Chapter 276: A Damn Little
The baby went to bed early last night, and I guess he will wake up earlier in the morning. Because I was worried about it, I woke up before six o'clock, took Qiao Yichen's arm across my waist and got out of bed. I washed up and changed into a casual dress, Qiao Yichen was still sleeping, the funniest thing was that I didn't know what to pull my pillow over, and I slept happily in my arms. I shook my head and walked out of the bedroom to the nursery.
"Young grandma, the little master just woke up, and I was about to take the little master to you after changing my clothes." The babysitter gave the baby a change of clothes.
"Come on, mommy hug." I picked up the baby and nodded his little mouth, "Are you hungry?" β
The baby babbled in response, and his two little hands fluttered, as if to say - even if he was hungry.
I fed the baby well, and planned to go to the kitchen to cook some fish porridge for the baby: "Let's take Xiao Wei down." β
"Okay." The babysitter followed me to the living room with the baby in her arms.
I walked into the kitchen and noticed that Joean seemed to be doing something snack.
I picked up my apron and put it on: "Big brother is early." β
"Early." Qiao Yi'an poured the cake batter into the cake mold, knocked a few times and shook the bubbles, "What are you going to do?" β
"Cook some porridge for Xiao Wei." I first washed the rice and porridge, then took a piece of salmon from the freezer and started to mince the fish, "Do you make chocolate cake?" β
"Well, I saw cherry jam in the fridge and decided to make a Black Forest cake." Joean set the time for the oven.
"You actually know how to make cakes......" Although Qiao Yi'an's personality seems to be more easy-going than Qiao Yichen, he doesn't look like a pastry maker at all.
"I make cakes very well, and I use this craft to travel while working during the holidays when I was in school." Joean rubbed the chocolate into fine pieces, and added some cherry liquor to the cherry jam, "I learned to make Black Forest cakes in Baden, better than the chefs in the small bar." β
"You've been to Baden too? I also went there when I was traveling in the Black Forest and the hot springs there were great. However, I had to prepare for an exam and rush back to school for only two days. The Black Forest cakes made in a family tavern there were very tasty, and I didn't get them that good later. β
I cooked the porridge, and Joe's cake was baked, and he put it upside down on the cake stand to cool and demold, and then went to the yard to pick fresh cherries.
"Baby, what are you cooking?" Qiao Yichen walked into the kitchen in his loungewear and gently hugged me from behind.
"Cook porridge for the baby." I took off my apron and turned my head to look at Qiao Yichen, "Awakened?" β
"Hmm." Qiao Yichen scratched his hair a little embarrassedly, "I did drink too much yesterday, and I won't be like this in the future......"
"Why do I feel so familiar?" I rolled my eyes at Qiao Yichen.
"Uh...... Not really, I promise! Qiao Yichen took me by the hand and walked out of the kitchen, pressed me to the chair next to the dining table, and then instructed the housekeeper, "Let's eat." β
After the wedding yesterday, my father went to the nursing home here to continue his rehabilitation. Mom and Li Mingyuan took a night flight to Paris, and Qiao Yi'an will accompany Old Man Qiao back to Maple City this afternoon.
"Hmm...... You all got up earlier than me today......" Old Man Qiao walked into the dining room.
"Grandpa morning." I said hello to Mr. Joe.
"Early." Old man Qiao teased the baby lying in the stroller, "Every day is the earliest of our grandfathers, and today grandpa is lazy, isn't it?" The baby giggled.
After breakfast, Joean demolded the cake into two slices, added a thick layer of cherry jam between the cake, sprinkled with frosting and chocolate chips, and decorated with cherries. I beat my baby's minced fish porridge into rice cereal with a cooking stick and put it in a small bowl and bring it to the living room.
Qiao Yichen was playing with the baby, and when he saw me coming over with porridge, he picked up the baby very tacitly and put on a bib for the baby: "We have eaten porridge, sit down." β
The baby is holding a wool felt doll in his hand and is smacking his mouth. Qiao Yichen held the baby, I fed the porridge to the baby with a small spoon, and the three of them cooperated very well, and ate a small half bowl after a while: "Okay, just eat so much." β
"Oooh...... Giggling...... "The baby clapped his hands and buried his little face in Qiao Yichen's chest.
"Poof......" I put down the bowl and just wanted to wipe the baby's mouth, but I didn't expect the little guy to greet Qiao Yichen with all the porridge sticky on the small mouth. I think the little guy really wiped his mouth, because immediately after rubbing it clean, he stretched out a pair of small hands to me to hug me.
Qiao Yichen looked at the baby dumbfounded, and gently patted the baby's little buttocks: "Is this treating Dad as a handkerchief?" β
I held the baby, and the little one started kicking his little feet to himself.
"Try the cake I made." The Black Forest cake is served on a large ruffle-like plate with cherry red on top.
