and a half. This bite was like a huge mouth of the abyss.
You can also tell that he is really hungry.
He quickly finished a steamed bun with the noodle soup. Then Gu Mingjing picked up the chopsticks, added chili and vinegar to the bowl, mixed it briefly, picked up the chopsticks, and swallowed another big mouthful of noodles.
"Eat slowly. Eating too fast is bad for your stomach." Jianshu reminded.
"Okay." Gu Mingjing agreed incoherently.
"You came back pretty quickly this time. I thought it would take you a few days to come back."
Gu Mingjing ate noodles in a hurry, and his words were not very clear, but fortunately he could still hear clearly, "This mission went quite smoothly, much faster than expected, so I came back early. It's just right for me to rest for two days and spend some time with you two."
"That's not bad. You take care of the kids for the next two days, so I can have a couple of days off. You should also cultivate your relationship with your daughter and stop being like strangers."
"That's what I mean. A while ago, Lao Li went on a mission, and when he came back, his son didn't recognize him. He started crying when he was held, and no matter how I tried to comfort him, he wouldn't stop. We can't let that happen in our family."
Perhaps because she heard a familiar name, little Gu Yiyi turned her head around to see who was calling her.
As soon as her eyes met Gu Mingjing's, she immediately grinned, revealing two tiny teeth, which were so adorable that people wanted to pry them away.
"This little tooth is so cute!" Gu Mingjing praised.
In his eyes, his daughter is the best in everything.
Jianshu's mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself: If you saw the X-ray of the baby's teeth, you wouldn't say that.
She had seen it once by chance in her previous life and couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body. The scene was so horrifying.
After giving the child a bath, Jianshu wrapped the child in a large bath towel and carried him back to the room.
Seeing this, Gu Mingjing ate up the remaining steamed buns with the noodle soup, then washed the dishes, poured out his daughter's bath water, wiped his hands and followed in.
"How are your meals these days? Can you eat enough by yourself?" He has been thinking about this.
Jian Shu unscrewed the cap of the baby cream and applied it all over her body, her hands very gently. But little Gu Yiyi didn't cooperate and kept trying to hide, so she could only hold it down tightly with one hand while continuing to apply with the other.
"It's much better than when I first started. I can eat half of a spoonful, and I can still feel full even if I eat slowly."
Seeing that she was a little overwhelmed, Gu Mingjing stepped forward to help, and felt relieved, "As long as you can eat, it's okay if you eat slowly." At least it's much better than at the beginning.
The two of them cleaned up quickly together, and soon a sweet little baby was born.
Gu Mingjing rested at home for two days and did not go out. He stayed at home to accompany his wife and daughter.
She lies on a rattan mat with her child every day, saying that she wants to teach the child to crawl.
Jianshu was lying on a recliner nearby, applying a homemade facial mask. She didn't bother to pay attention to the father and daughter, letting them do whatever they wanted. As long as they didn't bother her, anything was fine.
"What are we eating tonight?" After playing for a while, Gu Mingjing started thinking about dinner.
There's nothing much to do at home anyway, so isn't it just about eating every day?
"What do you want to eat?" Jianshu threw the question back.
Gu Mingjing thought for a moment and said, "How about some cold noodles? This is refreshing and won't make you sweat."
"Okay, but you have to knead and roll the dough."
"Can."
The two of them discussed and decided on tonight's dinner, and the little boy Gu Yiyi on the other side couldn't wait to show his presence.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
"Okay, okay, I'll make it for you too. How about chicken porridge today?" Gu Mingjing picked up the fan beside him and fanned the child gently.
Jian Shu took a sip of honey grapefruit tea and said, "This is what you promised. You are responsible for it."
"Then you have to teach me, I'm not very good at this."
"This is easy. I'll tell you the steps."
"That's fine."
With dinner off the table, Jianshu was happy to have some free time. At least babysitting was better than cooking, which in the hot summer was a sweaty endeavor.
Although both of them had cold noodles for dinner, there were some differences in the two people's bowls.
Jianshu's dish only had vinegar and red oil added, while Gu Mingjing's dish had some sesame paste added to it. The taste was different and each had its own flavor.
Before eating, the two of them had to take care of the little ancestor. Seeing her sitting down obediently, he picked up the spoon and started to scoop porridge into her mouth. Then the two of them sat back in their chairs and started to feast on the meal.
"Yi Yi is becoming more and more skilled at eating. After a while, she shouldn't spill half of the food everywhere like she does now." Gu Mingjing felt much more relieved when he saw his daughter eating and playing at the same time without crying or making a fuss.
"There's still a lot to learn later. Now you're using spoons. When you grow up a bit, you'll have to learn to use chopsticks, which is much more difficult." Jianshu was not so optimistic and poured cold water on him.
Gu Mingjing smiled and said, "It's okay, just take your time. Our girl is smart and will definitely learn it. Right, Yiyi? Our Yiyi is the smartest baby."
"Cluck, cluck, cluck—ah-ah!" Perhaps knowing it was a compliment, little Gu Yiyi picked up the spoon and waved it around, extremely happy.
Seeing the father and daughter laughing so happily, Jianshu couldn't help laughing too.
