Extra: Daily life of raising a child 5: Shen Huaichu taking care of the child every day
Early in the morning, Manman sat up from the bed with sleepy eyes. After taking a rest, he took the clothes beside the bed and changed himself. It was a pair of cream-colored overalls that he had picked out last night.
Shen Huaichu came in at the usual time and saw his son who had already dressed.
Seeing him come in, Manman stretched out his short little hand and called "Dad" softly.
This was also his son's habit.
Shen Huaichu was used to it, went forward to hug him down, and received a lovely good morning kiss.
At first, Shen Huaichu was not too used to these little habits of his son. He also had a stern face and tried to be strict with his son.
But those eyes really looked too much like Jingyi, so much so that other people would sigh when they saw the two standing together, even if Manman was a boy, he looked like a smaller version of Jingyi.
And Manman was not afraid of Shen Huaichu. Even if he had a cold face, he could just climb up and kiss him.
Every time Jingyi sighed, her son really grasped his old father's heart accurately.
But Manman is a sweet baby. Except for the frequent questions and unconscious words that choke people, he is obedient and smart at other times, and rarely makes them upset.
After Manman finished washing up, she took Shen Huaichu out. Seeing Jingyi sitting at the dining table waiting for the father and son, her big black eyes were full of surprise.
"Mom, you got up so early today!"
Jingyi glanced at Shen Huaichu with a slightly raised corner of her mouth, and looked down at Manman who had been blocking people in the morning.
"Yes, Mom had something to go out this morning, so she got up so early." Anyway, she just doesn't like getting up early, so what.
Manman didn't hear the "self-deprecation" in Jingyi's tone, and still excitedly pulled Shen Huaichu over.
Today, Mom got up for breakfast, and he wanted to sit between Mom and Dad!
Shen Huaichu picked up his son, put him on a special chair, and then moved the breakfast that had been placed over.
Manman looked at the small bowl of yam millet porridge in front of him, and then looked at the various breakfasts in front of his mother.
"Dad, can we only eat porridge today?"
Jing Yi silently moved his breakfast farther away so that his son wouldn't be jealous, but the little voice sounded pitiful.
Shen Huaichu also took his millet porridge. The porridge was made by his aunt. Manman had eaten it for two or three days. Even in kindergarten, he had asked in advance, and the servants at home would send a special lunch.
How could he not hear the disappointment in Manman's tone? He just had to eat it. It was his son's love for food. He had also eaten food accumulation a few days ago. His uncomfortable little look scared the whole family.
"Yes, there is one day left. If the symptoms of food accumulation are better tomorrow, you don't have to eat."
Manman looked at Jing Yi eagerly, but only got a helpless look, and at the same time he couldn't see the rich breakfast in front of his mother.
Jing Yi couldn't resist her son's eyes, and was about to finish the breakfast in front of her.
Seeing Jing Yi's appearance, Shen Huaichu frowned slightly and advised: "Eat slowly." Eating so fast is not afraid of stomach discomfort.
Then he looked down at his son and said seriously: "Mom didn't have indigestion, can she enjoy her breakfast?"
The way Shen Huaichu and his wife educate is to discuss problems with their children on an equal footing, especially after Manman can understand, the effect of this education method is even more obvious.
Just like now, Manman nodded seriously, and the little chirp on his head shook.
"Yes, Mom, Manman won't watch it anymore, millet porridge is also delicious." As he said that, he took a spoonful of millet porridge and put it into his mouth.
Jingyi smiled and rubbed his head gently.
"When Manman is ready, let's go to Grandma Wang to make delicious food!"
Every time at this time, Jingyi was very grateful for his good luck, having an angel son, and of course, more importantly, his son's father is also an angel father.
Everyone said that Manman looked like her, but Jingyi felt that Manman looked like Shen Huaichu, especially when he was thinking about something seriously, he really looked like his father.
Jingyi looked at Shen Huaichu who was still drinking millet porridge with his son, and watched him wipe the corners of Manman's mouth from time to time, with gentle love in his eyes.
Others say "It's good as long as the father is alive to take care of the baby", but it's a different scene in her family.
After Manman was born, Shen Huaichu took care of the baby more. Shen Huaichu always said that he didn't have time to make a plan to be a father, but his identity change was faster than her.
When she was still worried about how to be a mother and how to control the child's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, Shen Huaichu had already taken care of all these.
No one is as competent as her husband.
Shen Huaichu looked up and saw Jing Yi looking at him, wondering: "What's wrong? Is breakfast not to your taste?"
It shouldn't be, these are all her favorites, and he even asked the aunt at home to learn from Aunt Wang.
Jing Yi smiled with curved eyebrows and dimples, "No, I want to try your millet porridge."
Shen Huaichu looked at her helplessly, but his expression was doting. He was about to raise the spoon to serve it, but someone got there first.
Manman, with his slightly curled little head, looked up at Jingyi happily, "Mom! Manman will feed you! Manman and Daddy's are the same!"
As he spoke, he held a spoon with some millet porridge in it and approached Jingyi with his other hand, looking very careful and cautious, which made Jingyi very cute.
"Thank you, Manman!"
Jingyi ate his millet porridge and smiled as he rubbed Manman's curly hair.
On the side, Shen Huaichu's hand holding the spoon was slightly stiff, and he helplessly watched the intimate interaction between mother and son.
Yes, my son beat me to it again.
Jing Yi looked up and saw Shen Huaichu's helpless expression, "The child's father, where's yours?" Shen Huaichu raised the corners of his mouth slightly again, held the bowl, put a spoonful of it to Jing Yi's mouth.
Jing Yi tasted it seriously and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, they are all very good."
Manman's eyes lit up with a 'shua', and he turned to look at Shen Huaichu, "Dad, can I have a taste of yours?"
Shen Huaichu gave him a spoonful of food in a funny way. They all came out of the same pot. What difference could there be?
Manman imitated Jing Yi and tasted carefully, "Not bad, they are all good!"
The mother and son's very similar eyes looked at Shen Huaichu with a smile. The curve of the corners of Shen Huaichu's mouth was a little deeper, and his whole person was soft and gentle.
After breakfast, it is the routine of going to kindergarten.
Manman obediently gave her mother a farewell kiss, waited for her mother to return the gift, and then watched her mother give her father a farewell kiss before leading her father out.
"Dad, you didn't send me to school last week, and all my classmates asked you."
"Ask me what?"
"I asked you why you didn't send me to school."
"Then what did you say?"
"I said you were on a business trip. Dad, will you go on a business trip again?"
"Maybe I still want it."
"Well, I have to come back early in the future, otherwise they will keep asking me."
"...That's it?"
"Because when they ask, I will think of dad again, and I will be a little sad when I think about not being able to see you when I go home."
"...Okay, I'll be back soon."