Qiao Yi'an first sandwiched a piece of cake and put it on a small plate and served it to Old Man Qiao: "Let the gourmets judge it first." β
"If you want to judge desserts, girls have more to say." Old Man Qiao tasted it, "However, I think it's good." β
"Girls who have the right to speak will also judge." Qiao Yi'an also brought me a piece of cake, and when he wanted to clip the cake to Qiao Yichen, Qiao Yichen waved his hand, "I don't like to eat cakes." β
"It's delicious, it's the same I've eaten in Baden before." The cake made by Qiao Yi'an has a very strong cherry aroma, which is much fresher than the usual Black Forest cake.
I cut a piece with a small spoon and fed it to Qiao Yichen, who nodded: "It's not bad." The baby was gesturing with his little hands, and Qiao Yichen changed the baby's position, "You can't eat the cake yet, Dad feeds you some mashed bananas, okay?" β
Qiao Yichen asked the nanny to make mashed bananas and feed them to the baby, and I continued to eat the cake: "The Black Forest cake I usually buy is also added with cherry jam, but the fruity aroma is not so strong." β
"The most indispensable thing to make an authentic Black Forest cake is not chocolate, but cherry liquor, cherry jam and cherry juice." "Because the Black Forest is rich in cherries, it is common to make wine and jam to make cherries easier to store, and clever housewives add a lot of jam and cherry liquor to their cakes, and this cake with a unique flavor gradually spreads and becomes a famous cake. β
"It turned out to be a lot of cherry juice and cherry liquor in the cake batter." It is estimated that the average cake chef rarely does this, so the fruity aroma of the cherries is always not strong enough.
"Hmm." Qiao Yi'an nodded.
The baby fluttered his little hands a little irritably, babbling and not knowing what he was talking about. Qiao Yichen took the baby out of the stroller: "What's wrong?" What do you want to do? β
"I guess I want to go swimming." Generally, when the weather is good, the baby will be allowed to play in the water with a swimming ring for a while in the morning.
"Tell Dad you want to swim?" Qiao Yichen let the baby lie on his chest and hold it with his hands.
"Dad...... Father...... Dad ......" The little guy put his little hand around Qiao Yichen's neck.
"This is a long skill, and you can call Dad?" Qiao Yichen rubbed the baby's hair, "Dad will take you to swim." β
"Grandpa, big brother, let's go up first." I followed Qiao Yichen upstairs to prepare something for the baby to swim.
In the afternoon, Qiao Yi'an accompanied Old Man Qiao back to Fengcheng, Qiao Yichen personally sent them to the airport, and it was already evening when he came back. At this time, the temperature was more suitable, I took the baby to play in the yard, Qiao Yichen came over and gently hugged my waist: "Grandpa, they went back, Dad also settled down, where do you want to go for your honeymoon?" Santorini? Provence? Or...... Big brother has an island near Nice, do you want to go and have some fun? β
"......" My mouth is about to open into an O-shape, Li Mingyang actually has an island in France, the legendary island owner......
"Where do you want to go, tell me ......" Qiao Yichen lowered his head and kissed my hair.
"Let's play nearby, I'm afraid the baby will not be used to doing a long trip." Whatever I do now, I have to prioritize the baby.
"It's okay, when the baby is older, let's go to a distant place." Qiao Yichen rested his chin on my shoulder and kissed the baby's face, "Boy, when you grow up, Dad will take Mom to travel around the world, not with you!" β
"Come on, my son is growing up, and he still doesn't want to play with you." I glanced at Qiao Yichen, "I dislike you for being a bad old man." β
"As long as you don't dislike me, it doesn't matter who dislikes me." Qiao Yichen shrugged.
"I want to dislike it, but when you were a bad old man, I was also an old woman, and I didn't have the capital to dislike it at all......," I sighed.
"In my eyes, Xin Xin will always be the best." Qiao Yi pouted on my earlobe, gnawing on it carefully, I couldn't help but shudder, "Don't make a fuss......"
"Go back to eating." Qiao Yichen grabbed my waist and led me to the villa, "Rest early today...... I thought Qiao Yichen said to rest early today and go out to play tomorrow. I didn't expect what Mr. Qiao said was very thunderous, "I drank too much yesterday and let my wife serve, I didn't have a hole room, I have to make up for the baby today......"
I smiled awkwardly at Qiao Yichen, "It's okay, no need......"
"How can you not use it, I will serve you today." Qiao Yichen winked at me.
When Qiao Yichen threw his eyes, he was really very demonic!
The honeymoon was spent on the island of RΓΌgen in eastern Germany, with a twisting coastline surrounded by the beautiful Baltic Sea. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany, and there are many tourism-related industries. We chose a seaside resort to stay, the baby loved it and the biggest fun every day was to catch the sand and play.
Perhaps our relationship is best described by the classic "porunacabeza": when I was 12 years old, we went to Grandpa Jing's birthday party, and we were one step away; When we were 22 years old traveling in Baden, we were one step away; When my 32-year-old mother said that she would introduce a girl named Jing Xin to me, I thought everything was going to be natural, but it turned out to be one step away. It's a little bit worse every time, a little damn it. ββFrom Qiao Yi'an's circle of friends who are only visible to him.
